You're full of crap:
My god, think man, THINK.

"No, that's THEY'RE definition of an infinite. "

It's not THEIR definition of an infinite, it's THE definition of an infinite. What does the word infinite mean? It can go on FOREVER. If there's a super required it can't go on FOREVER since you have a FINITE amount of supers. If you have a finite amount of something, that automatically precludes it from being an INFINITE. Like I said, this is common sense...something finite cannot be infinite.

"That's YOUR opinion. "
"It was a lot better than Mvc2, but it wasn't as good as Marvel superheroes vs street fighter. "

LOL, OK. Let's start at the top.
A3 was HELLA better than MvC1. Even though both games break down into infinite fighter at high levels, at least A3 has more than 6 playable characters. MvC1 only has Strider, War Machine, Gold War Machine, Red Venom, Wolverine and Hulk. You play anyone else, you get killed absolutely for free. Sad but true. And in that list, only Strider and Gold War Machine can't kill off the next character for free if the first one dies. MvC1 is for the most part about hitting the person ONCE, killing their first character then getting guaranteed guard break into infinite on the 2nd one. MvC was a lot of fun but at high levels of play, it was a terrible game.
As for MSF, that's probably one of the worst games ever made. MSF has a lot of infinites in it...some of them were exactly the same as XSF. Same button sequences and everything. Dhalsim's infinite is exactly the same as his XSF one. And this game has no undizzy factor, short blockstun (which means easier and more practical guard breaks) and to top it off has a character that beats almost every other character for free. Wolverine owns everyone but Iron Zangief pretty much for free. Iron Zangief gets owned by most characters with projectiles. Then projectile characters get owned by Wolverine for free. This 3-sequence is how you can describe MSF.
LOL, you say infinites are why MvC2 is bad, yet they play NO part in the game, and you say that 2 games that were about NOTHING but infinites (ok...to be fair MvC1 was about 50% guaranteed chip damage every 8 seconds too) are better. You have NO idea what you're talking about, kid.

"1.)How would you know about the beta?"

They regularly put preliminary versions of games in SVGL and SHGL.

"Just say it, just say "I suck with captain commando, so I'll blame HIM for it." You're just another newbie who thinks just because the newbs who go to the tournaments play the same three characters throughout they're pathetic existance, makes the characters they choose good, and makes the characters they didn't choose suck. You obviously haven't played me."

Commando is not a very good character because he can't beat any top tier character and is not even worth 1/2 of any top tier character. He can't beat keepaway, you have to get magnificently lucky to stop a Magneto or Storm rushing you down and his projectile threat is so minimal that Cyclops doing something like hitting low fierce over and over and calling Blackheart every now and then leaves him with no plausible solutions. THAT is why the character sucks. He has a good assist though.

"Don't blame the character for your lack of skill.
Personally, I'm good with Ironman. "

You can be the best Ironman player on the planet. You could be able to bridge into infinite after low strong every time, even better than the Japanese can do it. Yet even if you were Jesus himself controlling Iron Man, you couldn't beat say...a Sentinel/Commando team. That's just the sad truth of it...Iron Man doesn't have an answer to angled air threats, so he'll have to call assists often, and I'll just counter assist you with Commando to swat them away over and over. This way, your Iron Man will not only get killed, you'll get another member of your team killed along with him. Maybe this is why you hate Commando so much. You have no idea what is and what isn't good in this game. Another prime example of Sirlin's point...you didn't actually play the real game, you know what's good in the game that follows YOUR rules, but you don't know anything about the REAL game because you've never played it.

"But you said Commando sucks... how can he win if he sucks? "

Yeah Commando sucks. But Iron Man is even worse. I put Commando first on that list because Iron Man can't attack without getting into Commando's prime range. Commando is Iron Man's straight counter character.

"Ryu's assist sucks! What's the excuse for that one? "

Um...Ryu's dragon punch assist is pretty good. Short invincibility burst and does one hit so the damage doesn't get reduced. Yeah, Ken/Cammy's are generally better but uh...it's still pretty good. Besides, what does this have to do with anything? Most of the really useful assists in the game are on the Capcom side. Sentinel, Doom, Cyclops, Blackheart, Psylocke are good Marvel assists. Capcom side has Commando, Cammy, Ken, Bison-B, Guile/Charlie anti-air, Zangief's 3, BBH projectile etc, etc. The majority of assists with extended invincibility are on the Capcom side (you also notice that most of the Capcom side listed are crappy characters). Your comment has nothing to do with this point.

