lol the joke made perfect sense, its a new game with a new art style with OG characters. You're just way too dense. Anyway anyone else find the online in the PC version lacking in players? I keep playing the same people over and over again.

Don't put words in my mouth. It doesn't determine what they like, but it sure as hell has an effect on what they play regularly.

That's because the American Capcom community hates change. That's why 3s and MvC 2 are still in Evo despite being 10+ years old. Look at ST -> HDR, you think that went over well? Fuck no, niggas is salty. They're still salty about how Sirlin Turbo, but they play it anyway. Look at how many people are still playing 3s over SF4 because they truly think it's a better game, I'd wager that number is close to zero. Look at the people complaining about the lack of parries NOW, in the current day and age. They're all people that can't move past thinking that 3s is god's gift to fighting games whereas everyone else, even the OG 3s players have moved on. Not to mention that in June, 3s dropped to #10 on the Arcadia playlist. It's above TvC, but that's REALLY not saying much. I wouldn't really be surprised if it was gone from the top 10 entirely within the next few months, if not immediately after SBO is done.

I never did. Stop putting words in my mouth. ST and the other SF games don't get enough regular play to contend with 3s/SF4 because they're more niche games. ST is NOT easy to get into, and I doubt anyone is hype for CvS 2 nowadays.
Anyway, this topic is about SF4 and I couldn't give less of a shit about 3s. I was going to post a video of Eduardo's Boxer, but Mr. Wizard said that all Evo footage had to be removed from Youtube and some accounts got banned/locked, so I guess that's right out. Kinda weird that he left it until a couple days after the event and gave no warning, but oh well.

ST and SF are not played that often, because sf4 basically is a remake of those games (I know I'm generalizing here) and 3s is a different game from all other street fighter games.
CM, the reason a kara would be not worth doing even if you've mastered it is that the kara'd normal adds 2-3 startup frames to your throw. 5-6 frame startup throw loses to things that the normal 3 frame throw beats (like cr.jabs). Only when the distance gained is tremendous is it generally worth doing (think 3s chun / Q).
Take the talk of other games to the other thread dammit! (unless you're going to talk about alpha / cvs2. Even mentioning those games makes me yawn D: )

Dam those American and Japanese Capcom communities. They don't know what's good for them. They hate changes. Playing these crappy old games. Oh wait, this is a Starcraft forum.
If you don't like the games that's okay, but don't be telling the rest of us why we like it. It's insulting, ignorant, and arrogant.
