I dug out my Dreamcast so we can play it at my next house party. Gotta start somewhere. :)

+Joe Schmoe i agree, take out one of the smashes and add this

dont think cvs2 was released dreamcast? just cvs1? ;P

It was. The Dreamcast is the baby brother of the NAOMI arcade hardware that CvS2 ran on. I've got the Dreamcast version at home: it's a great port. :)

nice heh, ya i guess a simple google search coulda straightened me out hehe, i remember playing cvs1 on dreamcast long ago heh, i got cvs2 for ps2 and i got the cvs2 EO for gamecube heh...1 button specials lol

Buktooth was always my favorite CvS2 player: so much fun to watch.

THE POWER OF OROCHI

ye

That was a fantastic comeback, for Buktooth after losing game one.

They pick those characters because they're generally the best and most people playing in competitive settings are playing to win. :\

Yeah exactly, every top tier character is a street fighter character, and it gets pretty stale watching cause every pro has the same team.

Preppy you said "best" i say *"cheap"* and apart from sakura those are actually the cheapest in the game indeed (except sagat he takes skill but _fuck_ the others, _specially BLANKA_) not the best to play, that's what i dislike or feel dissapointed about most "pros" picking always stuff that make them win the easier way just cause they're "the best" to pick

VixXstazosJOB If they don't take skill to play, then why didn't you win Evo? Most pros are pros because they do the things necessary to win. You should probably read the old "Play to Win" series of articles. :)

Preppy It is just that most people like to bitch. They like to call characters "cheap" and discredit wins, when they cannot do any better. They implement stupid "rules" that they think everyone should follow. But you have read "play to win" and you know.

Was just going to say that exact thing.

***** that's a good start

Thomas Woods yeah but you can't go online with it. #sucks

4 years later... eventually..

For those that don't know, this game can be played online now with Gamecube emulator: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtBiadefyNLJip8.html. Fyi it isn't arcade perfect, as it does not have roll cancelling

6 years have passed, we're getting there bois

Iori, Hibiki and Chun are absolutely not mid tier. Only Morrigan is.

tskitz what up boi !!

there are a few that still play, a few that are still looking to get into it Combo Breaker had lots of retro brackets like this

I play (2020), but I suck at this. I know how to do special moves and basic combos, but things like good spacing and reaction are completely beyond me. Let's not even get to the difficult combos.

sup

Checking in

The ST HD Remix debacle messed with all the other games. HD Remix was waaaaay over schedule and budget, AFAIA.

Capcom vs Snk 3 when tho?

How is Diego?

I've heard rumors that people were working on that. *crosses fingers*

Holy shit please be true... Also where?

CheechWizard22 Because she has no combos. None of her moves cancel out into anything.

Yeah, its true. This bitch don't have combos, the basis of any fighting game

Kenneth Peebles I believe that's correct. It was a pretty solid port, IIRC.

+Preppy All ports of this game were solid.

+Preppy "pretty solid port"? try arcade perfect ^-^ Also the ps2 port was shit compared to this one. I remember the graphic looked all bootleg and pixelated lmao. Infact many ports of fighting games were awesome on the dreamcast.

diasflac0g All of the ports were the same, pretty much. Besides, the PS2 version is shown in this vid.

***** Actually, they're all the same except for EO.

But he wasn't using *IORI* lol jk

***** evil ryu in usf4, yun in ae

When doesn't he use top tier characters? He won Guilty Gear at Evo 2004 with fucking Sol.

+Wiley Sells Sol top tier? HAHAHHA.

That Bison pulled out a fake ass victory due to bitch ass mechanics that help scrubs.

+placebo1234 Cause Daigo is the favorite as well as being a foreigner

+placebo1234 Daigo wasn't hated, but he had that NY Yankee heat with the FGC for a while, same as JWong. Some people would rather watch the best players lose, than to watch them continue to win. I think for a lot of people it makes them feel better about their own losses to see someone much better than themselves lose.

Or you know, the fact that one is using a team full of top tier characters, and another was a lesser known player doing extremely well which is exciting.

TempusKing buktooth wasn't "lesser known" at all. Campbell was one of the best CvS2 players for the entire life of the game. If anything, Daigo would have been the underdog in this match. People cheered Buk because he's American, and this match happened in America. That's all.

As labeled: Daigo on the left, Buktooth on the right. Buktooth is also known for being *the* best N groove player, which is additional useful context. :)

He's high tier for N groove, yeah, but not OP.

How can they not put ioris jump back in the game big failure

cegolau that's the good thing about it it's good but the others are not bad ether it's just custom combo has always been op in every game it's been it

Matt Manuel huh, after listening to it again it does sound like Max XD

I think it was seth kilian.

+Matt Manuel Seth killian.

Seth Killian? who's that

The Useless Channel you play cvs2 alot ?

Jagotron Occasionally. I prefer CvS 1.

Sometimes people would be seated opposite of where they were playing, which can really screw with you. Brain fart, I guess. :)

He does say he got them mixed up like 3 seconds after. Pay attention much

if u listen carefully the other announcer actually says "backwards!" right after, duno if they clarify later, is why im looking comments so guess ive found my answer thanx

Buktooth is a beast.

If it doesn't require skill, why didn't you win the finals? Seems like these guys could consistently beat you: by all standard definitions that's "skill", regardless of how you feel about it. :\

Preppy Facts

TanukiJay lol you just don't even know bro SMH
