how does one get into fighting games?
when winkawaks updates and there's a new kof, you download it and play it and boom you're in a fighting game
Play the older ones that interest you, ignore modern slop
Honestly people asking this question without also being aware of the answer at the heart of it all is why fighting games have become so dumbed down and pushing towards accessibility over instilling an innate desire in players to improve.If you ask this question and already know it's "study the characters and learn the matchup" then you've already got the right mentality and won't drop the game as soon as you get washed.
>>719913321you stop being remedial yolo mashing urbanite rog
>>719913321I don't know I got bored of them, just don't feel like playing them
>>719913321>1 houris it that bad?
>>719913321just playthe worst thing about fighting games now is the community since netplay has been figured out since covid
>>719913321Learn the game's mechanics and your character's basics. The "neutral" is so abstract yet so important, and it differs from game to game. You won't find the answers to everything by watching good players alone, just play and learn from your mistakes.
>>719913463That's no doubt the right mindset to take in if you want the full experience. The question is how many people actually are willing to do that in order to sustain the genre as is. It's very niche whereas a genre like souls that tells you to get gud can afford to turn away players because of it's wide appeal.
just pick top tier
>>719913321>how does one get into fighting games?I've tried but to be honest I don't feel like putting hours in practice mode, and playing at a shitter level can be fun for like 2 hours then becomes extremely repetitive.I guess I spent all my competitive energy in Overwatch, Rocket League and Apex Legends, nowadays I prefer single player experiences
>>719913321>e-celeb opinionsdiscarded
>>719913321What does he say in the video? Tyler1 got master in like 100 hours or something right, he's one of the best examples of how you can learn the genre quickly if you have a good head on your shoulders.

Which fightans do i play
>>719913463I don't know about other fighting games, but I picked up Tekken 8 as my first one and season 2 killed all desire in me to improve. This game is so bad right now that I will never pick up a fighting game ever again. I am not going to waste so much of my life on something that the people making it don't respect. There is so much knowledge in Tekken 8 and yet the game itself completely disrespects you. Think about Jin's heat smash for all of season 1. For over a year they did absolutely nothing to nerf it. A completely stupid and overpowered move. They nerf it in season 2 and it's still insane. I'm sick of this shit. The developers know the state of the game and they're trying to tell me "you'll get on your knees and keep sucking." No, I won't. Go fuck yourself.

>>719913321>>719915932Yup. I have much more fun playing them in person, but I hardly ever get the chance to do that.

>>719917754>I picked up Tekken 8 as my first oneI'm so fucking sorry dude. Get your bros together and play some Tekken Tag or Soulcalibur II with them if you want a good time.
We were close, and I mean really close, to a fighting game renaissance that would both bring in new blood and maintain the depth and elegance the genre was once known for, but soive singlehandedly destroyed it all.
>>719918145sounds like you're jealous
>>719918218Especially when they won't even talk to you.>>719918236Good choice!
>>719917754>"you'll get on your knees and keep sucking."all tekkenbabs did though i remember pdx and mainman sf6 streams where they got so tilted from losing they went back to yikken 8
>>719918236Have fun.
>>719918286>soiveyou mistyped sf5 causing the great fightan drought
GBVSR is unironically the best contemporary, currently-in-competitions fitan as of this date.
>>719916892The issue there is you're expected to "git gud" against an AI that sticks to understandable patterns and signs. Expecting people to "git gud" when they need to apply that to someone else who's just as invested as them in winning it takes on a whole new level of hopelessness when it goes badly. That's when recognition of flowcharts, gameplans, and character tools enters into the equation and that's the step a lot of new fighting game players struggle with.
>>719918341>Especially when they won't even talk to you.i get a lot of hate comments in my steam profile though
>>719918457Nah, SF5 was kino. Soive was the downfall.
this is your goat?
>>719918457SF5 was a huge misstep, but Strive basically caused a widespread replacement of existing fighting game fans with newer, much more annoying ones.
>>719918720>replacement of existing goober gear posers that didnt played xturd with actual playersftfy
>>719913321he didn't want to say part of the problem was all the trannies but know that he thinks this way
>>719918709Is this really a problem in sf6? wow that looks awful
>>719918790You misunderstand me. It turned people away from the scene in general. You're also blowing smoke up my ass.
>>719917754Tekken 8 is a mess of a fighting game, you're seeing the series at some of its worst.
>>719918840Playing SF6 feels like self-harm to me. I wish I didn't feel that way about it; I like a lot of things about the game.
>>719913321>how does one get into fighting games?Fighting games don't provide enough enjoyment to justify the insane amount of time that you need to invest in them to start having fun

>>719918489It is so much fun to watch GBVS tourneys until Metera/Ferry comes on screenI legit just alt tab until it's over, or they're getting rekt by a rushdown. It's just so fucking boring. Nothing fun or unexpected happens.
Wasn't Tekken 8 actually great before season 2? Why is everyone chimping out about one fucking patch? Like nigga just wait a patch lmao
>>719919145you miss his banana hair?
>>719919214I've been loving Tororo's Percival gameplay recently. Watching meterafags makes me want to learn metera thoughbeit
>>719913321You have to not be retarded for one, which for most people is already a filter itself.
>>719913463Retard. Fighting games dying has nothing to do with them becoming casual. In fact the literal only successful fighting game is Mortal Kombat which is the most casualised one out there so it takes too seconds to instantly prove this monumentally stupid post objectively false. Nah the reason fighting games died is because people don't like losing and getting to the point where you don't lose takes too much effort because the fighting game fandom has filtered out everyone who isn't a mega sweatlord. Now the only place for fighting games is causal couch coop because fucking nobody wants to bother fighting against some sweaty faggot who has spent 9000 hours learning everyone. Why the fuck would people want to do that when they can just play other, better genres?
>>719913321Fighting game degens deserve all the shit headed their way. There is so much undeserved self-aggrandizement that it is absurd.
>>719919238No, lol. There was even worse shit early in the game's lifespan (like Devil Jin having infinite range on his u/f+1, Heat Smashes having insane tracking, or Heat Engagers leaving the opponent at something like -17).
>>719919172>posting core fraud gaming as his argumentyikes!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsC8io4w1sY
>>719913438Pretty much this. In fact, within a decade, I see the F/G online environment going from an approximation of competitive arcades, to being what the "World Tour" type modes are today: The exclusive haunt for those who do not play fighting games.
>>719919454I was having fun with CvS2 in CFC2 until everyone ghosted the game...

