That is too much street fighter. And how is MVC2 seriously considered a tournament worthy game? I fail to see how something like that can be embraced by this scene, but Smash Bros cant. I guarantee Smash Bros Melee is far more balanced. I assume Brawl is too.

MVC 2 can be played competitively...as long as you use Magneto, Cable, and Sentinel :lol: . Definetly too much SF. They should take out SF4 and put in another game.

Hopefully I can head out there one day. I think I have somewhat of a shot at Blazblue. Could've faired well at Brawl also but I haven't played that in awhile so I lost my mojo.

Always a shame to have this much SF and no SNK fighters.

Yeah... WTF? No SNK?
Why not KOF 98' UM for PS2? The game has been revamped and balanced. Sure it's old but so is TS.

Yeah, the lack of SNK titles and a VF title bothers me. Especially considering they have Tekken 6. Since when has Tekken been a serious competitor to VF?

MvC2 has had a competitive scene since it came out on the Dreamcast, and Smash bros. isn't a competitive fighter, it's a party game.
