I’m from SoCal and I go to all the local arcades down here, Regency, AI, Super Arcade, Camelot, Family Fun (Which I call NASA because they do the craziest things there) and in all of those places they mainly play Marvel VS Capcom 2 and Third Strike. Both games have been out for almost ten years and people are still playing them competitively. Its funny how the younger generation is picking up third strike (This game came out when I was 19 and now I’m playing people who are 19).
As for Capcom VS SNK 2, no one plays it anymore. To me I thought, like Marvel and Third Strike, it would have lasting power. But I guess not. I mean its a very technical game and its fun. Capcom put so much thought into this game and now its being ignored. So why do you think it doesn’t have that lasting power like the other two games?
On a side note why does no one play Alpha 3 anymore either? When that game first came out it was so popular.
And also why did no one catch on to Vampire Savior in the US? Is it like Virtua Fighter which is only popular in Japan?
For CVS 2 players out there, is p groove a dominate groove?
Still my favorite fighter.:tup: Rather play this than 3rd strike since it has more characters and the speed is a bit higher. The only problem is that tournaments take too long.
It’s only slow since it’s almost like watching 3 third strike matches back 2 back. Not really the games fault, though. A lot of people still play it, in 2 days they’re going to have a regional tourney with it here in Houston.
Not to mention very poke oriented and from what i’ve seen it’s the CC’s which turn alot of ppl off including me to some extent. But when i see expert level play like evoworlds07 the gamelooks hella fast and exciting, yeah it’s kinda slow if ur not playing at the highest level but IMO it’s a great game just as good as 3S or marvel though i do like those 2 games much better.
