i don't understand why anons here shit on the strive soundtrack so much, that shit is kinographyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNGTV92Y4O4
>>742286136I just hate that everything is vocals
>>742285852Every mainline SamSho after 2 introduced a new protagonist of sorts.>3 had Shizumaru>4 had the Kazama brothers Kazuki and Sougetsu>5 had Yoshitora>2019 had YashamaruI wouldn't say Yashamaru flopped especially being one of only three newcomers at launch, but in the face of new designs like Darli and Ruixiang, he had an uphill battle. It cannot be stressed how Darli was an INSTANT hit the moment her concept art (pictured) was revealed at that panel.
>>742286136Vocals in fighting games as a BGM are a hit and miss. Some are good, some are bad, some of them aren't even fit for it. Instrumentals are still better imo.
>>742286285eh i can see that as an issue for some, but i think it helps set it apart from other games. i don't want vocals in every fightan soundtrack, but i think it gives strive a unique identity
>>7422863146 had andrew https://youtu.be/cFi735RnCv0
>>7422863146?The neogeo64 duology?Warrior's Rage?Sen?
leverless sucks ass in modern games because you have to hit the diagonals unlike old games
>>742286314Cannot be stressed enough, I should clarify. But yeah, everyone loved Darli. She was fanservice, yet everything about her still came across as practical, including the straps and belts to hold her tools. She was such a nice design that Udon came up with an original character in their Street Fighter comic who was basically her modern-era Canadian doppelganger.
>>742286136they're ok standalone songs but I'm not trying to listen to a character arc in a fucking fighting game especially when older tracks are as fantastic as they are
>>742286314its crazy that the same company that designed darli also designed shun'ei, preecha and xanadu
>>742286461why haven't snk rereleased samsho6 with rollback yet? its the best in the series and snk rereleases fucking everything, we really got kizuna encounter and svc chaos before SS6
>currently playingTekken 8 , can’t wait for Yujiro>want to get into SF6, I really like Akuma>curious aboutInvincible VS, the comic has an interesting cast>looking forward toMarvel Tokon, I have fond memories of DBFZ>most hyped forVF Crossroads , love everything I’ve seen about this game so far
>>742286479Shiki's in there somewhere. I guess she counts, since she's tied to Ashura.
>>742286814SamSho 6 isn't held in as high regard as V Special, I don't think. Hell, that game even got a recent revision called V Perfect.
>>742286136Naturally with anime fighters being turbo tism central they are filled with people who hate vocals and absolutely detest all of the themes being vocals. Granted some of those themes are absolute shitters like bridget's and jack-o's but people who hate the entire soundtrack are likely a mix of the hates vocals entirely no matter what autism and the rational just doesn't think they sound good or fit for a fighting game.
>>742286814>PS4 Samsho neogeo collection has Samsho 6>PC doesn'tWhat madman in SNK did this
>>742286136It was cool when it was unique (Xrd Dragon Install). It becomes less special when everyone has it. Like if it played on 2nd/3rd round, that would have been fine.
>>742286136DISCOOOOOORDRUNS THROOOOOUUUGHIN SOCIETYYOUR SOCIETY
>>742286479Did you just google "Samurai Shodown games" that you didn't know just to fish for a gotcha or something because other than 6 which is a dream match those games have a new protagonist that's front and center. You wouldn't even have to play them to find out.Also bring back Suzuhime.
>>742286012
What's this relationship dynamic called?
vampire savior status?
>>742285852because as much as fags bitch about NO SAUCEpeople really like autistic karate man
Reminder that the best controller type is the one you have the most fun playing on.
>>742287395Back in the closet. Being this year's retro game at EVO doesn't guarantee relevance in the near future.
>>742287210Dang it. Well I did play 6 on PCSX2, Warrior's Rage on Duckstation and Sen on Xenia Edge. Haven't played the NeoGeo64 one because the emulation on MAME still sucks iirc.
>>742287429Decades of people calling Akira the most boring protagonist, and he's still gonna mog that mystery meat fag in Crossroads.
list of failed fighting game protagonists>alex - sf3>abel - sf4>rashid - sf5>ash crimson - kof>shun'ei - kof>diego - doa6>pyrrha and patrokolos - sc5>lars - tekken 6>taven - mk armageddon>shujinko - mk deception>we already covered samurai shodown>rock howard? does he count? people like him but he's in nothing but flops
>>742287556Even if I think original Akira is cool in his own way, Timeskip Akira is dripped out of his fucking mind.
>>742287395Still never getting another game or even acknowledged by Capcom outside of low quality costumes, mobile games(if even that) and maybe a couple times at evo. Sometimes.
>>742287753alex isn't failed
>>742287753Rashid didn't fail. Unlike Abel, he came back in the next game.Ash may have been the most annoying twink in fighting games, but at least he got his arc seen to completion, and his antics directly led to the next saga, where he eventually came back.
>>742287753Ash and Shun'ei didn't fail. They do fine within the actual KoF scene, their hate is mostly from people who don't give a fuck about SNK looking in and going "wow these guys are faggy as fuck"
>>742287753Isn't the kombat kids in MKX and MK11 have a mixed reception?I think Sin and Unika going to be the next new protagonists for GG unless they do a prequel.Rock Howard is cool though.
>>742288173i played the shit out of kof 14 and 15 and i couldn't tell you anything about shun'ei's character or story
>>742287340three stooges
>>742287340Where the fuck is Roger and Enkidu?
>>742288184The Kombat Kids took some getting used to. Kung Jin flopped out the hardest, but Cassie and Jacqui benefited from being direct children of series staples (Johnny/Sonya and Jax, respectively). Takeda is somewhere in the middle.
RGG trying to reinvent the wheel for some niche bullshit game that will never sell more than 100K copies. Their audience is in asia and they're marketing the game towards latin americans, which is pure jokes. I've made peace with the death of Virtua Fighter
So let me get this straight, you guys hate Virtua Fighter 6|CR because you were expecting a low budget standard fighting games. But what you're getting is SEGA going all out to compete against Netherrealm and Capcom's Singleplayer quality. The biggest budget SEGA game since the 2000s. RGGawds putting in that Yakuza work that scares everyone because if it fails SEGA may not recover like the Dreamcast era.This upsets you... because its not a niche low budget game. You hate how its attracting the casual audience. You hate premium games. VFCR was supposed to be a back alley trashcan water game. Not a $1000 Steak dinner.
>>742288507>Their audience is in asiaJapan only cares about Drive Rusher 6 now.
>>742288442Jacqui benefitted from being extremely forced and facilitating the most braindead zoner gameplay that even kids could wrap their head around. The MKX timeskip was retarded in its entirety, especially the kombat kids.
>>742288184>I think Sin and Unika going to be the next new protagonists for GG unless they do a prequel.They kinda blew up the setup rivalry with Dual Rulers
it was supposed to be the same corny reheated bullshit we've had for 30 years where you juggle people like mannequins and play corny characters like taka-arashi and lei fei
>>742288743I'm just saying if I can't play as THE BRAD SHOW, I'm gonna be very upset.
>>742288809You'll play his urban black successor
>742288594You're trying too hard and laying it on too thick. You're not getting my (you).
>>742288602Japan boomers still own Virtua Fighter, though Sega is making a concerted effort to help the rest of the world catch up.
I CLAPPED
>>742288809I always confuse brad burns with brad wong from DOA
>>742288908>rest of the worldNo one cares about VF and RGG games respectively and making a goofy favela-simulator will not change it.
In the history of /v/ and /vg/ no one has ever played Virtua Fighter. There has never been a Virtua Fighter general or even a small community like the UNI2 and BBCF threads. So who the fuck are you niggers? You fucking posers deserve to be shot from behind unannounced
>>742288809>Aoi lost to this Italian stallion in VF4 because he kept making passes at her, throwing her off her game>She's still mad about it
>>742288184>>742288442I think the Kombat Kids would've been a lot more enjoyable if they weren't a fukken package deal. Individually they're very well designed characters, but being a team feels way too saturday morning cartoon.
>>742288442takeda is the only kombat kid people like
>>742289201>Son of Kenshi>Trained by ScorpionNo shit he's popular.
>>742289081People pretending to care about VF now is mostly a mix ofA) The usual crowd that goes from new release to new release going "oh those trannies playing the big game are about to get fucked by what's CLEARLY some REAL fighting games," i.e. people that don't play ANY fighting games and just wanna stir the potB) There's a small and dedicated 90s Sega fanbase. You know the ones, the kind that get really pissy about how the Dreamcast was TOTALLY ahead of its time and a real 6th gen console and better than the PS2 you fucking chuds we would've won if we just got GTA III etc. etc. Acting like they care about VF is thus an obligation to them.
do you think they'll surprise drop alex with roger?
>>742286136By themselves they're good. But they have 5 hours of buildup in a game so fast, that they had to switch to ft3 rounds.
>>742289321He's not popular at all you actual retard.Besides, this is a fighting game thread, stop talking about MK.
>>742289398It's also just a symptom of the usual hypemonger shit from streamersYesterday Sajam was gassing up VF in his stream when we have seen precisely 0 actual showcase of how the game itself plays, just cinematic shit basically
>>742288712And that fucks my expectation on them for being potentially good new protags. But that's harsh right now because they haven't had their own game yet.
Do Helena, Hitomi and Kokoro count as failed protagonists? They were given a lot of attention in DOA 2, 3 and 4 but they never became bigger than Kasumi and they had her as the clear lead again in 5.
>>742289535You watch Sajam.
>>742286136I never understood the complaints about vocals. After a certain point it just becomes background noise. Vocals are just another instrument, after all. I can't tell if people are too autistic that they get affected by them, or not autistic enough that they can't leave words as just sound. >>742289497This is definitely more of a real issue, but it's with specific songs. Baiken's theme is awful to fight to because of it, and I wanna gut the fuck outta whoever decided to add I Really Wanna Stay At Your House unedited into the game. It's honestly such an issue that I get a major debuff to concentration when I see even just the cyberpunk colors, as it just makes me mad.
>>742289584Kasumi is always the focus of the main games no matter what new hotness they add. It's the bare minimum respect KT has for DoA. Though, Hitomi actually was the popular DoA for awhile even though she didn't hold up over the years unlike the other two.
>>742288809Sadly Brad has likely been replaced by the guy wearing the muay thai armband (the black dude) that is one of the four new ultra faggy protagonists. Who all look like shit. VF6 is honestly doomed.
>>742289584Kasumi is now a failed protagonist in my eyes because THEY KEPT SHOVING HONOKA AND MARIE ROSE AS IMPORTANT WHORES EVEN SIDELINED KASUMI AND AYANE AS THE FACE OF DOA. Or maybe that's just on the Xtreme games.
Alrighty there anonsHe just called out that he watches SajamThat's a pretty good starterRock throwers, will the e-celeb mention kill this thread
>>742289805There's always the masketta manhttps://youtu.be/D9LMYzN2SYg?si=8lQtAJi3FG_L3-8L
>>742289081I played VF5 on the PS3 with my roommate 20 years ago.
Anybody up for some 6LR? Bahahahahah
>>742289818I will never accept Honoka and Marie as leads. They are fine as comic relief but the way they try to make them important is so lame.
>>742289959thats lei fei
>>742290106I know it's possibly the worst fighting game product of all time but I enjoy it as a DOA game still. Even as the lesser game in the series, it's fun, so I'm taking advantage of this being the only time the online will be very active. I played way more than I expected as I embarked on a quest to become the 2nd highest ranked Momiji player on earth. First place is held by Hoodless who is the best DOA player of all time so I'm not reaching that.
>>742287753I unironically love Alex. SF6 improved Rashid too.
>>742289959>>742290282No one can agree if it's Lei Fei or a revived/cloned Lau or something else. Whoever it is has to be someone who gives Pai legitimate pause.
>>742289081i play one match of final showdown on the ps3 and got my cheeks clapped by a jap. i never found another match
it's time for you to start your leverless transition. time to grow up.
>>742290390I get it, you don't care, you're having a blast
>>742286314Yashamaru just kinda had a boring mechanical design.The double jump isn't enough to be special.Like Shun'ei is similar to him in the sense that they are both meant to be like "aerial" MCs and Shun'ei airdashes are immediately more exciting than whatever Yasha has.Even in SamSho itself Yunfei has that aerial gimmick much better implemented.
>>742286684Xanadu is goatee and I'll never understand this site's dislike of Preecha
>>742286136Some are good but some are REALLY bad, and the vast majority can’t compete with XX at all

