Believe me I know the difference between pads and sticks, I'm a neo geo owner, and have been for a long time, I won't touch any snk fighters without a proper fighting stick, Moves like the rising storm, deadly rave, playing as Kyo as a whole is miserable with pads. and the classic controller is far better than the ps3 pad. There are other fighters on the wii, samurai shodown anthology, kof anthology, Guilty Gear Acore, plus many arcade style games benefit from using an aracde stick for gameplay, New Super Mario Brothers wii, Contra Rebirth, basically anything that is dpad centric |
Dude, you don't NEED a fight stick. I don't use one in MvC2, and I play just fine... well, as good as one can get before resorting to spam, but, that's a personal choice. You and I both know there are extremely good players in fighters that use controllers instead of sticks. It's all about preference, and what you want to use. If you want TvC, toughen up, and use the controller until you get an arcade stick, it's not that big of a deal...
Anyway, this game is a no-go for me. I don't have a Wii, and I don't see the point in getting one for this lone title, an extra controller, and classic controller for this... I'd never get a stick for a fighter, it's not necessary, and not remotely a requirement. "OMG, I can't wave dash on a controller, it's too hard...." Well, practice... Or, spend a ton of money for the sole purpose of wave dashing, or whatever it is you can't do... like it's really worth it.
But, I've got problems with this game... the biggest being it's a 3 button fighter with an assist button... I already don't like the simplicity of MvC2, because everyone has pretty much the same universal combo, so, if you learn the basics, you can play with everyone except Zangief, and a few others that require a bit more practice.............. What? No, of course not on a professional level, wtf?
But, things being even more simplified from MvC2, which means combos are easier to pull off (74+ hits? 3 buttons?) If the game had been 6 button, I would have considered it, but, yeah, that's not the case. The other reason I don't want the game is that there's no Jin... He better show up for MvC3. But then, do I really want to pay 200 dollars for ONE game? No.... Again, would have considered it if there was at least Jin.
Oh, and as for as reviews go, they probably gave it a 9/10 to be safe. The Vs. Series is something you have to spend a lot of time with to get good with, and the review team can't spend that kinda time with the game. I mean, if you just spend 45 minutes with the game, you may like it, but, you may not be able to enjoy it to it's fullest because there are just secret combos to find, and limitless possibilities... Look at spiderman, for example in the Marvel Vs. Series. You have to time your attacks slightly differently from most characters, and, he has ariel cross-ups, and things like that. Things you wouldn't find just playing on your own for a set time, and I'm sure they're probably aware of this, since there's something called youtube........ which will speed the learning proccess.
