I'LL CHISEL YOUR FIGHTING GAMES THREAD
>>736863282Why couldn’t something cool like The Boys (comic) have gotten a fighting game instead of Invincible

>>736863702>The Boys (comic)I've heard that nobody actually likes the comic because it's full on edgelord shit.
>>736864302>https://youtu.be/neLKuDGOQpM?si=CPApo691QXKUhtKS>https://youtu.be/WLFL_YQt_M8?si=OHeBU7Z5XFiAwKg4So fucking good.
>>736863282What gay porn game is this guy from?
>>736864542It’s definitely edgy but it’s also a good read overall. It’s pretty cool and enjoyable.
>>736863702Would you main Love Sausage?
>>736863702Ah yes, imma be a Jack main and instantly become a degenerate.
>>736864761Wonder what his command grab super would look like
>>736863282SNK Fans are genuinely the Fighting Game fanbase with the lowest standards and expectations for their company. Really, it's like they're afraid to have any standards nor expectations for them at all. Maybe they think SNK would go bankrupt a 2nd time but permanently if they dared to demand better from them. SNK routinely does the shit that's supremely stupid and amateur, and SNK fans bend over backwards to say how X thing actually doesn't matter, or just turn reality on it's head by saying how actually retarded thing they did is actually a good thing. They had to pretend how COTW completely bombing despite have more exposure/advertisement than any SNK game, and doing things like putting in a famous Football celeb is totally okay and doesn't mean anything at all.COTW is basically a complete failure on every level, and destroyed SNK's already low reputation. In visuals/presentation is still behind practically everyone else and comes off as cheap for the vast majority of people, the gameplay doesn't click with the vast majority at all, the entire roster except for the classic characters like Terry, Mai, and Geese isn't interesting at all to the majority, don't even need to mention the DJ and Ronaldo, the first online beta of the game was an absolute disaster which drove away many who've already experienced SNK's shitty track record with online, and much more. No-one relevant makes content for COTW but Justin Wong. Max Dood does sometimes, but mostly only when he needs to make a reaction video. SNK really just somehow made the most unappealing product imaginable. And instead of SNK fans shitting on them and demanding better, they cope about how the gameplay is literally the best thing ever made(like they do with every other modern SNK game that fails to capture anyone), and about how everyone just has a vendetta against the company.
>>736865137SNK fans don't like CotW, bro
Why aren't you making indie Blazblue anon? You want a new Blazblue or Blazblue-like, right? You aren't some fuckboy settling for less, right? Take accountability.
>>736865292Here comes the hotaru avatarfagging
>>736865292It’d just be blazblue except Terumi is top tier
How do I play against this character? She teleports all over the place and I can't react and then she uses her big sword to hit me from 3/4ths of the screen away and then I don't know what to do
>>736863702>The Boys (comic)>coolGarth Ennis is a fucking retard and so are you for liking his slop.
>>736865441Don't play UNISimple as
>>736865356I will never stop laughing at you retards crying about the state of your fighting games. It's so hilarious. You didn't do anything when the LGBT took over the FGC either. You guys love to just sit around take cock up your asses! >>736865424Sounds like fun bro. Show me your latest build.
>>736863702>(comic)lol
>>736865292>You want a new BlazblueNot really no. I'm quite happy with CF.
>>736865545brutal trvkeuni is just shit unbalanced game made for freaks
>>736865137Gameplay mentioned once (referring to Terry, Mai, and Geese as the only mechanically interesting characters)Ironically enough, the DJ and Ronaldo are more interesting gameplay-wise than all three of them. If that's your greatest gameplay critique then you're a secondary. It's a fine game with bullshit marketing.
>>736865545>>736865807I'm glad we're finally admitting uni is trash. Honestly its not that trash but they really need to reboot the series to have less bullshit
would you make marisa your wife if she asked?
>Diaphone mastered Jam in 2 hours >Everyone else is stuck in Gold what does diaphone got that we lack jamsisters
>>736866075from 2hu? yeah
>>736866075>implying she would ask >implying you wouldn’t wake up disoriented in her goon cave >implying your pelvis wouldn’t be grinded to dust And there’s nothing you could do able it
>>736865964Hell nah I’d rather not get it strived
>>736865921>Ironically enough, the DJ and Ronaldo are more interesting gameplay-wise than all three of them.Ronaldo working like some kind of weird version of Venom almost had me interested in the game, but I didn't like the beta enough
>>736865964Yeah, it would sell way more if they just got rid of some of the dumb bullshit, like the entire assault mechanic
>>736866246uni2 plays like strive rainbow edition
>>736866354If that were true it would be fun.
>>736866354Nah strive is its own rainbow edition if you get what I mean
just so you know if a few people here starts playing COTW start having lobbies and shit all of these niggers who hate COTW would then switch sides LMAO. ayoo they'll say that's not true BUT NIGGA LOOK AT STRIVE HAHAHAHAHAHA LMAOOOO
I can't comprehend the last sentence.
I like UNI!
you shouldn't pay attention to that guy
>>736866078From my time observing the fgc for awhile now some people are just born different. Justin, infiltration, sonicfox etc are just some names that come to mind
>>736866594I'll pray for you, bro.
>>736866078To be fair, he's pretty cracked on being a multi fighter player.
>>736865356Can I join too?
>>736866442meds and bbccotw only used to have /v/ lobbies durning 1st beta since everyone realized its shit
>>736866617Justin was taught by the best player before his era Eddie Lee. He isn't some Goku. He was taught by Goku. He's Gohan Infiltration and SonicFox are actually built different
I'm going to keep playing my favorite MMO. No need to get good at fighting games. All I need is my goon partners.
Anyone up for some Fightcade, Slippi, Melty, Soku or Blazblue?
Say something nice. not lewd.
raped genre
>>736865137SNK derangement syndrome
>>736867198Hope you're an honest and fun to play.
Borger
>>736866078diaphones biggest skill is he picks up characters and games really quickly, same with sonicfox. their problem is they stagnate really fast and get passed by other players who put more effort into it
>>736867102i'll play some vampire savior on fightcade, i set up fightcade ages ago but have never actually used it
>>736865441It would really fucking help if you said who you play
>>736866078I'm playing some Jams in Diamond 2 and they still do random Ryuujins just because they have burst (and then they immediately burst on my cS jump cancel)That, or trying to pressure with Choujin in blockstrings when I think you can just always 6P unless they somehow got a spacing trap?I haven't tried her yet but she seems incredibly good and potentially top tier
jam is going to get nerfed next patch
>>736867749For me lots of Jams so far are spamming ryuutsui, hyappo shinshou pressure and predictable choujin to gekirin. They still yolo ryuujin though.
why did snk have to sabotage this game so hard...
Jam literally saved Strive and it funny because I remember everyone hating her censored design but you dont see anyone complaining anymore haha
>>736864542The comic is fun but you have to go into it knowing that the author absolutely fucking despises superheroes, and that the setting is full of terrible people. If you're a big Superman or Spider-Man fan or whatever you're going to fucking hate it. Punisherfags would probably love it.
i thought people were exaggerating the trannies who dont play gg being the main community, but i checked the gg subreddit for strive resources and its just them fantasizing about bridget and unika being a couple
>>736868192I assume everyone already moved on. I don't like her Strive design but I haven't played Strive for a long time, so it doesn't concern me. Nor have I ever cared about Jam; I just liked her panties.
