The Big Question (For SF & SNK Fans)

[KyoKusanagi]

Yuri - she may have all of the shotokan fighters moves but she is also weak compared to Ryu from 3rd Strike.

Seriously, if you took Gill, Cyber Akuma, Evil Ryu and Violent Ken (yeah i know he's an SNK created character but he is still Capcom) no one would stand a chance.

Though Omega Rugal, Orochi Iori, Krizalid and Zero would give them a tough fight.

Don't forget, Geese, Mr. Big, Krauser and Orochi Leona

 

[Phatslugga]

Ryu would smack everyone around then give Ken a high five....

Street Fighter by a long shot

Agreed, Ryu > all , Ken is second, then comes akuma. Streetfighter > King of Fighters, no contest.

 

[Xenogias]

Street Fighters vs. KOF... No Contest? You obviously haven't played KOF, There is some contest here buddy! >_< I was hoping to see more KOF fans
here :\

 

[Eon]

How about ... It's two different games O_O!!!!

There really is no right or wrong answers.

 

[Bolteh2]

why are you talking about these 2 crap games like they are real?


its games, i dont see 2 frigging cartridges/cd's fight eachother, and if i did see them fight, it would look lame

 

[Shaddix_Soft]

There is Capcom Vs. SNK which was basically Street Fighter Vs. King of Fighters (well most of the characters where from SF and KoF)

So in theory, yes I have seen them fight

 

[Bolteh2]

that was you vs computer or you vs a friend, not the characters vs eachother

 

[KyoKusanagi]

If you look hard enough you can find some "unofficial" japanese and hong kong produced mangas in which the Street Fighter and KOF characters fight.

I haven't seen them so don't ask me who wins but it'd be pretty tight i reckon.

Heh, are you just trying to be clever, or do you really not understand that he's asking us to compare the two games and say which is better? Crap games... in my opinion pretty much any of the StreetFighter Alpha games are the best fighting games ever made!

Dark Matter, I've played both, and my statement stands. No contest, Streetfighter over King of Fighters. Hwoarang is wise, listen to him he knows what he's talking about. Ryu is infact, the king of fighters.

 

[Xenogias]

Yeah, its like the other guys said, the topic is based on curiousity and opinion from other fans, Its not a topic to be taken "realistically" as to say:

"Lets get the SF/KOF Cartidges and throw them at each other to see which one
breaks first >_>"

Anyway, SF Characters might hold some Advantage if you were to think of them
in the "Marvel vs. Capcom" way (Where the SF Characters do serious combos
and serious damage), And I have played Alpha 3, My favorite Character is
Cammie and Sakura, but like previous SF games Cammie only has her Drill
attack, which can easily be blocked even by a first timer, and two special
attacks, well I guess she also has the flying kick thingy as well, but as for
KOF fighters they have alot of moves, you can even create combo chains
from some of them (Like K's Iron Flame thing, you can follow it up with the
kick that throws it and turns it into a fireball or a flaming high kick, not to
mention his MAX DOA THRASHING alone is a 26 Hit Combo, but you can add
to it before it is unleashed)

Heh, if Cammie and Sakura are your favorite characters, then you haven't played with a real one yet. Ryu, ken, and akuma are the best pcharacters you can use. Alpha 3 is known for it's combo capabilities, with certain characters you can get up to 30 it combos, allthough it's pretty hard to get passed 12 hits. I don't really like games where you can get ridiculous combos say, up to 79 hits. Streetfighter Alpha 3 is perfectly balanced, the speed is perfect, the alpha specials are great, and it has RYU. Right there, KOF loses, becuase SFA3 has RYU.

 

[Xenogias]

Please. Sakura and Cammie are just my most playable Characters. I usually like to pick the Female Fighters in all Fighting games because of their speed. And I have played with Ken and Ryu, its funny, I remember day one, when the first Street Fighter came out people liked Ken more than Ryu, The Alpha series busts out and everyone likes Ryu. Make up your minds .

Anyway, when I get serious my fighters are Ryu or Chun Li. And you people
talk about Ryu as if he is immortal, like Cao Cao said to Lu Bu:

You are a Relic from a past age, it is time for you to fade into history!

K', Krizalid, Rock, and Igniz, just compare Igniz going up again Ryu, it is
fricken over, depending on the Difficulty, Igniz's MAX DOA THRASHING
alone will put Ryu's Health at just 1 tiny inch close towards death.

 

[KyoKusanagi]

Well put. Ryu hails from the old school of fighting where most fighting game characters have the simple formula of moves - an anti air attack, a projectile attack, a kick attack.

I too use the female characters - e.g. KOF my best characters is Mai. I still use Ryu, Ken and Akuma but they become to boring after a while. For instance in SFIII 3rd Strike the "strongest" character is Oro (a non shotokan fighter).

The only real way we're going to settle this is by sitting down and playing either Capcom Vs SNK or SVC Chaos.

 

[Xenogias]

Well Chaos is mostly aimed towards KOF as Capcom is mostly aimed toward Street Fighter,
I would like to to double-tap run in Street Fighter games though, thats one reason
why I mostly like KOF, You can run or quickly take a big step back to evade attacks,
not only that you can quickly recover from falling in mid air, instead of falling on your
back and having the enemy corner you and doing nothing but Hurrican Kicks and Shoryukens, It can be evaded in SF as well but you'll mostly end up having to recover
while holding the block button.

In KOF if im pinned against the corner I always Uppercut, as a matter of fact, I always
succeed in an Uppercut with K', Im like a snake, you get too close to me and I will sting
you

 

[KyoKusanagi]

I think the CVS game implemented a dash or run system and you could roll at any time to avoid attacks.

You can recover in the air or roll when you hit the ground in Streetfighter alpha 3 ( never played 2, but maybe). In Alpha 1, you recover from a fall only by instantly rolling. The double tap run is interesting but not needed. Instead of evading an attack, just block it, or alpha counter it (or just counter it normally). Also, when you get stuck in the corner, you BEST expect some ass whooping, that's why you try to stay away from the corner. Just for the record, using a hurricane kick in the corner is a bad idea, easily countered with a regular uppercut.

I was never a fan of the recovery in mid-air... it makes no sense, but then again, does the ability to throw a fireball make much sense? Also, it's needed to balance the combo's that can be pulled off, that's what it's for, not to save you from the dreaded corner. Blocking and timing is the key to the dreaded corner.

As for which character I love, it's Ryu, and I've always loved Ryu from the start. It's rare to find someone who likes Ryu in alpha, becuase he doesn't have many flashy moves. Ken has his flaming dragon punch, Ryu's is just regular. Allthough Ryu does have his Metsu Shoryuken, it's near impossible to pull it off correctly to get the 4th hit. For me, he's just well balanced, and his damage is consistent.

 

[Xenogias]

Yeah, I remember a roll in SFA3. Also, the Double-Tap run is very useful, incase
your enemy misses a certain attack and you are pretty distant, you can manage
to run up to him and take advantage, (With Kyo, in 2001, I try to jump close,
or run in front of my enemy, so that while im in the middle of mid air, I had
already hit the directional buttons to do that MAX DOA THRASHING grab he
does, and when I land im already like half way into pressing down+back+LP/SP
And that special is also unblockable).

Also Running is also useful for the fact that if you attempt a jump while running
you do like a sort of "Long Jump" which also allows me to perform that special
with Kyo many times.
