Why are Guilty Gear fans so delusional nowadays? Did Strive do this much irreversible damage?
>>688232860They're insane if they think they're somehow more relevant than mortal kombat
>>688232860>xx has shitty input buffer and tight execution>xrd is too generic and has goofy danger time>strive is barely guilty gear anymoreIs there any good Guilty Gear game? I'm only really playing BlazBlue now.
>>688232968FGC has an insane hateboner against MK. Even if you dislike what it is now, denying its influence and continued success is just delusion.
>>688232860I never played a GG game but I always thought they looked cool. After what happened with Bridget I lost all respect for the franchise and fanbase. I’m disappointed that Team Asobi gave it a cameo.
>>688232968you misspelled combat
>>688232860>How do we represent Guilty Gear in this game where a little robot fella dresses up as characters from a variety of IPs?>Well, there's actually a character named Robo-Ky and...>I KNOW! Slap some Sol Badguy shit on him and call it a day. But make sure you use OG Sol so fans don't realize we're being TOO obvious about all our product placement
>>688232860It feels a little disingenuine to have Ryu here, the first Street Fighter game on Playstation was Alpha, the ports came later, and consolewise the SNES version was the "iconic" one

At least Astro Bot knows that third parties is what got PlayStation popular.
Smashtrannies should be hung
>>688233645Kazuya Mishima
>>688232968lol even normalfags hate mortal kombat nowadays
>>688233412You would have to be retarded to put the 10th most recognizable character into a franchise-celebration mash-up instead of the 1st most recognizable.
fighting games are largely irrelevant. FGC is in a bubble. most people do not care about fighting games, it's a niche genre. be thankful you got anything.
>>688232968shut the fuck up, niggerno one plays your fag game
>>688233412Thats like saying why didnt they use Q from streetfighter and like JACK from Tekken. Because they arent the most fucking famous character retard
>>688233920You would have to be retarded to want a game that celebrates gaming IPs and only want [Poster Boy] of each one because you don't trust your idiot zoomer fanbase to understand the references to any of the shit being included.
>>688232860my boywife sol <3
>>688232968Or maybe people took notice to how few entrants MK brings to tournaments and will be outside the top three games thus not getting considered one of the popular
>>688233920>>688234010Found the retards who can't clap at thing unless it's MAIN THING. Have you tried Fortnite?
>>688232860SmashDota2Windjammers.
>>688233975TRUTH BOMB
>>688233975this
>>688234136How did you come to that conclusion you absolute fucking tard.WAAAAAAAAAA WHY DOESNT GAME MEANT FOR GENERAL AUDIENCE HAVE MY OBSCURE REFERENCELiterally and figuratively kill yourself
>>688232973XX and Xrd are good
>>688232968Mortal Kombat sells a ton but it has lo player retention because no one actually likes to play it. I only heard bad things from the lastest entry
>>688232968The only thing Mortal Kombat has ever had going for it is the fatalities, and you can just watch those on Youtube.
>>688232860Yo, I know those left two. That's Ryu and Kazuya from Smash! Now that's a great game. Don't know the third, is that a Sora outfit or something? Where's the key sword?
>>688233975BHAHAHAHA
>>688232973+R is really good. Never had problem with the input buffer. I just mash whatever I want and it works
>>688232968MK1 was a pretty big step backwards for the seriesI'm sure it sold OK but for the budget and the expectations of a new MK game were definitely not metwhile Strive is still getting thousands of players daily over 3 years after launch and is a huge success for a smaller series
>>688233975LMAO
We don't have to pretend MK is respectable.
>>688233975>>688234129By your logic KOF isn't close to being a pillar of fighting games either, but obviously everyone would refute that bullshit instantly.
there's no "big 3" in fighting games, it's just "street fighter and others">smashnot a fighting game>tekkenonly reason it has a large playerbase is because all the other 3D fighters are dead>mortal kombatirrelevant in the FGC>kofmaybe 25 years ago>guilty gearwas never popular before strive, and strive isn't that popular eithermeanwhile SF created and popularised the genre, led to the birth of the FGC, and revived fighting games from the dark ages
>>688232968Mortal Kombat's even more dogshit than Strive, with 10x the jank.