>>742290516I will not perform 720's on leverless.
>>742287753Did Alex really fail if he was always pretty popular and liked despite being low tier? I think it’s more of who else 3 didn’t have
>>742290613>preechashe set off the troon schizos
>>742290542Yunfei's thing is that he's a wuxia character in a samurai story, so that makes sense for him.
>>742290860i find 360, 720 etc really easy on pad. i was a little worried about goldlewis move where you have to do a bunch of 360s in a row but its actually easy as hell to do
>>742289081>>742289398Hey man, I’m neither of those. I watched the VF6 trailer and thought it was a good 3DFG alternative to Tekken , Bandai has been slacking.
>>742290613her design is too vtuber coded for me, i just don't like that aesthetic
>>742287753Rock Howard will always be cool. And I think Ash got his redemption eventually.
>>742290956Not him, but personally speaking, I've found the most modern Xbox controller to be fucking amazing for 360s. They really figured out a fantastic design with the clicky tactile edges with a singular cap piece, but having it recessed in the middle so your finger can glide across the center or around the circular rim with no issues.That being said, I also imagine 360s and higher are a lot easier in modern fighting games, as IIRC even SF4 basically made them 632147 inputs instead of needing the true circle. Strive in particular is one I've also had a lot of ease getting the full Goldlewis out of.
>>742290830Can't find the JP ROM.
>>742286136its mostly capcomfags complaining about the competition again
>>742286479Japan asked for Suzuhime from Sen to be added to SamSho 2019 in some poll over there, she's pretty bland but they love their blonde women I guessThe antagonist of that game, Golba, could be cool in a normal SamSho game though
do people actually like this twink

