Which SC is the Best?

Because I take issue with people interspersing false "facts" with their opinion and perpetuating false stereotypes about games which are provably untrue. This in turn leads to more and more crying over "the good old days" bullshit which leads us to things we BOTH hate, like "waaah where is my favorite character" or "waaaah this game was balanced/best even though I didn't play it" kinds of groupthink which kill people who are on the fence or who want to see what the newer products are about.

I will bet you all the Mexicans in Texas some opinionated jerk telling his friends SC5 is "unbalanced unlike SC2" or some other horseshit has lost SC5 more sales than me being a dick to people (which telling the truth) on these message boards.

Thats fine and dandy. And I see the point youre trying to make. But sometimes you just gotta let people be dumbasses. You cant go round "saving the world" no matter if you are right or wrong.

The discussion hasnt got there yet. Maybe it wont at all. Sometimes you just HAVE TO give people the benefit of the doubt.

"Lighten up Francis" Not everyone is as "special" as you sweety!

Aww, HRD think's I'm special. In response to your constant questioning:

LOL....I cant even hear that shit cause I have no speakers at work. But I know what that is.

I dont think there was any "questioning" per-say. You cant please everyone homes. You cant make people think the way you do. Rather thats right or wrong. Sometimes you gotta kick back and just laugh at peoples ignorance and realize theres not a whole lot you can do about it all the time.

You are very special to me Idle....Now who the fuck are you again?
 
Now that you're talking about special.
I played SCII with weapon effects on so that's how much of a clue i had when playing it :D
I liked the variation and lots of moves in that game, had no clue that 5 or so moves + some glitch might make all the other pretty moves pretty useless.

Was it really like that? If that's so thank god i missed that.

Now this raises the question, which SC had the best command list balance?
SCV at the moment seems not that good in that area to me.
Many moves are very good and many don't meet their purpose, are just useless or gimmicks.

LOL....I used to play that the same fuckin way. I also NEVER used the soul charging shit cause I didnt understand it. All I know is when I had all the homies over going crazy with it....we were all having a great time. Playing ignorant or not!
 
@ HRD
Soul Charge was great.

Level 3 made Taki's PO B unblockable.
PO Wall Rush Unblockables, crazy stuff.
Glad that Natsu has a wall special again.
 
@Idle...i want you to read the above post. I want you to take in ALL it has to say. Then think for a second. Think of the time and effort you will save by not responding to that post and all its dumbness.

Hold it!!!

HOLD IT!!!

Good job. Now dont you feel better?

EDIT: not you shaolintiger. The one above you. Well....

Yo, what was that all about? I didn't appreciate that.
 
i'm just gonna pop in to say that i liked SC2 the best. it was the 2nd game i took seriously with T4 being the first. i played competitively for the life of the game and i'd say by the end of its life i was pretty good. good enough to beat linkrkc at EVO, and take top 5s at quite a few different tournaments.(and then subsequently lose to him and cynnik in a 3 way tie 1 game death match to see who moved out of pools but thats a whole other story)

basically i liked the way it played when compared with 3 and 4. 5 is a great step in the right direction and probably my second favorite game in the series.

dont let anyone tell you step G ruined the game like people never got hit with a horizontal, its complete bullshit. step G changed the way the game was played but it wasnt a huge detriment. as much as people claim it was a turtle game, i see way more standing around holding guard in 5 due to the movement nerf and the fact that there are very few + on block moves and even fewer + on hit lows. you had ways to open people up in Sc2, delays, cancels, guard break moves that forced a re GI mixup, soul charging and soul charge cancels, more auto GIs, BT JFs, + on hit lows, 0-+1 on frame A for a few characters. most of these things are either gone from the series or exist in a severely neutered form for only a few characters to take advantage of.

2G was also fun as it changed the metagame significantly but not to the point where it made GI useless which i also see people say from time to time. 4G granted +27 frames for a successful GI, choosing the correct option to 2G was a complete crapshoot when confronted with things like Ivy 6B8K for 50 damage or Ivy 33A, 22, 6B8 for 45%. add in the fact that throws (Ivy could iSS or iCS to force a break and sometimes get an unbreakable back SS) and lows flat beat 2G and you still had a decent post GI mixup.

you had fun non game breaking glitches like mitsus throw shenanigans, yoshi BT JFs and other various things that added to the game without killing it.

balance? great balance!!! i saw every character compete at high level and if you wanted to make a character work and put in the time, they would be viable. i saw striders yunsung take down tieTYTs nightmare at evo and gojira steamroll through people with raph.

just wanted to get that off my chest, i still pop SC2 in from time to time with a couple old friends and its still a blast when i do get to play it.
 
shit, if i end up going i'm totally down. dont even have to think twice about it, a chance to play some SC2 with another old schooler would be great.
