wtf i thought Linne's current body is a loli highschool girl but she's in elementary school?

>>740906176Hyde gets to fuck THIS?
Predict what Tier Tifa will end up in. Low Tier, Mid, or God pay 2 win?
>>740905668Akatsuki Blitzkampf is simple and easy, has instant rematches and has a really cool nazi aesthetic so you guys need to start playing it.
never forget...
>>740906930God pay 2 win. Braindead easy waifus fucking sells.
>>740906974Is it on Fightcade or what
>>740906985PROTIP: remember this image the next time a random anon on /v/ calls your favorite fighting game dead
If I wanted to learn how to play fighting games, what resources can I use? I'm talking fundamentals and not game specific mechanics.
>>740907140The version ausf achse is there, yes. It's previous (and quite broken) pc-only version, Shisei Ichigo isn't and neither is the sequel series, En-Eins Perfektwelt unfortunately.
>>740906985>just play whatever you wa-ACK!
crazy
>>740907492En eins is on pc based arcade hardware so itll never be possibel to emulate, stop asking for it
Relius is real fun
>>740907721yo whats up
>>740907479Honestly it's better to just play until you find a specific thing you need to ask, getting prepared for the absolute basics is always a waste of time and makes you more frustrated when going through the universal experience of losing 30 matches in a row before a single win.
>>740906176Linne's current body's physical age is 10, she was never a highschooler.>>740906618Hyde only cares about girls if they have long hair and have big chests. Otherwise they're just imouto ranged.
>>740903709The previous mock-up screenshots for Uzuki, Ogre, and Izumi before release all lacked icons but Zohar is for sure going to have an icon for when her nail-puppet thing is active. Since it's floating besides her I hope she's more like Relius and can affix the puppet somewhere separate from her.I just hope she's more complex than Izumi and Ogre, UNI has been way too easy since Chaos.
I am a street fighter refugee. I feel like tom hanks in that movie where he lives in an airport.I wish I could tolerate parries enough to learn 3S
>>740907721Never say never nigga it's possible https://x.com/Armonte/status/2051484397363249378
>>740907721How do you think MBCaster works?
>>740908081I hate En Eins' voice, holy shit.I also hate the pastel color palette his game introduced.
>>740908023go play strive and troon out
>>740905668A fighting game about bitch slapping would be pretty funny. Just a roster of women and you have the most pathetic cat fight moves.
UNIfags, tell me about this girl with the guns and the huge honkers: why does she keep her eyes closed? What happens if she opens them?
>>740908342https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCH58e5sMVc
>>740908154I dig the idea they had for the aesthetic since it's supposed to be a more fast-paced game but the execution leaves a lot to be desired, some of the vfx definitely makes it look like some low-quality Mugen shit. At least they renamed the game so it's not like it's tarnishing the franchise or anything (not that it could considering no one knew about it when it happened.)
>>740908407>motion controls for the slapsKINO
While we’re talking about uni. How do you play Vatista? I can do her combos but it’s hard to actually get a hit. And people just shield the projectiles or beat them with better projectiles. So like what exactly should I be doing in these situations or in neutral or so on? Also should I use gems in neutral or is it too risky now that they get disabled
I've never played an anime game where I could successfully do the combos. How do people do that shit? They're so fucking hard. UNI especially.
>>740908407>by Wayforward>for Nintendo Switch>not an April Fools jokeHow have I not heard of this?
kill shoto players
>>740908697Practice them part by part until you get the whole thing done. Then go to real matches with the active intention of doing those combos.
>>740908715I thought Alex Ken and Akuma were all bad and Sagat Ryu and Mai were the absolute best?
>>740908715Lilybros...
>>740908343>why does she keep her eyes closed? Typical eyes always shut trope though it's pretty funny considering she's a markswoman.>What happens if she opens them?Shot you brutally tf2 sniper stylelol lmao she just have normal yellow eyes
>>740908705It's an old Japanese flash game I think, Wayford just remastered it
what are your honest, unfiltered thoughts on Poison?
>>740908929I think she's a fun looking character with cool moves and I welcome her existence in street fighter regardless of what's in her pants
>>740908580just do lasers anyways, you won't be winning grd and as soon as they get vorpal or 100 meter they're gonna do something nutty to get past the zoning, so just be annoying and pester them until they get close or you corner them. her gameplan hasn't changed all that much, get a knockdown into gems and force a high/low or strike/throw. you should still sneak gems in neutral if you can since if you trade into a gem it's always in your favor and they can consume projectiles. just don't do it too much since uni2 is the game where byakuya or hyde are gonna do their yolo full screen move into combo and you die. if all else fails you can also just do random 66C and if it lands you get a full combo into gem oki and if it's blocked you can make it safe.
how come alpha 1 had such cooler combos than 2 and 3
>>740908929SFV Poison is much better especially with heart raid stance
>>740908929I don't really have a strong opinion, because I just treat Poison as a random enemy in Final Fight.
>>740908868>it's pretty funny considering she's a markswoman.Yeah, I can sort of understand why they do the trope with swordsmen or whatever but a markswoman with her eyes closed sounds like a good meme. Consider my expectations subverted.>spoilerhuh... I imagined they would be purple/blue like her overall color scheme
Feet thread. Hooray.
>>740907830Ok but its impossible to play online. Its impossible
>>740909264???????????
>>740906930I don't think I've ever seen an actually good, fitting/accurate fan rendition of CPS3 sprites. They always look like mugen sprites.
>>740908929A weirder version of KoF's Whip, at least in SFV.
>>740906930There must be a flesh punchbag-tier exclusively for her. >>740875475https://i.4cdn.org/vr/1781178618489499.jpg
>>740908929Tries too hard to be a dominatrix, doesn't indulge in the punk rock energy of her original design.
>>740909181So I should’ve also said I’m new to uni too (well I started when uni2 came out but took a pretty long break), so just still try to zone? And if they’re close should I try to attack a gem, or if they hit it on the same frame will it disable it anyway? I dunno if her neutral just isn’t that good or I need to change my playstyle, but she feels a lot harder to keep people out or go in compared to Carmine who I also play