>>736868118>launching shitty online into covid lockdownsRIP
>>736868414>launched on stadia and the epic store
>Invincible's roster is mostly flying bricksMostly Ryan Ottley's fault for making the most important/strongest guys in the comic have that powerset, but there's plenty of cool looking characters they can add as DLC, even if they are barely important in the series. I'm hoping for Volcanikka myself.
>>736868118>>736868414No one would have played it even if it launched with rollback on PC day one. People just like to pretend that they play SNK titles outside of maybe emulating the old ones.
>>736868035Yeah fuck puffballThey nerfed the shit out of K Mappa previous patch, also nerfed Elphelt's Miss Charlotte to always be -4, so that both would be easier to punish (which wasn't even super necessary anyway)And then this bitch releases with an unpunishable -8 disjoint from a low-profile stance that pushes back to a range where most characters don't even have a normal that will hit anyway
>>736868520anon you're missing context, the only reason strive blew up like it did was because it was the only game with rollback during the early stages of covid. if samsho19 had rollback first it could have very easily been in that spot
>>736868461>Cinder but lame
>>736868586Nope. Strive also blew up because of the grafix. SamSho loos pretty cool but that's about it. Also, people simply will not touch SNK style games. End of story.
>>736868587>Cinder but hotfixed
>>736868670Strive succeeded for a number of reasons that both include graphics + online + nothing else released around the same time.Two statements can be true at once.DNF looked good but that didn't fucking save it.
>>736868118>Muh combo lengths>Muh cinematic supers>Muh braindead aggressive system mechanics>Muh footsiesI love how Samsho is the answer to every filtered retards complaints with FGs, yet none of those retards every bother playing it.
>>736866078It feels weird fighting gold players with better confirms, neutral and everything else better than me. I wonder if I’m just a scam artist.
>>736868118I don't care about modern SNK games in general but this game was pretty fun.
Playing the new guilty gear patch has made me realise how slow and crap street fighter 6 is
>>736868831No one who is actually complaining about some stupid shit is actually wanting to play the fighting game they want.In the end it boils down to wanting to turn fighting games into fucking beat em ups more often than not
>>736868807Yeah, that's what I meant with the "also":>grafix and actually working onlineor something to that effect. DNF is pretty funny: it's like Strive on steroids – and Strive is already Guilty Gear on (simplified) steroids.
>>736868831It doesn't matter when it botched its own launch. Online has been the primary way of playing fighting games for more than a decade at this point and they launched it with shitty delay based code and no crossplay. It was doomed to die from the start.
>>736866987Even then Justin is consistently adjusting to every new piece of bullshit new fgs throw at old heads. So I think he’s also built different
Samsho wasn't supported well. Doesn't have crossplay either. How the fuck you expect me to play it....
>>736868807Strive succeeded on graphics. That's it. I have one friend who bought Strive because he liked the graphics/style. He went on to never play it again after one session because he doesn't actually like fighting games, but that counts as a sale. Compared to Xrd it's a load of shit, but it launched with decent online and nice graphics.
You know what's crazy about samsho 2019? Is that the only best characters are guest characters particularly Hibiki and fucking Baiken.
>>736869060>In the end it boils down to wanting to turn fighting games into fucking beat em ups more often than notI have 80 hours in Injustice 2 and that's because of the armor customization system and the randomized "towers" arcade mode that drops armor boxes to grind for. Kitting out your characters with different skills/stats/cosmetics while leveling them up is fun. I got the game years after the online died and I still got my money's worth. All I'm asking for is a system like that in your $80 "premium" fighting game so I don't feel like I wasted my money when the steamcharts drop to sub 200 players.
>>736869356>one of my most played games on steam is Injustice 2>this is because I set a CPU character with an auto-clicker to play an infinite mode to grind XP or currency or some shit I don't even rememberGotta admit, NRS' shit ass implementations like this does get "play time" on steam charts.
>>736869158The good anons here who play Blazblue and UNI could easily be good at Strive, Granblue, SF6. What bothers them is instant gratification. It's like that episode with Vegeta and Trunk going Super Saiyan for the first time. Old head hate the fact that in modern games ther skill floor is reduced to zero
Will you actually buy invincible vs? I kinda want to but im sacred it will die in a month
>>736869486I doubt it. Different games require different skill sets
>>736866987>SonicFoxfraud that only plays baby games lmao?
>>736869465>MK11 and Injustice 2 AI grind battle simulatorWhat the fuck were they thinking???
>>736869495No, because:>$80>tag fighter>Omniman seems better animated, voiced, and generally represented in MK1
>>736869495If the singleplayer content (fuck you compfags i'll play what I want) especially the story mode is actually good, I might buy it.
>>736869650It gets them playtime and microtransactions which matters in shareholder meetings. They can go to WB and show "Mortal Kombat and Injustice get X amount of playtime and Y amount of money in currency transactions so you should give us Z amount of budget for the studio for the next year."
>>736869542the only time this is true is when the core game mechanics are changed in some way. 2D -> fully 3D, 1v1 fighter -> 3v3 fighter, ground fighter -> anime fighter. But luckily every Modern game is built the same so you don't have to worry about that stuff anymore
>>736869486I just think the new design isn't as interesting and I'm not even good at these games. I can still play newer games and enjoy them to an extent, but it does feel more like there's an active intent to remove things that aren't developer intended even if it's fun and not harmful. Like this, I can't do this combo anymore because they removed a momentum bug that doesn't really do much besides let the command grab super combo. And now the move is only a defensive option, there's absolutely no reason to risk using it offensively.
>>736865441Just block until she's forced to get in your face and take a risk. Anything more is going to be down to your character.
>>736869749>$80It's $50.
>>736863282KAISER
>fighting game dev shits out a patch that actually does what the community wants>straight up deletes a loathed mechanic>but it's for strive
INVINCIBLE VS IS $80?LMAO
>>736870684Steam says 50
oh my bad, not a bad price
Discuss
>>736870910NA/EU UNI players used to like KOF for a while.
>>736870910what is there to discuss, some random niggers opinion? I'm good bro. samefag yourself
>>736870910I play literally every FG that releasesIts just that most are fucking dogshit
>>736869553He only plays games at the start when people are figuring shit out, and the second his bullshit is identified he consistently drops out of brackets and gets ran off.Or he plays MK-esque games that no one else plays.
>>736868670if grafix mattered then xrd wouldve been big.
>>736868831yeah man everybody shouldve played it when it was literally unplayable online and not even available on most systems.
>>736869824Kek.
>>736872032Delay was the norm when it came outIt was on PS4 and X1
>>736871208A japanese nigger (translated through grok), that means his opinion has weight (if his opinion was actually translated successfully)
>>736871835Shit you would never figure out, mind you
>the norm>in 2019lelcapcom were putting rollback into their games in 2012
>>736863702sybau
>>736873323I have seen him flail around in Street Fighter.
>>736873416Ok? He’s still a prodigy at this genre
>>736873528lol
>>736873131Japanese don't win fighting game tournaments lmao
>>736873359Do you know what "norm" means retard?
>>736873416I think he played C.Viper a bit
postan my 2XKO wishlist again.
