Combo Breaker 2019 - Capcom vs. SNK 2 Top 8

twitch.tv/vampirearcadia
Bracket:
smash.gg/tourn...

[@charlesajones77]

It's getting to the point that Combo Breaker has surpassed Evo as best FG tournament. They play all the games, not just the 5 or 6 currently popular ones.

[@Bread_Bauru]

Keep in mind, this game is EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD, an old game can be godlike, age don’t matter, god I hope a new one comes out

[@djsiddiki3430]

lol who said old games can't be good? newer games sucks!

[@Longlostpuss]

Old 2D games always age better than old 3D games. Sega were also masters of tech being ahead of its time, the Virtua Fighter series amongst others really blew you away too when you consider how much older those games are also and that there was nothing else out there anywhere near them at the point of their release. You'd be lucky if a new Capcom vs SNK crossover would be anywhere near as good as this today if recent fighters are anything to go by. Today's fighters (2D and 3D) just lack the 90's and 00's X factor, they've been progressively declining ever since.

[@kinggomax]

Some of the best soundtracks come from fighting games. It’s pretty amazing how they add to the experience.

I think CvS2 is just slightly better than 3S. It's more diverse. There's some hype in there, but there's also some chill stuff like the windmill stage.

Beautiful stages, amazing characters, cool BGM, the fact that are 6 different types of Meter and all of them gives you the chance to do different combos and strategies, man... what a game!

[@Longlostpuss]

Very good looking game. My only slight gripe with it, is that the Blanka sprite, ripped from Street Fighter Alpha 3, looks absolutely rubbish. The only rubbish character model in the entire game in my opinion and he's one of my favourite characters. Even his SF2 iteration looked better. Don't know what Capcom were thinking to be honest.

[@2ndLastStarfighter]

Just repeating what the guys say, great representation of all Grooves. And MAJOR props to the commentary team, adds so much to viewers when the guys actually know what they're talking about.

Kinda wack that the top tier is basically made up entirely of Capcom characters and is chock full of those damn Alpha sprites...

That's because the Alpha sprites are basically larger than the CVS-original style sprites. Larger sprite means better hitbox. The animations are also noticeably choppier than CVS sprites, so maybe the Alpha sprites were sped up, in a sense...

[@jinxhand]

Iori, Hibiki, Geese, Athena (low key since she's the anti Sagat), Mai, and in some circles Maki is considered top. Even still, so what if Capcom characters are top tier??? There are a ton of strong players who put in work with mid to lower tier characters. You should check out the A-Cho yt channel for some long sets and tournaments.

Also? Certain characters in certain grooves do really well. Like Rolento in C-Groove or N-Groove, Vega/Balrog in A, Chun-Li in N. Tier listing in CvS2 isn't set in stone.

When sf2 was brought to the west, some characters had their names changed due to legal reasons. The boxer was m bison in The east, and changed to balrog in the west. The dictator went from Vega in the east to m bison in the west, and the claw weilding character went from balrog in the east to Vega in the west. Because of this, they're referred to as boxer, dictator, and claw in tournaments.
