so much EX2+ hate. I vote for keeping it in, only becuase i don’t have a ps2 and i’ve only played EX3 once, and i’m sure many more people have played EX2+ rather than EX3. Weaponlord is gonna be dope also. Practice up peeps, Korr and Bane are coming for you.
hey wait, i’m not khris! LAWL
and it probably would be free for you since you dropped Siely for Othello ya bastard
OMG LOL Primal Rage~!
lol, after some smoke, i thought to myself that khris was you for some reason, lol.
i dont even play othello too much. i play orju the most.
Orju VS Siely sounds like something I can do.
speaking of Orju why the HELL has AyaImmortal not shown up in this thread yet
WHERE’S THAT HYPE 
sadly they don’t come out to play :(. There was an Ex2+ tournament on Friday at Evo north (before the quals started on saturday) and only 6 people entered (myself included).
And half of it were staffers of the event so they didn’t even have to pay. So out of everyone that attended Evo North only 3 people were willing to pay to play Ex2+ in a tournament setting.
though I do agree that Ex2+ did sell more than Ex3, if none of those players come out to the tournament then whats the point?
If you give us enough of a heads up I can get my group from chicago to enter (4-5 people), Tennesse (another 5-6 people), NJ (used to be like 5-6 but now more like 3-4), Cali (8-10), and thats not counting some top name players like Wong and Afrolegends. So thats at least 31 people. and I forgot about BurningFist group of people, and noisetanks group, and obviously like 6-8 members of the empire play as well.
however it being the end of the year my work isn’t likely to let me get off for any more tournaments (november to january)
I agree with EX3 over EX2+.
I’d play the hell out of EX3 but wouldn’t touch EX2+.
Yo Shinji, got anything special planned for EX3 at FRXI?
It all depends on how things go. I may end up trying to get to FR again. Though last time I had free airplane tickets so I won’t have that again this year and I’ll have to pay some money >.<
However I’m almost defintely attending Evo North again since there will be an offical SFEX3 tournament there.
When FR comes closer I should be able to tell you if I can make it.
Prolly because I posted all the links? http://forums.shoryuken.com/showpost.php?p=4286307&postcount=33
Tarkan,
XvSF is ruined in tournament play by infinites. I’ll give you that. But to say MvC2 is a “better” game is not entirely accurate. The games, and the way they are played, are significantly different. The assist factor and tiering is a big part in Marvel. You don’t have those factors in XvSF. Every team can beat every team, with the exception of say Storm vs Juggs, Cyke vs Gief, and other apparent one-sided matchups.
XvSF has gained a tremendous resurgence these last few years in the United States and now in Canada. At EVO 2k5 and EVO 2k6, the unofficial tournaments had approximately 25+ entries (which surpasses some tournouts that games like CvS2 and ST get at various majors). I had the super gun at EVO2k7, with XvSF, Alpha 3 and Vampire Savior. All three were on casual play. XvSF showed the most interest, followed closely by Alpha3. Vampire Savior had a few US diehards playing.
I think you should reconsider adding *not *XvSF, since that game seems to be doing well on it’s own and the dastardly infinite factor. BUT consider that Marvel vs Capcom 1 still has a strong and untapped fan base. MvC1 has old schoolers that are still good, ie Sabin and Dasrik, as well as new Kaillera players that have have any real turney venues to see this game at.
That game could be treated like MvC2 little brother. It’s relatively easy to learn. Has a lot of the flash and combo-potential like MvC2. And I think could get the fallout of MvC2 players, who might be say eliminated from their matches, or who like playing their favorite MvC2 charsters with six buttons.
I’ll tell you that when I had Vampire Savior on freeplay and EVO2k7, a lot of people stopped to check out the game. Unforutunaely many hadn’t played before, so I think you having a turney scene for that game could be exactly the kind of kick in the pants that game needs.
All in all, I think you should look at the possbilities with Marvel1 and I also think Vampire Savior is an excellent choice. Cyberbots? Hmm. I loved the game on my Saturn. But in my eyes, it’s so much like COTA, I don’t know if people can go back to it.
Good luck with this.

YES add XvSF too.
well personally i’m saying that as far as Monster is concerned he and fooligar are pretty much the best, and champions defend titles, sooooooo…
info about the game is good, but since Tarkan posted a schedule for the events for people to come out and actually play said games at,
what i’m saying is the best players should now try and make a commitment to actually show up, lol.
so uhh…i notice Shaq Fu isnt on your list…
^well trolled sir, well trolled.
NEC, bitch. :annoy:
LET’S DO IT
MAKE THAT MONEEEEEEE
The catch up system doesn’t effect too badly but it still causes some problems, but it still cuts down skill advantage. Still I think it can be run in tournaments. But for something like this it makes sense to leave Sonic the Fighters out because of it. It seems the only Sonic the Fighters tournaments this year are probably going to be held (and more than likely won) by me.
But serious… no bloody roar love? Come on, man. Give us something. 2/3/PF/Extreme… come on…
Project Justice?
As I said before, if you are going to suggest a game, please give a reason for why it should be there, stating the positives and negatives about it. I looked very hard and tried searching for every game and this is the list I got; I know I probably missed some, but this is where you all come in, so try to give some points to why the game should be in.
A good percentage of the cast can win tournaments, Kabal is definitely the best, but he’s not unbeatable, and the infinites are rarely ever going to be done in a real match.
I’ve always read that the gameplay was crap, but since I’ve read this post, if you can give me more reasons why this game is good, maybe what characters can do, and other positives and negatives about the system, then I’ll think about adding it in.
You are right about XvSF, there are already decent sized tournaments for it… I wanted to know how the revival started for it, when the game was ditched around 1998. I can do MvC1 if there is enough interest, and about Cyberbots, it does have that COTA feel, they were created in the same year; every match video I see with the game it seems that Warlock runs over the other characters… I’ll probably get rid of it, unless someone objects to it with reason.
No Gundam W: Endless Duel?
:bluu:

Bloody Roar Extreme or Bloody Roar 3. The main problem might be the lack of people playing these games at high levels in the states. I don’t own either… I play Primal Fury (like extreme with minor differences). It has a bit of a following and matches are rather exciting. They aren’t really too old either. I leave out 4 since it was a disappointment.
or
Power Stone 1… its gets quite a bit of love but I know buddy really took it serious. It can be quite intense but its gonna be hard to find players willing to look at it in a serious way. Item placement advantages and high hitting ground combos add quite some strange points to the game. Unfortunately most of the battles will take place in a air to avoid some of these, but you eventually need to land. The whole cast is arguably usable (Rouge being the one that falls short).
and even though I responded to this once I think I am gonna do it again in a different way… since two other people have kinda requested it but havent given details on why
Alright, it doesn’t actually push you and reward the other player for hits. You still get the gain from the hit. It just makes it so the opponent can catch back up easier… recently when testing out on the rom it turns out the catch up system does not retain power during combos… so it just makes catching up easier. Overall the game can still be played on a relatively high competitive level (one of which I still haven’t come close to reaching but I suck at learning fighters so…). The game doesn’t punish you for getting damaging hits in on the opponent (as long as it doesn’t allow the opponent to quick recover and punish you). For this reason I think the game could be considered, unless you already made up your mind on it for sure.
