It would be cool if there was a fighting game actual with MLP characters.

TFH animated series when?
>>42548447ungulad... I...

>a bunch of TFH loras were removed from civitaiBut why
>>42544722good post
>>42549334seemed like a baah'd post to me
why does this game have basically no landing lag?there's almost no consequences for whiffing air normals constantly, in fact it's actually advantageous to do so a lot of the time for ambiguous mixups
>>42550161Welcome to anime kusoge, enjoy your stay.
>>42550185English please
>>42550374anime - a type of fighting game with really crazy movement and unbalanced kits, the opposite of something more grounded and deliberate like old street fighterkusoge - basically means whatever game you're describing with this term is a shitpost and cannot be taken seriously as competitive because there's so much unfair exploitable bullshit
>>42550161The best way to handle an airborne opponent is holding forward and pressing the light attack for the universal anti-air. It lowers your hurtbox low to the ground, and raises up a powerful hitbox in turn.The next time an enemy comes at you from the skies, give 'em the horns!
>>42550485i know this is a shitpost but try doing that to tian flipping over the place and get back to me
>>42550582works on my machine
>>42550600
>>42550639that's not really "flipping [all] over the place"
>>42550582okay that's less air normals recovering and more your opponent reaching over and unplugging your controller
>>42551466nice ass
>>42551466WOULD
This is what happens
>>42550639That's not a normal jumpin, dummyThat's just an overhead>>42550419Old street fighter had no landing recovery either and was a lot more kusoge than people remember
>>42552966gay
>>42553499That's what happens when the thread sinks too low
it's kind of weird nobody cares about velvet arizona shipping when it's canonically an adult and a childnot saying i care, they're cartoon animals, but it's weird that not even the fun police care either
>>42554457People do care, I have seen people have meltdown on maincord back in 2021-2022 when the game was alive
>>42554457Arizona is sexually mature enough
>>42554995This
>>42554457How old is Velvet? I don't care about fictional characters ages, but now that you bring it up I'm curious since I never thought about it
>>42555205based on a dev post on the >discord, apparently velvet is older than paprika, pom, and arizona, and is considered more "mentally mature" than oleander as well, and arizone is at the bottom of both metrics
>>42555355isnt Shanty at the bottom?
>>42555655Shanty is a bottom alright ;)
>>42555927false
>>42556280We will have to disagree then
>>42556712damn she turned gay
>>42557227Her pussy taste like skittles now that's all
yaaar!
Okay so during the tournament we had, I had picked the modded stages (the only ones that are up in gamebanana) like the Ruins and the Salt Mine but on the stream it was the cellar.I thought they would be able to see the stage too? I mean during the same stream we did see a Salt Mine stage so why didn't it work in my case?
>>42555927>>42556280Power bottom?
>>42558762Powerful bottom.
>>42558611Adorable
what fighting game archetype is arizona anyway?she has good mixups when up close and high mobility, which suggests she's rushdown, but also her entire gameplan revolves around the whole stomp/rope thing, which i don't even know how to describeit's like a sort of inverse grappler, where she has unreactable strike/throw mix at a distance but not up close. does anyone from other games play like this?
>>42559135xrd raven idk what type he is either
>>42559135>>42559146also axl has winter mantis but it's waaay more reactable than ari ropes
my boy
>>42559135I think of her as "aggressive space control". She wants to use stomps/lasso/6A to force mistakes at a certain range, and once that happens, she becomes a mixup blender until neutral happens again. She's essentially just a mixup rushdown with a very strong midrange neutral game. I feel like the lassos only exist because without them, her neutral would suffer against upbackers and dashblockers. Their existence forces more committal decisions, and so mistakes can happen.

>waiting until the last possible moment to make an announcementmane6 is truly back
>>42584033There's supposed to be an announcement?
Lets be fair, they only got 1 million dollarinos in funding but thats for BOTH of their games they purchased (with those 1 million dollars probably, so they now have even less cash) They won't do much>>42584046supposedly they're making an announcement this month but there's only 11 days left
>>42584033I think it might get pushed back to October. A Diesel Legacy dev recently said there would be an announcement for that game in October; maybe internal snags have delayed GGI's official launch and that in turn delays the TFH announcement.Today the trailer for the game got removed from Steam, but then got added back, so they're tweaking something on the store page for later.
>>42584174>delayedmane6 is truly back
>>42584313lol
My uncle works at Gameplay Group International and told me they're going to announce a new DLC character on the 21stIt's Shanty's dad, he's a big body with fast burst mobility, strong mix, absurdly good buttons and he can ToD Texas from a jab. Solid mid-tier

