I would have never thought of your posts as vulgar. (No troll)

Ignoring all the people who rip on the series for the cheesy VA and sound design, the control scheme, the simplification that's been cropping up since 4 and for not being more like Tekken, you're absolutely right. It's a shame that said people tend to make up 50% of the paltry number of viewers who watch VF streams nowadays. Hell, I'll take fighting game hipsters over empty chairs - chairs don't mash back.
We're not really going to have a 'hipster hunt' again, are we? Can't we just acknowledge that there are people who run their mouths about stuff they know nothing about, and leave it at that?
Son of a gosh-darned sassaffras root! Swerved again!
I don't know man, GG is a strange case. Jump from X to XX was big but too many updates afterwards(also Isuka) left a sour taste in many of us(and in our pockets). It arguably made the game relevant for more time. I, for one, didn't even get into accent core altho I must say that it was also for some real life stuff but I felt burned out on so many updates and playing keep up with the changes. On topic: this GG is not a re-release, it's an update, so that spices things up(not by much tho). I was counting on BB guys to go back/start with GG but with Persona already here that makes it harder. I wish people enjoy both and play both instead of just choosing one but heh, FGC hipsters. Anyway, it'll be a very interesting year!
/end pointless paragraph
I think it's both.
<boring story time>
Back in 2002 I was a HUGE marvel head, like I was SO into the crack it wasn't funny, I almost completely quit all other games, including 3S. Then KOF2002 came. Our community here(lima, peru) got smaller and most people was playing 2002. The last KOF I played was 99(and I didn't liked it) so the thing that attracted me at first wasn't that it was a good or bad game(altho it looked more like 98), it was that there was LOTS more competition there and that you could get a challenge ANYTIME, instead of a (rare)random guy waiting for you to kill Abyss in MvC2 to try to learn the game if it wasn't friday/saturday night. It was only after I started playing KOF2K2 that I liked the game and the mahvel addiction came down a few notches(and I kept playing other games). Of course, nowadays online has changed this quite a bit(and it's great for some people), but IMHO still the offline heart and feeling > online. Gotta be thankful for streams now that I can't play a thing!
</boring story time>
TL;DR version: You can play the games you like, but without competition and a community your interest will fade after beating the AI for the Nth time.
O yea, I think CVS2 is boring as hell and alpha 3 shits all over it. Get at me people!
I'm ok with your post, I like both games. I don't really know why people that play diffferent games can't get along. It's one thing to dislike one game, it's another to shit on a game to make a point about how better "your game" is.
PS: sorry for the rants but it's been a while since I posted more than a sentence

Well I'm new to GAF eventually this nice shit going to turn me weak sauce. Plus it's not like I'm attacking anyone directly. The old me totally would have (trust me I really wanted to!).
I'm just sick of this community crying over stupid shit. If people want their scene to grow they can take the positive route to promote it (which a lot of people do). For example the Super Arcade P4A tournament last night.
However there is always that one idiot that cries "BLAH BLAH BLAH no one plays the game I want, everyone else is an idiot because they don't play the game that I like." And this shit works both ways. Capcom players making fun of other games for being stupid, anime etc.. and other games making fun of capcom players saying shit like Johnny Rage or whatever the hell his name was.
Give me a break...

lol....it's looking like a SRK thread up in here lol. (Not Tech Talk or Character forum threads tho)

That's why I ran from SRK! GAF is so much better and lets keep it that way.
Thing is, FGC hipsters don't play the games they "adore". They just talk about them. And it's not about a "hipster hunt", it's about doing a proactive thing, i.e. play.

Biggest issue is all the people who love VS, MotW, or VF yet if you go to GGPO, the rooms are always filled with the same 10 people. Those 3 games are the SRK favorites but no one will play them.
Doesn't matter cause RB2 is still the best fighting game SNK has put out prior to the new gen games released!
Best games of this gen:
1) Final Showdown
2) AH3
3) KoFXIII
Fuck all that noise.

I love watching and talking about marvel, but I don't enjoy playing it all that much. I don't live anywhere near a city with a tournament scene.
There are lots of games like that.
I don't think I am a hipster or a bad person.
I've been retired for a while so I would be on the same boat, but for context, please read my original post HERE for my definition of FGC hipster.

I don't know what others MVC2 layout is, but mine is:
L-H-A1
M-S-A2
I tried the default, but it just felt to uncomfortable for me. My hands were so used to having the assists at the ends. Didn't feel like putting in the time to adjust to the new layout. God bless consoles and button configs!
Enzo:
How is one handicapping themselves if they use the MVC2 layout? What would I be missing out on?
On a lighter night, I got Tekken Hybrid for $10. Playing dat TTT2 baby!
That goes for a lot of us.Not on my off days
Gods Garden 6 will have Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code as their event this time.
For a new player getting into MvC3, the default layout is so more intuitive IMO than adjusting to an adapted layout for a previous game with a completely different control scheme.

Here's my issue with the term: if it's anything like how the word "hipster" itself is used, people are going to start throwing it around at anyone that gets on their nerves, which will just stifle discussion across the board. (And please, please don't use this as a launching point for the hipster debate, guys; we can't afford to make the thread jackknife all the way through.)
Yeah, it's a little annoying that people idolize some games but never actually pick them up. I play a bunch of dead games, and after fighting the same 4-6 people month in and month out I get a little irked when people praise the game but then say "thanks but no thanks, I'll just watch". But the truth of the matter is that some people do prefer watching over playing, just as you mentioned in your original post - and it's too hard to separate them from the trolls to make it worth calling out the latter. And even if you could, it's not like they're going to stop talking trash about the popular stuff, or start playing the games they gush over, out of shame.
I just don't want the "FGC hipster" to be a catch-all boogyman when it comes to making criticisms of a game, talking about niche stuff, discussing hype and the aftermath of hype, etc. I don't know how to put it any better than that.
That being said, I don't really want to keep talking much about it. I already fell for Chavelo's trap, and sardonicisms are a part of Chavelo's game.
You can vote up to 5 times, correct?
People play what they want to play. Not because "pro's" are playing it. I love watching high level Marvel and SFIV but I'm terrible at both games.
I don't really care if the FGC rejects P4A because of it's mash AAAAAA combo strings and unblockables. I'll still play it because it's fun.

Ponpo, is this for the Melty Blood tourney or the SF 25th Anniversary thing? I can't really tell what's what on that page.
It's for the MB God's Garden tournament.

SRK tech talk is one of the greatest places on the internet. And the buy/sell/trade forum is great for deals every now and then.
I just want to make sure people still go there for the important things, and should ignore about 90% of it.

Well, to be fair all his stuff on 09ers and stuff has been describing what's been going on on SRK and the history behind the term more than telling us we're '09ers and our opinions should not be considered. Which is pretty equivalent to calling someone a junior here (which is incredibly stupid, too).

Pro-tip: When looking to find out about and find people to play games you like with or events with said games go to sites for said games. SRK is a very heavy favored capcom fighter site. Following mvc3 players and sf4 players and wondering why they don't play something you like is silly.

If you want to find other Tekken players in NYC, try Tekken Zaibatsu.

DID SOMEBODY SAY DRAAAAAMA?
WELL...
Maybe most people play Capcom games since those are the ones they find most fun. It doesn't hurt that they hit the jackpot with character design in their fighters. Being familiar with a fighter and it's characters is a big selling point and is why MK and Tekken sell very well even if their NA tournament community is smaller. As much as I love the genre, I'll often gravitate towards the games that both rl and online friends want to play. It's a lot easier to sell friends on games with characters they recognize.
why does georgia excel at tekken over ny?
