What are you playing? What are you looking foward to?
For me, I'll play MK1 for fun until Akuma (and season 1 balance patch) drops in SF6...or until Project L drops.

Why is the FGC so fucking bad?
I love fighting games but lately after trying to find some players for UNIST to prepare for UNI2, I've found that it's just a massive circle-jerk with retards doing their hardest to BM others.
That's what happens when your game depends on discord to survive. Spaces like that usually are built around a few known faces of the community who eventually get drunk on the admin power. I quit my local UNI discord because people would rather discuss drama than play the game (doesn't help that the netcode is complete ass)
>BM
Does that mean bad mouth? Also I'd wait for the UNI threads to come back on Ganker. The players have a good range of skill levels and everybody is pretty friendly. You will improve greatly if you stick around too.
I'll probably do that. The only way I can reliably find matches right now is through the Discord and the people in there make me not want to try.
What region? Also would you be interested in playing in alittle bit?
Bad manners. Tea bagging and stuff
I spent my whole month on 360 trying to play this online... nobody. Ironically, new uploads of matches happen. Fml I just wanted to see sfxt online at least once
I'll stay with ttt2 and Kof that still see players.
On disc was the lowest point of garden gnomeery; locking everything that was already in the game data you already paid for. Cuckery of highest degree. Capcom was warned about and disregarded the warning, they got shit deservingly. Also add that tag fighters need big roster above 40 characters
The game suffered from capcom being stupid and on disc dlc was just the most noticeable one, because there were lots of mistakes with it.
You mean why is your discord chud game dead? Should be self-evident.
SF6 will only be good after 3 years of patches, just like any SF game
Can’t get into sf6. Couldn’t wait for it launch after grinding 3s to a nub for so long. The clumsy input buffer dropping all my shit and doing shit I didn’t intend kills it for me. Drive impact is peak unga and playing against it isn’t fun. Might get back to it if they ever announce Dudley or Sakura. Dudley in sf6 would be like letting a bull into a petting zoo
> Chudley
No chance. We're getting this lad soon
Dead genre
Based
sf6 while waiting for tekken 8 then UNIB2 later.
why you want this genre to fail? finding matches in sf6, tekken 7 and strive is faster than anything in the past.
MK1 until Tekken 8

These games only live on as DLC costumes and ports, some like Rival Schools don't even get ports due to music and VA licenses plus being 3D instead of 2D like Cyberbots and Darkstalkers and good luck trying to buy an used copy since gays sell it over 190 dollars plus shipping, best way to play this stuff is just to pirate it anyways
Rival Schools finally snuck into SF in a playable capacity via Akira, though that's still a consolation prize. I think RS & Power Stone have some hope as long as Itsuno is around, especially once DD2 is out and he's finally going to work on things that aren't DMC or DD for the first time since the mid-00s. He's already said that he'd direct CvS3 if Capcom & SNK struck a deal for it.
Why is she black and wtf is with the head
That's a devilotte (who is white) skin for Menat (delicious chocolate).
Ment is tanned not choco.
Dont insult her like that. You gona defend Netflix Cleopatra next
>You gona defend Netflix Cleopatra next
No I'll not, you're bad at predictions
Street Fighter has no playable e-boi characters to cosplay as Devilotte (they went as far as trying to claim that Sakura was never underage or an actual schoolgirl in the first place on recent years despite being a student in the Alpha series and Rival Schools, with devs back them claiming she was 16 and partially inspired by Usagi from Sailor Moon who was 14 at the start of the anime and 16 at the end of it), but I believe Cammy would be a better fit for a Devilotte cosplay since they do kind of look similar aside from the muscles and scar
Capcom of the 90s and 00s were based as fuck. Capcom of today are utter shitheads and wish they would just stop.
The older you get the more u see what u once loved get turned into shit

SF will always be the gold standard that reflects where the genre is at. If SF sucks, that means the industry overall is in a bad place.
KOF has everything SF does but better, the only reason you think this is because you're a retarded fanboy.
>KOF has everything SF does but better
I wouldn't say that. Neutral largely being based around hopping doesn't come anywhere close to SF neutral.
KOF has both footsies and even more movement options, has both chains and links and the meter options are much more interesting.
The characters and music are also all miles ahead, i don't even dislike SF but the only reason it's even more popular is because it came first and people grew a sort of brand loyality towards it.
I can't say that I like all KOF characters but there are some standouts for sure. On the meter options stuff I can't agree with you as KOF is more cookie cutter combo conversions (normal > command normal > special > super) which makes the cast feel abit too same-y (makes sense since learning 3 unique characters' combo routes with lots of variance would be a pain) gameplay-wise.
That kind of combo is only really in 02 and I guess XI, but even then that's not taking into account MAX mode and tag combos respectively. 98 is simpler like ST and XIII is more about drive cancels (in or out of HD) and XV is at least as much about EX move routes. You sound like you have very little knowledge about KOF and like you haven't really played it; you are under no obligation to have either, but it doesn't make sense to pontificate about it in that case.
Obviously that's only speaking of combos too, you still have both kinds of guard cancels as well as use of EX moves as utilities (moot point though because SF has been doing that for a while)
SF6 has no neutral thugh. It's all drive gayry...
The neutral is learning to work around the drive stuff because eventually you and/or your opponent run out of drive gauge if you overuse it. Meter management has become much more important to avoid chip death due to burn out. There in-lies the neutral. Whether or not you like that though is up to the players however (most people aren't fans of it since some characters benefit from it more heavily than others like Ken).
It's true. It's simply a better fighting game, but snk is more retarded than capcom
KOF designs are boring
Idk men,SFV fucking sucked but we had other pretty good fighting games
If anything SFV being so bad for years is partially why a bunch of other games saw success, alongside Marvel Infinite being total dogshit.
how come they de-censored her on SF6? capcom was that drunk with le e-sports back then?
Yes, gotta remind you that SFV almost made into the Olympics and having that much exposure means more people knowing about your product
SFV's entire presentation was squeaky clean esports shit down to the UI. Most people don't realize that the free tracksuit costumes only existed back for a big 2020 Olympics esports showcase for the sake of visual consistency and not being too sexy. I'll take what SF6 is doing any day even if it doesn't always land (Not On The Sidelines is so bad and yet the World Tour map theme is so good, I don't get it).
now that i remember they went with that espn bullshit and releasing the game with only training and online basically, not even a shitty arcade with bison at the end to let casuals warm-up.
Giving Cammy's deafault outfit pants is just as cringy, giving you the HUMAN option in the select your gender part is also retarded
It's shit, but still less shit than what some recent Nintendo games and ports do where they try to remove any mention of genders whatsoever for the American release
>he's posting it again
>(You)ing nearly year-old pasta
She cute
i really DONT wanna see that alleged Power Stone relaunch now by how bad they globohomo bastardize her, not that one rumor had any vericity tough.
What were the secret endings that were removed?
The Morrigan/Lilith naked image that's in the same image. It was likely done to avoid a Mature rating for the collection, as a colorful arcade collection getting hit with an M or high Cero rating would hurt sales.
Pic related, the PS1 port (which I own) and the PSP port have it if you play the Vampire Hunter/Savior 2 extra mode
>you will never EVER see another Power Stone or Rival Schools game in your lifetime
feels bad man. In a way I guess it’s fine because all I want from a new Rival Schools is gooder grafix and some new characters, but they’d probably age everyone up and out of school to match the SF timeline and it would be all new characters with like Batsu as the gym teacher or something.
