tekken was always the king of swaggy outfits
>>739787956achieveable fire natty?
>>739786447he cute
>>739787956I believe you'll find he's quite warm, actually.
Any active games on the switch/switch 2 preferably with crossplay? Kinda want to get back into grinding a game, it's been a minute. But all I play on these days is the ol tendie tablet.Probably going to pick smash back up too but I know>fighting game
>>739793491sf6 is on switch and is probably your best bet
>>739793491apparently the street fighter 6 port for the switch 2 has crossplay
>>739793491the ones i know are active are sf30th, mk11 and mk legacy, sf and mk11 doesn't have crossplay though, mk legacy does.the rest are discord fighters, i do know people still play blazblue centralfiction and the capcom fighting collection games on discord (blazblue has delay netcode though).
>>739793646does sf6 really not have crossplay on switch?
>>739792280kekThese things are like the tracksuits in V, except somehow even worse.
>>739793549>>739793601I completely forgot they put that on the s2. Will check it out, cheers.>>739793646Thanks for the recs, I'll look into those too. Could go for Blazblue desu.
>>739793698mai is somehow insanely sexy in hers
>>739793693it does have crossplayforgot gg strive is on switch, has rollback but no crossplay, no idea if people play there though.
>>739793742Pics?
I dont get why my crouch punch cancel into that one special move does not work reliablySometimes the input that whiffs is the exact same as the ones that work
>>739793810her boobs jiggle like crazy under the shirt
>>739793870wew
>>739793870Sounds nice.Once again Mai being the one good thing in this game.
>>739787956Pyron looks weird when they give him a nose and a mouth
>>739793698Red suit is actually sick on Ken (his only good skin)
>>739793698Esports fits have ironic appeal.
>>739794132It's kinda like his SFV costume but without the JUST face and hairstyle
>>739786447that outfit goes hard
>>739786447He looks REALLY uncomfortable in that suit.
How are we liking Ingrid?
How are we liking Kuni?
>>739795024I guess Ingrid won against Robert Garcia and Kunimitsu II.
How are we liking Robert?
>>739788853kinda miss when this normal instantly killed you for low poking against it so you were incentivized to play a whiff punish game against slayers that relied a bunch on it
>>739795024Her animations are so cute.I wish I was her
>>739795024>>739795236>>739795286EVERYONE WON
>>739786447Looks like a Dick Tracy villain.
>>739786447Kewl
Cammy's best costume The best she has ever looked
>>739791015Hit the gym for 6 months then pour gasoline on yourself and light a match and you should be good to go.
How come there's no report option for generals?
>>739797037You are a gigantic faggot
Go shill your garbage somewhere else.
>>739793870I just wanted to play some matches boss...
>N-N-NO! STOP talking about videogames!You are an insufferable faggot and I pity the people who actually have to interact with you face to face.
>>739794120TBF, even within his spriteset he randomly changes between faceless and not.
>>739797131>>739797281You are not here to play games. Just necrobump and shill your garbage on what's basically a dead board thanks to spergs and autistic huge fucking losers mentally ill retards like (you)Nothing interesting get's posted anymore cause you screech at games are are not sf6 or whatever you delusional brain says it's acceptable.So where's the /vg/ report option, go back to your mentally ill shithole.
>>739797356Seethe
>>739797356>reddit spacingkys
>>739797460People like you killed the site. Now remain here and necrobump it all on your own talking to the same 2-3 faggots. Complete failure.
>>739797460>>739797490>zoomtardsThe reason why the site is dead and buried btw.Keep acting like bots. Keep necrombumpingI await until the day your parents die and you commit suicide. And i will have the biggest shit eating grin that you can possibly imagine. Absolute failure of a generation.
>>739797537You're so cute when you get all worked up like that.
>>739797537OK zoomie
>IS THAT SOMEONE TALKING ABOUT VIDEO GAMES ON /v/???!!!?!?!?!>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SAVE ME MOOT!!!!
I'd rather have multiple fighting game threads than gacha threads.
how do you do delayed pressure if most of your attacks are minus
>>739792178>>739797517Arcsys harem
>>739787454>numpad notation in SF
>>739793818It's probably your timing because those are some slow quarter circles
>>739792178I like his fighting style but thats about it, I think he's lame
>>739797663Who's Someone? Site is deader than ever. You guys are fucking repulsive and eventually made others go away. 4chan and the fighting community are both dead.
>>739795024Don't like her as much as I thought I would but she's still fun.
>people discussing video games on the video game board killed 4channo, unchecked schizoposting and spam killed this site
>>739798156Negative, zoomers and normalfags killed the site. SF6 shills killed fightan.Hope that helps
>>739798074
>>739797847>sf fags when they are the ones who have to follow trends
>>739797517guilty gear will never be this based again. just look at what they did to Jam
Could a Variable Geo reboot work if it was done in 2d with Kimura's artstyle, or is the modern fighting community to prudish for something like that?
>>739798953Peak Ken
>>739799083>>739799140You could but it's not gonna be a hentai anymore.
>>739798953>>739799173Reminds me of a joke about the world coming to an end and Ken players trying to avoid extinction by spamming DPs hoping to be saved by the i frames.
>>739799140There's no japanese loving demographic in 2026, zoomers are too prudish to play a japanese game made for the japanese people, they are also extremely fucking retarded and can't play with actual inputs so that's out of the question. But more importantly, modern companies don't have artists anymore. I would kill for another Murata art/design fighting game.Hey buy another ingrid costume retard.
AHOHO
>>739798847I already gave up on strive years agowish I knew nipponese so I could send a hate letter to daisuke
Om nom nom
>>739800414Jam has a VERY fuckable face to be fair.
>>739800047Asuka is not only not stupid but she's like the only person who isn't stupid in her universe
>>739792316Kek
>>739797356Kekypoo
>>739800970She really is surrounded by idiots, isn't she?
>>739786447lol
>>739800414Jamming my disappointment
>>739792178>>739797517I think only Kagura actually fucks his girls.
>World Tour is needed to play random avatar matchDammit Capcom the mode is already part of battle hub and fighting ground why force it to world tour too I need to save space.
>>739793451Hakucool
seriously, the jiggle makes me crazy ^^
>>739795024Unique in someway. Good setplay especially with level 2, zoning hell, weird dp, big ass combos and felt cancerous to fight with unless an Ingrid player didn't do zoning playstyle with her.>>739795236Kinda the same as Tekken 7 but less "broken". Good ass wall travel, combo damage potential is subpar, good punish, good pokes and her heat is decent.>>739795286Cool character and really technical. Good amount of tools like he has everything, weird counter stance but ok and the fucking dragon burst is awesome.
>>739805161Timeless character design
>>739805161I like t shirts on women
reynald kinda...
>>739786447>tuffestWhat?
>>739805161We need her infinitely superior sister.
>>739805985the coolest outfits
>>739805161bitch has no drip LOL
>>739806060So why not just say that? I know language evolves but why are we arbitrarily coming up with new words for meanings we already have perfectly suitable words for? What meaning does tuff convey that cool doesn't?
>>739786447looks 1000x better than uriens retarded shrinkwrapped suit from vgod i hope they add him to dix just for the glowup
>>739805161should they have gone with this design?
>>739806174Skintight suit was great though
>>739786447Soon
>>739806174leave actual sf chars outta dix pls ask for scrimbs like tifa and ingrid
>>739806283you don't even know what a scrimb is to say such a thing, stop stealing terms you saw in a smash thread and then using them wrong
>>739806283Urien and Gill were made for KAMI6 though
>>739805161Based.
>>739806283You asked for it
>>739806247nah it looked like asscheeksmy man urien wouldnt wear such an ill fitting (and ugly) suit
>>739806340Sorry broheim, but you're objectively wrong.
>>739806340Yeah you could remove itjust another feature that disappeared with dix
>>739793870>>739804941Someone make a webm, please, sirs.
>>739806378youre objectively gay
>>739806325There ain't nothing Kami about Dix lmao
>>739806325>every left/right reduced to block button or no block button>every aegis setup finna be a throw onewould be even gayer than sagats rework into a jinrai bot
>>739806440Yeah, I play Urien afterall.
