Divekick will also be his vskill 1 according to him LOL

I'm guessing it's frustrating for top players like Knee, who won on movement and defence to now have to deal with aggressive game mechanics that mitigate those strengths.  Legacy players want to win with the fundamentals they've been using for the last 25 years.  

I'm hoping to get Menat soon, I don't really care for this game, but I would like to see her in a game that doesn't suck.

You all talking bout SF3 versions and made me flip on my cabinet.  I just snapped a video of you.  I suck at 3s but I don't really "feel" any delay.
 
I can say though playing with a stick, especially a Happ stick, after being on leverless for like 6 months now, feels so damn weird.
 
But I don't think it gets much better than playing fighting games like this, at least not for someone who grew up in the arcade in the 90's.
 
 

Per random fightcade users (both good and bad players), the console port of 30th is considered to be "slow" and "feels off." I have never had a solid explanation as to why 30th anniversary is reviled so much for offline 3s. The 30th anniversary port is allowed by Jazzy Circuit, the grassroots 3s tournament series ran by the most dedicated 3s players. In terms of port quality, it is very good compared to every other port.
 
3s online edition is also pretty good but there are some issues with the balancing and the game running too fast. Yun's genei jin not scaling properly is one of the most glaring problems. Many players consider it to be a different game.
 
Everything else is either too slow, the sound queues are off, or straight up the wrong version of the game. They are also all very old.

Absolutely. This was the winning design

Menu Fighter 6

Some solid designs that were scrapped
 

 
Especially the top right red outfit. That one is fire and better than the final design they chose

You know I was about to post that Pookieblades gif I always used to....but I've realized that imgur has deleted a lot of my older images. Which wouldn't bother me so much but I had a photo of me with long hair that I lost when of my hard drives died that's just gone. And I'm bald now....so 😭 

My go to memory involving the console version of X-Men vs Street Fighter was when I pulled out my Saturn the first day of college in 98' and my dormmate started talking shit about it. I said nothing. I pulled out my two arcade sticks. His friends thought that was cool. I popped in my copy of X-Men Vs. Street Fighter.
 
Dormmate: "You can tag in that version? Can I play man?" 
Darc Requiem: "Nah man, Saturn's trash. Playstation better. Why don't you play the Playstaton version?"
Darc Requiem: turns to his friends  "Any of you wanna play?"
 
I eventually let him play but after letting all of his friends play first. I'll always remember that though. The look his face was priceless. 🤣

But the future refused to change.
 
 

Alpha 3 always had the best single-player content of every SF game until 6. 
 
You don't play XvsSF for a great game, you play it for a great time, flinging bullshit at your buddies until someone cries kusoge.

I loaded up the PS1 version of Alpha 3 for a quick playthrough just to see how it felt. 
 
Not gonna lie, a lot of Capcom's fighters were ass on PS1, but Alpha 3 surprisingly holds up well. 
 
Mainly if you're just looking to play around with Arcade or World Tour Mode. 
 
Now to remind myself of how bad X-Men Vs Street Fighter on PS1 was...

I could have sworn that I read the character models actually have skeletons and layers of muscles below the textures.  If so I'd guess they just change the properties of the outer textures like opacity  and color, to show the inner skeleton.  The skeleton doesn't have to be hi-res either since it's only seen in those instances.
