The Illora Out: No. Seriously. Get out.

[Lee]

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

I like the fact that you don't know who is going to win a SF match the moment the game starts .

Once watched a Daigo game where he slipped up and was at 1% health, came back from that game, and then proceeded to perfect the next two matches.

They all suck

An official Tournament at what?

SSFIV?
SFIV?
SCIII?
SCIV?
MvC2?
MvC3?

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.

Because he doesn't play the game at all, durr. Daigo is one of those technical players who doesn't really like fast games. He used to play Guilty Gear back in like 06' for a bit (and was the shit at it), but he stopped because he felt the game was too fast for him.

Freelancer kills WoW

Name an MMO that has been consistently better than WoW.

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.)

[Wyrm]

Hilariously, SC4 is plays extremely well, even the slow characters. BUT ONLY FRANCE REALLY LIKES/PLAYS THE GAME.

I actually played it for the first time the other day, and was dissapointed. Maybe it was my lack of experience with that specific one, but i couldnt do shit. whereas with II or III, well, i raype are they still having tournaments for III?

That's a lot of games if you're paying attention.

The same match everyone who's into the fighting game scene has seen? Yeah, pretty cool.

[Krisan Thyme]

Very few games fall out of the tournament scene, unless they're outright terrible. People still play SFII in the tourney's for cripes sake.

I'm not into the fighting scene, i guess that's why the slower SF is something i like.

And that's the problem.

WoW gets tons of hate, but there isn't anything better out there

Hmmm...now to find one close to me...........


All this talk of SC is making me want to play Soul Blade i DLd it a few days ago but couldnt get it to work

I don't see why WoW is so hated by a lot of people.. It did a LOT of things right. Far more right than wrong, anyway.. I just don't care for it too much personally. The game is devoid of atmosphere in my opinion, and the WC story feels as though it lost all meaning. It's just not my cup of tea.. I prefer some other games as a result, but those have major problems and.. yea, they could learn a lot from WoW.

It's a pretty crappy situation to be sure..

Bragging about the game you win a tournament for obviously .

They do regularly, actually. SFII is a special case, partly because Capcom won't stop shilling it, EVO won't drop it (seriously), and it's like the thing that no-one forgets made the mark.

But how often do you see a World Heroes Perfect Tourney? Or a Darkstalkers Tourney? Outside of Japan, I mean. They still happen, it's just rare as fuck.

[Jazzmarazz]

None of those games are for me.
Guess Ill crawl back into my little cave...
