Mogged by Alpha 3

>>10009907
I just don't like that the characters look like midgets compared to SF3

Best fighter ever made (or kof 98)

>>10009907
Alpha 3 for DC is just better though. It was the formula perfected with nothing lost.

What's wrong with you?

>>10009907
Presentation is great and gameplay is really fun, but the balancing is a bit off, while the game isn’t awfully balanced the worse characters are just weaker redundant version of the top tiers, at least in ST every character had a unique game plan and ways of achieving it.

>>10009920
Alpha 3 is a very different game doe in terms of gameplay, they don’t play alike at all. I prefer alpha 3 but it’s very different and also a lot buggier

>>10009907
>SF Alpha 2 is literally perfect.
Then why did Capcom release an updated version called Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha?
Have you ever been on the receiving end of a Valle CC?

>>10010446
Please, tell me who plays similar to Gen.

>>10010459
Nobody plays Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha seriously. Vanilla is a better game

>>10010534
Not play similar but has a similar game plan, why play gen and build 2 bars for your main conversion when Sakura can do it without spending any meter and keep it for CC
> but muh recovery cancellable sweep for footsies

Sakura st hk is still just an upgrade in terms of footsie tools, I play a lot of gen but in terms of efficiency, anything gen does, Sakura does better and this is echo’d in the entirety of alpha 2. Even though the balance is solid it’s problem with the low tiers is either redundancy or shit straight up not working

>>10010459
>Have you ever been on the receiving end of a Valle CC?
I play with my bros, not FGC faggots

>>10009920
Alpha 3 is late 90's, plays less like a classic SF game and its presentation is awful.

>>10010564
So your opinion is irrelevant then, got it.

>>10010564
holy based

>>10010415
The isms are fucking gay and anti fun.

>>10010576
I'll say!
https://youtu.be/cH4j5NiJAiE?t=140

>>10010576
>anti fun
Who's preventing you from having fun? Sounds like you don't even play these games

>>10010602
>Who's preventing you from having fun?
ME.
And I noticed you opened the new orange juice before finishing the old orange juice.

>>10010604
There’s just a little bit left in the bottom, you expect me to drink that backwash?

>>10010553
>Nobody plays Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha seriously.
Because people are sheep and just play whatever they are "supposed" to play.
>Vanilla is a better game
No one knows since Zero 2 Alpha receives little competitive play.

>>10010564
Valle CC's are piss easy to do.

>>10009920
3 is another genre

>>10010553
>Vanilla is a better game
[citation needed]
I've never read a real break-down of why the changes are for the worse.
Your favorite character getting nerfed isn't a compelling argument.
It's literally a case of that meme of "it's bad because... it just is okay?!"

>>10010743
Not him but Z2A is broken af

>>10010415
>Alpha 3
Is farther from classic SF gameplay, more broken, and has shitty presentation. Also having to choose between super combos and custom combos instead of having both is meh.
>for DC
Awful awful port. Alpha 3 by itself, despite my points above, is still a 9.0/10 game. Dreamcast port is barely 7.5.

>>10010651
The literal reason why no one plays street fighter 2 hyper fighting despite being the objective best street fighter

>>10011150
Once again, no actual explanation. Tell me exactly why it is broken. Show me footage of someone using these broken functions to win matches.

>>10009920
Based

>>10011974
Lmao, good luck finding high level matches of that version. Nobody played it back then and nobody plays it now.

>>10011974
I doubt you'll get a straight answer out of that anon. I did manage to find this FAQ that might answer your questions:

https://slateman.net/faqs/sfz2afaq.txt

I can't vouch for it personally as I've never played any version of the game.

I only play old fighting games by myself now but I enjoy them greatly. I know it’s not the same as playing with others but I have a great time with them. I will probably get into fightcade once I finish going back to school, but for now they’re a sort of comfort food for me.

>>10012165
The best way to play fighting games is locally with your friends. Fuck online and fuck sweaty FGC.

>>10009907
First time I played it was after getting an emulator and downloading a bunch of games. I saw that Alpha 3 had a bigger roster and I liked its music better, so I just played that instead. Also, vanilla doesn't have Cammy, so I didn't play it for that reason. By the time I had Gold, it was 2008 and I'd still rather play Alpha 3 at that point because then I had Upper. I dodge all SF games that lack Cammy.