>>742292126Thanks Sajam!
>>742292416Your reveal is only a voice...
i have a pet theory that the saudi prince's favorite fighting game is AOF3 which is why it keeps showing up at SWC and is getting new characters
>>742292515Their was a drawing too
>>742293052And that drawing was right before EVO lol
wait when is EWC that shit is soon right
>>742291252Ah, sorry about thatFor future reference, if you wanna use Vimm's, you have to change the filter at the bottom to show more regions and untranslated games
How bad is Alex in sf6, and how different is he from 3s Alex you think? Worth buying?
>>742292126>doesnt show trinity announcementblazbros...were fuarking irrevelant
>>742293495he's different, 3s alex barely functioned but people like his gameplay. in 6 they gave him a stance and locked a bunch of moves behind it and removed his charge inputs, personally i think he's fun as fuck in 6 but he's very different
>>742293495you just press down down for thug shaker stance and then press random buttons for billion folowups to random opponent out
>>742293495Street Fighter 6 has been a monumental success, selling over 7 million copies worldwide. It achieved this milestone in just three years—more than twice as fast as its predecessor, Street Fighter V. Its dominance spans both critical acclaim and explosive competitive esports. Key Drivers of Success Record Sales: Reaching the 7-million-unit mark faster than any previous game in the franchise. Competitive Growth: The game has shattered esports participation records, including hosting a massive 7,168-player bracket at EVO Japan.Massive Peak Player Base: At launch, it peaked at over 70,000 concurrent players on Steam, setting a new historical record for paid fighting games.Bridging the Skill Gap: The introduction of modern control schemes and the expansive "World Tour" single-player mode successfully attracted casual and entirely new players to the franchise.Rather than rushing into a sequel, Capcom has committed to a long-term plan for Street Fighter 6. The development team is aiming to treat the game as a living, breathing platform with a planned 10-year lifecycle, continuously supporting it with new character additions, balance adjustments, and mechanical fine-tuning.

>>742287051YeahSF6 had the right idea with the music evolving with each round, but awful executionFirst round's music is mellow, second round adds instruments, and final round goes all out, intensifying when someone is low health
>>742293495No experience with 3s Alex but SF6 Alex is more than decent, he's annoying to play against and some of his shit is oddly hard to whiff punish at timesGenerally has decent oki as well
>>742293495hes about mid tier, as he's missing bullshit like meterless throw loops and cr mk drive rush
nahh alex in 6 is kinda swaggy no? hes literaly me
>>742294004>and cr mk drive rushit's an autopilot button but some characters are high/top tier without oneyou also have Ingrid/Dhalsim cancellable crmk that are not very good
>>742294079wish i had a hot cousin like him

i have only one thing to say...SWAG
>he's posting the webms nowwell the thread was good while it lasted, pretty crazy how these niggas instantly show up like we're being swatted
>>742294314>>742294505why is your clitty leakin
>>742293571Emphasis on WERE
least its not tekken 8 talk
>>742286136Strive's soundtrack in earnestly corny, not bad far from it, but it is very earnest metal and the irony poisioned "too cool and detached" posters here and really anywhere on the internet will shit on it because of that, when really they probably enjoy it.Honestly Strive just attracts a lot of autismos that spergs out over it, from people posing as oldfags, to actual oldfags to actual tourists, they sperg out for really shallow reasons if they even have any.
>>742285852I too have women fatigue. On the western side we have face scan models with poor lighting, where they age them up on purpose to turn off any would be porn animators. On the eastern side, we have girls (that are at least beautiful) but they completely overshadow and neglect the males, or just rollout bishie twinks that appeal to literally nobody. All you are left with is an army of combat females on either side with differing brands of girl power. In the middle somewhere is a bunch of "gorilla women". A bunch of Marisa or Zarya likes. Literal men with tits. Or in Marisa's case, no tits. Just draw a man, call it a woman. I used to appreciate this joke when it was just Dragon's Crown's Amazoness. A tongue in cheek little "haha, what if the stronk barbarian was a girl!?". That joke is really fucking stale now. Even worse that many franchises play that joke straight now. It's fucking gay adjacent. Now that muscle girl fatigue is growing for me, and making me scoff at the notion of combat females in general. Samus Aran was special at her time because it was a genuine subversion when she first took off her suit. Wow! She's a girl. Didn't expect that! Now i expect it. Moreso than a male hero in fact. All the time. But it still comes at us with an attitude of "BET YOU DIDN'T THINK A GIRL COULD BE THE HERO!?". Boo. Get new material. I'm over it. So what roles should they fill? Supportive ones. The heroes love interest. Damsel in distress. Representation can fucking die. We are at the point where true to life, honest representation would be genuine subversion. I'm done suspending my disbelief for f'oids to be action heroes. They physically fought in no wars. They fail horribly in jobs that are considered heroic. It's just not real, and we have dignified them by blessing them with allowing them to borrow from the inspiration created by real life stories that were created by MEN. But, f they appear as combat females in fantasy media, they SHOULD send their best.

