i'm ngl i've been playing 2xko
>>740955994i want to but im 30 and have never played a fighting game
Repost
>>740956163just do it then, it has a good tutorial and a roguelike single player mode where you can learn shit
>>740955994Thresh is based but I can’t use his box correctly
>>740956378i just started playing yesterday, i haven't used him yet. i have been playing warwick/ahri
>>740956163Good for you, I had to relearn my muscle memory because of these motherfuckers removing motion inputs
>>740955994why create a new thread?
>>740955994Thresh looks good. Such a shame this game is a tagslop.
>>7409565072xko honestly might have the best version of simple inputs out of the games i've played. its definitely better than sf6 modern, better than gbvsr too i think and way fucking better than invincibles modern controls
>>740956732Out of those I've only pllayed granblue and it's the same exact thing minus the cool downsAlso one button rekkas are the most retarded thing
>>740955994As soon as 2xko has high entrants all proudly admit they be playing (me too pve kinda nice)
>>740956489Want to recommend this Ahri guide maybe helped that his brain is Granblue wiredhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFBClR6fLMc
>>740956163Fighting games arent this mystic beast some people make it out to be. Just play and learn at your own pace. You dont have to play people at all, training mode and single player are there for all fighters.
>>740955994yeah it's almost like tagkino is fun and those who shit on the subgenre are retards
raped genre
>>740957860based
>>740956163stay away from our turf, unc
how do i unlock the climb exclusive colors? i want the talbain warwick, i beat it on intermediate but didn't get anything, do i have to do it on advanced?
>>740956245Is this for ants?
>>740958438You need to beat each respective difficulty 5x for the color you want. Talbain Warwick should be Expert difficulty
>>740956163New games have been designed with you in mind.
>>740955994>2xkusolmao dead kusoge. fuck off obvious shill
>>740958849fuck thats tedious.>>740958873its pretty alive desu, i've had no issues finding any matches
>>740958849*with the characters you want to unlock them for
>>740958873was wondering when the molested retards were gonna start showing up to seethe, took longer than usual
>>740958920Don't mind him he watched too many YouTube grifters
>>740956245>>740958713funny guy
>>740956995>>740956732My bad I forgot in granblue you have to press medium or heavy togetherHonestly I barely use it
>>740956995>Also one button rekkas are the most retarded thingkek yes i agree on this, warwick has an insane rekka you can just mash
kof or 3s anyone
>>740956995I haven't played 2xko. What's wrong with one button rekkas? It seems like the least offensive tool you could have on one button compared to projectiles or anti airs.
>>740959353i dont understand why this is a problem?
>>740955994Been on blazblue
>>740960546>>740960783nta but a big thing with rekkas is that you need a little bit of reactions to hitconfirm the unsafe later hits, to avoid doing them on block. I imagine being one button makes this extremely easy
>>740960546>one button anti airsIt's designed around this. Shoryuken style special anti airs with air invulnerability barely exist if at all. 2H go to
>>740955994I see that Riot decided to pay indians to promote their flop
>>740961094Evo numbers look healthy to me. Crazy seethe
>>740956350>>740956440>>740959078So against all odds, 2XKO survived and somehow replaced MK in the big three?How?
>>740960974it's a game build around magic series combos not street fighter links
>>740960857>10 sec cinematic for a lame ass beancinematic supers were a mistake
>>740961254it's an astral, you are rarely ever seeing these outside of memeing around
>>740958920It's not like you need many people to find a match
>>740955994>i'm ngl i've been playing 2xkoWhy? Feet? Armpits? Somebody in the game looks like Saint Floyd? Poop on dick? Cucks? Trannies? All of the above?
>>740961301I'm fine with it in cf since it's only astrals that get cinematics I think. And the transformation part is supposed to be the focus more than the beam, it's a magical girl reference.
>>740961220MK never does well at events. The game sells well and then has no tournament presence. The line up for ages has been SF6, then Tekken, then Strive, then Granblue for some reason.2XKO will certainly drop below Strive in reality once disqualifications take place but it'll probably still beat out Granblue.
>>740961359whoops for>>740961301
>>7409612202xko was being propped up as the NEXT BIG THING by youtubers looking to jump off SF6. Considering how fast it's falling, next year Rivals of Aether will take its place.
>>740961215Evo across the board are getting less players, 2xko is doing worse than COTW last year and is carried by people thinking Riot will actually invest into 2xko esport
>>740961301Yeah blazypoo is a remedial game for squeegees like that
>>740961430>2xko was being propped up as the NEXT BIG THING by youtubers looking to jump off SF6*SF5
>>740961220Mortal Kombat was never big three at tournaments. That's why they don't even bother hosting itFree to play, lots of money involved, NA has a soft spot for tag games, gameplay is good for its subgenre despite common narrative.
>>740961220>2XKO survived and somehow replaced MK in the big three?LMAONo, MK is still one of the big 3 names because nobody has heard of 2xko or even knows it out, fucking Strive is a bigger name than 2xko, 2xko was an objective flop that underperformed so badly they fired half the team 2 weeks after launch, its only standing because Riot is giving it one last chance and they have more money than sense, and it's still continuingly failing to grab the attention of anyone.
As someone with absolutely no knowledge of fighting games, it's always fun coming into these threads and trying to figure out what the fuck you people are talking about.>rekkas>links>beans>astrals>simple inputs, anti-air these at least make sense
>>740961598>it's the big 3 amongst anyone who actually gives two shits about fightans>but the secondaries bro, what about the secondaries???? it's not a big name for us bro!!!!ok?
>>740961646yo this nigga linkin BEANS
>>740961598Common practice. Post launch team is smaller than development team judging its success on that poorly written blogpost is beyond me.
>>740961735>it's the big 3 amongst anyone who actually gives two shits about fightansno it's not, even among people that give a shit about fighting games 2xko is not up there, even fg youtubers admit that 2xko vids underforms>b-but evo numbers2xkos ass would've been kicked by Strive if the Saudis didnt buy the event which made the majority of strive players swear off evo.lets also not forget evo japan 2xko pools where several pools had barely any matches due to high dq.