>tfw too retarded to play zoners and set play
Vega, Sakura, Mika would be such a good season I could forgive them including a guest character with it.
>>739807076i've been thinking that its gonna be a 6 character season because there were two leaks>gouken>haggar>vega>tifaand>mika>sakura>vega>tifaif you combine both of them its 6 characters, and now with no world tour and a possible ssf6 upcoming...?
cute hag
>>739807237Nah, clearly leakers had some confusion because Gouken and Sakura are both shotos and Haggar and Mika are both grapplers. Maybe some leaks were fed wrong info intentionally or something but we aren't getting all four of those in the same season.Assuming one of them is real I'm leaning towards Sakura and Mika. Obviously way more popular, especially Sakura, than Gouken and Haggar, we've had previous rumors mentioning Mika the past couple years, and it fits a "beauty" theme with Vega and Tifa.
>>739806557name ONE (1) thing gay about playing a 7ft bronze greek god in a diaper
>>739807339playing a 7ft bronze greek god in a diaper
there is no sf character gayer than ed
>>739799206It already got non-ero revisions to be fair
>>739806130i thought it sounded funnier
>>739793698its bec of the saudis that cant bear to look at womens bare skin
>>739806195Sure, her Mahoyo clothes fits better for a fighting game look.Same goes with the rest of the roster if they were given their other outfits instead. The only one that would get downgraded is Arcueid because none of her other outfits are good replacements for the granny skirt.
>>739808170I'm really hoping they shift Shiki to his jacket in Twilumina and then put Nanaya into the school uniform. I'd normally think there's no possible chance because of all the wasted assets but they actually created a version of several of his sprites in his jacket for one of the boss rush modes bafflingly.
>>739806331>>739806552OBSCURED TUFFS
>>739786447I really like Lei Cop outfit. Looks dope
>>739807238sexo
>>739800414>>739802163Wabbit
You guys are remedial
>>739806265Hopefully it's Robo Ky Isuka.
>>739795386No fuck off, Slayers would mash that shit in pressure 24/7 and kill you for staggering with low-hitting moves, it was stupid
>>739811791and you are $200k+ in debt and a bum
>>739811791PULL UP AND CATCH THE FADE But seriously what does remedial even mean
>>739812542There's no way it's not him, his face looks different from the Robo-Ky tagging along VenomIf it's him, I hope they let him copy other character's moves like he does in Isuka
>>739786447Rivals 2 skins are either peak or rejected League of Legends skins, with no in-between
Nothing tougher than a dinosaur.
>Alex has vocal theme>Ingrid has vocal theme>Trend incomingHopefully it's just the two of them.
>>739813717Every character in season 4 is going to have vocal themes by guest artists
>>739813634Also, I like (most of) the spooky skins you get for grinding characters
>>739809313Sure is
>>739795442Balanced
>>739813523Remedial is dales slang for simplified or easy or babyfood
>>739795024Very much a DLC characterNever liked her reddit personality.That theme music goes hard
>>739795024Good>>739795236Somewhat good>>739795286Surprisingly good
>>739797537ts nigga got reaction time checked by a zoomer geg
>>739805161Absolute perfection.
For me it's Chris from KOF. He's cute as a button, but he's got a darkside! Watch out for this one.
Fighting games are simultaneously more alive than they've ever been but also more dead than they've ever been because only SF6 is doing well
>>739817954GG, Under Night and even VF have never been that popular in the west, ever
>>739818050Yeah but at no point in time was there ever this big of a gap + no new game can even find footing for more than a month Also unlike ~10 years ago there is every incentive for content creators and top players to not even bother with smaller games because of financial incentives that didnt exist before
>>739806552I'm a big fan of the designs in groove on fight, I wish fightcade would add it to it's library.
>>739817954Plus R is doing pretty good
Look at this suave motherfucker
>>739818443>pretty good
>>739818050Nigga kamone said underbed was literaly franchise made for americans
Zangief was dumpster tier in SFV but his Macho Man costume was top tier
>>739818527Yeah that's what I said, easy to get games and has constant tournaments.
>>739818625And how many new players does it have?>Constant tournamentsYeah populated by the same people who have been playing the game for 20 yearsIf you didn't get into XX decades ago it's too late to enjoy it
>>739818548>Arcade exclusive launch release>Was released in Japan for months before it even got ported>Even after that they kept the updated version in JP arcades before porting it, basically a year long waityeah fuck off
>>739818753I got into it about 2 or 3 years ago and I never stopped. That was pretty much my first fg too. You just gotta be a man.
>>739818527It is crazy to see just how much more popular SF6 is than everything else in the genre.
>>739818527Don't let that player count fool you. You can boot up the game and find a match in seconds, and very often before the current gen fighters could reach the main menu on release when theh took forever to boot up. +R is gold standard for what an online fighting game should play like
>>739818527Reminder for /v/ not to listen to fags like >>739819003Yeah, you can get matched up in seconds, but the guy you will be matched up with is going to be some dude with 4000 matches under his belt and you're going to get dogwalked. That's the only people left playing fighting games with less than a thousand concurrent players.
>>739792280Holy kek
>>739793491SF6 and Virtua Fighter 5 REVO all have cross play, good connection both btw.Strive is a Switch 1 game and they haven't updated to the latest patch, so I doubt it.
>>739819169trvke
>>739817573I wish I was him... and that Shermie would sit on my face.
>>739786447i'd rather post fighting game feet
>>739819454
>>739806847>Wanna play an unga rushdown character to mix things up every now and again>Bad at dashblocking so I always run into shit>>739818792>Even after that they kept the updated version in JP arcades before porting it, basically a year long waitSpeaking of JP arcade ports, I love having a Round 1 at my local mall but I'd eat up a home port of En-Eins
>>739819454>her unique school uniform outfit has dark blue pantsu >just like all the fucking skirts in the customization optionsI am so fucking tired of thisWHITE is the default color for pantsu, not dark blue. Bamco knows this because that's how Soul Calibur is, so what the fuck is this?
>>739819169good
>>739819354I am so mad barely anyone plays VF 5 in any console. It completely mogs Street Fighter in both animation and gameplay.
>>739819673Just... just compare with Tekken man. 2D fighters had a reason to have hitstop animations and 2D quirks.
>>739819590those are spats
>>739819673i get matches on revo just fineive even encounter a few tendies on it and im on pc
>>739818753>>739819169FYI, the noobs play during the weekends when they're off work or school. You'd be surprised how many low level players play +R and Fightcade.
>>739819769That's... better? I thinkCan you change the color in customization mode?
When is Konami throwing their hat back into the fightan ring? When's Bloody Roar coming back? When's Vanquish Soul
>>739819940As long they bring back Eighting as the developer despite Nen Impact, Im down.
>>739819940SF6's dominance of the genre means youd have to be literally retarded to try and get into Fighting games as s company rnQuite literally every game that comes out flops
>>739820051>Quite literally every game that comes out flopsFuck off dixxer
>>739820051>Having no competition is betterRetard
>>739819003It's not that bad, you can find scrubs easily, but it's also not that good+R still has the better lobby system over Xrd or BBCF, but it's worse than a populated game with an actual matchmaking system
>>739820051thisI was considering getting that Avatar game for example, but it's just gonna die in a few weeks like every other fighting game that's come out this year so why bother
>>739820051Tokon probably won't die immediately, but that's pretty much your only other option than SF6, and who knows how long the game will actually last for considering it's mahvel tagslop
>>739820216>>739820152I'm solely talking about it from the company perspective.Of course it's good for players to have lots of games coming out.The problem is that as the person signing off on the games being made why is the person in charge not just saying "This is retarded, we cannot compete with SF and it's a waste of money to even make this game"
>>739786447Serious stuff>DMCReboot happens>The entire DMC community stands against it >StreetFighterxTekeen on disk DLC and Gems happens>The entire community stands against it & shills can't defend it>MvCI happens>The entire community stands against it & shills can't defend it>Street Fighter V happens.... >WIPE EVERYONE'S MEMORY OF SFV 1.0 THAT NEVER HAPPENED!!!>MAKE THEM ONLY REMEMBER THE END OF SFV's service So we all agree that DMC, MvC, and even tourist are the most based Capcom enjoyers. But SFfags will suck and chew on that Capcock until death right? I mean can someone explain to me in full depth how SFV manage to survive in the state it was in, please? 1.0 SFV was- poor graphic fidelity - poor netcode functionality- lack of any offline modes- story was PATCHED in - small roster Basically SFV was KOFXII but somehow instead of no buying the game all the Capcom fans went "HOLD THE LINE!!! KEEP SUCKING THAT COCK!!!! WE MUST HOLD THE LINE AND SUCK THAT COCK!!! CAPCOM WILL REWARD US... I JUST KNOW IT!!" And because of THAT now we are here, correct? Because (You) sucked on that cock we made it to Ingrid.