I haven't even played TFH in like a year, I just check on this thread
>>42592397It's been 6 months for me. Multiplayer was probably the thing I cared least about in regards to TFH
All I'm getting from this is that we need more QTs and shitshowswhich means we need organizers.
>>42593475You can be that guy
what is supposed to be the downside of pushblocking? if i'm fighting a character that needs to be up close to mix why shouldn't i just push them away every time? at worst i'm minus at a more preferable range, at best i make them whiff, it's a win/win.
>>42593850It usually costs meter in other games that have it, but fuck if I know why mane6 didn't. If you can believe it, it also used to not even have the effect where the distance diminishes after every use.
>>42593850is there supposed to be a downside? is just a defense mechanic
>>42593850The pushback is variable depending on button strength but your extra blockstun is fixed no matter what, so the opponent can press a light (or medium if your pushblock isn't immediate), get big frame advantage, dash in and then do what's best for their characterPushblock can also be baited, especially since most players autopilot into only using a throw macro with pushblock because of the option select, and then you can be punished for that.But it's overall extremely strong, you're right. Pushblock shapes the way the game is played to a massive degree and it's why most mixups happen on the first hit instead of being stringed into
beh
I'm in my early autism phase again where I try to learn this game (blame NL). Thinking I might try the lizzer this time since despite being my wife the paca is too complicated for me and also my controller makes me misinput bellyflop a lot. How do I learn to not suck at combos? Or is my brain just permanently fucked? I think it might be.
>>42594801>early*yearly
>>42594801>Or is my brain just permanently fucked?This is what I came to terms with and gave up.
>>42594801You don't need a "good" combo, just one with a goal in mind that you can perform. TFH has one of the most loose and freeform combo systems in a modern fighter thanks to the freedom given by the juggle decay system—you can repeat the same two moves an indefinite number of times as long as they flow into each other and the JD bar isn't full, though that likely won't do a lot of damage—and learning to combo in TFH is more about learning the bits and pieces and choosing when to do each piece.Think of combos as having two halves, pre-JD and post-JD. As long as you have a couple building blocks (e.g. for Pap, doing a blockstring into Cart A, canceling that into 6CCC for a launcher, and jump canceling that for an air juggle) you can do whatever you want pre-JD except for unique states like stagger (which Pap gets from 6A for example) which are once per combo. You can also get a hard knockdown for more stable mixups if you do so before the JD fills, such as ending a combo with belly flop as Pap. If you know what you want (HKD, damage, corner carry etc.) then you just pick building blocks that let you move toward that. Don't worry about optimiizing damage until you have your building blocks, as having a stable combo of any kind is better than not knowing what you want to do and dropping it.
>>42595663As a bald man once roughly said last week, "You're telling me about the mindset I should have while driving; I need to know how to shift gears." I can't consistently land the basic l m h launcher jl jm jh, none of your advice is useful to me. I struggle with the basic process of chaining moves together properly.
>>42595739it's just hitting buttons in order, if you could type that sentence without hunting and pecking you're capable of doing a comboRun through the story or arcade mode a few times just focusing on hitting ABC>launcher>j.ABC>special over and over
>>42594801>>42595739coincidentally i guess i'm not the only person on here who got quite a kick out of watching eggman learn a fighting game
>>42596015He deliberately burst baited today, he might be cracked.>>42595903If the 30+ hours I have in the game didn't teach me that I doubt one more try will, but I'll consider it. I think it's just the same autistic portion of my head that intrinsically handles movement though, same reason I never learned to backwards or sideways dash in Uk (completely different genre but it's the same problem). But it's not as much of a handicap there I suppose.
>>42592953From the new publisher: "Every project we touch is designed to elevate play, and our initial slate of fighting games is especially close to my heart. I'm excited to share more soon."
>>42596163odds they finish story mode are still low, but maybe not zero
>>42595903Do you have any friends who play fighting games? They'd be excited to play with you and teach you the basics. I don't know how I would have ever learned without having someone in person telling me how to do it.
>>42596197Meant to reply to>>42595739
>>42596163Can't wait for TFH to become a sweaty tryhard shilltuber e-sport!
>>42596409this but unironically
>>42596163hmmm
>>42588973i wanna say strawberry
>>42596197>Do you have any friends who play fighting games?I'm the friend who plays fighting games in my group.
>>42596163Wait, they got a new new publisher? I've been away for a while.
>>42597520It was announced in August that someone bought the rights to TFH, we haven't gotten the official announcement yet, but the Steam page has changed to say the publisher is "Gameplay Group International," a new company with between 10 and 50 employees and one million dollars in funding. An article promoting them got posted early by mistake and says their goal is to give games the second chance they deserve, and they have two projects which are fighting games so far (we know from Steam that the other project is Diesel Legacy, the game Mike Z worked on after Skullgirls was stolen from him).
>>42597542they don't have 1 million right now, they had to have spent some of it to buy the rights of those two games and they probably weren't cheapthen gotta split the remaining fund left 50/50 for both games. in the end, probably not much left, like 250k
>>42597542Hopefully they hire someone good (so not the original team). Shame the art side of TFH is so stupidly tied to the incompetent side.>after Skullgirls was stolen from himEntirely his fault.
>>42597542>>42597589Oh, great, another great aspirations no plans studio that will crash and burn. Watch them hire back the incompetent hacks who mismanaged TFH the first time so they can ruin it again by sitting around jerking off and doing no proper development a second time. Story mode never ever.
>>42597589>>42597542>plan to save games>have small budget>decide like retards to split it across two projects>one of them is radioactive anywayAre they stupid? Also>want to save games>actually just focused on unsuccessful indie fightersLmao
I'm gonna try GGXXAC+R and see if that teaches me better how to play.