I am once again asking for someone to actually play a fighting game with me
>>740961646>rekkasbasically special moves segmented into separate parts that require additional inputs to access, lets say as an example a character does a special move thats 2 punches, the 1st punch would require the initial quarter circle forward input while the 2nd punch needs an additional quarter circle foward input to come out, otherwise if you decide not to for whatever reason the character will only do the 1st punch>linksthis one will always be weird to explain, but it's a way of comboing moves that don't cancel into eachother, you let the first move complete from start to finish and then "link" the second move, whereas cancels/magic series/gatlingsm you just press the buttons in sequence without timing anything>beanssomething you eat in the theatre>astralsblazblues special cinematic supers usually used as a way to kill someone as flashy as possible
>>740959078>Strive with low entriesBrings a tear to my eye
>>740961846>Common practice.no, common practice is relocating the team, not making a huge announcement that you're firing people from your new game that totally didn't flop nope. face the music, 2xko is a flop being held afloat by people unironically thinking Riot will give them money
>>740961430the thresh/senna patch brought a lot of good will back to 2xko
>>740961926Im going to bed
>>740961906>Strivers not showing up because of Saudis>Tournaments are worthless youtube clicks where it's atTouch grass
2xko is on borrowed time so you better earn your paycheck riot shills
>>740961906>majority of strive players care about the saudi shitjust as likely to be bullshit as everything else in your post
>>740961906>don't believe your lying eyes!!!!!!!!!>my what-if scenario in my head is the only reality that matters!!!!!ok?
>>740962025Sharing that sentiment. Singleplayer had a larger pull than imagined
>>740961220>2XKO survivedA big name game at it's first EVO is supposed to surpass Street Fighter like Strive and DBFZ did. Or at the very least surpass the worst received Tekken of all time. Instead it's barely beating ancient ass Strive in a year where both Strive and Tekken lost over 40% of their players compared to the previous year. Massive failure.
>>740962170Yeah, Strivers have more fell off due to 2.0 slapping everyone just for Pot's sins, just for Pot coming out pretty unscathed anyways.
>>740962329And? He said survived, not thrived.
>>740961926blazblue?
>>740962131>>740962170>>740962225that riot paycheck better be worth it
>casually mindbreak /v/
>>740962170i can believe this cause strivers always look for an excuse not to play fighting games
>2xko at FF DQ rate>30%>2xko at evo japan dq rate>30%>2xko at evo vegas dq ratewell there is a pattern
Samefag schizo timmy came here to spam about his boogeyman 2xko
>>740961967You call being above everything except SF, Tekken, the game that offered to give a free Evo ticket if you signed up for it and 2xko(bribing with skins if you signed up) low?
>>740962760only schizo here is the one that imagines this "timmy" poster
So who stands to be this butthurt that 2XKO lives? I won't touch that shit because it offends the fuck outta me with needing vanguard, its shitty roster choices, and killing rising thunder, but I still wouldn't make shit up and bend over backwards to say it's dead like this nigga is
>>740955994Not installing chinese spyware Unconkable.Neck yourself
is there a stick that works well both for traditional 2d/3d fighting games and also platform fighters?
>>740962938theres a nigga on this board who makes it his whole personality to pretend that every fighting game has a specific boogeyman thats his enemy
>>740963084playing a platform fighter on stick seems wrong to me, but i guess a leverless would be fine
>>740962938>>740963085nice samefag
Also 2025 registrant numbers with drop or gain in percentages compared to 2026SF6: 4242-2414 (43.09% drop)T8: 2555-1354 (47% drop)GGST: 1514-912 (39.76% drop)GBVSR: 939-466 (50.37% drop)COTW: 1578-443 (71.92% drop)UNI2: 548-213 (61.13% drop)BBCF: 249-248 (0.4% drop)VF5: 213-112 (47.41% drop)VSAV: 47-259 (451.06% increase)Strive unsurprisingly has the 2nd lowest loss when it comes to players and cotw unsurprisingly has the biggest loss after that dq fest last time. But goddamn look at that uni and rising loss.
>>740963397>EVO events around the world so don't have to travel to shitmerica>drumpf raping the economy so also people are far less incentivized to travelnot surprising
>>740963397I'm more surprised that Uni and Rising have held on as much as they do honestly they're both very much fighting games on the way out.
>>740963267fgg has to endure him daily. mentioning 2xko is enough to start the show
>>740963397blazblue chads won
>>740961926I’m incredibly shitty, you don’t want to play with me
I think Darkstalkers 3 is the best fighting game objectively.>extremely easy to pick up and have fun>skill ceiling is high>all characters are unique enough with a dash of saucy brokenness>character balance is pretty good for it's time, tournaments are fun to watch>extra short combos>cathartic movement>aggressive gameplay without too much bullshit like in anime fighters>incredibly soulful visuals and aesthetics>almost no downtime even between rounds>ok musicThe only bad thing is the lack of Donovan, Phobos, and Pyron. The only game that comes close is Tekken 5 DR but honestly I never played it competatively and can't say if it's as good as we remember. Moonlit Wilderness was in standard T5 btw.
>>740962806The fact that Tekken 8 is that high and has more entries than Guilty, yes I am calling it low. When I use to drown in pools, anime fighters had a lot people, but over the years it's been dwindling and degenerate rejects have taken over, at least on the East Coast.
>>740963397>saudi turning people off>no one wants to go to a 3rd world country>us economy is so bad americans cant even go>its vegashonestly the drop off is expected and I doubt evo will recover, maybe if they piss a less ass place than Vegas, Vegas fucking sucks.
>>740963494>the emerency we need to make money NOW skinthe desperation is really funny
>>740962150you think those shills have any loyalty? They'll switch to tokon as soon as it arrives kek
>>740963397>VSAV: 47-259 (451.06% increase)this brings me so much happiness like you wouldn't believeit only took all the current fighting games to be bad to make people see how good vsav iswhy haven't you started playing anon?
>>740963843ashamed it worked on me
>playing fighting games instead of performatively seething about them is being a shill
>>740956634>+R zappa can infinitely backdash away or run forward from my standard pressureAAAH MAKE IT STOOOOOOOP
>>740964081>anon paid 20 dollars for pixels he doesn't even ownslap yourself
>>740964060i actually have, been playing bulleta and lilith
>>740963602>The fact that Tekken 8 is that high and has more entries than Guilty.You fucking see one of the 3 most popular fighting game series' in existence being top 2 as usual and only having a 442 player difference compared to GG and think that means low for GG? Also in what world do you play anime fighters but consider over 900 players for pools low? Pools have fucking never been bigger for any other anime fighter.
>>740962150yeah, invencible vs came and went, i wonder if its going to be the same for tokon and the avatar game. will they be popular enough to last a long time?
