That's a dumb excuse for taking things out and robs the game of depth. This is tantamount to removing roll-cancels in CvS2; KBD and wavedashing in Tekken; tri-dash, fast-fly, unfly, re-fly, hop-cancel, etc. from Marvel; combos from SFII. Not everyone has wavedashing in Marvel. In fact Marvel as...

The problem here is that you're assuming that the game's ruleset is fully outlined in the manual when in reality it isn't. A games true ruleset is what is allowed by the code, nothing more, nothing less. If the code means that so-and-so character can backdash cancel faster than others then so be it.

Funny you mention Alpha 3 being your favorite when a good part of winning in that game involved a glitch (crouch cancel infinites). You have no idea how much tech people are hiding, especially among the better players. Heck, there was so much "unknown" stuff that suddenly showed up at EVO...

Read the article, even if the Gambit glitch did not out and out crash the game, it was tantamount to an instant "WIN" button and really, added nothing to the game.

Until he get's DQed for every time he drops the game whenever someone uses a "glitch" against him.

Shouldn't is subjective and frankly doesn't matter in a competitive fighting game. http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?threads/on-cheapness.91151/

At that point in time, people were still playing ST competitively, people were still playing Alpha 2 and 3 competitively. In fact America dropped 3rd Strike for some time before the Japanese showed folks that it was legit. Also, information flowing faster doesn't mean stuff gets discovered...

It's been 3 months. That's way too little time to figure out a game's true balance. You need at least 6 months to a year to do so, more even for some other games.

Welcome to 2D!

I'm simply going to assume that a) you don't understand the competitive mindset and that b) you've failed to notice all the stuff we've been breaking lately (unblockables in SSFIV, TAC infinites in UMvC3).

I wish people would start working on figuring out actual win-loss ratios and debating those. That way Wah, or anyone else working on the chart (which includes me btw) can start making updates on it.

Who the heck cares if BDC is a glitch. Y'all should be thinking "how do I use this to win" instead of "OMG TECMO PATCH THIS SHIT!" Anyone who complains about it is a scrub plain and simple. This is fighting games, something that UltraDavid once described as being "skill based dickery." You...

Or they freaking realized that 3rd Strike was an awesome game once people opened it up years down the line. Seriously, 3rd Strike didn't start getting hype until Tokido demonstrated how Urien was like having Magneto in SF and then Daigo did his full parry at EVO Also, on the contrary, the FGC...

The only thing that'll justify the "Plus" moniker for me is a World Heroes style Death Match mode.

I used to play SF x Tekken regularly and the game isn't as bad as people make it out to be. In fact, I know some folks who think the game is objectively better than SFIV. The only valid complaints are the amount of time-outs and the gem issues. Other issues aren't as big as people make them...