Speaking of Power Stone, the official American release of the anime was censored and no one ever bothered to sub the original japanese version
?si=sBIbwLIbo_B77wKz
Red Earth is shit. Cyberbots as well. The only games worth playing in the "Darkstalkers Collection"--er--"Fighting Collection" are Dark Stalkers 1-3 and Gem Fighter.
Been playing SF6 almost daily since launch, but I'm getting fed up of the constant Cammy, JP and Ken players now.
Input reader needs some adjusting too, I don't even bother using DP to anti-air now as there's a good chance I'll unintentionally throw a projectile or use a level 1 super instead.
That, and the game will decide to eat my inputs for no reason leading to dropped combos and being able to use an invincible wake-up reversal come down to a coin toss
Can't make any progress in ranked either because of the region locked matchmaking so I'm either fighting high Diamond/Master players or illiterate WiFi warriors from a different continent in Battle Hub instead
I'm interested in A.K.I so I'll use a few rental tickets to mess around with her and then take a break until year 2's balance patch
Wish I could play this one somewhere seems to been scrubbed from existence
waiting for tekken 8 or a sf6 dudley reveal, otherwise, nothing
The gf and I play Ultra SF4 a few times a week, and occasionally I play some Melty with a local friend of mine.
MK1 looks a lot better than 9 & 11 and possibly better than X but that's a low bar, not worth getting at launch I don't think. SF6 is good but the drip of the important content is shockingly slow. T8 looks very fun but in a way that is worse for the competitive scene, it's a weird thing to see. Strive slowly gets very slightly better with each update but it's still deeply flawed and worse than +R & Rev2 overall while having dogshit lobbies. Project L has the right designers behind it but fuck I hate LoL & Riot, if it wasn't going to be free I wouldn't touch it. GBVS sucked and Rising legitimately looks worse. UNIB2 is cool since it's just more UNI with rollback. DBFZ & SamSho players suffering as they wait for rollback. DNF Duel players suffering because there's only like twelve of us. Indie fighters doing okay with YOMI Hustle and Pocket Bravery releasing this year. Not a bad time to like the genre but there's always room for improvement.
SFxT v2013 is pretty good and one more update could've made it great. I wish they could relist it but it took them a while to get GFWL off of RE5 and they actually care about that game.
I will come back to Slime Rush 6 when they remove this mechanic.
you won't be missed
This meme isn't catching on, but I do find it genuinely funny that after you started forcing it the new Nick Smash clone revealed that it literally has a Slime Dash mechanic that works very similarly.
never going to happen, but they really need to tune down neutral slime, should cost at the very minimum 2 bars, also DI should be more risky i keep punishing DI spammers but when the outcome is a 30% combo they will keep spamming.
>What are you looking foward to?
Granblue Versus Rising
HFTF.
>Requires confirming a single poke into an install
>Positioning-based with consistent rhythmic inputs
>Only does about 30%
Fair.
Gonna try out AKI when she comes out, they really should do a balance patch at least by the end of the year
I wish modern fighting games had lobbies like the ones on fightcade, basically a giant chatroom where you can challenge anyone to a fight
why no big company has capitalized on something as basic as that blows my mind
They do. Have you not played any Arcsys fighters in the last decade? SF6 finally copied them with battle hub for sf6
They do. Street 6 literally has the Battle Hub and Arc Sys's shitty lobby system is what you're looking for in XXX/Xrd and Strive.
Capcom are dumbasses for not making battle hub obvious as the way to get casual games.
So much better than looking for rooms or sitting waiting on casual. Wasted weeks on that.
>People say Gief is bad
>Been steamrolling with him
I think people tend to over-simplify when it comes to tier lists, especially when it comes to lower ranks and just parrot what pro players say
Post your rank.
Silver IV, what now?
Zangief crushes low ranks because he does fuck tons of damage with SPD versus people who don't land their combos yet.
Hit Diamond and you rarely get to land it.
He's so bad, pros generally agree he's in his own tier. That's not to say he's terrible, but players like Snake Eyez who are insanely good just make him seem better.
The difference between Worst Character and Unplayable is lost on a lot of people. Gief loses matchups but I don't think there's anything unwinnable in the game. Gief/JP is the most lopsided the game gets and SnakeEyes showed that literally just understanding the mechanics behind JP's tools and having some patience gets you a long way.
>>The difference between Worst Character and Unplayable is lost on a lot of people
Well put.
>Gief/JP is the most lopsided the game gets and SnakeEyes showed that literally just understanding the mechanics behind JP's tools and having some patience gets you a long way.
I actually didn't think JP was that bad as Zangief until I played that Master rank and I realized just how difficult it is to get in versus a competent player.
I'm only Diamond rank, so I know in the grand scheme of things I'm still shit, but it bugs me when people say Zangief is great when they're sitting in gold. Even platinum wasn't that bad a time with him.
Tried SF6. Went back to tekken 7. Waiting for tekken 8. Rumor is that ryu is the guest character and will be announced on the 29th. Another rumor says that tekken X street fighter might still be happening but with a smaller team.
Do you have a source for either of those things? TxSF being real would probably make an SF guest in 8 redundant, Akuma was in 7 mostly as a remnant of the work on the game that existed. TxSF would be really interesting to me, more than T8, since despite its issues I really liked seeing how the Tekken cast were translated into 2D and seeing the inverse would be fun.
I think the rollback update is all we're getting. If a 2 was on the horizon they wouldn't have kept putting out updates after Lab Coat and just marketed the sequel with rollback like UNI 2 is doing.
Apparently yellowotion is teasing it or something?
Either way he said something big is coming to tekken 8. Personally I’m just happy customisation is back.
Wait for the comic-con. Big annoucements are coming.
Expecting Tenkaichi 4 and another theatrical movie.
Movie and a mini series anime. The web anime will borrow some elements from GT, it should feature a first canonical look at the Demon Realm, probably going to canonize a lot of Makaioshins.
This panel is being shilled hard. Expect multiple annoucements. I am betting a movie and a supposed web anime that is being leaked.
SF6 sucks so hard i'm considering switching to anime games until SF6 gets a Super Ultra Arcade Not-Shit Edition which somehow fixes the game
but then i will have to interact with literal trannies in discord because no normal human being plays them and holy fuck do i hate trannies
>but then i will have to interact with literal trannies in discord because no normal human being plays them and holy fuck do i hate trannies
You already post here, only difference is everyone is now a namefag.
If i was forced to play with people here because no one else outside of one specific general plays the fucking game and that general would just gossip 24/7 and ignore my calls to play the fucking game with me that would be a fair comparison
wait OH SHI-
The only sane options outside of SF are MK and Tekken. If don't like any of these you should quit this genre.
Whatever you do stay away from the anime arena fighters.
I tried 3 of them and they fucking sucked
If you hate trannies then its time to stop playing fighting games
>SF has the red haired chud fuck
>Tekken has Leo
>GG has the blonde "trap" guy
>All MK "female" characters look like trannies
Marisa isn't a chud you fucking larper
>looks like a chud
>isn't a chud
shut up crapcum fanboy
>Marisa isn't a chud you fucking larper
lol
>Leo
Leo is ambiguous, not trans.
If Leo is not a chud, then why do I want to fuck "her" more than actual women? Check mate.
because you are a gay
>gay
>wanting to fuck a woman
I accept your concession.
