Ultra “too many matchups” fighter 4.
That said, no way is this going to be the “main” tournament standard, so there’s that at least. It will be nuts in casual play though.
Vanilla Vega conducting the hype train.
You gotta use the best ver. of each char., y’know?
Good stuff, now I won’t have to play shitty ass regular Ultra where all the characters are garbage.
fuck kind of world you live in…V. vega was trash
5th char better be Don Chan…
That was the joke.
go to bed Saitsu…
i just want it as 2 different modes so we have flexibility as a community.
dont force it either direction capcom
what kind of world do you live in where vanilla vega was trash?
Vanilla Vega is obv. the best version.
Edition select could be the option in the future as the tournament standard. What if we simply don’t feel the Ultra balancing in the long run?
I think Capcom decided to to do this just in case the “Ultra metagame” ended up not working, they could just let the community just pick up their favorite versions of characters and call it a day.
I honestly think SF4 is boring as hell trying to be “balanced” and fair. I think edition select metagame would be entertaining and keep the game alive until SF5 with no trouble.
This is the final version after all, Edition Select seems like a good plan B if the metagame goes south.
Besides, Ultra characters will have DW and Red Focus. Not to mention 5 new characters. They won’t be rendered obsolete by this. Come on, now!
I’ll probably only fuck with Edition Select mode every once in awhile. It will be nothing but God mode versions of Yun, Cammy, Super Seth, and Vanilla Sagat. The occasional Bison with motion U2.
Then again my characters didnt get nerfed to hell with every patch. So Im pretty indifferent.
It wasn’t a Just in Case option for Capcom.
People wanted a “definitive version” of SF4. They’re giving it to them in a way that will make sure people will stop asking them to make another update.
It’s funny how people are saying this even has a chance of being the major tournament standard… I guess i better delete the v2012 patch from my 360 hard drive, take out my ethernet cord so it does not force me to update, and practice with vanilla AE Yun.
Well let’s break it down to facts.
Edition select let’s you pick versions of your character from before they got nerfed for justifiable reasons. This can pretty much make really broken gameplay. UMvC3 is very broken and needs to be fixed. It is also the flagship game of the current FGC. So maybe broken SF4 = New hypest game for stream monster to enjoy?
it does have a chance. a lot of the top popular players would be in favor of it.
people who dont play vanilla characters, characters who got fixed in super(vega, guile, sim), or characters who arent yun/yang would be pissed tho.
hows cody, gouken, thawk, dudley, type characters going to compete with vanilla akuma/seth/sagat
I assume that the majority of people here don’t play at major tournaments, we’re just trying to have fun playing this game online or at local tournaments. I’m not gonna bother with shitfest regular Ultra if I can play a beefed up version of SF4. This is what i’ve been dreaming for SF4, not anything related the balance, just the strongest characters of every version competing against each other.
Have you mofos never heard of Hyper fighting?
I understand what you guys are saying, makes sense, i just hope you can create a lobby and ban that option in Endless, and having it automatically banned in Ranked of course. It would be fucked up to wanna play seriously and choose the Ultra version of your character( in my case Yun) only to fight a guy not playing seriously and using AE Yun. Im definitely still hyped about this though, just not hyped about fighting online warriors using broken characters all the time for fun. Hope it’s only offline, or what i said above.
Despite actually having more choices it would probably greatly limit the variety of characters we see in tournaments. It’s still a really cool mode though.
I just think it’s funny how people were so happy about DP FADC being -5, and now people are hyped about undoing that and the return of the Vanilla A tiers. It’s like people don’t know what they really want.
I really would like the idea of this being a tournament standard because now people have to deal with the new BS along with the old BS.
Supers Guile, Abel, Rufus, and Rose were really silly but seeing that having to combat Vanilla Ryu, Sagat, and Akuma let alone AE’s Yun and E.Ryu…I totally want to see what people do in response to someones character select. The Ultra characters would still be considered new as well so not many people would know their potential until maybe after EVO, but I think it’s still a good Idea…people could literally play with their best character…for better or worse so its like…No excuse to why you lost…or is it?
All those different health and stun ratings…man…