>>719919391Ah that sucks, I heard it was a recent thing. I actually really wanted to buy it and play Clive because I'm IRL a homosexual
>>719919547>I'm IRL a homosexualMy condolences
The Modern control scheme found in every new fighter is gay as fuck and I don't give a shit if fighting games die as a genre, modern controls need to be removed and never discussed again.
>>719919547to be honest if you wanted to play clive you didnt wanted to play tekken in first place so go for it
>>719919624Is Clive worth playing regardless? This is basically what I'm hinging my purchase on
>>719919403>one-word shit-posts
>>719919145Ken's my hapa nigga for life as well, but I actually like estranged husband Ken. I enjoyed the comic they put out before the game came out, too.
>>719919238>Wasn't Tekken 8 actually great before season 2?No, I didn't think so. The Heat mechanic sucks.
>Get reccomended uni2 as the most epic hardcore modern game>it plays like fighterZ but without the drip (its shit)Bros?
>>719919686The kicker is that, for Nigger Slider 6, Crapcom were going to drop "classic" controls altogether; only back-peddling because the handful of old school devs left on the team (by now, all replaced with feculent poojeets now) warned that it may "alienate veteran fans" (jej). I wish they had dropped it, as it would have saved be a few dollars and disk space for something I doubt I'll ever play again.>O/C made over six years ago
>>719919968what does heart button do?
>>719919868I miss launch DBFZ. Does it play like that?
>>719919373Fighting games are dead because people don't want to lose and they can't blame it on other people.
>>719920052no it play like the gay powercrept bamco patch version
>>719913321is this a real video?
>>719913463>pushing towards accessibility over instilling an innate desire in players to improveYeah; it's called the PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE, and just as electron flow, people will always gravitate towards what's "easier" -- be that gameplay, game design, money-making, or whatever.Today, that pursuit of "easier" has become a rollicking race to the bottom: Ushered in by the lowering of the First World's ramparts to the Third World (a. k. a., "globalism"); and it will conclude in the dissolution of all human creativity which once resulted the things that once made living "worth it".
>>719920038That obviously makes everybody's Lovenses buzz.
>>719920038It pumps in another dose of mRNA... Kind of like a choke for a diesel engine.
>>719919373You realize this is just a loop you're going around, right? People can't stand losing because they think putting in the work to figuring out why they lost, instead getting coddled by overly simplified mechanics in a desperate attempt to get the genre to be more appealing broadly.

>>719919373Mortal Kombat has like 300 billion knowledge checks per game, way more than Street Fighter and anime fighters, wtf are you talking about
>>719913321get your ass beat for a few hundred hours
>>719919373explain mobas? average playtime on a moba is well over 1000 hours, much higher than the average playtime of a fighting game player. in fact i'm sure the top 1% of mobas also play the game far more than the top 1% of fighting games. where are the korean bootcamps where you play 14 hours a day for mortal kombat? does not exist because it's not as sweaty. accept the facts, fighting games are for casuals and autistic retards who are too shitty at other genres so they stick to the one they can win at
I only find fighting games fun if playing against an opponent at a similar skill level, and finding such opponents always proves so difficult that the games end up feeling like a chore.
>>719916947
>>719920849If you lose in a moba, you can cope by blaming your team. Yours wins and loses in a fighting game rest solely on your own skills.

The issue is the same as all skills, trades, and hobbies; how to get to the same state of enjoyment of the process without removing/destroying the process itself.

Lookie here.Fighting games =>men playing games where men wrestle around with other sweaty men in homo eroticismRacing games =>one man in control of 5000 pounds of steel traveling at high velocityare fighting bros closet homos? why not take the man pill and come to the racing side?
>>719920786>Mortal Kombat has like 300 billion knowledge checks per gameNah... It's just that NRS games cannot be "mashed"; whereas, most others can. The real distinction is that NRS games are ANTICIPATORY, as distinct from the the normal, REACTIONARY model that most fighting games adopted:>"anticipatory"everything done is pre-planned and not done on reaction -- e. g., a combo starting with a jumping attack is input whilst still airborne, and then plays out after the character lands.>"reactionary"everything is done as a real-time response to what's taking place -- e. g., if a jump-in attack is blocked, "dialing in" the combo will not play out, which gives the player the window to adjust on the fly; "hit confirms" are also more relevant, as things are done as a reaction, not in anticipationThat is why NRS games boil down to either fishing for openings to land rote combo strings, or just projectile spams (why they never allow projectiles to cancel); versus something like SF, which allows for a less "turn-based" style of play. Of course, the latter model inherently allows for mashing to 'work': In Ghetto Slider 6's case, when dovetailed with the baby mode controls, mashing can even be competitively viable; and because the game also incorporates canned chains (Yiddish: "target comboes"), it also allows for more NRS style rote "dialing" of block attacks; facilitating the hyper-aggressive, rush-down shit-fest that the game 99% boils down to.
>>719920654Well, I myself play Tekken Dark Resurrection on my vita these days, and Matrimelee/Killer instinct 1+2 on RetroArch. There are lots of old fightans that are so fun to play>But I want to play competitivelyPlaying fighting games for their e-slop aspect, is an eventual waste of time. You will see it when you hit high ranks. Just play for fun. If you are still adamant about being competitive, try 3rd strike and capcom's jojo on Fightcade. They are ages better than modern fightshit games like TK8 and SF6
>>719921061Rollback doesn't have to eat inputs. That's more of a fightcade problem
>>719920980
>>719913321>Get raped for dozens upon dozens of hours by people that have been able to carry their skills over from every game since SF2 until you probably maybe sometimes get marginally better as in a 15 second increase to how long you can stay alive before you succumb to the rapingFighting games are following the same downwards trajectory as arena shooters but the numbers are being carried by Asians and blacks.
>>719913438Rivals of Aether 2 is the exception
>>719913321thousands of hours on league GREAT hundreds of hours in a fighting game BAD
>>719921734It inherently does, though. It's just that in shallower the games -- those in which players tend to spam rote BnB's, compounded by overbearing universal mechanics dictating play -- the dropped inputs are more accurately compensated for by the code, and for the self-explanatory reason that there are less permutations for it read on the fly. Conversely, in a deeper fighter, someone doing a lot of diverse shit and playing on reaction -- who won't likely be doing the same things over and over -- roll-back will more often get things wrong when it does have to step in. Something like Third Strike would not fair as well with roll-back as Wakanda Slider 6 would -- e. g., a 2-frame parry would not likely be accurately simulated if the input were dropped; while a mashed counter-Drive Impact would.In the exampled game, I've had a few hundred-millisecond-plus lag games against chinks (forced to play them because of Crapcom's retarded "yellow flag" system not discriminating pre-match crashes from mid-bout ALT-F4's), where I've had landed command throws cut mid-animation and turn into my character being thrown! That is roll-back in extremis -- where the lag is so much that it, literally, just "guesses" incorrectly... And, yes -- as implied, I don't rote spam shit when I do play (Manon) that god-awful game; rather, I play "old school" and react to whatever they do to me... Hence, getting / seeing the rough end of the roll-back stick more often than the average baby controls Ken user would.
>>719922118That's not a fighting game; it's a 2-D arena brawler belonging to the "party game" sub-genre.>apples and oranges
I'm actually very interested in fighting game single player, I just don't care about fluff modes beyond arcade ladder, I just want matches that feel closer to fighting a real person. Capitalizing on punish opportunities seems like the big hurdle, you get away with so much more flagrantly unsafe shit against most CPUs. Some do come closer than others though. SNK stuff has a reputation for being hard but a lot of times it's just cheesing you the way a real player might. Actually makes for some pretty fun clears.