>>742293495I hate him here. No charge inputs, ugly animations, all his signature shit is behind his stance. He just doesn't really feel like Alex to me at all...no headbutts, holding down buttons to charge them is an annoying gimmick. He's a new character in the same way Cody was in V for me, mechanically. New character with the same name. I say this as a Kenny Omega mark.
>>742294189Not even brown. If you didn't want to fuck your cousin, it's because you didn't have a hot cousin.
Platinum is really fun. Cute and funny.

2xko hasn't added any of the LoL weirdos its all just human women so far
What have you uncs not become the guide for the youth? Their sensei, the old head they come to for knowledge about fighting games. Sponsor them so you can get your fighting game business started? No way you're this loyal to fighting games and you have not thought about making a career out of it from businessman PoV

>>742295316I’m not a businessman
>>742295316you're assuming that fighting game players actually care about their community and want to help new players get better instead of just bitching online about "muh slime rush" "muh no enough skins" or something equally inane
>>742295316I guide the youth by beating them
>>742295316Nobody good at fighting games ever helped anyone else get good
>>742295547Sell Merc, Controllers, Fightstick, Hitboxes, CRTVs for Retro, Carrying bags, etc. why is this hard for you?
how do we stop charge erasure
>>742295221we have enough weirdos in real lifeI wish human women were real
>>742295917charge specials were the OG modern controls and since now we got MODERN modern controls there is no need for charge moves
>>742295917Charge was a mistakeas was the DP motion
>>742296080In pursuit of fighting game accessibility while also answering the criticism of modern controls being reductive of game design, henceforth all characters will be designed around having 236, 214, and 22 motions only with generous buffers.
>>742295917we just wait patiently for simplified controls fad to go away
>>742289743>I can't tell if people are too autistic that they get affected by themYou might be on to something here.Autistic people have a different inner ear from everyone else, they literally have trouble hearing in the range of typical human conversation. When hearing tests are applied to them the otoacoustic emissions coming back are are completely different from a neurotypical persons and most lacking in the range intended for human speech.If you're thinking that having an ear that doesn't hear human conversation very well matched with a brain that isn't very good socially sounds like more than a disorder, you'd be right. It came out recently that autistic people have certain Neanderthal genes that no one else in the world has.
>>742295917play a motion character but hold down back and wait two seconds before you throw every fireball
I'm in the only one who's noticed how many fighting game threads there are since spring this year.Despite the fact that it practically acts as a general and the jannies never take it down.It almost makes me think the powers that be(and their shills) are pushing fighting games for some reason. If they are its working, since I'm more into fighting games now than I have been in a while.Why is this the case?
>>742296474lots of releases this year and we had Evo Japan last month and now just had Evo las vegas a few days ago, its only natural that people wanna talk about fighting games
>>742295917no holding back
>>742296474For better or for worse, new releases and events are always kosher on /v/ by any metric. It's why Pokemon threads are allowed during Pokemon release seasons but not the rest of the year.What has changed is that fighting games have become extremely commercial in the last few years and now we've reached the point where there is always either a major tournament in relevance or a new release in the vicinity.
People don't want to admit this, but VF6 won't succeed without an exciting new female bombshell character. Stella is nothing. Milf Pai is nothing. They need someone like Tekken Reina that gets people excited to play and draw fan art and shit.
>>742296839Vanessa is ready!
>>742296080Just do forward then down then down forward it ain’t hard
Just so you know the future is Granblue's 1 button special as the replacement for motions and opening the door for casuals to finally explode into the FGC and take it over while you sit and seethe as an old man
>>742296839honestly is more likely to fail due to RGG killing their reputation really hard and fast
>>742287340How did nobody say Doronjo?
>>742297103Stranger Than Heaven looks cool though
>>742297089I think Granblue did it best but I really feel like we've reached the point where 1 button specials are getting treated as a failed experiment in accessibility
>>742296474I don't see what's wrong with having a recurring fighting game thread on /v/. It's an entire genre, there's always plenty to talk about. Also the /vg/ one is unusable.
>>742297176>1 button specials are getting treated as a failed experiment in accessibilityHow so? Modern Mode has been championed since SF6 came out and you already know other companies are gonna copy capcom. I wonder what neatherrealm is going to do
>>742297176the casual push for fighting games has mostly been a failure
>>742297089I’ll just play Blazblue. I don’t even know how stylish works so I figure it’s not good.
>>742292126I cannot stand this faggots voice. How the hell did he get popular
>>742297220I remember the vg shmup threads. They were the most abysmal hellscape you could imagine(even reddit was better,considering half of it's posts were rogue like shilling that's saying something).When that was closed all of its bad actors moved straight to v. Why hasn't the same occured here?
>>742296474New games, rollback so you can play online, twi lumina news, uni2, Blazblue news of all things
>>742297484stylish kagura is funny
>>742297378Because modern mode isn't championed anymore. When the simple input trend started in earnest, the talking heads kept saying people who bitched about them were wrong and unhip. Nowadays a lot of the sentiment even among normalfags is that adding an extra button to control schemes complicates things without adding depth and a ton of the shills have turned.I actually think Granblue handles it very well relatively but I also think it peaked there. Rising was a game that was designed with the buttons in mind and made them feel good after Versus explored it and failed, but from then on iterations on simple inputs were basically trying to find ways to scale back from building around the mechanic. When you look at the titles that come after Rising they're all trying to scale back the modern control trend.
Galleon in Granblue looks fun but I'm not paying $35 + tip for a dead game
>>742297176>we've reached the point where 1 button specials are getting treated as a failed experiment in accessibilityno the only way you feel this is if you're someone thats more hardcore into fighting games than the average person, for them modern controls are really nice, devs have just realized that the casual audience need something more than just online versus to stay engaged which SF6 figured out by just doing what other big single player FG did before, custom character and story mode, that keeps the casual in the game.Also yes Granblue did it the best, SF6 is alright but not as good and I don't know what the fuck 2xko did but its just bad.
>>742297039I wanted a fireballbut oops I was walking forward at some point in the past 30 framesit gave me a DPThere is no greater illness than a character with a quarter circle, double quarter circle, and DP special all on the same button.
>>742297903just put the stick to neutral lol
>>742297785No matter how hard anyone complains the fighting game company will copy the biggest fighting game on the market. And last I checked 99% of upcoming fighting games all have the simple direction+button special move command so it's not going away anytime soon.
>>742285852WHAT ARE THOOOOOSSSEEEE!!
>>742298054Fudo leg guards!
SNK won
>>742298054unc.... we dont say that anymore
>>742297903imagine complaining having a fireball using a motion input while the hardworking charge character mains have to wait to use it
I'm too embarrassed to main Mai in SF6. Why did they have to make her the overpowered babymode character that everyone hates on?
God I am so hype for Tokon brosI don't even know who I wanna play as, so many of the characters look fun
>>742298287you're not a pro, you're going to get smoked. why do you care about what other people say, are you a closest faggot?
>>742295058>that hint of pantyWRONG
Anyone up for some Fightcade/Blazblue/Soku/Melty?
>>742298434who?
>>742298287They made Mai the most boring possible strike/throw character ever. They ruined her.
>>742297903I only have a problem with this in SF6, the buffer code in this game is weird as fuck, when I dash forward>2mk>fireball it gives me a DP most of the time,I don't even really understand how it interprets a DP from that with the 2mk in the between so I don't even know how to fix it

