do you think SFxT will hurt SCV?

i am hoping that it doesnt take players away from our online community

unless they are the type of players i want gone anyway

They're going to be a decline in players, but it's mostly the bandwagon jumpers / achievement whores (dare I call them that?) People who are serious about Soul Calibur are still going to play Soul Calibur. Sure, a few might buy SFxT and play that as well, but the players you want to fight against are going to be around as always.

wait i forgot, its capcom.

I will be waiting for the inevitable super/ultimate edition

Not to worry, friend: Capcom has decided to ease your troubles and put most of the future content on the current disk, so you can buy it now and not worry about the Super edition in a year. You can simply buy the unlocking codes next March and get the additions without the hassle of getting a new disk.

Sarcasm aside, that is pretty much what they're doing.

Once Street Fighter X Tekken drops tomorrow, a lot of gamers are going to be glued to their PS3s and Xbox 360s while Soul Calibur V ends up on the back burner.

obviously.

Admittedly, I'm going to be glued to SFxT when I get later on this week ( Europe not getting it till Friday! Good thing the site I have it on pre-order from will have it posted to me by Thursday. ) but I'll be back on SCV soon enough ( sooner if the online annoys me enough. ) I'll still be lurking around here regardless.

As for the topic on hand, yes, it's going to effect the amount of people online, I reckon that many people who got SCV got it as a stop gap before SFxT.

I'll be getting it even though I'm not a fan at all of Crapcom games.

What did me in were the Tekken characters and the tag mechanics.

I'm a sucker for tag fighting games. Tekken Tag is still my fav fighter to this date, over SC2.

shit i just realized i have mass effect 3 to destroy my life tomorrow, to hell with SFxT

Somwhat,
Sidenote: If your a 3D fighting game person dont bother bout SFxT
even though im a fan of tekken i cant pull my self to play that game.

this is true, i love 2d fighters (like MK better than SF), but as far as 3d goes SC is all there is to me

Of course it will. All new games hurt older games, whether it's 2D or 3D. People always want to try the newest thing

I think SFxT already has harmed SC5, at least a little bit. I'm sure there were a lot of people that decided not to buy SC5 because SFxT is coming out.

That being said, the community will be fine. People that love SC, love it for a reason. Some may visit SFxT (I won't), but they will be back.

Holy shit. I am honestly shocked and amazed that they are doing that...that REALLY is spitting in the face of the customer.

Some DLC being on disc at launch is fine, like CaS pieces in SC5. Those things are niche and if someone wants to buy them, that's cool. It's not that big of a deal...but 12 characters!? Woooowwww. I will officially never buy SFxT now. I wasn't planning on it before, but I may have given in eventually. But now...nope.

Possibly yes. I'm not going any further. lol

the appeal of SFxT for me can be summed up in one word

POISON

Poison is a tranny.
For me, TxSF sounds way more interesting than SFxT.
SFxT is basically SF with more characters.

I was actually thinking the same thing. Namco, too, sounds way more interesting than Capcom.

And your point is?

Make a long list short. What isn't hurting Soul Calibur?
