You should get a copy and come along, here are the details: http://8wayrun.com/threads/sep-12-2015-edge-master-series-major-2015-london.19126/
Not too hard to adapt to a new version of the game if you're already good at the previous ones. My 360 has SC2HD on it so we can play that on the next day if you like.

I doubt they do SC3HD anytime soon, Namco got lots of fighting games to do from Tekken 7 to Tekken x Street Fighter to Pokken tournament. The latest major soul game will probably be out in 2017-2018 so we just have to wait.

You can't really be in the 'know' of a game if you don't play it. Theory and practice are 2 different things, as I always tell me fellow engineers. You can have a perfect blueprint on paper and then when the thing is built it fails for reasons that you didn't anticipate.

That being said, stick with SC2. No game since has been anywhere near as good as that one. SCV is a close second, but still not as good. Why? Because fighting games went down the toilet when arcades died. They tested games for balance by letting people play them, and then releasing a console version with balance changes. It's the reason why SC2 has, and always will have, better balance than any game since.

But hey I just realized that I broke one of the websites 'sacred' rules. I'm not allowed to bash any SC game. Woopsie daisy.

That is a fair point and i do agree with you but i still could help in some way one way or another.

i kinda disagree with your statements, SC2 is probably the best in the series but thats just peoples opinions, some people could really enjoy SC3 or SC5 or any soul game for the matter and say its the best in the series.

Fighting games did die down during the timespan from 03-09 when arcades died since there was nothing noteworthy to catch peoples intrest but their have been decent games coming out at the time like tekken 4-5, soul calibur 3 and iv mortal kombat Deadly Alliance,Deception and Armageddon etc but in 2009 street fighter iv came out and that resparked peoples interest in fighting games again and soon more fighting games became popular like marvel vs capcom 3, mortal kombat 2011, Tekken tag 2 and Tekken 6. This made people get more involved and their was more decent players as well as player base around as well for each game.

Testing games from arcades was good back in the day but now we are in a better spot since were more involved with the game evolving and development. Developers themselves do alphas/betas were people get a taste of the game before its out and to test out the system so the developers can get their feedback from the players and develop these changes to what the players want. Also quick balance changes can be done during their lifespans where they can just do a quick update and fix bugs which could break the game or make a charcter umbalanced.
street fighter is the exception because they introduce more then just balance changes such as new game mechanics and new characters. New characters are also key because its make the game more interesting and make people want to play it more as well as evolving the game itself
(look at Mortal Kombat X and Killer Instinct as prime examples).

But hey, im sure you can disagree with some/all of my responses or agree with some/all of my responses but this just my opinion on what you were saying. Fighting games are not dead, Their growing at a fast rate behind the MOBA genre.
