Uh, I would like to say that Xenozip Fooligar and Myself are the best monster players equally(fooligar being better than both of us but not by much ;V) And ive yet to find anyone to contend that.
Well I can defend JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. For the most part this game plays like VS combined
with elements of marvel. If you ban petshop (the bird that flys and owns the whole cast 9-1 on
match charts) from the game you have a game were multiple characters can be used. The games
only flaw is that its difficult to learn due to too many one hit frame link combos being in the
game overall though its underated and needs to be played.
- Vampire Hunter is also a very underrated game. The gameplay is solid overall and pretty
balanced as well. The game has no real bullshit shenanigans that keep it from being played
seriously (like dark forces, unblockables that are not already moves, etc). It also has better
music then Vampire Savior. Its just that Vampire Savior is a much better game though match
are fast and furious, rounds end quick (good for tourneys), and it is much more deeper than
Vampire Hunter. That is my case for all three games. Peace Out

Youre the best, nicest mod ever.
I think EX3 sold more. Ray Jimenez told Bunkei it was the most lucrative fighter Capcom made in many years or something like it. It as a launch title, so it sold a lot of copies.
Dogface made a great post. MvC1 is great. Infinites are not that much of a factor. The only character that revolves too much around that is Red Venom, and maybe WM to some extent. But even MvC2 has Magneto and IM. The game has rushdown and runaway, really advanced stuff, had a tourney scene at the time, and it can spark some rivalries. Look at ECC 2000 videos on YouTube or even online videos on GodWeapon and see how nice the game looks like. It can get the numbers and, as a plus, maybe it can get the online players out of their houses, which makes for a bigger community overall.
MvC1
Weapon Lord
Gundam Wing: Endless Duel
TMNT:TF (SNES)
SF:EX3
Sonic the Fighters
Newest Bloody Roar (even though I hate the game)
ERGHIEZ! (just kidding)
Vampire Saviors
Cyberbots
UMK3
A lot of these could be cut too. I like what you’re doing but you don’t want to over-load on games.
Also, Mike Z has a Cyberbots combo exhibition on CV. So, check it out. It’s pretty good.
But my main general picks would be
Sonic the Fighters
TMNT:TF
WeaponLord
Gundamn Wing: Endless Duel
Cyberbots (just cause I’m really interested in this game for some reason)
Even though we WANT a scene outside of Kailera for, UMK3, XvSF, MvC1…and others…I doubt it’ll happen. Can’t really explain why…but I really doubt it would happen.
-SH
I can lead the pack for XVSF, leave that to me. For UMK3, contact EWAShock…already am doing my best organizing the North American tournament vs. Canada…which will happen, just gotta get my funds together for it etc.
Where is Primal Rage??
I’d advice against that… most of the bloody roar community doesn’t like BR4… 3, PF, or Extreme would all be better choices because people actually play those games.
EWAShock is too strong.
-SH
When you say states, does that mean there was international competition? It’s been known that Bloody Roar isn’t known for it’s depth, which is why I’m skeptical about it.
Yeah, I don’t think Power Stone is that serious, fun game, though.
Okay, I think I’ll add Jojo, I remember how Petshop was said to be way overpowered, but if he’s banned, then I think that justifies Jojo being on the list… by the way, does Jojo have any easy infinites?
About Vampire Hunter, I want to represent the best in the series for each game, even though the gameplay isn’t as similar as Vampire Savior, Vampire Savior is regarded as the better game, and I want to have room to do other fighting games as well.
Like Dog-Face said, the best time we can do this would probably be after Marvel ends. If I’m able to finish up on the games (I think these games can run by quickly,) then this should be able to go down.
I’ve already had this planned; I plan on posting this on as much as 15 websites (from what I count.)
As I said before, if you are going to suggest a game, then please give reasons. Anyone can name a game, but explaining why it deserves to be played is another thing.
Here are some games that have a chance at being added to the list, although I’ve prioritized the games.
- JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
- Street Fighter EX3
- Marvel Vs. Capcom
- Sonic the Fighters
Here are games that are in danger of being taken off the list, unless someone is able to step up to why it should be on there:
Cyberbots: It’s feel is too similar to the VS series, and it doesn’t seem to do it as good as the VS series. Was made during the year that the VS series kicked off, so that is probably the reason why.
Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai - Another Road: This is considered to be the best of the “Budokai” series, but handheld fighters don’t translate well as fighters. This probably has more potential to stay on the list.
Soul Calibur 3: Arcade Edition: This game, unlike Arcade only fighters like Battle Fantasia will probably become obsolete in the next few months, due to SC4 coming out.
