Have you played guilty gear before? One character (Eddie) makes heavy use of negative edge.

I've read KOFXII described as a KOF for those who never have played KOF before.

Personally I like small rosters, and would have loved to see a MOTW2.

Firenze, is the netcode worse than XBLA.98UM/MOTW?

I played 54 ranked games of SFIV and have not won ANY of them. :(

As a novice, mechanically SFIV seem to impose a strong defensive approach especially when you are playing a non-shoto character. You have to be very mindful at all times.

Basic moves seem to be less effective, since their ranges are very varied and non standard from one character to another. Especially when I compare it to my favorite game, MOTW where although basic moves are different they share a lot of similarity and where you have a universal "overhead move".

I am also surprised a lot by the verticality of SFIV and the whole cross-up game is something I do not see as important in SNK fighters.

That's the combination of damage reduce logic w/ an infinite combo bug.

Videos of some money matches and tournaments from the same event I posted a video for.

(Three tournaments: 2 vs 2, "master series" and solo sfiv, the later won by fuudo against umehara, umehara coming from the loser brackets after his loss against a rose player)

Apparently there was also the first time the japanese players had their hands on ssiv, unfortunately the feedback there is audio only. I might make a transcript if it's any good: http://basgrospoing.fr/2010/03/exclu-une-grosse-dose-dinfos-sur-ssfiv/

Yeah I'm actually somewhat more interested in first to X matches than straight elimination tourneys. Especially after seeing the latest godsgarden' matches. The depth of understanding a player has really shows much more in such challenges.

I think we can all pretend sf vs tekken never existed like most non-american can pretend marvel vs capcom never existed ;)

Not liking very much the counterpicking / blind selection aspect of north american competitions.