>>742299678do it or you'll pee yourself in your sleep in a random night from now 'til september

>>742299908it's not 20 seconds
>>742297089Hey man, Pokken did it first and didn't put the specials on a cooldown when you did them.
how strong is taokaka in cf
>>742299908I'm genuinely shocked how much shorter Blazblue combos are in reality compared to my memory. Combo inflation is insane these days, Blazblue combos end faster than fucking Street Fighter punishes and you spend more time in neutral than in Strive. I always remembered it as the combo porn degenerate setplay game of the 2010s
>>742300314nobody plays her seriously so nobody knows
>>742300274kusobeggars will really say "don't like SF6? play this!"
>>742300084I've mained GG games since X2 yeah>>742300359>I'm genuinely shocked how much shorter Blazblue combos are in reality compared to my memory.Absolutely fucking not, not only does everything convert in BB just like UNI but the base of combos without even using any meter are always, consistently very long>and you spend more time in neutral than in Strive.No you don't it's still a batshit anime game
>>742300204It's simple to learn even if it feels weird to play at first (you have lights, hards, unique and special buttons).You can extend combos with offensive cancels that cost meter but if you use the same moves it makes the combo gauge deplete much faster and i think it makes them do far less damage.
does COTW have fun combo trials and shit? I feel like it'd be a fun game to comboboar even if I can't find matches
>>742300359>Combo inflation is insane these daysTrue but that's mostly on Tekken 7, 8 and SF6. BBCF is still on the extreme end of combo length in fighting games.
>>742300720do you like ex special into ex special into feint into ex special
>>742299908>bitching about combos in 2026what more do you fucking want? they raped the whole genre just for you arcsys doesnt even make these games anymore
>yakuza money is gonna save the reggaeton mutt fighter!Little do they know the Yakuza franchise is barely limping along. 1 million in global sales is considered a smash hit.SEGA and RGG will always have just enough rope to hang themselves by.
>>742300720noone gets to have fun trials anymore after secondaries got filtered by xiii
>>742299908Don't eat a character's fattest punish starters then
>>742300359I still don't understand how people consider Strive to be an unga game with no neutralTons of pokes don't convert, only a few convert into good oki, you have several risk free defensive options, turns are short as fuckWallbreak returns to neutral, unless the offense spends meter and is locked out of converting most of their mixups
>>742299908>*round start suzuran*
how do you fight +R ky he has safe pressure resets like 3HS and 6K and has mixup with fb greed sever
>>742300187Will you play with me if I buy it now?
>>742301161>>742300084
>>742301230I don't care for tourist's answers
>>742300274Whenever people bitch that the top tiers in Blazblue are "hard", I always think they're full of shit because Azrael is effectively a top tier if they were balanced. He has a very simple gameplan of running high-low and sometimes left-right mixes but none of his buttons are obnoxiously strong. The best he has is his 5B and 6C for pressure, and while you can do combos pretty easily, doing big combos requires actual execution and being able to successfully pull off your mix TWICE because of triggering weakpoints. HE is hard to use. Not fucking Izanami, Rachel, Carl.
>>742298374It's right to an unfathomable degree.You nopan fags have Noel, fuck off(pic rel isn't even definitive, I'm just lazy)
>>742301069Strive isn't combo porn, likely has the shortest combos of any contemporary game even, but you really don't spend much time in neutral. It's true that turns are short but a successful defense in that game doesn't return to neutral as much as it lets you steal turns. The higher level a match is the less neutral exists in Strive, when you take the recent Evo top 8 there's a ridiculously little amount of time where one player isn't in an advantageous state compared to every other game we saw in main stage
>>742300904>Fighting games are all about combosHoly fuck you trannoids really are still here huhThe average anime fighting game does NOT have combos that long and you would know what the games are about and how they play if you bothered to launch one>>742301043Combo length generally doesn't get that shorter in BB, everything convertsNot to mention extra stuff like set-up specials and combo extending character specific resources being really easy to get off in BB
>>742301574>>742298374>>742295058Kill yourself pedo
>>742300204It has picrel, who was designed by nishimura-sensei.
give me knowledge that you play fighting games, there's too many shitposters and tourists and newfags here
>>742302549I love Ingrid
>>742302368Yeah, this game just doesn't look right.
>>742302549A certain character had a speed buff on their teleport in a certain game that was a bug so it got patch/removed in the later version. Most people did not play this game on PC btw.
>>742302798It's trying to recreate the original animation but it wasn't meant for all that fast, jerky movement

>>742301574>>742295058I would lick her loli pussy for hours
the casualization of fighting games brought in larpers, its over

