I dunno why people were expecting Capcom numbers for this when no other Super Smash Bros tournament was close.
Those numbers are pretty damn good though.

What people?
...? Who was expecting a thousand?

Yeah, higher than I expected
Absolutely, especially for a 12 year old game; but after the fundraiser, some expectations' got a little out of control.
I think some Super Smash Bros podcast that had Mr. Wizard on it after the fundraiser.
And I think some people in the thread were expecting it to rival Capcom games.
I think it will not beat only the number of entrants for SFIV, UMvC3 and Injustice
They were living in the hype, of course expectations at that hour are going to be absolutely silly. Why would you take them serious? Lol.
It's just like people who jokingly hype themselves up for any Nintendo Direct (though on a smaller scale). The expectations reeled back in way later.
Either way, the community itself is really blown away anyway.

SCV didn't feel as bad as Vanilla Mahvel or SFxT to me.
There was some dude who said between 400 and 900 people during the breast cancer research drive.

Raoh and Mitsuru are the two best characters ASW's ever made.

You know what? This game actually looks cool, but I can't find it anywhere.
According to WikiPedia, it has a PC version, do you know if it's the same version as the arcade one or completely different?

Speaking of Raoh, I really wish the HnK port for PS2 came out in the states. If the PS2 wasn't locked I'd import it. Yeah I know you can get ways around that but I'm too lazy.

That's a very low bar, especially since VF and Tekken do a better job at balancing -I use the worst char in VF, and I feel like I can win with him against anyone.
SC trying to play someone like Viola/A-Pat/Algol with a non-top tier feels suicidal.
Local game shop/arcade has the game, it's a 2nd-rate Arc fighter that isn't all that special unless you're a fan of Hokuto.

Game must have changed for the worst through the patching process.
Alrighty then.
It's one of the hypest and manliest games on the planet.
And it also makes Marvel 3 look fair and balanced in comparison.
yeah, agreed on all that. and yeah, we all got beta'd
August 2012 would be good because they could spend the time fixing fundamental issues on the main version and nerfing Vergil while balancing the DLC chars before release.

The only HnK game I've seen in a US arcade is the one where you punch the things on the side of the machine.

I think US only got the cabinet
This is the wiki for the Arc System Works version:

There seems to be another HNK fighting game with a PC version, which looks super ghetto, you can find it on youtube. I won't post the link since it contains a download link and appears to be the only vid of the game on the site. Just search "hokuto no ken PC"

The HnK PC game might be a collection of MUGEN characters.
SCV's main issue isn't balance, it's ring outs, 50/50 throws, the meter mechanic, apocalyptically bad character designs and a somewhat poisonous community.
Although you can hardly call characters like Natsu fair and balanced.

What was the excuse for leaving out something as simple as being able to kick people out of lobbies, then?

fuckin' called it, man
Lobbies are lame and you shouldn't play in them. Also you shouldn't lose to people named "supercmpunk". What a dweeb name!

Whut, 50/50 throws and Rings out are like a staple of SCV. Always have been. Actually, Ring Outs feel like they don't even matter in SCV anymore, at least to me. Throw system is the same as always, it's not a 2D fighter so.
The Speed of Light™ netcode we've developed is only further enhanced with more people within your lobbies!

This EVO's going to be the fucking best.

A beef I have with MvC3/UMvC3 that I don't think I'll get over is defeating Galactus.
"I'll squash you like the bug that you are!"
Oh yeah? Bring it! Do something! Add another layer to the fight! Don't die, you bastard!
Galactus is certainly one of the easier bosses I've ever played in a fighting game. I don't even think I beat the final boss of MvC2, and I was rather surprised I didn't destroy my XBox after finishing Dead or Alive 3...

Baiken seems to have some interesting changes to her moves in +R. I really want to try them out but it's disheartening to think that the patch is nowhere in sight.

HnK is like a 1v1 Marvel 3 if everyone had multiple x-factor cancels, there was no hitstun decay and you could parry attacks.
Pretty much every game is just lightning fast box dashes and tick throws into infinite combos that involve stabbing your feet and punching you in the dick. It's the original Dive Kick.
Pick Cable and press FP a bunch of times.

speaking of bosses... God I hate SNK bosses. KOF98 Rugal and I forgot which year but the boss with the feather coat thing. Shit was infuriating as fuck.
All the vs series boss were pretty easy. Hardest had to be cyber akuma.

S-Kill said that it was discussed internally, and they decided not to include the feature because are worried about abuse (kicking people out who beat you, etc.). Obviously, that's the wrong way to think about it, but they did think about it.

I just wanna say, this is the worst thread title in several months. I don't know who's to blame for it, so I'm just gonna blame Beef.
There's still an active Japanese player base for the game with ranked matches and player matches. Getting a ranked game can be sometimes a hit or miss since people don't like to play matches with red bars.

They earned that name, after nickle and diming with RE:5 and then releasing Gold Edition, RE6.. and taking MH away from the PS Family

One of my favorite features of HnK is that there's a certain number of frames delay before you can switch from low to high block and vice-versa. So all the super quick mixups are even more fucked up than they look.

Final Boss in MvC2 was hella easy.
Mash your combo until he starts charging then jump over him before does it and block is other attacks in his first form.
If you have a decent projectile, spam that against the second form and just watch the timing of his attacks and avoid super jump bubbles.
3rd form, beat him until he disappears the ground, block the ground attack, beat him up, he'll retreat or do his splash attack, block that and then beat him up. If you're feeling feisty, beat up the orb when the goop monster is away. Or if you're cable AHVB, lol.

The best way to beat forms 1 and 3 of the MvC2 final boss was to just pick Iceman. His hyper did huge damage to them.

I don't think any of the bosses in Marvel fighters were ever all that hard. Maybe CoTA Mags, but that's about it.
This is why I lurk the weekly thread, love this.
Because it sure isn't for the marvel shop talk.

Yeah my friends and I were laughing at that. We were all "try squashing up why don't y- oh wait you can't, because you're dead"
And yeah Galactus was easy as hell. Now Onslaught on the other hand... That guy's an asshole.
I'll keep that in mind and try getting in some random matches, and hopefully some people won't quit because of ping
After seeing it at SGC for the Iron Man finals (specifically Chad vs Filthie Rich before they got the final 4 underway, that game ending combo was hype) I'd like to see more of the game.
yeah, that line from him after you win is a little weird. he's dead already, it's time to #packitup
I should play H+H mode more. Rainbow Mode UMVC3 should be fun, too bad there's no local multiplay. Could've been sweet for side-tournies. Random card select tournies. Thanks, capcom.
