What are ya playin?
S4 of SF6>Vega>Makoto>Rolento>Morrigan
>>736054458In preperation for April 9th, I will play Strive for Jam and GBVSR for 2.60 Relinj Id extensively. I'll also play other fighters occasionally from time to time.
for me its dual blades for the gba
Mashing with Alex in Street Fighter 6. Fun, fun, fun.
I was trying out DOA6. It's okay,
>>736054458this art style is so bad. very unfortunate actually cause snk fighters were kinda cool in theory
>>736054458Mostly CotW and +R, but also picked up Strive again since 2.0 is soon.Really tempted to pre-order the Avatar fighter as well, but I need an open beta first before I commit to that.
>>736054458Granblue Rising, Naruto Storm 4, COTW while waiting for Krauser, and especially Strive while waiting for the 2.0 update.
>>736054458Salvatore is unironically a good addition to the roster.
>>736060598You can download the files from cs.rin.ru and try the last beta, but I don't know if there's online with it
>>736054458only bbcfdid 100 matches in a row last night against the same person
>>736054458Battle Queen
>>736054458I will be playing Strive for the 2.0 update, BBCF, and UNI2.
Is /neog/ that dead? Fuck off with these COTW threads
>>736061859>Stop talking about fighting games in the fighting games thread.
>>736061859well yeah, it's pretty dead lolthey want to claim i ran them off because i shat on snk so much that they couldn't stand it and they migrated to DICKSWORD and LEDDITit's untrue though because they still come back for me because i'm so boopy
>>736061859>CotW threadsBut /v/ hates CotW?
>>736061859What is an acceptable game to use for the OP image of fighting game threads?
>>736062552Oof that's alot of replies. Collage potential.
I don't like SNK and have plenty of reasons given how they managed KOF and Samsho
>>736062601Arcsys games like BBCF and Granblue could work. Waifus from any fighters works too.
>>736062601Any arcsys fighters.
Sf6 it kinda sucks but if they give me Dan and Vega I will forgive them
>>736062601>>736062729>>736062824Every relevant fighter right now needs a compilation of their female cast like how the Blazblue threads constantly get conversations going with this particular image.
>>736063152Having Blazblue OP image brings luck buffs and bump threads?
>>736063152Now THIS is "unique" and "diverse" characters.
>>736054458I've picked up SF6 and I'm slowly playing it every now and then but after watching a bunch of high level matches the gameplay just seems to be>bait counter poke>drive rush combofor every single character
>>736054458Rape Simulator
>>736063602Oof what gives?
>>736063643I am extremely bad at video games
>>736054458Old SNK and Capcom games. I've basically given up hope for the entire genre at this point and resigned myself to messing around in the tried and true with anyone willing to humor me. It seems that the pattern these days is to lower the skill ceiling while ironically raising the floor, with combos that have easy execution but are long to the point of being asinine. I've never been huge on 3S but I would enter locals when it was being run and get by on fundamentals and basic understanding of when and how to use my super and EXs, then just parrying fireballs and telegraphed moves. I was willing to put the same amount of effort into SF6 just to have something to play at locals but that much effort doesn't seem to even get your foot in the door, and the game definitely didn't beckon me to actually try harder.
>>736063740I feel you. Combos have ruined fighting games. Which is ironic since I used to play combo heavy fighters but nowadays I really don't have the patience to learn endless bnb shit because the truth is that it's just a flashy timesink that misses the actual point of these games.
Should I buy UNI2 or CotW?
>>736064551The latter has about 90-100 more players, hovering around Blazblue numbers so you'll find matches more easily.I just prefer UNI2's combos more where I don't need to utilize a resource based universal mechanic for extensions.
>>736054458I started bb calamity trigger I don't play fighters but it was super cheap and the anime VN stuff looked good. I started with rachels story because she's cute and the game is pretty damn hard but I think it'll get easier when I get better at controlling the characters and remembering what buttons do what. Do people play central fiction or is it one of those pisscord fighters?