>>736873593No argument
>>736868863They're not confirming, they're mashing at the moment you're getting hit
Anyone up for some Fightcade or something?
tokon will be fun
I fucking hate the 'meta' of how fighting games go from: these are really cool and unique charcters and have all sorts of fun moves but 90% of them suck so stick to these handful of moves only
>>736873634by 2019 it was already in skullgirls, KI, Mortal Kombat, all capcom fighters including rom collections and Tekken.SNK and ASW being shit and behind the curve doesnt mean that it wasnt the norm by then.
>>736877002literally only a problem in Tekken.
>>736877063And Street FighterTekken is different since it has so many fucking options. SF pissed me off the most about it
>>736876769>Tokon will be [half of your entire monthly salary]fixed
>>736877178its absolutely not true in street fighter.
>>736870910There's a lot of crossover between UNI and KoF. Maybe it's different in Japan
>>736877471It really is, tho.
>>736877423your monthly salary is 140 bucks?
>>736877471NTA but SF6 definitely still has some useless specialsI know for sure nobody's using Aki's L/M Cruel Fate
I got Tekken king' for the first time but i'm actually shit? like I only play on special mode. I don't know what that says about the current state of the ranking system.
>>736868461Honestly after Thragg and Oliver the really relevant flying bricks will be all in so the rest will be more interesting stuff like Armstrong, the Maulers, Doc Seismic, Damian Darkblood, Tech Jacket etc. maybe even a joke character like Seance Dog or Donald would be neat
>>736877643I don't play Tekken 8 much but I think it's a pretty common opinion that the ranks are very inflated. The first three tiers or however many it is being impossible to demote in probably is a major culprit, but I don't know if there's more to it than that.
>Wanted to play Tekken>Poor and bad PCBruh...
>>736877952Cute boys!
>>736877952back left is a qt
>>736877952>average Strive tournament
>>736878238In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king
strive won
>>736879331who is playing for honor in 2026
>>736879331now post their rankings in the n word usage chart
and people say mk is a dead game, it has two games on there
Imagine a world where 2XKO was a platform fighter that focused on the roster more than a gimmicky 2v2 mode
>>736879331SF6 dies down so hard when the japs go to sleep
>>736879759MK always does well but it's played mostly by casuals who cry if they get zoned.
>>736876769i sure hope so!
>>736863702>The Boys(comic)>CoolOne of the worst things I've ever read. "satire" made by hacks who hate the genre they're writing for almost always are.
>>736879759people are pretty retarded when it comes to MK. it has a way way bigger playerbase on consoles too but because steam numbers is all we got and think they are perfect data.then they act surprised when it keeps outselling SF6.
>>736877643It says that Tekken 8 is for retards or retard encouragement and it's rank system is completely inflated and fucked both due to the players mass one and doning and due to the game not letting players lose rank points until yellow unlike previous games.t. last season Tekken god that got reset to kishin, didn't touch rank again until 4 days ago and then got to Tekken King in like 30 minutes.
>>736880060why is star lord on the spider-man team
>>736880060Who's on the bottom right?
>>736865292Make Makoto not bottom tier in CF and I'll be happy enough.Now post more Kotoyama girls.
>>736880103Which describes game journos perfectly
>>736880060you're missing your weird picks.the villain team is way too cool to be real
>>736868670If Grafix were all that mattered Xrd would have sold well with how much everyone gushed over it at the time.
>>736880161EXCELLENT QUESTION! NOBODY KNOWS!>>736880171of the Midnight Suns team, next to Wanda? Blade. if you mean the two characters further to the bottom right, that's Thanos and All Might from Hero Academia. i'm hoping they'll be DLC. ArcSys did a guest character for Granblue (2B) and Strive (Lucy Cyberpunk), so i'm crossing my fingers Tōkon's guest will be All Might.
>>736880171that's all might from my hero academiahe's like captain america if captain america could transfer his powers to someone else and go back to being wimpy steve rogers
>>736880241who would you suggest for our weird picks? couldn't we consider Danger and Tron Bon–i mean Peni Parker the weird picks?Wanda, Strange, and Magneto have all leaked. we only really have like 3 slots left to speculate. that's part of why i had to move Thanos and All Might to the DLC column. i don't wanna use our last 3 slots on characters like Spiral and Shuma-Gorath. ;-;
>>736880241ultron drags it down to realistic levels
>>736880561>i don't wanna use our last 3 slots on characters like Spiral and Shuma-Gorath. ;-;I do. Those are unironically two of my favorite mvc characters
>>736880060Replace Shartvel with Thor and She-Hulk with Wasp it would be perfect
>>736880951i really hope they don't add Wasp to the base roster. Star Lord is already the "flies around with double blasters" character. i don't think we need two of those. i'd be willing to swap She-Hulk for Thor or Hulk if i can keep Carol, though.>>736880654i respect that, but we're running out of seats, coach! nobody got excited about the last trailer. we need the next trailer to blow people away. maybe they would get excited about Shuma-Gorath on the Midnight Suns team with Ghost Rider. i don't know.
>>736880241oh, i do appreciate that you liked the villains team, though. i had Thanos on it originally but thought he'd make a better DLC character AND i had to extend my Venom cope somehow after he didn't make Spidey's team. lol
>>736881304isn't he more of an anti-hero now?
>>736877952mid right is best
>>736881452that's a man
>>736877952Are these fighting games femboys or randoms?
>>736881506doubt
>>736881429in main continuity, yeah, but Tōkon takes place in a brand new Marvel universe. so status quo stuff may not apply. same reason Magneto will probably be on the villains team despite him also being mostly a good guy now in main continuity.
>>736881452t. AGDQ enthusiast
>>736881651>despite him also being mostly a good guy now in main continuity.i don't read cape comics and have heard mostly quite bad things about them for the last 10 years so i didn't know that
>>736881651>>736881304well they're all cool villains ofc I like it lolthanos yeah he's 100% DLC material. however I fear that venom will also be DLC because he's super popular
>>736879331Brawlhalla CHADS how do we keep winning???
>>736864542This site pretends to because normalfags hate it. Its like that meme where the redditor hugs the beautiful woman so the 4channer goes and hugs the trash can instead
>>736882025>>736864542I don't hate the comic but when I was reading it I remember thinking "wow, the show is actually way better." I went into it expecting the exact opposite.
whats the counter play to mist finer?
>>736883793block it, use far slash and route into wild assau-oh...oh nvm
thoughts on umvc3 storm?
What is the most larped fighting game in 2026? I'm not really sure desu.
Invincible more like Unbuyable
>>736884774Strive probably considering the bridgets
>>736873416I remember he got absolutely gaped in SFV by Tokido because his Fang corner gimmicks only worked on shitters
>>736884774I think it's +R or Xrd still. Nothing against the games themselves, I'm very fond of both of them, but still.
>>736885005Nah I play +R
>>736885061I'm sure you do, but that doesn't mean everyone who praises it does, and there's plenty who'll talk it up.
>>736884774it will always be third strike, but centralfiction is giving it a run for its money
>>736885116I hear people say it’s larped a lot but honestly I don’t think I’ve seen many larpers, a lot of the people that I’ve seen praise it play it or have played it. I still think the bridget fans make strive have more larpers.