I am just waiting for FighterZ 2. The game had SOVL.
Been playing SF6 since shortly after launch but honestly, getting tired of it. I only want to play Gief and all of a sudden I just don't enjoy the experience of it.
Got my shit pushed in by a master JP recently who actually complimented me, but it felt like a waste of time.
I don’t understand how anyone can find Gief’s gameplan any fun but you do you anon.
i only play bbcf these days
menat was fun but sfv generally wasn't
I hate how slow is the content drop for SF6 because of world tour. I just wish we had more stages, costumes, characters....
I will stay in MK1 for a while...
Mk1 any good?
Looking like the best NRS game yet barring maybe Injustice 2, but their bar is so low that that doesn't say much. I do genuinely like the Kameo system, your choice actually affects a lot of your character's options making each one almost like an MKX Variation except they're all available to every character. I'll still wait for a sale since I don't care about the story.
It's a NRS game, so there's that...but it seems to be their best game, and the best MK overall. At least it's absolutely rich in content compared to other fighting games, so you will have fun for a while, at least until SF6 gets more content, or we get tekken 8, project L, etc
Been getting into SF6 lately, it's a lot of fun even if I do end up losing 2/3rd's of all my matches
>crossover between then (and even now) hugely popular IPs
>everyone hated it, not even rollback could save it
why
I think most fans of those IPs found the game unappealing. RWBY fans just didn't care from what I saw, and people who weren't RWBY fans generally didn't seem to like it's inclusion in what was otherwise an anime fighter crossover, and fans of any of the other IPs in there seemed unhappy with how the characters were handled. Very few people had a reaction like "I'm excited to play as Ragna and Yu together" or something like that while many people had a reaction of being disappointed by how much their favorite character was being butchered.
Slapdash game that only existed as a backdoor for RWBY content because Mori is a massive waifufag. Only thing good it did was show that active tag + multiple assists is very possible to map to a controller intuitively, which is something better games would later pick up on. Well, that and having modern Blitztank sprites (if only because they were piss-easy to make relative to every other Blitzkampf character).
It was incredibly soulless for a crossover fighter.
Yeah the gameplay mechanics were suspect but it probably could have had a slightly longer lifespan if it had more single player memes and celebrating each of the franchises instead of bumbling around with like 5 low budget arcade stories.
>Add P4U characters
>They play nothing like P4U
You could say the same for UNIB and BlazBlue. They tried to jam them into a tag-fighter but didn't bother to try to retrofit the systems they came from into the tag-fighter.
Case in point, I'm one of them (see, above)
I actually refunded the game after trying out the team I wanted to play (Yuzuriha/Yukiko). The former just felt all kinds of wrong. I nope'd immediately.
Waiting for the AKI dlc
if mk1 was 20 gb and $40 i would play it
but 100 gb and $70 is retarded
i'll just wait for akuma dlc in sf6
>100GB
Christ. SF6 letting you uninstall World Tour while keeping the game launchable to save space needs to become industry standard. Not just in fighting games either, everything AAA.
at least call of duty offers this as well
mw19 is 250 gb or something with all modes installed
but modern slop is just getting too damn big in general
>mfw Dragon Ball FighterZ takes less than 10GBs to install
and it looks great as well
images with soul > full retard 3D models
FighterZ has SOVL.
>images with soul > full retard 3D models
DBZFZ is 3D
Just waiting for UNI2 and playing other non-fighting games in the meantime. I'm dreadfully bored of MBTL.
But hey, just two more weeks until TGS and they show off one of the three new characters.
I'm playing Strive, but I'm undecided whether I'll keep playing or pick up CF again. I'll probably play one or the other, or maybe Xrd, until Tekken 8 or UNI 2, I forget which is coming out first.
I hope they have more footage of the other characters at TGS because the only newcomer that's kind of interesting to me is Kuon, I don't like the look of Tsurugi at all and Kaguya seems just okay but I wish it was Zohar or something instead.
There's going to be a playable demo at TGS too so we just have to hope there's a stream set-up there for us at home to see the matches.
I'm interested in all three characters since I'm always itching for something new to do in the game.
I loved this fucking game. My main problem with Street Fighter is I only want to play my main so getting to pair up my main with anyone was so good.
It's an unfortunate case. There's a good game buried under all the dumb Ono decisions and the on-disc DLC controversy, but it took a year for them to put out an update that only dug up about half of its potential. SFxT Steve is more fun than Balrog, Dudley, Ed, or actual Tekken Steve.
>There's a good game buried under all the dumb Ono decisions and the on-disc DLC controversy
I thought the community reaction to that was the dumbest fucking thing.
>there are more characters on the disc, we're entitled to them!!
As if companies haven't started the DLC before the game goes gold. It's not as if they sold you characters and then took them away.
With SFxT it was more egregious than usual cases, people found a full dozen characters all >80% complete, some basically in a playable state. Some of those characters even appeared in pre-release marketing like Cody & Guy, who were also SF4 asset reuse. Marvel Infinite didn't even have on-disc DLC of that magnitude but it got shit for its first batch of DLC characters being in the story mode at launch.
In my opinion, it's no different to having them sit on the servers versus the disc. Like the game launched with 38 characters already, that's a fuckton.
Fair enough, it was just the breaking point for a lot of people, not even just Capcom fans, sicne this was still 7th gen when publishers were starting to experiment with how far they could push DLC. SFxT was the second Capcom fighter to have DLC characters ever, and Marvel 3 had limited it to only two due to the decision to make Ultimate instead of more DLC packs.
Yeah, to be fair I understand it and while I don't agree with SFxT specifically, DLC has slid down that slippery slope and it's a pity that people have come to accept games as a service along a $70 price tag.
"On-disc dlc" was the fucking dumbest controversy, they didn't lie about what you were buying with the base game only to charge you for characters they put assets on the disc to help people with shit internet not have to download huge updates on the PS3/360 (since you needed the character data available locally if someone online used a dlc character). You knew what you were paying for at base and as DLC from the jump. It being on disc or a download is a completely irrelevant point.
It seems so quaint now, on-disc dlc seems like nothing compared to bullshit like lootboxes.
The characters were all available to play from the disc and locked out at launch. That is why it was a big controversy and not the fact that DLC exists. If they were already ready to play from the base release then why not add them to the base roster (besides extreme garden gnomery)?
>If they were already ready to play from the base release then why not add them to the base roster
Budget for game is X
Budget for DLC is Y
It's not a complicated answer. They could have ducked the whole thing by leaving the dlc off the disc and making it a download. Would have changed nothing in terms of price for content, you'd just have to download it manually. Capcom greatly overestimated people's intelligence though.
ArcSys pulled a pretty good fast one on dataminers with BBTAG. Just get the announcer to put in dummy lines for all potential characters in the files so you can't guess who's getting in or how much DLC will be coming.
Day 1 DLC is just as bad as on-disk DLC.
I don't give a shit what their budget was. If the characters were ready they should've been in the game from the start.
That is a childish view of running a business. They planned the game to have what it did, sold it honestly and planned DLC ahead of time. The content would not have been made without the DLC's expected revenue.
Again, I don't give a shit if it's a good business practice, but it's clearly an anti-consumer one.
There's nothing honest about making people pay to unlock content on the disc they already paid for.
