This is the sc2 stream, so put on sc2. Have a match between artosis and day9. Even if it's just one game, I am 1000000% sure that everyone would rather see that than street fighter. It isn't. This is the Dreamhack finals stream, for all games. | ||

There are tons of other amazing esports.Games like Quake and SSBM are so incredibly fast pace and require such precise control that it makes most control required in SC look silly (Quake also has a LOT of strategy, which outsiders don't seem to realize). Games like Counter Strike and LoL/HoN require five people to do the EXACT right thing. One person slipping up can lose the game, its dead impressive to watch top players go at it. All of these require different skill sets, all of them are amazing at the top level. The main thing I give SC over other esports is the viewer experience is much more refined. | ||

Seems kinda cheap to me :l No; its a valid strat, it does low damage but keeps the opponent away if you want to chip his health down but if he gets to close and you try to "fireball" he might be so close that he can get in an air attack on you and then start a combo which means you lose a lot of life because you didnt position yourself good enogh so its a very tactical game even though it may not be easy to see | ||

Not that SF4 is, but to say it's equally as complex or compelling would be lying to yourself. | ||

We played an entire night, he was piss drunk, beat me 120-16 I played Tekken 3 a lot before that. Didn't help. To add insult to injury, the guy only has one hand.. So, no, it's not mashing... :S One hand? Holy fuck! :D | ||