FG Status:SF6 - wins by doing nothing as usualStrive - Thiriving after people got over their autistic mad reactions their character got nerfed (they all did)Tekken 8 - I'm so fucking sorry manMK - MIA, might genuinely be fucked due to WB buyout bullshitGBVSR - Still here, got stuff coming but still no news of another full season is worrying still has best girlCOTW - still coasting on saudi moneyNen Impact - more like dead impactInvincible VS - Ragequit city2XKO - LMAOMarvel Tokon - will still sell millions and piss you off (you'll still play it)VF5 - is vibing until the next VFDOA - apperently not Dead on ArrivalAvatar - somehow not terribleMvCIII - gonna get rollback thanks to Max shelling out bounty cashBlazBlue - deader than 2XKOBrawlhalla - secretly the true king of Fighting gamesUNI - it's there.
is tekken 8 fun in friendlies or is it too terrible even for that?
>>736885312>BlazBlue - deader than 2XKOI honestly doubt it
>>736884934>>736885005>>736885167Hmm I always assumed it would be third strike probably? I feel like a lot of people do actually play CF. As for Xrd It's my favorite fighting game but I don't really think people larp it?
>>736885312>Marvel Tokon - will still sell millions and piss you off (you'll still play it)And still main my Rogue comp
>>736885532Third strike is pretty played itself though, it’s the most played on Fightcade and probably the most actively played sf online and in tournaments outside of the newest one
>>736885532kof 2002 and 98 are in that same tier as 3s as well honestly. i love all 3 games but they are peak larp tier. i fucking love kof 98 someone should run some sets with me on fightcade sometimes so i can press one button as chang the whole time
>>736885167I won't say Central Fiction is totally absent of that, but I think it lags behind a lot of its anime peers in that area. Central Fiction has pretty respectable numbers for a game of its age that's no longer supported, even better than UNI2 despite that being the newer game.>>736885223I think it's possible that Strive has more larpers overall, but I definitely think +R and Xrd have more in proportion to the total amount of fans of the game. If Strive has more it's just because Strive is more popular overall. Personally, I have a much easier time believing some Bridget tranny has played the game at least to some degree when they say they love the game than I do believing an Xrd fan or +R fan has played the game when I see them talk about how cool it is. It's just difficult to take them at face value when the games just don't have many players so seeing a disproportionate amount of people talking about it comes across as a lot of people who are all talk, and anecdotally, when I played Xrd often I would see the exact same people online all the time. It was not a big group, so it's hard for me to buy into the idea that a game that had such little variety of players I could actually see has such a great variety of proponents online. The same is true of +R but to a lesser degree, it's still small enough that I saw a lot of familiar faces when I went on, especially after the initial rollback excitement.People still do play these games, but I just find it very hard to believe that a modern, accessible and clearly popular game has more larpers than its much more niche predecessors. There isn't even as much reason to larp with Strive, +R and Xrd are natural magnets for people who want to appear elite by just saying they're into something without dedicating the time to it. I feel like the vast majority of the time you see someone larp about a fighting game, it's exactly that that's the motive, and Strive doesn't have that.
>>736884774>>736885005100% +R>>736885223it definently larped, not as much as people who larp playing fighting games just don't bother pretend to play anything and just go "new bad, old good" but if they do larp anything it's +R, it's old and niche enough where they seem cool and no one will bother checking, mainly because actual +R players online are fucking obnoxious about playing +R being their whole personality.
>>736885704See I think proportionately is where strive has more larpers. Even if it’s larped for a different reason, there are a lot more strive fans that don’t play that I’ve seen. I even saw one say that you still count as a strive fan even if you just watched the story mode on YouTube.
do you think CVS3 will bring back the groove system? if they do what do you think the grooves will be?>C grooveSF6 drive system>A grooveSF5 V system>P grooveIDK maybe SF4 but i doubt it>S grooveCOTW SPG system>N grooveKOF Max mode>K grooveSamurai shodown rage
>>736885704>I think it's possible that Strive has more larpers overallif you're talking about Bridget fans then they're not larpers, many do not even pretend they play the game, many probably doesn't even realize she is from a fighting game, Bridget online is throughly disconnected from her actual game counterpart they might as well be 2 completely different characters, online Bridget is an aesthetic and symbol, and sometimes some of the people that like it find out and check out the game shes from.Meanwhile +R is very much being larped because no one ever brings up +R unless they're larping, a genuine fan or that annoying dude that constantly talks about how it has the best lobbies, either way all 3 only really bring it up to shit on other games, mainly strive.
>>736885734But the old games are usually better than new games, that’s just how it is
>>736885919It’s different motives but it’s still larping, and strive definitely has more in that regard of having fans that don’t play it
>>736885867I've seen Strive fans who don't play say even more retarded things than that, but so what? I've also seen an Xrd fan claim that the reason Xrd doesn't have a lot of players is because of people playing on console as well as its bustling 'emulation scene', which is patently retarded. This is after Xrd got rollback only on PC. They both have larpers, and I'm sure you can find plenty more retarded things Bridgetfags have said, but the fact that Strive is actually measurably played in relatively large numbers and +R and Xrd are not make any dumb thing any individual Bridget-obsessed tranny not do much to tick the needle for me.
>>736885946right I forgot I'm on /v/, larp hq.
>>736885312>Strive - Thiriving after people got over their autistic mad reactions their character got nerfed (they all did)I don't wanna hear that shit when characters like Jack-O or Bedman got new options, or when Unika got a new anti-projectile tool and more ways to get HKD when this character already had theseI am also not going to be over Testament's changes until I can figure out a gameplan with the wack ass changes they gave usDizzy's got a cool fish tho
new games can't hold a candle to warpath, the jurassic park fighting game
>>736885312I am not over my autistic reaction to my character changing actually.
>>736886003I think you’re overestimating strive here. It’s the newest game in the series and doesn’t go above 2000 outside of update times, +R and Xrd usually get around 100 despite being older entries. And there are definitely more than 20x the number of bridget fans larping as strive players because it’s the trans rights game that owns the chuds than there are people larping as guilty gear players because it’s hard.
>>736885995I wouldn't call it larping because Bridget fans aren't actually trying to make people think they play Strive, +R larpers absolutely do and usually to seem cooler than they actually are, Bridget fans are happy with pretending she is a complete uwu softgirl for aesthetic reasons, or jerk off to her like how most 2B fans only care about the porn and not her game.
>>736886037Just telling it how it is>>736886159Those Bridget fans definitely do obsessively hate the guilty gear games and praise strive as the best fighting game, I think that counts as larping
>>736870910>no line from Garou back to KOF15
>>736886263>only 1300 hoursAnon chama...
>>7368861582000 is a lot for a fighting game. It's easily enough that when I see someone say they're a fan of Strive and play it, I can take the statement at face value. It's a lot harder to take that same statement at face value when you see a pretty abundant amount of praise for games that barely get 200 players on a good day, especially considering that, in my experience, a lot more people will claim to be a fan of a fighting game specifically so they can seem like an elite gamer than anyone does for the sake of any social issues. Not that the latter doesn't exist, but the former is a much more natural motive to latch on to a niche game.
>>736886308It’s probably more like 2000 but I only started 2 years ago or so and I played on an alt for a bit while I was learning because I was dumb and concerned about my winrate
>>736886263>Those Bridget fans definitely do obsessively hate the guilty gear games and praise strive as the best fighting gamesome might, but many genuinely do not give a fuck, like I said, bridget online is not actually seen as a guilty gear character, she's a trans symbol and mainly an aesthetic choice, or used in porn, most of her fans don't give a fuck about the games, they probably doesn't even know +R exists, and they don't care about being seen as some "cool" fighting game player.Meanwhile people who larp +R absolutely want to be seen as cool and contrarian without having to actually play anything.
