>>720419057
Not that guy but there is no reason to think the Collection, any of the collections will have an active player base because Capcom refused to play for crossplay.
Even with crossplay, the player base would be split across different games, but without it it's split between games AND between 3 platforms. It is surely fucking dead.

Dead or alive xtreme venus vacation. I have to fight the urge to jerk off so it's 100% a fighting game.

Too many games interest me and it's easier to stick with what I know. It's easy to translate 2D fighters to other 2D fighters, but wanting to learn DOA, not knowing which one to play, with no one else to learn with and a minimal online scene kills my hype to learn proper.
>>
still playin doa
>>
I really want to learn Darkstalkers 3 but everybody I match with has like 8000 hours on the game, the only fighter I can play and enjoy is SF6 cause I can find other noobs, and DOA5 cause it has fun singleplayer modes.
>>
>>720428484
Yeah that tracks. Once you get some muscle memory goin’ and stop second guessing every move, most ranked players just crumble trying to mash their way out of any pressure. The bar to not look like a bot is low. Also LTG’s like a case study in how not to play or act, so it’s kinda fun dissecting his gameplay like a monkey at a typewriter.

I'm bad at fighting games, to put it lightly, but it seems fine. I'm getting my ass beat because I don't know SHIT about how to play it, but I'm slowly picking up manual combos (they have the Pulse system a-la P4A to auto-combo, but I don't feel like using it).

Slayer (at least before Strive) had janky neutral and spent a lot of time fishing for counter hits. When he DID land a hit confirm, you still had to land his links, which filtered a lot of new players.

Now I don't know what happened with Strive, but it seems all of that went out the window and carried onto Wilnas. At least Wilnas really struggles against zoning. Dude cannot handle low fireballs and multiple projectiles specials. His defense will also become significantly worse when his meterless DP is inevitably removed.
>>
Typical Slayernigga acting like he works hard after doing nothing in neutral other than FB Dandy Step and random 6Ps.

>>720440497
I'm not saying he works hard, but he's infinitely easier than he used to be. Shitters often couldn't time his links and went back to playing basic gattling characters.
>>
>>720440154
Slayer's neutral in Strive is still kinda dumpy, your only options are various ways of launching yourself at your opponent

He will have a bad time against good zoning, but typically this just builds him 50 meter and makes you eat extra shit the second he gets a single hit in
The one exeption imo is Dizzy, because Ice Field completely prevents him from playing the game at all

Most zoning also leads to very little damage (unless you use Wild Assault, or you're playing Ramlethal and you can kill someone from hitting the tip of your fS), you're better off just fucking killing him and exploiting his lack of reversal with looping oki than playing keep away
>>
>>720440694
He definitely is easier now, but so is everybody, but he was never a shitterproof character, more than that, I'd say he's famously a complete gorilla. Every usage rate I've seen for Xrd has him near the top and anecdotally, he's easily in the top 3 characters I've come across most in +R.

He is obviously still more difficult than he used to be because Strive's an easier game and even the easiest character in +R is fairly tough, but he absolutely is the same kind of character relative to the overall difficulty of the game in +R, Xrd and Strive. It's just that even +R's gorillas are harder than a lot of Strive characters because of the overall difficulty of each game. HOS and Sol would be the easiest characters to pick up in +R in my opinion and they both have a higher skill floor than all but maybe the 1-star characters in Strive, not even getting into the skill ceilings.

Which fighting games girls would you like to see get BLACKED?

>>720440961
Ky, Jam, and Pot are easier than Sol. Sure, you can do strings into 25% meter supers, but Sol is an entirely different beast once he starts using his character specific sidewinder combos.
>>
>>720445880
That's why I said not getting into the skill ceiling. There's a lot to learn with Sol but he's not hard to just pick up. Saying he's hard because of Sidewinder combos is like saying HOS is hard because of recharge combos, and both of those things are true in a sense, but it doesn't factor into the difficulty of just picking up the character and playing at a basic level.
>>

>>720446127
The issue is that you can do a lot more with base Ky, Jam, Pot, HOS, and Argably A.B.A. than you can with Sol. He's kinda limited in gen 2 without sidewinder.

