COMIC-CON 2010: CAPCOM ANNOUNCES STREET FIGHTER X TEKKEN, SF3 ONLINE EDITION

[zos'la]

SSF4...
SFxTek
and maybe MVC3...

too many games and you will suck at them all, unless you are not the competitive type and just play for fun^^ then u can have them all

[CrazyMobius]

Al depends on what limit you set for yourself. If someone wanted to be the top in New Zealand at all those games and set their mind to it there's no reason they couldn't achieve it.

[zos'la]

oh yeah true..then again I'll see that person sleeping in the gutter or even worst, right outside Yifans.
hahahhaha

be realistic, you dun have the time\ money for something like unless you have no life.

[CrazyMobius]

As soon as you think something can't be done you've already made that the limits of your reality.

Of course there is, try:
Somebody else has it set in their mind to be the best at just ONE of those games, therefore he can allocate more time to improving on his one game.

And as Andy mentioned, people who don't have to go to work everyday have more time on their hands by comparison to those that do.

[Lennysaurus]

Meh I don't necessarily agree that you have to spend your life on something to be good at it.

All the best players in NZ have jobs/uni etc.  Not like they just sit around practicing street fighter all day.  If you really think about it, the guys that are the best in NZ play just as much, if not less than most here.  Don't get me wrong but the amount of practice you get is important, but it needs to be balanced with the "way" you practice.  Loads of us around here don't practice in the right way imo.

LOL I didn't have a job for a whole year last year and I wasn't the best street fighter player haha.  Man I really hope this builds our community more having all these new fighter's though.  So fucking hyped for MVC3 atm.

[moose!]

^Agree

It will probably mean more people stick to learning just one character/team and their matchups in each game though, which I personally think is actually pretty sweet.

[moose!]

And LOL @ the 21 page thread that exploded in the 3S section on SRK about balance changes for online edition.

[CrazyMobius]

Of course there is, try:

Or you could see all of those games just as parts of the same game. What I'm saying is as soon as you say something can't be done you are limiting yourself.

[HoneyBadger]

lol @ the huge assumption of time = skillz

its called knowing and setting your limits, you will lose a lot of precious time and your family will be pretty sick of ya I'm talking about your woman mainly that is if they have one...
Your point I get and that is teh same as " I am unable to beat this person" in some game, be realistic with life as it can't just revolve over gaming even tho it is your hobby, you must have a good balance.

Personally for the last 2-3 weeks, I prolly only played 3-5 hours MAX, as I am busy with life and work, but I still want to keep that balance and not dull my skills and experience too much. But imagine you try doing that for what? 4-5-6? fighting games... good luck lol.

Generally time invested in something helps you improve, or keeps you fresh, but that doesn't mean he who spends the most time is more skilled, obviously.
With fighting games, it's pretty rare for a newer player to dominate somebody who has played for a long time.
Even with seasoned players, those who spend time playing\training\seeking good opponents\studying-reading tend to take the wins over those who don't (Groundbreaking stuff, definitely worth posting)
Of course like Lenny mentioned you don't have to spend your life on something to be good at it, some players are more talented than others etc.

Irrelevent topic anyway, my reply to Simon was more driven at the fact that despite what most people THINK they are capable of, generally they can\could be doing ONE thing better than they could with say four.
You could spread your butter perfectly across one piece of toast, or attempt to spread that same amount of butter across four pieces of toast to a lesser degree.
Alternatively.. If one person said he would like to win EVERY games tournament at Evolution or SBO in that years event. It is common sence that individuals aiming to win just one game each have the advantage. Huge assumption.

Although I do agree with you Crazy, saying or thinking something can't be done is definitely limiting yourself. But in my opinion it's also the difference between reality versus head in the clouds daydreaming.

We have like a billion examples of the opposite in our communirty.

[zos'la]

Skullator is on point, reality is harsh, no matter how you dream and wish for, some things you must face teh fact that it maybe a dream come true. I am not saying to limit yourself, but to understand what can be done and what maybe a dream which you still maybe able to achieve but mostl unlikely due to obstacles in life itself.
Coz I can say, I will be a billionare by teh age of 30.
Here I am trying my hardest in my career and any other possible way to get rich, but in reality, how likely is this?
So again being realistic in life itself.

Remember that some games the fundamentals can cross over rather nicely
Jwong is a good example
he does/has done really well in 3s, mvc2, sf4, cvs, tvc and ST

So some games you can practice for multiple games and it can be beneficial