>>736886340>2000 is a lot for a fighting gameYou’re not wrong, but it’s not as high above the guilty gear games as it sounds, especially considering they actually released quite a while before strive and aren’t the newest games in their series. And there are a massive amount of bridget fans who praise strive without playing it while hating on guilty gear, much more than there are guilty gear fans who don’t play their games, from what I’ve seen. I’ve definitely seen many more people falsely call +R larped than I have seen people actually larp about playing it, because like it or not it is actively played too.
>>736886263Post some gameplay if you have so many hours
>>736885312>BlazBlue - deader than 2XKOThe less meddled it is, the better. It getting Strive'd is a matter of when not if though because Arcsys did say they want to go back to it once official support for Strive is done.
>>736886451>some might, but many genuinely do not give a fuckThe majority of them will at least claim to play strive and praise it because they do know bridget is in both games and they see strive as their ally and a symbol of their identity while they see the guilty gear games as bigoted and masculine. That’s also why you keep seeing people in these threads say +R isn’t played despite it still being played over a decade later.
>>736885312>UNI - it's there.And that's enough for me.
>>736886125If it's Asuka, I didn't even play him that much and I'm still pissed, they really killed him in the most boring way possible where he's not even really a character anymoreIf it's HC or ABA, get fucked, that was deserved
>>736886589you sound like you're really mad they decided to play game anon, did a bridget fan deny or advances or something?
>>736886487This is the only one I have saved, sometime I should probably record more
>>736886703>deny or advancesYou sound like you're too angry to type properly, but no, I don't mind if someone likes strive because it's their funny brisket game or whatever, but I'm going to call a clown a clown when I see one saying something dumb.
>>736886486I didn't say +R isn't actively played, I actually said the opposite even, but it's also a game that is very heavily and widely played to a degree beyond what its small playerbase would indicate. Strive's player count also really is as much as it sounds, Xrd was not pulling numbers like that when it was the newest title, not even close. There's a number of reasons for why Strive has had that burst of popularity, but the fact is that it has, and it blows both +R and Xrd's peak player counts out of the water. Nobody's denying that there are plenty of Bridgetfags that don't play Strive, they're just not the be-all end-all of larpers. People latching onto a game because of a character they like isn't even new to Guilty Gear, before Bridget it was Baiken and Xrd 'fans' rightfully got dragged all the time for that too. There's no point in going in circles over this, I'll just say that I'm well aware there are plenty of Bridgetfags that don't play Strive, I'm just also aware there are plenty of Xrd fans and +R fans that don't play those games either, and considering the player counts, I have an easier time believing the average proponent of Strive actually plays it over the average proponent of +R or Xrd.
Strive 2.0.is crack but the matchmaking being fucked is so annoying. I hope they fix it soon. I want to grind my DR..
>>736886768>I don't mind if someone likes strive because it's their funny brisket game or whatever, butbut you are mad and call them larpers when they aren't larping, if they like bridget but don't pretend they play Strive they're not larping, and if they play Strive they aren't larping either.+R larpers don't play any GG, or at best Strive, so yes they are larping, it's that simple, or are you too offended at the idea of Bridget fans existing and people larp liking a game you like that you take it personal?
remember a few months ago when strive trannies were arguing that sol badguy is more iconic than scorpion from mortal kombat
>>736886798I think you're overestimating the amount of larpers +R has and underestimating the amount of larpers strive has. Personally I doubt strive will be carrying the same numbers 10 years from now. And again I truly do not see many larpers for +R compared to the bridgetfags praising strive and saying guilty gear is just posers.
>>736886684It is Asuka. I'll keep playing him though, his mana recharge is so useless now I don't even know if it's worth trying to use but I'm still trying to figure out some gameplan for him.One thing I'll say that I really don't like, though I have a lot of complaints about how they've handled him, is that they changed his staves as compensation for everything else, but there are a number of annoyances with them. The cancel window after summoning one is really awkward, I hate that you can't summon them in the air anymore, and the fact that you have to pay mana for the staff and you also need to pay for the cubes to make use of the staff is a really heavy ask when he's so poor in mana in general. If there's one thing that's become very clear as I've been losing more and more in ranked, it's that I just have to accept that I'm going to be running out of mana often.
>>736886924They do pretend they play strive in that they praise it as the best fighting game ever because it makes them feel valid, and those same larpers will obsessively attack the guilty gear games and their players because they see them as bigots and their enemies. Sure +R and every other game might have larpers too, but not on the level strive does even proportionately.
>>736886972>Personally I doubt strive will be carrying the same numbers 10 years from now.you're gonna be wrong, the game is popular, it's gonna have way more people that played it during its prime years than +R or Xrd had combined, it's gonna have a strong dedicated playerbase in 10 years.
>>736886972i think modern fighting games are hard to judge because in 10 years strive could still be getting updates
>>736887074Well, only time will tell, but I'm actually quite confident on this one.
YOOOO
>>736887059>They do pretend they play strive in that they praise it as the best fighting game ever because it makes them feel validyes and? who cares? why are you mad at this?>and those same larpers will obsessively attack the guilty gear games and their players because they see them as bigots and their enemies.my man they play the guilty gear games.>Sure +R and every other game might have larpers too, but not on the level strive does even proportionately.starting to think you really do just dislike Bridget players and saw one tweet from one saying they don't like +R and took it way too personally.
>>736887134Maybe I should have said 10 years after its final update, but you get the point.
>>736887178I don't really care, but this discussion was about which game has more larpers. And by guilty gear I obviously meant +R and Xrd. I do find the type of audience strive attracts, player or larper, is often pretty easy to dislike, but I'm just saying how it is. I see many more strive larpers, it's been a long time since I saw a guilty gear larper, any praise +R has gotten that I've seen has been from actual players, including names I recognize from quick match. So when I see trannies attacking the best fighting game in the genre and saying nobody plays it just because strive has trans stuff in it, I'm going to argue back.
>>736886972>saying guilty gear is just posers.That has been literally everyone aside from bridgetfags for the past 2 decades why would you in your strange mind think it is bridgetfags saying GG is for posers?
>>736887020Yeah I've seen people complaining about how awkward it is to do Spell>Staff in the back>Spell and how you often end up with the staff in the wrong spotAt least it seems like Mana Recharge lets you cast for free while it's active, but idk if that's even intended and you still end with jackshit mana at the endI think they should just have made consecutive spell casts cost more so that plain spamming is disencouraged instead of just nuking the character this way, and let him do his old recharges with something like 22S~P and 22S~KThis would mean if you dump a ton of spells, you're kind of cashing out because they don't have burst, or because you can close the round, which is a cool way to manage resources in the same way they changed wallbreaksI'm curious about how it's like playing in Test Case 2 and just abusing the jD instant overheads, I'll try checking it out this week but I don't think it's going to make for a very good playstyle
Oh wait it's the schizo that thinks anyone shit talking or slightly insulting +R and it's playerbase is a bridgetfan. Move along.