>>736064901If you live in NA then you won't have too much trouble finding games for CF. Just remember to use player rooms over ranked and lobbies.
>>736054458Avatar and Tokon are the SAVIORs of the FGC!
>>736064901We all play CF
>>736054458Not playin anything. I'm just a fightin hater like all of /v/. I come here to pretend I like games then bait retards into pointless arguments about games I don't play. Because I have nothing better to do and neither do (You)
sf6 killed the genre
>>736064946>>736065027Good hopefully I git gud fast and get through the first 3 games so I can play online
I tried fighting a Master Rank Honda AI today and beat him after a few matches. I thought it was beginner's luck. Then I realized I forgot to change the AI's control scheme from modern to classic. What a difference. I can't win one round and Honda frequently gets perfects. The pressure doesn't let up when the AI gets classic controls. But that's good. The game wasn't cheap. And the AI never gets tired of winning so I get as much practice as I can handle.
no one cares about sf6
>>736066889what do they care about?
>>736067041Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters
>>736066889Did you miss all the steamdb threads?
>>736063152okay but do any of them have barefeet?
>>736067196Fully? No. But there's Mu, Nu and Lambda.
>>736054458Like 50% of my fighting games time goes to GranblueThe other 50% is randomly distributed between Tekken 8, CotW, KoF XV and Strive, in that order.
>>736062601I sometimes make the fighting game threads, and I usually use some image that depicts characters from multiple franchises interacting unless some news just came out like Kenshiro in CotW./v/ gets pissy if you bring up CotW, so maybe don't use that if you make another one of these.
Preorder avatar
why did everyone start making tag fighters all of a sudden?
>>736062626>>>/twitter/
>>736067753Cute pic
>>736067768avatar is so fucking gay
>>736067792It's mostly DBFZ's fault. It was massively successful as both a tag fighter and a licensed property, so a lot of companies wanted to copy that success (to the point that even Marvel went with DBFZ's dev instead of Capcom), and it's been long enough since its release that dev cycles are finishing up + there was a perceived gap to release them into. I also imagine the failure of platform fighters emboldened things a little, as Tag was the next best option for a more casual-friendly, licenses-oriented vehicle for slapping properties into a fighter
>>736067923Agreed. It's just cheap, American "anime" for people who are still in the weeb closet.
>>736068131You can like avatar and actual anime.
>>736067768I've seen plenty of MUGEN fighters with better backgrounds and smoother animations than thisAnd isn't this supposed to be made by the TFH guys? What the hell happened to their talent? I know their publisher raped and disillusioned them hard, but DAYUM
>Brazilians still defending Shitty of the Wolves in Anno Domini 2026Game is ASS
how does tokon play? is it just reskinned strive? i kinda hate this gen of fighting games
>>736068221heh nice try >>736065552 but I'm not falling for that one again
>>736068131avatar is for /co/ what cowboy bebop is for /a/ and gurren lagann is for /m/aka "wow this is awesome what else is there like it? uhh nothing really, sorry"
>>736055786No Dudley, no reinstall.
>>736055786>here's your RE Engined Morrigan, bro
>>736068240There's 4 characters on a team, each slot they're put in is what assist move the characters have. The team shares 1 health bar so you could play the one character you like for 80% of the match and only tag out for super move followups and switching to the other character onscreen during their assist for repositioning or things like that and quickly switch back when you get the chance. You only have the first and second characters available until you wallbreak your opponent or lose a round.

Modern gaming didn't just ruin Fighting games it ruined the entire philosophy behind video games.Prove me wrong
>>736068609Modern Triple A and profit-maxing has ruined dev cycles and sales expectations.
>>736068719I wasn't even talking about that. I was talking about the games themselves. How they are design today. example: Single Player games are receiving Balance Patches nowadays. A single players. A game where you fight the CPU. A game with difficult options. Receiving a Balance Patch of all things.
