Hello I'm new here, wanted to get into fighters competitively, and have always liked SC since DC (didn't play Soul Blade). Anyway I hear a lot about how 3 and 4 have lots of glitches, and many people sometimes do not seem to take SC series as a competitive game because of it I guess. I just want to know what is the reason it is not taken as serious as other games like tekken, or even SF4 which (I think) is built to work with casual players.

~Mind you, I played SC3 mainly for the CaS and the custom rts story, rather than competitively.
 
Hey, welcome to 8WR!

I wasn't around for SC3 so I can't really say much about the game competitively other than mention the VC (Variable Cancel?) thing that seemed to cause some problems in the community.

As for SC4, there have been some character issues mainly dealing with Algol and Hilde (who are both banned in MOST regions around the world) instead of "glitches".

Here's a good example of how people reacted to Hilde and her "Doom Combo": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXRzsS4FHpI

As for Algol, his bubble/projectile moves seem to contribute to his ban, but the main reason is unclear to me.

I'm not the best at dealing with this discussion so perhaps somebody else can fill you in more accurately. Hope this post helps regardless.
 
I looked at the terminology, but didnt see what VC meant, and can you explain the wallsplat glitches??? rather just what exactly are they? able to attack a person constantly on the wall? and the step G's in 2, are they moving guards ????
 
what did the Variable Cancels do ??? and thanks for the quick replies and welcoming me to the community!