"Always going back to "what happens in a gay tournament". I don't care what happens in a gay tournament. "

You should. Tournaments are where people go to play for real. What, do you think your games in the garage with your friends count more?

"QUOTE ME where I said I don't know how to stop assists"
"Marvel vs Capcom 2 is ALL assists"

You wouldn't say that if you knew how to stop assists.

On your problem against tournaments:
OK, kid, where do you live? If you live in the US, then I bet you could get to on without going too far out of your way. There are high level MvC2 players in Cali, NYC as usual but there are also lots of tournaments up and down the east coast (Philly, VA, Florida), Texas has an active tournament scene; I've been to Arizona tournaments. Pacific Northwest has lots of tournaments. OK/KS have a strong Tekken scene so I imagine they play some Marvel too. There are lots of tournaments if you just know where to look.
You should go to the next tournament in your area. Donate some money to the good players, learn how much you suck at the game (or just ask me if you'd like more clarification), and maybe learn how much MvC1 sucks as a competitive game if anyone there is good at it. But don't rely on your matches with your friends. If your posts are any evidence as to your competitive level, I would imagine they aren't very good either.

Ok, I'm only gonna quote one thing. Everything you say is opinion. If you SAY something sucks, it's opinion. What do you think an opinion is?
quote:
Um...Ryu's dragon punch assist is pretty good. Short invincibility burst and does one hit so the damage doesn't get reduced.

Ok, you're just trying to contradict everything I say, so I won't even bother.
You think you're so godly because you've been to a MARVEL VS CAPCOM 2 TOURNAMENT. Big freakin deal. I'd beat YOU any day. I can tell by the way you talk. You talk like a wannabe.
Marvel vs Capcom didn't have as much BS as Mvc2 does. And Marvel super heroes vs street fighter was better than them both. Of course, that's MY opinion. You can't say that someones OPINION is wrong, wtf?
"You like vanilla? That's totally wrong, it's a proven fact that chocolates a lot better"
Just shut up, you're not even a newbie, you're a wannabe newbie.

LOL, so this is how it ends huh? You have nothing to say that I can't shoot down without even trying so you have to fall back on the tired old "it's my opinion!!!" scrub trick. This doesn't work either, child.
I'll use the same example that I used last time this came up. It's my opinion that the earth is flat, that Puce, Michelle Branch and I are going to get married (hey, it's legal in Utah) run away and live on a desert island where midgets will bring us drinks, mail will be delivered by Ricky Ortiz wearing nothing but a thong and the martians will drop in every now and then to say howdy. Obviously that's wrong. But it's my opinion!!! IT CAN'T BE WRONG!!!!!!!
But it is. You can't hide faulty garbage reasoning behind an "opinion". Sorry, try harder next time.
MvC doesn't have as much bullshit? Really? What do you call dying because Red Venom touched you or threw you once (a throw that btw, you can't even tech hit). What do you call double war machine taking 50% life with nothing at all you can do about it every 8 seconds? What do you call Wolverine crouch cancel infinite that doesn't undizzy (thereby guaranteeing both characters dying off a low short). What do you call the uncombo bug, making damage scaling irrelevant? War Machine doesn't even need to worry about undizzy because with uncombo he can kill you in less than 9 reps of his infinite? What do you call Strider having orbs on him for 55 seconds continuously?
You can say,
"it's my opinion that MvC1 and MSF were better games because I'm a scrub, everyone I play against are scrubs and we were never good enough at older fighting games to realize that they were so utterly broken. When top players spoon fed me strategy for MvC2, I freaked because this was the first time I'd seen a game actually played well because when my friends and I played MSF we were scrubs and thought we had skills because we could do Spiderman air combos! Even though we know you're right Viscant, it's still my opinion that they were more fun even though they weren't better games"

Sure you could say that and I'd leave you alone because you'd have just kicked your own ass for me.

No, I'm not going anywhere. I'll debate this forever if I have to, to show you the error of your ways.
Oh, and there's nothing wrong with Mvc2, huh?
The game's fruity, you're fruity, so you're just defending your own kind. I understand.