>>740961220>2xkuso>big 3LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, HOLY FUCKING RETARDED SHILL
>>740964449Invincible was never gonna be that big, its a popular show and the game probably sold well but it was cheap to make and not really that interesting for comp players, Avatar basically the same, Tokon actually has push behind it
>>740961220The founders of EVO also made 2XKO, advertising it as the biggest fighting game of all time and the savior of fgc is the most obvious move.
>>740959078>Granblue STILL has that many playersinsane.
let me use this opportunity to showcase the absolute type of specimen that not only plays but defends 2XKOhttps://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/542692024/#542947229https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/543088578/#543268467https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/553753906/#553870286https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/554619760/#554633056
>>740963843I believe this once they'll add Sona+swimsuit skin for her.
>>740964661It has an uncontested niche right now in being the slowest game available. Which is a weird thing to say because Rising is still way fast but that's where we're at right now.Feels like someone can come out with an only okay fighting game that's actually defensively oriented right now and it'd manage to hold players for years.
>>740964449Avatar definitely won't just like skullgirls or any other game with anime fighter fans at the helm won't but tokon is the combination of capeshit characters that look good and Japanese designed, arcsys style/graphics, and post dbfz and strive arcsys normalfag and competitive audience that shit is gonna last atleast as long as strive.
>>740961220>2XKO survived2XKO will be at evo and at most events because riot wants it to be, it will shoved in your face and take the big stage over anything else until the moment they stop supporting it and it'll disappear from existence in that second and will never be heard of again
timmy samefag 2xko good game spam more
>>740964661and it didn't even need to astroturf it's way in, like certain gamesit's an actual organic, grassroots game
>>740964661>>740964812Also free version to attract players, single player RPG mode, good graphics, big IP
>>740964838I don't think it can last as long as Strive even if it gets an extremely good start just because it's a license title. They'll probably cut support after two or three years even if it's doing really well.
>>740963591>extra short combosI feel this works against it. There needs to be more weight to each attack for short combos to work. Makes Vsav feel a bit spastic
>>740964661Did they ever make it.. like.. fun? Because the combo theory on release was so hollow and bottom. Didn't feel like an anime fighter in the first place.
>>740964935It might've worked against it in the past but there's no game with short combos right now and there's a demand for them. I think it might be one of the biggest factors in the game making a resurgence since you don't have any options in the modern selection if you don't want combo porn.
>>740964987>Didn't feel like an anime fighter in the first placeit was never trying to be
>>740964860>it's an actual organic, grassroots game>cygames keeping it on life support with their infinite supply of moneyuh huh
>>740965054Cygames does nothing to keep their competitive playerbase that high
>>740964935the weight of vsav's fighting is how scrambly it is, landing a simple chain combo is more satisfying after finally finding a good hit
>>740964987>Didn't feel like an anime fighter in the first place.Not him, but I don't think it was meant to, and I like it for that. I genuinely just want something close to SF but with cancels instead of links. Grubble is that to me.
>>740964987Granblue was never an anime fighter. The combo theory is as boring as it was at launch though, it's just the only option you have if you want a game where neutral is real.
>>740964987if youre looking for comboslop try 2xko
>>740965106I can see that, especially since being so skittery and scrambly works well with the horror theme and so much of the cast being monsters. I just still disagree.
>>740965034>>740965107Fair enough. But also totally contrary to what I want out of an ArcSys game. Turn again that's been true of every game they've released since DBFZ, so it is what it is. Not made for me anymore I guess. God bless UNI.
>>740963621nobody gives a fuck about saudi blud
>>740963591absolutely, but to add one point to the list that I think it's genuinely the most important and contributes the most to the saucefulness of vsav, is that every single character has no much extra stuff thrown in, all the unique interactions with the entire cast, all the unique move animations, all that extra juicy creative stuff
>>740963591>aggressive gameplay without too much bullshit like in anime fightersi agree with most of your post but this really isn't true, if anything it's one of the most aggressive and push blocking is autistic as fuck
>>740964579what push? Marvel? That's a dead franchise, and even deader in fighting games
>>740965467>what push? Marvel?ArcSys and Sony.
>>740964920It'll atleast get 4 years of support as dbfz did(daima is 100% not arcsys so he doesn't count even if scamco already took over balancing by lab coat's release)>>740964987Granblue's niche is being a boring piece of shit spray painted gold man no. Also looked at recent ranked distribution in games, what the FUCK is going on with rising? Is ranking literally just a tutorial that hands you the last ranks for free there?
>>740964449tokon will have more than enough of a stable playerbase.
>>740955994>>740959078>2xKO winning and thriving>Riot games winning and profiting>Valvepajeets are seething and fumingYep we won
>>740965569I don't play Rising but isn't this a really normal distribution for a fighting game at the end of its lifespan? A bunch of players who picked up the game but never got competitive at the bottom ranks, a handful of checkpoints people commonly get stuck at, and then the remaining players all get lumped up at the end game ranks because they kept playing consistently as match making shrank? Pretty sure every game that isn't SF6 or Tekken looks like this. I know everyone on MBTL is basically at max rank since the casual players fell off.
>>740964579>Avatar basically the sameNah, Avatar seems to push the enveloppe further than Invincible, it's probably going to retain a small population like some old arcsys anime titles
thresh seems comedically broken, is he?
>>740964579>>740965789Yeah Invincible was targeting a casual market to make easy money. Avatar is a case of "let's let the IP bring in casuals and design the actual game for sweats". It's closer to 2XKO or that Power Rangers game, though the budget seems small enough that it won't be fucked as bad when it hits its inevitably small market cap.
>>7409656251.080 entrants for 2xko will be our largest tournament so far. Eating good>>740965860Still too early biggest drawback is having a 23f stepdash (albeit with invul) in a wavedash game. You never walk only dash in staggers, tick throws, shimmy. Potential is there though
HUNYAAAAAH
>>740956163you're old enough to know better than installing riot's patented PC Raper 9000 on your system that will even fuck over other other software from working.
>>740965769It doesn't look too different from SF6, idk if you can drop out of B/C ranks in Granblue?I think Strive has the least amount of players in top ranks, with only 5% in Vanquisher, and the ranked system is fairly grindy
Avatar is gonna suffer from the combo of 2D graphics + small roster
2xko is the most psychotic fighting game i've played since marvel 3. teemo and yasuo feel like an 8ing character
why don't any fighting games just do an elo system from the get go, why do they do a retarded rank climb to get to the real ranked experience
>>740963397>BBCF: 249-248 (0.4% drop)Man, someone must have died. What a shame.