>>742303258>>742303376hmm based
>>742303282So back in 2009? And now you're just saying this, lmao, you're a decade and a half late man
>>742295316>fighting game businessLmao wat
>>742303282People have been larping fighting games since SF2 and people have been accusing everyone else of larping any time they have a different opinion. We're the original larp genre.
>>742286136Most of the songs just don't do anything for me, and the lyrics being super on the nose engrish gets old after the first few. I'm also spoiled as a raitofag though.
I just like Ehrgeiz
>think of playing sfvi for a bit>mood instantly ruined for the rest of the nighti dunno why this game tilts me so much. i could only guess the amount of shitty fucking misinputs is driving me fucking coocoo.
>>742299274>check mizuumi wiki since its the only page with info on the game>almost everything is incomplete
I sense a lot of casual Blazblue players here which can only mean one thing

>>742303869What the fuck are you even getting at
>>742290613Tranny schizophrenia aside, I think it's just a matter of her base colors being pretty bad (especially the coton candy toothpaste hair). There's a reason her color 4 is so popular. Also, some people might hate her wacky characterization/backstory, but I'll never get tired of her saying QED in her hidden gear.
>>742303971The color next to your name will determine if you're a bottom sissy or not
>>742303801sf6 has this special sauce where every dropped input feels like the game personally reached through the screen and called you retarded. take a break or lab with input display on, half the time it's you mashing during buffer and half the time it's the game eating your soul.
>>742302549I think Yukimoyoi is a funny move
>>742286136My problem is that most songs have several curveballs in progression/tone/rhythm that I think doesn't maintain the right energy level for something you're supposed to be fighting to. Way too many songs have some fucking Bohemian Rhapsody breakdown that doesn't fit.I like vocal tracks, almost every GG vocal track from before Strive are songs I enjoy a lot, I just think that Daisuke has either gotten too experimental or he's flailing to come up for vocals for every single character theme.Aside from that it's also that the instrumentals aren't as hard/technical sounding as they were in the previous games. There's a lot of big orchestral/synthy stuff in Strive compared to something like, say, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQimBUWnnycIn general I like my music high energy and complex. There are Strive songs I like, but I like them in a much different way than I like pre Strive songs.
>>742294079
I love this little cactus like you wouldn't believe. Melty Blood is so fun, bros. It feels like a hidden gem that deserves more players.
>>742304521twilumina will save fighting games
>>742304521try playing kohaku in lumina lol
shujinko was cooler than lui kang
>>742304605Kohaku is my main in both AACC and Lumina. I like playing Mario, Kouma, Volv and Miyako as well.
>>742304521Trying to decide who to play in MBTL currentlyI'm betweenNoelNoelArcueidArcueidMashu
>>742304051Her colors look like shit, she's supposed to be the new gen trope replacement of a legacy character (Joe Higashi) and has a SHIT design overall which makes her look so fucking lame and forgettable, and she looks absolutely nothing like a Fatal Fury character, let alone KOF or even SNK in general. She does not even look like a fighting game character in the slightest, more like some western slop OC that you'd see in one of their Terarria like games. She's just ass all around.
>hisui is top tier>kohaku is mid tier>maids is bottom tier??????
>>742304270>Way too many songs have some fucking Bohemian Rhapsody breakdown that doesn't fit.To be fair this only got more rampant with DLC faggotry, but they are certainly noticeable once you do notice. The only good ones (for breakdowns in that style) are Zato and Chaos'.
>>742297159>>742304763>new gen trope replacement of a legacy character (Joe Higashi)????????????
>>742289081Not going to argue with that. DOA 6 shit the bed, Tekken 8 slides more and more boring crap in. Soul Calibur is lying in a coma its hard to get excited for a 3D fighting game. I'm just looking forward to Virtua Fighter CR does that make me bad?
it's cool you guys give games you never cared about a chance now
>>742304754why did you post the same character 5 times?
>>742286136THE DARKNESS IS PEE-ERCEDBY THE MORNING SUN
>>742304909She WAS supposed to be that but I guess they didn't like how she was received. Even then, the fact could still be true. Just because Remy in SF exists doesn't mean Guile couldn't come back. Unless you forgot Hokutomaru, Marco, Kim and Dong were all also supposed to be the same type of characters?
woolie and pat are shitting on blazblue getting an update
>>742304754saber
>>742305379If MBTL's cut ins worked like UNI where they changed based on the color you picked I would consider her because only Saber Alter is good
>kenshiro released>nobody gives a fucklooks like this guest shit is finally going out of style
>>742305432One of the top things I hope they fix in Twilumina. It's weird too since the universal cut ins don't but some move specific ones do and it seems to be that the pixel art ones are fine but the hand drawn ones don't. If they need to just remove hand drawn cut ins to make it work they should.
>>742305358Crusty rogs

I really do think this game will be a huge success. Especially as it comes out a few days after the new Spider-Man movie, people will fall in love with MAHVEL again.
>>742306613Tag games will never be a huge success
>>742306286It is utterly baffling that they made 100 different Sabers with each having multiple costumes yet Saber with a suit has never showed up in any place besides Fate/Zero. They even brought back her bike but not her suit, what do the people in this company have against women with suits!? I bet this is the reason why Hollow Ataraxia never got an anime, they want to erase all traces of Bazett.
>another massive losing streak and almost deranked again because of it.

>>742307871XX still has a better OST than everything Raito has made, though Current Code comes close. He got a lot less consistent when he had works in the HD sprites era and Uni 2 shows him becoming more strained for creativity with some of the remixes and new themes.

