Why do black people love MvC2?

[Akuma89]

This is a serious question, sorry if it doesn't belong here.

In pretty much every video from an MvC2 tournament, black people usually heavily outnumber every other race, and a lot of the top players are black. Why is that? I don't mean for this to be racist, but an observation. I don't see this happening with ST or 3s, or CvS2. Are black people just drawn to the speed and chaos of it? Does it give them a rush?

And I'm not racist, so please don't call me racist. I love watching them yell over MvC2 like in the pringles video!:rofl::rofl::rofl:

I never really paid attention to the ethnicities that played MvC2; I always thought Latin-Americans were the majority.

I understand what you're saying. A lot of the top players from both coasts, are indeed black individuals. On the east coast, we got Sanford, Demon Hyo, Xecutioner, Wigfall, Rick Mears, Bryheem, Law, and Matrix.

On the west coast, we got The Dark Prince, Finesse, Fanatiq, Chris Schmidt, Combofiend, Larry from nor cal, and Bill "Dues" Wellman

dass a lotta niggaz

I am serious. My nemesis Black Horse is Latino, the player nicknamed "Jesus" is Latino, all the scrubs that play with us are latino....they love that game, no matter how much you whoop their ass.

Sanford is Black?!!!

WHY AM I JUST LEARNING THIS?!!

On the other hand, I suscribe to two black MvC2 players on Youtube; DragonCharlz and OmegaRed999 and they're fairly good.

[shoultzula]

why do asian people eat so much rice?

[EveryFlowerFlow]

I want to know this too.

[Tech Romancer]

Because they revere the Rice God, who provides them with Rice as he is the God of Rice. Rice is good. But rice is great from the Rice God because he is the God of Rice.

[myleftshoe]

rice is bomb. I'm assuming rice is a huge natural resource in Asia and old days people ate it with everything and now its passed on through generations.

Black people in Marvel? Maybe cause in big cities there's bigger difference in black population. There's also sometimes more Asian, Mexicans too though. Maybe cause there more hustle in Marvel :tup:

[kimo_kata]

OMG that's RACIST!

Is this at the Namco Time Out in Dalton?
Quite a while since I've been up there.
Even longer since they've had a Marvel machine.

I'd have thought Tekken 6 would be their biggest draw by now.

Or is there another place in Dalton where a Marvel machine has been put in?

[RyanC]

this is probably the most ignorant post i've ever seen. but i got into marvel because i love all fighting games. i came up on sfII. This ain't no case study so how could you even prove what you're asking. Like someone is gonna post on here and magically give you an answer. um.... you're dumb Akuma89

I just moved here about a year ago, but the arcade my friends took me to is located at some mall; I forget the name. It doesn't have MvC2. The draw there is Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection. Besides Tekken 6 hasn't come to America yet, I think.

The place I'm talking about it Dalton State College; we play all kinds of fighters in the Student Center. I bring my DC and modded PS2 and we go at it.

Yeah, the Time Out Arcade is at Walnut Square.
I knew about T5:DR, but I've not kept up with new releases.
I was there the day the shell for the T5 cab came in. With the crate on the bottom, we all thought we would need stools or something to sit on to play.

I've attended Dalton State for a few classes. Before the PS2 kiosks they actually had around 3 stand-up machines at any one time.

T5 was the biggest Draw last time I was at the Student Center. That, FiFa, and various Football games.

One guy brought in Alpha collection one day. That was neat.

Has the parking situation on campus improved any?
My big complaint was having to park behind the gym to walk down the hill and around buildings to get to the Tech department. Then back up the hill to get to a phys. ed. class.

Those were "good" times....yeah.....

A lot of people still obsess over the Tekken 5 on the PS2, but I refuse to play it, I prefer Tekken 4 and Tekken Tag. They still leave on the football and Soccer games. I brought my own PS2 and games because I got tired of asking the office to switch out the games all the time.

They actually removed the controllers from one of the PS2 kiosks, because they know I bring in my consoles everyday! "leave one of them free; the guy with the Dreamcast is going to take the TV anyway." Neat.

They say they are going to expand the parking lot, according to what Matthew told me. I forget when they said it will be complete. I live in woody valley right next to campus though, so I don't have to worry about parking.

Tekken 4 is more broken then Tekken 5 that doesn't even make sense.... (T4 Jin>T5 Steve and his 3,1,1)

I like Marvel cause you can win by mashing buttons! haha no but seriously just the most fun out of the bunch...

I used to think that too, but its actually not...even though Jin is God Tier in T4, its overall more balanced than T5 5.0 and 5.1. Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection is actually what is most balanced...but its still Tekken 5, so I still won't play it. The system is too juggle happy, sidestepping sucks and the whole thing is way too mainstream for me. With Tekken 4, they actually tried to branch out and be creative with movement and terrain over crazy juggles and accessibility.

[gouki10]

Because the best 2 characters in the game are black.

there i said it.