>>10009907
Based, this was the best pure SF game and the last relevant one of the classic era before arcades switched to rhythm and redemption machines and ppl switched over to Marvel VS games. Never seen an Alpha 3 or 3rd Strike machine in my life when they were new.

>>10012556
why did they make the samurai a homosexual?

Best stages in a street fighter game too.

>>10012564
They decided they need a character you would be able to relate to.

>>10010568
shit taste

Vampire Savior is better but yeah Alpha 2 is up there

>>10012564
Poison is dna XX female in Japan.

>>10013046
the samurai is named Sodom- as in sodomy- as in sodom and ghomorah

>>10013126
There was a japanese post-punk band named Sodom.
https://youtu.be/cXIv5ReVUpI

>>10013174
hmmm interesting

>>10012110
Almost every change in that sounds to the good imo.

>>10010415
Alpha 3 is just not as good. And its music and announcer suck ass.

>>10009920
Alpha 3 is kusoge

>>10010564
Oh, so you don't actually play fighting games
Cool

>>10013321
You opinion is garbage
Across the board these changes make the game less fun to play

>>10012517
t. scrub

>>10013041
Vampire savior is a dogshit game for ADHD-addled old heads

>>10013527
Cringe. Go back to fgc reddit

>>10013531
>people love CCs and zero counters, let's nerf them to the ground
Capcom, probably

>>10009907
hey lads. how do i play sf3 3rd strike without the niggernoise soundtrack?

i still want the rest of the sound effects, obvs

>>10013662
The soundtrack is great, it's only the intro and the player selection that use hip hop.

>>10013675

nah, its mostly utter trash.

i have a rom that claims to be 'no bgm', but i can't get it to boot

any tips?

>>10013680
Shit taste

>>10013686

ur mom

>>10013680
one of the worst opinions i've seen on /vr/ in a while. cheers

>>10013535
lol, get good.

>>10013680
What would you prefer, chiptunes or nerdcore rap? Maybe breaking Benjamin?

>>10012567
That is a nice looking stage but CVS1 has the very best in all of fighting games.

>>10014086
I am good. I'll smoke you with random select. Still a dogshit game.
Fightcade, 7 PM PST. Say you're from /vr/ in the chat and I'll send the challenge. Do it or you're a bitchmade faggot.

>>10013662
The ingame OST is entirely white people music

>>10014327
lol, like I will put up with your khv schedule. I'm busy during the week, boy, I have important things in my life, and you are not one of them.
But, I could have fun humiliating you next sunday, 12PM PST.

>>10014339
Confirmed bitchmade faggot. Bet you wouldn't even show on Sunday.
Everyone has important shit, you're not special. Regardless, virtually any working adult can free up 20 minutes on a weekday evening for some diversion or other. You'd know this if you weren't a neet larping as someone whose life has value
I'll be there tonight at 7 either way. Come get your scrub ass beat by half the cast. Or be a coward. Doesn't really fuckin matter, and it doesn't change the fact that vampire savior is kusoge.

>>10014394
>if you don't accomodate to my NEET schedule, you're a faggot
Not how it works, khv.
I'll be there on Sunday, get your ass ready.

>>10014394
>>10014403
>fgc faggots in a nutshell
You fags ruined the genre for everyone

>>10014403
>NEET schedule
>7PM-10PM on a weeknight
Larping neet confirmed. Enjoy pretending to be someone whose death might actually matter to someone somewhere.
Tonight or you're a bitchmade faggot. Come get shit on.

>>10014459
Yeah, imagine I will stop my actual life (yes, I do have one between 7PM and 10PM) to meet some internet nerd online. Fuck you. Sunday, and you will never get laid, ever.

>>10014417
>wahhhh other people I don't have to interact with play the game in ways I don't like! wahhhh game ruined
You're retarded.

>>10014462
>larping neet pretending to be astoundingly busy on a Monday evening
>while posting on 4chan during what would be work hours
Tonight or you're a bitchmade faggot

>>10014478
>>while posting on 4chan during what would be work hours
Precisely, NEET. I'm at work, so I can waste some time on 4chan. When I'm not at work, I don't want to give some nerd my time, I have important things to do, such as enjoy real life, something you wouldn't understand.
Sunday, what, you will die before Sunday? Bitch.

