I’m sorry, but ring out has got to be one of the dumbest ways to win a match. Would you honestly feel happy about getting your ass kicked, then suddenly throwing somebody out of bounds?
…seriously
^ that’s what I’m saying, unless it’s dumb luck, it’s not you getting your assed kick.
Rope-a-Dope, people, Rope-a-Dope.
Landing a well placed counter than making a comeback is awesome, but being able to see people’s faces when you get them in R.O. with R.A.D is too damn fun.
I love you both. :lovin:
You need to finish that shit, Green. It’s that damn good. Granted, the ending wasn’t as great now that I watched it again on Youtube, but it was still an awesome game all around.
cheh, I think I’d rather just lose by KO/death rather than win by a silly little Ring Out. It’s a perfect example of the very concept of “anticlimactic”. That’s bad when a particular method of winning is so lame…that I’d rather just take a loss than win like that.
-Tetris.—at best, it’s only “ok” for me. I couldn’t believe EGM once granted it the #1 spot on a list of “Greatest Games of All Time”. In no way would I rank it even close to the last spot on a top 100. Please. It’s like a gaming appetizer…something lite to play when/if I’m not really in the mood for a “real game”. This is why it was perfect on Gameboy back in 1989…it was something people could play on a roadtrip, or on the toilet.
I have a one friend who get’s PISSED and the after well placed R.O. shit got anything but anti-climatic BUT that’s a whold different can of beans so…umm…yeah…just had to get that off my chest.
The whole ring out thing goes both ways. Personally I agree with Femto on the issue but I can see it Million’s way too. Just depends an the actual circumstances. The only time a r.o. really gets me is if my hit box trips on the edge when I wasn’t actually pushed out.
e.g. one match I had I was playing as Wolf against Vanessa. The match was close, at the end she pressured me back but I hit a pedigree when her offense stalled and because Wolf’s animation for it steps him back I fell out before it killed her. In this circumstance I don’t think I was “baited,” just lost to poor chance.
nigga you lost to bullshit. You may had lost the match, but you broke the bitch neck.
Colt Steele - yeah I’ve done shit like that and it’s like “Why the fuck did I just do that move” but then again I was more mad at myself than the game.
I remember hitting my friends Lion when he was at the edge with Kage F,F,P+K+G on a major counter that floated him higher and out of the ring and my character landed on the outermost edge, but due to his character being in the air at the time it was a loss for me since my feet hit the ground first.
Ring Outs are an important part of spacial control. When you’re playing against real people, that should be a huge part of the match. If you’re not paying attention to your surroundings and don’t know enough not to do moves that’ll get you thrown the hell out, you deserve to lose that round.
What site are we on again?
N
just don’t get ringed out. be more careful, and always use 4+P+G escape against a kage who throws you. =P
if you get ringed out it’s your own fault usually…should play smarter.
I don’t want to live in a world where Def Jam Icon is considered decent in ANYTHING.
Icon had the misfortune of being rushed out, which was stupid anyway because the fall and winter season was dominated by Gears of War, Wii and the PS3 launch anyway. EA should have just held the game back and tweak it, Sony was smart enough not drop God of War 2 during that hailstrom.
Also I don’t think Wii is a garabage system, but I do think Iwata has brought forth a cheap revolution when he took over Nintendo. More Nintendo IP games (Star Fox, F-Zero, etc) are being handed off to outside developers and are either turning up like crap or just being average. The DS’ focus on cheap ‘non-games’ or stuff that probably could have been done on GBA. And I don’t have to mention the constant stream of Mario whoring. I mean he was a whore before but there have been at least five different Mario games dropping yearly for a while now.
So in short, no the Wii doesn’t suck, but Nintendo is currently cheap as fuck.
Win. Tomb Raider controls like dick.
I don’t know what that means but it had me rolling. 
The music in Streets of Rage 3 is fucking awesome
This isn’t such an unpopular opinion but normally you’ll hear guys saying SoR2’s was better and stuff but that’s bullshit. Shinobi Reverse, Dub Slash, The Poets I & II, Happy Paradise, Fuze, Boss, and Cycle I & II were fucking great.
the above
Spoiler
Actually I think I’m just an asshole who likes abrasive noise in his ear
-I gotta agree with the cat that said Sonic and Knuckles/Sonic 3 is better than Sonic 2. It’s about as simple as more is more in this case. It had the save feature and multiple stage routes. Expanded head-to-head (although to be fair I absolutley never used that and probably never will).