>>719913321>how does one get into fighting games?You don't, unless you want to study. Each of the popular games has a decade plus of game knowledge you'd need to compete with people and if you're not going to study combos, matchups, and meta then you're going to have a bad time fighting other people
>>719919238>Why is everyone chimping out about one fucking patch?It was a pretty big update anon. That isn't something they can just fix in another patch, and even if they could, they wouldn't want to admit they were wrong.
its over
>>719913321I don't play fighting games because the inputs with my controller are too scuffed and I am not paying money for the weird joystick keyboard fighting game fans use.But more importantly I fucking hate when the enemy is doing a 4hour combo on you but you have to pay attention in case he messes up a single step. So fucking lame

>>719920989Delay with a good connection was significantly better than memeback, yes.Seeing shit happen for a fraction of a second only to be corrected after that is jarring as fuck. People automatically sucking off rollback and automatically labeling delay as "le bad" is proof that people are fucking retarded and will just parrot whatever their e-celeb of choice told them.
>>719913463cope. you retards have been making excuses for decades. instead of telling people to "git gud" why don't you "git a brain" and admit that FGCs just suck to git gud at.the issue isn't that no one wants to "git gud", it's cause fighting games are absolute dog shit to git gud in. games like chess, League of Legends, and various esports have millions of people willing to put in the work to get good. but fighting games can't keep an audience cause they suck to learnwhy would anyone want to>sit in the "lab" for 100 hours to learn a bunch of blockstrings, combos, and oki setups>browse discord/twitter/youtube for obscure tech>relearn new routes every time a new patch dropswhen they could>learn the game by playing the game>never go into practice mode for a second of their life
>>719929056not a single person that has ever actually played both a lockstep and a rollback based game online, at least at a level beyond literally randomly mashing on the buttons with no understanding, could believe this.
>it's the "chess is le popular despite being hard" "you can't learn fighting games just by playing!" retard doing his shtick againHow is this faggot not tired of this?Holy fuck.
>Play ASSFAGGOTS for millions of hoursStopped there, nobody gives a shit

>>719929587why do you care so much about a genre you clearly don't play anyway?legitimately 100% of people that actually play fighting games online disagree with you. Even the people still playing delay based games like SF4 and MVC3 play them despite the netcode, and would kill for rollback.

>>719923245i got into a fighting game when it was new and it still sucked to learn.>>719921103FGC mostly just purity spirals and malds harder than an italian finding a recipe where they put cream in carbonara any time someone complains about something.>"I grew up with *insert shitty mechanic here* from *insert 20 year old fight game here* so this how how fighting games should be designed in *insert current year here* and everyone else should have to suffer because i did it>"You don't want to grind 2 hours to learn basic combos? This game isn't for you" >Why dont people want to play my favorite chinese cartoon RPS simulator?^thought process of the average unemployed FGC cuck
>>719929754I don't give a shit what a bunch of idiots think.I know exactly what I experienced; my SFIV games were fucking FLAWLESS when I stuck to 4-5 bar connections.
>>719929527cause FGC cucks always make excuses instead of taking accountability for the failures of their genre.you love telling people to take accountability and git gud but you don't take accountability for why your genre is shit and no one wants to learn it
>>719930073I don't want more people to learn to play fighting games. Those that want to learn will learn and I get to call all the complainers tards.
it requires hours upon hours to practice the skill to play a fighting game well enough to start enjoying itmost people would realize if they're going to spend that time practicing something for that long and not enjoy it, they'll rather do something else better with that time and effort that isn't a video game
>>719920969okay now explain chess which is one of the most popular games in the world and has been for centuriespeople have no problems playing chess which is a perfect information game based 100% purely on skill. unlike your chinese RPS simulator there's no luck in chess. you can't blame bad high-low guesses in chess like you can in a fighting gamewhy do people enjoy chess and not fighting games?
>>719929527He's right tho.
>>719930383People don't enjoy chess more, it's more accessible and a status sport for yuppies.
>>719930304that's pretty much why i gave up fighting games after dragon ball fighterz. i was ballsdeep into that game but i hated>the faggot community constantly purity spiraling and pearl clutching about whatever archaic mechanic from 1992.>the amount of time it takes to learn a new fighting game>the amount of RPS that happens>the fact that i had to hop in "the lab" to learn something as fundamental to the game as a basic combofighting games could easily succeed - just look at super smash bros. it's more or less a fighting game no matter how much FGC faggots act like they're better than Smash.but fighting games don't succeed because the FGC community is full of retards who spend 90% of their time acting like fighting games are 100% perfect and it's the new players who are the problemi'd love to play more fighting games because they're actually really fun to play. they just suck balls to learn. low IQ FGC cucks would rather act like everything is perfect than admit their genre has issues.
>>719929991yeah you probably mashed randomly while the delay bounced between 2 and 12 but couldn't tell because you don't know what you're doing, and when in rollback connections of the same quality you see a couple of rollbacks and lose your mind because that's obvious visually instead, which is more noticeable when you're mashing and don't really know what buttons are supposed to be coming out when anyway.perfect connections are fine in delay, but you don't see rollbacks in perfect connections either, because rollback also includes a small amount of delay, if you see a rollback it is by definition a connection where the delay would have had to increase in lockstep networking, and its way more tolerant of instability or temporary jitter than pure delay, and handles simple higher latency much more gracefully because it doesn't fuck with your inputs. A sub 50ms 0 jitter connection is the same on delay and rollback, but increase it to a 100ms connection and it's fine on rollback but shitty on delay, or 50ms and 30ms of jitter or some packet loss and again rollback is fine as long as it's not too sever but delay just breaks.Nothing will ever make a shitty connection good and a perfect connection doesn't care what kind of netcode you use, but rollback is better in literally every situation between those two ends.
>>719930849There is no issue, go play Smash and stop complaining about the genre. Execution requirements are part of the balance in the game and if you want to simplify commands you have to remove moves.
>>719930565>Status sport for yuppiesFGC is a status sport for dorks who couldn't get into martial arts or actual sports, ever wonder why blacks love it? Also FGC requires neet amount of hours and expensive equipment so it's more yuppie than chess which is literally free.
fighting games are easyjust do shit
>>719913321kwab
>>719913321Video games, faggot, VIDEO GAMES!
Fighting games feel slow and restrictive and clunky. I want to be able to move in 3 dimensions, souls games are a lot better for pvp, unironically.Also the fighting game community seems to be all black and brown people.
>>719919373Unironically this. I grew up playing arcade in the 90s. So zoomers don't really understand the difference between golden age of fighting games and today. Back then, there was barely any tutorials aside from bootleg VHS. People scrub it out and learned IRL. This created a situation where you have plenty of players to play with. Also the game is not that solved that easily because you have to pay to play. It is why it took years before USA learned how to parry multiple hits and how to use aegis reflector from Japs. Compare this today where everyone has access to frame data and pros microanalyze every moveset and upload their findings on Twitter or Youtube. The game can easily be solved within a month. This creates a situation where sweaties dominate the game while scrubs who don't have time to lab will lose 90% of the time. The scrubs eventually lose interest and quit leaving a pool of sweaties trying to compete with each other. The sweaties who lose will then smurf beating up the remaining scrubs to heal their ego. The remaining scrubs quit and the game is basically dead.
>>719918709This webm perfectly encapsulates why I uninstalled the game>Drive Rush makes it so losing one interaction means getting carried all the way to the corner>Throws are so stupidly powerful that getting thrown three times in a row is a regular occurrence because guessing wrong means death due to how much damage can be down off a single hit confirm>High damage is made even worse due to how powerful lvl 2's and 3's areHonestly, if they just greatly extended the map range I think most of the problems would be fixed as it would give you a lot more breathing room to make mistakes and not instantly be pushed in the corner but Capcom is never gonna do that.
>>719913463This. I knew I would love fighting games the moment I saw people playing each other in the arcades. Some dudes just have that particular spirit in them.
>>719929006Hard to give any advice other than to keep trying them. I mastered those inputs way back on the SNES. I don't even have to think about it these days as it's all muscle memory.
Boils down to>play regular game>can have fun playing while also learning core game mechanics>play fighting game>can only have fun playing after spending time learning core game mechanicsIts a hard sell to get people to invest hours of practice into a game that they may not even enjoy. They ain't competing with the other games in the arcade or whatever your mom brought home from blockbuster anymore, theyre competing with every other game in existence, most of which are fun right out of the gate.
>>719933008>Throws are so stupidly powerful>because guessing wrong means death due to how much damage can be down off a single hit confirmDo you understand that the reason people take five throws in a row is because they aren't powerful