>>739820432best example of this is 2XKOIf you think Riot spend 10+ years developing 2XKO to be happy about being like the 5th or 6th biggest fighting game right now you are retarded. They are probably malding every day in their corporate offices and fucking hate everyone who told them that making that shit a tag fighter was a good move for the game
>>739820152>Quite literally every game that comes out flopsWhat fighting game since the release of SF6 hasn't flopped? Even MK, which is the biggest normalfag magnet out there couldn't do enough to keep getting support.
>Game comes out>Nobody plays it>10 years later some content creator plays it randomly >suddenly everyone notice the game >the director was forced out the company due to that game fopping>we can never get another one 10 years too late.
>>739820517Tekken 8City of the Wolves has infinite money so it will continue to get support for years too but that's a special case I guess.
>>739820432>>739820509Uhh sub genre exists for a reason?
>>739820716>Tekken 8By Tekken standards, it has flopped horribly. Doesn't have anywhere near the sales or even rep (which isn't high anyways) of T7.>City of the WolvesArguably the biggest modern fighting flop. Just because Saudis keep funding updates that nobody plays doesn't mean the game didn't flop horribly.
>>739820778Dev costs for games go up every year. Eventually it is not sustainable if only 500 people are going to play your game especially when some corporate suit sees that the actually successful game in the genre is getting 70k+So your options are1. Try and replicate what only a single game in the genre is gettingor2. Release a complete flop that doesn't even get 1/100th of your target's success
What do you niggers even like about fighting games? I swear none of you actually like the fighting game aspects of fighting games. You're nothing more than a bunch of fomo niggers being baited into buying a product you have zero interest in and then you just ended up here. And the old boomer niggers who know modern games aren't for them simply can't quit the genre because they invested their life into it. Prove me wrong.
If Strive goes beyond season 5, If Granblue have a season 3, If COTW have 5 seasons, If UNI2 have more characters, If Twi Lumina have more characters, or If any new fighters gets more content the next year and so on, I better not see any of you questioning how the fuck those games are still ongoing.
>>739821134The story and characters.
>>739821134>What do you niggers even like about fighting games?I like playing against people.Something you can't do when a fighting game is dead.Unfortunately, there's only 3 fighting games at a time that aren't dead, and even then, only 1 of them has an actually sizable playerbase that ensures you won't just be getting matched up with the same people over and over.
>>739821387>there's only 3 fighting games at a time that aren't dead, and even then, only 1 of them has an actually sizable playerbase that ensures you won't just be getting matched up with the same people over and over.Fuck off zoomie
>>739821302So you're a fomo nigger who got baited. I specifically asked what part of the fighting game do you like and your answer is "I'm a gooner" but do try to move the goalpost because we all know Japanese fighting games have the worse story presentation imaginable.
>>739821441I can fuck off, but that's still doesn't change that what I said is true.
>>739819169There's a lot of new players during the day or weekends. I get it doesn't have many trannies playing it but I see that as a good thing. You can play strive if you absolutely need those.
>>739821473I'm a little confused because I don't really want to goon to my characters. Weird seethe tho.
>>739821492Whatever you say zoomie
I wonder why community tourneys exists. Hmmmm...
>>739786447>>739789885alt outfits that are just regular-ass clothes >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>739821547show us one replay of you fighting game with the date of that replay being from this month. I'll wait
>>739806130conveys tuffness
>>739821573>Beyblade in EVO>No Yugiohfuck bros should I drop ygo? Magnificent Monsters drop pmo and Beyblade seems relatively fun to get into.
>>739821559Avatarfagging with pictures of that character and making the most abhorrent, dogshit posts imaginable is that guy's shtick, I strongly advise you to not engage. Ever.
>>739821573That's a lot of dead fighting games.
>>739821387Do you not have friends? Do you not go to tournaments? You're just a casual if you're complaint is "the online player count is low"
I haven't played SF6 since launch, and my rank is still like Platinum or whatever lmao. I think if I ever jumped back into this game I will get raped by all the "real" platinum rankers. I don't even remember Ryu's BnB combos anymore.I wish the DLC characters were cheaper, i think those are the two main reasons for not coming back. I dont want to get assraped online, and the new characters are too expensive.
>>739821635With pleasure.>>739818443
>>739818993Is there any other genre where there's only one popular game while everything else fails?
>>739821727It doesn't even matter anymore.The word expensive is obsolete, people are still finding the money to pay for things even if they can't afford it. We need a new word to describe the kind of scamming going on today.
>>739821763there's a popular fighting game? I dont see it on the top 10.
>>739821134I like the idea of being good
>>739821803For once, saucy you are not a faggot.
>>739821573>Show up and get cooked by some nigger who has been playing this shit non stop for 30 yearsno thanks
>>739821725Imagine paying for airfare + entry fee just to show up and go 0-2 or 1-2 or even 2-2 in bracket.Literally $800-1000 to have a worse experience than just staying home and watching the shit on stream and getting more matches in online.Tournaments are a fucking waste of time and a scam used to fill the wallets of top players
>>739821937Retard
>>739821727You can get the character passes cheaper if you buy the keys from resellers (at least on PC), but yeah it's pretty expensive. No excuse to not be able to buy each DLC character individually.
>>739821725>Do you not go to tournaments?Why do I have to go to tournaments to play a video game? Aren't fighting games made so that you can enjoy them at home via online play?
>>739821387>>739819169>>739821885Nta but I'm actually kind of surprised you can type this kind of stuff out. Like I'd be embarrassed to say that I avoid things out of fear of fighting someone good. Are men a dying breed?
>>739821937I just drive to tournaments bros. What are you some indian? aren't there big Indian fighting game events happening right now? didn't your king buy EVO?
>>739822008>no excuseim not a fucking goycattle semen slurping modern fighting game fan?SF6 was like a 8/10, I think about going back to it from time to time. But then I think about how gay it is with all its stupid green drive rush shit and realize Super Turbo and Third Strike are still there on fightcade any time I want, and I don't have to pay money to play every character.
>>739822089Getting bodied over and over by someone way above your own skill level isn't fun.
can anybody explain why Fighting games have become so anime now? Even SF and Tekken is full of anime particle effects and ugly bullshit all over the screen, its like weebs completely ruined the FGC with their awful taste. I hope the new VF is good.
>>739822089>Show up and pay entry fee to just get raped over and over again in some game barely anyone plays anymore therefore it's almost impossible to actually improve at it because there is nobody at your skill level to grind up against
>>739822214It's fun to improve and then fight those same people on even grounds or even surpass them. That's what being a man is about, overcoming things and rising gloriously. Again, I'm shocked you admit this openly instead of making up an excuse like you lost your fingers. I can't imagine having such a lack of dignity and pride.
>>739822331what you're describing isn't anime, it's for the zoomers and spectators who can't understand that something important is happening unless you do closeup cutsin slowmo shit
>>739822402>It's fun to improveYou don't improve by getting bodied by a player way above your skill level.
