not fighting games
and heres why
Because Smash games are designed and focused on being party games first and foremost. And while they do have layers of systems and mechanics to give it more depth than most party games, it's still a party game at heart.
The core difference between Smash and fighting games is that Smash has to be made into a fighting game in order to make it work. It has to have items (such a huge part of the game) switched OFF. It has to have stage hazards (such a huge part of the game) switched OFF. Stage selection has to be regulated, win conditions have to be regulated. While other games have their admin done outside of the game for tournaments, Smash requires a lot of the admin to happen in game as well.
What does this mean? Well compare it to Mario Kart. Mario Kart is a party game. It does have in-depth systems and mechanics, like drift boost and trail boost, kart kits and character stats. Sure, to make it competitive you can switch off a lot of the RNG based mechanics and the zaniness with items off and certain stages made non-regulation; make it more skill based that 'control the chaos' as it originally is. Focus just on the racing. But you've taken away everything from Mario Kart that makes it Mario Kart.
Same is true with Smash. I love Smash. And I think the ugly truth is so does most of Kappa. Kappa doesn't hate Smash, they hate the Smash community because the Smash community (on top of being one of the most toxic, entitled, obnoxious communities out there) demands that their make-shift Mario Kart should be held at the same level as Nascar. Smash has always been a party game. Sakurai and Nintendo approach it like a party game (first) and at its most unique, when it's most effective, is when it's just crazy. Stages moving and shifting, racing and dog piling for items, laughing and cheering and raging when your luck turns on you or when it turns on someone else. It's a phenomenal game. From stage hazards to items, so much of what makes Smash Smash is the zaniness. When you have to strip almost all of that away in order to make it "skill based", it's like turning off the stages and items in Mario Kart to make it more "skill based"; sure you can do that with literally ANY game...but you lost what that game is, in the process.
Compare that to games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, Dragon Ball Fighterz and Guilty Gear, UNIST and Tekken. The core systems of these games are for competitive based play. Fighterz Dragon-Ball system, for example, is even a big part of its competitive scene. Sure these games have custom characters and modes and such to tap into more party game styles the way Smash tapes into fighting games, but at their core you don't have to shut off what makes these games what they are just to make them competitive.
There's a lot more to the argument as well (Smash is much more shallow in terms of fighting game mechanics, for example) but at its heart, I think that's the main point. If Smash can be made into a competitive game by stripping away most of its content and tightly controlling what's left, then so can literally any other game. You could make Katamari into a competitive game, or Minecraft, or Overcooked. And here's the thing: that's fine. That's ok. You can do that and if people do that and enjoy it, more power to them. The problem happens when you demand your make-shift wannabe-fighting-game should be on the same stage and at the same level as games designed to be competitive.
I don't say it's a party game as a criticism; party games are awesome and Smash is king of them. I think we can all agree, Smash fans or not, that Sakurai is a brilliant man who deserves admiration from all side. But the thing is, the Smash games didn't have to be the black sheep of the FGC. It could have been friendly pet, one that everyone loves and appreciates. The problem with Smash has always been its competitive community. It is one of the most toxic, obnoxious, entitled, bratty group of people I've ever seen; every event there's always a controversy, a story, an embarrassment over how the players act, the audience acted, etc. Which again, is fine...except they want to show up at FGC events and stages and pollute the place while demanding acknowledgement that they neither earn or deserve.
It's kind of a shame because if it had a better community, I think Smash would be beloved by the FGC all round as a well-made side-show and an event worth watching.
Well put bro. With my friends growing up we had countless hours in melee. It's one of the best games ever made and I don't give a frick what anyone thinks. That being said the competitive scene is the single worst scene on earth. It's really sad because it ruined melee for me for a long time.
kinda like how dark souls fans need to limit themselves (no summons, no powerful items/weapons, no leveling, etc) in order to come close to a semblance of a challenge
and the game is still piss-easy and simplr compared to other action games
Dark Souls is much harder than any fighting game.
Lmao
Git gud.
smash was literally going to be dragon king: the fighting game til Iwata had the brilliant idea to reskin it with nintendo shit to make sure it sold well. Genius strategy really. At worst you could say it's a new type of fighting game or a bad competitive fighting game
It's both. Best party game ever maybe and I don't know why people think that's an insult.
>smash was literally going to be dragon king: the fighting game
not an argument, or any relevence to what smash is.
Is this pasta? I'll respond seriously if not.
no
It quite clearly is considering the second post directly talks about r/Kappa.