>>719921669This person knows his stuff.NRS games have their own flavor and are enjoyable. But they definitely play out different and I would argue you get your ass beat harder in NRS games if you don’t know what you’re doing. Pulling off 50% combos is viable and easy, so when you play dumb you can get punished HArD. Compare that to SF6 where only the most autistic practitioner of the game can land a combo over 30%, as you have to perfectly chain all the game mechanics together in nearly perfect timing to land a max damage combo.

>>719913321Just pick an easy character that deals huge damage. Every fighting games has that archetype.
>>719913463Truth Nuke: Fighting games are dumb because they aren't based off strategy or knowing the right move. The idiot who picks the wrong move or strategy can and will win if the guy who is smarter than him isn't as good at doing a convoluted input or reacting at 1/60th a second for a combo link. This annoys people who don't like losing because of something that isn't about a competition of wits between the players.It's like if I played magic the gathering and after every spell I cast I had to do a DDR dance mini game. And if I failed, my spell fizzled.Inputs should be either basically removed or so lenient that if you know the input you're never gonna drop it

>>719939692Lemme blow your mind, retarded frog:Understanding your limits is a part of fighting game strategy. The #1 reason noobs get frustrated is because they overestimate their own abilities and expect too much of themselves. Your attention is a resource that you have to manage.

>>719942045Thanks for admitting that the only way to get into fighting games is to be naturally good at them in the first place. A player who doesn't is guaranteed to lose to most other players in most fighting games because the ones who were naturally good were the only ones who stuck with them. Defending against oki is a literal guessing game with no depth and is completely unfun. Only naturally good players stick with fighting games because they don't have to do it as often.
>>719934053I have been trying to explain this since throw loops were in Jive it's a hopeless endeavour. Unless you have 25 frame tech window throws that lose to strikes or can option select the piss out of throw defense people will bitch about throws.
Don't like fighting games that let you punch girls. really awful thing to do.

>>719913463came to have fun, not have monkey rage tantrums from the opponent or deal with opps got caught in an fnfinite combo loop, damn lil timmy is also not having fun, yeah I'd like to return this game
What do you guys think of a fighting game like this>there are no corners >all knockdowns send the opponent flying away from you (no oki ever)>"N-nobody will go for knock downs then", you might say. Well, the dash forward off the knock down is the most lucrative way to acquire meter in the game.>extremely intense negative penalty system. 1 backdash = warning, 2 = you're doneBasically, I want a fighting game that's as anti-set play as possible with a heavy focus on aggressive neutral and player interaction.
>>719944872THATS A MAN, BABY!
>>719943178completely ignored my point.Good players are good because they manage their attention better; It's a skill you can learn. It's not about being "naturally good" by having superhuman reflexes or some shit. >okiForcing your opponent to guess is your reward for outplaying them. It's supposed to suck for the defender. That's like saying "chess sucks because i lose all my pieces".
>>719944872>there are no cornerscouldn't you just kite forever just do some chip damage with a projectile and run away until timeout
I can literally say the same shit about the dumb assfaggots games this dude plays, except they're 100 times worse than any fighting game
>>719946182They could certainly incrementally backpedal, but the person approaching forward is gaining more meter than them.
>>719913321I learned how to really fight in that time, now I'm a black belt in like 3 different arts.
>>719946162no top fighting game player was ever bad for an extended amount of timejust like any sport you need a certain talent
>>719922885dont even get me started with niggas that only play smash bros, you could pick up any of the fucking FGC characters in the game you would have absolute fucking leverage against your opponent its almost unfair how much of an advantage you have over your opponent because they're playing checkers and you're playing chess. I once killed a Lucina player doing nothing but Rising tackles and Powerwaves because I knew that I could get away with it and Smashers dont understand that jumping at someone with an invincible wake up is retarded.
sounds awful
Fighting games are only fun against your bros in a couch/arcade environment, all the new ones are awful sweatfests

>>719944872>getting rid of a core mechanic you don't like and replacing it with one even more intrusive and contrivedgetting put in the corner is already the negative penalty for running away, and oki is interactive anyway

Fighting games suck because of Skill Based Match Making.Back in the days of arcades or sitting on a friends couch you could be king of the hill, the big fish in the small pond. And if you were a cool dude you could win your locales and go lose at regionals and have a fun time. Now? If you're on the ladder you eat shit. You eat shit all the time. And fighting games are one of the few places where elo/glicko actually works and is fair. But fair still sucks dick.
>>719946162>completely ignored my point.just like you completely ignore the player numbers being pitiful for fighting games for a reason....
>>719947607Sounds like I struck and nerve and you had to try and deflect quickly
>>719947842OK retard.
>>719913321you need to like playing them in the first place.
>>719913321>buy game>pick character you think looks cool>fuck around in practice/arcade/whatever>hop into ranked>(probably) get bodied>[this is the important one] don't quitIt really is that simple. All you need to do to 'get into' fighting games is not quit when you get bodiedHowever, because you have no teammates to blame, this filters most players with fragile egos (but not all, see LTG).This filtering process simply filters too many players to sustain or reasonably grow the genre.
Sounds like weak people afraid to lose. You know, not every games is made for everyone. If you don't want to put in the time to improve and learn the mechanics of the game, there are plenty of games out there for you. Stop trying to make games conform to you. Just find games that you'll enjoy better. I don't come into your romantic comedy and demand it cater to a gooner fantasy because I don't expect it from the genre.
>>719913321Just pick a Waifu.
>>719913463Street Fighter 2 didn't bring in a billion dollars in quarters because you needed 2000 hours of training to win a fight.This notion of making games to appeal to the 0.001% of players is why fighting games will die and/or stick with tournaments of 25 year old games until the people that play them are in the old folks' home and literally no one cares anymore.