>>740906974No one here ever wants to play it.>>740907492perfecti cute
>>740907920>>740906176Nice. I will now watch your anime.
>>740909181what high/lows does vat have without charge partitioning?
>>740908343Despite Kaguya being a massive Kanae Ootori reference she doesn't have any special chuuni eyes, there's a flashback in her arcade story where we see them open and it's just basic yellow eyes. It's weird how they didn't reference the bug eyes considering how chuuni under night is.
ohnononono
>>740910185Huh I guess she is similar to Captain Ootori. She was very forgettable in Muramasa so I failed to relate the two.
>>740906974I feel like UNIfags hide any post mentioning this game because they're salty about Akatsuki.
>>740909572She has good neutral but half of her stuff is pretty susceptible to people just jumping or assaulting and her anti airs are committal so you have to anti air people or just be wary of all the anti projectile stuff. Keep people out and shoot lasers, throw booms, or just place a gem when they expect laser or boom. If you want to sneak gems in when they're blocking you can do so but the frame data is pretty bad, her sweep into gem is her safest set and its still -5 or so.>>740910005The most straightforward one is doing her force function, holding up forward. When she's mid air, you can either chain shift or do EX laser. From there the 50/50 is either you land and sweep or you go straight into B drill for the overhead.
>>740910372>Huh I guess she is similar to Captain Ootori.Yep, she seems to be a mix of Ootori and Anonym from ABK. You can even customize her colors to make her look almost exactly like the former.>She was very forgettable in Muramasa so I failed to relate the two.You're on thin ice pal, don't say that about my wife.
>>740909529Why is Yuffie doing Clair and Masuda moves?
Almost there. Pretty cool and batshit confusing so far. EXS might be one of the most fleshed out power system in fighting games alongside Blazblue's ars magus plus drive and Guilty Gear's magic system.
>>740910713Just for the record, I'm the one who originally asked about Kaguya and I didn't say anything bad about your wife. I haven't even watched Muramasa
>worldbuilding?>in my fighting games!?
>>740910185Now that you mention it, she really is a Kanae reference down to killing her father.
>>740910713Your wife a shit and I will fight you to prove it. Preferably not in UNI because I don't play that.>>740910996>watched stupid idiot
why don't sumo characters ever have sauce
>>740910439The only person salty about Akat is me and I don't really give a shit about if ABK is discussed or not. I just know that Akatfags are some of the biggest poseurs around as far as UNI is concerned next to the lolicons.>>740910924>spoilerThere's hardly anything to be confused about imo. The EXS explanation after Chaos' chapter doesn't go that much in-depth there are lore streams from FB that covered the first 10 characters and their powers which aren't discussed within the game itself.
>>740911214ENTER
>>740911285>there are lore streams from FB that covered the first 10 characters and their powers which aren't discussed within the game itselfAh of course extra source materials fucking rad
Gord shouldve stuck as the protagonist, Hyde has no sauce and i find his archetype to be insufferable
>>740911484Ok but are there drama CDs?
>>740911214As mentioned in a previous thread, most sumo characters aren't interesting beyond their style, i.e. being a sumo wrestler is literally all they have to work with. Sumo is a conservative style steeped in ancient tradition, so many characters don't really break out of that shell. The only sumo wrestlers of any note are Hinako (KoF) for being a girl, Taka-Arashi (VF) for being an asshole, and Ganryu (Tekken) for being a comedy character due to his one-sided crush on Julia.
>>740911492Hyde's first impression isn't great but after seeing some other 2010s highschool protag designs in fighting games he's actually pretty fucking rad.His gameplay makes up for a lot of it imo. Watching rekka delays is what convinced me to drop Sion and play him instead.
>>740911569FB can't afford that shit.
>>740911615his gameplay is fine, i was talking more of his role/personality in the story
>>740911569no :(
cotw jenet's face is ugly
>>740910536thank ya, I'll work on it
>>740906985nicalis or w/e his name is ruined it even more, but tbqdesunest the game just lacks any real sauce as far as gameplay is concerned, it's like a povert last blade it feels like
>>740911679I think he gets better in 2 where he owns up to the protagonist role more willingly. Having an interaction with damn near everyone in the cast except Gord weirdly enough does expand his character ever so slightly.
>>740911663I want Radiata to become playable
Anybody want to play Blazblue?
>>740911846They had absolutely no reason to tease/remind people that Orie's nerd friend has one lying about in their room but they did so I can't help but expect one of them to be playable one day, whether solo or in a Celica from Blazblue type deal.
>>740911606e honda is definitely the most famous sumo
>>740911905i can play some, but i can't drink to calm muh nerves because i took some aleve just now
>>740908343Arara ufufu~ characters are just like that.
>>740912062steam://joinlobby/586140/109775243688918056/76561199506057983I'm pretty bad
>>740911998Honda may be Honda, but that doesn't excuse him from being the poster child of the "nothing but sumo" sumo character. He only ever competes in World Warrior tournaments to prove sumo is the greatest style in the world.
>>740912101give me a few, i have to do the ol' win7 steam cache delete restart of steam process
I wish KOFXV didn't get fucked over so badly. I would've liked to play it.
>>740908697UNI's combo theory is pretty alright. Just enough combo variety to not get stale but still easy enough to pick apart and apply when necessary.
After how many hours playing casual matches should I dip my toes on ranked?(Intentionally vague question)
>>740912298there is no difference between the two besides a funny number going up or down
>>740912204yeah it got fucked over by snk's own stupidity>>740912101>>740912175ok ready
>>740908697Depends on the character and what you're willing to do.Every character has difficult OPTIMAL combos, but if you just want a good BnB or whatever, then a lot of them are pretty easy for most of the cast. Characters like Mika, Lond, Wagner, orie, Gord, and Linne have some pretty simple BnBs.The fun part of anime fighters is that the combo system is very flexible, so you can just do a variation on the combo most of the time if you're having trouble

