The only heresy here are the ones who deny SF5 being a better game than 4.
Most of us deny Satan.
Empirically, even.
Jehovah may be cunt, tooā¦ but he is a better made one.
And he was first.
Or fourth, as was.
Satan Fāer 5 canāt even plead its place.
So your speaking of the one you are trying to summon? Mr Fuck Crapcom himself, Po Pimpelus
Next thing, Pertho is gonna say MVCI was better than MVC3, ass is better than pussy, and shit outclasses both applebutter AND Shinola.
Canāt get a girl pregnant with Ass Sex.
MvC I was the bomb
and Shinola, the shoe polish that went defunk?
So your taste cancer has metastasized all the way to your brain.
Neato.
Iām sorry for you loss.
Street Fighter 5 is rancid pig shit.
Iād rather play Street Fighter 1ā¦ without the frustration therapy 2 button layout.

But as a Marvel game, Infinite is actually better than 3. Only the presentation and the lack of X-Men bring it down, but in terms of pure gameplay, this was the most open the series has been since MvC2.
Being better than 3 isnāt an accomplishment.
Also a lot of people hated the gameplay of infinite as well.
So likeā¦
You get me.
Can I be Tina Fey? I donāt want to be Amy Pohler because even though I know theyāre divorced now I want nothing to do with Will Arnett
Sure thing.
I just superimpose Adam Scott, and call it a day.
A lot of people hated on how 2 (aka the GOAT) played as well back in the day. It was really only after awhile (and after we moved beyond the Blackheart/Doom/Iceman/Cable/etc. fill the screen with shit meta) that people, even non-Marvel players, got really hype for the game. And even then, not many people outside of guys like Mike_Z fully understood all the small systems built into the game that make it work - systems of which quite a few skipped Marvel 3 but made it back into Infinite.
Po likes Capcom once again. Guess the new RE2 and some other game got him lovinā them.
After seeing that Enter the Gungeon Farewell to Arms trailerā¦
Devolver Digital is killing it right now.
Thatās fine. It doesnāt mean those mechanics or subsystems were implemented well or to the potential people wanted from them. The overall presentation was boring, underwhelming, uninteresting and a mess. From blatant mascot roster for main stream appeal, omitted several key characters the vs series is known for, Disneyās constant meddling and micromanaging, to the battle direction of the game (the infinity stone system was extremely dumb among a lot of other battle direction choices.) it was all pretty much universally panned from jump.
A lot of people (but clearly not even close to enough) people still gave it a chance and a lot of people were paid to promote or āStanā for it like Yipes and Justin but people saw through that bullshit with the quickness once they actually saw or played the game.
Low turns outs left and right, constant negative feed back, it being treated as a āgame as a serviceā title pissed people off to the point they canceled all DLC plans after Panther dropped (also due to abysmal sales)
I mean, there was the infinity gauntlet challenge or whatever but almost no one showed up for that. It not even being feature at evo let alone the Capcom cup.
It was dead from jump. They tried to ride the wave of momentum they was made with MvC2, the new blood and decent sales they gathered from MvC3 and the general popularity of the āVs.ā brand. It failed fucking miserably. I mean fuck it was so bad Combofiend was basically ousted by Capcom. He said it was his decision but I donāt believe that for a second.
As for mvc2 players like Rowtron, Sanford, Yipes and Justin destroyed and tore down the meta and rebuilt it in their vision and everyone pretty much ran with it because it made it a much more interesting game. Were team santhrax and Sent/Storm/Cyke dumb? At first yeah. But the Meta evolved once again and forced a change in how those teams were played. Thatās what drew people to marvel. Even with one character swap the team and match ups were WILDLY different.
No match was the same. The risks were always high. It was be god like or go home. The skill ceiling for that game is the highest Iāve ever seen or been apart of.
I played for YEARS against people all over my state (Washington, one of the stomping grounds of OG mvc2) and eventually the country and Iād never even get close to catching up with them. Theyād teach me shit, theyād destroy me, teach me more shit, if still get destroy. Because I wasnāt applying it right due to the mass difference in skill.
I think the collector is lame, but Reptile became the new vessel/reincarnation of the Dragon King Onaga and walked past the joint projectiles of Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, and Raiden as if they were water.
Such beautiful set pieces, character designs and enemy designs only for your playable avatar to look likeā¦that. It also looks like a Metroidvania which is also a no go for me.
Some design choices and art directions in games I just donāt understand.