Crazy to realize that May is so difficult in this game
>>
>>720446864
I don't think so really, I feel like they gave him such an easy high damage combo with FB Tyrant Rave specifically to avoid this and it works fine. Obviously you'll still be far from playing optimally, but I don't think a new Sol player would feel like they're playing a gimped character just because they can't do Sidewinder combos, and I've seen plenty of new players that just go for something into FB Tyrant Rave personally. It's not hard to get a feel for his neutral or pressure either.

I still think there are other characters that are arguably easier than him, but if I were ordering together +R characters based on how easy they are just to get started, Sol would go in with the likes of Jam, ABA and HOS.

I think it's in the middle ground of anime fighters in terms of difficulty and enjoyment. Not "too" difficult and dense with crazy mechanics and potential interactions like Blazblue but not as simple as things like Granblue or DNF.
It's in a comfortable zone for me and there isn't another fighting game out right now that I'd rather be playing. But I'm also a weird guy who likes the story and really likes the "city at night" urban fantasy aesthetic.

[st] and CLR have the same story mode which acts as a big prologue. Then there's the arcade mode in either games which are the same.
UNI2 has its separate arcade stories but no big prologue to explicitly explain what happened between the games.

>>720479405
No. Its biggest lulls are like 1200-1500 daily, not including consoles, and its not even going through one of those lulls at the moment seeing as Ranked got a decent amount of people back to it. It gets more like 2000+ normally now. It's not up there with Tekken and SF6, but even a fighting game that regularly got 500 players would be good by the genre's standards, nevermind regularly being in the thousands.

Most of that was fake, and she had burst to Deflect Shield against the high/low IAD mixups
Dizzy's actually a really good counterpick to Testament if you know the matchup, she can negate Testament's projectiles on reaction, and she has the same run speed as Ky so she can just dash block against normals or straight up ignore Arbiter Sign

>>720480713
>Same. I was kind of shocked that ranked mode wasn't a bigger deal, people where more excited to play that cyberpunk character or whatever
I feel like there hasn't been that much talk around it, and it's definitely scuffed (no winstreaks after gold, matchmaking bug where you can get the same dude 3 times in a row, grindy af)

Also while the balance patch is mostly good (Pot and Ram didn't get shot enough), it's not a crazy patch with a ton of sweeping changes
I actually expected way more since they were saying they were reducing reliance on Wild Assault, but characters got at most one more route

>Ranked just gave more a reason to actually improve on the characters I play more
It's the reverse for me, I'm waiting on Diamond to settle out a bit because I kept playing against people that are like top 50 on their character and it's too much for me

I think that's just the nature of the recency of the mode. Most players are duking it out in platinum right now just like how the launch months of SF6 were. Eventually the ranks will be inflated in the next 3-6 months then Diamond and up will have a larger pool of players.

Strive's steam numbers have always looked deceptively low because the console playerbase is massive in comparison. A lot of JP/EU players are on PS5 and that doesn't even account for crossplay traffic. Also, for a fighting game, having consistent 2-3k on Steam alone is kind of wild-most “dead” FGs would kill for that baseline. People just don't realize the bar is way lower for what constitutes a healthy FG playerbase.

The skill gap between Diamond and Platinum is way bigger than I'd have expected. I've been at Diamond 1 for almost all the time since Ranked got added, but anytime I demote to Platinum 3 I absolutely maul. When I get back to Diamond 1 the average skill level is leagues higher.

Not directly, I think it's correlated to multiple things

First one is that she can get it on a lot of knockdowns and then still meaty or setup fish for reversal safe oki, or even get it in some 2H starter combos, so you're not losing much putting it on

People also got used to some of her quirks, at release people were claiming it's bad because it takes 10 seconds to trigger, but a lot of her kit is designed towards stalling things until it activates
Ice Field is one example since some characters can't play neutral with it and it takes 5 seconds, meaty Ice Spike > Ice Field also can't be punished by certain characters
Her throw animation lasts for almost a second
She also gets long-lasting blockstrings, Charged 6H > Charged Wild Assault > Charged 6H is literally gapless and will take around 3 seconds, on top of giving you a strike/throw mix