>>739822331
>>739822473You do, in fact that's the best way to improve, as long as you're actually trying different things during it and trying to learn.>>739822393I mostly play online but 3s and +R have plenty of new players, especially 3s because there are always brand new players on there to the point I often swapped to side characters because they were new to the whole genre
>>739822563>install gentoo
>>739821885So you're saying you suck at fighting games. And you have no resume to indicate that you are nice in any game. A literal shitter
>>739821134I like the characters and I like a competitive 1v1 game because there's no dumb team mates to blame for losses, and my approach to the game can be as serious or as relaxed as I want without worrying about other people. I like the fundamental aspects of real martial arts that translate to fighting games: spacing, movement, timing, reading and understanding opponent patterns.
>>739822579>You do, in fact that's the best way to improveThe best way to improve is playing against someone at a similar level.
>>739822579>You do, in fact that's the best way to improve, as long as you're actually trying different things during it and trying to learn.When the other guy is so far ahead of you that you die before that even happens you will learn nothing.I remember watching the MB:TL tournament at combo breaker and one of the first matches was some dude getting quad perfected - what did he learn exactly?
>>739822473(You) don't, clearly
>>739822473You're so wrong, that's the only way to improve. You just can't mindlessly get owned by a good player though. You have to think about what he's punishing and why you keep doing punishable moves at the wrong times, and why you aren't punishing his punishable moves. Its all just frame data and skill checks. once you learn those you can actually play a real strategic fighting game match against a good player
>>739822710I disagree, but it's more than possible to get matches with people of similar skill levels in 3s, +R, CF, and so on. Even if you do need that.>>739822724I didn't watch it, but you usually need more than just 2 matches.
Based +R posters.
>>739822748>>739822579More people who have fallen for the "You can improve at fighting games too" memeEveryone gets tricked into thinking that they're just a temporarily embarrassed top player when in reality everyone that is good at this genre simply has the gene for it and were born that wayEven someone that'd be considered a middling top player like Diaphone picks up a new game and is better than most of the retards who have played it for a decade+ within a week
>>739822748the problem with only playing people at your skill level or slightly higher is you will *never* get checked on your bad habits and dumb bullshit you do. The only way to improve is to actually play against good players and watch your replays and take notes on what you did wrong in those certain situations. And if you don't know what you did wrong, its time to do actual research and ask questions. Getting good at fighting games is hard as fuck, nobody said it was easy. It takes actual study and thoughtful practice. You cant just be a mouthbreathing retard and grind your way to higher skill levels by hitting your head against a wall.
>>739822896>The only way to improve is to actually play against good players and watch your replays and take notes on what you did wrong in those certain situations.how many times have you seen Punk lose a match and then take some notesLMFAO
>>739822816>but it's more than possible to get matches with people of similar skill levels in 3s, +R, CF, and so onIt's possible, but finding a needle in a haystack is also possible. And it's not worth the squeeze when 9/10 matches are going to be against way better players that are going to fuck you up to the point that it's not fun anymore.Yes, players need to improve, but players also need to be able to play the game and have fun with things at regular intervals which isn't a thing with low population fighters.
>>739822882>>739822934>le gene memeAutism helps a fuckload but if you don't have some form of autism what the fuck are you doing on /v/ in a fighting game thread??So much of your fighting game struggles comes down to basic math and remembering frame data. If you can't memorize basic frame data in your head then you shouldn't be playing fighting games. Everything is just numbers and execution. Thats all you have to fucking learn when you are an intermediate player, start learning the math of your framedata and your execution. Don't worry about "footsies" and all this other retarded shit, learn. the fucking. math.
>>739822934>how many times have you seen the player that always drops his spaghetti at the crucial moment and gets his shit slapped for it take notes?2 dots Anon. Just 2 dots I'm sure you can connect them
>>739822974Listen like on 3s it's incredibly easy like I think you have to have never ever used fightcade if you say this about 3s. +R and CF have plenty during the day.
>>739822896>the problem with only playing people at your skill level or slightly higher is you will *never* get checked on your bad habitsThat's literally how it works though>get placement matches>get matched up against people at a similar level>some aspect of your game gets ironed out until you can rank up>then you get blocked at the next rank until you iron something else out>rinse and repeatBut in that process the player still gets to do shit as they're going up against players with their own playstyle at that level, compared to being a newbie getting crushed by a 3000+ match Testament player when they just want to try out +R.
>>739823123and yet he's still a world class talent with competitive successwow almost like 99.9% of this genre is just being born good at it
>>739819169>That's the only people left playing fighting games with less than a thousand concurrent players.I'm a beginner at fighting games myself and I met plenty of other beginners on the more popular titles at fightcade, so I don't agree with that.I believe it's a matter of tolerance, when a person is booting up some 20 year old competitive game 9 times out of 10 they're aware the oldheads will give them a little shake at the entrance so it's not that big of a deal for them, but when it comes to games like plus R the shake becomes a rape, there's nothing intuitive about what's going on in those matches, the only ways you have of learning how to play the fucking NEUTRAL is either being told (i.e youtube video, discord vc/text, friend by your side) or playing for 20 hours straight until you subconsciously start doing it. I don't think the entirety of +R was flawed because of it but it's certainly what Mori wanted to fix when making BlazBlue, from the very little I played and watched of that game has made it sure that it's far easier to set foot in than +R but still fun and complex, I think that series was a far better attempt at "debloating" or "casualizing" Daisuke's genius than Strive, who made an airdashing street fighter.
I think the most telling thing here is that you never see Tekken or SF players have to desperately try to convince people to play their game. Meanwhile +R players are trying to convince anons that getting wrecked in their game is actually fun and you're just a filthy scrub if you don't think so.imo if you see that, it's a red flag not to touch said game
>>739823151im not talking about brand new newbies though. Im assuming every scrub in here has at least 200+ hours in their favorite fighting game, but still struggles hard because they can't break through to a higher level they want to be at. Brand new players can still benefit from fighting expert players, but just don't expect to win a single time, winning isn't the point. The point is analyzing what hes doing and asking yourself how can I be like that. Then going into practice mode and trying to replicate what he just did to your ass as best you can.
what is this niggerlicious yes/no reasoningofc you want to fight stronger playersofc you also don't want to get bodied senseless in a game where you're trying to grasp the fundamentals. Anime fighters are esp bad for this since its always my bullshit vs your bullshit. btw I say this as someone who learned gg with rev2 when it was dead and I had to go against one dude who had a few offline placings and refused to play anything other than Johnny for 4 hours straight. It was a fucking retarded way to learn. You don't get the full exp because you don't get whats happening or have the muscle memory to accurately do demanding shit like instant block.
>>739822882>it takes genes to punish a -10 frame move with a jab and -15 moves with a launcherno you're just a fucking retarded retard fuckand the diaphone example literally applies to any pro level vs amateur player in anything you 0 IQ faggot, even the worst player in NBA/NFL/soccer/whatever can shit on 99.99999% of players
>>739823325I like both Blazblue and plus r but I gotta say plus r is literally the perfect game if you want to just constantly improve and keep getting better. Plus R is just the best thing to ever happen to the genre. Lately I’ve been trying centralfiction and it’s up there too.
>>739786447I just want to post this:https://youtu.be/uN3BNoS1iQA?is=6JuIxyB1dhp4ucSlLet me be clear - I dislike Tekken. But ffs, this theme is God tier.
>>739823357>Im assuming every scrub in here has at least 200+ hours in their favorite fighting gameAnon, most people on this board haven't played 200 hours in the genre in total. Maybe that sounds like a low amount of hours to you, but that's a fucking lot of fighting game and most don't want to deal with that.
>>739823357>>739823470Ah dang it
>>739823609Can you put custom pictures on these
>>739823405>>739823410Whenever there is a thread about improving at shit, its always filled with sorry ass sourpuss squealers who blame everything except themselves. Everybody wants to be good, but nobody wants to put the work in. Im a boomer 09'er and I went from not being able to SRK or Hadouken in SF4 vanilla to being able to body most of the Cali WNF dudes online by the time SSF42012 came out. I even gave Valle the business one time. But I put like over 1000 hours in SF4, and I practiced like a motherfucker. And I asked a fuck load of questions on srk forums, and I got popular players to teach me a few things and give me games.You can't just bury your head in teh sand and grind ranked. You have to study, you have to put REAL fucking work in. It's not just a "game" for fun, it's a test of patience and intelligence.