Some places Mexico has held tournaments for Bloody Roar in the past. I have no idea how good they are. I am not good at this game but it feels like it has depth so far. I don’t know though… maybe its retarded at high levels.
Yeah… sigh. There is some unexplored depth to the game but thats probably best settled in online matches… if I can get that to work. It is probably not serious enough. I just thought I would at least give it a shot. 
JoJo has VERY VERY strict timing on its infinites and loops.
Petshop is soft banned.
check the Dustloop thread for more, especially RedBeard’s posts.
Petshop is soft-banned? I thought he was outright banned in Japan…hmmm
Okay, now people are saying that with all these games, that it will be hard to run all of them, which I don’t agree with. Now, matches will be double elimination, best of 3 for everything, and Grand Finals will be best of 5 (or shortened to best of 3 if certain games run too long.) I plan on having strict (slightly lenient,) disqualifications, the only excuses will be for bathroom brakes (which you should tell ahead of time, so that we can move on to the next players in line, while you are still qualified) or if you are playing an “official” game at one of the listed majors (which we will also move on to the next players up, while you are still qualified.) I will give about 5 minutes for you to come back to your match after you are done with your official match, or when you should be out of the bathroom.
While this is not likely going to happen (unless I get some help,) we would have more than one television, so that there is less waiting and less time wasted (again, this probably isn’t likely to happen, but it’s a suggestion.) Since the majors are usually spread out to 2 days (some are even 3 days,) this will give us even more time to finish tournaments, and leave more room for games like SFA3, MvC1, etc; also, looking at the list, some are most likely not to be hosted, due to lack of availability (Battle Fantasia, SC3: Arcade Edition, Shin Budokai,) a couple will be hosted by others (depending on the tournament,) and more importantly, most of these games won’t pull that many numbers. I don’t see Psychic Force 2012, EX2+ and/or EX3, or Super Dragon Ball Z getting that many players. The most I see would be Arcana Heart (which is probably going to be off the list, since the game is expected to be as popular as games like Melty Blood and Guilty Gear,) I estimate the highest would be about 18. By the way, does anyone know how long it took to finish the SFA2 side tournament at EVO East 2007? I believe there were 25 people in that tournament.
If we aren’t able to finish these games in time, then we will probably do some of them at the hotel rooms.
Ya srsly, where’s project justice.
When you get to Evo West I may be able to bring a tv (possibly 2) to help out. I can bring a dreamcast, gamecube, wii, and possibly a PS2. Whatever I can do to help out for at Evo West I shall try my best to do.
I wouldn’t advise bringing your Wii.
Shady nigga’s at Evo. :bluu:

Tarkan:
Bleach DS 2 is the only legitimate fighting game for the DS, imo. While most games need space and TV’s and such to have tourneys, all you need is 2 (heck, even 1 person) with the game and 2 DS’s and you can instantly play. Granted, the game is somewhat unbalanced, but compared to the infinite fest that Bleach DS 1 was, bleach DS 2 fixes a lot of those and has a decent size cast of usable characters. Its overall a lot of fun and really solid as a fighter (assuming its 1v1 and no cards are used).
Rumble fish - Out on JP PS2, its nothing fantastic, but it has its following (heck, JWong even asked me if i played Rumble Fish when i visited New York and saw him at CF in June). Small cast yea, but it has its fun points, and its even being played in tourneys in Japan at places like Ko-Hatsu. The attendance isn’t huge, but there’s people who play the game hardcore, so it could be a good addition.
Spectral vs Generation - Out on JP PS2 and PSP, this game is pretty fun, fast paced etc. However, the downfall is that its chock full of infinites, but that’s part of the fun, is how crazy broke it is. If you play it expecting a really good game, you’ve got one, up until the infinites. This is for underrated fighters, and there are other people who would join SvG for shits and giggles, its kinda new, so its not completely obscure and hard to get at, but its also not popular and not that good.
In all seriousness tho, the only one i think is deserving to get a spot is Bleach DS 2. Portable fighters FTW…at least in this case. :lol:
I’m surprised no one has mentioned JUMP! Superstars or whatever the fuck it was.
That game got MAD hype when it first came out.
They were sold out at Frys and Best Buy for like 2 months.
-SH
Ya know why no one mentions it? The game is broken. Roah rapes the whole cast for free… with the exception of Sanosuke for who has something to work against Roah’s best point, but its still a bad match up for Sano. o.o; So… yeah. I might be thinking of the second one… not sure.