The other thing are her other buffs play into this a little bit
Ice Spike got its active frames doubled, which now lets her do something like 2D>Wings of Light>Fish>Ice Spike for something like +8
S Michael sword now gives HKD, which lets her do S Sword > Meaty Ice Spike > Ice Field for a fullscreen, un-punishable -5

also you can poke the nukes with an extended hurtbox, the first hitbox they put out doesn't knock down so you can trade with just the first hit to get it off screen faster and move forward. This works best if the only thing stopping you from running under the high nukes is one P nuke.
once you're in range throwing nukes is more of a commitment then it seems, she can chain nukes fast because they have special cancel rules into each other, but it's almost a full second before she's allowed to block or do anything else, how you can respond is massively character dependent but since she can't do two of the same nuke in a row if you block or trade with a low nuke up close she's usually minus, or at least it isn't strictly her turn still and she has to worry about your options. She can do stuff like make you block P nuke and the manual detonate K nuke to try and catch your option but that doesn't catch most crouching/low profiile options, and obviously if she FRCs you just have to hold that but as long as you're not playing ABA or something you've got options. Honestly even ABA has a lot of options its just that she gets IKd for losing three interactions where other characters would still be at 60% hp.

I wish I could enjoy Street Fighter 6. I have massive fomo with this shit, but I just don't get why everyone likes it. It's so fucking dogshit. Drive Impact feels cheap, Drive Rush is annoying and makes every fight feel the same. It doesn't even feel like a Street Fighter game, it's too slow and heavy and zoomed in. Why does it seem like everyone loves this game so much?

Eh it's got a bunch of very retarded shit that makes it very reasonable to ignore but it's also dirt cheap and has the best lobby system of any currently playable GG so no harm in someone wanting to get into the series trying it.

The next one is still going to be Strive, it's announced as a "future update" so it's probably not going a standalone release
Game's also in a good spot right now

Strive's ranked mode actually works now and gives you matches fast
+R's lobby system just gives you a huge list in which you can find ~10 people who have good ping (9 of them are seasoned players), it's serviceable at best

It can be very dumb and every character can do some crazy cheap shit but it's also really fucking fun. Though that kinda crazy shit is not for everyone

Honestly, I just don't like the way it feels. It's too jumpy and spastic. I like a heavier pace to my fighting games. I'm a 3rd Strike fag, so maybe that's why. I've been wanting to get into Strive for quite a while now. I guess I don't have much of an excuse now that they added the ranked mode.
Not sure if I should play Baiken, Bridget, or ABA.

>Strive's ranked mode actually works now and gives you matches fast
Yeah I know I'm on it constantly but I just wanted to say it and every other post bb arcsys game still has the worst fucking lobbies while +R has a very good one in comparison to even non arc game lobbies. Wish Tekken got something like that before they shit the bed with 7 and 8.

It only took a few months to feel "done" with SF6. I actually liked Drive Impact and how zoomed-in the game is though.
>>
>>720512807
Same. I got to Plat after about 60 hours and thought "I'm tired, boss". I realized I would have to actually learn how to use Drive Rush and I just stopped wanting to play. I went back to V for a little bit, but now I mostly play 3rd Strike. After playing that game for a while, I went back to 6 and had a little bit of fun, but it felt incredibly bland. Every character plays the same. Not literally, obviously, but in 3rd Strike, there are characters I absolutely hate fighting and others I love to fight. Each character has a unique playstyle and enough room for the players themselves to have idiosyncrasies. 6 just feels the same no matter who you're fighting. Yeah, Guile might zone you some or Gief might grab you more, but it's only minor deviations.

>>720512223
Yeah I get ya, the way a game feels to a person is very important so it's pretty understandable you feel that way and funnily enough, the way Strive felt for me personally was one of the reasons I went back to +R even though I had fun with it.
I don't have that much experience in Strive overall, but I would guess it's maybe more up your alley. Also pick who feels best to you, I have only played Baiken (don't own Bridget of ABA) but she felt cool.

I've played +R for like 80 hours and I could never really get into it. I definitely think the aesthetics are better than Strive. As for Strive, I played all three a long time ago, but I barely have over 20 hours in the game in total. Maybe it's stupid, but all the trannies really keep me from wanting to really get into the game for real. At least Street Fighter is full of black dudes and nerds. Well, mostly. Well anyway, I think Baiken is just a sick ass character.

