The Obama's philosophy of doing free work to boost Japanese corpo IP so you could leech off of it in a symbiosis is clashing with Hook's hot red blooded American entitlement that the world owes them everything It's like watching ancient Greek philosophers debate

To a lot of people

Capcom fighters dead = fighting games are dead.

Like if SF6 died right now that means the FGC is dead

sadly tokon really is dead.
this coming from someone who really enjoyed it for the first 200 hours and still jump in now and then for match. there really is barely anyone playing it and honestly active tag really is gay af.

nta, but before SFIV, fighting games were not main stream all. No big tourmates like you see today. Just grassroots stuff. Late PS2 to early PS3/XB360 was a bit of a low point for fighting games when it came to mass appeal.
>>
>>748020895
not before 2xko steals both their thunders with the ultimate engoodening.
>>
>>748021005
yea I agree that fighting games are more popular now than ever but thats not what the conversation is about. its about /v faggots regurgitating the retarded claim of the “dark ages” of fighting games they heard from their favorite fagtuber and how its all nonsense.

This wouldn't have bothered me if Granblue didn't fucking EoS on the same day they finally fix 66L and BC knockdowns

If this nigga shills your fighting game its a sign that is going to die
>>
>>748021209
Yeah, "Dark Ages" is a bit of an overgeneration. Fighting games weren't dead. It was just a low point for the genre when it came to main stream appeal.
>>
>>748021420
Did he ever fill the chipotle meter?
>>
We're already in another dark ages where the effects of accessibility and casual-friendly games only exist in modern games
>>
Here's the actual truth for you retard.

The "dark ages" refers to Capfags coping with their favorite company who was in 1st place now being in last place. When the PS2 came out it was a huge leap in graphical fidelity. In fact it's the biggest leap ever. And around 99% of people wanted 3D games. Capcom was in the lead so they decided to keep making 2D games... since they were cocky and in the lead. That backfired immediately. SNK not wanted to be beaten by their sister kept making 2D fighting games too. And that backfired for them as well. In fact even in the JRPG genre 2D JRPGs at that time were seen as "old and outdated" by many reviewers.

Basically no one wanted 2D, everyone wanted 3D for their new powerful as fuck Playstation 2.

And so... the Tekken series, DOA series, even the Virtua Fighter series saw their HIGHEST PROFITS EVER. DOA2 was on Dreamcast and PS2. But then the superior version DOA2Ultimate was exclusive to Xbox. DOA2U outsold both the Dreamcast and the PS2 ver COMBINED!! AND IT WAS ONLY ON A FUCKING XBOX. Then DOA3 was exclusive to Xbox and the same thing. Also Xbox got DOA1Ultimate. Tekken and Virtua Fighter wasn't even on Xbox they were exclusive to PS2 and every version of those games reached it's sale goal.

*note* Literally every single 3D fighting game from the 6th generation has a "Greatest Hits/Platinum Hits" Edition that is only possible if you reach a certain sales goal.


So yeah fighting game weren't dead you fucking idiots. Capcom just did not want to adapt to the 3D graphics at that time and so their games all flops. You could say they were "2DSlop" back then lmao
>>
>>748015845
>Blazblue? It's dead
Literally the biggest "legacy" fighter and still bigger than more modern slop like UNI or Melty.
>>
>>748021546
not even that bro, MvC2 was huge and so was Capcom Vs Snk 2. I had thousands of hours in CvsS2 on the first xbox live, I met this kid from Massachusetts in there and we were rivals playing it daily for the longest. then you have all the really normie fg which were also huge such as the 3d Mortal Kombats.
this retarted claims of le dark ages is all around stupid af
>>
>>748021750
Capcom was still in first place during that time, do you niggers really not realize how massive their Vs series were?
>>
>>748021420
He got hard filtered by Rivals of Aether 2. Does that mean the game has a long future? The dev just put out an hour+ video of him defending the least popular mechanic in the game.

Cool story bro

Capcom actually started a 3D arcade fighting series that is like the last reason people go to arcades during that time period by the way.
>>
>>748015845
blazblue is all you need
>>
>>748021976
I think you're misunderstanding. It wasn't a dark ages when it came to game quality, it was a dark ages when it came to mainstream attention. What you're describing is just grassroots stuff, not the massive sponsored tourmates you see today.
>>
>>748022101
That's not made by capcom retard. Try posting the sales of a capcom made in house fighter. In fact the 3D fighting game they were working they cancelled lmao the one were Ingrid comes from Code Holders or some shit
>>
>>748022230
bro wtf you talking about? all games could be considered “grassroots” back then compared to the popularity of the hobby as a whole now.
all my friends in middle and high school were always excited to play the new tekken or capcom vs series or mortal kombat game back then and none of us were hardcore players going to tournaments, hell bro doubt any of us were aware tournaments existed. how much normie did they have to be? those games also sold just as well as just about any other game was wasnt a massively waited release like a zelda or something. I really do think you faggots let fagtubers shape your reality way too much, but I know thats not all completely your fault, the jews are the hands pulling the strings here.
>>
>>748022735
>all games could be considered “grassroots” back then compared to the popularity of the hobby as a whole now.
Yeah, because it was a low point for the genre back then. A "dark ages", if you will. I don't know why you're struggling to understand this.
>>
>>748022872
okay then bro I see that you really are a faggot so carry on
>>
>>748021350
the dev team are in tokon now
>>
>>748015845
uni2 is fun
>>
>>748021976
The "dark age" is like the time period between CFJ and SFIV where people got bored enough to try SFIII again. That's only like 4 years which seems like a laughably short length of time with how long it is between games now.

I want to emphasize again at this point in time Capcom often had developed the #1 ranking game in Japanese arcades anyways.

>>748022369
Neither is SFIV, MvC3, SFxT, or SFV retard.
>>
>>748022082
Not a fighting game

why don't more people play +R

>>748025992
+R is scary and hard
>>
>>748025992
People can barely handle anime shit from this era or from the previous one, and +R is from like 2 decades back which means no dash macros and more limited cancel windows.

Too hardcore but it's for the best because it's a fighting game for hardcore chads and those who are brave enough to play it even for fun.