>>740964579>Tokon actually has push behind itTokon is fucked next year with VF6.
>>740966186if you looked at the devs of the game before most of them got axed you will see why
>>740966186That's insane. I get DNF PTSD just looking the word 8ing these days
>>740966258killakobe will not be attending most likely
>>740966220Because you attract casuals with a system where you only climb even if your win rate is negative so that they can post to reddit asking for congratulations for having reached master
>>740966179+ long ToD combos + kusoge level gimmicks e.g. jumpback divekick airstall divekick airstall stance switch divekick direction away to bait parry/antiairI love it though wishing for fgc to bitch less
>>740966186Yes that's because unfortunately there are dnf duel and bbtag fans on the team.
>>740966351All you posted is gameplay stuff, that shit doesn't matter for a game's success
>>740966365BBTAG was so much fun on launch. I wish the game lasted longer because matches were so fast and kusoge it was a great time.
You know you see indie 3S clones once in awhile but I've never seen an indie Darkstalker clone
>>740966186i've been watching videos on nen impact lately and that game might be peak 8ing. every character is a horrific overpowered mess
>>740966024>1.080 entrants for 2xko will be our largest tournament so far.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6pP0YO8KGQ
you retards really think 2xko won't have the biggest dqs since dbfz
>>740965789gonna break to you, nobody actually gives a fuck about how it innovates the genre, people play fighting games because they look cool.>>740965997>Avatar is a case of "let's let the IP bring in casuals and design the actual game for sweats"which is among the dumbest things they can do because avatar is an ip you pander to 30 year olds who doesn't give a fuck about those crazy combos>though the budget seems small enough that it won't be fucked as bad when it hits its inevitably small market cap.yeah thats its saving grace, it will make back its money with 10 copies sold
>>740966186>>740966448The thing with MVC3/Nen Impact as someone who never played either is I can tell there's a shit ton of bullshit, so you're more inclined to accept retarded setups or unblockables, it kinda makes me think of +R in a sense because everything is so extreme2XKO is mild as fuck in neutral, with very few options overall, but the pressure you can do is good to absolutely insane when you have to hold Ekko install okiThe two of these just do not mesh together well at all, the game feels frustrating and limiting
>>740966672>play fighting games because they look cool.not him, but Avatar does that and is also cheap
>>740966583I don't because I know for a fact that Rivals of Aether's DQ will be higher because so many people literally just signed up to it just to have Ludwig pay evo for them.
>>740966712Ekko install oki died a while ago Illaoi install oki is where it's at
>>740966767Rivals too I forgot about them
>>740966741>Avatar does thatnot him but. while I agree, most people think it looks like a flash game
>>740966741mechanically, ehh kinda, but its so cheap looking people will look at it and not get it unless they're truly hardcore into Avatar, and you will no doubt hear people ask "why didnt arcsys make it?" because arcsys is the true casual magnet.
>>740966767>so many people literally just signed up to it just to have Ludwig pay evo for them.While true, see:https://evo.gg/news/evo-2026-by-the-numbers>Meanwhile, Rivals of Aether II and TEKKEN 8 were the games with the lowest amount of crossover, receiving the highest percentage of single-game entrants at 66.7% and 56.2% of entrants who only registered for one tournament, respectively.Most RoA2 players entered exclusively for RoA2, not to abuse the free pass.
>>740964579I wonder if the MvC crowd is going to fuck with Tokon as passionately and autistically because I honestly don't think they will. MvC fans only play Capcom games, am I wrong?
>>740967289no you're not, if tokon succeeds it'll create a new fanbase, game is slow and marvelfags are born with adhd
>>740967289>MvC crowdAncient boomers already retired or moved on.
*Mogs fighting game defensive options*
>>740957935they cant make cute skins to save their lives lol
We keep blaming offense and speed for the death of neutral but most of a VS game is neutral despite how scrambly it is. The true culprit is setplay. We need to do away with safejabs and meatys.
it is kind of hilarious how sweaty 2xko ended up being considering it surely was intended to be a game for casuals
>>740967728Marvel retards (2xko devs) are too autistic to do that
>>740967289The 10 MvC sweats left are at 2XKO now. Real question: will former DBFZ crowd stick to it/move on/split. I'd imagine 2XKO scratches that tag itch better but they're somewhat of ArcSys fans themselves
>>740967870>I'd imagine 2XKO scratches that tag itch better but they're somewhat of ArcSys fans themselvesIt doesn't scratch that dragon ball itch. Riotslop is nowhere as "good" as DB.
>>740967941Ahri do be a Dragonball character
>>740967728I saw combofiend do his retardation turning the game in a tag fighter and a bunch of retard GG fans like yohosie joining or participating and knew it was bound to be a mess. >>7409678702xko is nothing like dbfz and the only thing you really need to get the dbfz crowd is look arcsys good and tokon looks damn arcsys good while also being capeshit which is what the dbfz crowd also likes.
>>740968091
Please buy Avatar and keep it alive even after Tokon comes out.
it's kinda sad to see those variety streamers in the 2xko slam having huge viewers drop the moment they go from their main game to 2xko. People outside the fgc bubble really don't wanna watch that game
>>740968649Man the delay on this game really sucks even though it's just a couple weeks. If it came out as planned it would've had such a good time picking up players before Tokon came out.
>>740968656fighting games doing fighting game thing
i'm kinda skeptic about tokon long term success. I don't think it will last too long and build a dedicated fanbase of obsessed autists like strive
>>740968963a game making it is the exception. prepare for UI is ugly, top tier is top tier, hitstop doesn't feel right, tag complains especially tag complains
>>740968963Marvel and Sony will kill the game 100%, both have retarded expectation for everything
>>740968649I'm not gonna buy a game I can't even play
>>740968963i genuinely just think it's trying to do way too much with 3 assists
How is it I remember Rick fucking Strowd? Dude is basically a nobody.
>>740969704He's kinda cool desu

>From a numerical standpoint, the largest crossover was between Street Fighter 6 and 2XKO, where a total of 436 players decided to sign up for both games.SF6 had about 2400 entrants so that leaves 2k who were there just for street fighter. However 2xko had about 1k entrants(and let's be honest 2xko's DQ rate will be astronomically higher than street fighter) so about 55% of the 2xko sign ups are there for 2xko. You'd think with a 75k riot money prize pool people would lock in. That's pathetic. There's no way in hell this game is coming back next year.