2XKO will save fighting games.
>>42598720Close Combat is a fangame, so it's untainted by Game Freak's touch
>>42599338Too bad training mode and general resources suck ass. It's incredible how TFH doing the bare minimum makes it so much better than so many games on that front.
>>42598799Lol the pokefag got triggered super hard damn
>>42599741It is funny how much CC proves Mane6 are hacks. It's pumping out characters so damn fast for free.
>>42599778It's sad how hard you're simping for a literal who project
>>42599808It's sad how CC has so many more regular players than TFH ever regularly had.
>>42598716i tried PCC but couldn't get into how barebones it is, it's too simple for its own good
>>42599912You can just say "I'm autistic"
>>42599928everyone in this thread is autistic
>>42599967I'm not. That's why I'm bad at the game. On the plus side it means I'm allowed to have kids.
>>42599889See >>42599808
i like CC and TFH we don't have to fight :(
>>42600283Why would a TFH player like cross canter, it's so weak as to not be worth using after 3.1

Can a nerd explain to me why it's sort of easier for me to learn combos in Idol Showdown compared to TFH? I can sort of hit Ayame's bnb a lot more consistently than something like the basic TFH combos, and the learning process feels smoother too. And that is while using the actual inputs and not the shortcuts.
>>42601777I am not good with colors

it's weird to me that tianhuo has a reputation for being easy to learnsome parts of her combos have really unforgiving timing and drop constantly without careful height management, and she has some really weird unintuitive conversions from stray hitssure you can just superjump airdash jC to beat 75 IQ players but that doesn't work forever
>>42603056her more advanced combos are actually a little tricky but combos tend to be one of the easier parts of the game past the beginner level, and her just being impossible to block for more than a couple seconds and extremely good at the>run away until they whiff something or you get bored>throw yourself at them and start doing shit and hope they can't dealstyle of neutral that doesn't require a lot of thinking means she's a pretty high reward for low effort character at anything outside the top level. People coming from other anime games can just learn the basics of her routing and then just play mindless rushdown and it works.Also a lot of the character reputations are from the first few years of the game when she had an extremely good 7D and pretty much every Tian had the same gameplan relying on it to avoid any interaction that wasn't them making you guess 4D high/lows
>>42602896POMFY ON MY FACE AHHHH
>>42603056Are you starting with her or trying to learn her as a secondary?IMO Tian, Shanty, and Nidra are all really weird to learn after playing any of the other characters if you didn't start with them. The rhythm of doing one-button special cancels (for stuff like flight cancelling or stancels) feels completely different from doing motion buffering.
people bitch about velvet's magic eruption but how do the snowballs fly under the radarshe basically has an "i'm plus now" button that has less whiff recovery than light normals and hits from basically anywhere on the screen on standby at all times except for roundstart
>>42604269before the last update that made her chip damage ridiculous she had very little in the way of actual threatening ways to use plus frames, her offense was extremely linear and while her optimal combos could do a ton of damage there was very little reason to ever let her open you up so you could just hold her pressure while she blew her resources until you pushblocked her out and did something anti-fireball or teched a throw or something that ended her turnNow that blocking a long pressure sequence does a short bnbs worth of damage anyway you're way more incentivized to take risks and her plus frames are actually really scary, but no one really talks about the later versions of the game much beyond calling the Dads broken
>>42604319of the people that still play the game regularly, they seem pretty aware of the velvet problem, even some of the velvet mains think it's too much it's kind of amusing how she went from constantly considered one of the worst characters to one of the best just from a couple changes that flew under the radar during all of the DLC hullabaloo
>>42604393>of the people that still play the game regularlyAll 30 of them.
>>42604550No one asked
>>42604393How many people still play the game regularly?
>>42604560I did.>>42604570I don't.
wtf bros.... they made TFH woke

I'm sorry to report combos really do feel easier on 2XKO. Riot was right, most people are retarded like me and FGCcels were wrong.
>>42605838aren't all the inputs in that game one button like smash? not surprising
>>42605838I meant to answer you earlier and forgot; TFH has no input buffer for links (that is to say, if your move ends and you want to press another one without cancels you have to press the button after the first move fully ends, and pressing slightly early makes nothing come out), and it's one of the only games released in the past 8 years not to have one. Even Street Fighter V from 2015 launched with a buffer for links. If the combo you're attempting is link-focused then you'll have a harder time than with any other modern fighter.It sounds crazy but Mane6 didn't even want to add a reversal buffer window for normals (e.g. you block a move and press jab and it comes out as soon as your blockstun ends). They did add one in the 2.0 update but they were very cagey about it.I would focus your combos around cancels and "links" that don't have any kind of tight execution window. That's actually a big part of why I play Pom, she has a complex gameplan but the execution of her BnBs is arguably the easiest of the whole cast.