>>10014484
You are not at work. You do not have a job. You have never had a job, nor a "life" as you describe. If you did, you'd know how absurd it is to pretend to be booked solid 24/7 for six days straight, four of them work nights.
You are clearly dogshit at the game and ducking. You are bitchmade. You are a faggot. Nothing you have ever done in life has ever mattered to anyone anywhere. You will die alone and afraid, frustrated and unfulfilled.
Vampire Savior is kusoge for retards who want to press buttons as fast as possible.

>>10014510
>booked solid 24/7 for six days straight
I mean, it's not that I'm "booked solid", just that I don't feel like giving you my free time whenever you want. I am the one who will decide that, and I decided it will be on Sunday, I'm giving you the honor of being able to spend time with me, not the other way around, parasite.
Your projection about me not having a job and stuff is pretty sad.

>>10014539
What a bunch of weird insecure nonsense.
Enjoy being a bitchmade faggot. I'll be there tonight if you manage to find your nuts.
Bye.

>>10014510
If you work in a chemical plant and you’re on turnaround you can be doing 13 on 1 off, and those are 12-16 hour days, so you literally have no idea what you’re talking about fag. If you work at the dock you might have 4 barges back to back all that need treatment like H2S scavenger, pour point diesel, dye for red diesel, demulsifier for opportunity crude, whatever, you could also easily do that time frame or longer.

>>10014542
lol I'll be out having brunch with a girl today, while you will be online waiting for me.
Sunday, faggot. Wait 6 days.

>>10014547
>brunch
>on a weekday evening
At least get better at making shit up, damn

>>10014546
If you work any of those jobs you're not dicking around on 4chan during work hours

>>10014570
>everyone live in the same timezone
do NEETs really?

>>10014574
>check pump rate and sight glass once an hour, which takes 5-10 minutes, record, go sit back down

It’s crazy how wrong you are repeatedly, keep it up

>>10014579
There is no timezone that exists where one is at work right now and is having brunch in 9 hours.
Bitchmade larping neet faggot is exposed and nothing can save him.

>>10014582
>get shit on by co-workers for being on a faggot anime board
If you'd ever actually worked a plant job you would have known about this part

>>10014594
lmao

>>10014603
Nobody gives a fuck in the control room what you’re doing on your phone as long as you aren’t plastering anime boobs all over your screen, plenty of zoomer operators are obsessed with anime and games, once again it’s incredible how wrong you are I think you’re 0 for 3 now? Let’s go for 4.

>>10014627
It's hilarious that you think larping as someone with a job that I've actually held proves me wrong somehow. Go play make-believe elsewhere

>>10014603
>get shit on by co-workers for being on a faggot anime board
I'm sorry your (fictitious, in-your-head) work mates are so shitty. I watch anime with my co-workers, and those who don't care about anime don't bother us. Actually, us folk who like anime are the most "normie" ones, ironically, lol. The ones who don't like anime are the more shy, nerdy types.

>>10014636
You’ve been getting dunked on all thread, I accept your concession though we should go back to discussing games.

>>10014646
I accept that you are completely deluded and live in a fantasy world that does not align with reality whatsoever.
Anyone who wants the smoke knows where and when. Anyone else is a bitchmade faggot. Vampire Savior is kusoge.

>>10013531
I get it. You love broken kusoge.
I prefer actually good games like Zero 2 Alpha.

>>10014654
>>10015339
you will never know what sex feels like. and you also don't play video games, not properly, anyway.

>>10013562
I hate CC's dominating any game.
Zero counter should probably do more damage than it does for needing half your whole meter tho.

>>10015345
I'm not involved in whatever retardation you and that other anon have been engaging in.
But did anything actually happen on Sunday? Not reading all that shit.

>>10009920
Yeah if everyone just agrees to not use V-Ism, otherwise the game is basically unplayable.

On a competitive level, Alpha 2 is better, it simply can't be compared, the Isms in Alpha 3 break the game. Alpha 3 however, if playing at home and not in the arcades, is a much more complete experience for your buck.

>>10015339
You never played Alpha 2 or Zero 2 Alpha. Larp elsewhere

>>10015509
okay kid

>>10013535
>>10014394
I can dumpster you if you want to embarrass yourself, if you're who I think you are I already have before. I feel a little bad picking on the /vr/ casuals like yourself but I don't mind free wins against a shitter.

>>10015581
>I am correct in this argument about which game is objectively better designed because I am better at playing the games I prefer (and I will win by using the most exploitative methods which have been severely criticized)
There's like a half dozen fallacies to unpack here. Wew lad.