Do not talk to the raped Do not talk to /fgg/ schizos
you should git gudbut gitting gud should be fungetting buttraped in +R by veteran testament players is not fungetting shitter shatterd in 3S by some Chun player with thousands of hours is not fungetting poop booped in KOF by 40 year old mexicans that have been playing the games since they were 5 is not fun
>>739823724who asked? why are you blogposting @me
>>739823771What if i am the raped
>>739823724>It's not just a "game" for fun>>739823801>fitting guy should be funThe duality of the FGC.
>>739823879Lock in and just play the game instead of going on a boohoo nobody likes losing tangent for billionth time on mongolian basketweaving forum
>>739823724>>739823801
>>739823801Chun makes up like 1% of Fightcade players and you’re more likely to get raped by an Akuma or Ken. In +R it’d be Sol and Order Sol more likely than Testament.
>>739823801The fun is coming back a few weeks later, and actually putting up a better fight, because you studied and practiced. Even if you didn't win, the fact that you didn't get assraped and you actually did a few things or blocked a setup correctly or caught his jumpins or correctly applied a good blockstring against him and worked a few setups. The feeling of progress is what its all about. I don't have fun mindlessly grinding ranked and constantly winning or losing against equal skill players and nothing is actually gained or learned. This is why ranked will always be gay as fuck anyways, ranked online pretty much ruined a lot of the point of the FGC.
>>73982043299% of the time those games required less money to make than release and the community surrounding them is free advertisment so they don't care, fighting games are like filler episodes for a big company. The 1% is shit like 2XKO where Riot Games did their classic move of delaying a game for a billion years until it comes out perfect, which would've worked if the dev team they hired weren't a bunch of scammers kek.
>>739795024most fun i've had in sf in a long while
>>739823890>>739823938Learning the game itself is not "fun" in the same way you are thinking a game should be fun. I mean, it's work. You have to actually work to git gud, and people dont want to do that because they already have a job... The best players dont mind the work or dont already have a job.The true fun of fighting games comes from the comradery of people who put in the similar amount of work and passion about such a niche nerdy autistic thing that requires tons of skill to do correctly. Everything great about fighting games revolves around the social aspect and the communication between players and expressing yourself through your playstyle and learning experiences.
this thread is an encapsulation of why nobody plays fighting games (except SF6)
>>739824337>The best players dont mind the work or dont already have a joba lot of poverty anime games best players are literally ruled by japanese office workers and american wagies,
>>739821763I wanted to say ASSFAGGOTS but the mobile ones are pretty popular as well, fuck man there really is nothing as miserable as this genre.
>>739821763I was going to say TRPGs with Fire Emblem being the only significant name, but I just remembered that the FFT rerelease did pretty well along with Unicorn Overlord so lol nevermind
>>739824486yeah street fighter and tekken are different especially in the modern era, when people actually started getting sponsorships in Asia for SF4 and people like Infiltration literally did nothing but play SF4 for 16 hours a day. When you combine autism + neetdom + insane memorization and reaction times. Theres really not much you can do to reach their level, especially when you have a job and shit.Thats kind of why they dumbed down SFV and SF6 so hard, because people got sick of how much autism you needed and timesink you needed just to learn the basics of your matchups and execution. I mean you had to basically learn fucking plinking in SF4 for decent damage.
>>739818993And like 80% of its player base is just the Japanese, too
>>739822089>Like I'd be embarrassed to say that I avoid things out of fear of fighting someone good. Are men a dying breed?If that was the case, sports would be doing bad as well. Fighting games are just way too fucking jewish, even more so nowadays.
>>739824737Not sure why SF6 caught fire in Japan so hard. Is it just japanese ecelebs and social media making SF viral in Japan? It's interesting how Japan doesn't dominate SF anymore in skill like they used to. I always wondered if they made SF6 as hard as SF3 or SF4 Asians would dominate tournaments again, i feel like they dumbed fighting games down for westerners to compete better.
>>739824902sf6 is not a bad game, and a way better game than sf5 ever was. the problem is that it's such a successful game that capcom literally never updates it. they are playing it as safe as humanly possible and the game got incredibly fucking stale.
>>739824950/thread
>>739820708this is happening in real time in the platform fighter community right now
>>739811815How come Hazama has longer hair than Terumi
>>739824902A combination of e-celebs, word-of-mouth, and the Japanese being fanatically devoted to their corporate overlords' success. Daigo "I just want Capcom to make money" Umehara.
>>739824970>never updates itGood. Aris is right, constant balance patches also helped ruin fighting games. Back when fighting games just came out and never got balanced honestly made things a lot more interesting because new tech would be discovered for like these 10 year old games that never got caught or patched out of the game. It was really interesting to see the growth and constantly evolution of the meta in a game that never receives updates, as people's knowledge and skill increased.
>>739825190my problem is that sf6 is genuinely close to being a insanely good game if they just got rid of a couple really obvious flaws.
>>739825183>Japanese being fanatically devoted to their corporate overlords' success.yeah this is a weird cultural sickness they have but I almost feel like it's become worse in Japan in the last 20 years, but I don't know much I would have to ask a Japanese person what they think.
>>739825293they cling onto corporations that provide them entertainment because their lives peak at high school
>>739825293>Japanese person>thinkAnd therein lies the problemI'm not really advocating for the Western alternative of >Oh HELL naw, you ain't charging me for no nothin', these corporations is EVIL! I will cheat and pirate whatever I damn well want
>>739825268Eh, not for me. SF6 just feels like a sequel to SFV. Its the same dumbed down bullshit with slow normals and extremely "on-rails" gameplay. Theres almost zero room for creativity of playstyles in SFV and SF6. There is only the right way or the wrong way to play a character in these games. SF used to be a lot more unpredictable and also defense used to be a lot more viable.
>>739825417the game you want has only ever really existed in third strike though if we're strictly talking about street fighter, the vast majority of sf games have a on rails "right or wrong" way to play a character.
Oh HELL naw, you ain't charging me for no nothin', these corporations is EVIL! I will cheat and pirate whatever I damn well want!
>>739822402Pride is a sin desu
>>739825403>I'm not really advocating for the Western alternative ofthe western alternative is like this because we live in a time where you are being nickle and dimed by every corporation to the absolute extreme while people's spending power has gotten worse and worse
I'm not upset to see SF6 doing so well, but it does suck for variety in the genre. Other fighting games are fun, but none of them can ever or will ever be able to occupy that same space or audience that SF has. It is a business like other anons mentioned, so you're either getting publishers deciding that it isn't worth funding other fighting games (resulting in franchises getting shelved forever) or everyone just tries to copy SF6 since that's where the money is.Kind of like when a mall opens up in a town and all the local businesses start shutting down or getting absorbed.
>>739825509Nuh uh. ST is pretty open as long as you aren't playing as or against top tiers. CVS2 has a ton of "skill expression" or whatever the fuck the zoomers call it these days. SF4 was the peak though, I used to play against imo the best Gouken in the world and he had a totally different playstyle than the actual "best". In SF4 once you reached a high enough level there was still a lot of open interpretation on how a character should be played, and also the extreme depth of learning every matchup was a thing too.I feel like no matter the matchup, you really don't change the way you play your character too much. SFV and SF6 just has this really "scripted" feel to it, like every match plays out exactly the same, and theres not much variance in the flow of the match because so much of the game is based on pressure, setups, and 50/50s instead of neutral, space control, and sick reads.
All I know is that I hope Smashfags suffer and continue to suffer for all eternityAmen
>>739825417You're correct but I still play in spite of that. When you bait an opponent's DP and have the time to set up a full punish, the optimal route is always heavy -> drive -> heavy -> super but I just don't do that and choose to user a more technically difficult and less damaging combo just for fun. I've found that SF6 is at its most enjoyable when you don't try to be optimal.
