Since I got GGPO Ive stopped using the PS2 version. I dont have a ps3 so I cant play that one. Playing the game on my computer feels tons more like the arcade machine. But I dont play online, my internet is crappy.
You didn’t get yours?
where did you read that? sounds like hearsay BS
5 years from now, it will all be virtual reality. People will be hooked up in various suits, and it will feel like you are in a real fight. The suit will detect your stamina (health), how much force is behind your blows, hits that would break bones or hamper movement, etc. It will be just like fighting for real, except with no injury risk (other than maybe pulling a muscle or something).
Ironic that this thread is 5 years old…
On Supercade some guy said that he was trying the 0.040 beta version and there were actually just 3 people testing that version as viewers.
it was on a day where GGPO servers were shut down and Supercade was filled to the brim.
now I dont swear that all is true, but it sound plausible. besides, GGPO website isnt famous for its constant updates…
To be fair, with anything less than perfect netcode, UMvC3 would be pretty bad online.
That’ll happen when Capcom gets off its can and decides to take over console localization of its games again…
The companies they’ve hired to do console localization with game code have dropped the ball again and again when it comes to some basics and that mild irritation builds up when you see the same issues/deletions/censoring occurring again and again.
I’ve been noticing sound issues in the ports I’ve played on the PS3… Since I KEPT my Saturn, Dreamcast, and PS2 editions of some of these games, I was able to go back and confirm the following issues –
Marvel Vs Capcom 2 has definite sound dropout or missing audio quotes from characters; wouldn’t be surprised if this is the case with the Marvel Heroes collection (Marvel Superheroes, Marvel vs Capcom 1);
Vampire Resurrection (Japanese disc is what I own) has missing animations and audio from at least Demitri. They SHOULD be there since this technically THE Japanese CPS-2 game. Double-checked against the old Saturn import disc (Japanese version) and there is definitely missing audio (2-3 victory phrases?), sound effects (roaring flame win pose with audio), and animation of Demitri win poses. Very annoying… it’s like they based the port on the American NightWarriors/VH port done for the Saturn (US release).
I bought the Japanese release specifically to avoid the “edit” issues! GRrrrrrrr…
[Historical Note: When the second Darkstalkers game, NightWarriors/Vampire Hunter, was being prepped for American release, there were animations and audio cut out for the US release to make it less “cute”. The biggest cuts were the snowmen that come onscreen occasionally when Sasquatch wins a round, a victory phrase from Morrigan as she floats up on a cushion of bats, and a sound effect or two from Demitri. The other major changes are the names of 4 characters: Zabel = Lord Raptor, Aulbath = Rikuo, Phobos = Huitzil, and Lei Lei = Hsienko. You know Capcom can’t localize a fighting game for the West without changing the names of at least 3 original characters!]
Unless you’ve played the games a million times like I have, you won’t notice it so much but it does annoy me. Also didn’t care for the fact that the neat CPS-2 opening cinematics for the Darkstalkers games were cut out, too. The presentation on the PS3/360 is missing something without those animations. So very glad I kept the Saturn and PS2 Darkstalkers collections after all! The Saturn NightWarriors release (both Japanese and American) had the neat option of playing either the original DS1 or DS2 game openings as well as mixing backgrounds and audio tracks. You just don’t get those extras, either, on those HD/“upscale” releases.
5 years from now… let me put on my future cap.
In five years, Capcom will have been bought out merged with Konami (or Activision since their business philsophies are strangely identical). Anime will rule Fighting Game Community thanks to Guilty Gear Xrd, yet it won’t do the same numbers as Street Fighter 4 because “LOL too anime.” Free-To-Play will become standard, and Combo Breakers will be implemented in all games because nobody likes One-Player fighters. This will all accumulate into a second dark age and nobody will make fighters because they are no longer profitable (except for SNKP because they will have still not learned how to make any other kind of game. On the bright side, King of Fighters XVIII will be pretty good).
But if we’re lucky, shortly after those five years Capcom will finally make Street Fighter 5, and eventually Marvel vs. Capcom 4… and all will be good again. And then we will complain how Easy Mode those two games are and go on about how hardcore Street Fighter 4 and Marvel vs. Capcom 3 were.
