Capcom Fighting Evo Xbox Live

This comes out tomorrow, I am getting it just to support online 2-D fighting games.

Anyway I thought we could discuss tactics or set up online matches here in this thread.

I'll definitely be getting this. You up for some matches, kiun? Who do you plan on using. I'll probably be using a Ryu/Guile/Alex type of setup until I feel out other characters.

I think I am gonna use the Red Earth characters. Yeah I am up for some online matches, didn't have a chance to play this game yet so go easy on me.

Cool Combo vid here

By the way, is there a guide, and is it good ?

Holy Fashizzle!

Guess I'll be trading in the PS2 version and getting the Live one tommorrow.

I doubt it'll be in stores tomorrow.

More likely Wednesday.

I'll be getting it, and be playing online of course. I'll be using Guile at first. I only played this game maybe a half hour when I had it on PS2.

There is a guide, and it's done by the same people that did the SFAC guide. It's decent, I think. It has frame data.

Capcom EVO or SVC

hmmmmmm, I think I'll just go play some SF2: SCE on Sega Genesis, love the graphics & sound.

count me in (when i get back to germany that is). Be ready to see the most beastly Guy/Urien team you ever saw in your life.

Its on!

Ditto, maybe it will grow on me after that

Well, this one's kind of a stinker IMO, but I'll get it just to see how it plays on live I guess.

I think I'll wait for it to drop to 20 bucks.... seems to happen quickly these days. I wasn't thrilled with SVC or SF Anniversary on Xbox... I really wish they would re-draw the characters...its over due IMO.

Very true. Unfortunately, that usually takes an act of Congress when you're talking about Capcom.

yeah, I don't understand why they are willing to dump time into the backgrounds, but not the characters. There shouldn't be jaggys anywhere in this day and age....especially in a 2-d enviroment...the hardware exceeds the requirement by far.

Fighting games: gameplay>graphics

Evo: gameplay<most capcom fighters because it tries to cater to them all

The game doesn't suck but IMO opinion there are better titles online already.
Kiun what is the arcade buzz like on this one?

The game died in the arcade in about 4 months.

The game has strange pacing. I personally don't like it very much, but you'll have fun if you're playing on live.

I used to play Rose/Jedah/Ryu. I'll turn this on, give it another chance.... it might be better than I thought it was.

This game is trash.......

Yeah, it's not capcom's best, I don't like it either, but why do you think so?

It's fun at least, has some cool characters. The follow up (if Capcom ever makes one) might be really good.

I played it for a bit, and I disliked it.
May give it another try. Is it true that Akuma can parry
in this game, even though he's not on the 3rd Strike
side?

I kinda liked the Ninja, Kenji from Warzard/Red Earth. Pretty cool.

Personally, I think the pace of the game is a little off - feels a little too fast IMO, and a little jerky.

Also, I don't know why Capcom didn't just go the extra mile and put in more characters, since that's a large part of this game's appeal. Why only put in a few? Seems a little lazy.

100% agreed. It's like the combo system is old school jabs into supers and everything, but the feel is just a bit strange.

I bet this is the CvS1 syndrome, where the sequel will be massive. I don't think this game did very well though, so we may never see a sequel.

If there was ever a fighting game I would need pointers on, it would be this one. Oddly enough, my trouble is being anything but cannon fodder with the Red Earth characters. I mean, they seem both slow, not powerful, and seem to get eaten up by much of the "other game" cast, when I play them. The main exception is Kenji due to his manuverability, but even he pales to me playing just about anything not Red Earth. Leo is a real sore-spot for me, as I can't seem to find anything redeeming about him. I'll probably chalk this up for my lack of experience with these guys in comparison to everybody else, but I definitely need help with this guy if they really do have hidden features that make them good. The darkstalker characters seem to be the easiest to take a major chunk of damage off, for little effort, thanks to the chain combos and down attacks. The game might even be tiered towards them. Demitri is just plain evil, in this game. I just plain hate fighting against him because it's like going against a major Jam player in GGX1 but with a Capcom lifebar and damage system. It's almost unfair how he can press the attack with so little openings until he finds one thing you didn't block in what he throws at you, and it's combo heavy damage city. Especially since it doesn't matter what height he hits you, you're going to get the pain of his followups, plus a guarranteed down attack around every corner. Pyron loves exploiting the blue wheel of cheese, responsible for more high block damage deaths than anybody combined.

The game feels too slow to me.

Still it's decent, and a nice change of pace from SFAC.

I should learn Karin, she seems like she kicks ass easily.

I just played it for the first time today. Is Ryu top tier or something? I was tearing it up BADLY with him. If he gets you into the corner, it's like it's over. Ridiculously strong, nice chains, and has the ability to keep constant pressure like a bitch. I dig it, even if he doesn't have any sort of back/front dash. My only complaint (thus far) is the fact that people stay grounded longer than in other games. It really messes up the pace I'm used to crossing up grounded people and such.

the Darkstalker characters are supposed to be top tier.

HOWEVER GUY WILL BE THE SECOND COMING BIOTCHES!!

BUSHIN-RYU ALL UP IN THAT ASS!!!