>>740961430I doubt it. RoA2 is only as high as it is because Ludwig is paying attendee's registration fees for entering it; but, on the other hand, the data from >>740967047's link implies otherwise. It's a good game that deserves success, but it's struggling to find that success. I think it's unlikely that it'll ever perform this well again at another Evo.Its problem is that, despite the competitive community being grafted to Smash tournaments, competitive Smash players prefer the cock-and-ball torture that is Ultimate to the designed-for-competitive-play platform fighter that fulfills 90% of their hypothetical Smash 6 wish list right here, right now:>rollback netcode>sensible online infrastructure>a consistent competitive rule set>cosmetic palettes and skins>character counter-picking in online matchmaking>stage-picking in online matchmaking>a diverse roster where every character is relatively competitively viable>clear, communicative patch notes from the developers>developers that actually care about competitive playBlah, blah, blah. In short, they won't play RoA because it isn't a glorified advertisement for a multi-billion dollar corporation's brands and IPs, backed by a tried-and-true "hype moments and aura" marketing strategy that demands constant collaboration with prestigious third party brands and regularly dropping CGI trailers that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce. If it doesn't have Mario and friends, they aren't interested. They prefer to play / watch 40-minute sets where two retards do nothing but circle camp each other.>>740968963If Marvel Rivals is any indication, the Marvel brand is still crack to normalfags. It'll get more than enough players to sustain it in the short-term and likely stabilize in the long-term. It depends on how approachable it is mechanically, though.
>>740969704for me its franco bash and bob wilson
>>740971115And if you think I'm exaggerating how bad Ultimate is as a competitive game, >>>/wsg/6171918
>>740971115No need for this victim mentality sob post. First of all, let's ignore all the people who would have legitime gripes against RoA2, like people who prefer other platform fighters because they don't like the Melee style movement or floorhugs. Or people who just don't want to play as antropomorphic animals. A ton of people wanna play it but can't because it's a PC exclusive that's poorly optimized and runs badly on lower end PCs. A lot of people never heard of it because it has 0 advertising. A lot of people wanted single player and casual content which only now they're slowly adding. Sajam tried the game on stream and got filtered hard due to the lack of tutorials, which the game now has but I imagine filtered tons of people who tried it at launch. Finally, a ton of people were fans of RoA1 workshop and are just waiting for the Steam Workshop support to come out of beta. There are more reasons for that game not taking off than just Smash players being retarded even if that's indeed one reason, and it's not even doing badly for what it is.
I like SF6 but I hate fighting against 3/4 of the characters
>>740968963it will do fine, Marvel games and Arcsys are still a hit among tons of people>>740971115>If Marvel Rivals is any indication, the Marvel brand is still crack to normalfags.the Marvel games are still doing really well, it's just the MCU thats falling apart because it doesn't have any of the big names anymore and the movies haven't been good since well honestly day 1 but they've gotten notably worse and endgame was the finale for the normalfags, the rest is just a drawn out afterparty

>>740972024I'm not discounting Samsho because of it being Saudi, I'm discounting it because it's dead.
>>740971597I hit character limit like an autist and forgot to get into these weeds.>PC exclusiveI think this is the biggest thing holding it back, but porting it to console and patching it once it's on console are both time-consuming and expensive. Even though it's piggybacking off of Smash tournaments, Smash tournaments are obviously operated through original, console hardware with a few exceptions. Smash players are, for all intents and purposes, console players.>Zero advertisingI think they've explicitly stated that they're waiting for the console release for more advertising. It is entirely dependent on word-of-mouth, tournaments, and other community events at the moment.>WorkshopThis is one that I don't think is going to work out the way they (or players) want it to, but they did just add support for sprite-based characters like RoA1. The issue is that 3D workflow is much more skill- and time-intensive than 2D.>Sajam / tutorialsI watched that stream. It was fucking painful - not because Sajam was bad at the game, but because he had 100 different backseating retards shouting in his figurative ear in chat. He was forced to try to learn a game that's fundamentally different from traditional fighting games in the worst possible environment. I believe they finished adding tutorials earlier this year, but ultimately concepts like neutral and movement just have to be learned through hands-on experience and self-reflection.>gameplayTotally fair. It's not for everyone. It's not my favorite platform fighter, for that matter.I've personally just come to the conclusion that while all of these issues matter, they pale in comparison to the problem presented by the game's biggest potential market being retarded.

>>740955994Same. Picked up Akali until I finished the challenges and to my surprised it unlocked Thresh and Senna. I thought it was just gonna be a token. Thresh is sick. I finally have some characters I give a shit enough about to play this game consistently. Took em long enough.

Old fight game nostalgia is fake. The truth is information wasnt being spreading as fast as 2026 internet. As a result people would LARP about players being "legendary" or "Gods". The footage you saw of them wasnt HD either and it wasnt alot of footage in general.Today I can follow Daigo's CapcomID and watch every single match he plays. There is no legend. No God. Just a good player. Hes was legendary back then because you heard about him and then you got see footage of Daigo in small volumes causing the LARPing. That's why no cares about MenaRD's legacy. Because there is no mystical legend of him in the Dominican Republic being the son of some Drug Dealer who took his talents to the FGC and became good. No LARP legend = no one cares.Prove me wrong boomers
>>740978883Fuck off retard

>>740979195Your opinion on things that happened before you were alive are not relevantI shouldn't have to explain this
Coolest power system in fighting games along side Blazblue and Guilty Gear. The story is pretty interesting but some explanations are in a seperate lore streams lol but overall cool. The characters are pretty nice RIP Roger and I love that even Hilda actually wants to avenge him and tried to find a way how to bring him back. Hyde had a hard life haha. Damn so Kuon and Linne are cursed. I like how most characters are actually involved in the main plot but of course being a fighting game individual stories are mandatory and the organizations are wild, Licht Kreis, Night Blade, Ritter Schild, EFG, Amnesia? Crazy. Next up the arcade mode stories and then go back to UNI2.
>>740963397>COTW: 1578-443 (71.92% drop)But why?It's a fun and good fighting game that constantly gets updates.
>>740979375Aaa forgor to set to difficulty level 5
>>740976767Everything else became more anime. Granblue is a game where most characters have no mix other than basic strike/throw. It ends up being less bullshit and less anime than even SF, so I guess a lot of people feel less frustrated when you can just hold downback.