>>736887347>I don't really careyou clearly do.> but this discussion was about which game has more larpers.yes and see >>736886924 they're not larping.> I do find the type of audience strive attracts, player or larper, is often pretty easy to dislike,you care so hard and is so mad they exist lmao, truly thinskinned
>>736887209i think they're likely to have similar amounts, honestly. strive is a very easy game to pick up and play while still having more depth than most other modern fighters, it strikes a good balance. i think that opens it up to a lot of longevity even after its done being updated. plus strive has a lot of fans who are uniquely fans of strive and not other fighting games. (also, bridget will probably keep the game alive more than xrd or +r singlehandedly as much as i hate to admit it)
>>736887354Because if you look on twitter, which lord I would hope to not have to see fgc drama no matter how much I click not interested, every time you see someone saying strive is the best fighting game and that the old games are dead and bigoted, it's someone with the degen flags in xheir bio.
I still don't get the public's praise for Invincible, Project Hail Mary, and The Boys. The Boys is offensively bad, Invincible is mid and Mark is a HUGE retard (don't even say that's the point because he does and says some retarded shit that would make a fucking romcom protagonist blush). Same with Project Hail Mary, it was an okay movie but there's almost not much staying power for me there but people are praising it to high heavens and I'm like WHAT IS THERE HERE TO PRAISE?
>>736863702>>736865526>>736880103Was it Garth that wrote that awful comic run of the one where some parasite makes you into an angry rapist thing? There was one arc where the white protagonist goes to japan to save his jp queen and it was so fucking cringy.
>>736886158>doesn’t go above 2000 outside of update timesthose are just steam numbers, it has plenty of console players + crossplayxrd and +R are completely dead on console so the steam numbers probably 99%+ of the concurrent playerbase at any given time
>>736887421>>736887414I'm sorry if I offended you but they definitely are larping, and that's definitely the main group that obsessively denies and hates games like +R. I don't think it's thin skinned to dislike degenerate freaks, I don't see why you think everyone has to like them. Nasty people are nasty.
>>736887497>Was it Garth that wrote that awful comic run of the one where some parasite makes you into an angry rapist thing?if you mean Crossed then yes
why is theres some weird headcanon that strive players hate +r, they like the whole franchise lol
>>736887446the general public lag simply get excited to see super hero stuff with actual blood and death after Marvel have given them the most milquetoast superhero things for nearly 20 years, the more normie nerds are thinking they're ""deconstructions"" because they have never actually read a comic in their lives.
>>736887504See I should point out something else, back when tower was the only thing on strive, I did play at various hours in it too, and noticed the tower did not have nearly 1000 players in it unless an update had just came out.
>>736887560you're really not helping +R players image man
>>736887587They certainly don't. They want to pretend it doesn't exist.>>736887643I play the game and don't like degenerates. If you want +R to have the same image strive has, I'm gonna do my best to prove that wrong too.
the biggest larp game is marvel 2, the 2nd biggest larp game is marvel 3, the 3rd biggest larp game is tekken 5 dr
genuine schizo lmao
>>736887698>>736887560mentally ill
Kek +R really does have some fags assblasted and seething over it
>>736887698>They certainly don't. They want to pretend it doesn't exist.proof? also you posted this image like 500 times already and it means nothing
>>736887562Yeah. God that japan arc made me so mad because of how offensively bad it was. >>736887590Thank god Kick Ass never really did the comics plot in the movies because I remember that comic went full retard too.
>>736887741In a world fallen to degeneracy, if it makes me ill to stand by my morals, then so be it.>>736887769This very thread, and every strive bridget larper you would see online.
>>736887857thats not proof anon, i need some examples of strive players disowning +r en masse
i swear we have had this exact same argument in the past 4 fighting game threads complete with all the same images being posted
>>736887407I've been using Test Case 2 a bit but my strategy with is basically just to go all in without charging mana at all, seeing as it's easiest to get a hit in that case and if you get a hit then you can expend your spells during the combo and let the mana restore during the mana break. In general I feel like the thing you always need to be thinking about is what you're going to do once you get to the mana break seeing as it's inevitable. The auto-regen change is also fun, though with only one auto-regen card in the deck you definitely can't rely on it.I've mostly just been using Test Case 2 staffs in neutral seeing as it's quite nice to be able to get High-Pass on demand for characters who are in the air a lot, though unfortunately not being able to summon in the air makes carpet bombing with Low-Pass more awkward than before. I think it might not be the worst idea to cash out your mana with the Low-Pass staff seeing as it's the only staff you really benefit from without having cubes out, and you can go for his instant overheads then, but I haven't actually tried it out for myself.
>>736887857+R players retconned the +R version of bridget into a tranny so I'm not sure what reality you're posting from but it's not the one the rest of us live in
>>736864542>I've heard that nobody actually likes the comic because it's full on edgelord shit.The writer Garth Ennis hates capeshit and thinks he's above it, but he's also not a good writer so basically the only thing he can write is anti-capeshit and edgelord garbage. Imagine Watchmen but any nuance is just replaced with edgelord shock value that's The Boys basically.
Next Samsho/Killer instinct gamewhen
>>736887872It's not disowning as much as it is them only liking strive and wanting to say nobody plays the old games because they want both an excuse to play easier games and to hide the retcons.>>736887931>dustloopUnsurprising, you should see what game the owners like to prop up, it ain't +R.
Do people still hate D4vd?
>>736887817>Yeah. God that japan arc made me so mad because of how offensively bad it was.i haven't actually read it but i've heard it's even edgier than the boys, which is one of the edgiest things i've ever read that was actually printed and sold in stores>>736887946i liked Preacher
>>736887979>Killer instinctThe closest you're getting is Invincible vs
>>736887446I haven't seen Project Hail Mary, but I definitely feel there's been a spate of films recently people adorn with praise when the films are really not that remarkable. Sinners and Weapons are particularly egregious for it, but it really irked me with Mickey 17 because that movie was really shockingly bad considering the directors pedigree, and while it wasn't universally acclaimed, what praise I did see for it was so heavy I felt like I was going insane.
>>736865137I'm an SNK fan and I say the game sucks ass. People are always in these threads saying the gameplay is good but not saying why meanwhile I've posted a few dissertations on why it blows.KOFXV is okay but there's not much reason to play it over the classics, which I've gone back to.
>>736888074I haven't seen any of those but I feel this way about It Follows. It's a remarkably boring movie with some really good cinematography but little else going for it.
i haven't played much since people moved on to strive from xrd rev2, and people got bored of kyanta 2.
>>736887925Interesting, I was thinking more of using the staves as a neutral/oki toolThanks for the advice on mana
>>736868520It actually did have a surprising amount of traction before lockdowns thanks to disgruntled SF players who were looking for a real slow-paced methodical fighter during the SFV gorilla days. Offline being disappeared killed it though and SF6 made a good first impression so people won't leave it now no matter how much they complain
>>736887916Yeah that's because people don't know to simply not respond to schizos who make the exact same posts and the exact same arguments even if someone recognizes and calls them out on their insanity while suggesting to not feed them attention. And unfortunately GG has a large amount of schizos both actual players and nonplayers.
>>736887446The MCU became incredibly sanitized over years(not that it was ever that dark) so I think people are just glad to have a superhero story completely unapologetic about having lots of gore.The Boys is ENTIRELY carried on the back of Homelander and only the show writers think otherwise.