-Marvel vs. Capcom 2 sucks. Random nonsense, a total of maybe eight usable characters. I’d like to use someone other than the big four without feeling like I’m using 3s Sean. My opinion’s better than yours.
-Daigo’s not the best at any fighting game and I’d like for you asshole fanboys to shut up.
Oh okay. Be sure to remind us to do that after we finish not being human.
For those praising it: Braver Fencer Musashi is the first game for which I got the player’s guide after I had beaten the game just to look for something which I may have missed and when I did find it, instead of going to get it, I started over.
As usual, people see complaints about anything in a competitive game as “I’m losing to ___, so it’s cheap and lame.” Again, it doesn’t matter if I won or lost due to Ring Out…it’s still an idiotic way for a match to end, imo. If I WON the round because of RO…then I wouldn’t really value that win in the same way I value a win where I KOed/killed the opponent. It’s a “well technically…” kind of win, which is boring and sad. There is absolutely nothing entertaining about it. I’d get more entertainment value from watching an insect take a dump.
–here’s another one…Superman Returns. This most recent Superman game got quite a bit of hate…perhaps too much, imo. It’s certainly a huge step up from the previous trash. It’s still a game I probably wouldn’t buy unless it’s 20 bucks or less…but it’s not necessarily on the same level of suck Superman 64 was…well, then again that doesn’t say much, since the average person considers that as one of the worst games ever. Still, I had some mild fun with the demo, and I’d get it at a cheap price. It’s at least fun to fly around the city and freeze things with the superbreath…it’s probably the only time it has been fun to control Superman and his powers in a video game. The old arcade sidescroller doesn’t count for much, as it was just a sidescrolling beatemup style game, and you didn’t really feel superpowerful. It was basically Double Dragon/FinalFight/Streets of Rage with flying scenes, and Superman thrown in there.
-I consider the first Dragon Warrior to be one of the worst games of all time. This was my first experience with turn-based “action”, and thus…it was the beginning of my deep seated hatred for that style of video game presentation. I thought the game was actually a joke the first time I played it.
Specs,
If ya dont like something then no one put a gun to your head and made you play them you know:rolleyes:
Metal Slug is better enjoyed as an Argade Game as it was originally meant to be played. and metal slug 3 is my favorite.
Castlevania symphony of the night is the best, and super castlevania is ok in my book, o and Rondo or Blood for PC Engine is great also.
i think you are mixing up real life with videogames…it being “entertaining”…for most people who play fighting games on a serious competative level, they play it because the of “mindgames” and strategies invovled, not because they want a cool ko…
ring outs adds another depth to strategy, special control/awareness…and it adds different baiting tactics…and for people who play seriously they have not problem with this because they do not compare it to like real life situations, it is another strategic…variable that has to be taken into consideration…

ps…relating to the this thread…VF is fucking amazing if you just think about it…lets just say VF4, cause i have not played VF5…this game has only 3 BUTTONS, a punch, kick, and block…it is like a fucking sidescrolling mashing game that has 3 buttons, and the level of depth and complexity that comes from these 3 buttons…is abosultely mind boggling if you ask me…i am very impressed…
The first NES zelda game, to me, was fucking wack. That Chipmunks games was the shit though.
I think you’re neglecting the fact that strategic does not necessarily equate to entertainment for everyone; especially not casual players. Ending a fight with a ring out is the equivalent of saying “Oh darn; you walked/fell/flew/ninja-vanished over there…you lose”.
It would be more strategic for me to wait until a traffic light indicate that walking is safe before I decide to proceed forward, but I can guarantee that a video of me getting ran the fuck over would have several thousand times the downloads.
Word. When I was seven this was the most frustrating game of all fucking time, I was constantly getting lost and not knowing what the hell to do, and then some stupidass spiders would rush me the fuck down RIGHT when I was about to get the heart thing that would raise my max HP. I was literally PIXELS away from it. I threw my controller at the screen (only time I ever did that) and never played that shit again.
I would give the Gameboy and SNES ones a try, but the original is garbage to me.
Oh, unpopular gaming opinion of mine? All metroid games are boring and bring the suck. Also GTA games are for stupid ADD kids. Ever watch someone play a GTA game? It’s going around punching whores and starting shit until the cops show up so you can shoot it out with them and escape, all in incredibly shitty looking graphics.