>>742310141you're STILL complaining?? it's not hard to jump dude. He can only hit you with it on block 4 times max if you're so deadset on staying put
>>742310892I'm going to be honest, Faust is just way too fucking lame in both Rev2 and +R to be fun to watch>>742311038The best in recent memory
The highlight of the Virtua Fighter tournament at EVO.
>>742311187Do you want an alive playerbase or a discord fighter where every player has 1,000 more hours on the game than you?
>>742310186Phonon is more accurately the install character now.Wagner is just stocks
>>742311187Street Fighter 6 is a good starter. DLC is greedy as fuck but it's the best for first timers.
>>742310848https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB0fA_1bleU
>>742311187Depends on what you're looking for in one. Would be better if you told us about your expectations of the genre.Third Strike (on Fightcade), Guilty Gear Strive and +R are all good jumping points imo. The first one is free, GG +R goes for literally just a dollar or two at times and Strive is generally cheap despite being one of the most prominent and alive games.
>>742311187There's three types of players>It looks coolest to me>It feels the best to me>I can't play a game unless it's currently popular
>>742311249Nage manages to make him cool
>>742311115The culture of this site is worse because of people like you who revel in their ignorance.
>>742311449Nage just labbed the shit out of so many different pogo combos in the Xrd days, they were always cool to see
>>742310848https://youtu.be/rYUwEk1Eczc?list=LL&t=7050
>>742285852To be fair and talking about your specific example, its basically impossible to try to out-protag the ultra-megalo-stud that is Haomaru, heck even Genjuro has a hard time out-manly-ing Haomaru. Although Yashamaru has a cool design its too covered, too protected, it doesnt convey armored character = cool, its more like 'armored character = please dont hurt me, above all things dont hurt my face!!>0<' type of situation. And even then its not the fact that he is all armored up, theres tons of armored characters that just exude cool and could potentially be leads/protags, Yasha-kun is just not that guy.
>>742311449He is a great player I respect but stillFD breaks are gayMost of his items, at least in Rev 2 are gayThe character doesn't really have an "oomph" factor so to speak to make his strengths feel or look good in general imo.
>>742311187unironically get fightcade and play a whole bunch of different games to see what you likedoa 5 & 6 both have f2p versions and granblue versus is doing a free trial of every character right now
>>742311681>haomarui was such hater on him being the last sc6 guest character and i was completely wrong, he's fun as fuck and cool as fuck
>>742310848>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zRxruGr8-o>19 years ago>my favorite GG player of all time doesn't even play anymore I feel old. I remember when Izayoi released in Arcades for BBCP he was the very first good Izayoi player.
who are the designated coom characters of UNI
Is FAB the only GG vet since XX days that still compete even in Strive?