>>736888550>And unfortunately GG has a large amount of schizosnot sure if he shows his face on /v/ but in the /vg/ threads we have a ram player who spams replies to his own posts calling himself a worthless nigger like some kind of self-hating reverse-samefagit's been proven he's the one spamming hate at himself but he still insists it's not him and asks us why we bully him
i'm new to fgs (got into it through gbvs) and just picked up strive the other day, its my 2nd fg ever. i'm trying to learn how to play zato and i've already labbed some bnbs but i keep losing online and idk what i;m doing wrong, what should i be going for as zato??

>>736889023Yeah zato is one of the characters that need a lot more examples seen to get a handle on. Also look up negative edge if you don't know what what that is since zato requires that.

Figured I'd ask for advice, I'm playing Unika here. I'm not sure exactly what I need to do to get better. I know I DP too much, have bad burst habits, suck at converting and jump too often, just sorta stuck on how to start building up good habits.https://litter.catbox.moe/1ry1pc6d4949svgx.mp4
>>736889935all guilty gear players either fat asians or skinny white troons
>he's an oviraptor mainjust admit you don't know SHIT about fighting games
>>736890002It'd probably be more obvious where you need to improve in a match where you lose, but if you don't know how to defend against a certain character and have no idea when to press remember you can try deflect shield and YRC as well instead of always relying on DP. Also, you should probably get in the habit of using f.S and 5H more seeing as they're good buttons for Unika and the latter in particular can be very rewarding.Also her enhanced 236H is very good in general, but it seems to be your go to always when I think you'd probably rather use it when you're close to the opponent, like after a throw or knockdown. Kara cancelling her 214K can be very good and her enhanced 236K is safe as well. I think it's also worth considering just doing something into her standing S followup with no special afterwards, it's a good space for Unika to be at to try to catch the opponent trying to approach her.

>>736890409I don't know how to beat a lot of things in the game so my default plan has just been to look through gaps to DP. I also sorta got mindfucked out of using f.S since I don't know any f.S combos and people keep hitting me with 6P if I use it. I definitely find myself in the corner too often and when I get spooked out of using DP I just end up dying. I should probably learn a lot of the other stuff though, since the few other players I went against were more aggressive and were more willing to use the slide and overhead. I just feel too comfortable returning to neutral most of the time.
>>736890492>>736889935Guilty gear was always a trans game, strive haters lied to you buddy
>>736891704If you hit f.S midscreen just do f.S>5S>6K and then on the knockdown you can do 6H>kara6H. You can do the same in the corner but you can also do f.S>5S>kara6S for a full combo starter into wallbreak.
The Invincible fighting game is going to flop hard because it's doing the exact same shit that 2XKO did.Instead of making a casual friendly fighter to draw in fans of the IP they made some overly complex garbage, and the game isn't even F2P so it'll die even faster.
>>736891853Reminder that the 2XKO devs thought they DID make a causal friendly game.Western devs have no idea how to make casual fighters and actually think it's as simple as stapling one-button specials to a tagkuso, as if doing quarter circles is actually some insurmountable obstacle.
>>736891968>Western devs have no idea how to make casual fighters>He says when MK exists
>>736892110MK exists parallel to but distinct from the FGC. The guys who make those games are approaching things from a completely different angle and targeting a completely different audience.
>>736891718>bridget was always trans you BIGOTEvery time
>>736892183And to hammer that home, their approach at least finds particular success in their avenue.
>>736891038I don't play with poorfags
>>736892289Yeah, whatever you think about MK as a fighting game, it's always successful as a spectacle, and that's really what the audience wants from it.
>>736892350I just don't play modernslop.
>>736863282>I'LL CHISEL YOUR STATUE FOR FREE AND HAVE IT AT AN EXHIBIT FOR ALL TO SEE YOUR GLORY, BECAUSE I BECAME A KIND HEARTED MAN IN COTW WHO NOW DABBLES IN ART TO CALM MY SPIRITS NOW, ROCK HOWARD, YOU HAVE OPENED MY EYES TO THE GOODNESS THAT WAS ALWAYS THERE IN MY HEART THAT I TRIED TO DENY EXISTED
>>736891853>casual friendly fighterThat game is casual enough...
>>736887931Both Testament and Bridget are paying for their sins for being obnoxious characters through sissy bimbofication therapy.
>>736892523Why do they do this?With all the CotW bitching that goes on around here no one ever complains about how they removed the any stakes the story might have had by making every evil or even slightly edgy character a misunderstood altruist.
rivals 2 has been engoodened(i really like playing the casual mode now)
>>736893660Rivals of Aether 2?Isn't that furshit?
>>736893713everything i grew up with is furshit. i just don't really care one way or the other.
>>736893332Snk, or atleast modern snk, can't do stories for shit. Also even if GG has been the everyone gets redeemed series since Xrd ,or even before that, they at least can move shit forward in a way that even slightly matters like giving the two protags kids or grandkids.
Who's your main?
>>736893935Obvious choice
>>736894187Still arguably the greatest anime OP in the history of the medium with the exception maybe being Lupin with Bebop being close third.
>>736893831GG and Blazblue are probably the only fighting game story that moves forward and actually ends an arc properly with Sol and Ragna accomplished their goal.No, Mortal Kombat and SoulCalibur got infected by the reboot disease.No, including Melty, Granblue, Persona and fucking Dragon Ball is just cheating.Yes, UNI can be a potential.
>>736894791SNK was already doing arcs properly 30 years ago with shit like Fatal Fury and Art and Fighting.
>>736894791What the FUCK were they thinking with SC. Also like how you straight up either forgot or purposely didn't mention Tekken with the way that piece of shit is going.
>>736894791Guilty Gear didn't even really move forward it just cut out the entire path with retcons to reach the end where everyone is friends and nobody is bad.
>>736889935Digital Watches looked cool as fuck before trooning out, damn shame honestly. Hope he comes back to his senses before it's too late
>>736894892Fatal Fury and Art Of Fighting almost gets a pass but fuck me Andy and Mai hasn't even married yet not even Yuri and Robert. Atleast Kim has two kids. The villains still dissapointed because of the le good plot twist.KOF in the end is just a nonsensical crossover story though I do admit some of the character development were good like Iori losing his flames, Ash anti hero ish, Kensou and his hidden powers subplot which SNK somehow forgets about it, that hidden villain group led by Saiki, etc. The only con that worth saying about KOF story is Verse resurrecting everyone. Fuck that.Samurai Shodown and the last blade might be the only SNK fighters that actually develop the plot more especially Samsho since the 2019 game is a soft reboot and the overall story still ends with old man Haohmaru taking care of Shiki's daughter mikoto on that Samsho PS1 game.Heh. I guess kudos to SNK, French Bread and Arcsys.Also personally fuck Tekken. From 7 and 8 the story goes AWOL.Capcom fighters has a story?
>>736863282I miss Bloody Roar so much it's unreal /v/bros
>>736894791UNI's story is gatekept by being completely in JP and having no fight sequences in its VN mode.So few people actually care to read its story mode while a bunch of people say "i really like it but i can't find anyone to play it with" so it's in this weird paradox where a lot of its fans play it extremely casually yet also can't interface with its plot so you wonder what the hell they're even liking it "for".At least in my case I was so enamored with the complete lack of context during UNIEL that I jumped the fuck on the story mode come UNIST.2's story wraps a couple things up but there's still some minimal amount of sequel hooks but I don't practically see the story continuing a meaningfully beyond 2 at the moment. The potential story DLCs would logically focus on the time between 1 and 2 as well as canonizing the events of the 1st game.
