People say the game is better now than it was in October 2001, well in my opinion, that is just some bull sh*t, because most fo the people who say that haven't even played the game that long ago. October 2001 was skill based, sure there was lag, but the move set was unpredictable, and strategies were made every second, but what about now? You do optic blasts all the time, and you win, you do maximum spider all the wime, and you win, hmm... lets keep away with hadoukens shall we? dubya tee eff, are you mad?!?!! This game is no better than it was in Oct 2001, skill-wise.

In Oct 2001, you had to train, and learn from the masters to be decent, you had to put up hours in XvSF to be with the pros, what about now? In one hour, some rookie kills a pro no prob. In Oct 2001, super moves were dodgable, and they didn't exploit brokenness, now? Mega Optic Blast, Evil Ryu Mega super duper shinkuu gou zankuu hado of air fireball good ness!!!

In Oct 2001, normal moves(c.MP, c.Hk, j.HK) dominated the game for the most part, now?? Good you know what I was going to say, here is a cookie!!

I don't see any improvement in skill, other than a loss in that factor, only newer characters, newer moves, improved game engine, and that's it. Instead of repetitive matches(When you know whats going to happen when you face a Cyke, spidey, or Sent user), how about some unpredictable matches, like it was 1 1/2 years ago? If you want to disprove, go ahead, but you probably don't know what I'm talking about.

Also, a note, I don't care if you say back then, people were rank hungry, because those rank hungry people HAD to fight the pros or they would be ridiculed(Since they were a minority at the time), and usually, rank hungry people are just as bad as they should be, but times has changed, the rank hungry is the majority, most of the pros have left, and if you are at rank 100+ and want a challenge, good luck finding them, unless against ####ies(Just happened to em right now).

" Back then, PeoPle were rank hungry(rier). "

Hahahaha!

those were the good days....

and i think tarkan just made this cuz he lost to a noob....

yeah i know ;)

Shutup! Tark here has a point back in the day with Ryu u hade to have strategies, I remember I was a killer with him upclose pulling of mad combos, even when wolve and chun-li was in the game. I was really good with ryu and never just did hadoken,hadoken, or Drill calw,drill calw drill claw. It makes no since and I cant even get in close to beat the snot out of ppl with my bare hands, cause they keep thowing haoukens,drillclaws and opticblast. I agree with Tarken there are nearly not any true masters around. Alomost all players abuse thier moves which is nonsense, I even notice in the real X-men vs sf ryu does not thow his hadoukens as fast and repeated in this version. And as for spidey web ball,web ball. All they do is hop in the air and web ball or spidey kick till they get thier gauge full. And do maxium spider or web sting.
And one thing I notice I rember TmyApp said even if someone thew a hadouken it would not stop your super like wolvies. But it still does. Most ##### their main strategies is do the same move over and over and pull of a super or Variable

Whoa Whoa Whoa!! Are you telling me there's a character who can do Drill Claws AND Hadounkens?


And there's a character who can ALSO DO OPTIC BLASTS, along with HADOUKENS and DRILL CLAWS!?!?

Can't you see he is talking about the opponet and I know your joking but still...

lol Asshole is always like that

TarkanX is right..you used to be able to move during a super, and almost everything else :biggrin:

what the hell is happening to this game?

i get caught up in alot matches with sum cheap bitch but i still wipe the floor clean of them. as far is i concerned about wolverine, only good fights i find with him is few pple i trained, who i showed the number of combos to. the combos i invented.

i really didnt think a wolve user could be cheap until i seen 'drill claw drill claw, drill claw, drill claw, drill claw, BBX, drill claw drill claw, drill claw, drill claw, drill claw, BBX, BBX' and that ####.

ryu is a different story, hadouken the entire damn match.

and italy, that statement u said proves ur one of them.
