I played SFxT the other day with a few friends - 2v2 the way it's meant to be played. And it was quite fun...Jab pressure is a bit much, but it can be an enjoyable game.

Seems like more of a casual / fun game for play between competitive titles though.

If Maxes vids are to be believed more and more TO's are dropping it.

They're supposed to be announcing something big about it at E3. Last chance saloon tbh.

Divekick stream viewer count is bigger than SFXT. Can we update the EVO roster?

No, it's terrible. Maybe if you're just interested in it on a very casual level you'd find it alright though. Best fighting game available to buy on PC would be Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition Version 2012, in my opinion.

It's not out on PC yet, and you're better off with SSFIV:AE tbh; or wait for Skullgirls PC.

Or you can check out old-school games via GGPO.net.

Or if you're feeling adventurous, check out the doujin/indie scene.

It will be very casual gaming on pc with 2 controllers, so competitive balancing doesnt matter at all. Just fun and gfx. I can get sfxtekken for fairly cheap.

much difference in them really? The newer one sounds worse balanced but a nicer char selection for casual play. Would it be worth picking up both casually or are they too similar?

Well, SFxT has a much easier combo system to get to grips with at a casual level, I'll give it that, and if anyone that'll be playing particularly likes some of the Tekken cast that's a plus.

I think SF4 is a much better game (nothing to do with competitive balance, just think it's intrinsically more fun) but if it's just gonna be button mashing type stuff and you can get it for cheap, might be worth a go. I'd say the best FG to play on a casual level like that is probably MVC3, but sadly that didn't get a PC release.

I'd still give the nod to SFIV, as even on a casual level it's easier to FINISH rounds.
Also you don't have to worry about tagging partners in and all that fluff.

Personally, on a casual level of not learning the game in detail, SFXT is infinitely more fun than SF4. Balance and high level play is horrible, but if you just wanna punch some guys without getting competitive then SFXT is much better in my opinion.

On a casual level, SFxT is a double edged sword, there's a lot fo fun there but if someone in the group playing figures out the power of tatsu or jab then that's the game destroyed. Sure it still works at pro level. Ultimate defense is also... wrong.

SSF42012 might be less immediate fun but when people start learning a little about it (as everyone does, even super casual players) it's got way more legs.

So I guess that's your choice right there!

2012 is a patch of arcade edition, you get it for free when you buy it.

If it's just you and the GF, SFxT might even be more fun as you can play on the same side, one character each!

The only time I play SFxT is either with my gf or when I meet up with friends, and in those situations, it's a great game.

SSF4AE, however, is a better game overall. There's far more meat on the bones for a gamer.

Might get that so. If I like it I'll pick up the arcade edition to play online myself, as you guys say it looks the better serious game.

You only need 6 buttons actually.

The rest are just macros.

There's literally nothing in the game you can't do without a combination of the 3 punch and 3 kicks, you can map more functions if you like though.

Most stick users don't though.

Rolento jab from +4 to 0 on block.

Based on what they said in the Evo Panel, this is pretty much the full list outside of glitch fixes.

Capcom are always prone to undocumented changes though.

I don't think it's fair to say that, vanilla to Super was a huge step towards balance, then people (including you I recall) moaned they wanted 3S style balance, got it in arcade edition, then moaned it was pants, and 2012 is IMO a very well balanced game again.

2012 balance rules!

I want to go back over the Evo archive and watch the top 8 SFxT matches to try and give the game a chance to change my mind about my dislike/disinterest.

First time I played Smash Bros Melee in a shop, I hated it for how different it was from Smash 64, but over time it's probably become my all-time favourite game.

I'd like to see if I can enjoy SFxT on it's own merits, as opposed to disliking how it's not SF4.

Oi, I never once asked for 3S balance! Hell, I still prefer AE Adon for his BS wake-up timing!

At best I would've been indifferent, because I knew we'd play it anyway.

*edit* D4RK_ONION is now off my Xmas list.

*edit edit*
3S "balance" is softened with parry anyway.

If the people working on this game think making a jab +0 on block is the way to fix it they understand even less about fighting game design than I thought.

The problem isn't jabs being plus on block, that's ridiculous. It's the lack of pushback and the fact that stand jabs hit crouching opponents universally.

It's not mentioned there but the pushback is also being increased, or so they said on the evo panel.

Everyone in the SFxT roster is getting tweaks whether it'll be buffs and nerfs.

I predict Lili getting nerfed hard and Asuka getting buffed a lot.

Thanks Mr.Saturn. So we should be able to get them next Wed then.

Can't wait for Dudley. This game needs Dignity. We should call this the Gentlemen's pack.