>>736068279Holy fucking reddit
>>736068809>nowadaysThey've always done that. They just didn't announce it and you wouldn't know something got changed unless you had a copy from an earlier release.
>>736068509Orie's theme is one of the few that actually got better.
>>736068959It's not the same thing. You still have the unbalanced version you can still play and ignore the newer version completely. You have the option to choose which version you want to play. You don't have that option today. If you want to be literal about the past, sure, but it's not what I was referring to. The 1.0 version of a modern game is erased from existence today and you can never go back to 1.0
>>736068809Sweet summer child
>>736069101see >>736069082
>>736069082You can just pirate the first version of games? Or you want devs to give options for us to play the first versions?
>>736069082You can if you buy it from GOG
>>736069230see >>736069296>>736069307
>>736067768I did
>>736069296>>736069307I don't wanna keep goalpost moving. Point is the way games are design today you are not allowed to play the game the way you want to play it. If the devs deem it not to their standard they will erase it. You don't get the option have CvS2 Roll Cancel [ON] vs CvS2 Roll cancel [Patched]. In modern times roll cancelling will just get patched out and there wont be an older version you can play. Especially with all Arcade Cab being always online today and receiving patches via download just like a console or steam. But this was just one example of why modern design is bad.
>>736054458Only trannies and brown people play fighting games
>>736069082I always see this point get brought up, but how many of you are actually playing the older versions of fighting games?>GG #Reload>Street Fighter III: New Generation>GG Xrd -SIGN->Granblue Versus>Any Blazblue other than CFThere's more I could name, but outside of the quick revisit to see how different it was, you never see people touch that shit. And I've said this before, but I'd rather just get my updates for free instead of having to pay $60 every other year so that I don't get left behind with the version that nobody plays anymore.
>>736069706People play Alpha 1, Alpha 2, and Alpha 3 all the time. Same with the MSH, XvsSF, and MvC games. And all of these games have more than one arcade version. The community played the version they like rather than the most up to date version
I mean hell Street Fighter 2 is the best example of people playing the version they like the best
>>736069706>People play Alpha 1, Alpha 2, and Alpha 3 all the time.Those are sequels, I'm talking specifically about revisions of existing games. Like SF3 Next Gen to Third Strike.>Same with the MSH, XvsSF, and MvC games. And all of these games have more than one arcade version.post proof and names of the preferred versions
>>736069943meant for >>736069895
>>736069943You didn't read the post properly. I said all of those games have more than one version. READ. You saw a1, a2, a3 and replied. By the way, the more blatant and easiest source which I wonder why you thought it was going to be hard to find a source is the fact that every single one of these games is a different version on console. Not a single one of them is arcade perfect. Some got patches exclusive to the console versions. Weird you thought it would be so hard to find a source lol
>>7360544583rd strike
>>736069943ggpo/fightcade literally has multiple rom versions of those games
>>736069706If I could play version 1.5 of GBVSR instead of the current version I would, the balance went off the rails since then
How difficult is GGXXAC+R?
>>736071317I like current Granblue as it is but I agree.It's unfortunate because for a while, literally every balance patch the game got was making the game better, slowly but surely, then they decided Belial needed BUFFS actually, and made a lot of questionable choices.
>>736071669Depends on who you play, it’s definitely harder than modern fighting games but I feel its difficulty is still exaggerated. I started the genre with it and often recommend it as an entry point to the overall genre. You can take things slow getting started with basic combos and so on, and use replay takeover to test counterplay.
>>736071696>everyone agrees that Metera and Lowain are top two>Lowain got tiny nerfs and Metera didn't get touched at allI fucking hate Arcsys balancing
>>736071763They gotta fucking buff Nier
>>736071763Fighting Metera gives me AIDS, which is very fitting I guess, maybe that's the angle.
>>736071763Meterafags are rewarded because no other game out really rewards zoning in the age of rushdown and top tier shotos.