Definitely look for a key online. I got SF6 at like half the price that way, and this like a year ago, maybe more. It's not a good fighting game, in my honest opinion. I feel like even Tekken 8, in a vacuum, could be better than SF6. I dunno, though. Tons of people seem to love it, so maybe I just don't get it. I'll give it credit where it's due, the graphics look very good IN THE RIGHT CONDITIONS (the super cinematics are all very cool, for example), the music is very good, the character designs are great, and the overall style of the game is good. I like that they went with the hip-hop style again. It's also got a good roster, I think. For all these reasons, I wish I could like the game. Stylistically, it's not a bad game, it's just that the game itself is not for me. If you like older SF games, you probably won't like 6, but if you've never played a SF game, you'll probably like it. In fact, if you've never played an older SF game, download Fightcade and play 2 or 3 or Alpha for free.

I hit Diamond 5 myself, and I thought, almost Master, and I thought to myself, "Alright... So this is where I just keep cranking the lever on matches and crack out on points..." And I decided to spare myself that. I think one of my turning points was the match where I learned from first-hand experience that checking raw Drive Rush even as a read was still a fucking dice roll. I feel you on that other stuff. I think what you're describing is the byproduct of making these games easier execution-wise so that optimal routes are more clear and accessible, leading to less variation. Games are becoming more combo-focused in general too, which feels like a dead horse at this point in general fighting game discussion, especially in what puts people off. People shit on SF4's one-frame links but at least it was usually just shit like jab jab strong special hitconfirm where a lot of times that strong was just there to optimize and you could still get special off your lights. Which could lead to certain risk factors coming into play due to the execution boundary, especially in the face of i-frame high damage Ultras, giving room for players to differentiate. I'm apparently a weirdo for actually liking execution boundaries in games exactly for reasons like these.
>>
>>720516232
>that typo at the start
So I says to Mabel I says...
>>
>>720516232
I like a certain level of execution leniency. For instance, I can't, for the life of me, do a delta motion. Maybe if I played a game or character with one, I could eventually learn, but I just can't, and I am absolutely very happy that they aren't used in SF anymore. However, I do agree that there needs to be a certain level of execution barriers in order to make the game actually interesting. I feel the variety of inputs is really what makes fighting games unique, because each character can literally FEEL distinct by the way you control them.
Anyway, Drive Impact was really what pissed me off after a while. Drive Rush was kinda fun to use as combo extenders. I, myself, actually like combos, but not when they're absurdly long. Anyway, I can't react to DI for the life of me, even after labbing for hours, and there were so many times where I was in some kind of animation, like let's say divekick, and I can't do shit. Yeah, that's on me for doing an uncancelable move, but even when I'm just jabbing, their DI eats my jabs and I get fucked. It's literally just a big retard button they can hit, gain some armor, and win the trade. It's very annoying.
I wanted to reach Master and maybe even Grand Master. I wanted to be super good at the game, but I eventually just got pissed off with it. At time time, I was also checking out older SF games, since I had only ever played 2 when I was young and V when it came out, and I really enjoyed 3rd Strike. At this point, I've completely uninstalled SF6 and am determined to become very skilled with Chun Li. This thread has convinced me to check out Strive, so maybe I'll give that game a shot, too. I absolutely love the characters.
I really miss my girl, Cammy. I've loved her since I was a kid. Alas, maybe SF7 won't be shit.
>>
>>720514985
You could alway play a bit more and see how you like it. 20 hours is not that much overall, and assuming you own Strive already you can always just try it for a bit and then say fuck it and go back to 3S or something if you're not feeling it.
And like >>720515093 suggested you can always try Granblue too if you haven't already. There's a free version too.

Also no need for the trans folks to bother you. I get it, but If you are feeling the game, then just go for it. Who knows, maybe down the line you'll think some of them are cool people

(Ps: yeah, Guilty Gear X to +R era asthetics are so fucking rad and Baiken is also fucking rad)
>>
>>720516928
>no need for the trans folks to bother you
Wait, what board am I on again?
Anyway, I'm deep in the sunk cost fallacy pit, having bought the game and like three DLC characters. I may as well turn it into my secondary.