That's because Ganker and r/Kappa are two sides of the same coin. There's even a term for that, it's "Vappa".
>There's even a term for that, it's "Vappa".
no there isnt. thats just your made up baby babble word that you use.
Type "Vappa" in any Ganker or /vg/ archive and see for yourself.
yea, i can see you spamming it every day in /fgg/. you dont honestly believe anyone but you would use such a cringe ass baby babble word do you? kek
Nobody uses that moronic term you made up. You will die alone and everyone will forget about you. Not even the stupid term you made for an internet forum will stick. Your existence is that of a dirty bug. Merely an annoyance.
Go back to your shitty general and stay there
This whole thing was posted on r*ddit 3 years ago
Why do people from /vg/ make it so easy to identify themselves. It's embarrassing being seen with you.
>watching competitive nambla
lmao
Underrated. But McRibs was shown the curb. It's Pokimane's now.
I'm excited to see how the Skullgirls curse kills EVO this weekend
>Skullgirls curse
What's that?
Everytime Skullgirls was close to making it to EVO something happened that stopped it, the last EVO Skullgirls actually made it but the event was canceled because Mr. Wiz was outed as a pedo. So this year it will probably be something big, like an earthquake or WW3 breaking out
>Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire tournament
excuse me?
>Multiversus is already on the fricking schedule
SMASH gayS IN ABSOLUTE RUINS
WB money cannot be ignored by Sony. There's a $100K prize pool for it alone.
My eyes will be glued to Guilty Gear, Dragon Ball and SFV the most. Will definitely be watching MvC2 if I'm able.
Daigo tweeted from his plane that he's on his way to Vegas.
what the frick is E's Laf++
indie fighting made made by a single japanese guy from twitter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1_qlMPJW-s
is it fun?
It's fun but jank and feels unfinished (because it is). You have command prompt running in the background as you play last time I played it like an emulator of sorts.
can we play a few matches in it?
can I buy this without subscribing to a patreon yet?
Why not just throw it up on steam as early access?
Not quite right, soulcalibur starts at noon not 1
>tekken finals early afternoon on sunday
nice, can skip gg jive. when are announcements?
Too many fricking games. What should I focus on?
Whichever one you like? What sort of question is this
Guess I'll just prioritise top 8s 16s over pools and maybe have top 64s on the side monitor for upsets.
You get like this with tv channels too stupid? just pick something that looks interesting to you and watch it
what kind of dumbass watches TV anymore
My dad.
CF, +R, KOF XV, VF5 are the best.
shake my hand
should have shook his stick
>soulcalibur vi
Based, it deserved a proper slot. The meme plague really fricked this game over.
Has someone made one for the panel streams yet? I know SNK and Arksys are doing panel live streams and probably others as well.
I never knew there was so much side shit at evo. Kinda makes me wanna go someday
the fgc is dead, so no.
FGC has never been aliver.
objectively false. several evos have had way more activity than this one. on top of that, its now in control of sony and theyre turning into a different kind of event more similar to other cringe twitch events.
It's not a community anymore.
The FGC died years ago.
no it isn't. Maybe for anime, but it's filled with trannies and everything is stagnating. The SFIV era was constant growth, but the current era is just declining entrants.
SF and Tekken has trannies too
How many are top 8 major players and have a huge presence in the scene? SF's troony is a fricking Playboy model and Tekken's trannies are infamous for getting banned.
>how many are top 8 major players
Don't change the subject. You can hate on trannies all you want, be my guest, but don't try and make them not synonymous with all fighters at this point.
>but don't try and make them not synonymous with all fighters at this point
Because they aren't. All of them came from anime, they're like a virus trying to infect every community.
>All of them came from anime
Evidence?
trust me bro
I'm legitimately curious about his claim, I'll give anon a fair shot at substantiating himself. I'm not a troony expert like he is since I much prefer to play the game over getting mad at these things.
I avoid discord and communities outright.
You just said they're synonymous with every community. Prove it.
You're the one who started this line of dialogue, is changing the subject all you can do? You started this line of inquiry, substantiate it.
Name a SFV troony. Gllty Gear? They came from Guilty Gear.
Who else?
I googled glty and guilty gear and got very few results, most articles on her seem to focus on her capcom games' career. Can you share your information?
their name is gllty gear. They came from GGXX, you're not going to find it on google because tounrnaments were rarely recorded back then
So they became a troony after SFV?