I like your enthusiasm, I like where your philosophy is at but you're not considering the practical reality. This content was going to be in its mostly finished state either way, they'd satiate you by simply making it part of the update so the data is on your HDD instead of the disc. Either way the DLC sold to you would have been a 2kb unlock file. in 2012 with HDD space at a premium and DL speeds being what they were they really just tried to do things the best possible way. Unless you're rallying against the idea of having a DLC team work on DLC ahead of the base game being finished? In which case I refer you to my earlier statement.
>"It was planned"
>devs blew up budget and had to cope with it, every time getting it worse and worse ending with oddlc and gem packs
That's a nice bait if I ever seen one
You know what, maybe it wasn't planned. But they never not once lied to us about what we were buying for $60. That is a fact. Also not once did I bring up the gems that shit was a massive fuck up I'm not defending.
Nothing was planned; sfxtekken was an improv show covering mistakes with even worse mistakes. You don't fool me, goy
Plan or no plan, we were never lied to about what was being sold to us. Why is this simple fact so hard for you to comprehend?
Except showing characters on trailer that later would be locked, which is a lie. You're moving the goalpost, defense-kun
What trailer revealed a playable character only to not have them available at launch? Furthermore, did they lie about them being DLC? My argument is that prior to your purchase you knew exactly what you were getting for 60 dollars, I didn't move anything offense-chan.
Except you weren't, people was rightfully pissed when they knew characters on the game they bought were locked behind more money.
Yes you fucking did. It was clear as day what the roster at launch was they showed it multiple times. One quick search of SFxT full roster before heading to GameStop would have put you fully in the know.
Be it on disc or on a mandatory download, the nature of an online fighting game means all DLC data is locally available either way. You're splitting hairs when the reality is either way dlc for a fighting game is just an unlock key.
One of the trailers for Hugo and Poison shows Guy and Cody entering, two locked characters. It was a lie.
Again; mistakes being covered with worse mistakes. Anon was right, there was no reason for on disc dlc and you're defending it
I'm defending it because it was fucking nothing. Oh noes the data was on a DISC and not an online download? The horror!
Guy and Cody's appearance in that trailer was definitely a mistake (It's an isolated incident too) but that trailer was put out July 20, 2011. Game came out March 6, 2012. That's roughly 8 months to be informed before you could purchase the game. Again, there was no lie when you put down the 60 bucks that's my point and no one has been able to refute it.
>I'm defending it because it was fucking nothing. Oh noes the data was on a DISC and not an online download? The horror!
>it was nothing
>after paying $60 you realize at home you have to pay extra
>for something that was in the game instead of a download
It wasn't nothing. It was WAY WORSE than what already was expected!
>Guy and Cody
>Covered figure that was Sakura or Chrsitie
Way too many mistakea before the bomb expliding two weeks before release, bro
>Again, there was no lie when you put down the 60 bucks
>Guy and Cody on the trailers
Guy and Cody in a trailer (singular) at the end for about 5 seconds 8 months prior to release is so far the closest anyone has gotten to showing a lie.
When you got home you played the game, no such realization took place. DLC wasn't released until July 31, 2012; 3 months later. You realized you could buy 12 more characters 3 months after launch for 20 dollars which was a very low price for fighting game dlc even at the time. If you got it on Vita to play on the go the characters were free on PS3 and Vita. It was nothing and you're just exposing that you weren't there you're just piggybacking off of common outrage.
>Bro they showed an outline of a woman I couldn't even make out for a second, false advertising!
Try proof-reading this dumb shit you type before hitting submit. Really think about it.
>Guy and Cody in a trailer (singular) at the end for about 5 seconds 8 months prior to release is so far the closest anyone has gotten to showing a lie.
Showing it was clearly designed to be in the game and models done, yes. Not that they were avaiable on quotation marks
Models were done for SSF4, trailer was CG probably outsourced to a different studio. Proved nothing. Had it included game footage you'd have a point.
Was it really leaked so early? I won't lie I don't remember but either way it does depend how plugged in you were but I never understood what the big deal was. I knew what I was buying for 60 dollars, I got what I was sold.
>Models were done for SSF4, trailer was CG probably outsourced to a different studio.
Making the decision to paywall in game even worse since a couple were already reused assets. The studio making already needless CG movies was in direct contact with the devs hence why they were shown, unlike Sakura or more likely Christie in the other trailer.
The meeting was a couple months/weeks before release and capcom usa warned them since the xbox360 versions were always cracked at day 1 if not earlier.
>I never understood what the big deal was
Ofc you don't, you defend $80 for an incomplete game
They didn't paywall in-game they simply did not exist in game and cropped up later as DLC.
>Ofc you don't, you defend $80 for an incomplete game
Game was content complete at 60, 20 was for extra stuff. 20 for 12 characters is a good deal in 2012's fg market.
>They didn't paywall in-game
>On disc dlc wasn't a thing, I swear!
On disc dlc was a thing, I'm just saying it's not a big deal. Try and keep up.
It was a big deal, big enough to almost doom the game's fate. You're wrong and eager to die in that hill.
bro people with hacked consoles were able to lab and use characters months before they were released to public and they played them online too. That shit fucked both competitive scene and online play lol it was pretty big deal
My n-word I once used netflix on my hacked PS3 and they banned my account and console for life. I played the game at launch daily and not once did I see DLC characters.
Good for you then but i and many people did. That shit was plague on 360 unfortunately and MS was banning in waves so gays were able to play for months even online or lab offline before everyone legit.
You're getting baited; he knows ps3 version was completely ignored
>20 for 12 characters is a good deal in 2012's fg market.
Yes, goy! Good deal, not like Tekken Tag some time later with +50, bad bussiness I tell ya
Tekken Tag 2 was a huge outlier in the market overall. Both things can be true at once.
I know it was a big deal to a lot of people but I think they're fucking stupid for being so offended by it. The gems sinking the game I understand, poorly implemented, expensive, impossible to run at local events I get it. But the on disk characters? People needed to get a fucking grip.
>I know it was a big deal to a lot of people but I think they're fucking stupid for being so offended by it
Yeah, I know; you're wrong and don't want to face it. Doesn't change the fact you're defending the wrong side.
And gems were on the lesser evil end, they weren't harmful and completely cosmetic in the big picture. Even though, as on disc dlc, were part if the package that doomed the game.
Wrong how. Fucking explain to me how I am wrong. They sold us X for 60 dollars, we knew this before we gave them 60 dollars explain the dishonesty to me.
>But it was on the disc!!!!!11111
Why should I care where it was? Base game cost 60, I knew full-well what was in the base game before I bought it. Why am I outraged?
You have been told all this thread while you're being passive-aggressive
I have not been given one cogent counterpoint and it seems it will remain that way.
>I have not been given one cogent counterpoint
You want to be told what you want to hear, you confirmed you'll die on that hill
I want to be countered, you see I'm not really that invested in winning an anonymous argument. In a few hours, this entire thing may as well have never happened. No one will know who you or I even are. I post what I do to get countered and perhaps learn something or gain a new perspective.
So I ask again, if they sold us a game with the base roster filled us in completely on what that base roster was and we paid for it where was the lie? Why should I feel slighted?
>I'm not really that invested in winning an anonymous argument
Yeah, yeah. Not fooling me
I am begging you to share your perspective, I never understood why everyone was so fucking mad please tell me. You win, you're the best anon who ever anon'd now tell me why you felt slighted.
The more you double down on it, the less believable it becomes.
I don't care how believable it is, I just want an answer to the question. You win, here's your trophy now tell me in full why you felt slighted.