>>10009907
To be honest I always forget the Alpha games exist, but 2 was a lot of fun. 3 had more stuff so it should have been superior, but it felt wrong.

>>10015620
I'll play Anakaris, the worst character in the game who can't even throw, if you want. If you're too scared to get exposed I get it though, probably not used to people calling your bluff to play. I don't need to "exploit" anything to beat someone on your level, your mindless mashing is pretty easy to beat really.

>>10013680
>utter trash
A missed opportunity of this magnitude ought to be illegal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PVxDJvzsFs
FYI, stop the video after the second voice clip. That last one is awful.

>>10015581
When where and how is already in the thread. You won't be there, of course, since you're just some random faggot who can't play the game looking to stir up shit
>>10015641
Play your main, on the off chance you actually do show up I don't want any retarded excuses for why you got bodied

>>10015716
Tonight at 7? I should be around, I can play now if you've decide to stop being a bitch and pretending you can play.
>Play your main
You're not worth the effort.

>>10015726
I am unsurprised that you have several hours of your time with which you having nothing better to do.
Play your main. If you choose not to, that's on you and I don't give a fuck about the excuses you'll make after I 10-0 you, there will be no run back.
Not that you're actually going to show. There is a small group of people who are actually as good at vsav as you're pretending to be, and I know all of them, and none of them post here.
I look forward to your no-show.

>>10015743
>"I hate this game, it's for ADHD mashers"
>"I know the entire community though"
Lol, this dyne?

>>10015756
When you go to majors you get to know people. Vsav has a microscopic community, like all kusoge that don't feature marvel characters

>>10015759
Ah, so you mashed at a major once or twice and think you know how to play, got it.

>>10015759
>>10015765
Are you two going to play, or not? All this posturing is fucking gay.

>>10015771
I'm ready to play him right now but he supposedly only has enough time to sit here and pretend to be an oldhead but not to actually play.

>>10015765
Try perennial top 8 when I bother to show up for the bracket
I'd say I look forward to teaching you something but we both know you're not gonna show, so

>>10015774
I told you when I'm playing. If you're this butthurt by how I kill time in an Uber you won't be emotionally able to handle the mix that's coming.
See you at 7 (even though I probably won't)

>>10015776
>>10015779
Four hours, I'll be there, make sure not to conveniently disappear.

>>10015774
>>10015779
Will one or either of you stream? I'm very interested in seeing the results.

For me it's Night Warriors

>>10015789
I'm not, but if you have FC2 downloaded you can spectate matches as long as you have the rom for the game. Just click the match you want to watch and a window with it pops up.

>>10015803
I downloaded it just for this match. Looking forward to it.

>>10015641
lol I was actually talking about the Alpha games and got some posts mixed up.
I'm not even that anon you have this beef over Vampire with.

>>10015803
We taking bets on this?

Make sure you fags (the people fighting) post a link. I got beer women and clown on the way over for this shit!

>>10015803
https://live.fc2.com/en/

This?

>>10015920
Yes, and this will help you set it up effortlessly.

https://lofi.netlify.app/post/fc2-json-pack-auto-download-roms-from-fightcade-2/
Just join a room and it'll download the rom. You can only be in 3 rooms max, so you'll join, wait for download, then leave for it to fully download multiples. Enjoy!

>>10015940
Sweet and thank you, what’s the time frame on this match like 2 hours?

>>10016128
I'm the guy who challenged him, he said 7 pst so I'm going to log into the lobby as "anonfromvr" in around 80 min as or so, assuming he'll show up.

>>10016181
Based, I bet he won't show up, it's just a schizo. Calling vsav a kusoge lmao

>>10015795
I don't feel like the last installments did the series the justice it deserved. It even gave the game inferior backgrounds.

>>10015940
got it all set up and ready to LETSSSS GOOOOO!

Challenger here, I'm there now. Already said it but obviously I'm "anonfromvr".

>>10016350
i didnt see u, is this just vampire savior? Im in the two biggest lobbies for that. Im the anon w the clown.

>>10016354
never mind, see u now. Hopefully he shows!

>>10016354
Vampire Savior, FC2.

>>10016361
if the roms work i may just challenge u w a keyboard and mouse so u get at least one match in. Im Aedan in there.

Can't believe this guy kept trying to claim I wouldn't show only to disappear. I'll give him another 10 min but it's looking like another loser who was all talk.

