I always had problem with fighting game.

Mostly due to all the different key combination to do all sorts of moves. Which is fine for hard core gamers. But for casual gamers it is just frustrating.

Oh just swallow your pride and admit the real reason you don't like these games, you got P0WNED by an 8 year old! ;)

This probably accounts for the popularity of the Smash Brothers series. All moves are [hold directional stick in one direction] + [One of two attack buttons]. Any newbie can learn all of each character's moves in a minute, so its much more accessible than most fighting games where you have to make arcane circular motions on the d-pad for all of your good moves.

It's not more accessible. Well, maybe Brawl is, but Brawls sucks as a fighting game. Melee was *quite* technical. Knowing how to do any one move doesn't mean you know anything about the game.

That's true of any good fighting game. People who don't recognize that haven't even scratched the surface of the intended gameplay.

I don't think you know what "accessible" means. "Accessible" means you can get into the game and do something with a fairly small learning curve. Not that once you have done this you know everything there is to know. A game can both be accessible and have depth; they aren't opposites.

Ever heard of Othello: "Minutes to learn, a lifetime to master"?

Compare Smash Bros Melee to Soul Calibur.

What about the soundtrack?!!

[lordofthechia]

Please tell me the soundtrack will be left alone! New Marvel V Capcom 2 players need to be "taken for a ride" and encouraged to "don't give up".

Re:What about the soundtrack?!!

[Datamonstar]

Ah, man. You mean you DON'T want to be taken for a ride? You're no fun.

While we're at it...

It'd be great if other companies who put out awesome games on the DC spend the time to port their games to the new generation of consoles for sale in the online stores. Nintendo has done a good job with making their back catalog available and while a lot of those games are nice for nostalgia, there's some games I really really want to play because I either didn't finish it or because it was just that good.

The games I can think of that come to mind immediately are:

* Crazy Taxi (pure goofy fun that would be fun with friends)

* Jet Set Radio (awesome soundtrack, cel shading graphics done right, just all around fun game that Tony Hawk and any snowboarding game hasn't been able to recapture)

* Shenmue (still looking for sailors after all these years...)

* SSX Tricky (I know, this is a PS2 game, but it'd be sweet to upgrade it for a PS3...it's the only SSX game that was simple and fun...I tried the wii version and it was just lacking that certain something from Tricky)

It's sad that I can get the original 2600 version of Adventure for an iPhone but can't play JSR unless I know someone who has both the game and a DC.

Re:I hate them for a different reason

[Wolydarg]

Yeah, it is. I forgot which issue but Magneto stripped all the Adamantium from Wolverine's bones after Wolverine tried to kill Magneto. I think he gave it to Sabretooth. Xavier later lobotomizes Magneto for this, I think.

I'm really out of touch

[autophile]

I guess it shows how out of touch I am with fighting games that I thought Marvel vs. Capcom was a lawsuit :P