Keep making shit up it's funny
>At 27, she looks young for her age. She was the teenager bouncing around in local arcades that looked like she was 8 years old. Her introduction to the competitive scene came through Tekken 5. While most of the local scene played games like Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Capcom vs SNK 2, and Marvel vs Capcom 2, Gllty wasn’t paying attention to those games. It wasn’t until Street Fighter IV released in 2009 when Gllty got serious enough about competing that she started traveling.
https://www.redbull.com/us-en/casuals-gllty-the-troll
Well, that settles that point
>her
>she
someone post that webm where he hugs and lifts LTG off the ground after a match
How did LTG live with himself after that
He's mentally untouchable, unlike the person who got (really) mad at my comment right below you. He literally laughed it off and moved on with his life, he has a losing streak to maintain
go back to your dark basement in your parents' house you sad piece of shit
Uh oh, someone is crying (male tears)
thanks anon. the video is better, but this is a good edit
>ltg let himself get man handled
He wins no matter at all
>Her
>They
He is a dude and that will never change.
Ortiz, Kayo, and Gllty are all Capcom players, it's bullshit.
I sure am but Frosty Faustings is still a long way off
no
Excited to watch a Tekken tourney with Koreans, Nobi, and Arslan again
Also expecting a Tekken 8 trailer
>Type Lumina got so cucked it couldn't even get a spot on Saturday
Wtf what did they do to deserve this?
The game is bad
That's putting it nicely
Nobody wants a trOllNo joint after Street 5, anon. Come on.
YES
I'M GOING ARE YOU GOING CUZ I'M GOING
I went for 2018 and 2019 for my game.
Hope you have fun, anon. Pro-tip, bring lots of water with you. Water in Vegas is fricking expensive.
I went in 2019 and honestly it was rather poorly TO'd and organized, I was pretty unimpressed with EVO just as a tournament.
Perhaps bringing in the combo breaker guy as the new general manager will lead to some changes.
I just want Ken and Kimberly trailer tbh
>Ken
>Kimberly
Are all but confirmed to make it in for the trailer but I'm also hoping that Cammy and I guess Deejay are shown off. If for the culture at the very least.
Too many blacks, I hope they show Cammy already though.
Are the japs going to Evo?
Tokido and Daigo are.
Not any of the mainstage stuff. The modern generation of fighting games are fricking boring. I'm probably going to watch some of the other stuff, though.
I only care about Tekken. For me it's just another major, albeit an more stacked and well produced event with a probable announcement at the end.
Tekken is trash.
cringe and gay
MASKU
>I only care about Tekken
imagine still caring for another free win for Arslan lmao, even the two seconds rounds in Strive will be more entertaining to watch
Nah.
Tourneygays suck.
No good games. No Mahvel. No USFIV. No Blazblue. No Melee.
cringe
Those games are all there. Just not main stage/stream. Except Melee.
>USF4
>good
At least that anon has an opinion of his own
Unlike you
lol nice comeback
Thanks
Diego likes Alpha 2 the best he doesn't get an opinion
He doesn't like Alpha 2 he likes Alpha 3 like every other player in Japan. I think he just has a hard on for guard break mechanics though.
He "likes" Alpha 3, he said it would be the best SF game if it wasn't for V-ism.
Yes he said it was a masterpiece and it's the best in the series and went on for like 10 minutes about the guard meter. Everyone agrees V-ism and custom combos are dumb.
09ers are so fricking annoying.
Tekken 8 trailer pls
Pls harada
May watch the tekken and sf finals
Mostly waiting for it to be over to get sf6 news and t8 yeah right
fighting games are dead
unless you're a tekken fan
Other than existing what are your hopes for T8?
A good OST for me.
Will gundam be there?
Nah, i like video games not eceleb wanking fests.
If you don't like fighting games, do you really like videogames?
yes? fighting games are just exploiting moronic AI and mashing buttons for 30 minutes
there's no satisfaction in that
You're describing every singleplayer game though
not at all
it's easy to exploit the AI in fighters and mashing buttons will bring you a victory without having to learn anything
that doesn't apply at all in things like rhythm games, or shoot em' ups, good action games, even RPGs have more depth than fighting games
Abusing RNG AI loops is pretty common though.
You can mash your way through action games like it's nothing.
