ssf4 vs mk9

Re: sss4 vs mk9

People spam just as much if not more in MK because the specials in MK are more spamable than SF. In MK almost everyone has an easily spamable projectile and/or a teleport. A lot of specials in SF are physical attacks. The comments about the communities is 100% FALSE! The SF community is much more respectable than the MK communities. When I play MK9 online 99% of the time people are trying their hardest to be a complete prick just to win. Such as spamming Kano's upball, using Kung Lao and Raiden, spamming Sheeva's tele-stomp, etc. I also got hate messages very often from people so I was forced to turn on my privacy settings to avoid those people. When I play SSFIV online, people actually try to win legit, and are respectable. Just because people Hadouken a lot doesn't mean it's bad. It's called ZONING!

Also there is no way that SF is clunky compared to MK, you don't know what you're talking about, you can move faster and more fluidly in that game which is why footsies are way more important.

I guess I had a much different experience with it than you did...
I never really ran into spammers on MK. Yet on SSFIV, I did...
Weird.
 
Re: sss4 vs mk9

i'm being 100% honest guys. Yes, i played mk9 online. Then again...
I play koth more than anything, sooo...
It doesn't really count if i'm playing with friends most of the time...
Whoops. Lol

LOL wow dude!!!!! XD

Yeah you need to play more publicly then you find all the spammers and cheap bastards :)

No thanks!
I don't need that kind of frustration. lol
F*ck that. I'll admit I'm wrong before I beat the nearest bystander to death with a broken lawn chair out of anger.

Besides. I ran into this Dutch guy who was a complete d*ckhole. He thought he was hot sh*t because he was "good with Raiden". On top of that, the syncronization sucked, so I got an insane amount of lag on my side but he had absolutely none. What hell is that?!?!?!

Dutch bastard...

However, I did run into a good chap who mained Kabal. Sawed0ff-somethng or other(don't remember the numbers). He didn't have a mic but he was extremely polite and very humble. He's very good. He beat the guy who was ranked #1 at the time. I believe it, because this guy was crazy good.

I suppose for the attitude of the people, it was a 50-50 shot.
 
Re: sss4 vs mk9

Attitudes on any game is a 50/50 shot. On every game you have your cheap bastards, and your nonfriendlys. CoD people could glitch into a wall, fighting games these people spam moves instead :).
 
Re: sss4 vs mk9

call me an optimist, but i play sf4 a lot and it seems as though you can combo in it...... unless that "xx hit combo" popping up on my screen's lying to me....
Its not a dial-a-combo- like mk, 2 completely different games. SOOO much fun playing against a 1-1-1 spamming scorpion.to everyone whinging you CANT and its IMPOSSIBLE, Its called a little practice.
here's some other guys that don't seem to have any problems.
 
Re: sss4 vs mk9

Of course you can combo into ultra's in SF, it just takes a bit of practice. I'm far from good at SF and yet I have on rare occassions combo'd into Cammy's.

Switchblade you are right in that most of the time online SF all you fight is Ryu/Ken/Akuma, it is what drove me away from the game in the end (I will go back), but several other things you said are just not true. There's a nice bunch of SF players over at EventHubs and as for generally meeting people online, most games are more than half full of idiots. I've certainly not come away from this forum thinking most MK players are relaxed easy-going types... Much of what you say applies to all online fighting games, it's all about the win for most and you do meet a lot of muppets. So I suupose I'm not saying you're wrong, but just slightly off-track thinking it's just SF.

As for fluidity, I'd say MK is more often faster, but that doesn't mean SF is less fluid, it's very fluid and smooth, it just rewards a very different style of play.

I say all this, not as a SF fan, I am actually playing a lot of Tekken online at the moment, because of the 3 fighters it's the only one I can currently play lag free for some reason.

Much logic.
I like the fast & brutal play-style of MK much more than I like the...um...Street Fighter...system...
Many things about Street Fighter, I just find heavily unappealing. Feels like child's play to me.

How is tekken? Is it worth checking out since its kind of old..?
 
Re: sss4 vs mk9

Tekken 6 - I bought it a year ago and never got into it (I did play Tekken DR for years on my PSP), now I have a lot of free time and thought I'd return to try it again and get some of the trophies. The infamous scenario mode does have a lot of annoying glitches, but I basically treated it like a hugely enhanced Streets of Rage (old school side-scrolling beat-em-up) and if you think like that it's pretty great and you can use any of the cast with their huge range of moves, basically it's probably not as bad as rumour has it.