you guys ever played advanced VG2 on PS1? it's really good. I think it's better than asuka 120.
>>740906930Don't careI haven't bought single season pass
>>740912902First time I've heard of it but it looks pretty cool, what do you like about it?
>>740912902Yes. It's kind of unresponsive sometimes but it's satisfying to hit people in and the music is pretty cool.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4dUvDrOWx4

>>740913009feels like a janky crazy romhack of an old SNK game like a fatal fury or something, lots of chunky satisfying buttons and fun movement with fast superjumps and stuffalso the roster is entirely 90s cheesecake
>>740913112I wish Takahiro was still alive.
Hyde... had a hard life...
>>740913163K' is uniquely dated as a design, since he represents the apex of Y2K cool edge.

>>740913821anon hsien ko is literally f tier, by far the worst in the game
idk why but the more I see it, Nanase's felt like she's fat. Maybe because her VN portrait art look like her face are chubby even though her sprites and character select art says otherwise.
>>740913852Yeah but her assist is good if you can get the powerup
What are the core characteristics of a “fighting” game? I think it’s the presence of a definite health bar and the fighters being roughly balanced with each other.I think that’s why something like EA UFC is never considered a fighting game, because none of the fighters are balanced by by choice
>>740914059Don't you dare call my main fat you piece of shit.
>>740914123AAAA I CONCEDE
>>740914059Zohar was the fatty, keyword being was.Nanase was the short haired tomboy>>740914123>Nanase mainnani. There hasn't been a nana main here in years

Back to horde shooters then.
All the dooming over Tekken 8 is unnecessary.The last few patches have been great, and people are looking forward to Yujiro.And until VF6 comes out, it’s the top 3DFG in the world
>>740916449You're a retard for implying it is dooming regarding Tekken 8 and not genuine and truthful criticism of it's awful gameplay decisions, and being at the top of 3d fgs doesn't really mean anything when there is literally nothing else to compete against. You are a double retard for implying Tekken won't STILL be at the top when vf6 comes out.
>>740916449Game is dying bro, developers are leaving, Yujiro will be the last character and the game will never be actually good no matter how many "good" patches it gets, it's fucked at the foundational level.
>>740916449I'm having fun with it so I'm inclined to agree, but I'm not a long time Tekken fan so I also know I'll never fully understand how old Tekken fans feel about it.EVO Japan Grand Finals this year were rad though, good enough to show what the game -can- look like, and I think the game is on the right track now.
>>740916449Developers quitting makes the future of tekken and bamco much more concerning
>>740913252Sounds sick, will def give it a try eventually.
>>740917650There is absolutely no way that Murray leaving doesn't improve Tekken, but Nakatsu leaving is concerning, yes.
>>740916449>All the dooming over Tekken 8 is unnecessary.It's not, the game is utter shit, it was utter shit from the start and it only got worse, a few minor patches does fucking nothing, meanwhile 3 directors bailed on the game.utter dogshit game
>>740917710Murray didn’t leave, he's the last man standing, let that sink in for a second.
>>740917934>game bad>the people who made it bad leave>this is supposed to be bad news

How is Granblue Versus?I liked the first one
>>740916449>top 3DFG in the worldUh... are there even any other competitors currently? Like what the fuck else is out there? The only one I can think of is the next DOA game, and Gundam VS, but GVS is basically japan only. Does literally anything current exist asides from DOA, VF and Tekken?
>>740920475That's mostly due to an autist who always ages Linne up so the western artists he comms don't refuse him on principle
>>740920658Man this so old
>>740920592I never played vanilla but I hang out in /gbvsg/ and a lot of vanilla players seem to fucking hate it, apparently it's much more aggressive than it used to be and they dislike that.Personally I like it a lot, the gameplay is simple and character identity could be better but it has several characters that I find fun. The presentation is absolutely fucking fantastic too. There's always the free version if you want to check it out.
>friend has been playing melee casually, asks me to play>never played smash outside of casual free for all items on stuff>sit down to try to learn some basic tech>most unfun shit I have ever done in a "fighting game"There is no fucking way you can tell me comboing into a DP or doing consistent quarter circles is even close to as difficult as trying to consistent SHFFL. The idea of needing to time my lever doing a 2 motion and pressing a button as I land whenever I jump or hop in a fighting game sounds fucking awful, why would you want basic movement to be this difficult? How do smashfags justify grinding out this shit but refuse to touch a fighting game? People wanting to learn to do this so they can play as their favorite scrimblo is insane to me.
>>740921017I'm nkt a vanillafag but a friend of mine was, he told me a vast majority of the vanillafags jumped ship even before release because they hated the changes. Never seen an updated version literally kill its scene and gain an entirely new ine.
man tekken is really fun when you stop playing the shitty version
Why is there no Tekken on fightcade? They got all kinds of dumb bullshit games on their but no Tekken Tag?