>>720516232
>checking raw drive rush even as a read is a dice roll
It's funny how this is true no matter your skill level because like 5 days ago broski was eliminated from a tourney just because a bison did instant scissor kicks out of raw DR to beat a check and that snowballed the round
>>
>>720516847
Not to keep stroking that game off, but I thought SF4 reached a good compromise by having shortcut/alternative motions for some of the more complicated moves.
>Drive Impact
If a normal FG is RPS, then introducing Drive Impact is rock-paper-scissors-shotgun. I don't know, I might be biased because I got into the closed betas, and playing around with DI was one of my favorite things about the game in that stage.

3S is fun shit. It's not my favorite SF and it's been a while since I hopped on it but I used to play a lot of different characters in it. Makoto basically being a gorilla in a teenage girl suit is the best shit. Yang was my first main, followed by her, then eventually Hugo. I didn't start messing with grapplers until I got on SF2 Champion Edition and thought, "how the fuck does Zangief even work in this game without his tools from later games," and I decided to answer that question myself. Turned out the answer to me at least was leaning super hard into meaty sweep tic SPD. Hugo's cr. MK sweep is pretty fuckin' stupid too, like being able to link into it off claps. Dude just makes mashed potatoes out of your face clapping your fucking ears together then just goes *boop* with his stanky leg and gets oki. Amazing.

I never could get Chun to work in CE, though. Maybe I didn't lean hard enough into lightning legs chip. But she has 0 answer to Bison's buttfuckery unlike a shoto who can crosscut his psycho crushers.
>>
Will there ever be a day where Axl stops being shit in Strive?
>>
>>720517418
I've never been able to like SF4, it just felt very muddy to me. That makes zero sense, I know, but the movement and feedback to the hits didn't feel at all satisfying. It felt like moving in quicksand. That's just me, though. I also think the visuals are kinda ugly. Now, very ironically, I do think SFV is good and fun, but only by the end of its life. By that metric, I would still consider SFV good, because that'd be like saying Fight for the Future is bad because Next Generation was (which, it most certainly was). I think the feedback is super punchy, V Trigger is kind of a mystery box, but gives characters a level of individuality, ESPECIALLY characters like Menat who can go fucking sicko mode with it. I would still play it if it didn't take 5 minutes to find a match.
Anyway, as for 3rd Strike, I've gone through tons of characters. Makoto is super cool and she got me into the game, but I eventually got bored of her gameplan. I don't really like everything being based around Karakusa. I then tried Akuma because I LOVE Akuma, I think he's such a badass character, but he was too shoto for me. I eventually gravitated to Chun for her technical depth, and I just like her design. I know she's OP, but I'm shit, so it evens out. I've also always been a big fan of Justin, so I like watching him play Chun and learning from him.
3rd Strike is my favorite purely due to the feel of the game. I think the pacing, weight, etc are all absolutely perfect. I hate it for not having the World Warriors, though. I wish the cast was a big bigger. Oh, and the art and music are GREAT. It's really a beautiful game. I've played a good bit of 2 and Alpha, but they're not my kinda games. 2 feels a bit too dated, and the Alpha games, while being pretty, are a little too floaty for me. They feel like they're almost anime games, which I guess makes sense considering MvC2 exists.

I feel like I enjoyed SF5 more in retrospect than my conscious mind acknowledged in the moment. I never played it a whole lot, I wound up playing more ST around then, but playing shoto in 5 was fun. Before I stopped playing, I decided to do the dash and mash Ryu meme for real, liberal grabs, test their ability to check forward dash, all that good stuff. I clipped a match where I fought a guy who spent his V bar on V-reversal to get grabbed out every single one back-to-back, shit was gold. I wish I wasn't constantly cycling out my fighting game clips, don't have it anymore. I forget the character but I'm pretty sure it was one who had 3 V stocks too, great comedic effect. I think my favorite character all-in-all looking back was Sakura, though.
>Justin
Dude makes good content desu, his clickbait thumbnails bely how entertaining the videos really are. And good for him finding a way to pivot his skill set into something still marketable without having to stay competing.
>Alpha
I think Alpha 2 might be next up on the plate when I get back on these games. I played more A3 before. I can see the anime comparison especially with the air teching in that one. Only unlike an anime game where you'll be more prone to teching at the earliest opportunity so that you can airblock anything else that comes your way, varying maybe to throw off grabs, you pretty much NEVER want to air tech at the earliest opportunity in A3. "Stop air teching as soon as you can" is like the "stop jumping" of A3.
>>
>>720517132
Go for it man. Having a secondary game can be a good change of pace so yeah. Only reason to stop is if you simply can't get into it after many hours and genuinely are not having any fun many sessions straight.