>Why should I care where it was? Base game cost 60, I knew full-well what was in the base game before I bought it.
Sounds like a (You) thing
How many of your ancestors were merchants?
None.
>When you got home you played the game, no such realization took place.
On disc dlc was datamined a month before release, there was such realization for players
Fucking this, exactly.
>they didn't lie about what you were buying with the base game only to charge you for characters they put assets on the disc
Conversation ends there.

Need to be honest, last fighting game I gave a shit about was SF5 and my hype vanished after season 1. I just play socially now.

Brought my ass into Master, I dont want anyone talking shit about this achievement, I'm happy as fuck. WAGMI.
Congrats on getting the equivalent of SFV Gold anon.
Thanks anon. How is your depression treating you ?
Both DSP and LTG got to master on multiple characters, don't let it get to your head
I don't. I'm celebrating small victories. Its one of many keys for happiness. But you wouldn't know it you demoralized garden gnome.
Don't kneel anon, WAGMI
dsp would body you in a ft10

Earned it.
Thanks, King.
I've sorta lost interest in SF6 after reaching Master with Ryu.
I've been out of the loop, will MK1 have any wacky Single Player based side modes or its all ESPORTS now?
Pretty sure it'll still have all the usual solo modes from the other NRS games, but Story Mode is definitely where the money's going. Don't expect a Kart Racer this time around. That said after SF6 the MK after this one might bring back Konquest.
>playan SF6
>decide to play Rashid on a whim
>do decently in my placement matches
>placed diamond 3 for no reason whatsoever
>beaten back down to platinum in one sitting
Why did they throw me into the deep end, bros? That was a soul crushing experience.
Heh that may explain why some diamond players are free while some other are hardass. Nothing personal anon, you're just not at that level. Get your ass back on the drawing board and go get em
Diamond is not the deep end, it's Master and beyond. You can win purely on fundamentals and fuck all for combos in Diamond.
Like I said, I picked Rashid on a whim. My fundies can't be good if I'm not familiar with all of his buttons yet. Just gotta learn.
Which way guilty man?
Probably the middle because +R feels even more oppressive to play
Only in a few matchups. I'd say Xrd feels more oppressive than +R on average, even though +R has worse extremes.
Left because I don't have a character I like in Xrd and while I do in Strive I don't like the game itself.
If the most annoying characters was all I was going off of, it would probably be Xrd>Strive>>>>>>>>>+R. I like +R but it has some of the most insufferable fucking characters ever, that image doesn't even have Baiken or Dizzy, +R Baiken is the most unfun fighting game character to go against I've ever seen in anything. Strive's roster mostly isn't annoying in my opinion but it does have Happy Chaos. I don't find Xrd's strong characters that annoying either, they're kind of annoying just in that they're good, but they don't have some annoying gimmick like +R's most annoying characters or HC. They mostly just have good buttons, good damage, good oki, good conversions, neutral skips and that's all somewhat annoying, but I find it pretty tolerable compared to what you could have.
>but they don't have some annoying gimmick like +R's most annoying characters or HC. They mostly just have good buttons, good damage, good oki, good conversions, neutral skips and that's all somewhat annoying
Almost all the top tiers have some form of unblockable loop.
It's really just Johnny and Elphelt, but I don't find that that bad. Obviously it's more frustrating to deal with than if they didn't have unblockables, but in both character's cases I wouldn't even say it's the most annoying thing about them, Zweihander YRC and Elphelt's c.S are more annoying things about the two of them than them having unblockable setups in my book, and just having access to an unblockable is pretty inoffensive to some of the stuff you see in +R.
>What are you playing?
Granblue.
>What are you looking foward to?
Granblue.
>Granblue.
Who do you main? Charlotta?
Yeah, I'll main her in Rising too since the other characters I may want to pick up are all never ever tier.
I only know the fighting game so I don't even know who they are.
I main Cagliostro. I think Capcom copied a lot of her kit when they made JP.
I only started the Gacha because of Versus, but I've been playing (or "playing") it daily since, I chose Charlotta as my main as soon as I saw her asperging a top of her box in one of the earlier trailers.
I knew I wanted to play Cagliostro when I first heard her laugh. https://vocaroo.com/1nvWgPa4ojIz
I hope you'll get a chance to get Ex colors again in Rising. Cagliostro's makes her look like a maid, picture related. I tried to mod it in but I must be doing something wrong and it always looks off.
Locking colors behind season pass stuff is such bullshit
I wouldn't even mind if it was still available but Japs love exclusive shit...
Rising better just include these by default or unlockable permanently via singleplayer modes
It would be even better if they had customization like Melty but alas this is Arcsys. They always do quantity over quality.
I don't remember how they were unlocked, Blitz/Raid reward? Personally I already have my color for Charlotta so good luck getting yours.
Apparently a time-limited battle pass. But that was before I started playing.
They already said that you can transfer Ex colors to Rising so I'm a bit worried that there won't be another chance of getting them.
100 hrs In SF6, I like the game and shit, but enjoy watching streams about it more than playing it myself, sadly. Just don't have the patience to learn frame data and every matchup and losing most of the time isn't fun for me at all since most casuals left long ago and only tryhard nerds stayed so I'm forever gold stuck. Shit ain't fun.
playing sf6, and waiting for them to fix Manon or add in another interesting grappler like Laura, since based on what I've seen of Laura's gameplay, she's like one of the few grapplers were her throws don't feel like "oh wait I just did command grab for 20% of your health because you guessed wrong and didn't expect it!" and instead her gameplay tends to look like "I just combo'd you into a grab chain by smartly placing my projectile, or whiff punishing you" Laura's throws feel like they flow seamlessly from her other attacks alot more than most grapplers I've seen. Not to mention that her throws don't actually do THAT much more damage than like a typical character's special move so it feels more fair
I'm also interested and possibly looking forward to Makoto, honestly based on what I've seen, looks less like a grappler and more like a bruteforce bulldozer If that makes sense.
I've been thinking a lot recently about Manon, and what to think about her in the context of SF6 and compared to every grappler. I still think she's probably the most genuinely unique newcomer other than like JP maybe. But she feels a bit incomplete, and like they don't quite know how to synthesize her ballet and judo fighting style. Not to mention that medals are the biggest fucking crutch and placebo mechanic to justify her being weak, while pretending "omg she can actually get so flicking OP eventually!!!" like all the retarded casuals think, despite someone like Idom barely every getting in grabs against pros.
I could probably write essays on my thoughts regarding all this, but I don't think anyone is interested, so I'll find something else to do and say
I also want to play Manon, but I hate grapplers almost fundamentally. I don't care If they're technically weak, and believe me, I think Manon is genuinely weak, but the idea that a character can fundamentally always have the chance to randomly take 30-60% of my health if I'm just not expecting it enough, caught off guard, or guessed wrong compared to almost every other mechanic that catches you off guard (drive rush is bad for this EXACT same reason btw) is just fundamentally egregious to me. Grapplers have always felt like a stupid archetype to me, like there's just something fundamentally wrong about their gameplay design that doesn't mesh reasonably with the rest of the game.
That's why, even though I like Manon a lot (mostly for her cool ballet moves, elegance and how cool the idea of a judoka and ballerina is) Every time I see a scrub (or even a good player) randomly pull off a big command grab with enough medals. It feels like that single grab makes the rest of her kit and mechanics (which are the things that truly make her unique) feel trivialized and almost "pointless" or "unnecessary" to win. 90% of the power and usefulness is frontloaded on her grabs.