>>736071669>Characters have different weights and hitboxes>Character specific combos everywhere>Fast af movement>Fast af game>Heavy knowledge checks>Every character is unique afHard.
>>736071795Leave her in bottom tier and throw the other two Erunes down there to keep her company.Hell, put Ferry back in bottom tier as well, that cunt did not need a 7f f.L with that range.
>>736064267>misses the actual pointWell ACKSHUALLYYY, one of the main points of fighting games is to show off in the arcade. Anime fighters especially.
>>736072037Not only are you ridiculously wrong, you also come off as insufferably homosexual. Fuck off faggot.
What is your honest opinion about Giovanna?
>>736072403>turns into an actual glownigger instead of picrel
>>736072895Yeah... I really, really hate her powered up formIt looks like absolute shit no matter which color you pick.
>>736072403>>736072895it's really funny how you can just remove the dog from her model and only a couple of her animations even look very weird. It's such a wasted design element.
>>736072403She did NOTHING in the story except job to Nagoriyuki
I'm still playing Tekken 8.While Season 3 has been dissapointing, no other game scratches that itch
>>736067768Aight.
>>736074401I can stomach it for about 50 hours each yearly quarter.
>>736054458>super turbo>bit of CVS2 as a side game>some T5DR when mates come round. rollback project got announced for it so mates that are mad into tekken have been looking to play it more.
>>736070267>backstory got nerfedFunniest shit of the year so far.
>>736078658I'm happy enough with how it turned out but it's funny they had such an emphasis on him holding her as a baby right next to him marrying her
>>736054458nothing.raped genre with no future.
USF4.Thinking about firing up the ol' PS3 and play some proper Tekken (T5DR/TT2).Fuck T7/8, straight up cancer.
>>736061859You don't say that with dozens of Street Fighter threads here. You crapcum.
>>736078841The Arkadyzja devs are working on DR rollback. that should be fun.
>>736071876Unironically I think Strive zoning is fineAsuka locks down half the cast, Axl is very good this patch, Testament is good and has snowball potential, Dizzy stops a bunch of characters from playing neutral at allI think Venom is the one that needs slight buffs/adjustments, Ball Set is not scary and Full Set is almost useless, but Stinger is almost too good to the point he can be one-dimensionalAlso no charged Ball Set is a little limitingIt feels like they intentionally undertuned him because he could get extremely obnoxiousGiven they're removing Wild Assault, this should indirectly buff zoners because you're no longer worrying about dash block into White Wild Assault, or pokes/counterpokes into full combos+wallbreaks
>>736079732Are they working for Tekken 6 as well?
>>736079732>The Arkadyzja devs are working on DR rollbackHell yeah.Really strange how Namco never ported/re-release any of their past Tekken games on modern hardware, Capcom has released multiple collections, SNK has done that, we are also getting a Mortal Kombat legacy collection at some point, yet Namco pretends like none of their past Tekken games exists.
>>736080226Didn't T3 and SC2 just get ported to PS4/5 a couple of months ago?
>>736080050it's just the psp in general so T6 might come as a result. >>736080226it's mainly because a ton of those collections are off the back of stolen code. hence why we only really seen the rollback ports AFTER the community got there first. it also explains why they are dead they are often released AFTER people are already playing for free on fightcade.
>>736054458waiting for them to announce Captain Marvel for Tōkon.
>>736067753>/v/ gets pissyWhen ISN'T /v/ pissy?
>>736080276Yeah but why stop at Playstation, why not PC port with cross-play?>>736080281>it's mainly because a ton of those collections are off the back of stolen code. hence why we only really seen the rollback ports AFTER the community got there first. it also explains why they are dead they are often released AFTER people are already playing for free on fightcade.I understand, but my point still stands that Capcom/SNK/Realm Studios have collections while Namco doesn't.
Anyone else having issues getting matches in SF6? First Sunday evening I get communication errors after a match I lost dropped, and now this morning I was able only able to go up against one person before getting an error and not being paired with anybody.
