When is a fighting game deemed "dead"

sorry i couldnt meet your posting standards

Ask those Marvel guys. .

o wait.

Good shit calling them shitty games when they’re not though, idiot. That’s the problem with the North American scene. If it isn’t Capcom or Namco, it’s easily deemed shit.

I bet you didn’t even learn how to play AH properly and just decided to call it shit because it’s the “cool thing to do on SRK”. Fucking retards.

When the majority stops giving a shit and probably never bring it up again or even compete for that matter, hell probably won’t even mention it in a nostalgic thread :confused:

It is essentially when no one is throwing tournaments for the game, and there’s no serious players for it. A scene is dying when serious players are dropping off and are not being replaced by new players.

Sure, there’s an online “scene” for Alpha 2, for example, but in the real world it’s pretty much dead. Even online, there’s no one who plays it seriously for money above all other games.

It doesn’t even necessarily mean there’s no new innovation in the game. Alpha 3’s been dead here for years, but it still gets played in Japan, and they’ve discovered all sorts of crazy shit over there for characters.

There’s also the question of local vs national scenes. Super Turbo may be dead here, for example, but there’s players off in parts of Cali, so it’s still alive there. And for big national tournaments it usually shows up.

I thought people got banned (or an infraction) for saying this shit. But anyways, A game is dead when the scene doesn’t like it anymore pretty much. Sometimes games get resurrected like 3s though.

holy shit :rofl::rofl:

You don’t even know why I think the games are shitty, why are you so mad ? My favorite fighting games aren’t by Capcom, nor do I give a shit what the general consensus (be it good or bad) from the SRK circlejerk on XX fighting game is.

Whatever happened to opinions? I guess the presence of “anything non capcom sucks” from the circlejerkers must be strong to make the lines between opinion and circlejerking so thin around here. I just didn’t feel those two games, at all. Calm down.

Who gives a fuck what you think? Just cause you think Melty Blood and Arcana Heart are shitty only shows how dumb you are.

The opinion of a single dumb fuck does not make a game shitty.

You do obviously, how retarded can you be? :rofl:

You saying anyone who thinks MB and AH are shitty are dumb fucks only shows how far up your anus you’ve shoved your dick and head. Stop reading forums if you’re so sentimental over a video game haha.

Yeah, except they’re “shitty games” that have scenes. I guess they’re not so shitty then. Good thing SRK isn’t the community because if it was, the scene would be seriously dead.

Completely missed the point =/
