Board 8 > Can the (more) fighting game savvy people explain what happened with SFxT...

(+) Yeah! (+)

...on the professional scene? At first everyone seemed to love it, now it's being called a joke by everyone.

It's just boring to watch.

I've heard a lot of people just say that it should be a good game but it's missing some x factor that makes it not fun.

X factor, you say? :3

Ladders are a socially-acceptable way to reach your goals.

Personally, I think it's the biggest overreaction we've ever seen as a community.

Complaints about jab pressure, bugs, and infinites and all that are totally legit, but when it comes to stuff like the Evo ruleset, I just think they're going overboard and making a game they preemptively put on the main stage look like a f***ing circus act.

To summarize it:

The hypest moment in the first major tournament was when the Korean player, who didn't lose a single round, almost lost a round but survived because the time ran out.

Basically, there are so many crippling problems in which once you reach about 45 seconds on the timer (half the game time) then there's no chance of a comeback if you're down. Other issues are BS combos and glitches that make certain characters do high damage with dumb and easy mix ups.

And then Paul Phoenix is lowest tier.