Also I'd like to point out you're criticizing fighting games for being singleplayer when the event itself is a multiplayer event
multiplayer shouldn't be considered when criticizing a game
what if you had no internet, or friends
then you shouldn't be playing a multiplayer focused genre. It's like calling SMB a bad game because you have no limbs or are blind
Then you'd be a fricking idiot if you bought a fighting game with the intent to only play the arcade mode because, as you said, it's way too fricking simplistic to derive entertainment from.
Then you wouldn't be posting and the world would be a better place.
Fighting games are like chess, you can play it alone but it will be infinitely more fun if you play against someone else.
>he plays AI
>he doesn't play other people
??? Are you moronic?
>playing other people
Are you?
being social is what makes us intelligent creatures
video games are not social
i like to be social in better ways
It's not about being social, you fricking morons. It's about the competition, an AI will never be as hard to play against as a real human.
Yes that's true. I've also watched diago get btfo by an ai balrog in sf2.
AI play way better than actual people simply because of input reading resulting in absurd options for situations that would never happen in a match against humans.
Yes, we know Tekken and Street Fighter have shit singleplayer. Yes, making that clear was the point of bringing the topic up.
Input reading is cheating, creating an AI as good as a pro without input reading with currently technology is impossible.
Yeah, learning to exploit a broken AI with bullshit strats is super fun, that's what fighting games are missing. Who cares about multiplayer when you can cheese out a busted boss character instead?
so make the singleplayer fun instead of being lazy and only implementing cheating AI
fighting games have been around for, what, 40 years and they still can't make anything good?
They have but no one seems to care. Hell I even liked umvc3 heros and heralds mode to make absolutely broken teams.
The best way to do single player fighting games is to just use different genre's of games for that part. Like how Tekken just had beat em ups and bowling games or SF6 is doing some kind of open world thing. The typical 1 on 1 gameplay doesn't lend itself well to compelling singleplayer content. The most creative it gets is Mortal Kombat just literally throwing shit at you in the middle of a fight.
Yeah you're right. I really liked alpha 3 and it's world tour mode. You could power up any character to do crazy shit like 1 hit ko supers. It was a different time tough and definitely better with bros.
mortal kombat has robust single player yet less than 10% have completed just the story mode. Single player in a fighting game is a meme
Normies think Elden Ring AI is fun. AI is a lost cause when the single player community is content with moronic enemies.
there's not a single fighting game AI that is worth fighting for the experience of fighting it. At this point either you invent literal artificial intelligence or just give up trying to make them interesting.
I don't think there's actually a single AI in any game that is fun to fight for the experience of direct competition against the AI, in fact. Every single fun fight I can think of in any genre is fun because of the mechanics of the fight and the overall fight design, all the AI has to do is not get easily looped/cheesed or input read too hard.
I guess chess AI is pretty good and chess players use it to practice for playing real people, so that's an exception. But even RTS vs the ai is only fun for the experience of playing an RTS, making a base and building an army and making them fight, not the part where you try to outplay your opponent while he tries to outplay you.
Fighting game mechanics are designed to be fun for two humans to use to fight each other. That's basically all they're good at. If you remove the human element the flaws in AI and the unsuitability of the mechanics become apparent really quickly. It's impossible to mix the computer, if they fail to block something it's not because you overwhelmed them and they missed the reaction, it's not because you were in their head and knew they weren't ready for it, it just rolled dice and decided not to.
If you want to fight the computer play a beatemup or something where a boss can just have patterns and still be fun.
homie go make a video essay and spare us this shit
there's nothing wrong with arcade mode in fighting games, only commies cannot live without multiplayer in their games
also did not read your entire post, cope and seethe, Black person
competition is social
do you think chess isn't social?
Not really.
engaging with your opponents strategies and both of you changing approaches based on one another's actions is 100% social. Talking isn't the only form of socializing.
There's nothing social about that, you're engaging with them inside the game, not outside of it. After the game is over you can very well just get up and leave without speaking a single word to your opponent.
You can do the same with dancing or playing a game of pick up ball, but they're still social.
Spoken like someone who has never been in a tournament.
>Not saying howdy and asking where your opponent is from
>Not talking to your opponent about their stick
>Not saying gg
Don't be a fricking creep
Yes alpha 3 on ps1 has the best single player mode
Soul Calibur is also known for having amazing single player scenarios.
I still play 3 for that exact reason
Nice. Everyone is always rollback this or rollback that but fighting games have always needed to focus on immersive and fleshed-out offline modes. Both for longevity and regular player enjoyment.
Multiplayer has never mattered in a genre with such a low playerbase.