Cute.
I’m having fun with TK8 no matter what anyone says. At least it isn’t throw throwslop like SF6. Still excited for VF Crossroads though
>>740920039That's one of the compelling parts. VF6 is unironically aiming for GOTY, a fighting game that is truly for the mainstream by expanding the definition of what it means to be a fighting game. I wish them the best.>>740920594The only four 3D fighting games of current relevance are Virtua Fighter, Tekken, Dead or Alive, and Soulcalibur. VF6 and DoA7 are coming, and SC is completely on ice with the suits almost actively sabotaging any chance at building a new Team Project Soul to make a new one. VF5 REVO is pushing along reinvigorating the iP, and DOA is following SEGA's playbook by launching DOA6LR (to questionable results).

>>740923048Completely forgot about SC. Seems apt for the franchise. Other than that, the only other 3D fighter I can think of is Bloody Roar, but that's dead as shit.
>>740925356Bloody Roar is super dead, hence why it wasn't mentioned.

>>740914363I'm that anon. I don't lurk /v/ much on account of it being shit. I just happened to see that post on the front page. Anyway, I've mained Nanase since UNIST. She's a seifuku wearing tsundere tsundere with a big, fuck-off, wind magic claymore. There was no one else even up for consideration except Vatista but I didn't have a stick when I started playing and I didn't want to rebind face buttons to do behind edge. Plus I'm bad at charge characters on pad.
>>740925835Negative edge* Don't phonepost in bed, kids.
I used like to like Street Fighter, but then I got a taste of Tekken. Literally can’t go back to 2D fighters anymore

I want a new KoF in 2027 made with Harada's oversight that has Bernstein siblings as well as The Last Blade team as dlc and it should be in UE5. There, I said it. >>740923323It's up to Japan to decide whether VF succeeds or not.>>740916449>launch season 3 changes are underwhelming>fgc is dooming>3.00.02 and 3.01.01 patches turn out great actually>fgc outside of Tekken barely notices themBamco is lowkey retarded

>>740929149Maybe, but it's the only current fighting game that I enjoy playing.
>>740928769>>740929281Rose is such a bloodthirsty brocon that she threatens to throw your team out the airlock of the Black Noah after you beat Adelheid in '03.

This genre will not recover.
>>740916449Pretending that Tekken 8 can be "fixed" or "improved" is like thinking JFK will come back to life if you reassemble his head. The game was made a certain way by design and it was made to suck ass, that design will never change.

Why don't I just learn ragna instead of complicated characters?

what's the state of Modern in SF6?I'm gold and there's barely anyone playing modern, and those who do just spam DP and what I assume is the auto combo modern gives them or whateverit seems OP as fuck though, being able to just get a full combo and DP with just a button pressare modern players just on higher rank tiers? maybe I just haven't hit the standard skill floor for modern
>>740940836modern is a double edged sword, its main benefit is one button dps and one button supers. however they lose out on a bunch of normals, do less damage and are generally much more predictable to face once you understand the modern gameplan. its not strictly better or worse than classic, but its a trade off. i think it makes the game worse by existing though
>>740940836Modern is literally cheating at that rank, but as you improve its drawbacks become much more significant. The modern auto combos are mostly pretty unnecessarily meter hungry and losing moves is not usually worth having 1 button supers for most players.
>>740939003Scuffed anime fighter but you'll get into it
>>740934784Damn he's back?
>>740939701Same tweet chain said the esports division asked for less sexualized characters.
>>7409425913D trio
>mfw tekken is the only really popular fightan in my country and a lot of hot chicks play it but i just can't stomach and my favorite genre (anime fighters) is only played by weirdos, neckbeards and tranniesmy tastes in everything are so loser coded it's unreal, even among other nerds
>>740940836Simple inputs = simple playstyleModern is powerful against newbies, but it also means you're gonna be more predictable to people with experience, with some characters the tradeoff is worth it though
>>740940836>are modern players just on higher rank tiers?People just don't like modern despite how much it's shilled, especially in the west, Capcom's own stats put it at 1/4th of the playerbase and by like iron or silver players are majority classic. I'm pretty sure the disparity is even larger if you're in NA since Japan is notably more friendly to it.>>740941310>Modern is literally cheating at that rankAs much as people insist modern is great for getting new players in, I wonder how many new players dropped the game because modern felt both lame to use and like cheating to go up against.

