ost_uid0="SSJKarma"]DAN, that's just it ! don't you think its stupid to force a player to do as he wished for a certain character and not do what you wish to do with him ?
in any case, many characters in GGX are very difficult to do things you would want to do.
EXAMPLE...
the guy with the playing cards (he's great but i don't recall his name)
in any cases, he got to throw coins at people and they must hit the person for him to actually be able to do special moves. fact is, this coin toss thing is just dman too slow, reguardless of how i tryed to combo it into so i can as i hit the opponent, try to make more hits, it just relentlessly stop my combo and i have to restart again !
so seriously, for all i played GGX, its a great game, great chars great graphics... but seriously... its too damn hard to do anything with the chars and since its so hard to master every charcaters cause their moves are too damn hard to make, mainly, ya can't do a 30 hit combo in the game ! ya always end up with a maximum of a 10 hit or something !
in any case, gameplay wise, i still have to find any game close to the strategie SFA3 brought along !
as for instant kills, yeah i know they must be tuffer to do in higher levels... but its nonetheless, a really cheap way when you fight against a real opponent and not a computer !
one other thing, even tho i hate people who still do the same trick over an over... the NEGATIVE PENALTIES just sucks.
one thing i liked in the VS series that we lack in all other fighting game, are the jump block !
tho i think SFA 3 has them as well !
in any case, the game is great for what it is, but for me it sure aint beating out SFA3 nor will it defeat MvsC2 ![/quote]
lol karma that card playing guy is my fav character johnny. hell in part 2 his coin toss is rather fast meaning u can do some insane combos like i do. hell i love nailing this combo on my friends cause they always fall for it and get hella pissed. punch, punch, punch, kick, heavy slash, coin toss, dash+heavy slash, coin toss, down foward+punch. if nailed right his mist finner attack will hit 10 times since he powered it up with his coin.
and dan you are right. ggxx is very balanced compared to mvc. hell if you put a fast person against a powerful slow person in a fight in mvc 2 then u know the speed character will win. but in ggxx its a lot diff. ive seen people slaughter with that big guy potemkin. and the speed characters are good in ggxx but you cant just button mash and what knot cause you will get destroyed. hell i like ggxx a whole lot better than the vs games and alpha 3 because the graphics are also a hell of a lot better and the gameplay is just pimp. hell you can double jump, air dash, air combo, and a whole lot extra in ggxx. man so far im hella good with johnny/slayer/ky/chip/testament/and zappa.
on another note, ggxx characters are all original. there are no clones like ryu/ken/and akuma. each character is unique and requires diff strats and skillz to win.