HEY STUPID? STUPID? DO YOU NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OPINION AND FACTS?
OK, HERE'S AN EXAMPLE...
FACT= YOU'RE A FAGGOT
OPINION= MVC1 IS A GOOD GAME
FACT= YOUR MOTHER WAS SNIFFING COCAINE WHILE PREGNANT WITH YOU (THAT'S ASSUMING YOU DIDN'T COME INTO THIS WORLD SOME OTHER WAY)
OPINION= MVC2 IS A GOOD GAME
FACT= ALL YOUR OPINIONS ARE WRONG
OPINION= YOU HAVE A BRAIN
FACT= YOUR FATHER SHOULD'VE DIED IN THE WAR BEFORE SPAWNING ANOTHER "HUMAN BEING"
OPINION= YOUR MOTHER'S A WOMAN
FACT= I OWN YOU
KNEEL DOWN AND RECOGNIZE YOUR SUPERIOR BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. I'LL FORGIVE ALL YOUR SINS, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS REPENT.
REPENT, HEATHEN!

Was there a fly on your keyboard, and you kept trying to slap it and it kept moving around on the keyboard until you finally got it. And what you accidentally typed out you just posted?
I could smack my face on the keyboard, and it'd spell out something that makes more sense than that abomination.

I've already said it.

I play "peeps" who're scrubs?
I don't remember playing you or Viscant.
If you like mvc, why would you be calling it gay?
That was a sad pathetic attempt at insulting me. I had to get a translater who knew the language of "moronic retard" to decipher that idiocy.

There's nothing more to say here.
You can't refute a single thing I've said and all you're trying to do is bait me into insulting you. Until you actually respond to anything I say with something substantial, there's no need for me to reply.
You said yourself that infinites can ruin a game. So why do you think MvC1 and MSF (which have more practical infinites, easier guard breaks and fewer god characters) are better games?
You said that you can't go 3000 miles to go to a tournament? Where do you live? As long as you live in the US (which I'm sure you do, as your colloquialisms give you away), there's one within 500 miles unless you live in the woods in Montana. In which case, your scrubbiness would be excused.
You say you hate assists? So why do you like MSF better than MvC2, especially because you can kill assists easier in MvC2 than you can in MSF?

It's interesting how you're flaming Janneo. You've done exactly the same thing that he has, posting useless garbage.

That's not true. Anything goes (aside from game freezing glitches... similar to the ones banned from MVC2 tournaments). Everything else is legal. FDC (Faultless Defense Cancel), IK (Instant Kills), FCD (Faultless Cancel Dash), ID (Impossible Dust) etc etc.

I just play the game. I haven't found any infinites or anything that's unfair in Mvc or msvsf. I don't go looking on sites to find infinites like you do.
Right when I played mvc2, there were unfair characters and infinites that were easy to figure out. Some assists were unfair, me and my friend didn't use assists constantly because that's lame. The character you're playing as is the character that's supposed to fight, not some retard that jumps in out of nowhere to kick you. Not that I'm not good at it, I'd beat you 4 times out of 5.
I've been to shoryuken like once, and seen a couple captain commando assist games, and wasn't impressed. And I'm guessing that's where they announce tourneys. They don't exactly come knocking on your door to ask you if you want to go to a tourney that just happens to be in your area for the first time ever.

BTW, to the person who said Wolverine in MSHvSF owns everyone, there is an exception. He gets owned by Bison! Have you ever seen what a Scissors Kick Nightmare does to Wolverine!? Its ridiculous of the damage Wolverine takes! Plus Wolverine can't(from my sights) dish out as much damage as Bison or alot of others for that matter.


Ok about tournament play: this is not such a great solution. I mean its only certain games that are being played and others overlooked. Whoever has come to that tournament is either looking or they are playing. Whoever wins is declared the winner of the tournament. Keep in mind this is not delaring them "Master of the universe", so they just won that tournament and are given the title "the best in the world"? No. This cannot happen.

To say if I went to a tournament for Dragonball GT Final Bout. Now i know this game would never get to tournament sites because not many have played it or heard of it or some think it sucks. Now say I won this tournament....and so this makes me the best i the world? No. This can't be right. Because i ahvent played everyone i possibly can. But in my mind i am the greatest,however i realize in real life that i might not be "the best" because some jock in another place is at the same level of skill i'm on. So if i knew him i'd find and beat him and that STILL will not make me the best! As it stands, I personally consider myself the best at DBGT:FB. But I know that can't be the case since someone might actually beat me one day. So until that day i will consider myself the best.

I guess what i'm tryin to say is, is that tournaments can't solve everything.

I might have worded this wronfg or somethin cause it seems wierd. Anyway cya!