>>7368664252 slimes before the time counter even goes below 99 always makes me kek
>>736894791Guilty Gear's problem is that it keeps going even after everything was wrapped up in Xrd. There's no motivation for these characters to fight each other. Just look at Testament. Character design aside, he went from a turbo edgelord to a chill guy that just wants to fish. There's no reason for him to be fighting and it makes you question why he's in the game at all.
>>736896119This is why stores in fighting games are a fucking mistake. Characters being unplayable because they died is also absolutely fucking retarded.
>>736895968nta but I ironically only watched uni's story and barely touched the game itself since I thought it'd be one of those 2deep4u stories that I thought I was supposed to care about due to the same people who made UNI worked on melty bloodlearned it was a waste of time but it was fun for what it is, although 9 years later I play UNI 2 regularly
>>736896223For the likes of Blazblue and Guilty Gear, make them alternate timelines.For Fatal Fury and others, make them Nightmares or include them but DON'T FORCE THEM INTO THE STORY.Simple as.
>>736896307Welcome to the 3% of uni players who read the story. The story isn't deep or complicated in the slightest, it's just things happening and events in the city being perceived by the cast.
>>736896119Guilty Gear got fucked because Daisuke decided he didn't like the original story. Everything was clearly going in a certain direction up until Overture where he decided to completely change things so the villain he spend a decade setting up isn't actually the bad guy and there is an even bigger bad guy actually responsible for everything. He continued that new storyline through Xrd. But then at Strive Daisuke once again decided that he didn't like the story so he just scrapped what he was doing and wrote "everyone was best friends and nobody was evil the end"Which is why we had That Man vs Sol being set up in Rev and then it literally never happens and why Ariels is somehow an evil robot that created Happy Chaos when he tried to stop her but also she was only evil because of Happy Chaos so when he got removed from her she stopped being evil.
>>736896404Works for me.
>>736896223Just make them immortal body hoppers
>>736896636kekThat works for me too, even if I remember people sperging out that he came back for 6
>>736896737I’m glad he did, I figured he would from the start cuz that’s always his thing anyway
>>736893935guyver
>>736896223Fighting game stories are told through intros, win quotes and character animations. They're unavoidable.
>>736894791Picrel still the most kino ending in a fighting game.
>>736897051Literally one of the worst character rosters of any fighting game in history.
>>736893935I need a Tatsunoko vs Capcom port like you wouldn't believe...
Ragna Za Burattoedgy?More like Ragna ZA LOLI-EDGYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNNGqcpL_AQ
>>736893935All Might, my FUARKING hero!
>>736897259This anime is laughably bad. Gen Z really did get stuck with the worst era for anime.
>>736896413yeah Uni's story is "who gives a shit" tier and is just an excuse to create a cast that are spiritual successors(and one returning) to the tsukihime cast and other chuuni urban fantasy media of the 2000's.I'm nostalgic for that era of anime so I love it for that.
>>736897329I liked Merkava’s ending. Imagine if he becomes playable as a human.
>>736897329I think some modicum of potential was there if they decided to have a "middle episode" before they just went "here's the prologue and here's the final act".>>736897446Would be boring compared to regular Merkava with 4 more arms.
>>736897573I think it could be cool depending on how they do it. Like Azrael or something where he just punches everything, no martial arts just raw human power. Could also have range with like air punches or something or be very mobile.
>>736897719>raw human powerI'm not seeing the vision of what's making human merk's concept interesting. Enkidu is already doing some of that gimmick you're describing because he's more human than in-birth.
>>736897719>Like Azrael or something where he just punches everything, no martial artsIsn't that Ogre?
>>736897819Yeah I was trying to think of a way to not make him just another Enkidu, maybe make him superarmor based, and like I said not have him be a martial arts user but just pure strength
>>736897823Isn’t Ogre the guy that puts the bomb in you? I was thinking like no real magical abilities or technique, just he’s very strong. Maybe more like Kouma, although Enkidu is similar to Kouma as a character on a surface level Kouma never trained in his life.
>>736897851Armoring through moves is also "kinda" covered by Tsurugi>>736897823Enkidu is the Azrael equivalent in this series, a bit moreso than Ogre since the latter isn't looking for a fight, he just wants to be near women. His theme name accurately reflect this.
>>736864542the fact that homelander is the main villain of the show indicates that they didn't actually really understand/care about the point of the comic where homelander is kind of a punk bitch who's a symptom of the greater problem that stillwell representsmaking the villains "less gross"/more entertaining falls into the war movie trap where all of your characters are talking about how war is awful but the movie is super excitingly paced and all of the combat sequences are badass and fun
>>736896418Ariels isn't a robot and she didn't create happy chaos he created her(batshit antagonist personality) by being inside her.
>>736898016>are talking about how war is awfuli don't really care about these kinds of messages, as if there aren't people (aside from those benefiting from such economically) who are against war already like it's not a common mentality of the normal voterand the politicians that get preached to through such a message? they don't care, the ones that want it are benefiting from it economicallycoughdickcheney
>catching up with Strive>take some time to read the patch notes>reach the May section
>>736897302i'm sorry you feel that way, anon. for me, it's the first shonen since Naruto that restored the feeling of living through that era. i hate that it didn't last longer because gen z has a microwave attention span and hurried the mangaka along instead of letting him world-build.
>>736898214i think people still idolize righteous violence and can be easily lead to support bad wars cuz of that but it's really besides the point, the point is that if you're making a movie where the point of the story is that war is bad but all of the content serves to make war entertaining and exciting with none of the crushing boredom breaking it up then it's a little bit self-defeating likewise if you make a story where part of the point is "the way we idolize power and celebrity is bad" turning the useless scumbag into a highly-entertaining and marketable main character is a bit self-defeating. it is a total joke that you have people unironically powerscaling homelander
>>736898459>where the point of the story is that war is badit's a message that falls on deaf earsit's like the message of don't do drugs, now how is that one working out? lol
>>736893332>how they removed the any stakes the story might have had by making every evil or even slightly edgy character a misunderstood altruist.Unless I misunderstood the endings, I don't think every character is good now.>Freeman is still out there murdering and kidnapping people>Kain was never really evil, even back in MotW he was all about just saving his sister.>Mr. Big is still a crime lord that's holding Rock's mom hostage and he fucking dies via suicide bombing>Geese is still a dickhead that has more fond memories of Billy than his own son. He does feel pride about Rock being strong, but still doesn't give a fuck about him beyond that.>Krauser is TBDThat being said, they probably made most of the endings so positive because we're probably never ever going to get another Fatal Fury game after this, so better to make sure that everyone's story gets properly wrapped up.
>>736899142Chonshu and Chonrei were evil and they both dead.Yamazaki is still around and still a psychopath.
>>736899142>Kain was never really evilActually he's still evil as fuck and wants to create his version of Utopia where South Town gets turned into a battlfield. It's just that his priorities in CotW lie in making sure his sister gets saved first before he moves forward with his plans. He has one of those EOST conversations with Rock that basically goes>K: "Hey Rock, this world is still fucked and only my vision will cure it.">R: "I agree that society is fucked, but I'm still going to beat your ass if you try anything.">K: "Try to stop me, fag."