I learned to like Manon watching how cleanly idom uses ALL her moves despite him obviously struggling with her. It felt calculated, precise, and skilled. But even HE admits that sometimes Manon has dumb random moments where the opponent can't do anything against her command grabs. It just feels so antithetical to the rest of her gameplay. Atleast somebody like gief is just supposed to be a big dumb brute that grabs you with zero nuance, Manon feels like she should be more, better than that, above that, she does ballet and is a model for godsake, and Judo is like the most elegant that a throw based martial art can get.
In my ideal world. Manon would get a rework where he medals enhanced her normal throws somehow and made her command throws much weaker in damage or highly conditional.
I keep flip-flopping on whether to get MK1 or not.
I'm shit at fighting games but after SF6 I am interested in MK and Tekken.
The last ones I played were MK3 and Tekken Tag Team Tournament.
Friendly reminder that the SF6 director is a certified capechad and wants to work with Marvel in the future (although he says it's difficult).
That row of Popeye comics implicitly explaining Luke's design is so funny to me.
*vomits even more*
thank you for bringing this to my attention. Really. This guy seems to be the embodiment of everything i hate in media. My polar opposite. So now i know to steer clear from his work without even giving it the slightest chance

>this all happened over the span of a week
>now have randomly lost all interest in playing the game for some reason and haven't picked it up in like 3 days
what the fuck happened? even while I was playing, I was getting tired and frustrated of DI spam, since some players will unironically spam DI after every poke, or in-between punish windows for their dumb combos, but that never stopped me from making sure I got to bronze, but now, after deciding to switch and learn a new character, I don't feel like playing. I've heard a lot of people express randomly getting tired of SF6, but thats typically after getting to atleast Gold. I got fucking tired in a week, what gives? And why do people seem to say this shit about SF6 but when it comes to league of legends, it's about being addicted?
Don't think so much about rank in fighting games. Think about the journey of getting good, not about trying to obtain a specific rank. You'll burn out if you put the wagon infront of the horse. Sounds like you need to take a break if you only played SF6 all week.
other anon is right, don't worry about rank just enjoy pushing buttons that lead to enjoying movement and blocking and eventually you'll want to pursue the arithmetic of the game with frame data after slowing down your gameplay with enough matches. It's a natural process if you are hungry for facing strong opponents.
Honestly I feel like SF is a bad choice for your first fighter. You can’t go through the noob phase of mashing shit and doing cool stuff or even win rounds. Not that losing is bad but I was watching my brother try to learn SF as his first fighting game he had a tough time using what he learned from the guides to actual gameplay. It doesn’t flow naturally to a newcomer.
That's not really my problem. I actually found that everything from the character guides DID flow into gameplay naturally eventually once I got past a couple matches. Yes you WILL lose alot in the beginning, but you're learning as you're losing every single match so it doesn't feel match and you get the "in the next match I'll do THIS better instead!" I actually feel like the tutorials and character guides for this game have been amazing and sometimes it feels like cheating to me, since I didn't have to learn the hard way all the veteran players did lol.
The only thing I'd say is hard to make naturally flow in gameplay is combos. There's already so much mental stack in the game with the whole drive system, that having to worry about that, while also remembering your inputs and their timings (I don't care if people think SF6 combos are easy lmao, for a newbie, remembering and executing them without messing up in a match and understanding every seperate timing is tuff, I hate hate hate so much when retards thoughtlessly just say "it's easy bro! you literally can't mess up!" without any thought or context)
Fundamentals flow nicely, once you remember the pokes the character guides tell you to spam alot, and you watch a bit of gameplay from better players.
So yeah, I don't think my problem with the game is necessarily that it's hard, nor am I worrying about rank. Honestly, my problem might just be that ranked doesn't feel redundant? But I don't want to play casual matches either. I don't know man. I know that if I play the game, I'll run into the same Ken, Juri, Cammy, Deejay, Marisa every time. And while that might sounds like a wide spread, it's really not, it also doesn't help that running into a character you don't play against a lot feels like shit, since you have to understand the match up in such short time.
>But I don't want to play casual matches either.
So play Battle Hub then. You can even chat with your opponents post-set there.
Also stick to basic 2-3 move combos if you're not feeling confident in the longer stuff. Especially for early ranks like Bronze where people are spamming DI and dragon punch (easy punishes with reverse DIs and blocking and punishing their landings respectively).
I’m really not reading all that but I’m happy for you. Learning and developing your skills in fighters is one of the most rewarding feelings you can get in video games.
That is true of all fighting games and not exclusive to SF. It takes time for your muscle memory to apply what you learned in tutorials. I recommend that he try doing advanced arcade mode clears after he learns a new tool to use in his arsenal before heading to online play.
>You can’t go through the noob phase of mashing shit and doing cool stuff
yes because there is no cool stuff in sf. Even the most technically impressive things look boring. The series is at it's core slow, methodical and with low power characters aka FUCKING BORING
Came back to sf6 after dropping it a few weeks in due to matchmaking being utter shit in my region. Happily got D5 and I’m probably getting Master I’m the next days. Should I grind for MR or try to rank up other characters?
>The color I want most for Metera probably won't be available in Rising
JUST
>playin

>waitin
Tekken 8
I worry that T8 is going to be a massive pile of shit since everything surrounding the heat mechanic seems both unnecessary and retarded no matter how its curated.
Seriously, what the fuck is the point of this? Are we pretending Tekken isn't the most accessible FG at low level? Is the solution to hyper defensive play at the high level really just making the game more retarded? Did 7 not fucking sell well enough with over 6 million copies sold?
>want to play SF6
>game doesn't have someone I like maining
>have 5 characters in platinum from testing them out
I can't take it anymore when the fuck are they going to include Sakura?
Wait Super Xtreme SF6 Arcade
Sakura is reserved for slump periods.
>Use to love Arc System Works games
>BBTAG and the crappy mobile game killed BlazBlue, and Mori left
>GG became turned into a baby fighter, and Ishiwatari completely ruined Testament and Bridget
This sucks.
The vast majority of ArcSys games are (or at least started as) baby games. Strive's issue isn't that it's easy, it's that the legacy characters are stripped down and the wall is retarded.
>BBTAG and the crappy mobile game killed BlazBlue
No, Mori killed Blazblue by making those garbage games. He could've just stuck to working on DBFZ for awhile, but no, he HAD to have a BB gacha. The worst part is that the game was bad, even by gacha standards
strive is better than the old games in every way especially for removing the retarded esoteric bullshit. We had this argument a millionth times already dumb xturder
DBFZ is easy and braindead as fuck too on par with shit like soive so i dont know why you posted db gif with that post lol
I want to get into fighting games what should start with? also Is it possible to get to a relatively high rank despite my age being 25?
You're still young my man and fighting games aren't all about reflexes. I'd say the best way to start is either with SF6 which has a decent enough tutorial or wait for Granblue, a game that is very beginner friendly. You could always pick a random game from Fightcade (they're free), but you'd have to learn alone while playing against D ranked players which is doable.
Yea sf is one i've always wanted to try but growing up the only fighting game I tried was smash bros
wow that's surprising I come from sc2 and 25+ is ancient
I'm assuming fighting game mechanics translate pretty well?
>I'm assuming fighting game mechanics translate pretty well?
