yeah true. Who do you think is the toughest and the easiest character to play with?

um i find charge chars the easiest to play with since im always holding back
the hardest are the big slow ones
i find chan(kof), raiden (kof), zangrif(sf) teh hardest to use
since i cant jump high and the full circle moves only come out sometimes =P

Nara Shikamaru

I meant only from sf but anyways yeah Zangief for me too. I could never pull out his supers cause I can't pull out a 360 on my keyboard. It's too hard XD.

And the easiest are prolly Ryu and his duplicates [ken etc]

yea ryu & his clones are not hard

i love bison and guile adn vega and balrog they are some of my favs to play with

Nara Shikamaru

Did you know In different regions, Vega and Balrog exchange names.

Like in the US version of the Street Fighter 2 game, Vega is that masked guy with claws but in the Europe and Asia version he is Balrog and the boxer is Vega!! I mean what the hell is that??

yep i know all that
well over here m.bison is the main boss
vega is the guy with claws
and balrog is the boxer
teh orig was
m.bison was the boxer
vega was the main boss
and balrog was teh guy with the claw


they changed it cause m.bison (the boxer) looked and sounded too much like Mike tyson who looked exactly liek him and to prevent getting sued they changed everythign

what is it over there

Nara Shikamaru

I have the US version of the game but have played the Asia version only once. Vega is the main boss [m.bison there] And yeah Balrog is guy with claws lol. Pretty confusing. lol

Ninja48 is probably wondering why I wasn't the very first person to join this thread (or create it). That is... if he is still around.

Noticed it on your sig, Balmung5000. Count me in please.

Systems to Play On:
Arcade
Playstation 2

First Fighting Game Played:
Street Fighter 2: The World Warriors

Though if you want to get REALLY technical, my first fighting game was Punch Out... but that doesn't count since it was not 2Players :P. As you can see, I'm mostly 2D. I would have included Tekken 5 and Virtua Fighter (which I do play)... but they aren't what I really play... I play those cause my friends play them.

I take this shit really competitively and I don't consider Fighting Games based off of anime's to be Fighting Games for many reasons (but don't hold it against me).

EDIT: I used to run a forum dedicated to Fighting Games... I advertised and everything but not many people joined and it eventually died out (though I am trying to revive it... just don't know how).

awsoem i would love to watch some experienced players to help improve my skills

Angra Mainyu

Well, I doubt you play Tekken 5 / KOFXI which is what I currently have up now. But I will be uploading CvS2 and 3rd Strike videos real soon I can promise you that :P

I'll probably have um up by Friday-Sunday. I have a load of matches stored on my computer that I gotta get up.

EDIT: Oh yeah, shoryuken.com for technical information on fighting games (Tekken Zaibatsu for technical Tekken information). If your looking to really master fighting games, those web-sites will tell you all about advanced techniques (such as Roll Cancelling in CvS2, Instant Air Dashing or Tiger Kneeing moves from the ground and into the air). You'll be familier with the terms :P
