Getting into fighters

Actually I'm going to give the hori stick a shot. It's nearly impossible to get certain moves right with a d-pad even with all the shortcuts. How am I supposed to pull off this one move in Virtua Fighter 2 that requires K+G be pressed and then guard let go while keeping the other held down? These buttons are usually far apart and a shortcut wouldn't cut it. It's impossible for the button layout to be a hinderance on the arcade stick as it is in the pad. No need for shortcuts. I can get accustomed to it, as so many fighting champs are used to the stick anyway, so why can't I?

We all have our guilty pleasures. I've spent more time with pirated NES Mortal Kombat II than I'd like to admit.

Or Kart Fighter. :lol:

So I bought Fighting Vipers last night on PSN. This game is better than I remember, owing a lot to the Virtua engine. I used to use Picky, but have since switched to Bahn, because while Picky certainly has charm as a character, Bahn is more powerful and balanced. He's basically Viper's equivalent to Akira, who I normally use on Virtua Fighter.

Did anyone ever notice the inconsistent art styles in Capcom vs. SNK 2? I absolutely despise the way they just copied and pasted graphics from previous games and threw them together with no regard for consistency or a uniform style. It reminds me of a bad MUGEN game.

See also Capcom Fighting Evolution/Capcom Fighting Jam. I tend to think those low effort fighter releases were a result of the genre dying along with arcades.

The reason why I don't like this game. Half of the sprites is from Alpha series, badly resised for 4:3, another half is new beautiful sprites.

Those were dark times, Capcom was trying to squeeze the last drops from 2D fighters back then. Like Benjamin said we got Capcom Fighting Jam.
Damn shame what happened, CvsS1 was a good game, but then with CvsS2 Capcom embraced the cheap look of 3D backgrounds and it all went to hell.