>>739825760>and theres not much variance in the flow of the match because so much of the game is based on pressure, setups, and 50/50sthis is anime games and they have more skill expression and variety than street fighter has ever had
>>739822473Not only do you improve, you actually improve much faster with good players because learning what NOT to do against Johnny and Spike is much more important than learning how to land your nutbuster dragon combo against Timmy and Billy.
Why do people get so mad when I give up and hold forward?I'm not rage quitting, I'm not denying you your points. I'm just conceding. You're a better player than me
>>739825845That anime shit doesn't belong in SF though. this is exactly what I mean, fighting games have been injected with too much ADHD weeb anime shit. Also the new GG games suck dick and are slow and dumbed down as fuck, just like the new SF and the new Tekken. Every fighting game just feels like taking turns doing block strings and setups, with very little opportunities to snatch the turn back yourself.
>>739820912>Tekken standardsIts doing better than Every Tekken sans 3 and 7. People forget that the franchise was on the brink of cancelation after Tekken Tag 2 flopped hard.
https://youtu.be/9zyXaUcxZ9cRoof saying he has 99% execution with every character in KOF besides Ash had me rolling. Sure big guy, sure. lmfao
>>739825748BUT I WANT A TRAILS ANIME FIGHTER WITH +R MOVEMENT AND BLAZBLUE DRIVE LIKE BUTTON NOT SF LIKE NEUTRAL FOOTSIES AND DRIVE RUSHES I don't mind though as long there's the Trails fighting game exists
>>739824970>and a way better game than sf5 ever wasSpoken like a faggot who's never played CE
I continue to Rivals 2I continue to WebM
>>739825953We're not mad, we're just disappointed. Play out the game and try to learn something.
>>739825748I miss the days when it seemed like every dev had their own fighting game. Now you only get maybe 3 fighting games a year, and good chance that all of them will die off after a month.Like I want another KI game badly, but I know Microsoft is never going to greenlight another one because it would flop so fucking hard even if the gameplay was still as good as its always been.
genuinely think everything went wrong when devs decided dp's shouldnt be invincible meterless, now we have spiraled into aggression madness
>>739826143Bro?
>>739826495"Proper" "Traditional" 2D anime fighter
>>739824729>Capcom dumbs down execution for shitters in SFV>they realize basic-ass neutral is too hard for them>go even further than dumb down neutral in SFVI>let players skip neutral entirely for free>becomes the best selling conventional fighting game of all timeThe entire genre is going to die because the simple acts of walking and poking were too much for the average brainrotten normie
remove drive rush from neutral, get rid of throw loops, there sf6 is playable
>>739826728yeah, I don't really know what people see in SF6. It's like people's entire values and expectations for what a fighting game is supposed to be has completely changed. We desperately need to go back to pure basics, no meter, no insanely long block strings, no mechanics that replace just doing it yourself, no slow motion, no crazy particle effects. Just you, another nigga, and a couple of moves.
>>739826494Invincible options that cost meter and lack of chip death are the best universal decisions ever to be created, like getting rid of tank controls for shootersso fuck you
>>739793794Strive 2.0 isnt even on switch lol, they mightve abandoned it I think, shame because I kinda wanted to pirate it for my og switch and use it as a scuffed local setup for whenever
>>739827121>yeah, I don't really know what people see in SF6.The fact that people play the game.
>>739827121this is not what made fighting games good and you faggots are the reason these games are like this now. it was the variety in frame data, hitboxes, and inconsistencies from character to character that made everything work. it made fights fresh and interesting every time. no we have homogenized frame data, homogenized hitboxes, every character is functionally playing the same game because for some reason we decided tekken was actually the most genius fighting games of all time and every character using the same 10 moves across the entire cast was actually the correct way of making a fighting game.
>>739827121Anything that tries to do this will inevitably fail, because of a combination of sunk cost fallacy (everyone is playing SF6) and the Smash-ification of fighting games where everything is about spectacle and crossovers, rather than mechanics.
Going back to play 3s.There are things I like, like execution being an actual barrier.But the parry system kind of blows. The execution behind it being tight doesnt change the fact that its a system mechanic that changes the way you play similar to how the drive system does.>I jumped I deserve that mixupAnd other statements by the criminally detanged
>>739827301yeah nah, every game with meterless reversals are still better than every game without it. but keep batting for sf5/6
>>739827121It wasn't changed. Capcom just realized that what casuals think a fighting game looks like and what a fighting game really is are two entirely different things. SFVI might as well not be a fighting game, and that is the very reason it was so successful.
>>739827452chill bro I agree with you. But also SF and Tekken really really need to just strip away all the fucking bullshit and go back to what made the classics so good. Tekken Tag 1 is so pure and simple compared to Tekken 8 its fucking insane. You can just jump into Tekken 3 or Tekken Tag or Tekken 4 and just fucking enjoy yourself. Im not counting Super Turbo because that game became just as broken as MvC2, but classic SF2 is just pure and fun. Third Strike also doesn't really have that much shit going on, at its surface its a really simple game but all the depth lies underneath. Also I think adding all this meter bullshit and tons of shit happening on the screen discourages new players a lot. Back in the (really) old days when there was less mechanics and bullshit to learn I think it was easier to understand what high level players were doing and what made them so good. They were just experts with the very few tools the game gives you.
>>739827752>The execution behind it being tight doesnt change the fact that its a system mechanic that changes the way you play similar to how the drive system doesTrue. I don't know why people praise 3S at one of the last "pure" fighting games when it's just another game with an overcentralizing gimmick.
>>739827787Removing invincible reversals from SFV was an overall improvement to the game because of the disparity between characters with them and those without one. The problem is Capcom carried this onto SFVI where a meterless reversal would be needed the most as even a successful reversal will cripple due to the game's meter economy.
I like zoning and sf6 makes zoning unviable so I will forever be mad at it for that
Wha?
>>739828495we're living in an era where shotos get everything and more sadly, people are just now realizing that lettings mids michael in for free and doing pick related to you is just not fun gameplay
>>739827787>>739828340I think the bigger problems (or symptomatic or equivalent wtv) is that EVERY special move and also normal move which had special properties got weaker as the series went on.Remember 1-5F on startup airborne normals? Remember ex inv reversals that weren't DPs?Remember what made matchups, matchups?
>>739828495>zoning in SF6 is unviable>fight against Mai shortly afterhmmmm
>>739828704yeah, every character needs to be the same now because faggot 1 is complaining that his zoner character doesn't have a meterless invincible reversal, and faggot 2 is complaining his rushdown character has stubby normals, or faggot 3 is complaining his shoto doesn't have fireballs that cover every option for him. every character needs to be homogenized because of this, you will all functionally play the same and you will like it.
>>739828861mai is a shoto
>>739828861>throwing a fireball so you can DR in behind it is zoning
>>739829075It is. This is no different from throwing a fireball and your opponent neutral jumps in ST.
>>739829440shotofags have lost their god damn mind
>>739828495same
>>739827971>chill bro I agree with you. But also SF and Tekken really really need to just strip away all the fucking bullshit and go back to what made the classics so good. Tekken Tag 1 is so pure and simple compared to Tekken 8 its fucking insane. You can just jump into Tekken 3 or Tekken Tag or Tekken 4 and just fucking enjoy yourself.How old are you to talk about tekken tag 1?. The single player content matters a lot, the audience moved away from the arcade experience, from 2015 moving foward, the trend of mechanics, cinematics and constant patches for the meta characters are the Esports standard for the competitive scene. SF6 success comes from 2 demos into one game, the single player experience with the world tour for the casuals and custom avatars, to get more players into the SF universe and the casual gameplay (the player age media is 20's old). Casuals won't stay along in the game with just the arcade mode ,training mode and online.
I just play fighter games and hit my opponent :)

>>739821737That's a lotta Sols...
>>739844581In the span of about 30 minutes to be fair.
>>739846370I know that Sol can never be bad pre-Strive anyway because he is literally Daisuke, but is he dominant in +R?
>>739847167Can't personally speak on that because I haven't personally gotten into air dashers yet.
>>739847254(I'm not the anon that posted the image btw if it's not clear)
>>739847312It is now kekLet's wait and see what he has to say about that, later on.