>>719949203you can boot up sf6, tekken, or strive and win a fight without 2000 hours of trainingThe whole point of ranked modes is to push you towards fighting people you can beat. The more you lose, the easier you oponents. The more you win, the harder your opponents.

>>719913321Is he really complaining about other people playing fighting games more than him when hes sunk 18 hours a day into league for years?
>>719913321It's a dead genre so you don't lol go play something that actually requires a brain to play
>>719952216I think this is the inherent disconnect between "investing in League" and "investing in fighters". Being a "top" League player isn't based on your skills, just judgement calls and team synergy. There is no explicit, direct responsibility of the individual themselves as their role switches each game. There is no strict tests of reaction, memory, skill, just working around the current situation. And they think because they play a lot of a "competitive game" that they can somehow transition into fighters. That is not the case. A match always has infinite possibilities that change every second, even if you keep getting washed by an obnoxious sweat. You don't need to study frame data and matchups to a science, but you need to have a decent grasp and know how to navigate your character and the game's rules decently enough to not get destroyed. Now apply that to hundreds of other incredibly similar games who have similar, but distinct rules, feel, character differences, and so on. Last I checked, I can't even remember what other MOBAs exist outside of League or WOW or whatever. Fighting games are much more vast and indepth than any MOBA. They're difficult at their core. TLDR: of course pointing at an icon bar to do moves and wiggle your character around a map wouldn't translate to fighting games, are you serious nigga?
>>719952585your point is entirely invalidated by the fact that he went from never having played a fightan seriously before to being in master1 in 100 hours
>>719948182Honestly, if you get the basics down by practicing a few combos then beating the CPU on higher difficulty, you'll do fine in lower ranks. You'll get bodied in the top rank for sure, but this is why good matchmaking it important (and often shit in any game).
ArcSys owes me a Tokon beta code.
I also love e-celebs, I'm watching Bel-chan nowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4cdv6HNGMI
They're like platformers, you won't enjoy them if you didn't grow up playing them
>>719920849Asians
>>719938672Correct and for you who is seeking that super high skill intensive experience fighting games are perfect but you are the exact kind of person who would play for 9 billion hours and master a game and filter anyone more casual. You have to acknowledge that you are in a niche and people like you are not the majority. Fighting games only appeal to people like you which is why they will always be a niche.

Most people who play vidya are bad at them and don't fully understand the mechanics on a technical level. It doesn't bother them. When you beat a boss in any other game, nobody expects to be perfect; in fact they'll sometimes spend hours dying over and over trying to beat a single boss.So why is it, when it comes to fighting games, people act like you need a PhD just to go online a scrap with some other beginner?

I can't stand it, man. I'm just done with it. I will not miss Bedman's blazblue ass playstyle with 8 way mixups, Elphelts chimping out and controlling neutral with one button and a grenade, Sins doing retarded damage for free, try hard Johnnys, and Ravens who spam the same wake up mix up EVERY.

>>719949213No matter what type of controller you're using, consistently hitting the inputs exactly correct and within a small like 10 frame window during combos is something only machines can do. Guilty Gear Strive has the right idea by making it lenient.
>>719913321Get into it as a child so you can internalize the bizarre, unintuitive controls inherent to the genre, or be a genuine autist and dedicate dozens to hundreds of hours meticulously bruteforcing the muscle memory before you can start learning actual gameplay concepts that change per game and per matchup.Fighting games are dying because it's an archaic genre with an archaic control scheme that does not make sense if you didn't grow up with it. The learning process is so unnatural feeling and so miserable because it's just a slow process of getting your ass kicked until it builds calluses. Fightang-fags will try to argue this, but the numbers speak for themselves, and they'll just have to helplessly cope as they slide further into irrelevancy.
>>719958261Strive has 4f linksKara Cancels are a 3f windowOnly gatlings and special cancels are lenient
Is it ok if I buy both Strive and Granblue even if I haven't played fighting games since forever and even when I played them I was bad at them?
>>719958665Nooo you must play epic old hard-core anime gaemz hop on hokuto no Ken bro
>>719958506It doesn't because no one could pull that off. You're confusing a link window with the time you're actually allowed to do the input. Also everything input related is lenient in Strive, you can miss input and still have the game give you the move.
>>719913438>new player picks up an older game>gets raped by players who've been playing for a decade+amazing
>>719913321I have seen girls pick up the fighting genre and rapidly develop their skills in 3 months that would whoop this losers ass if he spent a year trying to get good. What matters is who you learn from and watching how pros teach these girls is like a cheat sheet.