>>742305548>kenshiroDo you expect zoomers to know who that is? Fatal Fury is an unc game.
I am shock!
>>742313049Just DP, bro
it takes me a long time to learn a fighting game character i'm at like hour 50 of blanka and only just started feeling kinda confident on him, i just hit plat 3 with him. i get a lot of people who one and done / plug on me which is really annoying though. it makes it harder to learn
>>742310848https://youtu.be/ICk8QE9LUUEAlternatively https://www.youtube.com/live/b4SuADZYn0c?is=Ta7lcgevfFM8OlEY
>>742310429It doesn't help that Tekken and Street Fighter are really bad right now
>>742285852Its harder to embrace the new when the old MC is the fundie character you've grown attached to for years of grinding all his moves n such.
>>742310848https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V3O9dDj4Ck>YAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Anyone wanna play Arcana Heart or Chaos Code? Don't lie and tell me you don't own them, I know you bought the bundle.
>>742285852how tf you gonna have a "protagonist" in a fighting game?
>>742305548Anon guest shit isn't out of style the problem is that he's in fucking fatal fury or an snk game. You put him in a fighter that isn't a not midling reception sequel of a decade dormant series, isn't a snk game or atleast isn't in a game that doesn't look like cotw people would be talking about him nonstop.
>>742312165Patience, babe. You'll have plenty of time to punish him when he has 0 meter and unable to frc any of his dumbass unga-specials. you know if you really wanna go apeshit you can just slashback
>>742313304Doesn't matter if I'm terrible at blocking and can't punish
>>742286136Because GG's soundtracks went from good '80s throwback instrumental hard rock with some neoclassical and power influences to awful modern buttrock with terrible Engrish vocals.
>>742287753Ash had a pretty cool conclusion with XIII
how do you fight +R millia
Grinding Blazblue again with the little free time I have is refreshing. I'm going to obtain a boyfriend again.
>>742315806Who do you play lil nigga it's not shrimple enough for us to say "just do X"Although knowing how and when to bait and defend the hairpin does help a lot, that is the strongest tool in her kit alongside the FD disc
>lobby has an AFK host that can't pass>lobby has no rematch limitBlazblue lobbies are awful
>>742316195I don't think Arcsys has ever made a good online system in their lives.
>>742316475NTA but I can concur that BB's lobbies are just somehow THE worstI know people shit on Strive but even that one was better, and I kinda liked the chibi lobbies of Xrd, DnF and Grubble+R is not too bad either
>>742314768I can play if you want
why dont people just use the global lobbies again?why did we ever stop going to NA East?
>>742316106venom she has good anti airs with jk, 5p and cS so I cant just stay in the air. Also I can't defend her mix. Her standing overhead can be thrown on oki with her disc tho I know
>>742316475>>742316549Wasn’t plus r done by fan devs they hired? Kinda funny they made a way better online than arcsys ever has
>>742316047>blazblue bfwhere do you find one of these?
I don't get why you guys don't play CotW. + Stylized graphics+ Combo freedom*A game with actual combos for once unless all the Arcslop+ Great mechanics like Just Defense that feel good to pull off + SPD mechanic that let's you choose if you want to be more aggressive out the gate or save it for comeback later on in the match + A fuckton of support + Rollback Netcode + CrossplayWhat the fuck is this game missing? Why doesn't anyone play it? It's the best modern game on the market. Everything else is anime baby-mode slop besides Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 which have their own issues but are still better than playing anime baby-mode slop. Sometimes I just don't get you guys. If you're a traditional fag that wants a modern experience all you have on the menu is Under Night In-Birth and Fatal Fury City of the Wolves. Both aren't played. Damn shame.
>>742316640get really good at IB. become very informed of where you can sneak a ball set in neutral
>>742316618I used to use the cabs all the time on PS3 and never touched ranked, even playing with my friends I usually saw them in the world lobbies, don't know what changed while I was away from the genre
>>742316686I'm down to play either. I'm playing cotw right now.
>>742316642The netcode was done by fans, as is the now reworked replay system. Everything else was untouched.
>>742316686i could give you a bunch of reasons but ultimately i was just burned by snk too many times and i moved on
>>742316686I'm too poor for video games
>>742316686feels like shit to play
>>742316686As an anime player, I just don't find anyone in CotW for me to pick up the game for.
>>742316640Just set balls to pressure her to actually try to get in, Venom can control space really well if she just lets you do that>Also I can't defend her mixYeah that's literally her main gimmick, there's no actual answer to it especially considering she can loop it on a hit or force a second fucking chance with that stupid fucking broken FD disc holy shit I'm glad they got rid of EX moves they don't belong in GG
>>742316758I just got the game and I am genuinely confused as to what the issues are with this game and why no one plays it. The game is colorful as hell, these are the best graphics SNK have pulled off in 3D and I hope the next KOF game looks even better. The moment feels good. Hit confirming feels good. Comboing feels good. *shrugs* I am confused as hell why no one likes the game lmao
>>742316562Alright we can play Chaos Code. I've never played it so I'm curious how it plays.steam://joinlobby/536560/109775241474111181/76561198263357716Hopefully that works. If not, just try looking for a lobby in Player Match.
>>742316686The soccer player and dj look retarded and I’d rather just play blazblue
>>742316943old 4chan would have loved themI hate newfags
>>742316686It's a bit homogenized isn't it? SPG also isn't that great of a mechanic. It seems like a good idea on paper to have a power you can set to your health bar to trigger when it's at a certain threshold, but all it ends up doing is making the middle version practically worthless because you could be combo'd out of it if your health stops right before it triggers, it's not as strong as near death SPG, nor as beneficial as round start SPG. Then you you have round start SPG, and once you lose it, that's it. What? That seems like really lazy design. If Drive functioned the same way, I don't think SF6 would be played as much. Not to mention, like many have said, it's a more glorified, personalized version of Drive Impact; it feels like a blatant, cheap knock off. The feint cancels add a lot of work to combos that can make getting good at the game really exhausting on the hands. Even in Garou they weren't amazing; but Garou had such larger damage/less health that matches ended fast that it didn't quite matter for combo routes for certain characters. The damage in City feels streamlined for the worse, characters generally do the same amount of damage on average. The Rev meter is also, again, not thought out and feels like a rip off of Drive. Use too much EX? You're in burn out. Only difference is you don't become objectively worse and take more hitstun because of it, you just lose acess to Rev Meter things. And for the game that keeps advertising itself as "rev it up", the Rev Meter ACTIVELY goes against you doing that as you suffer consequences for going overboard, and even going too high you're basically forced to wait until it's cooled down. I think people subconsciously picked up on that and found it as misleading/lame. City just feels like a halfassed game. Sure it looks okay, but it's nothing to write home about. At least Garou was more expressive and explosive... what does City have going for it?
>>742316686>stylized graphicsThe graphics look like shit to me, especially the effects lvl3's. >Terry and Mai are more fun in KOFXV>Tizoc sucks>Marco is p cool>can't just buy Kenshiro on his own have to buy the full pass>they put in Drive system>Discord fighter
>>742316917Downloading it now
>>742316917Make this lobby again tomorrow please I need to sleep for today.
>>742316904>these are the best graphics SNK have pulled off in 3DThat's an extremely low bar and a good chunk of animations are worse than indie tierAlso the release state was genuinely purely garbage>2 characters with E V E R Y fucking tool in the game, designed to be all rounders were just straight up broken to a point where apart from two other top tiers nobody could compete>The other two top tiers were also lame as fuck niggers who were broken for reasons that just don't allow the other player to even compete>None of these 4 were actually hard to play and none of the strong points were difficult to execute>SPD and the Rev Blow were just purely garbage mechanics that shouldn't have existed but they kind of dialed back the bad parts and reworked them a biiiitAnd then you still have some problems they never fixed like>Apart from like two characters all the fucking combos are actually the same unlike that retards post claims>A fucking random no name DJ as a playable character>Just generally boring and shite designs>The rollback is probably the weakest in the market>Offensively bad marketing with gay e celebs and AI slop spam
>>742317045Sorry just don’t like em
>>742316884but there's always a way
>>742317124>SPG also isn't that great of a mechanic.So people hated it in the previous game, Mark of the Wolves? I've never heard anyone except for you ever say something negative about SPG.>Drive Impact; it feels like a blatant, cheap knock off. SNK has always provided an "alternate" take on Capcom's game mechanic. It's their way of saying "we can do it better" and that has always been a thing since the beginning of SNK making fighting games as their the same people who created Street Fighter 2. That's why Capcom has a lot of respect for SNK and treats them like a sister company. No one has every had an issue with this. But there's nothing wrong to acknowledge it either. I can't really say if it's "bad" I don't feel anything wrong with it from my own personally testing for the last 3 hours. >The feint cancels add a lot of work to combos that can make getting good at the game really exhausting on the hands.The game prioritizes combo execution in the modern space where everything is baby-mode. I see no issues with this. It's a returning staple mechanic. It would be a problem if feinting wasn't in the game.
>>742316686I need GOOD stylized graphics. Like what arcsys does with strive or tokon, the last samsho game snk shotgunned in the crib with their stupidity or umvc3.>A game with actual combos for once unless all the ArcslopAssuming you meant unlike, what the fuck are you saying? All arcsys games have actual combos even strive and made for babies granblue.
>>742317245>the release state was genuinely purely garbagenew to the scene uh?the rest of your post is >opinions
>>742317916>PhoneposterBad baits anon the release version of CotW was on the very, very extreme end
>>742317045Old 4chan, ESPECIALLY old snk fans on 4chan, would've called snk extra retarded for putting them instead of literally anyone else that are either fatal fury characters or the two better guests they for some reason decided to make dlc instead of trashing the irl chucklefucks and putting them in the base game for free sales and marketing that actually worked.
>>742316686the problem with every modern snk 'revival' is that the games are too full of snk jank for modern players and way too modern for snk favelaniggers who will always just go back to fightcade regardless
Let's be real here. COTW shits on Capcom's graphics in the last 3 games. SF4 graphics are ugly. Everyone agreed with this. Don't even think about changing the timeline. Then they struggled early on with SFV's graphics. Only the mid to late DLC characters looked decent. And last I check you all hate SF6's graphics. And let's not even start with other stuff like Mortal Kombat's graphics and animations. French Bread's 2D artstyle is very dull and doesn't standout because all the fights happened in the dark with nothing is happening. Not even a plane flyover can be seen. There's nothing visually pleasing about their artstyle. Fighting Climax is probably their best looking game if I had to name one. What about Nen Impact. Tekken mastered the style that Capcom is trying to land. So If COTW only looks worse than Arc System Work's gawd graphics then what the fuck are you complaining about? On a tier list it's mid - high tier.
>>742317962>the very, very extreme endbecause of some overtuned characters at release?
>>742317916The marketing they did was objectively fucking garbage man don't kid yourself. If the worst thing they did was only equivalent to that one shitty eu strive commercial it probably would've done a bit better.
Last Blade 3 will save SNK.