>>740979382Every game gets a massive boost for its first year and then falls off. The biggest surprise to me is the UNI2 fall-off, that game has no excuses for a 61.13% drop
>>740977414GGs, it was fun
>>740979340You fags literally LARPed about players being legendary and you like MenaRD because there is no legend although he has proved that he is the Modern Daigo you still refuse to respect and hail him as your new God because youre racist and cant stand sucking off someone who can read and write in English. You niggers sucked off Arslan when he first appeared though BECAUSE THERE WAS A MSYTICAL LEGEND about there being God Pakis isolated from the Tekken scene and then Arslan even added fuel to the fire after he won his first tournament by stating "I'm not even the strongest in Pakistan" that made you losers jizz in your shorts. THERE ARE STRONGER PLAYERS IN PAKISTAN!?!?! OOOHH IM NUTTING!!!! But now that he's won over and over you Larpers have nothing to LARP about anymore so you hate him
>>740963397Strive still holding up pretty well and kek I wonder what happened to that one specific player in BBCF

>>740979664GGs I was getting knowledge checked so hard there. Relius is a fun guy to fight against.
do people really take this game seriously
>>740979846Why dont you Suck MenaRD cock like you suck Daigo cock? What's the difference? You like Japanese cock? Yellow fever nigger
>>740978883Partially true. Justin Wong would get nowhere nowadays, dude just dominates small scenes like MvC2, he is boomer Sonicfox. Daigo was good but not dominant for a long period. People suck the dicks of players who were good at a time where competition wasn't as good and as you said, a lot of legends come from a lack of information. But on the other hand, some players like Go1, Xiaohai and the Korean Tekken players continue to prove themselves to this day, so at least some legends are legit.
>>740979935Post-launch characters are considerably more complex than launch characters (Ekko notwithstanding).
>>740979909I’ve been trying to learn him lately, he’s a blast
>>740980152>Post-launch characters are considerably more complex than launch characters>The latest character releases for 2XKO are Thresh and Senna, who were released together on June 9, 2026what
>>740980030>a lot of legends come from a lack of informationThis so much. This was my next argument. Yes games were harder than todays game but 95% of the player base was terrible at the games because information wasnt shared so someone who discovered even 1 piece of tech could destroy everyone using that single gimmick and then become... a LEGEND
>>740980314did you read what those moves do?
I'm not going to call anyone a """legend""" because that's just silly as shit, but I'm also not going to pretend like modern games haven't been watered down and casualized to fuck, to the point where the gap between legitimately good players and people who can fraud wins out of others has been significantly, artificially made smaller.Literal children are competing and winning in fucking tournaments, and no, spare me the "prodigy" shit, you know that's not it.
>>740980384why are you being bitchy about this
I cachinnate seeing all those obvious paid shills badly promoting this game here.Bunch of retarded niggers can't make it less obvious.
>They had to make a SECOND pool party skin for Ahri because they realized nobody wants a covered up lifeguard skinKEK
>>740978064They are not it's definitely retards who for some reason excuse it's retardation because of it's visuals, either got burned by or just couldn't hang in their main games then retired to granblue like God knows how many strive players(who often played carried ass characters like happy chaos) or the guy under you. >>740978676>that requires much thought at all.Anon you know damn well that game requires about as much thought as strive at best and as little as Tekken 8 at worst.

>>740980696But I don't use a character that benefits from either of those styles?
>>740980635Every fighting games at EVO is an indicator of player skill. You losers swear these games require no skill and are braindead but then you yourself cant even reach god status in said game. Like if SF6 is a 50 IQ game then does that mean your personal IQ is 49 or lower LMAO. I mean at least make it make sense to me lmaoooo
>>740978883pretty much spot on
>>740980696
>>740980834Fuck off retard
>>740980467did you read what those moves do?
>>740980834It’s more that they’re more volatile and random rather than that they’re necessarily easy, but they are also easier
>>740981010so if you ran a ft50 with xiaohai how many sets of sf6 would you win?
>>740980902>Fuck it>Dragon Install SECOND>Health draining>Realized It's already in 1% health>gets chip damage
Game difficulty makes a huge difference. Majors winners are better than me but they're just doing the same shit I do on a higher level these days. I understand immediately when I see them what they're doing, but they land a combo more consistently, or they're better than me at reads, or their reaction time is higher. They're good, but it isn't impressive.The difference in old games isn't just information, there's tougher decision making and execution requirements. Specialists are going for plays that even other pros don't fucking do because it's risky and difficult or intensely situational. It's hype because I know I could never pull it off realistically. I might not have even thought about the move even if it was written on a wiki. I'm absolutely certain that if I played the best SF6 players in the world a hundred times that I'd take some games off of them. I might never win a single game of SF4 against the pros of that era no matter how many times I rematched them. A lot of the time it's going to be the exact same players I'd be up against too, but that's why the difficulty of the game makes a huge difference.
>>740981010But how can you literally say a game is easier to learn but you CANT PROPERLY LEARN IT and at least reach god status?? Thats like saying Automatic is easier to learn than Manual but you still dont have a fucking drivers license because you cant past the test IN AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLE lmao
>>740981114More than I could possibly win against him in a real game
>>740981241Exactly how are "volatile" and "random" synonyms of "easy to learn"Retard
>>740981114We're living in the fucking digital era. I've never played Xiaohai but I've beaten Punk on SF6 before. Probably every anon in this thread who's ever been only decent at a modern game has beaten a pro player at some point on match making even if they lose most of their games.
>>740981114If I had played and stuck with sf6 from launch, probably at least some. He definitely has way more experience overall than me but if I played it as much as I’ve played other games I could probably go at least 20-50. I’m not saying everyone who plays it is bad, just it’s not an enjoyable game design due to the volatility and randomness. Look at Daigo vs Menard for example, do you think Menard was actually the better player there, even if you ignore any previous achievements of those two, the set itself showed Daigo as a better player who still lost.
>>740979935what's your point here
>>740979935Now that the dust has settled, simplified inputs didn't actually do anything to make fighting games more accessible, and they didn't even really do anything to make them easier ultimately. Their impact on game design was basically just limiting inputs straight up and making characters less interesting.
>>740981380Those words can also translate to the car transmission example too as there are different types of engines with their own volatile and random settings even the same brand and model of a car. Why cant people like you just admit youre not good a fighting games. You can be good at A GAME But you arent good at fighting games. Instead you make excuses.
>>740981693You mean why wouldn’t you drive a car that magnetizes other cars to rocket towards you whenever you press the gas pedal, if you’re so good at driving
>>740980594Yes.