>>719959410I don't know what that even is. Tell me how moving your finger the slightest bit "wrong" before covering the correct hole on a flute is going to make you miss a note.
>>719951856you mean you wouldnt let her drain your ballz until they turn blue??
>>719959642not every instrument has frets or holes
>>719959642I think first I’ll tell you that a flute uses fucking keys you absolute fucking retard. Please stop talking.
>>719958763the input buffer is 4f for links, the followup window can be 15f for a 6f move but a lot of juggles don't have that room availablethe game even has 1f links if you really look for themhttps://youtu.be/qO8mavafSgs?t=1837
I find it weird how threads here will go on about how you need to spend a bajillion hours in training mode before you can ever dare go online and then I just win matches because most people don't block low.
>>719959703And not every song is played 100% the same. Listen to any recorded music and a live version that isn't just using the recording and you can hear small differences, but it doesn't ruin the music. People are not machines that can move all their muscles the exact same way every time they do something.>>719959710You must have never seen a flute then, retard.
>>7199597411f links are not a real thing if you mean doing an input, not even a bot could input 236 in less than 3 frames.
>>719959867LMAO this brown as fuck third worlder is doubling down on a flute not using keys
>>719959930nigger the dash is what you input for 1 frame
guys i just playeded a fighting game and got rapedhow could this happen to me?
>>719959867Is this retard confusing a recorder with a flute
>>719960084sounds like you need to anti air and punish more
99% of the population lack the mindset to enjoy grinding and practicing.That's like asking why only 1% of the population are piano or music players, or mathematicians, or physically fit, or rich or professional sport players or 2D traditional animators.
>>719923919I hate children, censorship is always because of muh children, put those little fuckers in camps until they reach 18.
>>719959867Here is a flute
>>719959745People really overstate how complicated these games are, yeah. I don't think anyone but professional players really have any reason to pore over frame data in any game. Conditioning and just reading what's in front of your eyeballs is enough to beat most people.
>>719960243but what if little billy sees brisket's bwc?
>>719960040Nigger, we're talking about motion input not the ability to press 1 button in a single frame.>>719960012I'm pale white.>>719960121>>719960256Everyone calls the wooden one with holes a flute, even video games. Regardless, you have no arguement because peope don't play instruments nor sing 1:1 the exact same.
>>719960618>the wooden one with holesIs a recorder. This is something kindergarteners use. Definitely not something used in the context of the discussion of musicians. A flute uses keys. There’s even a very uncommon form of the flute has had several keys with holes in them. Keys. Some notes do not even correspond to the circular keys. Keys. Because some keys (emphasis on keys) are more like pedals. Do you call your gas pedal a “hole”? You’re going to die early you miserable third world fuck, doesn’t even know what a flute is yet you’re embarrassing yourself over and over again. No doubt you’ll kill yourself.
>>719960618>saaaar I’m the white caste saaaarYou don’t even know what a flute is
>>719960618This right here is why Indians keep maintaining that negative image they have
>>719960862Keep on projecting dumb nigger, if I were a third worlder I wouldn't be struggling with fighting game inputs in the first place
>>719961049Brown shitter doesn’t know what a flute is, upsets himself and kills himself, many such cases
>>719960618>veryone calls the wooden one with holes a fluteNope.
>>719960618>Everyone calls the wooden one with holes a flute, even video games.Lol pajeet admitting he “learned” English from video games
>>719913321This dude has 30k hours in league. How is that any different?
>>719960363>I don't think anyone but professional players really have any reason to pore over frame data in any game.At an intermediate level you still need to know plus on block/safe on block/lightly punishable/giga punishableYou don't need however to concern yourself with the specifics, like whether or not something is -12 or -15, until you want to really optimize your punishes
>>719961049pedro...
>>719961360>At an intermediate level you still need to know plus on block/safe on block/lightly punishable/giga punishableTrue, but I find that this isn't too hard for most players to just learn from experience.
>>719961152>>719961585Yeah, keep on coping retards. You lost the argument which is now why you are running with the goalpost and projecting your own shit color and flaunting your musical instrument knowledge.The thing is literally called a Pokeflute in Pokemon, everyone played that, I never heard of it being anything else. I can maybe vaguely remember the teacher in 6th grade trying to correct us calling our shitty plastic ones they gave us "flutes", but literally no one in class listened.
>guy who calls anyone he dislikes a pajeet is mexicangeeeeeeeeeeeeGG
>>719962382You're talking about the retard I was replying to right? Cause if you're just him trying to push the jeet calling on me, its 1. Painfully ironic cause you started with it, and 2. You need glasses if you think this looks brown, I've been called Dracula in public before at a waterpark.
>>719918709whatever the fuck happened to frame invincibility against grabs/throws on wake up?
>>719962926slime rancher 6 has cool things in it such as meaty throws but its ok since season 3 changed that some of the cast can do them and some not

Yeah its a fighting game thread, i can tell because nobody ever posts a fucking lobby to any game.

>>719963706why didnt you played bbtag with that dude
If you want a balanced game play chess. Any fighting game with different characters will be imbalanced by definition. So the redpilled take is just to consider it slop and enjoy the retarded game for some amusement instead of trying to treat them as esports.
>>719913321>>719913463No retard, you have it completely wrong. These were arcade games designed to be played in 15 minute bouts here and there, mostly when you were waiting for the bus to arrive or something.These days retards force you to think you need to play 2000+ hours... Autists and streamers have ruined gaming and fighting genre isn't exempt from this.Fuck you.
>>719968454all chess boomers literaly complain that zoomers just use best moves and memorize patterns
>>719968813I thought it was inferred that attached your ego to a game is a bad thing.
>>719968813all fighting game boomers literaly complain that zoomers just use best moves and memorize patterns
>>719969440yeah boomers like dsp do that not actual good boomer players
>>719968675>These were arcade games designed to be played in 15 minute bouts here and there, mostly when you were waiting for the bus to arrive or something.This is just blatantly false.
>>719948182A good addition would be to learn which of your moves are enough + on block to learn what you can get away with and what you can't. I think fighting games are really only fun with people who are around your skill level so even if you have friends to play with if one of you is lot better it wont be fun for either of you but there isn't really way to fix this other than one of you getting on the same level, which realistically doesn't happen almost ever.
>>719968675>need to play 2000+ hourswho's forcing you?
>>719971497Me
>>719966661He didnt post the lobby, or at least I didnt see it. Also I was late here, dudes probably gone.
Which fighting game characters have beamu
I miss DOA. I love it so much but it's not easy to find matches these days.
>>719974183Blame amerilards, they killed DoA
>>719949753How do you think a system where you can't rank down from most of the ranks achieves this
>>719974540under duress. the responsible subset banned everyone who complained about puritanism taking over the FGC on the major subs then they eventually shut down the ghetto as well. the control freaks brooked no opinion but theirs
a genre from a bygone 2D era where there were 4-5 different "types" of games - due to the limitations of 2Dnow that videogames are 3D/vr and have massively branched due to technology and tastes, no one gives a shit about fighting gamesit's like asking why people arent churning their own butter; I got better things to do
>>719913321comeback mechanics purely for the sake of Hype tournament or streaming moments is what killed fightans
>>719975248>ignores the entire 3d fighter subgenre
>>719975398not surprised that my first reply has someone who lacks reading comprehension
>>719975248Fighting games are still the only genre with good PvP melee combat>muh Soulslollmao
Fighting games SUCK because despite selling well the entire community just let the devs do whatever they want and allowed them to kill Soulcalibur (the best one btw) because "lol muh tekken doebeit"
>>719971196>>A good addition would be to learn which of your moves are enough + on block to learn what you can get away with and what you can't.that's what the lab is for
>>719975736>good PvP melee combalolmedieval/sword games fill that niche with normiesplease try again
I like fighting games. I think fighting games these days are pretty shit to watch. Compare t6/t7 to t8. T8 is way less hype. Matches are no fun to watch. Same goes to MvC3 against any other team fighter. SF4 is peak street fighter. rev2 is leagues ahead of strive. I think the biggest problem with the fg scene is that devs are making games that are just boring to watch/play. hopefully things change!
>>719913321>learn 1 fighting game that has strong fundamentalsYou now have a foothold for most games in the genre>lab out a character you like>learn matchups and game-specific techYou now have mastery of a particular fighting game
>>719975985The only people playing those are autistic medieval LARPers and their combined playerbase is roughly the size of the PC version of Guilty Gear Strive alone.
>>719976737remedial combo that any black could do
>>719913321In order to become an expert on something, the benchmark is to spend 10,000 hours on it. Imagine to doing that for every new fighting game.
>>719975248OK zoomie, thank you for your "valuable" input
>>719968813magnus carlsen is a millenial and he is still numberr onekasparov is a literal boomer and he always had the best opening preparationdont compare chess to your dead genre
>>719976371I couldn't agree more. I hope that new Marvel game is gonna be good.
>>719918709Not my problem *sip*
>bygone eraIt's not 2d that's bygone, but culture around fighting that's gone. in the 90s we had heroes like Bruce Lee, Van Damme, Jet Li, Jackie Chan and a few younger guys. We had reasons to like wild silly choreography & stunts, and we wanted to do that ourselves. 2D or 3D, a good fight is a joy to watch. Now this boring "realistic" MMA shit has taken the fun out of fights and the movies that made them. Plus the kids today are obese slobs with no reflexes, adhd, and a psychological fear of 'losing' anything anymore due to (lack of) skill. We literally had 2-3x as much stamina, and better sportsmanship.
>>719977886If you actually played chess as often as you bring it up in these threads you would probably be a world champion.
>>719968454which is why Smashies love Smashbros, its slop, but its chaotic, fun slop.

