Best Fighting Game Except Soul Calibur

[LP]

Remember when people, especially people who didn't play those games in tournaments, just stayed at home and mashed it out with their friends, having fun, instead of going on the Internet and over-analyzing every faucet of gameplay just to stay home, mash it out with their friends, and be angry? Yeah, I miss those days.

P.S. That was not aimed at anyone, but, if you were offended in the slightest, perhaps you should check yourself. ^_^

LP, you just nailed the EXACT reason why i quit playing MvC3 after 3 days. i remember when all of my friends were hype to play tekken and calibur, and how many great times we had playing them for hours on end, like every day. then, one day, i started looking shit up online, going to lacal tournaments, and learning frames.

within 6 months none of my friends would play me anymore. they would even stop playing when i showed up. :(

after MvC3 came out some of my friends came over and we had a blast scrub mashing in it. i realized that if i learn the game they will no longer have fun playing me and i will be trading real face to face gaming time with my friends for frustrating, laggy, nerd time with my internet friends, and i am not willing to make that trade.

Yeah I know about Melty, never played it(a bit late, not to mention I got other fighters on my plate so most likely won't). But I wouldn't mind giving UI a try. Following it for sure.

It's impossible to describe an entire game here, but if I were to draw analogies, I'd say SF4 = ping pong, MvC3 = hockey + football in a minefield, whereas SC4 = joust on american gladiators.

Adding this to my sig whether you like it or not.

Awesome.

Because I get that SF4 has combos, but once you learn them what else does it bring to the table.

Old vid, but watch this and you'll see why SF4 is not really about combos:

Someone ought to do a move-by-move commentary on what's going on.