It's easier to transition from 2D games to other 2D games but the "fundamentals" to fighting games are pretty universal
The best fighting game players in the world are mostly age 35+ old dudes
The one you think looks the coolest between: Street Fighter 6, Mortal Kombat 1 and Guilty Gear Strive. They're the most active communities and the hottest games right now.
After that you can change game depending on what on like or not, and on what new games release (Tekken 8, Project L, etc)
Having fun with SF6 (ryu main btw) but I also like KOFXV and DBFZ. Tekken8 and MK1 look like complete trash. Hopefully AKI will be fun. When is Project L playable?
worst part of any thread is wanting to talk about something that nobody else really cares or thinks about
>wanting to talk about something that nobody else really cares or thinks about
fighting games?
what are you saying exactly? this response is too simple and contextless for me to get anything from it
Just post it anon.
I already have, nobody cares that's it. I'm not saying this because I'm scared to post something. It's because I already have, and everybody wants to talk about, costumes, SFxT DLC, generic anime fighter #57 or SF6 not having their main (which I think is an interesting topic, but nobody has actually said anything about it) I'm just venting, it doesn't really matter what I say anymore, even if somebody would engage with what I want to talk about now, it would feel inorganic and/or unsatisfying at this point, because nobody would likely be able to match the effort I put in the most and engage with all the aspects in full that I want.
It's a lose lose situation. The problem isn't inherently that nobody wants to talk about what I want to talk about. It's also the likely fact, that nobody tried to talk about what I want to talk about because they literally can't. The thoughts I expressed are either things they've never thought about or feel too specific and not broadly appealing enough to talk about. Don't get me wrong, it's less science, and more philosophy. Science can be discussed by anyone, since you can just refer to general agreed upon/established knowledge and theories. The truth is there, you just need to find it. Philosophy is more figuring out and understanding things, that don't tell you anything about how they should be. If you don't like the sound of "philosophy" then theoretical physics is the closest I can get to what I mean.
Basically I'm not talking about anything like "OMG THIS CHARACTER IS SO BROKEN BECAUSE OF X FRAME DATA, AND Y MOVE!" or, if we want to complicate things even more it's also less entertainment(tv, sports, modeling, talk shows)/pop culture there's no "OMG X anime character is so hot and cute and that's why I play her!"
I'm not tooting my own horn. If you're following my analogy. Science is more technical, smarter, and objective than Philosophy, and Entertainment is more appealing and fun than Philo too. I'm on my own
I don't know which post is yours but you likely got no replies because the way you type is pretentious and long winded.
uh huh. doesn't really change my point that actual indepth discussion simply isn't valued compared to what's more straightforward, obvious or broadly appealing. there's really no point in trying to appeal to anyone tho when people like you will make presumptuous judgments that justify dismissal on an arbitrary basis. don't bother replying to this. you wouldn't and don't want to get it anyway beyond your surface level subjective perspective.
Ganker is a place for shit/meme posting...Reddit, traditional forums and maybe some discord channels are more fit for serious discussions
>posting...Reddit, traditional forums and maybe some discord channels are more fit for serious discussions
*hugo weaving and a random elf.jpg*
You should go to reddit.
sorry you feel that way anon. r/fighters and r/truegaming are great places for more in depth discussion
you guys are delusional. the entire reason I'm on this site is because I get banned too easily from reddit, I just took a gamble on this place because somebody recommended it, and it was active as fuck during TOTK leaks.
obviously I've learned Ganker is just the other side of the reddit coin. every single social media platform has shitposting, reddit shitposting instead just normalized dad joke tier. there's no place for me. I have to find my own way fighting against this meaningless void of typical people's collective consciousness and lack of self awareness to be self determined thoughtful individuals.
you can't be mad at me for being "pretentious" or long winded, when it feels like I have no place to go, and have to explain myself far more because people naturally don't understand me, and because I want things to be meaningful enough to not be easily dismissed, and covering all the bases is one way to do that, if not for anyone else, then for me.
there's your issue. Ganker is great for active discussion on new and fresh games - especially if the game is leaked (like TOTK) since everyone will be here to discuss it. after the game releases, people scatter back to their normal haunts and you're left with the "regular anons" on Ganker, for better and worse. it's not that Ganker is necessarily bad for discussion, but you're fighting against the current that rewards short, combative posts instead of discussion due to the speed of the board. as an aside, attach webms or images in your posts if you want to draw more attention. OC webms that show the information/techniques/etc you're trying to discuss are going to be the best in this scenario.
all things considered, discussion for SF6 specifically will rev back up when AKI releases. but right now fightan fags are split between SF6, any of the previous fightan games, and obviously the upcoming MK1 release. not to mention any of the other big games that came out recently (Starfield, AC6, BG3, and whatever else) for the people that jump on new releases.
I agree with you but disagree with you. The problem isn't activity. Starfield threads have been Hella active and there hasn't been a single honest discussion. I stopped opening TOTK threads even when they were still getting 400 replies because shit was getting redundant, and it felt like neither side were trying to understand eachother and engage honestly, and it was just throwing shit at eachother trying to say the most shallow instigating shit.
You bring up an interesting idea of posting with a webm or pic, that's probably a good idea. I can't do OC webms because I'm not an artist + putting that much effort into OC webms when I already know this place to be retarded and borderline highschool tier in their inability to engage with indelth discussion. I'd just feel even more discouraged if I got a one note response, or no response.
I just think I've got to find another place unfortunately, I've talked to some decent people on here about this before, and they recommend just finding friends to talk about videogames with (easier said than done) there was also one dude that implied there was a better place to have discussion but that he couldn't tell me because Ganker would ruin it, so there's that *sigh* I wish I was smart enough to just sort through my thoughts and ideas on my own without needing to seek out the perspective of others.
Why are you metaposting in a fighting games thread of all places? Link me to where you actually tried to discuss fighting games.
You should seek the /vg/ thread of the game you want to discuss
Where's your post anon? I want to see what you want to talk about. Better yet, let's play some games if you're afraid to link back your post. Host a lobby for the games you play. Playing together is a good way to socialize too.
these two are my posts:
In retrospect, I really shouldn't have even tried, the thing I wanted to talk about would NEVER get the satisfying response and engagement that I want. And it was just too indepth, long and specific for mass appeal. I'm not delusional, it's not as if I don't realize I can come off as "pretentious" or "longwinded" It's just how I am. I have a reason for being the way I am just as everyone else does. It feels kinda stupid and shitty to be told that actually the way I am is wrong when it's ultimately arbitrary and I literally think the exact same about the type of people that call me "pretentious" and "longwinded" because it demonstrates a shallow and reductive understanding of me.
In my ideal world, I would never express a single thought to anybody ever, since I'd figure everything out that I want to understand on my own. My posts, thoughts, ideas, aren't appealing, and thats that. I can't and won't do anything about that, since if I were to change the way I typed, then it would be equivalent to changing the question I want to ask, and what's the point of getting an answer, if it's not the answer to MY question, if it's just a generic question that anyone can answer.
It's whatever, I'm ranting now. I hate socializing, and I hate most of this place. I'll figure something out, or continue to express thoughts that nobody wants to hear. Sometimes I ask myself "Is the idea that somebody is rejecting/ignoring you worse if they simply can't help it, and you're not interesting enough, or is it worse if they have a reason, and what your saying actually just isn't meaningful"
It's sort of a Geralt situation. If I had to choose, I'd rather not choose at all.