>good for him finding a way to pivot his skill set into something still marketable
His clickbait is super obnoxious, but yeah he just seems like a really charismatic guy. There's an interview with him that was made recently, I think it was Chris or Brian or one of those new FGC guys, and I learned a lot about him I didn't know. He's a very interesting dude, the way he approaches fighting games and especially the stuff he got up to when he was younger. There really aren't anyone quite like Justin nowadays, and there can't be, because the FGC is just so big now and the events are all so official and sponsored and stuff. Maybe on the local level, there's still some kid winning Chinatown Fair tokens and selling them for money.
>is like the "stop jumping" of A3

>>720519474
I played Xrd for a little while. Don't worry about the numbers. Skullgirls was what got me back into fighting games as an adult, and that game has always had super low numbers. With Xrd, you just have to go to the player lobbies. The lack of proper matchmaking in that game is the main reason I quit playing it, and it's the only reason I'm considering playing Strive now.

>The lack of proper matchmaking in that game is the main reason I quit playing it, and it's the only reason I'm considering playing Strive now.
I did consider getting into Strive just because I might be too stupid and SF-brained to play the earlier GG games. It still just looks extremely unappealing to me for some reason.
>>
>>720519804
I am also too SF brained for anime kuso. I like Strive because there's weightiness to it and the links feel much more natural to me, being a Street Fighter player. I labbed juggles and other kinds of combos for a long time in +R to relative success, but the whole speed and weight of the game, the way neutral works, etc, is all just way too spastic for me. I also used to bemoan how simplified the characters in Strive are, which is true, but I actually realize they're about as complex as Street Fighter characters. It's not like they're braindead or anything.
>>
>>720519632
The thing about Alpha is there's air blocking but ground normals are air unblockable, so jumping is still a heavy risk especially with V-ism giving people anti-air CCs. That's why you don't want to tech early, you're basically just setting yourself up to eat somebody's back+fierce conversion.
>Wong's clickbait
I think it's been algorithmically proven that having those soiface thumbs greatly increases viewership, and that's the reason Justin does it. Which I respect.

I still have some clips but very few from real matches. Mostly combos. I actually had great fun with KoFXI just labbing and doing its very unique mission mode. I do have one here of me playing KoF '98 with a dude from /vr/ where he's pushing my shit in, which I thought was only fair to make, because I previously posted one where I beat him. I held off until now because I'm being exposed. You can pinpoint the moment my heart rips in half when I see rekka x1 hit and go for the full hits only to falsely extend and get punished hard.
>>
>>720519632
>Maybe I was playing Alpha 3 wrong then lol. It felt very jumpy to me.
Chicken blocking is really strong in all of the Alpha games (it's not as OP as in Vampire Savior but still strong) and V-ism activation having startup invul makes it dangerous for the opponent to contest your jumpin, whiffed throws also build meter in A3 and air throw is universal so you'll see people whiffing air throw repeatedly for meter

Do you already know how to play fighting games?
>yes
Then go on Youtube and look up "[character you want to play] primer" and there is likely to be a video guide to start you off. Or, join the Discord server and the character channels there have tons of resources
>no
Go on Youtube and start learning about fighting games and the way they work. Learn about footsies and neutral, offense, and defense. Justin Wong has a good guide, Core A Gaming makes good FGC content, and pretty much any big FGC Youtuber has some kind of guide. Theory Fighter is pretty good, too. Most of all, just play the game. Learning a bunch of shit on Youtube won't help if you don't have a foundation to base it on.
>don't know if I can
Why, because it's hard? You'll get used to the lack of input buffer. That's really the only thing that's particularly harder about 3s than new SF games.