>>688232968impeccable bait
>>688234442>but it has lo player retention because no one actually likes to play itthats the story of literally every fighting game besides SF and Tekken and even they have kinda low numbers on steamcharts right now.
the big three of fighting games.
>>688233564at least they used the alpha design
>>688232860Street Fighter is the Big One of fighting games, and that's solely because of SF2. GG isn't even top five
>>688232860who is that on the right
I don't know why this causes so much seething they're all fun games and GG has been doing extremely well
>>688232860League of Legends is a much better fighting game than any of this trash. I could literally beat the average player with the fatfuck American dude pressing one button and then he messages me crying about not playing his way
>>688232860Surprised there's not a Terry one, that guy seems to be showing up everywhere these days
>>688240352Project L is not even out yet, what are you smoking?
>>688240352>least retarded leaguebabby
>>688233975Oh so that's why they chose those three. Sony bought EVO back in like 2021 in order to enforce Playstation as the console of choice and ban non-Playstation console-exclusive games like KI and Smash (which is a good thing but still). Guess they didn't actually give a shit about what fighting game franchises are part of Playstation's legacy and just went with the top three games played at the last EVO.
>>688241110>what fighting game franchises are part of Playstation's legacyGuilty Gear and Tekken are right there
>>688234129Why would tournament entrants be a better indication of popularitythan actual sales.
>>688240696he's an easy cut n paste for pajeet devs and is a white American archetype so everyone loves him by default
>>688232860SF AlphaTekken 6Guilty Gear XMy knees.....
>>688241110Killer Instinct was great and deserved better, fuck you and fuck Sony.
>>688237226Not a fan of TAKEN but it actually is a really big deal for fightan.Sells a shitton.
>>688233828Dorya
Who's the guy in the middle?
>>688232860The kings are SF, MK and Smash
>>688241110I completely forgot Sony owns Evo now so seeing those three in there makes perfect sense now
>>688241110>what fighting game franchises are part of Playstation's legacyLiterally SF Alpha, Tekken and Guilty Gear
>>688241495The only one out of the three there that has any real, actual association with the brand is Tekken because Sony provided Namco with the tech that went into the first few entries for free* and led to Tekken staying completely exclusive to Playstation consoles for so long. It has actual history with Playstation and the VF killer would never have existed if not for PS.Street Fighter? None of the Street Fighter games (hell the majority of all Capcom fighters) have never had their best versions on PS, even during that period of time when SFV was PS exclusive*.Guilty Gear? Arcsys doesn't do brand loyalty because they release their shit everywhere. Very few Guilty Gear games were PS exclusive, the only truly exclusive game was the first GG and only because back then they didn't have the infrastructure to do an arcade release when the games they made up until then were Master System ports and the Sailor Moon fighters on SNES.I guess it just goes to show when Sony is still scared of its past when there are zero references to Ergheiz, Bloody Roar, Bushido Blade, Battle Arena Toshinden, etc. in their new scotformer themed around exploring Playstation's legacy and history of associated franchises. There's no Spyro either, they only paid enough for Crash
>Twitter reaction thread
>>688232968That's true, but Mortal Kombat is a fighting game for people who don't care about fighting games
>>688243675>Literally SF Alphathe worst version of every CPS2 game appears exclusively on PS1/PS2 that is a great point to make
>>688233818Slur spammers should lose their teeth
>>688243719>Very few Guilty Gear games were PS exclusiveThe first one was.>There's no Spyro either, they only paid enough for CrashYes Spyro is in the game, retard. They didn't pay for any of the cameos, they just asked for permission. That's why they don't show the names of the characters.
>>688238907Ahh Ryu and his wives, only best post in the thread, the male fantasy
>>688240696I’m shocked there’s no Terry Bot too
>>688236801It isn't. This isn't the 200Xs anymore.
>>688232860buts thats true, the only 3 non-discord fighting games.
>>688243675BLOODY ROAR
>>688244121I’m glad Kyo got kicked off by Terry. Lame ass character where his literal clones are cooler. He gets naturally mogged by Iori anyway
>>688233085it's a westoid/NA only normie game. It literally has 0 influence on the actual FGC for a reason. It's practically a party game like Smash. It's just perfect that /v/ praises it constantly, the board known to get filtered by fightans
SPIDER-MAN carries the FGC
>>688236801KOF is only "big" in asia. South america favela tournaments don't count. KOF still didn't recover from whatever happened 15 years ago either. KOF15 had a shitty launch with scuffed matmachking which was never properly solved on PC (Supposedly. most people bailed)
>>688244878>It's just perfect that /v/ praises it constantly,Anon, where have you been the past 15 years? MK gets shit on hard here.
