When it comes to Smash I have no doubt Lil' Mac is the first character I'll try to play.

I remember when I was 28, those were the days.

Happy birthday Q!

I'm surprised sometimes by how old gaf members are.

Thankfully I don't look old

Yeah, you didn't look 28. I'm older than you, and people think I look young. Good genes I guess?

Lucky devils. I personally feel like my body ages too fast, even though I just became 24 last month :(

I'd take that as a compliment. You don't know what it's like.

Some good Tizoc footage in there tho if you skip to his matches :p
...but yeah overall Big Bird is the weakest character in the game followed by Rock last I checked.

Don't follow SNK games much so I'm surprised Rock is bad.

What am I supposed to be looking at?

I'm going to be totally honest with you: I don't understand the point of this post. Not trying to be a dick. I read it a few times, and I'm totally missing the crux. Could you reiterate it more succinctly, please?
Short version: its already a problem that people stick to games with more competition. I think we should've moved on from SF4 being the main game at major tournaments, and think there's a good chance Capcom's next fighting game won't replace SF4 as the main game. Something should've replaced it by now, and I'm having trouble seeing what could manage to do it.

SF5 or some other game.

SF5 will replace SF4, this isn't really hard to see I don't know why you're having problems envisioning it.

I'm surprised by how many people have responded that they "close the stream" in response to games with long combos

Those sorts of threads, for better or worse, are a good look into how the majority of people who do or could play/buy fighting games think. We gotta "hold dat L" *shrug*

Because most people in threads like that are casuals, more than fighting game fans buy fighting games as weird as that seems.


Also I feel like shit and want someone to take a shotgun to the side of my face *not really*

Yup. Not sure what CPS2 was rambling on about, but its not hard to figure out Street Fighter will always be the main event.

The period where SFxT was released in 2012 and Norcal Regionals 2012, SF4 was waning. I mean, I remember Dieminion tweeting that people should not give up SF4 for SFxT because it's still a game worth playing. Heh, it's hilarious given how things have turned out. Eventually many of the people who were ready to jump ship and were sick of SF4, switched back to the new AE2012 patch. At the time people weren't sure if the new version of SF4 was going to be good or not. So SF4 continued not because of dedication or love, but more to settle with the lesser of two evils.

I guess what I'm trying to say is SF4 is no Melee. Don't worry about it.

Thing is that if it isn't combos its something tangentially different. They can't do Hadouken's. Gotta remember stuff (even for simpler 2D fighters), etc.

Most of these people just don't like fighting games and have to find something in particular for whatever reason to justify it.

They always bring up the old fighting games like street fighter 2 and older kofs as examples. Yea they didn't have very long combos but the amount of damage one can do with those short combos then cross you up to death is just as fast as those long combos they complain about.