>>10016394
I think ur winner by default, what do i do w this clown now tho?

Si the guy saying Vsav is kusoge didn't show up?

>>10016610
Yeah, gave a specific time he would play at then never showed up.

>>10016621
Kek it was kind of obvious he was a shitposter.
Silly khv.

>>10016629
Well this motivated me to download fightcade so I’m very happy this happened. Just saddened he didn’t show

>>10016394
>>10016354
>>10016358
Can't believe this dumb faggot is actually samefagging to support the lie that he showed up. I was in the vsav lobby all night taking heads, your clown ass never showed. Bitchmade.

>>10010449
>doe
Opinion discarded

>>10015370
This. Alpha 2 had actual scene, Alpha 3 is the game that most discovered with emulation or home ports. Capcom knew that by 1998 classic 2D fighter was dead so they tried more flashy and over the top stuff with their games.

For me, its Chun and Charlie

>>10016806
lol, you are pathetic, and a khv forever.

>>10016950
She looks like a koala bear

>>10017481
I like how Capcom made the Alpha series look like Bengus artwork instead of going for generic anime look.

>>10017471
Nobody knows or cares what that dumb acronym means, bitchmade faggot
Fact is nobody came to get the smoke

>>10016806
>he pussied out

AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

WHAT A FUCKING FAGGOT!

HE TALKED ALL THAT SHIT AND HE PUSSIED OUT!! WHAT A STUPID ZOOMER FAGGOT!

>>10017512
Yup it's embarrassing. Talking bout "free wins" and "its not worth the effort to use my main" until it's time to nut up and then homie was nowhere

>>10017509
>>10017512
>>10017846
The other guy was online on fightcade, you weren't, guy who said Vsav is kusoge.
You're an eternal khv.

>>10017896
Utter bullshit, I was in the lobby all night and they never showed. I guess I'm not surprised that you're dumb enough to fall for all the samefagging, cowards are usually pretty stupid

>>10010415
>What's wrong with you?
It's commonly agreed that SF Alpha 2 is the better game.

>>10010415
Alpha 2 is a better game. Only casuals prefer Alpha 3

Just answer me /vr/, which version of Alpha 3's World Tour is better?

>>10018150
PSP imo

>>10009920
Alpha 3 is not even a Street Fighter game when you get down to it. Completely different game

>>10018160
It's more a Street Fighter game than SF6 is but yeah, A2 is better

>>10018384
SF6 is street fighter, you're probably just bad at it and coping

>>10018160
>>10018384
I'd argue the only SF game that isn't a SF game is New Generation, and that's because it was never meant to be one to begin with.

>>10018434
Why do people keep regurgitating this reddit-tier nonsense
SF3 was always going to be a street fighter game, Ken and ryu were never excluded from the initial roster
Did you know gaming and other "tee hee secrets of gaming" media are not reliable sources for anything

>>10017965
People were literally in the lobby waiting for you two to play with the one guy posting he was there, nice damage control but if you want to shitpost about fighting games keep it to /fgg/.

>>10018454
It was one dude samefagging to make it look like he had witnesses. Not surprised so many of you were stupid enough to fall for it
Again, I was in the lobby all night, and he never showed. That's the simple truth of the matter

>>10018679
There were multiple people here at 7 pm est. If you really were in the lobby, you would have come here to ask why the other guy wasn't showing up, but it was the other way around.
You can away, and now you are trying to shamelessly save ass.
This settles the "Vsav si kusoge" autism. You have no saving grace. You are a failure, even at shitposting.

>>10019302
>There were multiple people here at 7 pm est
There was one dude here pretending to be multiple dudes.
>If you really were in the lobby, you would have come here to ask why the other guy wasn't showing up
Maybe that's what some weird obsessive faggot like you would do. I was playing games on fightcade and watching the lobby for homeboy to declare himself. He never did, because he wasn't there.
You can tell yourself whatever little story you need to believe I guess, but the fact is, I was in the lobby all night getting games and that dude never showed up. He punked out just like I knew he would

>>10009920
Mogged by retail exclusivity.

>>10019393
lol

>custom combo activation is done with two punches and a kick
This shit drives me crazy, why couldn't it just be like the punch and kick of the same strength?

>>10019834
What's the problem with pushing one more button?

>>10010607
If you would pour it into a glass instead of setting your fat lips on the bottle there would be no backwash. >[
