All arcades have #Reload so vanilla GGXX is pretty worthless. Besides it's not that buggy, I watch top players all the time at that game and see nobody abusing shit (although Masaka and Valgar could probably identify things better than I can).

Street Fighter 3... and the animation looked really weak.
Because they are wacky. Especially some of their super animations. It's like a whole bunch of Dans being wacky all over the place. Doesn't mean it's bad.Quote:
why do people ALWAYS have to call Darkstalkers games "goofy"? Why why WHY?
I enjoy Mark of the Wolves a lot more than any GG game I've spent time on. I think the list is surprisingly good.Quote:
Putting MOTW there is just really ignorant.
While I agree with that, if you read the article, they plainly state that they're throwing "nostalgia," "impact" and all that out the window... their list is of the best playing and best looking games around.Quote:
SSF2X
Which, I guess, gives them more of a reason to include GG. But I agree with their decisions, and would rank all the listed games above GG.
I'd like to add that the previous statement was my opinion, which will not be swayed by any statements to the contrary, even if they are corroborated by quotes and hearsay of other "top" and "ranked" players.
SSF2X still gets rinsed by players today and it really is the perfect technical fighter. It's like speed chess, you think on your feet and it aint combo dependant. My Honda is very good (I rack up 5+ game streaks here fairly regularly) and the challenges I get here and in London are golden. No nostalgia bias here, I can't fault it.
MOTW is just for people who can't play SF3 to save their life :p
Because a cartoon Red Riding Hood pulls a machine gun out of her picnic basket, there's a special move that turns everyone into cute little animals, and one of the characters is a bee girl. Goofy seems fair.Quote:

Their list of the top 5 fighting games everyone should own.
#1 SF3-3rd Strike
#2 Virtua Fighter 4 Evo
#3 Samurai Shodown 2
#4 Soul Calibur 2
#5 FF: Mark of the Wolves
Or enjoy great gameplay :p (Just defence doesn't have the same counter attack properties as parrying, so it's not quite the same thing)Quote:

If they aren't abusing it that probably just means "code of honor" and has nothing to do with the game itself, just like GGX and its FRC infinites. Tekken 4 may have Jin more powerful then every other character in the game, but that doesn't mean every T4 player will use him. People will often look for something different to do outside of tournament play to try and find new stuff or not get bored of doing the same thing with the same character every single time they play the game. Sure, Slayers infinite isn't hard to do once you get used to it, but that doesn't mean it's very fun to do nothing but.Quote:

Tekken 4-This game was very dissappointing to me because it didn't bring enough originality to the table. Plus it was a broken mess :o .
MvC2- I use to be a big fan of this game. After playing competitively, there are only a handful of good characters out of 56. This isnt cool at all.
Street Fighter 3-This game just bored the hell out of me.
Thats pretty much it.
I wonder where these kids get these arguments came from. Jet Li would kick his ass pretty badly. Jacky Chan was raised by a chinese opera house. He could do crazy athletic stuff, but he didn't train in the mountains or anything all his life like Jet Li did at one point.Quote:
