Now of course u knew better than that…LOL! This is SRK afterall.
yea ur right…besides everyone knows marvel is better
no cuz if it has smash in the title it means that now is the time to unleash the smash hate unrelated to what the thread is about.
Wow, this thread was just asking for a flame war
Actually compared to Smash it does.
Wow, this thread is retarded, and more than for the thread starter’s idiotic “question”/“debate”.
I know this thread should just be ignored (unless it’s being closed), but I would just like to be humored:
How exactly is Marvel “random” at all?
I mean, I haven’t played it in (three or four) years, but the only–literally one–thing that I can think of that might actually qualify as “random” would be Ruby Heart’s worthless Barrel Super.
Other than that… 
That’s my point. So, I guess the question wasn’t so “idiotic” after all.
if you are talking about gameplay/tourney results, then marvel isnt that random at all but…
in terms of game engine… marvel is random as shit. ive seen hailstorm do 10% chip sometimes, and like 0.01% sometimes on an almost dead sent, ive gotten hit by my OWN sent-a assist before, sent unfly randomly runs out without warning, snapback/alpha counter glitches, if your assist gets hit by shockwave you cant block it sometimes, etc…
i know nothing about smash. besides that i would rather play/watch marvel.
TRUTH
Marvel has randomness, but not like Smash.
So your point was to ask purposely an ill-defined question even though you started the argument with your “friend”?
Okay…
Since you otherwise seem decent and competent, I’m just going to chalk this thread up as unintentional flamebait considering that half of the people responding are just bashing Smash. It would figure that ringopan would be an exception after I couldn’t think of anything (although out of all those, I think that only Hailstorm is “random” and even that has a method to its madness).
I’m somewhat interested though as to what you view as “random” since you seemed to think that you had a different view than other people…
But, yeah, Smash is far more “random”.
what is this method? i would like to inflict godly amounts of chip every time (and the answer is not mashing… sometimes mashing doesn’t do shit with a blocked hailstorm). also curious to how sent unfly is not random? unless i missed someone figuring out how long it lasts, or how many actions you get before it automatically runs out…
I voted Marvel. There’s just much more to do in Marvel and much more options over all. Smash is pretty random as well, not real fixed set to knock someone out, random move properties, and the like.
Both pretty random, keeps things fresh for me though.
Let’s be honest. Neither game is really fit for tourney play. It’s just that both games have big fan bases. One which is made up of all ages and one which is made of people who’ll fucking knife you if you beat them.
I never really played Sentinel even when I played–main team was Ruby Heart, Doom, and Captain Commando/Cable IIRC–and it’s been a while since I’ve played, but I do vaguely remember it being said that Unfly only lasts 10 real-time seconds. I’m not sure about the amount of actions being restricted, but I wouldn’t really be surprised.
As for Hailstorm, that is the closest thing to random in the game (I don’t know how I could forget that bitch Storm), but I’m pretty sure that the most random part of Hailstorm depends on height, which is why Sentinel (of all freaking people) seems to get “randomly” knocked down instantly half of the time if he’s on the opposite edge of the screen (or so I’ve noticed).
As for unblockable screen movers, IIRC, if your assist gets hit with them, you can only block them if you’re relatively close to your assist, otherwise you get Sent flying too. (You can kill me for the pun later.)
It’s basicaly another glitch, which this game is full of, but considering most, if not all, of them have been figured out at this point, they aren’t really “random”.
(Well, nothing really is, but that’s sort of besides the point.)
Damn, this thread kind of makes me to play Marvel again, but then I remember that it’s nothing but 6 characters, slews of people better than me and needless money matches. (That and what lamewadd said about its fanbase being made up of a lot of people who are sore losers who will “fight you”.)
Pass.
You got that right.
Let’s not go down this road again before it turns into a shitfest like last years Smash threads. Besides, both games are at Evo…
I remember the days when niggas used to say “hey quick stfu before SK closes the thread” all the time. =(
and you’re wearing the wrong AV. Join the darkside, my son. =p