>>740981801Your IQ is dropping.We broke him D:
Anybody play alpha 2 or 3, I kinda want to pick one up but I dunno how active they are on fightcade
>>740981693I never said I am good at fighting games you retard, I am just rightfully calling you a disingenuous faggot for implying that modern games are not literally, deliberately made to bridge the gap between genuinely good players and people who are just good at cheesing wins.If you are arguing that is not the case then this conversation is pointless because you have to be either blind or willingly acting retarded to say so.

>>740984283There there dixxie, it's OK, your skills are realYou are valid
What the fuck even triggered this guy. I thought he was just taking the piss at first.
Not being able to win more than 2 games in a row is how you get garbage niggers calling SF6 "dix" lmao
>>740984441nta but calling it dix has nothing to do with liking the game or not. It's just the logical followup after calling sfv jive for around 7 years
>>740959078>big drop for a big tounrnament on PS5it seems the end of Playstation tournaments is coming, good riddance.
Not being able to win more than 2 games in a row is how you get garbage niggers calling SF5 "jive" lmao
>>740984576There are some people on this shithole who genuinely, unironically believe only one person on /v/ calls it Dix, and that the nickname is a way to identify him.That's the level of retardation we are dealing with here.
STREET FIGHTER 6 FUCKED MY WIFE AND RAN OVER MY DOG
needs wholesomes to balance the chaos rn
>>740983148what gayme
>>740984756Need (You) on my lap to balance the chaos and provide me with wholesome
>>740984756Sorry, I'll stop replying to obvious disingenuous faggots in order to not worsen the thread any further.
>>740984857What does small Tekken look like?
>>740984857is that knee at 6 seconds the one frame input one?
>finally got SF6 when the Year 1+2 Edition went on sale for the first time last week>it's p gudWhy did v tell me it was bad? The Drive system mechanic isn't even that obtrusive, I find it way less obnoxious than the Heat shit that Bamco raped into Tekken. It's a bit of dumbed down SF4 Focus mechanics, but it's intuitive and has obvious counterplay.
>>740984857>Tekken: Combo Extenders The Game>Dead Or Alive: Counter Hold Spam The Game>Virtua Fighter: Dick Punch Spam The Game
>>740985032schizos
>>740984756
>>740984756'grid
>>740985032>The Drive system mechanic isn't even that obtrusiveYou just got the game, wait until you get to master
I mean, let's be honest here. You guys keep saying modern fighting games allow low level players to beat pros but that has never happened. MenaRD had to go through pools for SF5 and SF6 and you mean to tell me that with all this randomness you claim to be in modern games you mean to tell me that MenaRD won the lottery not once, not twice, not three times, BUT FOUR FUCKING TIMES IN ALL OF THIS RANDOMNESS!?!?!?!?!?!? AND HE WON CAPCOM CUPS TOO!?!!??! SO MORE THAN FOUR TIMES OF RANDOMNESS!!!!I refuse to steep to your level. If I'm ass I will just say I'm ass. Not need to make excuses. I'm simply not great at Modern Games. See? That was easy. Why cant you do the same?
>"best player in the world">Look inside>"I win if I have super 2 on Blanka otherwise I get dogwalked"
>>740984923Yes, that's Akira's one-frame knee. You don't need it most of the time and is more of a flex tool than anything.
>>740985348The fact you know who youre going up against and dont counter pick explains the type of player you are. One who lost at the character select screen and still make excuses instead of saying "I lost at character select lol"
>>740985456>The counter-pick is "kill him before he gets enough meter for super 2"
>>740985283>You guys keep saying modern fighting games allow low level players to beat prosQuote one (1) post in this thread saying that.
How's my man Kage Maru play like in VF? I really want to try him out in the new game since I liked him so much in PJXZ2
>>740961220MK falls off hard after 1 year to the point games like Uniel will mog it
No matter what you retarded niggers say just remember that boomers were sucking daigo's cock when he could DP -> Trade -> retain all of his meter -> Ultra your ass -> Still has full meter for the next round. Like these niggers be getting caught contradicting themselves and they will move the goalpost lmao
>>740968649Fuck your water.Fuck your fire.Give me Suki.Or I retire.
>>740985530Oh so now its doesnt beat the pro it just beat (You) LMAO
>>740985653Kage, as the lone ninja of the roster, is a trickster with lots of cancels and deceptive range and angles of attack. Between his weird offense and his two signature throws, the ten-foot toss and the Izuna Drop, Kage excels at mixing you to hell.
The fuck is even happening here did this guy beat a friend, get called some coin toss shitter then came here to have his crash out?
>>740985886He's also blessed with fast offense, including being one of the few characters blessed with a faster jab than usual.
MenaRD.... super 2... nah that he aint good. He getting carried. But Daigo SF4 Ryu... dp trade... ultra... man that was high skill! Oh daigo our lord and savior. I have yellow fever I think I can only suck Asian cock
>>740985861So that's a 0 then? Not even 1 post out of almost 400?
I just realized I completely forgot who won capcup
>>740986083You can be blind. But being delusional? No, no, anon. No, no.
>>740985032The game doesn't really begin until master if you've had literally any fighting game experience before and the drive system is mainly DI reaction checks before thatIt gets extremely obnoxious and is a reason why SF6 is a "tiring" game to play because there is so much mental stack with slime, anti-airs, DI, etc
street fighter was never random and volatile before six
>>740986315not in an annoying retarded way where even kids are beating pros
>>740986315This is unironically good gameplay though.
SF6, the game anon cant stop talking aboutThe game that just hit a new player peak on steamThe game getting Tifa and officially has all the original first ladies of gaming with Chun Li, Mai, and Tifa all being the same gameThats the game these niggers keep crying about. Does anyone wanna cry about Granblue? No? Too busy crying about SF6 huh? Well lemme know when its time to shit on Granpoo because I need to get it off my chest
>>740986315I sometimes DP on opponent's wakeup too just to prove a point but I have never done it twice in a rowthe mad alcoholic lad
>>740985886Thanks for the breakdown but damn that's not my style at all lol>>740986018The fast jab may bring me back tho. I'll try and make it work.