If your favorite game is an old game from the early 1990 or the 2000 how come you never support your favorite game by showing up to tournaments and help grow the scene?
>>739847646waste of energy/money.
>>739841469>it is impossible to get at least a C rank hereAverage '98 experience
>>739848071i'll hit e rank any moment now... then i'll be where i should be
>>739847167Sol is mid tier in +r and xrd
>Play fighting against CPU>No issues doing combos>Play online>Get nervous and fuck up the simplest of combos
>>739847167Strive Sol has always been at worse mid tier, he's a solid pick as long as you don't mind re-learning combo routes every seasonHe's still got great damage from Sidewinder Ignited in 2.0, you can convert a random jump-in into like >60% HP>is he dominant in +R?Not as cancerous as the top tiers, but well rounded and has plenty of retarded options to take risks withHits extremely hard if the player can route into sidewinder loops, and Wild Throw has a lot of returnI think out of the three games that are played, Xrd has the weakest Sol of the bunch
>>739820495You forgot the Megaman Legends 3 cancellation
>>739848327>>739848404CoolLast 2D Guilty Gear I played was XX like 20 years ago and I remember him being good in that so I was curious.I recently got into Strive and he seems fine to me there but I've seen a lot of people complain about how he got severely nerfed, but that's something I can't comment on because I don't understand what he lost.
>>739807238>goth ingridnice
>>739848329Stop thinking after you land the first hit
>>739847781You sound like a tourist, like that one +r posters. you should support your games little bro
>>739849225Are you guy who avatarfags with arcueid too?
>there are people in this thread RIGHT NOWwho prefer hag Kunimitsu over Kunimitsu II
>>739849225you are the tourist completely out of touch with reality.
>>739848616>I've seen a lot of people complain about how he got severely nerfedAlmost everyone got nerfed in the last patch, technically everyone did, but because some were less nerfed than others, they end up getting essentially buffed (eg. Axl)Sol lost some cool combo routes and I agree they made his routes more boring because you just always go for the clean hit sidewinder nowOne of his main mixups off Bandit Revolver RC is way worse, but it doesn't outright kill the characterThere's a bunch of system nerfs that affect him as well, like removing 4f jabs, or making DPs truly return to neutral and making them more punishable, and the removal of wild assault affects his punishes a bitBut overall he's only maybe a little weaker than previous season, and still a solid all-rounder
Play Street Fighter.
>>739850050Ah, so it was mostly the whole system nerfs that got him, that makes sense.Well, it's a good thing I have no previous point of reference so I can just learn him as he is
>>739826314>Like I want another KI game badly, but I know Microsoft is never going to greenlight another one because it would flop so fucking hard even if the gameplay was still as good as its always been.I mean MS could go F2P again and attract people to a premium version by offering bonuses like character accessories. They could also garner attention and hype by crossing over in some way with a current active fighting gameMS could also milk 2013 until we're 90 I guess. As long as they add more characters I'd be happy for awhile at least.
>>739826207What's this unlimited jump bullshit? Looks so trash
3D fighters are so dead and western fighting games actually have some titles adjacent to MK these days that Tekken players are the ones who are mostly the ones who have minimal overlap with other titles.
Modern Port of Ehrgeiz God the Bless the Ring when?
>>739826207>character can create a solid platform out of thin airHey that's cheating!
Haohmaru raising Shiki's child is the weirdest piece of lore I know from fighting games
>>739823462She's cute.
>>739849651The Kuni's taunts are a huge plus for her gaze. Kuni II just got a huge sexual upgrade.
>>739807238>hell girl ingridCool.
>capcom hires a mexihop dev>put him on a crossover>complete flop>design ONE original character>feels completely out of place, rapes the lore, ruins the Rose/bison storyline, nothing special gameplay wise>fast forward 15 years>"Ingrid? Poochie ass character in a crossover no one even tried to revive and a remix of the worst alpha game. Why are you bringing her up?">fast forward 7 years>Dude I love ingrid because shes a character in sf6 and I love sf6 have you seen how she breaks the fourth wall and she rekts the series main villain and she's a blatant dlc powercreep das OD??? *holds up brisket*
>>739799140NOFUCK YOU
>>739852149And Shiki's dead.
>>739852637I was on Ingrid's side before release thinking the antis were being ridiculous bitching about a character almost no one actually experienced.But no, the haters were fucking right. She cancer. I apologize.
>>739819169I still see blue and green square lobbies in my dead anime fighters. You guys are right for the most part but not conclusively right.There are still absolutely shitters online in these games. >Anything less than 1000 concurrent playersTry something like less than 20 or 50 players before saying everyone has 4000 matches.
>>739852905>i liked ingrid when i thought people hated her, but now that people like her i hate her
>>739852968lolgot his ass

>>739853080irony
>>739853170are you using a random word generator for your posts
>>739852637who are you quoting
I can't get over how pretty Ingrid's WT arts are compared to her actual model man. I wish the WT arts were uglier even so I wouldn't have to think about what we missed.
>>739852074He unironically needs it
>Spends hundreds on controllers >still in gold rank explain yourself
>>739851234The game's balance is ok right now, you can pick anyone and do good enough onlineI think the only characters that have questionable viability right now are Bridget, Testament, Faust, Happy Chaos and maybe ABA
>>739854049>Happy ChaosWhat the fuckI thought nothing short of removing him from the game would make him bad.
>>739854049>>739854409Happy Chaos went to grand finals at Combo Breaker last week so, no, he still needs to be removed from the game.
>>739825190You are forgetting that back when fighting games weren't updated, a sequel would be made every 2-3 years. Now it's at the very least 8 years between games.
>>739854409They kinda nuked him, short of getting a knockdown, he has to play -2 RPS to get gun out, or use steady aim and fuck his own resources upHe works more like a two-step character now, since he has to get the gun out to get good conversionsHis mixups are far worse since he can't jump with the gun out, and his conversions are guttedHe can't cycle resources with Deus Ex Machina anymore (no reload, no meter gain after wallbreak)He's not dead, but he takes more effort for way less reward, to me he's kind of like a worse Zato right now>>739854528That was Jack and he's afaik the only HC who's had results in 2.0They didn't nerf HC's normals or walk speed and that's how he's able to still win, guy's a freak when it comes to playing neutral/defense
Should I buy SF6 now or wait until the usual re release?
>>739855314>live service>re releaseAnon we're stuck with this crap for the next 5 years
>>739855314>wait until the usualit should've happened by now, to the point people are doubting a new edition will come out simply because there's nothing indicating that they are cooking anything
Enough time has passed that I know for a fact now that I prefer rereleases to service model with character passes
>>739855501I was thinking that was being the case since the Year 1 + 2 didn't have all the DLC>>739855516Oh well, I just hope I don't get fucked like with DoA6, granted I knew the rumors about the new version but ofc I didn't wait long enough.
>>739855742If we had re-releases today, companies would manage to make that an incredibly shit deal with very low value for the price anyway.Don't get me wrong, the current model selling you FOUR (4) fucking characters for 30 dollars is abhorrent, but I have zero reason to believe re-releases made by current day Capcom would be any better.
how's alex in dix? i was pretty dismayed when they took away his charge moves and replaced it with stance bullshit but my curiosity is getting the better of me.
>>739856112like every alex in every game he's inkinda jank
>>739821134When you grow up losing to your older cousin at everything and keep coming back for more regardless, you really do just keep coming back for more. No fear!
Does anyone here play real fighting games like Street Fighter or just anime kuso?
tekken 8 being so shit is depressing
>>739856981sf is anime kuso

>>739850857Already do
>>739850857Will do
i have absolutely no energy to play fighting games. maybe this is actually the best time to head online
>>739858985Yes, that's a guaranteed way to get some energy going. Negative energy that is
People really saw Ingrid have a normal that can be cancelled that clearly goes over lows and thought she wouldn't be a top tier character, huh
>>739860324st.HK?
yay bronze ii get
>>739860770Congra-HOLY
>>739860770Impressive.