>>736080620>but my point still stands that Capcom/SNK/Realm Studios have collections while Namco doesn't.sure, i was more adding that a big reason those collections don't exist (outside of namco being incompetent) is that tekken rollback stuff is VERY recent on the community side of things so there wasn't really any sort of template for the japs to steal from until now.
>>736080676sometimes the matchmaking just breaks randomly
>>736080676Maybe you got into low-priority queue? I hear it happens if you disconnect from matches too much.
https://x.com/i/status/2038787805887840534the genre is so fucking shit that literally nothing is safe at this point.companies will go back to 20 year old games just to rape them specifically so that there is no escape from garbage gameplay.
>>7360824073rd strike is safe. I fear for blazblue though.
Demon baby is the blazybongo reboot Deal with it
>>736082407>>736082584Why would you rape an already old game? VF5 is a game that kept rereleased with patches and contents, Capcom as always just rerelease or port the game with no changes to gameplay aside of some censorship but why would arcsys cares to rerelease or change Calamity Trigger or fucking Continuum Shift?
>>736082407>>736082968So what happened? I never really kept up with vf. Did they update an old game suddenly and it was poorly balanced?
>>736083418VF5 got many rereleases/patches over the years and this one neutered some movement and stagger aspect.Many fans are pissed and now dont trust them to handle VF6 right.
inb4 some brain genius with 5 hours in his main game tells VF players to split their small playerbase even further by playing on older versions
vf is going BACK TO BASICS
>>736066889I care bro
>>736083828>1.6k hours>can't be bothered to do avatar battle achievements
whens mahvel
Why can't Tokon be labeled as "mahvel"?
>>736055786>another crossover character that is just a different flavoured shotoim good
>>736084540doesn't beat my favorite
SPINAL
>>736084540I love that it clipped it
>>736083890next trailer at Summer Games Fest! i believe!
>>736083953It's a micro-aggression toward Capcocksuckers and they'll cry.
>>736083953Because its fairer, a better game, not retarded dogshit etc etc
>>736083890no more tagslop for braindead americans.the genre is raped enough as is.
>>736083890I don't want RE engine mahvel.
>>736064267it's what pissed me off about the new ff game, i was hoping it would be less combozzz because most of the ff series wasn't really combo heavy, even when you include the magic series stuff in real bout, but now it just looks like a different version of modern kof combined with temu sf6 stufflike at least when they made a new samsho, they respected at least the part where it wasn't like combozzz for a good part of the series, even when you got to the games where there were combozzzbut fatal fury, mancan't wait until a new aof game is littered with more combozzz mechanics shit
>>736079026because sf actually gets players regardless of how many people shit on itsnk has to pay streamers to pretend to enjoy their games while nobody cares
>>736089152>despite how many people shit on it/v niggers arent people bro. these faggots are barely sentient.
>>736089248where does SF6 get praised?its not on youtube or twitter either. maybe your home board reddit still jerks it off, spic.
Can we just enjoy what we like without endlessly shitting on each other?
>>736084540
>>736084540>>736084738
>>736090281I like arena fighters?
Will I enjoy COTW if the only SNK games I've played are KoF games on GBA and KOF XIII? (I liked them all btw)
>>736090534The only Arena fighter I liked is Virtual On.
>>736091306isnt there a demo? pretty sure it is. dl it and try it out.
>>736091590Oratorio Tangram right? Of course it is. Nice taste.
I completely disregarded CotW when I saw it had no less than like 4 different meter mechanics, making my eyes glaze over.Am I missing out?
>>736084738Rational reaction to the average gief.
>>736092648>RationalHe got memed the fuck out with fake shit and gave up one round in
>>736072403I forget she even exists
>>736090413>monument to the guy who isn't even japanese what the hell
>>736080015I forgot Axl even existed in Strive
>>736089248and snk players are barely existent
>>736092364it has two meter mechanics that basically work like in SF6.I dont know if I can recommend it.
