Why do people actually think it's a good idea to recommend old fighting games to newfags, it has to be the biggest bait possible
i got into melee in 2021 or whenever slippi was released and had no problem learning the game. i stopped playing it 2 years ago but i reached diamond level before i stopped.
>>730613327they don't recommend the games they're playing, they recommend the games that make them sound cool
>>730614751Why do you have sign instead of rev 2?
The modern fighting game landscape is a mess. It's much easier to just have fun with SF6 than it is any previous SF game though. AFAIK the official collections are kind of dead, and getting a decent match going in Fightcade can be a headache even in popular games.
>>730613327I’m a man and I assume anyone asking for advice on getting into fighting games is a man. As such, I tell them not the easy path, but the real path. To put it simply, I tell them which games are good and enjoyable. I got into the genre with +R and I think that’s the best way to do it.
>Melee instead of P+Melee was janky and rushed, but that jankiness is what made Melee into the fighter it is today. Now combine Melee's semi-intentional advanced tech with Brawl's SOUL, my God now you have a 10/10 fighting game.
Is Samurai Shodown dead?
>>730613327Unironically a crabs in a bucket genre where everyone will only say to play the older games, then wonder why newer games are either not coming out or just rehashes of older titles.e.g. any versus game that is just MvC.Unironically the genre was better when it didn't need to meet such insane production values, regardless of sprite price, because they could reuse those assets and they also weren't trying for cinematic appeal.
>>730615846>and getting a decent match going in Fightcade can be a headache even in popular games.What are you talking about you just type games in the ce, 2x, a2, a3, or 3s lobby nigga
>>730617189Kof 98, kof 02, motw, cvs2, ssvsp, mvc1, mvc2, and cvs2 also have decently size lobbies on fightcade. Also the supercombo page for mvc1 is completely useless, and the naomi games i mentioned have no training mode for some reason
>>730617335Supercombo can be strangely bad even for games that have had a lot of attention
>>730617189By "decent match" I mean comparable skill level and compatible connection. With something new and popular like SF6 it's far easier to grind through and learn the game, even ignoring the tutorials the game provides. You'll get a decent match instantly. I'm talking out of my ass slightly because I haven't committed myself to Fightcade in years, but even if it's much more popular now there's no way it compares to the ease of a modern popular game. The issue is that there aren't many of those either. Even ignoring the Saudi shit, how many people care about City of the Wolves? SamSho2019?
>>730617942Something you need to take into consideration is what a "modern popular game" is. Strive? MK1? Even Tekken 8? Probably going to be harder to have a solid match in them than 3S. SF6? Definitely has more low level players to grind against but 3S has plenty too.
>>730616369p+ looks too easy to be fun. i watch the weekly highlight videos and every single combo there always looks like they could be input by a 3 year old easily. melees tech being difficult to input is what makes the game interesting and this is why p+ and rivals 2 isnt interesting.
>>730618410I just wouldnt recommend 3s because its not a real street fighter. Parry and the balance are horrible. We get it, evo moment 37 was cool but its time to let it go.
>>730618649Balance is only really horrible for the lower half of the roster
>>730613327>Smash Melee and UltimateGave me a good laugh.
>>730618775The uns mog the entire roster. Its a two character game. Melee has better balance.
>>7306186493S is more of a real street fighter than V or 6 at least, you just don't have other options since they stopped doing street fighter.>>730619103Ken, Makoto, and Urien are close enough
>>730619207>>>730618649>3S is more of a real street fighter than V or 6 at leastLol no>>>730619103>Ken, Makoto, and Urien are close enoughNah, thats like saying ganon is viable in melee.
>>730617942>>730618410Strive finally got a proper ranked mode which follows the same type of ladders as SF6Even when it was tower it was easy enough to get matches as a scrub but now it's probably easy as hell. I have two characters in Gold which isn't even the lowest rank and people are not very good down there. No idea what's going on in Iron/Bronze/Silver but surely you're not going to run into Slayers doing Pilebunker loopsI agree Fightcade's environment isn't the best to get quality matches, but it's alright, especially on something like 3S where there's a decent number of peopleAnd it's free, so worst case scenario you lose 10 minutes of your time setting it all up
>>730618649>just wouldnt recommend 3s because its not a real street fighter. Parry and the balance are horrible.I get what you're saying but I don't think the Drive system in SF6 is very Street Fighter either, but I also hate combofaggotry so I might be biased. The most fun I've had in SF6 is when neither of us engaged with the Drive system. I wish I were joking, but it can override the rest of the game when it sees appropriate use. I didn't play much SF4 and I didn't play any SF5, but going from any version of SF2 to SF6 can feel far more alien than going from 2 to 3S. I don't even like 3S all that much, though I used to.
>>730619207>3S is more of a real street fighter than V or 6 at least3s doesnt have dps and fireballs. It doesnt have the world warriors either. How is it a real sf game?
>>730622903What new game would you say is a real sf then? V and 6 don’t even have Makoto.
>>730623784>What new game would you say is a real sf then? 4, 5 and 6>V and 6 don’t even have MakotoWho
>>730619754I've never liked Guilty Gear so I completely forgot about Strive.
guilty gear is astro turfed so hard that some people actually think its relevant? Theres no reason to ever ever ever bring it up in the same breath as sf tekken or mk. When the gear meme is finally dead i will be sooooo happy
>>730624321That's fair>>730625101Don't look at evo registration numbers
>>730625101>or MKlmao
>>730625101Strive 2.0 is coming and there's nothing we can do about it.
>>730625624Best selling fg series, among the most influential, possibly the most widely recognized, one of the most beloved.
>>730625746have you tried crying about how it's different without actually playing xx/xrd?
>>730626243It’s not even just that it’s different but it’s just boring. Never saw the point of playing strive when +R exists and is easier to operate online
>>730626243Why would I cry like a veteran shill that muh favorite series is dead when I can just enjoy all three games individually and respect each flaws and merits?
>>730616385No? II, V and VII are alive.
>>730617335>mvc1Huh, I don't know a single thing about that game
>>730626742Its 2v2 with 6 button sf style controls, and theres dedicated assists. Colossal and psylocke are the best assists by far. So i think the game would be easier to pick up and play than mvc1 if it werent for the wiki and discord being useless