>>739856981>Does anyone here play real fighting games like Street Fighter or just anime kuso?No I hate fighting games.
>>739862331Welcome to the FGC!
I don't even play fighting games anymore. I've tried to motivate myself but my passion is completely gone. It's hard to when you have nothing to look forward to. Playing older games is a waste of time unless you plan to attend events (even if they are just locals). And it has become impossible to make fighting game friends thus no rival to jumpstart my engine.
>>739862978i feel that way too, i don't have anyone to play against locally and i see all the people i've played online advance faster than me and i'm just starting to cramp up some in my thumbs from some form of possible arthritisit might be officially over
>>739856981begone fraudposter
>>739862978>>739863471I can be your rival, both of you.I'll even call you slurs
>>739862978I only play ranked and I still can get my rocks off from it. Skill issue.
>>739862978>Playing older games is a waste of timeyou play games to have fun
>>739863729Fighting games aren't "fun" anymore. I play other games to get my fun
I just started playing fighting games recently but these threads make me feel like shit from the way you guys talk about how modern fighting games suck donkey dick and that everything is shit-aids.Feels like I missed out on the golden age or whatever.
>>739865279>Feels like I missed out on the golden age or whatever.You did but then again remember that this is /v/ and everything sucks no matter when
>>739865279This is the golden age of fighting games. Back then, you were forced to play locally or deal with 8 frames of delay to play online.
>>739865279>Feels like I missed out on the golden ageYou did.Literally got into fighting games when dumbing down of the genre is happening across the board, the scene is going full corporate for esports and there's only one popular game in the genre.
>>739865279You did, but keep in mind that during said "golden age" people were complaining about the games nonstop in pretty much the exact same way.
>>739865463>the scene is going full corporate for esports and there's only oneit's the scene it deserves
Protip: Before playing a match, make sure your palms are not sweaty.
>>739865279>Feels like I missed out on the golden age or whatever.I mean, you did, but if you don't even know exactly what it is that you missed out on then for all intents and purposes you didn't.You're freeIf you like what is available and popular right now then just play it, enjoy it, have fun
>>739865279>almost all dev decisions are made to either bring in the most casuals possible or appease esports retards>most notably this includes dumbing down fighting games by making combos braindead and neutral nonexistent as those don't make for entertaining spectator "sports">every fighting game franchise not named Street Fighter is fucked right now>Season Passes and Battle Passes all over the genre now>Rampant censorship of characters>Guestslop at an all time highChose a poor time to start anon
>>739865479This isn't true. In the late 2000s we were going "genre dead no one plays". In the early 2010s we were going "pogchamp holy shit streamboooooar", in the late 2010s we were going "we're so back it's so over we're so back".
>>739865876mom's spaghetti
>>739866050None of those things are mutually exclusive. If you're not complaining about the game you play you are a poser. To love fighting games is to complain about them.
>>739865279You started at a good time, thanks to rollback. Modern games are awful but you can always play the good ones, especially now.
>>73983189732
>>739866218>you can always play the good onesAnd by play, anon means that you can get raped by the remaining 10-50 people that play an old fighting game.
>>739865279If you're like 20 years old just know that you don't need to worry about the doomposting. Play the new games, understand them, their design philosophy, and enjoy for the next 10 years. Eventually they're going to stop catering to what you like about fighting games and follow the next new trend. New trend could be anything.- All companies make Free to Play Fighters- Fighting Games are merge with another genre like Open World Gacha Games- Fighting Games become 2 buttons fightersJust examples, I can't see fighting games going back to 00s technical so expect some type of bullshit modernization in the next 10 years. At least it wont ambush you like it Ambushed us 90s/00s enjoyers. You have the awareness to know when and where it will happen.
>>739866375Nah there’s plenty of different people on plus r and blazblue.
>>739866169I honestly don't think complaining about your own game was so prominent back in the day. There was instead a lot more tribalism. Guilty Gear players bitching about Blazblue. Tekken players acting like they were playing the only real game. Capcom players punching down on SNK players. Random ass anime game coming in and insisting it's the best.
>>739866493>Nah there’s plenty of different people on plus r and blazblue.see >>739818527
>the attention he got hours ago wasn't enough so now he's at it againPitiable
>>739866509It really hasn't changed that much.
>>739866493>there’s plenty of different people on plus r and blazblue
>>739866578See>>739821547And perhaps>>739821737Lil sis
>>739866790I guess I can see why someone who’s never played a fighting game would be confused
>>739786447would you give a drugged up grill a statue of Morrigan so she leaves your house?
>>739866790Yea I hate when people say that shit. There's only one player at a time in +R that has less than 1 trillion games, and they probably won't even wanna play against you. And for Blazblue, finding newbies to play against is hard/annoying due to lobbies.
i freaking love street fighter 6, fatal fury city of the wolves, and guilty gear strive
>>739866802>weekend peaks are barely over 100 players, which is no different than the rest of the week>some anon doing matches with a grand total of 2 people is supposed to prove me wrong
>>739867075To be fair that’s true for every game. Even if you boot up sf6 it’ll just be JP mains with not just 1 trillion but 3 trillion games played.
It's a shame ChrisG isn't remembered at all. A forgotten legend. That guy used to win 3 different mainline fighting games at a single major event. I don't even think that was done by anyone else. He was consistent as fuck. It's funny too because this single guy made everyone hate Morrigan in MVC3 when no one else was even playing Morrigan like him.
>>739867134That isn't true. Maybe you live in a tiny region, but I'm able to find many people of similar skill and have good games. Occasionally, I'll run into a masters-tier player who is low rank for whatever reason but it's no big deal.
>>739867127Personally I don’t think you should decide if a game is alive or not based exclusively on how many trannies play them. For me I’m happy with a game that has less trannies but plenty of actual players to play with whenever you want. But you are more than welcome to stick to strive if you need your briskets.
>>739867216Nah I mean same way in plus r it’s exclusively 1 trillion games Testament mains, if you want to play sf6 but don’t want to fight 3 trillion games JP players you’re out of luck
>Exclusive Colors>Exclusive UI layout >Exclusive JP voices >Exclusive Rank System for Arcade>Adding some type of gacha card system like Fate LMAOOOO you all have been betrayed before the game even came out. I guess no one will care though since arcades are nonexistent and Avatar will get updates on PC/Console regardless
>exafags got another one
>>739867134>To be fair that’s true for every game.It's only true for dead games. You can find all kinds of players in SF6Meanwhile I look into +R right now and here's your selection of opponent bro.
am i insane or are half circles harder to hit in arcsys games than others
>>739867226>+R>Less trannies
>>739867472I was just calling you a retarded tranny afraid to play a good fighting game. There’s multiple people in the quick match lobby by the way.
>>739867559Multiple people with 10000+ matches, yeah.
>>739867540
>>739867605And plenty with triple digit or less as well. I guess you wouldn’t get it since you only play Fortnite and csgo.
>>739867106Kinda based
dude what the fuck is ingrid's damage
>>739868320
>>739866578>>739866790genuinely what do these """"people""" get out of making posts like this
>>739867778i genuinely think it's an oversight
>>739868370It helps validate their gender identity I think
>>739868370Exposing groomers such as yourself is satisfying.
>>739868370I like telling people the truth so that new players that lurk these threads don't get suckered into wasting money on some dead old fighting game that is only filled with players that will suck any fun or interest they could have in the genre.
>>739868473>>739868483That would be your kind actually, “sis”
Should I masturbate o Len?
>>739868370Some "people" have nothing, and I do mean literally nothing going on beyond acting like obnoxious faggots on the Internet.
>>739869047I mean... you do you Anon. It's 2026, you shouldn't care about being judged anymore.
>>739839789literally no ass, tits, or vagina bones
>>739869186They failed and so everyone else must fail as well, either out of spite and pure fat girl sabotaging her friends diets crab bucket mentality, or buck broken inability to imagine success even being possible in the first place, anyone that says otherwise must be lying, any evidence must be fake or misleading, the other possibility is that the responsibility is on them and that is uncomfortable, so they shitpost