Yeah, people are buying these games for the story after all, they want to see Ryu not frick Sakura or Chun Li and lose to Akuma for the 37th time or see Kazuya/Heihachi throw Heihachi/Kazuya off another cliff again. That's the real appeal of the genre.
Can the west final win a Guilty Gear Evo?
no, they'll win at Strive though
If Infil was still in, the westerners wouldn't stand a chance.
There's only like 2 Japs going so maybe
>no soul calibur
>no DNF
not at all, no
There's a fightan sale going on on steam right now. Get your copies of Lumina so I can play this game with someone please
>playing Melty Blood: Type Shield
No.
already got a bump at numbers tonight, just go online now
Kamone is a hack
No thanks I aint a troony so i dont play nu melty
I already did on ps4 and I'm not paying for that shit again
>Lumina
They better give that trash out for free
Pay people to download it
So are we still going to ignore what happened to Infil and just watch EVO and enrich its globo homosexual supporters as if nothing happened? You people are fricking disgusting, go frick yourselves.
What happened?

Essentially, not even the ones banning him know why they're banning him, they're just following the leftist trend of cancelling everyone they don't like.
so hes not allowed to go to evo, Im guessing cause of something he did in his personal life?
He had some legal problems with his wife that were already solved in the court, but leftists are still pissed he was found innocent and are trying to cancel him from every major event.
I'm glad fighting games was never my thing.
so do these tournaments actually do background checks? That's a good and serious question. Otherwise it's just a bunch of moral busybodyies circlejerking
Of course not. Infiltration's case is the exception because he's huge and it blew up at the time.
no, they just follow trends, you just have to say stupid shit once and you're banned everywhere
No this was all UltraDavid's doing. He always had a vendetta against Infiltration for god knows what reason and took the opportunity to wipe him from tournaments.
They absolutely do not.
You are free to sign up on sites like Smashgg, there is absolutely no way they know anybody's background unless it's been discussed previously on social media channels
a bunch of israelites, to be more precise
>Jews aren't white
lmao. He wants to be a minority so bad.
They are chameleons. They’re white when it’s good and not white when it’s not convenient.
demon people
stfu dickhead
Stay mad, wifebeater
>he doesn't beat his wife
have fun being stepped on.
I care more about announcements for games than I do for infiltration at the end of the day, yes. Once you find a way to stop the annoying buttholes running EVO from banning infiltration, let me know.
Im euro so i cant watch anyways but i dont care about some random asiatic lol.
sneed
at least he got one
I only care about Tekken sorry
Excitement for this Evo, not just here but even on twitter has been low. The FGC is kill.
People are tired of the old games. The only thing I see people hyped about are reveals for new games.
Japan doesn't even give a shit about evo this year. Strive is not what they wanted tbh
he's even banned in korea now
literally nobody likes him
source?
translation Black person
I can't read that shit.
SpiritZero (official SFV CPT and GG organizer in Korea, they do offline events and weekly online tournaments) are banning him from all their tournaments. Says they respect Capcom's decisions as a Capcom licensee
infiltration rigged brackets and beat his wife
korean players also called him out for being a piece of shit for years
>infiltration rigged brackets
FGC grassroots. you can't blame him
>beat his wife
she deserved it
I stand with infiltration
The FGC is kill, the time to fight is long gone. Every single major tournament in the west handed Infiltration a ban without explaining him why and they all did it in the same day. You know what that means? It means all these major tournaments are no longer separate entities, they are all under the eSport banner now and their general is Rick The homosexual. It's over.
no one cares
i feel bad for him, guy was doing his best but then some homosexual with hateboner who happened to be in right place at right time decided to smear him for whatever reason and now his life is ruined, just like that
literally nobody cares about infil, the fgc has largely outgrown "oldhead" personalities and players in general, and has definitely outgrown "problematic" ones
if you're still talking about infil you need to go outside
The only reason he’s banned is unironically racism, if he was anything but Korean he would have some sort of ally on the scene but he does not so he’s fricked
Like half the issue is nobody even knows korean so people get meme translations, people think he literally raped his wife and went to jail and other stupid shit
i don't remember him being racist towards anyone
no, saying a no no word does not equals being a racist
he wasn't
but he should have been
I agree it's bullshit. Fricking Noel Brown beat up a woman and he can go to evo.
Meh evo is dead and over. International players aren't even bothering to participate besides Tokido and Daigo who are just paid shills now.
