Fun With DLC - This Week: Crapcom

[Ghegs]

Let's not forget that Capcom lied when they said that the other characters weren't ready - until they were discoverd to be on the disc.

That is true, I forgot about that. I haven't followed the case that closely as I don't really play fighters. I imagine they severely underestimated their audiences' readiness and ability to go through the disc and just tried to bluff their way through. Had they presented the whole thing more honestly with a focus on improving compatibility and DLC-delivery-logistics, there might not be as big of a hubbub as there is now.

Watch this if you haven't played the game yet or watch it for the lulz

Lulz for dayz and dayz. The description was great, I totally thought he was serious until the end.

Aw man that was the best.

Just when I thought Capcom fighters couldn't get any worse.

I used to joke with my friends that Capcom would eventually release a turn based Street Fighter RPG with attacks selectable from menus, but seeing Ono's ideas on the future of fighting games (and how horribly dumbed down are right now) I think I wasn't so far from truth.

I just remembered that Capcom is the classy company that put suicide batteries into its arcade boards (CPS), and without telling arcade operators.

The music is much better in that game.

Oh, now I see why they can get money for DLC.

They need to balance the extra characters.

That can't be cheap to do

Someone needs to do a full-on fighter a la Pocket Fighters with the characters/sprites from Namco X Capcom.

Get on it Capcom.

From the comments:

I really like the level design in SFxT and have even said that I'd be willing to pay something for some extra stages because they're so well done imo.

Like I said before, you can't really blame the companies. Gamers will pay for absolutely anything.

Then you have old school guys like me who aren't willing to throw money at these companies. But I think the majority of gamers are willing to toss their money at these companies any chance they get

[Specineff]

Those comments can be from Capcom-sponsored sockpuppets, as they try to do some damage control. LOLZ.

Wait for it...

Wait for it...

Greatest thing to happen ever.

Wait for it...

SFxT's redeeming factor: amusing videos.

So, what's next for DLC? Having to pay to download bugfix patches?

Why does Mega Man look like a fat, ugly old man?

[Shelcoof]

Why does Mega Man look like a fat, ugly old man?

lol I think it's Capcom's way of getting back at Kenji Inafune for quitting and dissing Capcom.

[ryu]

it was actually inafune's idea. it's supposed to be the megaman from the old nes us boxart

[Friendly]

Yeah, I know, see my earlier post here: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.ph ... 70#p780170

But still. He's not fat and old on the NES box. Isn't Mega Man supposed to be a cyborg??

[ryu]

i think he's supposed to be the future version. like a "what if that old boxart was a photo and the model guy ended up becoming a fat man with no work?"

[Udderdude]

Trollnos gonna troll.

[Ruldra]

Wait for it...

Awesome

[shmuppyLove]

I can't tell what's supposed to be locked in SMB3 ?

[BareKnuckleRoo]

I can't tell what's supposed to be locked in SMB3 ?

Top right corner, the white mushroom house with the P-Wing has two locks blocking it (you normally have to make it appear by collecting every single coin in the autoscrolling stage 4).

Edit: wait, both the normal mushroom houses are greyed out now, lol

[shmuppyLove]

Here's another really funny SFxT video:

[Udderdude]

Replace every instance of "Locked" with "Fuck you" and you've got a much clearer picture.

WHERE'S THAT THREAD ABOUT HOW HORRIBAD SFxT IS?

Meh whatever

Edit: I don't know why I'm devoting any significant amount of brain power to this, but WWWWTTTTFFFFF are Mega Man, Pac-Man and whatever other Capcom and Namco characters in this game that aren't from Street Fighter or Tekken?? It's Street Fighter x Tekken. They did Namco x Capcom already, unfortunately as a shitty tactical RPG because the character roster was way better and it would have made the bestest fightan gaem evar since mugen. Namco went all the way back to 1985 for some characters.