>>740985653All I know about Kage is doing his funny throw that sends people flying for easy ring outs
>>740959078I cam here to say that RoA 2 is a dogshit sequel to RoA 1 and its fine if it gets a turn out but it's only bc it's melee 3 and Nintendo wont let the slop that happened with the smash community and their official partner go down again.Also the publisher sponsoring people going obv.I hate how RoA 2 doesn't play at all like RoA 1. It's just the same slop as always. It was cool that roa felt like melee but handled better and played differentlyIm holding out hope for combo devils at this point since it looks slick AND is taking the gameplay in unique directions for the genre, unlike roa2
>There are people itt pretending like they weren't in XB360 party chat with a friend raging about how volatile and random SF4 isWe changing the timeline now?
why is USF2 so ugly
>>740986536>only bc it's melee 3wtf is melee 2
>>740986602It has a graphics toggle iirc?
>>740986420>The game getting Tifa and officially has all the original first ladies of gaming with Chun Li, Mai, and Tifa all being the same gameUnc lineup
>>740986589This wasn't a real thing. I was raging about SF4 with friends but the closest thing to being volatile we ever bitched about was Ibuki vortexs. Everyone was angry about dropping combos, projectile zoning and Elena stalls.
>>740986602Udon are a bunch of talentless hacks. But it's also a modified version of HD remix and that game was under some heavy space constraints due to limits imposed on Xbox live arcade games on top of being a low budget game.
Is it even worth committing my time to fighting games when the prize pool is shit?
>>740986685Ain't not fucking way you played sf4
>>740986683>allLara Croft when?
>>740986727i just play them because i have fun playing them
>>740986742Anytime soon. However, it doesn't change capcom is chasing nostalgia.
>>740986727>is it ever worth it to play basketball if you are never going to join the NBAwhy do people ask these retarded questions only for fighting games and never any other genre
>>740986536I'm keeping a passing eye on Combo Devils myself.
>>740986727Don't make fighting games solely for competitive. Just have fun.
>>740986734Everyone both before the 2000s that played fighting games played SF4. In the first place if you were actually there for it the idea that anyone was playing it on Xbox voice chat is fucking insane
>>740986984nta but i literally played over xbl voice chat all the time during the SSF4AE era
Waiting patiently for the UNI2 patch and Zohar. Please kamone I'm begging you, nerf byakuya and hyde. Every other person plays them and fighting them is not fun.
there is genuinely no better feeling than noticing yourself improving at a fighting game. i can do blankas full damage combo consistently now and i can do some basic blanka-chan setplay. this is the life bros. i'm gonna need to drill lightning beast next, i can't get a consistent set up with it
>>740986315Pure skill, no bullshit.
>>740986420>The game getting Tifa and officially has all the original first ladies of gaming with Chun Li, Mai, and Tifa all being the same gameLara Croft and Samus >>>>>>>> all those slunts but for Chun when it comes to being gaming queens.
>>740987102t his is the first vf clip i've seen that looks skillful and not like 2 spastics mashing at each other (i know the game is actually skillful, its just how it looks to an outsider)
>>740987102Jacky's kick cancel feint is some scary shit
>>740987102is this offline or online
>>740987073based gameplayer
>>740986420No one cares what a Dixxer thinks of other games.
>>740987174Samus, Chun-Li, and Lara Croft are the three patron saints of video game females. I don't think anyone debates that.
>>740986685Ryu, Ken, Akuma all had access to DP trade bullshitBut you with Sagat.... Roundhouse Kick Roundhouse Kick Tiger... DEAD! Sagat had 1100 Health and 1100 Stun... WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING!?!?Akuma loops on all the large characters. At first niggas was like "but it hard" until they learned you can plink that shit and anyone could do it.Oh and the one that all Timeline Changers forget the most CAMMY HAD INSTANT FUCKING DIVE KICKS WITH NO HEIGHT RESTRICTION MEANING YOU TRY TO BABIES FIRST OPTION SELECT YOUR FOOT IS GETTING CLIPPED INTO DAMAGE!!!!! And it didnt require EX like the later versions. The nerf in later versions was that you had to use meter to do it. Let's not even talk about Shortcuts and all the OS bullshit in that game that made people think their were nice at fighting games because they could do an OS since the game was full of that bullshitI swear I hate timeline changers like you wouldnt believe. Also XBLive 8player party chat came out in 2008 before SF4 was even out retards
has joe higashi ever been good in a game
>>740987073Infinite skill ceilings are definitely an acquired taste but a very good one. To me rhythm games fall into the same category, I will realistically never perfect autism hyper XX weeb song ever but it's fun to see the percentage go up the more you practice
>>740986093Imagine if Izanami was naked in active mode
HARIKENPA
>>740987073>blanka>improvinglike getting better at eating glue
>>740987373he's both easy and hard, he's easy because his normals are broken as fuck but doing anything more complicated than just playing neutral is really difficult. its why despite being top 3 in the game the only really notable blanka is menard
>>740987310He's good in.........huhI don't think he's bad in anything I've played, but if we are defining "good" as in "significantly better than average" then no, I can't really think of any examples.How is he in CotW? I very rarely run into Joe players, which is an answer in and of itself I guess.
>>740987373i hate blanka lvl 2 as much as the next person but he's definitely not easy to play effectively at a high level. it's not like luke in season 1 who was the best character in the game AND easy to play and do well with
>>740987373if blanka is a glue eater character then why is mena RD the only one doing anything with him?>inb4 he's fat of course he eats
>>740987506The funniest thing is that Preecha is good. Dude trains this kid and she's immediately better than him at his own art
>>740987506i'm pretty sure he's bottom of the tier list with jae hoon in cotw which is why i asked lol
>>740987557Have you seen him? Nobody is eating more glue than him.
>>740987073I dont feel improvement because im naturally better than 99% of the FGC and I only lose to pros and high level players. So its been decades since I felt an increase in my power level.
>>740987557he's fat of course he eats
>>740987579Damn...>>740987574Low-tier character but top-tier teacher I guess kek
if we want to talk about truly braindead top tiers in current games who you can learn in one afternoon>mai>sagat>wolfgang krauser>preecha>bison
>>740987238blanka chan makes me smile
>>740987762styling on people with the funko pop ftw
I hope Kamone realizes that he needs to quit trying to cater to old audiences and start making a modern anime fighting game that will rival ArcSys stuff. His company is the anime SNK. No one cares about their games but we want the characters in the bigger company games. The only reason we even know frenchbread is thanks to Mori considering them in BBTAG. People said that game sucks and it still manage to out sell Under Night.
>>740987725Can you do half circle motions?Congratulations! you already know how to play Goldlewis
>>740987861bbtag sold extremely well, it sold more than most fighting games at the time
>>740987918>all the people who cried about it only being blazblue in name still bought the game What was the point im crying about it?