I support Infil but this is the last breath of evo before it goes full Twitchcon. After this I'll just watch Japanese tournaments I guess.
Non trannies and non Black folk support him.
Will it not shit the bed like last year?
can't cancel pokimane
Infiltration has been a piece of shit for more than a decade, and literal Reddit king lmao, this was just karma at him for all the cheap shit he's done at tournaments
God can you guys get some new material to complain about?
The old FGC is dead, the new FGC is run by woke morons so there's no reason to be excited.
never been excited about EVO, what is there to be excited about? Announcements? After someone has won a title noone cares until next year when it is EVO again
The fricking competition, you moron?
I can watch any other calendar tournament or regional events where the top players play for competition
Last actual match they got me hyped was 2013's kof grand finals. I've only been tuning in for announcements since.
kof is trash, play sfv moron
No u
That was fire. I feel you.
>6-0 runback with goodbye esaka playing and some of the craziest ex kyo rushdown I've seen at that point
It was magical, I wasn't even much of a kof fan back then, I think I was sitting through it just because it was on and I was up.
Is there a video of that shit?
If you got 30 minutes to kill.
i love all the evo gamers i’m seeing in vegas, good luck tomorrow gamers
I will only watch Melty Blood,
The good one or the bad one
no
FGC died 7 years ago. Only people left are newbies and tournament players with no other sources of income.
I was at the last sf4 championship ever. It felt like the end of an era, it wasn't supposed to be the end of everything.
I'll watch Granblue, but the fact that the one honest new fighting game died that early speaks volumes about the casual mashers that have taken over the genre
It came out at a bad time
>I'll watch Granblue
homosexual
The game's combo system is built around mashing wtf are you on about
the game has slow walkspeeds and the dashing has a million years of startup. Your feet are glue and it isn't fun to take turns with blockstrings.
sounds like tekken
Tekken has the ability to low, mid, high crush moves through ducking, jumping, priority, sidestep, backstep, and armor. GB has some of this but a lot is regulated to meter and very sparse, almost every move is avoidable in any neutral situation in Tekken.
>granpoo
>not casual masher
Lmfao what the frick am i reading. games fun for sure but wtf
Combofiend was right, singleplayer is a meme and character are just functions, people will never admit that though
Characters are a combination of function and aesthetics. If aesthetics didn't matter then just make a fighting game where every character has the exact same model and see where that takes you.
it takes me there
Yes, this is exactly why SFV was a success and sold millions upon millions of copies. Total disregard for visuals or single player.
SFV sold 6 million copies unironically.
Indeed, after years of struggling to get people to forget about it's disastrous launch that is too this day the only thing anyone cares about.
yeah they should've fixed the netcode, input lag, and simple characters earlier
>character are just functions
Explain why Multiversus was so successful, or how Dragon Ball Fighterz is by far Arcsys' best selling game
God it's so weird that GG Strive has the highest number of applicants. Shit feels like a strange dream.
It's the newest not dead game there, makes sense to me. Tekken 7 and SFV have run their course, people are ready for new shit.
>simplified for morons who don't like fighting games
>troony friendly
>newest fighting game released so far
makes sense.
>troony
Look out anon there is a troony under your bed! Jk jk I know you don't even have a box spring.
Bad post.
>make a fun, accessible game
>game is popular
Only a fighting game fan could type this, read it over, and still think it's something worth posting.
so TFH should be almost as popular as Strive huh?
>game made by fighting game autists for fighting game autists
>make it pony themed on top of that
Yeah, super accessible, widespread appeal. Good, smart post you just typed and sent, moron.
Yeah, it's easy as shit and fun to play. It's got like 3x the reversal and IB window Strive does and costs like 75% less.
should be super popular right?
What an incredibly moronic take holy frick
>evo weekend
>rta in japan week
getting my tendies and shitposting socks ready
none of the games besides tekken are exciting to watch and I don't even play tekken
really shows why tekken is damn popular
KOF XV is pretty exciting to watch.
They need to ban the fricking training stage and fix performance on the others.
But every fighting game uses the training stage
not tekken
And it's trash in all of them.
Killer Instinct restricts theirs to just training mode.
Source on the performance being bad on certain stages?
>The King of Krohnen XV
Team composition is very varied right now among pros.
I almost bought it today, but after seeing that the matchmaking is still fricked I just stopped
>I'll never have a Greek roommate who worked at a taqueria and would bring home mexicans for us to play kof with while getting smashed on ouzo and tequila again
Damn ...
