For me it's Nightmare, Decent damage and decent range.
Superb players here, would have loved to attend physically to that tournament
XianghauCalibur II is pretty good. Would be nice if there was some character diversity. Jokes aside, CB 2017 had quite a bit of character representation. Not sure why CB ran the arcade version, the one with less characters.

Probably because each of the console releases had a different guest character, and different controllers. On an arcade build, you can plug in an arcade stick or a controller just fine.

@@Pan_Z I don't really follow competitive scenes, but I would imagine that when setting something like this up, they either want all the guest characters, or none of them. I just find it unfortunate that Nintendo's ownership of Link prevented him from being in the remaster(?).

It was a matter of not having enough PS3s with the game. The previous time it was run on PS3 it was a nightmare.

How are they playing the arcade version with a controller? Is there.some kind of download in the new systems? Or some kind of port

Hey. It's called a supergun, it's a bit of equipment that you essentially plug the arcade board into, you then connect the TV to the supergun and the controllers to the supergun. Think of a supergun like a modern games console, and the arcade board being the cartridge.

Look at that joke: Aries-- he spam horizontal (and yes spam as in mash 'cause he lacks consistency in combos and pokes) with Voldo. He found a weakness in the Xuag and Killik match up and FGC consider him the "best". Any serious player of the series can see he is sheer trash.
