Yea I’ve played this before and it’s actually really fun. I like it a lot. Cool to see it getting an update. Been wanting to play it for a while because playing it online only has so much appeal. I don’t have anyone to play irl right now tho so will have to wait.
Yomi is an exceptional game (especially the version of it being kickstarter, updates and all)! Also, Puzzle Strike is exceptional too and plays like no other deck building game.
Whether Sirlin has rubbed you the wrong way at any point is besides any point about these games–they are excellent games and the works speak for themselves.
And feel free to look at my history, I’ve always been pretty honest here, though I don’t post much anymore.
This has been said over and over…But i do not understand the hate that Sirlin gets.
Did Sirlin shoot your dog or something? :bgrin:
I don’t understand the Sirlin hate either.
The Sirlin hate comes from people upset he made a better version of Super Turbo. Because it’s untouchable, apparently. No room for improvement there. It also comes from his very rightful dismissal of execution fetishism. Because all those 1-frame links are really so much better than chains that can end in varying ways, am I right? High five?
Sirlin’s disposition isn’t always favorable, I’ll admit, but how much has he done for the FGC? He’s helped with so many tournaments; that alone should, ideally, make people say “well I don’t like him but I least respect what he’s done.”
As for Yomi, it’s awesome and this Kickstarter deserves your support.
That seals it, Yomi is Dr B approved!
I don’t hate Sirlin and I don’t give a rat’s ass about Yomi.
I love Super Turbo and I love HDR.
The only thing I will say is: if HDR had been an arcade-perfect port of ST, Sirlin would have gotten a lot more respect.
But then it just would have been HD. Not HDR.
Exactly. If it’s a choice between a straight port or a remix, I’ll go with straight port.
But dude, we have enough releases of ST, it’s a great game why not have a new version?
A new version is fine. But the priority should have been on an arcade perfect port of ST.
Just in case the community doesn’t like the new changes (opinion was divided), they can always fall back on the original.
But it wasn’t perfect, it had HD backgrounds and fuzzy sprites (unlike MVC2).
the best thing sirlin did for fighting games was wear that snake shirt
That’s exactly what they did. HDR wasn’t meant to be an HD port of ST.
Sometimes I wonder why we insist on having “arcade perfect” ports to the point where even a game’s faults are replicated. ST has some dumb things in it that could be taken out without bringing down the quality of the game.
LOL! You guys are still arguing about how perfect a 6-year old port of ST was? In a thread about a Kickstarter for a card game? Classic…
On a more relevant note, I don’t play board/card games much. But I picked up a couple of Sirlin’s games a while back and they were pretty fun. So, it’s cool to see that the Kickstarter is doing well!
You should do more research on what kickstarter goals actually are!
For a large majority of kickstarters, if they only reach the goal they are a colossal failure
even more reason to not donate then if your money will be a waste even if the goal is met
You do realize that every bit helps. The more we support good, fair, competitive card games, the easier it is for them to get made.
The community can suck it though, I’m sure the opinion was split when ST came out but people just got used to it. Unless he seriously fucked it up which based on the divded opinion he didn’t.
But none of that was his fault, the executives at Capcom didn’t think a patch ST with updated graphics would be profitable enough to warrant it’s creation, despite SF2 become #1 most downloaded game on XBoxLive.
I liked STHDR. Never played Yomi.
