3D Street Fighter games suck @ss

You make it sound like there’s been many. Even though there were 3 iterations of SF Ex, they were basically all the same game so it’s not like SF has REALLY had more than one foray into 3d land.

As far as 2D SF games, other than the parrying system, I didn’t like much about SF3, not much at all.

SF3′s parrying system really made the whole game. If you didn’t learn it and master it (to some degree) you missed out on 90% of the game. Now, I never said I liked the characters much from SF3… I think as far as characters go, SF3′s started off good and ended up way bad as far as moves for some, and personality for another. That said, Dudley and Hugo and Alex (amongst others) were great characters.

I really wanted a pure SF game that used the same engine from Marvel Super Heroes vs SF – basically that exact game without the Marvel characters, and with higher-res art.

SAY WHAT!? A pure SF game would be everything MSF vs SF, MvC isn’t! No tag teams, no MvC combos, … well that’s everything right? Oh and there’s that whole depth thing.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the crossover games, but as far as one on one battles, more characters lack depth than have them.

[in regards to SF HD and GG]

I’m not too psyched for SF HD because the gameplay is going to be the same, if not worse because of the updated sprites. And even though GG is a BEAUTIFUL game, I don’t think it’s good because of how it looks.

Tekken is meant to be more realistic than SF. Don’t compare the two man, it doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.

I wasn’t comparing the two, but I was asking the question as to whether Capcom could release a 3D fighter as good and deep as Tekken. I would say they could. Think of it this way… If you gave Namco the SF IP and said : “Make a 3D fighting game.” I bet they would and I bet they’d do a damn good job.

If you want me, I’ll be playing SNK vs Capcom 2, Paperboy and watching American Gladiators.

For the time being, the Guilty Gear series is what satisfies my cravings for awesome 2D-fighting goodness. My brother is even part of a club that focuses only on this series up at the Digipen Institute of Technology.

As far as SF goes, I’m still waiting for SF HD on XBLA with the artwork and animation all completely done by UDON. If you ask me, SFIV should have been a new SF game with all the art and animation done by UDON as well. SF HD has much higher resolution art than Guilty Gear, and that freakin’ kicks @ss. Capcom and SNK’s problem has always been that their artwork was too low res. And GG still runs at 60fps no problem.

Tekken is meant to be more realistic than SF. Don’t compare the two man, it doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. And we all know SF would be nowhere as good as it used to be if it played like Tekken or Virtua Fighter or even DoA. You can’t combine realistic fighting with super moves and whatnot. Imagine characters in Tekken throwing fireballs and executing super dragon punches. No thank you. And such moves don’t look impressive with 3D graphics anyways. It’s all about the 2D art.

Capcom had a chance to bring back 2D fighting and make it stronger than it ever was with SF4. But instead they chose to smoke a whole buncha crack. Now they want to hand the crackpipe to their fans. No thanks guys, I think I’ll pass.

If you want me Capcom, I’ll be up on my Sega Saturn, rocking Samurai Spirits 4, Vampire Savior, MSH vs SF or Xmen vs SF. Or on my PC / PS2 / Nintendo Revolution playing Guilty Gear XX #Reload or Accent Core. Call me when you get out of rehab, with a 2D-based Street Fighter 5.
