Haven't messed with the online myself, but I heard about that. Everyone I've talked to has complained about that nonsense. I'm surprised it was a rollback netcode, except they fucked it up.

RIP Capcom Fighting Games (1992-2012)

[Saitsuofleaves]

Why do they deserve to RIP?  There are some things that deserve to suffer postmortem.

It's pretty obvious that, at least on the Capcom Japan front, they half-assed on everything people asked for just so they can say they did it.

I'd rather see RIP NEW Capcom (2009-2012).

Early to mid-90s Capcom is still vintage fighting.

To get rid of NEW Capcom would be to get rid of old Capcom because god knows no one these days bothers to play the older games for various reasons.

To get rid of NEW Capcom would be to get rid of old Capcom because either has yet to learn how to make a popular game complete without upgrading it a year or two later

My take on your quote Saitsu. But at least old Capcom had more quality and likability.

[Saitsuofleaves]

Debatable honestly.

DC raid on capcoms office next week?

360/Anti-DLC groups have that reserved. Maybe next month.

Nope, Megaman Fanboys have a huge raid for then.

Main reason is because they're friggin' lazy and want an I Win button...

This too... Cashcom sees how "lazy" the majority of the new addition of the FGC is, and they capitalize on it... Look how long most people took to finally get on something other than SF4 and onto KOF, because they got fed up with the non-sense... I got a few people on Battle Fantasia, and some interest in VF, and after breaking some history and game system info down for these cats they're saying things like "Why didn't I play this game before???"... I'll stop there, 'cause this joint can get ridiculously long, so I'll save it for another post...

But yeah, S.I.P. (suffer in pain) to New capcom, but at the same time, part of old capcom is why they're like this now... Remember the oversaturation of fighters on both psx and dc??? Don't ya wish time machines (or "sliders") existed???

I dunno... I give up on them...

[LouisCipher]

I wonder how different fighters and Capcom would be if they released Street Fighter 3 instead of Super SF2...

[Saitsuofleaves]

Dunno.  There's no guarantee that SF3 would've been anything like the SF3 we would end up seeing. 

If anything, it's likely that if SF3 didn't do that well, Capcom would've just gotten out of the FG market altogether.

[LouisCipher]

Well, I mean the original SF3 with T-Hawk, Cammy, Fei, and Dee Jay. They were originally part of an entirely cast for SF3 but Capcom wanted to beat Mortal Kombat at the arcade and demanded the completed characters shoved in SF2.

An SF3 with those characters on CPS2 would've been interesting. A lot of casuals (myself included) were sick of just getting updates and wanted real sequels.