You're just a little b***h constantly coming up with new excuses to not play games.
What's the relationship between Leona and Chang?
Zero. All the art of them together is just a reference to a funny little bug of their intro animations
>mfw I'm more excited about game announcements than the tournament itself
The flagship games are either at the end of their lives or absolute trash like Strive, fighting games are more popular than ever but the games keep getting worse
>games are more popular than ever but the games keep getting worse
The modern industry in a nutshell
POST YOUR MAIN(S) RIGHT NOW!!!
YEAH THATS WHY I LOVE WRESTLING
Oops got too excited
not really, not many hype games, strive is shit. sfv is shit.
tekken is the only hope.
Tekken 8 tomorrow. I can feel it.
hope so, tekken carries the fgc
>sfv is shit
you have shit taste
He is right tho. SFV is so boring to watch.
sfv isnt fun, even sf4 was way more hype
and obviously 3s/st are way better
which game scene has the most testosterone?
i'm thinking tekken
Tekken has many (true) female players, even in America
that's super turbo, tekken is full of closet gays
KOFXV is the only fighting game i like from those in the main stage. Maybe i will watch some SFV just for the japanese players
What should I say when I'm crowned champion at EVO?
say I LOVE dicky
How good a game is can be determined by how entertaining it is to watch
Tekken just btfo all the other games
tekken is boring as frick
poke

tech throw

hop kick BOOOOOOOM

I'm excited for the SC6 side tournament, they're putting a lot of effort into it and a lot of people are attending.
The full tournament on friday starts at 12pm PST, then they're doing a team tournament on saturday at 10am.
Is that shit any good?
Yeah, it's arguably the most balanced fighting game of the generation and got there without sacrificing character kits or playstyle variety. Only got one main EVO showing but it was fricking good.
Soul Calibur VI feels great to play and is super engrossing as a spectator game.
Shame about the netcode.
I take it no one plays the game online? It hovers around 300 on Steam but I assumed it was one of the fighting games that are more popular on PS4.
I'm not sure about PC, sorry. I can at least attest to the fact that PS4 is indeed relatively active.
tell me what the side games are and when they start. Cause all that interests me is tekken more or less of the "main" games.
>granblue and not uniel or blazblue
so stupid.
read the thread fricking Black person
Literally the fourth post moron.
im watching this solely cause its the day sfv is done for
and theyre probably going to show some sfvi but thats secondary
i want to watch sfv die for good
Anyone want to play me for a bit in DNF Duel? Playstation.
Is there an EVO sale going on for fighting games?
Not yet, but there's usually one when the events actually start
Yeah but it sucks ass

>she only has one move
Jam is just gonna be Giovanna with cards.
and shes wearing shorts
I'm still asspained about what happened to baiken
Why? Her breasts are still big.
How come Strive isn't dominated by Japanese players like the other GGs were?
How do you know it isn't
Oh shit this is the first time it's going to be at an international stage isn't it?
No there was a kumite a young jap won with low tier
this is the first big open major, but Japan has won all invintationals and exhibitions they were in
No that first international stage thing was redbull kumite and Japanese won that too
They don't play it
Strive is not a real Guilty Gear game. Imagine if Capcom made a Street Fighter game where they removed half the moveset of all characters and toned up the damage by 50%. No one would call it a Street Fighter game.
So SFV if the damage was higher?
SFV retained most characters's movesets.
Street Fighter installments have had more drastic changes between games than Strive's had with previous Guilty Gears.
SFII has literal ToD combos guy
Missing link is a guilty gear game
XX is a guilty gear game
Petit is a guilty gear game
Isuka is a guilty gear game
Overture is a guilty gear game
Xrd and Strive are guilty gear games
You may not like it but so long as daisuke is in charge these will all be GG games to be enjoyed even if some are enjoyed by less or more numbers of people
Alright, Ganker, forget about the main stage stuff. Of the many side tourneys, which would be most worth checking out?
DNF, definitely. That's going to be wild.
I'm checking out BBCF, UMVC3, and UNI
Maybe even some P4U and Hokuto no Ken if it's there.
Is Covid affecting how many Japs are capable of attending? I'm not familiar with how the Jap government is controlling population movement, if they are at all.
Not Covid, but recession. It's like 30% more expensive for them to travel to the US now, you can thank Trump for that.
>GBV is 11 dollars
Alright, that's actually a decent price but is it worth sating my curiosity if the combo game looks really basic
It's not a fun game to play no matter the price
That's for me to decide.
then fricking buy it, dumbass
I just did, get fricked!
