I fondly remember SFxT as the first non MK game I really took seriously back in the day, and was the first game I ever played properly on a fightstick. I still look back on those London Tournaments Mustard and I used to attend and the people we met. It was a cool experience all round. It's a shame the reputation of the game and DEFINITE SF4 elitism really hurt it early, but I really wanna jump back in and relearn it once again. Awesome video man.

This game is a great example of "first impressions are everything." The general public heard about what it was at launch along with the shady business practices and decided to skip it. Sure, it improved over time, but people lost interest at that point and it faded into obscurity. If the fixes made a year after launch was the launch version and the business side decided to be competent, this game would have done much better.

@poego6045 3 жыл бұрын

It was the shady stuff, but also the timer being a huge problem. For a LOT of the early tournaments and streams of the game, most of the matches ended in time outs. That kills so much hype in fighting games when its just a matter of running out the clock and whose slightly more damaged come the zero time.

Thank you for highlighting the things that I've been championing for years and years, and that many others have always known about this game. Like you I think the boosts add interesting wrinkles to many of the SF characters to further separate them from the SF4 characters not just in their combos, but how their gameplans shift to be more in line with a team game. The way you highlighted how unsafe they are on block, and how some can be made safe on block depending on matchups and spacing, was particularly good for dispelling a lot of the fib about the game's meta. I also like the explanation of how they can have a greater emphasis on the synergy you consider when forming a main team.

What about Footsies and more importantly SmaSho It's one of the games that I play to parctice neutral and the damage is high over that tere are barely any combos (which adds up for the lack of combos and makes it difficult to take risk) Edit: And in SamSho V Special there's the sword Gauge that makes it so that adds even more risk to use your big buttons because your next ttack won't do as much over the fact that if you whiff a big button you'll probably lose 25-50% of your health

For me, huge punishes can be more frustrating than fun, at least when it *feels* like the opponent lucked out and didn’t outplay me. MK11 gives this feeling a lot with its uppercut & throw krushing blows which can net huge damage from too-frequent ambiguous, scrambley situations in poke range where it feels like either player could have landed the hit.

I was Cole main. He had some cool moves. His srk+p was a super fast anti-air which grabbed people in the air for a setup on the ground. He had a slide which could go under projectiles, except low tiger shot and sonic boom. His super was a pillar like Rashid's VT tornado which acted like a barrier and stayed on the screen long enough for Cole to recover and do another move. I say he had the best projectiles in the game, his were a grenade which travelled different distances depending on L, M or H. They also didn't go in a straight line, they went in an ark so they could go under your opponents projectiles and they would linger on the ground for a few seconds before exploding. If you were having a full screen wall to wall projectile fight you could throw out the M fireball and it would land just short of the opponent but close enough to make them go into block animation. Also if you meter burned the fireball he could throw out two projectiles so what i would do was throw out one then follow up with an ex fireball so there would be three on the field. However he had the second lowest health in the game lower than Akuma's so two combos and you were dead.

@AuntBibby 3 жыл бұрын

CapraKiwi yeah capcom gave megaman, pacman & cole ultra-low health which is like... why? at least, why other than to make them LESS competitively-viable at every level of play, from beginner to tournament-professional? i can see giving the two cat characters low health cuz theyre that kind of character archtype (tiny hurtbox character) but for heavens sake... megaman already played like a joke character! he really sucked; at least give him DECENT health so hes at least worth using to prove how good u are like Dan is... but no, capcom wanted to make sure the xbox 360 version wasnt LESS competitively-relevant for NOT having these characters available (they were sony-exclusive guest characters as repayment for sony’s help with gamedev funding) so it’d still sell not-terribly compared to the ps3 version (which was actually possible back then, as xbox was a bigger part of the market at the time). they tried to have their cake.& eat it too. well, your plan worked out reeeealllll great capcom, sfxt was a huge success financially!!!!! the average fighting game fan totally doesn’t mind at ALL when a back-of-the-box feature has its playability intentionally-sabotaged for financial reasons!!! the REAL average fighting game players who are usually casual gamers (that u go on & on about in your press releases & interviews & developer updates) dont care about when the spreadsheet programmer makes the numbers wrong on purpose!!! they love that!!!! thats why im currently playing Super Tekken X Street Fighter on my Xbox One S using the kinect controls right now as i type this
