Hypothetical: Options in Fighting Games

What the fuck, man....

You do realize CvT is doing well on Wii? Capcom putting their characters up against anime characters certainly have an appeal. I think my ideas are great, the biggest issue being that there isn't a venue to put it into practice to test the theories involved. All I could do is talk about it, but I'd never succumb to the notion that "since it'll never happen, don't talk about it". Which isn't KK's stance, just saying. And if you truly believe it's bad, and sound off about it, don't be surprised if I defend my idea. Some of you use the fact that I'd do that as a supporting case against, like I'm supposed to silence after I read people don't like it. Not my style.

Education: Capcom vs [adultswim] wasn't an idea so much as a dream match sort of deal. That's not how development works. I wouldn't go to Capcom with a game document consisting of fanart depicting Capcom characters fighting [adultswim] characters. Anybody who thought that much, fuck off, I know better. Thought I'd make that clear.

Thanks for reading anyway (gonna stop saying that).

Quite. Which reminds me, I need to get it so I can try it out. But that doesn't mean Capcom vs Adult Swim would fly.

Which is unsurprising, but don't be surprised if people don't take well to them, either. As you point out, this is a forum. A natural extension of posting one's ideas is getting them shot down. It's the sort of thing that goes both ways; you make your ideas known, other people tell you they're good, or bad, or to shut up.

I think it has a little more to do with the fashion in which you propose and defend ideas. And if yo have a problem with the responses you get, feel free to not post. But you can't really have it both ways, saying you're going to keep posting ideas which will get you bashed then acting like it's some ungodly act of sabotage. You know people here don't like your ideas. You post them anyway. That's fine, it really is. But at some point, you stop being the victim when you know the response is still going to be "your idea sucks" and you get your panties in a wad.

Admittedly, you do sometimes get more crap than you should.

Pretty sure you mean "it wasn't a serious pitch," and that's fine. but it was an idea, obviously. You can't have a "dream match" without an idea, and as an idea, I think it's bad. Looks like others did, too. Yeah, sure, I'm sure SRK thought it was bad because it's Capcom vs Anime. And now they're happy with CVT, which less vindicates you and more makes them hypocrites if true.