>>740939619I started to play him and just play him kinda like I do Sol in plus r, pretty fun, think I’m mostly going to keep trying with Rachel and Relius though
>>740939003Decent starter game with Tekken tier skill floor without the swathe of Tekken one and doners/ragequitters so if you don't fuck with one character you can just try another, rc system is fun, has a decent amount of players and ranked isn't completely useless where about a third or more of the player base gets a free ride to the top like say granblue.>>740943859Well did you expect anything else from anime fighters?
>>740944374nah, i'll just keep playing my discord fighters where people actually like the game they are playing
>>740944893>VfcLmao noIt has zero sex appeal and way to complex for newcomerIt will only last 1-2 yr with 500 player count
>>740944374I think I’ll stick with plus r and cf
>>740945583vfc will have 10-15k player count while tekken 8 is stuck at 5k
>>740940836modern sucks to play against, even modern players don't like fighting modern players, 1 button supers, auto confirming auto combos on hit/block, it's just not a fun time.
>>740945354https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RNCIfV3Sek
>>740944893>vfcDude Tekken could flat out die and delist every one of their games from all systems and virtua fighter still wouldn't even be top 5. Get real.
>>740939783this is a you problem, your offense sucks. strive literally made throws have an animation and people are still getting woke up thrown because they have terrible offense
>>740945772vfc is gonna sell more in one year than what tekken 8 has ever sold
virtua fighter characters have no sauce
>>740945643>10-15k player countAnon this is a series that has been dormant for years it's gonna be the exact same situation as cotw but like 10-15% better since the only other 3d fighter is Tekken 8.
>>740945583>It has zero sex appealEven old ass VF5 has bikini costumes, even the recent re-release with nerfed character customization. All they have to do is give us T8 tier character customization and let people dress up their waifus.
>>740939783But people do that/succeed with it in other guilty gear and anime games too. That's a trademark of fucking up your offense throughout the series and genre.
>>740946089Throws are 0F in the main guilty gear games, strive has them at 2F or 3F
>>740945968I hope they don't go full sf6 route and locked everything behind season pass and fagcoinsUnlocking things in fighting game feels good
>>740945943sf was dormant for years toosorry but tekken is just dead
Someone needs to kill the live service trend of fighting games Just let me unlock new character by simply playing for fuck sake
>>740945198One good game. Impressive
>>740946865i really wonder what game you picked out of that
>>740945638Enjoy being the big fish in a small pond ig? Im not sure where the fun is in that. Good luck with your transition btw.
>>740946897I agree with that anon and you don't need it pointed out, which game it is should be pretty obvious.
>>740946897One of those games sold 6m copies. The rest are dead discord mashers. So... presumably...
wow this thread is indistinguishable from fgg right now
>>740946973yeah i love skullgirls
>>740945825>>740946089That's the joke
>>740927809It's one of the top 10 most played fighting games on Steam
Inb4 wah wah appeal to authority, wah wah my game has been critically re evaluated to ackshually have been good this whole timeIdc if your game was critically re evaluated when the ones re evaluating it are broccoli heads, real ones stuck with the classics not these knock off kusos diluting the fgc. Spoiler vote ass games.
>>740947018and it should be afgg with majority storymode tourists?
>>740946921I think that would be more your style, sorry. I’m not into your weird shit.
>>740940836I play Modern Zangief because I don't like six attack buttons and I don't wanna learn combos
>>740947152i think you shoot yourself in the mouth
>>740947018You haven't been to fgg in years then. It's a thread about game development, masturbating, culture wars, namefag drama and not talking about fighting games.
>>740947135This applies to all games and all media as a whole. Legacy and catering to the OGs > zoomer 00s and 10s fake nostalgia for shit that happened when they were a baby they were too young to be there for These niggas really want you to believe they were mashing on candy cabs in japan playing guilty gear and kof and turd strike as children lmao nigga you popped out the pussy yesterday shut the fuck up your opinions on anything dont matter you think the prequels are good bitch stfu
>>740947617If anything, it’s more telling that even new players can tell the old games mog new ones
>>740947617They also pretend to like 3d games that arent tekken and pretend they used to be popular and they pretend to like dark stalkers and they get really mad when you post the steam numbers for sf6 vs cfc cfc2 mfc 30ac and of the snk or tranime kusos
>>740947734New players just pog at the pixelshart graphics thats all. Its the novelty of sprites theyre too new to care about gameplay. Thats why they just repeat talking points from dooming grifter e celebs like SLIME THO THE SLIME SLIME AHHHHHH ITS SO BAD as if its some how worse than roman cancel nonsense or air dashing or spic hopping like that shit fucks neutral completely but gets a pass because these loony troons just hate anything that doesnt have an anime art style, two nukes werent enough zoomers were fucking groomed by the japs
>>740947135Your distinction between real ones and broccoli heads is completely arbitrary. There's no unbiased third party telling you which of the two groups has better taste so you're just saying your taste is better because it is, not a compelling argument. But considering your group is a minority, there's at least some evidence they have a stronger case for the game they like being a more appealing product.
Project Justice is awesome, even if Roy is OP. I wish CFC2 wasn't a flop, nobody plays Dreamcast games on Fightcade.

>zoomers ruin everything because they play modern slop>zoomers ruin everything because they play old and niche gamesWhat is it, then?
>>740947935YOU JUST DONT GET IT UNC OLD GAMES WERE BETTER BECAUSE THEY WERE HARDER NEVER MIND THE FACT NO ONE KNEW HOW TO PLAY THEM AND THEM BEING HARD WAS A COMPLETE ACCIDENT AND IF IT WERENT FOR A BUNCH OF BUGS AND SHIT AND POORLY THOUGHT OUT GIMMICKS THE GAMES WOULD MORE OFTEN JUST BE SUPER BARE BONES JUMP OR SWEEP INTO 2 HIT COMBOS ALL OF THE "DEPTH" LITERALLY COMES FROM POORLY DESIGNED SYSTEM AND BUGS BUT THATS "SOULFUL" AMD INHERENTLY NOBLE GAME DESIGN AND ITS INHERENTLY NOBLE TO PLAY RETRO SLOPEnjoy MY SLOPPY SECONDS YOU FUCKING ZOOMER FAGGOTS IF YOUD BEEN THERE BACK IN THE DAY AND ACTUALLY PLAYED AND PUT THE TIME IN YOUD BE READY TO MOVE ON TO AN ALIVE GAME WITH A FUCKING REAL PLAYER POOL AND A YET TO BE SOLVED META WHERE YOU THE PLAYER ARE FORCED TO LAB AND ADAPT AND GROW INSTEAD OF LETTING PROS DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU AND JUST READING A FUCKING WIKI PAGE

