Street Fighter IV producer: Console-specific characters 'not very fair'

Hello my friend, the word you seek is "spamming".

Also, if street fighter 4 is like 2 you will contend against many dhalsim spammers and they are the WORST spammers of all time. *shudder*

I rented SC4 and damn, it IS unbalanced. I stuck with offline modes only =/ Glad I didn't buy it. Also, I suck.

SF is a diff beast though, DO WAAAAAAAAAAAANT!

Yes, because move spamming of cheap attacks NEVER happens on Street Fighter, or any Capcom game. And Cable is a perfectly balanced character.

Seriously though, want to know how to avoid attack spammers? Boot them, simple enough. Tell them if they don't stop, you're kicking them. When they do it again, kick them. Same thing if someone picks the same character five times in a row in player matches.

SAME FOR ME!! I broke 2 controllers cause that game was so frustrating, I was forced to stop playing it, even though I love it, idk if I'll get this though, I never played street fighter b4 0_o

Ohh man, that reminds of a friend who would always use this really cheap hopping jab move by Ganryu in Tekken Tag. It was so cheap, yet so very funny to watch (if you weren't the opponent). He did it against one guy who got so pissed, he slammed down the controller and punched a hole in the wall!

Don't call things cheap and boot people because of that; first, it's poor sportsmanship, and second, it hinders the development of advanced tactics. It may seem broken or unbalanced now, but maybe you haven't learned to deal with it? I don't know much about Soul Calibur, but in MVC2 Cable has a really easy combo that most scrubs learning the game can do (AHVB); that doesn't really make him broken because once you get better, you learn to fight Cable and find out he's not the best character--just the best beginner's character. If anything, you should hate the game for allowing move spamming, not the player; if it's available, people should use it.

I agree with Jim, don't boot him just cause he spams moves, if anything you should boot yourself because you suck. Have you ever played Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, with a little annoying fucker named Original Sagat? Watch videos, it's all "Tiger" "Tiger", because he can cancel his kick into a fierce tiger shot. But guess what, doing this WINS. And after all, all that matters is the victory, and if you truly are "better", then you would find ways around the spamming and beat the spammer. Not saying that once you spam alot that means you're a spammer, not at all. Sometimes it's just how the character is used the best.
But, Cable is NOT a beginners best character. He's top 4 overall in MVC2 for a reason, Your opponent isn't going to just stand there and let him AHVB you. Overall cable needs learning just like any other character to use him when you CAN'T AHVB. Such as timing the AHVB against a HSF, when you don't have meter and still have to fight the opponent, or simply when there isn't an opening to use AHVB. In fact, despite how easy AHVB is to execute itself, "Good" cable players are pretty hard to find. The only ones that really come to mind are, Duc Do, Rowtron, Justin Wong and MAYBE cable guy.

I think you're good man.

OHHH YEAAA!

No dude.

Vega is my favorite character, PS3 needs him, and Cammy.

Definitely! =D

Agree

The way Soul Calibur 2 did it worked out well enough, and should have been emulated for Soul Calibur IV

Kratos and Master Chief (hey, MC makes as much sense as Vader/Yoda, and Kratos seems like a natural fit)

For the most part, console-only and console-specific characters are banned in competitive play for any game (whether they're broken or not). Most tourneys try to be as close to the arcade version as possible--this goes for port selection and character-banning.

There are many benefits to playing in the arcade
-Social setting
-Crowd watching
-Face-to-face with opponent
-Opponent less likely to be a douche when face-to-face
-No lag
-I play Third Strike online for Xbox, and the average quality of players isn't that good.

Of course, instead of arcades you can always check SRK and find a group near you that plays regularly, possibly in a lan center or someone's house. If you live in an area with active arcades though, those are the best places to find good competition; online play does not really compare. As for lag, anything above 17ms (1 frame) has the possibility to affect gameplay; think of all the traps in SF2 that require 1 frame chance to escape.