At least one thing will remain the same… Tekken X Street Fighter will still be 3% complete.
In 5 years, people will be too busy with their sex robots to play any video games.
It will be all over the place, like it is now. As there are many different communities.
Capcom has no money. They want Ultra SFIV to be balanced.
Fighting games are slowly coming to steam.
Steambox doesn’t exist yet and it looks like an awful idea.
Arcades are dead forever, xbone looks like poo, backwards compatibility for arcade sticks for next gen is pretty much confirmed as no (but your sticks still work on pc).
SNK put out a game on PC with ok netcode. Capcom went on record saying they don’t know people at SNK anymore so CvS3 isn’t likely.
Arc System Works sold BBCP’s first shipment incredibly quickly, possible golden age for air-dashers?
Killer Instinict is coming out on a dead console, but this is the first time a console has launched with an arcade stick for a six button fighter at launch.
Tekken will possibly come to steam in the future.
Namco is making a bunch of downloadable SC games, I’m pessimistic but I think most people are optimistic about how they’ll be.
SC6 will probably be out soon.
The next smash could be good (probably won’t be).
Fighting games on mobile platforms don’t really exist right now.
Ps3/Ps4 is basically the only home for anime fighters.
PCs are horrible to run tournies on.
Evo is on 360s this year.
People are getting mad over eventhubs drama (don’t get mad, instead practice your combos and get good).
MvC2 on GGPO or fucc da world
Where’s the real movie at?
I second, third and forth that motion. Also my PS3’s been dead since Evo so I haven’t been able to grind on MvC2 on PSN with y’all, shit needs GGPO or Steam greenlight, damnit.
Hopefully CvS3 will be out by then
Just naomi on ggpo for that matter 
My predfiction: fgc will still be a hobby game with no cash to grab for the biig players that devote their lives to their game. The problem is there isn’t a single game big enough to grow the community. Even SF keeps changing every few years. Once the fgc finaully moves over to PC something will be possible. Until then the fgc will continue_ to be something embarrassed about. Lately I’ve seen a pattern of people lateral to online pc games like LoL and I expect this trend to continue.
With the great recession upon us, I also expect evo attendance to increase as people will continue to funnel their meagre savings on cheap entertainment like movies and videogames. If there’s anything that is likely to pull young people to videogames it’s a stagnant economy with little opportunity.
Ahahaha.
Basing the worth a community in its numbers, something guaranteed to peak and diminish with time, instead of gauging it by how it competes or what it accomplishes unto itself.
Ahaha
You laugh, but it’s a valid concern. There are lots of people who don’t want to bother with a game that only has a few hundred or less players in it. And even less people want to meet up with strangers in person just to play, when they can play other genres and find loads of players. I don’t think it’s something to be embarrassed about, but others do.
I disagree about SF though. Yes, the game does keep changing, but it’s not like whichever version people prefer has disappeared from the face of the earth. Look at Smash. The competitive fans really just play Melee, even though a new version came out, and some of those fans have even modded Brawl to play more like melee.
It’s because brawl is poo and smashers are the only part of the FGC that’s isolated enough to remain strong. People who get into 3D are similar but 2D fans have so much drama about anime, airdashing, mahvel, streetfighter. 2D has poverty which pulls apart the FGC because people hate games like Injustice and DoA, and some people only play those games.
Also I rather not have fighting games go esports because esports is dying. League of Legends and Blizzard have teamed up to choke out SC2 esports, trying to burn it from the grassroots up. Imagine if capcom did what blizzard did and there was a weekly SF4 tourney and if you wanted to stream anything SF4 related on the weekend you had to pay a bunch of money to capcom AND you get poor viewer numbers because everyone is watching the capcom weekly.
Also, I don’t think the fighting games changing is what keeps the community from expanding, people don’t like playing fighting games because they’re hard. People don’t want to learn execution or combos or footsies or how to punish, people want to pickup a game and get told that they’re good. Fighting games spit at you until you use google to figure out how to play them.