>>740948630UNIchads keep winning
Thats the other thing people dont talk about like, if youre an og youve already played the game to death and the game is kinda done. Like they genuinely have a shelf life. Once the meta is figured out youre just playing the most tired game of simon says. Simon says spam parry, simon says spam cc, like id just rather play something fresh? And rather play with people in a game thats happeneing lol and not jump through hoops to mash w spics but zoomer fgc larpers get real upset when you say this shit
Remember when you can unlock characters by simply playing the game you paid for?
>>740946609The live service trend now is that any gameplay content should be free. Fighting games are actually a very jewish exception in that regard.
>>740948789hey do you apply this logic to counter strike
>>740934784This guy is dead to me after he tried turing into a right wing grifter. Pathetic retard
>>740947152>afgg>storymode touristsWhat the fuck are you saying? If anything it's more like afgg and fgg specifically because of a lack of storymode fans, the mass delusion from fans of less popular series and a recognizable retard or two like that one +r fag that makes the exact same kinds of posts each thread with the exact same filenames about calling shit weird or calling anyone who insults +r a strive player or whatever the fuck.
>>740948593>ALL OF THE "DEPTH" LITERALLY COMES FROM POORLY DESIGNED SYSTEM AND BUGS BUT THATS "SOULFUL"Unironically yes.>old game: being more clever than the devs, doing things the creators never imagined, skillfully using design flaws in unexpected ways, the fun of discovery>new game: did you just discover a juggle the developers didn't intend? sorry, that goes against the developer's vision, you're not allowed to have fun doing that, next patch will fix it. I hope you use this character in the exact way they were playtested to be used otherwise we will need an emergency patch. is that a cool unexpected technique? it doesn't look realistic to have the character moving like that, it's too glitchy, buggy, we need to remove it
>>740948716Air dash was the original drive rush. Unreactable gap closer the whole cast has access to and it obviously makes the games more chaotic because anime games are defined by it and they all have it. Thats literally the point. Im not gonna defend sf6 or drive rush the game sucks and sf has been down hill since hyper fighting
>>740948630And people will tell you SF6 isn't carried by Japan kek
>>740948968>Air dash>Unreactablesf players are genuinely not human
>>740948789>if youre an og youve already played the game to death and the game is kinda doneSomehow not a problem to people playing ST and 3rd Strike both on fightcade and at tournaments to this day. Or for the broodwar community, among others. Let's not even talk about chess, when was the last chess patch?
Thinking about maining Alex
>>740949060You got the money?
>>740947935>as if its some how worse than roman cancel nonsenseDR literally lets you YRC a projectile
>>740947935I feel like this is mostly just a skill level thing because airdashing isn’t anything like drive rush, but I can see how you can think that when you’re new and don’t know anti airing very well. But yeah I just don’t really care to play shit like strive or sf6, plus r and 3rd strike are just better in both how they look and how they play.
>>740949047>the spics who are forced to game on potatoes and thus cant play sf6 LOVE turd strike>tons of zoomers LOVE never having to think and just look at the tier list pick the top two characters then spam their supers and spam parry and winGood for them, im gonna play a real game now lol, last reply, bye
>>740948716SF players were conditioned all their lives by people telling them that neutral is waggling back and forth trying to whiff punish, and jumping at all is a scrub move. Any game with good air movement therefore has no neutral to them. That's gonna be a huge problem for VF too because whiff punishing almost never happens in that game, all the SF players are gonna call it shit.
>>740948976I think if the top game is almost twice the player participant size as the one under it then that indicates it isn't carried by Japan. Considerably more popular in Japan yeah but street fighter will literally always be the most popular ,or 2nd most popular in the case of euros, fighter even outside of it.
>>740949047also somehow not a problem to people playing counter strike that has been virtually the same game since GO, that anons logic doesn't work because he's looking at the games in the most air sealed vacuum possible. fighting games have a lot of nuance and more important you are not fighting robots you are fighting people. people are going to play differently.
>>740948968>gap closeryou can air dash backwards to run away too
>>740949045Yes iad is unreactable you cant aa an iad air dash jump in because it has to be anticipated fuck up the timing and you eat shitIn a fundamentals based game you get to react to jump ins and aa simple honest fun, it is the foundation of fighters. There has to be rules otherwise its party bs like smash. I look at 3s and kof and anime and see smash. I see mario party.
>>740948630
>>740949373you are not anticipating an iad button, most normals are too fast for that to work. you are anti airing them on reaction, you have not played a single anime game is any meaningful way.
>>740949327So you can run around in all directions hmmm like some silly hit and run party game bs that sounds famili-- OH YEAH, SMASHAND WHERE DID THE SMASH REFUGEES GO? STRIVE? HUHHH, HOW INTERESTING....
>>740949397No problems here!
>>740949218If anything the first worlders are the ones more likely to play better old games instead of mindlessly playing bad new ones. Bad specs ain’t stopping those from playing 6 lmao.
>>740949484strive you mean the game that literally gutted air movement?
>>740949397turns out people don't really wanna travel to america anymore, especially when the economy is in the shitteryou voted for this
>>740949373The fastest hypothetical air dash always adds at least two frames to any air button. If the fastest button in a game is 5 frames you have 7 fucking frames to react to an air dash. Realistically it's far more than that. This is such an insane take. AND KOF IS NOT ONLY NOT ANIME IT'S FUCKING SLOWER THAN STREET FIGHTER
>>740949218>pick the top two characters then spam their supers and spam parryYou've never played 3S in your life.
>street shitters can't react to iadthis explains so much
>>740949373>it is the foundation of fightersLiterally just street fighter and even in SF you can't play purely reactive in neutral, you have to guess and take risks. Biggest issue with drive rush is not that it's unreactable it's that even if you react or guess correctly you can lose to their button because Luke did suppressor or whatever, and also that it makes you plus in their face when other neutral skips in this series usually would make you minus in their face.
>>740949484>strive>airdashLiteral Gen Alpha posting here kek
>>740949484>>740949651To be deadass with you both I've seen smash players basically equally move to whatever was popular such as Tekken, SF6 and Strive. Like that riddles dude who got into sf6 and plays terry.
>>740949758it's always been true when sffags say a game has no neutral what they actually mean is they cannot adapt to that games neutral, all they know how to do is walk back and forth pressing "low towards forwards" or whatever retard babble they use
SF6 has done and will continue to do untold damage to this genre.
Real ones like sf6Never seen a cis hetero white man actuslly enjoy turd strike kof anime and non tekken 3d fighters. Literally never seen that.