I don't think posting mini-essays is a great way for people to digest content here. I get that you want to express yourself fully but
It might work out better in a dedicated SF6 thread but in general fighting game threads such long posts are largely ignored. These threads serve a better purpose in people playing games together rather than trying to have discussions.
yeah, probably right, I'll make a SF6 thread of my own I guess and drop my essays there lmao. It just feels a bit discouraging, it's not like this is the first time this has happened, and even in a dedicated SF6 thread, I got called autistic for a big effort post. I'm just hoping I can find a place off here (or in some bizarre case, on here) where it's more clear the values of discussion and engagement.
I don't like /vg/ threads because instead of shitposting it feels like "casualpostong" or "lazyposting" where it's just people posting fanart or talking casually and it's typically VERY obvious nobody wants an indepth discussion, reminds me more of reddit.
Fighting game generals are a different fucking beast that more or less always boils down to sucking off namefags.
I'm playing BBCF and looking forward to GBVSR. I'd play Strive if I didn't suck at it (took me ~150 hours to get to floor 10 back in Season 1 and I never made it to Celestial even 100 hours later, that game destroys my mental like nothing else).

i think you should rip your own eyes out if you think that's cute or anywhere near a 10/10
I like BBTAG and it's unironically one of my favorite fighting games.
I like the idea of BBTAG and it's exciting to watch, it just has very little player freedom, terrible balance, ridiculously overbearing system mechanics and the outcome of every match is pure RPS.
Remove JP as a playable character and shart slimer 6 would be pretty good.
Any good 2.5D fighting game engines out there or am I just going to have bear with it and learn to make my own?
Yeah there's one called Unreal Engine
*engines that aren't complete ass
New stick player. How long did it take you to be able to consistently hit diagonal inputs? I'm struggling, big time.
Square gate, I hope. Took maybe 1 night of drilling for me.
>Took maybe 1 night of drilling for me.
That's crazy. I'm missing it more than half the time. And yes, it's a square gate.
I played like 3-4 days on T7 treasure battle until I was confident to try online casuals back when I got mine. I did a ton of missinputs at first but you just have to keep playing. There are no shortcuts no easy ways out. You literally just have to build the muscle memory.
Ironically I wasn’t missing diagonal but mostly doing missinputs on b and f since I’m square there is no 1 way it has to click. Really frustrating at first but it was worth it. Fighters have been much more enjoyable with a stick even if that means getting carpal tunnel.
That's interesting that it's diagonals you struggle with. For me it was cardinals because the square gate helped guide me naturally to the corners. Anyway, just keep using stick even in non-fighting games like platformers, beat em ups, shmups, etc. And you'll get it. I used to play stuff like Super Meat Boy with stick and it worked well.
I'm playing KOFXV, and having to do diagonal command normals during combos is killing me since I have to hit right in the corner, and I don't tend to ride the gates. I do use the stick with side scrollers and shooters, but I don't think it's much help, lol.
Just keep at it and you will get the mechanics ingrained. If you want to get autistic, swap your stick for a seimitsu. The switches have metal guide flanges that smooth out diagonals. I like Luong btw
>I like Luong btw
Luong is a fine woman. I want to play a team with Gato, Luong, and Blue Mary after I get comfortable with the game.
The only anime fighter I actually enjoy playing is Granblue and it arguably doesn't count. The rest are fun to watch and miserable to play. Same goes for stuff like Marvel and Skullgirls.
What exactly makes it stand out?
Combos are short, footsies actually matter, most plays are reactable (you don't need to make a hard read and pre-empt it in every situation) and there's a good balance between offense and defense.
because that's not an anime game but sf in disguise. God how can you people like that slow garbage instead of doing cool shit in anime games? So fucking lame. Imagine WANTING to play slow on purpose
Rising will add the anime content with new advanced EX moves, dash attacks and the new dead angle.
good. The more anime and less "traditional" the better. Fucking games for geriatric people
I still watch the trailers for this game
The music and art was so kino
It's odd to think that SF6 will probably in its peak when SF turns 40. Better than it turning 30 during V's shit years and getting a mediocre collection.
Do you guys think Akuma will be better than Ken in Dix? Is such a thing possible without creating an insanely broken character that's SSS tier? Maybe Dix will be the first SF since turd strike where Ken is better than Akuma.
Ken will get the hammer until then. Akuma will be gigabroken though
Depends on how they balance his air fireball. Since ex fireballs here will always win fb wars I can see Akuma being insanely broken against most zoners (can still get pierce'd, if I may'd, do excuse me'd by JP).
He will be better because Ken will be nerfed. Anyway, Akuma will always be more fun IMO
I think they did a pretty good job with Ken in Dix. Dragon lash and his run moves and cancel not being a meme for once makes him pretty interesting. Ryu is the shoto that needs the most work done.
Ken & JP are really interesting characters that have a lot of decision making at a high level but both (honestly Ken moreso) are overtuned. The main thing being that Ken can so easily get the corner from any confirm because he has extremely easy corner carry and side switches without meter via Tatsu & Lash, plus Lash is a strong out-of-pocket neutral option that's a raw reaction check that leaves him pretty good on block compared to a majority of other specials.
SF6 is my first SF game, and I'm having fun with it. I chose ken because I knew he was a easy character to learn the basics and now everyone thinks I'm a tierfag, so I'm probably gonna pick up chun or deejay next. Climbing out of plat seems really hard. The skill difference between plat 1 and 5 is like night and day. It's nowhere near this steep in the lower ranks. I'm lookin forward to MK1 as a comfort game. Mortal Kombat is too goofy to take seriously. I hope they add cyrax at some point.
I only like guilty gear and vampire savior. I really fucking dislike sf. Most slow and boring shit i've ever played. What a fucking slog
Based, I used to like SF but the new style of music and the graphics really don't do it for me so I just ignore the newer ones
Guys I REALLY like tekken.
The characters are cool and have some really fucking cool outfits.
they dress like mid 2000 school bullies and i hate them
Say what you want about the Street Fighter EX series but it had the best Chun-Li theme
?si=sxkz3j_yk4Y3SECq
heh is that lily playing with t hawk
I unironically like Chun's 6 theme most but Spinning Bird is pretty close. Honestly as iconic as it is the classic SF2 Chun theme is just "pretty good".
I hit some nostalgia and went back to Rival Schools, Soul Blade and Star Gladiator.
Feels good.
Anyone remembers DNF DUEL?
Yes. Fun game, feels like a classic 8ing 6th gen licensed fighter, great netcode. Shame Nexon is a contender for the worst publisher in the business and provided it negative marketing. Meanwhile I genuinely hate the gameplay of GBVS but CyGames are putting their money where their mouth is on it.
>What are you playing?
Nothing. I have periods where I'm into fighting games and periods where I'm hopelessly bored of fighting games. Right now I'm in the latter phase.
>What are you looking forward to?
Nothing.
FIghtcade, anyone? I'm up for anything.
I think I'll do more practice for Vsav
I played a bit of GGXrd Rev, Chipp rules.
>What are you playing?
Old Dead or Alive games.
>What are you looking forward to?
Nothing. If something like Virtua Fighter rereleases, like and anniversary collection, or a new VF comes out, unless I quit playing vidya, I will (God willing) get them, but as it stands, there is no announcement for something like that and I don't see sega doing that, that being said, at least it will have died a good series. I can still play VF5FS, unfortunately no VF5R or VF4FT but there's nothing that can be done about that.
I'd also consider getting DoA7 if that ever happens.