>>688233564>and consolewise the SNES version was the "iconic" onethere have been more street fighter games on sony consoles than nintendo
>>688246163Okay, and there has been no point where SF was more popular then around. 92 to the first half of 93 was the peak of SFmania, the snes version of HF was the biggest game on the system when it released and went on to sell over 6 million units, insane for any game at that period.
>>688232860Kof and Virtua Fighter have more claim than GG. Its not just sales for MK, its Iconography. You say "get over here" people know you're making a mortal combat reference. "Bandit Bringer" doesn't hit like that. Terry is more recognizable than Sol or Ky.
I don't care about Mortal Kombat, but I'll defend it anyway because Arcsys and most especially Capfags are annoying subhumans.
>>688238907>Cammy instead of JuriWhy?
>>688232968>relevant fansWhat does this even mean
>>688245253/v/ being what it is, there's a lot of people who praise it too.Personally I don't get it. I haven't played all of them, but I've played most, and they're incredibly shit. Other than the first(which at least was trying to be different than the SF2 formula at the time), it feels like the series just doesn't care about gameplay. Which is fine in its way, since maybe it's not supposed to, but I don't get why someone would praise it on any other level than "it's survived all this time."
i can't wait for them to make the next generation of mishima
>>688232860They are the big 3 in terms of players and competitive numbers, though MK has more general popularity and cultural relevance than GG at least. I would say there's only a "big 2" when ut comes to fighting games, that being SF and Tekken, but if you have to put a third place there then GG is definitely in the running since Strive gave it such a popualrity boost.
>>688237226>smash>not a fighting gameExcept it absolutely is.I bet you think Mario Kart isn’t a racing game too
>>688236801No one is calling KoF big. It's not big either in sales or tourney entrants. We're talking about Street Fighter, Tekken and Guilty Gear being the big 3 and Mortal Kombat being dogshit.
>>688237226Tekken literally fucking sells more than Street Fighter now lmfao. Also there's no tourney scene for Smash anymore now that everyone's aware that it's a dog whistle for pedos and sex preds.
>>688241110Killer Instinct is still at EVO, it's just not a mainstage event. The game's 10th anniversary patches were announced there. It's Nintendo who's being a bitch about not wanting Smash there.
Why do people act like MK has never been liked for its gameplay when people fucking love MK9 and MKX? It's MK11 that shit the bed and MK1's problems are mostly non-gameplay related.
>>688251149zoomies only care abou the FGC, they think it invented competitive fighting games
>>688238907SOVL
>>688232860>big three of fighting gamesAren't you forgetting someone, Soivers?
>>688250604That's what makes the fag's post so pathetic. Even if it's technically third, it's so massively far below the other two that putting them all together as a big 3 is disingenuous.
>>688237226>fitetan niggers stop seething about smash challenge for a hot minute challenged: FAILEDyou lost.forever.
>>688251040nobody wants to deal with smash niggers and nintendo is right for shutting down anyone associated with gimr and VGBC.activision had the right idea buying major league gaming just to kick out smash bros.
>>688254698seems like all the smash players moved over to strive anyway with how crazy they are
>>688254869They deserve each other, honestly. I hope they tear themselves apart again.
Only fighting game that matters is pic related.
>>688255949My favorite was the CN one but they were all mechas
>>688245253only the new ones get shit on because the women look like shit
>SSBU is the best selling fighting game of all time according to wikipediaShouldn't Mario be there then?
>>688234442wrong, people just play the story and local and that's it reallyi know when my dad and brother invites friends over, they play mk
>>688232860I thought that was Akira Yuki from the thumbnail
>>688232860the big three is tekken, smash and kof
ITT burgers think smash is fighting gamedon't respond
>>688258423I mean, it did win the "best fighting game" award. It has shotos, big bodies, rushdowns, combos, directional inputs and motions, seems to me like it's a fighting game.
>>688232860The series is just as censored as Street Fighter nowadays, you can give them that much
>>688258623this is literally white genocide thank g*d we still have virtua fighter