[dj_de]

i dont play marvel anymore cause black people play it

edit: not racist

[zachlol]

woah, now i see why they call you dj anime

[dj_de]

woah, now i see why they call you dj anime
you should take it easy!

[Button_Masher]

Tekken is all about spacing...there is no spacing in T4 due to lack of backdash
Therefore T4 was fun while it lasted...but not the best Tekken by far

[totaltoanage]

I love marvel the same reason why I love Grape Soda, Fried Chicken, and Grits. They're that fuckin good
grape drank

[Higher-Jin]

Cuz they be trying to get wit dat StOrM

[fishjie]

sentinel is top tier and also happens to be black so they have an affinity to the game. its no coincidence that all black ppl play sentinel.

[Mixah]

black people play black sentinel though.. don't forget that jieyang

[otter]

This is especially true with random casual players. Whenver I go to my local 'cade there is usually a black or latino guy using ryu/ken/spiderman or something retarded.

[Tech Romancer]

What's retarded about using low-tier characters?

[KagerouSama]

It's all about the Dan/Servbot/Roll teams, guys. :)

So much fun I had with that team.

[The_Gunslinger]

It's got nothing to do with race. It is all about stations in life.

Only Real Gs play marvel!

If you ain't a real G, GGPO

Must be; If he's talking about Sentinel's alternate color scheme where he's black that doesn't make any sense because:

1) Sentinel is not a 'person'.
2) The black color scheme is not even his default color and hence not his 'real color' .
3) Black people aren't actually black; they're brown.
4) Sentinels and Mastermold were made by white people anyway, according to the comics and T.V. show.

[gouki10]

Sentinel is Black...

[Mixah]

oh shit, i saw the cable being a cop comment... that was hilarious.

Trust me Sentinel is black you just haven't been around long enough to realize it. Black Sentinel + Black commando + Storm who is black = Mahvel = black players = hype = loud=money matches=drama= ITS MAVHEL BAYBEE!

If you say so. He sounds like a white robot to me.

[xero15]

i dont know bout yall but if i cant get that black sentinel i gotta step away from the machine 'nuff said.:arazz:

oh and sentinels black of course why you think he be stompin on niggas all the time?

[Person-Man]

If Sent is black, then so is Vader.

[Tech Romancer]

Yeah, I saw a video in college today with Al Gore and a bunch of US Senators wearing all black suits.

Guess that means they're black, too.

[Person-Man]

Opera is defo a white chick.



Now that I think about, I probably like Marvel so much because of the black people. I don't play it because I don't have a Dreamcast and I'd get no competition anyways, but I love the hype and to watch the dramatic matches at EVO. To be blunt, them blacks know how to bring the hype. They aren't all nerdy about it like white people are.

Lol this is one of the reasons why rap is on marvel mixs son.

[narc]

I remember playing @ Oaktree in Oakland once, a black guy said something like, "If you use that cheap shit I'll fucking kill you."

Haha, I love this game. I crave the shit talking and hype. Not to sound at all racist, but without that black touch of humor and hype, I'm not sure I'd be as into it.

what cheap stuff? spiral's trap or cable's AVHB? LOL :rofl: Seriously, I don't get some people. The ones that don't understand the game much, but think they do. The ones always yelling out "THATS CHEAP, STOP!". Ive been in a couple of situtations like that and usually I tell 'em...

"it ain't cheap, theres a way around it. Develop a strategy, try to prevent being in that situation.. adapt to your environment."

Then its either of these reactions

1. *quiet*... "oh". Thinking to themselves ".. your right"
2. ignores you and starts yelling "CHEAP STOP IT OR ILL SHANK YOU"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[myleftshoe]

having a strategy is cheap:looney:

[MaxVandalism315]

i remember years ago i was playing GG and some guy was getting mad cause i kept doing the same combo to him. he said "u keep doing the same shit!" i was like "well block or avoid it foo!"

[narc]

I'm not really intimidated or worried about plain fighting, but I'm not going to be a smartass to any group of big black guys in oakland who are in essense a real life nonarcade rules team of: sentinel, sentinal, blackheart.

too many fools have guns and knives these days, what happened to plain old manly hand to hand combat where both parties still live in the end?

MvC2 is like the And1 of the fighting game community.

[Tech Romancer]

I like Marvel because its a fighting game, and I happen to like fighting games. Who gives a fuck if my ethnicity of people like to play it? You play a game because its fun. Not sure where this "Marvel is great because African-Americans compose a majority of its community" shit came from.

[xero15]

Yeah, I saw a video in college today with Al Gore and a bunch of US Senators wearing all black suits.

Guess that means they're black, too.

now you just reading too deep into it.:rolleyes:

[bloodabeast]

oh man lmao so glad i join srk when i did

im also proud to be a black person playing war machine just cuz he's a black man in armor with guns n shit...WHAT NIGGA YOU KNOW GOT ARMOR WIT ROKETS?! exactly..iron man inf --> double proton cannon :P

Sentinel is black.

iirc, hes made in Genosha, which is in the African continent.
