I took my name off the spread sheet but I would like to play with you guys again,internet has been somewhat more reliable for fighters. I got to play a really long set with Guardian in Marvel last month, I was bodied for free but I felt like I got alot out of it(at his expense ). If anyone wants to play DOA5,UMVC3,TTT2, AE, and VF5FS(picking it up today, its 600 points this week), hit me up.

This might not be the best place to post this question but here goes anyway. I'm a casual fighting player who really liked the Street Fighter 4 games and Tekken x SF and not so much MvC3. I'm looking at the newer fighting games (ie DoA5 and TT2). Which should I got with? I do own a stick if that matters and also realize that these are not 2d fighters like the previous ones I mentioned which I why I wanted to purchase one of them. Was also looking at Virtua Fighter 5 on the arcade as well. Any help or suggestions would be awesome.

So the HD Remix (and VF5 & 3rd Strike) are 1/2 off this week. This means some people that are behind the times *cough* Kensei & Gouki *cough* should get HDR so we can start playing ST!

I'll probably pick up MVCO since I have the points for it. I've been hearing excellent things about the netcode.

Some of the other guys might be able to answer that better as I don't have any of the new 3D fighters. VF5 seems like a killer deal at the sale price right now. For me personally I like the looks of TTT2 a little better and I think it'll have more staying power. DOA5 however might be a little more accessible.

I picked up HD remix and will be looking for games this weekend.

Also, pick up 3rd strike if you don't have it! The MVCO netcode will be coming to it soon.

Did you get the packet?

I entered all the games (HDR, 3s, AE, SFxT) for the SF 25th Anniv. tournament in Los Angeles. I'll probably be hopping online in all of them. For AE, I'll probably hop online on PC more often than the 360. Lemme know if anyone wants some games.

I know Gouki just picked up HDR & I think we might play tomorrow. If I see you on I'll send an invite.

I'll be ready to play some HDR tomorrow. I'll also play 3S with any takers.

Question guys i'm going to get back into fighting games and was wondering which fighter should i pickup between super street fighter 4 arcade and ultimate marvel vs capcom 3?

I'd honestly recommend picking up both because they'll each satisfy a different fighting game "itch" you might have. SSFIVAE is a staple older-school game with a fresh coat of paint and UMvC3 is a quintissential fast paced new-school game. Marvel's speed, mobility, and attack options can be overwhelming at first, but is relatively lenient execution-wise. SSFIVAE is pretty easy to follow, but more advanced tactics are execution-heavy. Right now, SSFIVAE is on sale from NewEgg.

They're both extremely different beasts, but communities are healthy in both, so you won't go wrong with either.

It really just depends on what style of game you really like. I like both but prefer the faster pace of marvel over street fighter.

Definitely NOT Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3.

I'm only kidding. Sort of.

SFxT Street Fighter Changelog:

I'm willing to give this game another shot.

They've still done nothing to alleviate jab pressure. Gems are still a horrible mechanic. I still hate the disc locked characters. I abhor the existence of autoblock/tech. the timer is still way too fast. I'm reluctant to throw any more money at this PR disaster, and it doesn't look like they're actually addressing those problems with this update.

One thing's for sure. Even if they do fix those problems, its reputation is completely ruined. One horrible design choice after another has kept people away from it, and it's practically beyond redemption. I watched the SFxT tournament for the 25th anniversary, and I still couldn't get excited for the game.

hey guys, what is a good low execution team to learn marvel? I am so bad at the game.

By low execution team, do you just mean high damage with minimal effort? Or each character is low execution and effective?

Something like Captain American, Wesker, Sentinel is low execution and high damage team, and Sentinel assist obviously does great things for both point characters. You can play each of them at a relatively competent level with little effort.

If you just want to pick a bunch of lower execution characters with easy combos/hitconfirms and without a lot of liabilities, there's always Ryu, Wesker, Spencer, Captain America, and Wolverine... but a lot of them won't work well together without projectile, lockdown, or neutral assists, so weigh your options.
