The announcement that the game would allow for 3v3, KoF style team matches was very exciting to hear. If I rememer correctly it was stated that each character would have to be controlled by a player, and it would go down online.
My question for you guys are the following:
- IS there any evidence to support that the game will allow 3v3 between two players only, exactly like KoF?
- How will this affect tournaments?
and just out of curiosity
- What 3v3 team is perfect for you?
The reason I ask is because if 3v3 between two people is allowed I'm fairly confident that it will become the norm and will attract a LOT of players. It basically adds a lot of variety to the game while making previously non-viable characters useful as part of a team. You can play your Gief all the way to the title if you have a Sagat counter in your team, for instance.
In fact, I foresee USFIV tournaments having parallel competitions for single and team battles, and Im preeeeeeeeetty sure that the team battles will be more hype than the single ones, simply because as it stands, matchups are quite predictable.
This piece of news got me tremendously excited and if you're anything like me, you might have been having fun wondering what teams you'd like to build.
If Capcom makes it strictly an on-line affair, I wouldn't be surprised as lack of foresight and overall idiocy are a hallmark of their company.
Ah, and just to get the ball rolling, I'm looking at Dan/Vega/Guy and/or Dan/Dee Jay/ Vega :)
