General Discussion / Re: Bug, infinites, and balance issues and what we should do about it.

Not sure where that came from anyway. Because the scrubs will complain about infs in MvC2 too. The reason Marvel gets played are numerous; Made by Capcom, Marvel license, easy to pick up and play, fanboys, its been played for about a decade. Your analogy is pretty flawed.

I have no clue what you took from my argument but I was pointing out that people played MvC2 regardless of its flaws but those same people(even the ones who know how to play the game well) from what I've seen in random threads in SRK bash KOF games for their infinites and random bugs.  I was saying that this mentality of being loyal to a certain game brand is what is hindering the USA snk scene.

What analogy did you think I was making because I don't see how it applies to what you just said?

Oh. My mistake then - I thought you were making a comparison between how Marvel gets played and applied it to KOF in respect to the US. I see now you meant it a bit differently; agreed.

I think it's far simpler than you think; the reason why kof isn't as popular is due to accessibility and cultural preferences. Nothing to do with how we feel about the actual hand. We're getting off topic now.

Let's also keep the hostility/tone down.

I was alluding to this. Capcom is practically a namebrand for US, especially Street Fighter and other franchises like MegaMan. SNK...no, not nearly as much. I'd expect to see MvC3 on the boxes of cereal before I see Terry Bogard.

Also SNK products seem a bit more under the radar compared to Capcom ones over here.

And BTW, 'they' don't take the US seriously not because of this stuff, they don't mainly because the US isn't that great at KOF. =/

One reason the US snk scene is lacking is because so many morons go on playing MvC2 and yet bash kof because of a kof video showing an infinite... like seriously?  You would think they'd be complaining that the game didn't have enough infinites.

Well, I've never really heard of anything like that. I've heard of various reasons KOF hasn't caught on here, but that wasn't one of them.

*Scratches head*

How exactly is Mature juggling you for free after one EX move (a brainless infinite at that) balancing anything? Or Takuma gaining meter like that?

I don't think anyone is arguing that glitches are inherently bad or something that must always be removed. But if they don't add anything worthwhile to gameplay they should be gotten rid of. I think that's one of the big issues with some fighting games as they developed personally. People thought just because a glitch or something to circumvent the system was found, it was always "good" and "made the game deeper".

I think removing those things is a great start. I am somewhat curious why they didn't tweak stuff like raiden's kick a bit, but I think this is going in the right direction.
