Discussion about Fighting Games

[Xenomic]

Alright, so I've been having a discussion about how Super Turbo's broken or not (which I clearly believe it is, while a friend of mine thinks it's balanced simply cuz of the match-ups). I'm curious as to what everyone here thinks on the matter on whether or not Super Turbo is broken/unbalanced/whatever, as well as any other fighting games in general.

balance and tiers are a joke, honestly, it's about the person, and his abilities
SF3, was broken beyond all hell, what I mean is, the concept of the parry
while VERY good idea on paper,
it is in NO REALISTIC way is good to make it possible to parry ANYTHING ENDLESSLY
Daigo has clearly shown how broken the mechanic is,
why do I state this when I don't care about broken-ness?
because since it's offical, and people love it, they disclude it, which I just love
somthing being's "offical" or "true"
ignore the ignorant people who say other-wise
<.<;

so many people complain that Mugen is more broken then a broken record, the ONLY way I agree on these grounds is,
A.I. issues in Mugen, I say this to any creator of broken/crazy/shin/god/devil/demon/crazed/psycho
charecters and there A.I.

you are NOT helping the Mugen community, you're killing it's newer members, or people trying to get in.
on a related note; yeah Boo-farkin-hoo someone you don't even know dies, shure Reu gave us a few good times in Mugen
but you don't know anything about the man, shure you can wish good things for the people around him, but you can't say you knew Reu
but all he ever gave me was an impossible way to have my Mugen charecters
fun to use, impossible in every-way to beat
I say the same for that SF3 Evil Ryu by Vyn
it's not funny to give charecters A.I. like that.


ummm I ranted too long?

now exscuse me *puts his straight jacket back on*

With the execption of mugen, most fighting games come down to skill. I've seen a lot of so-called bad characters in fighters get their beast on like crazy. A guy won the first sf3 ng tournament with oro!!! I went on a streak with hugo on 3rd strike at chinatown fair of all places!! But skill matters!!

[juelz aka wolfi]

thats very true skill is needed for fighting games like mentioned b4 peeps use sum of the most unexpected characters to win matches against CPU and human opponents who uses famous characters
most fighting games are balances its just how u use em

super turbo is not broken and to be honest no sf game is and no that doesnt include the likes of the most broken games of all time which are the vs series. U just have to have real skills plain and simple....if you dont have it in sf3 u are done and if you dont have it in any sf game you are done. The parry mechanic isnt broken.....most ppl dont even know how to use it well and thats the  problem plain and simple. I know all about the mechanics of sf games especially super turbo. If your friend is saying its broken he doesnt know what hes talking about. Most of the time when someone says this and that is broken its an excuse for them losing but that rule changes in certain games such as the vs series. But once again no street fighter game is broken...u just have to know what you are doing and how to do the basics because thats all you need to win even against the daigo guy. He uses the basics to win and doesnt try to get toooo fancy. Keep your composure and never give up your position and you will be fine

I don't know... jabbing Blanka's roll attack and taking off a gigantic chunk of his life in World Warrior sounds pretty broken to me.

 

But maybe that game is more outdated than broken.

Thats not broken it made the game more interesting. That means you just have to be careful when you do it is all. If u watch what you do then you will be fine. If u cant mind game well thats your problem.

ITT: Negi rants again and someone doesn't know about balance fixes. Broken.

[DrZaius]

Thats not broken it made the game more interesting.

Yeah, and then they took it out or toned down the damage in all the future games.

Guess it wasn't all that interesting...

I don't think ssf2t is broken. I thought a lot of the characters that were neteured in sft were back in business like guile. In Sf2 ce and turbo, his his flash kick was made into a two piece because many people thoght it was cheap and it forced guile players to be careful on relying on it. But I heard no whinning about the and of the shotos being cheap and the dragon punch remained the most feared move in sf til 3 came about (See parry ). I'm surprise a lot of you younger players are still giving it a go. I talk to a lot of people who grew up in the sfa age and a lot them say it's too old to play, go figure. Well this old man (see 29 ) will keep his sf on til ryu is on the screen with a walker!! But if you don't have the skill, you will be beaten BAD....