>>719980249niggas will say this then 5 mins later complain that Strive's damage is too high
>>719977781That is a meme.
why do so many black people play fighting games? The FGC is 80% black.
>>719980489>a large portion of the FGC is black>one of the biggest universal terms across the whole community is getting robbed
>>719934446i play strive for he
>>719980489A combination of unironic socioeconomic factors and the part where you beat someone up. As those socioeconomic factors are losing applicability in an era of fighting games being played on PC and having $200 of DLC and growing wealth inequality across racial boundaries you are seeing demographic shift in newer games to look more like speedrunning.

Pleased based OP, one man spam Tyler into being the face of shitter casuals. I know you can do it. Like that guy who spammed boomer/Zoomer posts every day on multiple boards and now its global terminology
You shitters should stick to playing against the computer if you're so afraid of getting bodied in a real match

APOLOGIZE
>>719983973>>719981647take care of your daughter
>>719915932>the worst thing about fighting games now is the communityEver since Discord, the fighting game community has fragmented, and all that is left here are the insufferable faggots complaining who have been blocked from those circles. Good. The insufferable faggots are not about playing fighting games, they just use fighting games as a genre for para-social relationships because they have no IRL friends, because, as you've guessed it, they're insufferable faggots.
>>719913321It took me 5000 hours of Tekken just to play past gimmick mashing. I don’t recommend it.
>>719919373>Retard. Fighting games dying has nothing to do with them becoming casual.Fighting games aren't dying, it's just that the faggots are crying over being ignored. Boo-fucking-hoo.
its up
Its the same conversation every time in these threads but you rarely hear people mention the fact that fighting games are most fun with friends, not some gay ass esports "muh improvement" bullshit. All this "fighting games are too hard" nonsense only applies if you dont have friends to play it with.
>>719984491>Its the same conversation every time in these threadsYou mean, it's the same conversation from people who only use fighting games as vector for friends because they're desperate and lonely.

>>719921601fighting games are the only games where its socially acceptable to beat the shit out of women
>>719986117Not really, once you get in you just play mindgames with frames. That's not a bad thing perse but you won't learn SF style spacing.

>>719987487trve...
The casual audience isn't ever going to come back because they were using fighting games as substitutes for action games back before we had good action games. Pic very much rel. Even if you add a ton of single player content, casuals will not bite, because there isn't a lack of options anymore. There is not a single soul on earth who is going to buy something like SF6 to play through the extensive world tour mode instead of buying any number of critically acclaimed action games.
>>719925459I went to my local fg scene, which is like 80% smash and 20% tekken because there was some granblue being played there. Shortly after the release of rising.after a few rounds one guy said to me>you do the full inputs for every special? I never see you use the shortcutand I was just like yeah, I just think that I want to do X move and my hands do the input, thinking what input I want to use is harder and takes longer than just doing the traditional input.man was baffled and when he told others they very surprised to hear this. Many of them said they didn't do anything but the simple inputs ever, which, who cares, but it was strange how surprised they were by this.I played there a few times but it didn't really work out for me.I like granblue and continued to play it online, but jfc I had some weird experiences there with those people.
>>719918709How old is this webm? Daigo hasn't played Ken in half a year.
>>719986532If you're a faggot.
>>719919238>before season2
>>719974183You are not alone DOAbro. I still play them, mostly 5. I know these games have a reputation for being on the easier side but I'm trying to learn Phase 4 and these just frames are kicking my ass.
>it gets fun after 2000 hours broWhy the fuck would I invest that time just to have fun in a fucking video game? I can learn a fucking instrument or another language in the same time frame.
>>719919238Tekken 8 S1 was good not great, it was a few character nerfs and mechanic nerfs away from being great. The bones were definitely there.S2 took several steps back in the wrong direction by buffing heat, buffing frame data to retarded amounts, and making more stance focused tomfoolery. Not helped by introducing Anna, -the- 50/50 stance mixups character. >just wait a patchUnless you play the game, you can't really fathom the amount of changes they made, how bad they were, and how long it is going to take to fix everything. They're still fixing things 5 months later.
>>719993865and before /gfcucks/ reply to me, the problem is the skill FLOOR not the skill CEILING. RTS as a genre is just as hard, if not harder, and is 1vs1 just like fighters. But, I don't need to fucking fight the game to learn to the controls in RTS. Time spent doing muscle memory shit for controls could be time spent mastering strategy, and speed.
>>719994039RTS 1v1s are even less popular than fighting games, literally 8/10 players stick almost exclusively to co-op vs ai or campaign
>>719944125That's a man.
When I buy a FG I just play through the tutorial, then beat the main story with my favorite characters and then I uninstall.
>>719946712Smash bros doesn't require you to learn moves that look like this. Just pick a direction and attack type.
Doing special moves from right side is literaly impossible
>>719994968If you can do a 214 on P1, you can do a 236 on P2.
>>719995136I do same timing and on p2 side it ain't coming out i literaly have to input that shit 2x slower to come out
>>719986384thanks anon m(_ _)m

>>719913421>winkawaks updateswhen was the last time that happened? a decade ago?
you need friends who are exactly on your level, and willing to play.That's why it's hard to get in. Because no one wants to walk into an enthusiast space and just immediately get thrashed by people who actually know how to play the game.

>>719998620My first fighting game was xrd in 2017 and I just picked it up because I saw ramlethal in an anime I was watching and thought the character was cool as fuck.