Good, you fricking homosexual. Now play me
That's the issue for me. It seems incredibly slow and like a proto-DNF Duel
are there people online to play against?
not unless you want to beg on a barren discord
Depends on your region. There are in NA and JP.
Probably not. It's another big con in my decision to even try it out.
If they put the Melty tournament in the venue bathroom and broadcast it from there, then I would watch.
Frick no this is some dusty ass shit. The side tourneys are where the fun is this year.
i wish i could do combos bros why has god forsaken me
God is telling you to play a grappler
If I could teach my 11 year old nephew and 13 year old sister how to do a combo in 2 minutes you can learn a 8 hit combo minimum in 1
reminder fighting games are prevalent in the Black person, asiatic, troony and pedo communities. if you watch or play fighting games, you are a member of the aforementioned communities.
Proud pedo reporting in
why are white people so bad at fighting games and why do they care so much?
generations of nepotism doesn't work when a genre is easily accessible and doesn't require a $4000 PC with peripherals
White people are just bad at everything in general. Civilization was built through the sweat of black people.
Why couldn't they build Africa then?
>He doesn't know about Egypt, Ethiopia, Carthage, etc.
>nigcel fantasy
Ok lol
>Egypt was a fantasy
I mean it's old as frick and doesn't excuse how things turned in modern history after that but really?
Did the aliens build the pyramids then?
>pedo
hey that's me
https://discord.gg/ETjQ7AwU
>melty finally on main stage
>couldnt afford to fly out this year
its not fair bros
Strive is a troony game
Melty is a troony game
why do all threads always get derailed into troony talk
How big of a shitshow will Strive be? Think it'll end up like that last big tournament where a troony said trans rights and frick the Supreme Court on stage?
The trannies won't even get to top 16 with asian players on.
Is punk playing GGST?
Yah.
You know what, anon, I'll let you have this discussion. I'm really not interested in discussing trannies to continue this line of inquiry.
>meh
Didnt gllty get banned from tournaments, or at least publicly exposed, for groping female attendees? And tried to play it off on some "its ok, i'm a "girl" too, its normal haha" type shit?
The only real trans fighter that has maintained relevancy as a competitor is Tricky Ricky Ortiz, he never changed his main and almost always makes it to top 8 in most tournaments. Gllty never made it far, anyway
frick gg jive and sf jive.
where are the HNK side tournaments at?
this game isn't real. It's an elaborate piece of performance art created by an anonymous japanese street artist, all the supposed players are paid actors just making silly faces and flailing at a controller while the screen plays a prerecorded video
It's at my house on my ps2. We're eating pizza rolls.
ok. should i bring some code red or voltage?
Swing by Taco Bell and buy everyone a round of baja blast
gotcha. see you in a few and i better not catch any fricking rei mains in your house
Worse. We have Toki's instead
I wish QMZ could fly out to EVO
There was one in 2019 but honestly it's probably too expensive to bring out a bunch of consolized Atomiswaves just to play HnK.
>starts midnight (tournament time)
>ends 12am next day
Sucks to be in a shitty timezone. At least things like TI are watchable for me even its during euro hours. Guess I'm going to be a Zombie on Monday for work.
this might be the year all the side games > the main games.
is Leah “GIlty” Hayes uncancelled yet?
What's the panel for tomorrow? Will that have the announcements or will I have to wait until game finals
Friday is mostly pools. All news comes late Saturday and most of Sunday
It should be playable by now. The last time I tried it out was last Spring so I'm sure it's gotten a fair bit of development since then if they're considering it tournament viable. IIRC the dev was also trying to add netplay.
Oh were you replying to me? (
)
If it doesn't have netplay currently then nevermind.
The Beast is on his way!!!!
THE BEAST!!!
Can't wait for yet another v-trigger activation into chip kill. It's a travesty how Daigo went from one of the most hype players to one of the most boring to watch.
>most hype players
He was literally DEFINED by how lame he played though
i thought justin wong was known as the lame one
They technically were defined by how "lame" they played
>Even in Japan Daigo was called "that lame guile player" who everyone begrudgingly respected for winning but absolutely hated fighting him
>JWong literally didn't lose a round for a period of like two years in MvC2 because of his Storm air games and this still served him well into Mvc#
In 4 he was hype because of how consistently he pulled of complex inputs.
I'm entertained just hearing about him win.