As for normal online 1v1, I got matches all day today with no problem, no waiting and out of 24 just 2 disconnected. SF on my new connection for some reason lags like billy-o and MK online has just always been a sessions-timed-out fest. Plus I fought a nice variety of the cast (2 or 3 too many Miguels, but otherwise all different characters) and that's a great thing (No Ken/Ryu/Ken/Ryu madness).

they dont spam "just as much" sf4 (online) has more spamming, the only difference is the spamming is more limited in variation in sf4. As for the communities, it actualy depends. the online sf4 is less dickish, but in terms of forums/in person...mk9 seems to be better in that regard.

your comments "kano, kung lao, raiden" is no different then his comment about ryu, ken, akuma...

so in mk9 using a ranged special is spamming according to you (even upball is a zoning tool btw) but in sf4 where the ranged projectiles look almost all the same...its zoning. ok

sf4 IS clunky in comparison. in fact id counter to say its lack of fluidity is the reason its footsies is so important. in mk you dont feel like your trying to make a char work as much as in sf4.

i understand we all have personal bias here, but at least realize it :P
 
Re: sss4 vs mk9

SSF4 is an excellent game.I have played over 2000 matches online and i loved it.Till the day i touched mk9...
-Online in ssf4 is 80% meeting ruy,ken,sagat,akuma,and maybe once a while blanka.In mk9 i am dissapointed i havent seen a lot of baraka till now(i think of him as very popular)but we have greater variety as it seems
-More memorable characters(looks,moves,etc...)Story helps a lot in mk universe
-SSF4 is way more technical(focus attacks,moving a lot,more crossups)but a feel it has gone way too much.I hate focus attacks,and its combo system is 90% of aerial medium kick,low medium kick,special move...I prefer mk9 dial-up combos,and juggles and they are easier to execute.There is no point in some combos if you must train very hard to do some simples one.Easy to pick up and play.Thats the key
-Spam.I have seen zoning with akuma and air hadoken,and i have seen sheevas that do only the teleport slam...It depends from the player,its not the games fault
-Graphics wise i loved ssf4 but mk9 is way better.Great stages,impressive animations and excellent sound.SSF4 is mediocre in sound and personality.Its stages are lacking in something memorable.Only a few are to be reminded.
-Content.Seriously mk9 wins in notime.Ssf4 has very little content offline,and online it still has lag,like all games.One thing i love is replays.MK gotta add them sometime
-One final note.I like to watch games between great players like in evo 2011.Just watch games with ssf4 and games with mk9.In ssf4 is very slow and it hasnt got the effects and speed of mk9.Only mvc3 is compared to the mk spectacle.Just watch and you ll understand which game you prefer.Technical it may be but games for everyone not just hardcore fans.Mk9 is easy to play,ssf4 is deeper but i dont think it needed to be so much.It has lost something in this process
 
Re: sss4 vs mk9

first of all, gotta say I love both games. mk much more , though :P

second, no one can really compare the two just because they are both fighting games. SF lacks violence while mk is FULL of it and SF obviously has this anime-like style, while mk clearly does not.

now, I've been playing SF since my childhood so it's in my heart but the truth is, they lost its magic. in the last two SF games, SF 4 + SSF 4, the characters, the music in the game, the style they have is kinda like the older games but there's nothing new and exciting other than the Ultras. even the most ignorant person about SF most likely knows Ryu and Ken but what about more characters? they haven't made some great characters that people massively love in so long. idk, to me, SF right now is basically an attempt of an older SF with better graphics. mk on the other hand was sucky until now (yes, that includes mk1+2+3 after seeing mk9) and hopefully they will stay on that road. I'd recommend to the OP to try SF out a lot but for people like me who have been playing it for quite a long time, I think they need to come up with more exciting thing and experiment more
 
Re: sss4 vs mk9

the specials in MK are more spamable than SF

Dude, are we playing the same games? I have picked up Street Fighter IV before just for the sake of seeing how easy the spam was. It led to God knows how many perfects for me. In MK9, I have also experimented with the spam, and it is not as easy because of the teleports as well as the fact that the specials never stun you. The ones that do stun you do little to no damage. Also, to me, it is just easier in general to block or jump or teleport in MK9.
 
Re: sss4 vs mk9

Everyone has combos that link into their super and ultras, which I find hilarious because I can barely pull off the ultra by itself lol

Why couldn't they make it as simple as an X ray? An x ray is easier to pull off and all you have to do is press 2 buttons to do it lol
 
Re: sss4 vs mk9

your comments "kano, kung lao, raiden" is no different then his comment about ryu, ken, akuma...
I wasn't talking about characters that are used often, I was talking about overpowered characters. If I was talking about characters that are used often in MK I would have obviously said Scorpion, Ermac, and Smoke. The only character in SF that's kind of OP is Seth, other than that everyone is balanced.

I'd say that Yun is overpowered. That was probably the only reason why Street Fighter fans wanted him in the Arcade Edition. He's pretty much the SF equivalent to Kung Lao, he pretty much has no weakness.