>>719976737>self sufficient single character combo>clearly has the ability to go further with more characters>remembered combo limit exists in this gameit's a slight nuisance in Granblue, but it's going to be the bane of a tag fighter like Tokon. People expecting MVC insanity are going to come to a harsh realisation.
>>719998971You think its funny but my zoomer nephew just watches anime summaries on tiktok so he can shitpost on his discord chat.
>>719993865then go do that you faggot, whats stopping you?
>>719994009S1 was trash, S2 is the exact same.they need to fire whoever was responsible for heat and shitty gamedesign.Nobody asked for Dead or Alivre Calibur7.
>>719913321I'm having time of my life learning SF6. I wanted to get into something serious, but this will do for now.
>>720000129Heat would be fine with two things>less chipand>no bound (no free combo extension)Beyond that it's fine. >no it wouldn't beI disagree and prefer my opinion to yours.
>>720000129>Dead or Alivre Calibur7.GOD imagine>Dead or Alive female character and costume design>combat based weapon>Soul Calibur-tier customization>Dead or Alive stagesIt would be absolute kino.
>>719999178>People expecting MVC insanityNobody wants such trash though?
>>719913321People prefer playing League over any fighting game for a single reason, once you lose there's no one to blame in a fighting game besides yourself(not good). You can blame your teammates in League.League and Dota both requires thousands and thousands of hours to master just like mastering a character in a fighting game
>>720001262People really don't know what they want either. People don't see Tokon as being 'ArcSys MVC - Capcom' they just see Marvel as back in fighting games and want those hype moments
>>719917236Anon, Master rank in sf6 is inflated as hell compared to master rank in SF5. You are basically still in Platinum and the real ranking begins in the high MMR.
>>719999178Doesn't the combo limit get extended when you use an assist? I don't like the idea of it in principle and it was one of the things that put me off playing Granblue, but I can see it being at least tolerable in Tokon if that's how it works.
>>720001917I didn't know about it getting extended by assists. If that's right it might be more tolerable then.
>>719918709Imagine doing that in a game with crouch teching.
>>719998728Throw protection on wake-up by the way.
>>720000594>No bound, No ChipActually, I do agree with that.also If the meters were something that you need to buid up during the match, than it might be ok....wait a munite, isn't that just SoulCalibur6's Soul Charge? like the one thing they ever did right in that game was those EX attacks.how the fuck couldn't they just bring that Soul Charge into Tekken, like delete RageArt(nobody was actually using it either in T7 after they added RageDrive), make the game use only RageDrive, and give it some additional damage or maybe safe frames on guard when it's was used in the Charged state.The devs took the worst decision by adding "Leathal Attacks" with the Camera Cut-ins, and the shitty 50/50 Casino from the "Reversal Edge" and now the game is a whole fucking mess...
>>719946712Most Lucina players are pretty brain-dead though. It is fun when your execution is on point and you're pulling off all these crazy combos on Mario n friends. Feels like cheating
>>720001372Half true. People don't know what kind of game they want to play, but they definitely know what kind of game they don't want to play.
>>720001917>>720001989Assists don't extend the combo limit, it simple doesn't contribute to the limit, same with EX-moves and supers.
>>7199133212xko won
>>720002401I mean, I might be wrong, but hasn't the popular consensus been people who grew up playing MVC2 and MVC3 trying to recapture those glory days of design, without realizing they area) recreating all the issues present with those titles, which is why all they make has temporary valueb)'crabs-in-a-bucket'ing the entire genre to be like those entries, parroting poorly designed games as the peak of the genre, leaving other games in the dust.It's why we can have other games come out that, whilst not innovating, are still mechanically well games, that are marred when any "Learning fighting games" video is just going to be on SF6, Tekken 8 and for some reason, MVC3

I just find fighting games uninteresting. I only ever played soul caliber 4. And I only ever played that to make really flat girls in the character creator and masterbait to them.

Only people who grew up on MvC like MvC, and that's a small group of people. >It's why we can have other games come out that, whilst not innovating, are still mechanically well games, that are marred when any "Learning fighting games" video is just going to be on SF6, Tekken 8 and for some reason, MVC3SF6 and T8 will always be the go to "Learning Fighting Game" game, because they have a large player base. Don't know about MvC3 though, never saw anyone recommend that shit for a beginner.
>>720002863Holy...
>>719913321>how does one get into fighting games?By enjoying the competitive process and not having a team to blame your failures on.That's why people don't like fighting games the same way most people don't get into wrestling or boxing, ect over teams sports. It's just you, and when you fail, it's on you. People like having something to blame and fall back on. People don't like the barebones 1v1 thing since it means when they lose, there's no one to blame it on but themselves.
>>720003164That's what I mean, I've seen countless people try to use the "look at the hype moments" to get people to play fighting games. That annoying cosmonaut video from a couple of years back where it was the average black guy praising DBFZ, making references to tournament arcs and using basic things like "EVO Moment 37, MVC3, DBFZ in it's entirety".It feels like they try to sell their communities more than their games. I hear how KI2013 is one of the best games of all time, so why is it deader than the popular games from 25 years ago. DBFZ should've been, and for a while was, the casual bait to play the game. Now they've got arena fighters that perform far better casually. At this rate, we'll be lucky we retain 3 big budget fighters above 10k players globally.
>>719942651I don't know, it's just me being incapable of getting basic stuff like jump in links
>>719913321because you pay $80 plus tip for a game, spend a month learning it and then it's dead and half of the things you learned don't apply to the next $80 game
>>720003464>People like having something to blame and fall back on. People don't like the barebones 1v1 thing since it means when they lose, there's no one to blame it on but themselves.That's why they blame the controls
>>719913421>winkawaksHoly fuck that's a name I haven't heard in over 20 years...
>try to play SF6>it's ken sweat lord simulator>try to play anything else> 20 second long turns and infinite loops
>>720003878>That's why they blame the controlsThat too, or that moves are too complicated despite that they're getting beat by someone who's able to perform all of them whenever they want which might be why they lose if they're still screwing up basic dragon punch or double qcf motions.
>>720003687Well yeah, it's pretty common to show people cool shit if you want them to try something they might find daunting. DBFZ also came out around the same time as MvCI, a game that was collectively shit on and promptly abandoned by most MvC players.KI2013 isn't dead, I just played it last month, and one of the biggest tourneys of the year, Combo Breaker, started with KI2013. You just don't see many people talk about it because it was an Xbox exclusive after FGs moved to PS4 w/ SFV. It wasn't also on PC at launch, the Steam version was shit up until last year, so you had to use the shitty MS Store to play it on PC. And DBFZ was huge, it's one of the best selling fighting game titles ever. Arena Fighters will also always be better casual bait than 2D fighters, since they are inherently easier. Dragon Ball also has a long history with arena fighters, the Budokai Tenkaichi games were extremely popular on PS2.>At this rate, we'll be lucky we retain 3 big budget fighters above 10k players globally.You're exaggerating. Concurrent users are not the same as daily unique players.
>>720004235To be fair though, some games just aren't made for gamepads.
>>720004304Fairs. I'm probably just doomposting without a real goal in mind other than to bemoan what is a fine time for fighting games.
>>719931595Once there is good movement in fighting games people just run away and throw shit at you Smash might be ur game
>>720004420Perhaps, it's just something you have to learn. Yeah, probably ideal to get a stick but plenty of people also figure it out with gamepads and have been doing it since there have been home ports of Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2 in the 90s.
>>719984094>Imagine being this talentless at something
>>720004519I think it's a fine time to, especially with rollback being retrofitted into old games. I only hope that devs start adding more depth back to games instead of constantly removing shit because they less mechanics = more casuals.
>>720004641Still, Super Turbo is fucking ROUGH without a fightstick