>>740950168I can't consistently shorthop on a pad. Ice tried to drill it, and I can't do it.
>mash shorthop dNahh my nooch clean ese
Why are the best fighting game players either extremely autistic (leffen, sonicfox) or really fucking dumb (punk, noah, mena)?
It's not even an SF6 thing. People who can play other fighters always convert to SF just fine but SF players have failed to play other games decently since SF4. We used to meme on this all the time every time an anime guy or SNK gamer came in and started sweeping
I swear tierlists for SF6 would flip on their heads overnight if throwloops were removed. I dont understand why such an unfun and meta warping mechanic is still in this game.
>>740950298leffen is really dumb and has to have rules or characters change for him to be able to compete, he's been doing this since melee
>>740950323it genuinely really wouldn't most of the characters with throw loops are insanely good characters without them
>>740950124That’s just cuz you avoid those types
They should remove throw loops except give Honda throw loops with his command grab
>>740950261do it like a reverse superjump
>>740950323Its in the game because it makes offense significantly easier. It levels the playing field for retards.
>>740949658>you voted for non-Whites not coming to your countryWhy did you say that as if that was supposed to be a bad thing?
>>740948630How many free codes did Ludwig drop quarter million spend on some entrants?
>>740949397Street Fighter failed in the westRivals of Aether and 2xko will take its place. 1k holy shit
>>740947935>>740948593>comparing KOF's meticulously planned unrestricted movement that can be used for both sides of the screen to street fighter 6 where the characters are extremely magnetized to the ground and can only use DR forward.Are you 2 shareholders or developers? What's with the Suck To Target defense force?
Where can I find Akuma tech?
>>740950309>People who can play other fighters always convert to SF just fineWhat are you talking about? People, top anime players included, were literally having meltdowns on SF6's launch wondering how to open people up (in SF6 of all games) and anti-air. None of them got any results even with top 1 JP when nobody knew how to deal with him. I remember somebody linked a clip where Sajam had to explain to Hotashi what a fucking spacing trap was and was laughing at him for just pressing buttons hoping they connected.
>>740950973128 for the top 128 at the Road to Vegas tournament back in April. Then he made sure to give passes to every known top player. Then he gave passes to TOs to distribute at their locals and at online tournaments.
>>740951781hotashi's problem was that he didn't know the hitboxes on marisa's move and was using the wrong buttons to whiff punish, he literally has a video using the hitbox mod to fix this.
>>740949397>259 vsav NICE!no 3rd strike tourney though?
>>740952373It's in the community tourneys
>>740951781how can a slightly decent mutt discredit Xiaohai, Go1, Dogura, Leshar who dominate street fighterFlip it and you can't name a single street fighter main top 8 any other game
>>740952176No, I know what that anon was talking about. Hotashi literally did not know the concept of spacing traps until Sajam taught him. But even before that, Hotashi lost a showmatch against Punk who never learned optimal shit, Punk was just beating people with fundamentals. Both Punk and Hotashi were winning early strive based on playing top tier characters and no one being optimal at the game yet, and in Punk's case, knowing basic SF footsies too.
>>740952570punk is a bbcf player as well btw
>>740952496Tokido was a KoF player too, it's where his name comes from. He also played Tekken.
Why are we even using Hotashi as an example when Xiaohai is dominating SF right now. Strive players are fucking terrible. The joke about the game has always been how anyone can win.
>>740952496>>740952696I also forgot, Mena was a Smasher, as is Riddles.
>>740952696>>740952774Last time 14 years ago?
>>740952493are these streamed?I never know how nu-evo is organized
>>740949218>>740949604Americans and Europeans play SF2 and 3 on fightcade. Latin America plays kof 2002 and 98 on fightcade and the random local pub with a bootleg arcade cab. Japan plays SF2 and 3 on actual arcade cabs and probably never heard of fightcade. China plays kof97 for some reason
>>740952830>f-fuck i gotta move the goal post now!
>>740952735>Why are we even using Hotashi as an exampleBecause Hotashi is loud and obnoxious, so people who don't know Strive's competitive scene still know about himHotashi hasn't even had huge results in a while and his playstyle with Nago is kind of gone from the game in its current state
>>740952867Most of them are and depends and the streams are everywhere in different channels that are not EVO because it's a community tourney. But there will be a schedule guide on where and which to watch.
>>740948630>thank you so much Saudi-san.EVO USA will be relegated to a tier 2 tournament, not wonder EVO will go full global next year.
>>740951642The Akuma discord
>>740948630Very few people off social media care (or even know about) the Saudi ownership. And last year the US was equally unpopular, and had almost 4500 SF6 entrants. This massive drop is almost entirely Americans that went last year choosing not to go, which is 100% due to current plane tickets + Vegas pricing. Reality starting to hit. Evo is skippable luxury
>>740948976
>>740949397It's cool that Vampire savior is here and not the least played game
>>740952830Guy all the new blood in the scene are literal children who started with SF6. Every tournament has a bunch of toddlers running around in top 32 now and long development cycles means fewer chances to get started. SF6 holds a stronger monopoly on the scene than any previous fighting game has too, people don't convert from other games anymore because everyone starts in Street Fighter now and never branches out. That or they start on Strive and never actually learn how to play fighting games since Strive teaches you wrong.
>>740948630>>740949397>>740953750Everything is fucking expensive. Economy right now is fucked and of course the "tension" in America too.
>>740953926can't imagine how fat and ugly you must be irl
>>740953750>post copied from redditDead internet
>>740954040thats me, i'm from reddit
>>740953868wtf is France doing?
>>740953926how does Strive teach you wrong
>>740954089I think it's just that only 2XKO fags care enough to spend the money to go to the USI might go to Evo Nice because it's just across the country, but even that might already be expensive
>>740954284Strive teaches you wrong because it has throw protection on wakeup and you can't literally throw loop people
