Cross Genre Match #20: Akuma vs Iron Man

Started by 0mega Spawn15 pages

SVC1 & 2 CVS1 & 2 im talking about CVS2... what was story mode like in CVS2?

everything boils down to either rugal bernstein absorbing gouki's satsu no hadou then becoming ultimate rugal, or gouki absorbs rugal's orochi power and becomes "super" shin gouki at the end of a tournement.

some of the cheapest bosses in fighting games.

hmm... easily looked up on a website rolleyes1 ... oh well your opinion i guess . and Shin Akuma & Ultimate Rugal never gave me trouble dont know where people get that from just use long range characters or else the F U up in close range... anyways Capcom VS SNK 2 = GOD OF 2d fighters

those guys are hard if you main someone that is a bad matchup against them, i barely use fireball characters.

it's a widespread notion which game is better, 9/10 it will be third strike hands down

- better sprite animation, even though it's older

- better replay value

- and preferred by tournament competitors

daigo is the #1 streetfighter player in the world right now, justin wong is arguably america's #1

Capcom vs SNK has better graphics, much better graphics. The gameplay has more depth. Parry isn't as broken, you have just defense, Custom Combos, Charges, rolling, dodging, and mess load of systems.

SF3 isn't better balanced. Chun Li dominates along with Ken and Yun. The rest aren't worth playing. In top competition at least. Although I'm not a tourneyfag anyways, lol.

Replay value? There's a *lot* more to do in Capcom vs SNK 2. Oh and Gill is a cheapass. People prefer it in tourney's because it's easier to play. They nerfed the game, the projectiles, a lot of supers and made it so you could only choose one (so offense oriented characters like Akuma had less options). It also played slower.

Don't get me wrong. I love the game. I just prefer Capcom vs. SNK2. The ones who didn't get into it didn't like the difficulty and liked how easy 3rd strike is to pick up and play. I respect both games as they're different. I like harder games that reward more skill and timing. 3rd strike takes a lot of skill, but the parry was made so easy that everyone did it nonstop.

^ they reused alpha sprites for 98% of the capcom cast, third strike had those beautiful new sf3 sprites

gill's cheap, but you can't use him so.... (aside from the home version)

chun-li, ken, and yun were indeed "top tier", but by no means did that give anyone the auto win. RX a urien player, fujiwara the dudley player, and hayao the hugo player (among many other) proved that you could own with "lesser" characters

anyway, nobody plays cvs2 anymore lol, hd remix, blazbleu, tekken 6, etc still draw the tourneys

YouTube video ^ see

Tony can fly.

W-Why is this still being discussed.

Does that mean Iron Man can beat Flash too?

Besides, Bison can fly too. Didn't help him.

Some of the characters had the old sprites. Most looked better than they did in 3s.

Capcom vs SNK2 had no broken characters. You can win with anybody on any game, but CvsSNK2 didn't have any "omg" characters. They are both good games.

People still play it. I'm not sure if it is in the US. But I don't see what that pertains to. All of the newer "casual" games draw the crowds now. They are easier to play and draw the most audience. I don't care about tourney and I'm not competitive like that. So it doesn't matter to me. I'm very good at games, but I'm more of a "challenge" gamer. I like to beat Battletoads with no screen showing, crazy stuff like that.

I still think 3s is excellent, above a 9.0. I just preferred Capcom vs SNK2. A lot more depth and strategies. I don't know why they removed being able to use so many supers and only limited the use to one of them.

Although in the end we should share our disdain for the Super Smash Bros fanboys. They are the worst. "Smash is the most complex game evar!!!!"

Epic comparison failure.

Not really. He said (or implied) that Tony can win because he can fly. That's just bad conjecture.

Of course Flash is insane on the forums (I'm also a Flash fan), but it proved my point just fine.

The reason why flight doesn't grant the win over Flash is because Flash is insanely faster than Tony, too fast for bombarding to work. That just isn't the case with Akuma.

I'm not necessarily comparing the two, so much as I'm saying flight doesn't grant a win. If that's the case Tony wins against anybody that can't fly.

Akuma isn't as fast as Flash obviously but he does have the warping. Projectiles, and can accelerate high in the air.

Lol I wonder if that new move of his allows him to "fly".

Like I said, let's save our hate for the Smash fanboys. 😖hifty:

I'm assuming Akuma's warping is simply another term for teleportation? Iron Man can track teleportation signatures. Add to that his "spider sense" and his reaction time to teleportation should be intense.

In addition, Akuma's projectiles - consisting of energy - will just be absorbed by the armor. Energy attacks are not really going to do the trick 😬

Sorry that I haven't made a case at all, I've been rather busy. Of note however, the mandarin fight everyone is referencing about happened in an older armor (Red Silver Centurian IIRC).

Windy! 🙂

He can teleport and he can warp and shift his body very fast. He can combine these with attacks and the misogi chop out of the sky. Extremis has fast reaction times, and he does have Spider-Sense, but Spider-Sense probably won't help against something that can warp around and change it's attacks really quickly at will. That is a good point to bring up though.

What is his best absorption feat? Top tiers like Bison and Akuma level forests, cities, etc. How long could he keep that up? There is a max to that. I do agree that it won't be easy to simply shoot and win. Although Akuma can keep up those destructive blasts for long periods of time.

What would you say is Tony's best option?

He's just messing around. That's a 3rd strike sprite.

Didn't IM take punches from the Hulk?

He can take a few. Nothing sustained. I can't really say how many full on hits he can take from Akuma, probably won't be many.

I'm almost ready to argue against Akuma now. 🙁
