Oh. I didn't watch all of it. I swore I heard his name though, and the crazy dialogue reminded me of him. :wacko:
True enough. But eh, my point was more it's not something only one player can do and magically win the match with. You can also just completely play a game of keep-away with X-Factor and wait someone out that has it up. It's really not that amazing for anything more than a hyper-combo cancel, or for Sentinel\Dark Phoenix.
:<3:
Well, I've seen people win matches in MvC2 as well as 3 where they were down to one char, and their opponent had three. X-Factor CAN really help you there, but your opponent has it too, so.. yea.. They can just pop theirs if you miraculously turn the match around. I really don't see the big deal some people make of it.
Awh, that religion thread got deleted.
That was a good source of stupid. :(
Yeah. Exactly. It takes skill even with X-Factor to make a come-back like that, it's not a game changer all on its own. Even on someone like Dark Phoenix where it's terrifyingly powerful, you can literally kill her in ONE combo or hyper, she's paper. (Sentinel is a little harder, but you can literally just super-jump over his hypers. He's fairly slow a character too.)
Now the X-Files poster needs to be posted here.

I love the fighting game scene. Because half the scene hates the other half of the scene, and they can't stand the shit out of change.
"New school games require less work and are for scrubby players"
No, they require a different set of skills. I'm tired of seeing this shit.
I was playing a buddy of mine the other day on SCIII
And he was raping me with Talim i think, and i was playing asteroth.
Then i switched to Maxi and perfected him like 6 times in a row. (I'VE NEVER PLAYED MAXI BEFORE...)
SC3 Has huuuuuugeeeee Slow/Fast balance problems :-/
Why get the xfiles when you could get doctor who?
Unless you've won in an official tournament you can't brag. Winning in a South American tournament would be something to boast about :P.
I mean sure, they're slightly right. The technical gap has gotten smaller. (leading to such amazing things as me being able to do combos) But all it was was a barrier that kept people out of the scene. They're trying to stunt its growth. And fuck, now that we have some decent variation, we the rest of the scene catches shit from those bastards who play Street Fighter. And only street fighter. The game that generally has at least 4 characters per game that are minor variations off the same damn thing. And it's not a bad game, it's just so...static.
/super-minor rant over
An official Tournament at what?
SSFIV?
SFIV?
SCIII?
SCIV?
MvC2?
MvC3? :P
I mean, there are so many tournament fighting games, that it's hard to say who exactly can brag.
People like Justin Wong are awesome at MvC3, AND SSFIV, but there are people like Daigo that will destroy Justin at street fighter, but have never played MvC at a high level before.
WoW sux
They all suck

It's funny.. Because while WoW never has held my attention for longer than a month at a time, I can't deny that there's very little out there in the MMO market that has ever even come close to matching it, much less anything that's been technically better. (There are other games I've liked more than WoW, but that doesn't mean I can deny the superiority WoW has in many ways over them.)