>>740954554Whats sad is some people actually think getting throwlooped is normal. Fucking hell I hate throwloops so much
>>740905668how hard do they fuck after this
>>740954284Most modern fighting games simplified execution down to try and bring players in which has its own host of problems. Strive simplified decision making instead. Damage is very high so you need less interaction in any match, answers are very well-defined like the universal 6P functions, and design choices like the simplified air game and slow but big buttons gives you a lot of extra leeway in picking options in every interaction, combo theory is pretty unique to that game in that a lot of it is built around moves that don't truly connect to each other but have massive enough hit stun that you're building Smash Bros style combos out of them.I've seen people get good at Strive and none of them have ever been able to convert their Strive skills to other games since the rules of Strive don't go anywhere else. Street Fighter will teach you universal fundamentals at the minimum.
>>740952496>>740952735>"People who can play other fighters ALWAYS convert to SF just fine.">"What about all these guys who didn't and had to have fundamental concepts explained to them?">"Uh, yeah, well what about Xiaohai, stupid?"
>>740954284corners dont exist for starters
>>740954284easy anti airs, explosive damage, easy confirms, easy everything doesn't translate well to any other game not even other modern fgs
>>740952496idom top 8d umvc3 at cb
how long did it take you guys to get execution perfect? I'm doing a thing where I can get it 60% of the time by itself, but doing it after practical opening attacks somehow makes me lose my marbles
>>740955354I give iDom credit he's real as fuck.
>>740955354idom's first tournament showing was for both sf5 and umvc3, so it's not like he was ever strictly a sf player. he also always says umvc3 is his favorite fighting game of all time
i like modern fighting gamesi like games as a service and battlepassesall these unironically and i'm 35 so not a zoomerdebate this
>>740955685no one cares sonicsol
>>740955685i-no doesnt look like that anymore
>>740948872yes
>>740952687Realistically, almost every top player has played other games and it's really just an argument about what games they've taken seriously which everybody can quickly become a pedantic little faggot about if they want to argue it. The notion that people actually only play one game is for internet shitposts.
>>740955354he can't top 8 sf6 checkmate
>>740955042>combo theory is pretty unique to that game in that a lot of it is built around moves that don't truly connect to each other but have massive enough hit stun that you're building Smash Bros style combos out of them.what bootleg ass version of strive are you playingyou can mostly combo cancels (with some being limited to counterhit, crouching or standing + big body), with only a few links being possible when grounded the only exceptions are large counterhits, where you can link almost anything, the same way you can link from punish counter heavies in sf6
>>740955526this is unironically what arcade mode is good for
>>740955526I don't lab I just played arcade and and against friends as a kid for years long enough that I got used to it before online matches were a thing.
>>740955792i like the new ino a bit more
>>740955526Move around during practice before you do the attack into the special. It gets your fingers moving more like an actual match. You're not going to just be cleanly pressing down with all the time in the world, you're going to be pressing forward and then immediately tapping down+button into your special so you should try practicing like that if you're struggling in matches.
>>740955526i used to play against bots in xrd to practice comboing from random hits, i still play arcade modes to this day just to warm up or do random bullshit. but i also just love labbing and finding combos.
why would i play anything else but strive anyway? All else sucks in comparison, do you want me to play slime fighter? 2xkuso? capeshit? lmayo
>>740956369i mean if you only care about modern stuff i guess strive is your best bet
Why has backdashing become so horrible of an option in modern fighting games?
>>740956495retard monkeys that can't structure their offense ruined defense in fighting games forever
>>740956495you don't want a game with spammable backdashes, trust me
why would i play anything else but bo bleis anyway? All else sucks in comparison, do you want me to play slime fighter? 2xkuso? capeshit? lmayo
>>740956495I don't remember any game where backdashing was ever that good.
>>740956548>instantly goes to the absolute extremeboth xrd and +r have usuable backdashes as defensive tools and no one is spamming back dashes in those game unless your name is potemkin
>>740955042>insteadIn addition to*
why would i play anything else but Fatal Fury City of the Wolves anyway? All else sucks in comparison, do you want me to play slime fighter? 2xkuso? capeshit? soive? lmayo
>>740956495>backdash a meaty throw with Manon in SF6>end up -2
>>740956634the characters with top tier short backdashes like Xrd Johnny and +r Zappa etc absolutely do. Watch a Millia player in either game and they will backdash four times in a row in neutral sometimes.
>>740921375>Never seen an updated version literally kill its scene and gain an entirely new ine.I really wonder how vanilla would have done if they just had rollback from the start. Rising is barely doing better despite vanilla having delay-based netcode and no crossplay.
>>740956495Same reason every SF since 3 has been nerfing zoning. People want to be aggressive gorillas with ADHD and a single second spent not fighting or pressing buttons means the game is boring. Or at least that's what the developers think people want.>>740956576Tekken before 8.
>>740956931I don't think any fighting game will ever be as unlucky as Granblue vanilla was. That shit was so fucking cursed and if it hadn't gotten fucked so bad things might be really different for the overall scene these days for better or for worse.
>>740957161soul calibur 6, at least granpoo got another chance
>>740957161>I don't think any fighting game will ever be as unlucky as Granblue vanilla was.Skullgirls' legal issues, that one pony fighter that lost all dev support leaving players with a broken game
>>740957378skullgirls still kicking even tournament wise is genuinely awe inspiring
>>740957161>I don't think any fighting game will ever be as unlucky as Granblue vanilla wasIs it really being unlucky to finally get punished for your incompetence and continual refusal to make your games work online? Like it was entirely avoidable. They could have thrived from the lockdowns like Strive did.
