[Ragingnight]

on the real, SFxT can still be saved. Its totally up to Capcom to do it.

 

[Mr. Fix]

2/3? This keeps keeps getting better and better. Also damn, that was fray.

 

[Riposte]

They didn't take the game too seriously. Infiltration godlike in any game he touches.

Also...

Mike Ross carrying Combofiend, wat lol

on the real, SFxT can still be saved. Its totally up to Capcom to do it.

Recovery rolls = anti-hype

[joe2187]

this game is sooo bad

 

[AutumnAve]

God, this game looks awful. I'll get to play it next month in that 25th anniversary box set, lol.

 

[Amagon]

"Cum Brothers"

Oh those Stream Monsters

 

[laaame]

I failed you Mike "spirit bomb" Ross...

 

[ReiGun]

Mike Ross and Combofiend after the match:

(Yup. It was that free)

 

[kyored]

this should be a better match

 

[robot]

So much for wingin' it!

 

[Dance Inferno]

That haircut/sunglasses look is straight out of a 70's porno.

 

[lsslave]

After Mike Fraud Ross and CCCombofiend get blown off lets see if the Rog / Ortiz combo can do it

 

[Alucrid]

this is the first time i've ever watched sfxt and it has been pretty great so far

 

[Mr. Fix]

My Lords!

 

[LiK]

stop smiling Tokido, it scares me

 

[Dahbomb]

Mike Ross and Combofiend after the match:

(Yup. It was that free)

Lmao.. Krillin and yamcha combined tier of freedom.

 

[Omega]

I like combofiend but hate Ross.

Lets go Infiltration!

How can you hate Mike Boss?

I didn't even think that was possible.

 

[Perro]

this game is slow as fuck

 

[BaroqueSampson]

Not sure how I feel about this match.

 

[mollipen]

Hmm.. I'm just not liking how SFxT comes across tournament-wise. Having one character loss be round loss means that matches can end just SO quickly. By the time you start to get hyped for a match-up, it can already be over.

 

[shadoclone]

I don't get it, the stuff people commonly complain about isn't happening (except Mike's laming out) and people are still complaining.

 

[abstract alien]

I really do like this game a lot. I needs a few things, but I love how much of a fusion it is of the two styles.

 

[Belenos]

God, this game looks awful. I'll get to play it next month in that 25th anniversary box set, lol.

Hey! You're not a Junior anymore! Congratulations!

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

I hope they get this lagging shit fixed before UMVC3.

 

[number47]

ultra david hates neogaf. screw reddit

 

[kyored]

what the

 

[SolarPowered]

No it was because the stream restarted. It always happens. They'll get them back.

I've seen dozens of stream restarts and the viewer count usually returns to normal within a minute. I'm starting to think that over ten thousand people did actually bounce....

Not hating or anything. Still trying to make my way through Mahvel footage from earlier.

 

[Amagon]

Lets go Rog/Ortiz!

 

[KidA Seven]

Combofiend is a terrible teammate.

He didn't let Mike play then he raw tag in Mike. =(

That's because he couldn't get a hit on Infiltration. It would have been another raw tag if he got Mike Ross in. And we saw what happened with that in the last round. Either way, they were outplayed.

 

[Ferrio]

Holy shit a throw.

 

[MrDaravon]

Can someone explain to me as a complete fighting game newb why this game didn't take off like the others or why people don't seem to respect it as much?

Huw_Dawson posted this earlier in the thread, I'm just saving this to copy/paste every time this question is asked, it seems to come up often and this is a pretty good summation.

1) Most of the game's mechanics are at the very least poorly thought out (cross rush combos) and at the worst either useless or detrimental to the game (pandora, gems)
2) The game had significant bugs - various characters had infinites, Rolento had a ZA WARUDO game freezing glitch in one patch, Megaman could fly into space...
3) The game's balance is badly off. Much of the cast lacks a reliable anti-air, either normal or special. The top tier characters typically have amazing jump-in attacks that exploit this. It would take far too long (and admittedly far more experience with the cast than I have) to list all the balance problems. This is the main issue!
4) Wonky hitboxes. This ties into 3. Cross-ups are AMAZING.
5) The game encourages safe pressure strings. In SF4, getting hit with a standing light punch only leads into small amounts of damage and sometimes a knockdown - in SFxT it can be a third of one of your character's life. Result? Everyone blocks. All of the time. There's very little between BS mixup and safe pressure.
5) Due to the game's 2v2 nature combined with SF4 damage output (certain characters notwithstanding) you run into timeout after timeout.
6) The game is visually ugly and the music score is awful!

Also, PR disasters and DLC.

 

[LProtag]

Are they way behind on the schedule? I just got home and I'm trying to meet up with someone before UMvC3 starts.

Hey! You're not a Junior anymore! Congratulations!

Thanks dude! I want to play SFxT, just not expecting much. All these time outs, christ.
