Arcades are not just dead, they are decomposed into the fuel which we process to run our cars. If you’re in the US, you are going to be playing on consoles most likely and must import/mod your consoles to play games. Your other choices are just to continue playing MvC2 forever or quit fighting games all together.
Regardless of GG:AC being tested right now and it’s future release, it won’t change the fact that none of us will have the game for a long time in the US. The GG scene will keep playing Slash, and holding tournaments with Slash until a console release occures.
if you have your 5-6ppl fgt group you can always divide the amount and buy a system to play
atomiswave now is cheap and XI too (unless you always have a good ps2 port, swap magic and emule FTW) just buy it with a supergun and you can play the real game on your TV
i got my AW + kof neowave for 350 (about 400$ i think)
but also i have an mvs board with all kof in original MVS carts
i got all of this BY MYSELF with a crappy and low salary from my job in less than a year…
and you want to tell me that they don’t play new games since they’re not available?
just google or ebay and you can have at your home everything
welcome to the third millennium pal
my competitors here = 1 (my pal that still play with me even if he’s 29) and we get every good new game at least a month after they’re out
you with a better scene than mine can’t play new unavailable games?
like i said earlier…its not that its not CAPCOM…ITS JUST THAT PEOPLE THINK ITS A SHITTY GAME THAT YOU DONT WANT TO PLAY COMPETITIVELY!!! Me personally…i do think capcom is better at fighting games…i do like snk games…BUT…i do feel snk games move like its lagging…the animation is choppy compared to the smooth style capcom has…i admit snk has cool ass fighters…but if you ask any ‘‘Capcom fanboy’’ why he doesnt play snk he might have alot of reasons but i bet 1 of them will be that it has choppy movement. And on another level…I think (opinion)Capcom people are better at fighters than Snk…ill give you examples…MVC2…requires fast timing, quick reflexes. SF3rdstrike…thats the thinking mans fighting game. Like i said earlier snk is about on par with capcom…
Just imagine if you a skateborder and use your left foot to pedal then 10 years later try and switch to your right and pedal. Capcom and other fighters have different game engines…so its only natural people play what they feel comfortable at. Im trying to get into kof11 and GGslash but KOF i have no comp to play with and ggslash well…its fun but ill always pick capcom over it.
Capcom fans ridicule Guilty Gear fans like there’s no tomorrow.
It’s extremely petty / childish / stupid shit too. They never bash the actual gameplay / mechanics / system, they just go straight for the tired YOU GAYS ARE ANIME FAGZ WHO SMELL LIEK DIAPERZ AND R SO UGLY OMG Y R U ALIVE.
And what have you.
Don’t even get me started on the shit I get for loving Melty Blood.
I play practically everything, I don’t see what relevance watching anime has, save for it being something for other people to rag on for playing GG / MB, which again doesn’t make sense.
I don’t like Melty Blood because that game is fueled by funkachunkz, no lie.
“So, wait, I just threw a potted plant at that chick?”
Seriously though, why is this debate continuing? US arcades are dead, and they’re not about to pull a Geese any time soon. Our arcade here is an exception to that rule, and even then it’s pretty pitiful bcause the machines are ancient.
God, they’ve even got a JoJo’s cab! Too bad all the buttons are completely worn. :lp: only this round kthx no awpz
And SNK fans always cry about kof not being at evo when they dont show up in any significant numbers…it goes both ways man…why do snk players try to portray themselves as oppressed, black sheep ppl in the fighting game community? noone is holding them back but themselves.
