COTW has just announced another Guest character, Reina from Tekken 8, after just announcing 2 others a month ago. It now has 8 guest characters, the most guest characters in a traditional Fighting Game in history. Is this good for a game's identity? All these guests have done nothing for the game's sales nor population, so it's kind of a pointless achievement.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LvR3zarVP4
>>749295254Guests suck. Yes, yes that includes T*fa
>>749295254>Is this good for a game's identity?Most of the characters in COTW are "hey I was in a fighting game 30 years ago", the game has no identity
>>749295254Sex with Raina but I'm still not playing her game
>>749295254>SF6 Season 2 player count peaked with a guest (Mai)>SF6 Season 3 player count peaked with a guest (Ingrid)>SF6 Season 4 player count will peak with a guest (Tifa)What does this tell you anon?

>>749295863>SF6 Season 3 player count peaked with a guest (Ingrid)as usual, gooners are retarded
>>749296081>CYKE GODBased>ReinaVery Good>all that other sloppass
>>749295254>>749295951>>749296081>Tokon>COTW>2XKOThat's three games busted out from the reveal showcase gauntlet. I still think atleast COTW and Tokon would be actually shown in the tournament lol.
>>749295254>shitnalol>>749295863>shitfalmaoit should have been her
>>749295254They're really trying to push this cunt.
>>749295254Amazing how much post-launch content COTW has gotten. Might have more DLC characters than players at this point.
>>749296381No one cares about this shit tier character. Magik took all her popularity anyway.
>>749295951>>749296081Aren't the french having "the time of their life" right now cause what are the chances some protestor raid the place? Or Nice is pretty much a safe place for now?
>>749296173No one is playing sf6 to goon to Ingrid moron, she's a character that hasn't been in anything in almost 2 decades and people wanted to try her out
fucking jannies prvned previous fg thread for no reason surely and hopefully the next four days won't happen again since it's EVO weekend
>>749296742Make sure to put EVO FRANCE DAY X instead of FIGHTING GAMES just for precaution
>>749295863Fighting Games shouldn't have guests, but if the subhuman upper-management do decide they should, stuff like Terry and Mai in SF6 is acceptable. They're Fighting Game characters, and they actually fit into said thing they're being guests in. Ingrid isn't a guest character. Tifa, however, should not be in SF6. Not only does she not fit(no her being a brawler doesn't mean she fits), but she's 100% confirmed to just be an advertisement for her game that's releasing. Couldn't be any more soulless of an inclusion. Besides Tifa, SF6's 2 guests are the most acceptable guests in any Fighting Game. It's also only 3 guests, which should be 0, but things can't always be that perfect. COTW not only has 8 guest characters which is fucking outrageous, but 4 of them do not fit in the universe at all, in the slightest. Making it immersion-breaking, and extremely clown-tier. Mugen, even.
>>749295254https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdxF_iL0xeghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tqagZ7ui_kThe fujoshi will save COTW, I'm sure.
>>749295254I wish they would stop. I just want more actual snkl characters.
fadc on pad is really hard to do for me
>>749297123>Saudi investors like nigcel animeWhoa...
one sleepies till EVO France 2026
>>749296568the chances of a protestor turning a fun event into a mass grave are always 50/50, either it happens or it dont. doesnt matter where, doesnt matter what city or even what country.

>>749295254Oh wow finally a female character in the DLC season aaaand it's a guest character
>>749296381Lili used to be pretty popular, she already had her guest appearances in her heyday, Lili is old news now.
>>749299358They are struggling to keep the game somewhat alive, so I don't blame them for guests, even though KOF would have been better series for it, being a crossover by default. I don't care about the anime dudes, but Reina is a pretty decent addition that actually comes from a fighting game.
>>749295254Stop liking evil women
They should put chainsawman characters in nextI ended up not even liking the manga much but it would be really funny to see people's reactions
>>749295254Imagine COTW top 8 filled nothing but guest characters with no FF or AOF characters in sight
>>749295254>Fighting games are so dull that even the crossovers are the most safe, boring characters in the worldDark times for modern players
>>749301170Holy shit that anon jinxed it
>>749301170Ronaldo and that DJ were the most out of curve guest characters ever, and you faggots still complained.Just admit nothing will ever be universally liked, even the insane well received Yujiro reveal for Tekken 8 had its fair share of fags bitching about it.
>>749295254>COTW now has the most guest characters in a single traditional fighting game beating MK
Will Reina have her Devil form?
>>749301262It was too obvious with them having added Ken and Chun Li + everyone complaining about the game having no bitches + Reina advertises nu tekken>>749301365Obviously there will always be somebody whining when a guest gets announced, I don't have a problem with guests as a concept. I just wish fighting games as a whole were in a better state so that when we get cross-IP DLC it's cool or at least interesting like Kenshiro or Yujiro. Instead we get Rock dressing like Luke, 100 different iterations of shotos and dull attempts to cash in on flash in the pan shit like Lucy, Tifa and Reina.
Fighting games are dead.
>>749295254SNK really sold out when they became saudis, huh?
>>749301571lol no. she doesn't even get to use devil form in her own game
>>749301074>no Mr. Karate in sightFine by me.
>>749295254Oh shit Reina coming to Cotw in Dec might play the game again when she comes out.
>>749304983>He doesn't know
Imagine going from tekken 8 to a somehow even worse game. Poor Reina
>>749301365ronaldo was boring, he should've worked like Soccer Len from MUGEN.
>>749295254Doesn't this imply that tekken is probably getting an snk guest as well? Iori?
>>749305914Geese is back!
OMELETTE DU FROMAGE
>>749305085not sure which game has the longer combos.
>>749306263Tekken 8 does. Combos in COTW are short unless you are chasing out for a kill.
>>749303096
Taking akiras anal virginiry slowly and carefully with lots of lube so I dont hurt her.
>>749297015>COTW not only has 8 guest characters which is fucking outrageous, but 4 of them do not fit in the universe at all, in the slightest. KoF has the sports team and a character who fights with a basketball, so Ronaldo fits. We already have Duck King as a fighting dj, so Salvatore fits. Chun and Ken doesn't even need an explanation. Kenshiro is a martial artist with ki based powers like most of FF/AoF/KoF's cast, of course he fits. New literal who guys from some random anime are apparently delinquents who fight with martial arts, obviously fit. A character who doesn't fit would be something like: a multiversal super powerful magical girl alien goddess with universe destroying powers, like Ingrid. And yes, I do think Athena is lame too, but she's not as powerful and better integrated into her world.
>>749308157>A character who doesn't fit would be something like: a multiversal super powerful magical girl alien goddess with universe destroying powers, like Ingrid.Why do people pretend like SF ever was grounded?Even SF2 Bison is stretching the definition of "realistic martial art"
>>749308392You posted a boss, he's supposed to be outlandish. Even then, he's just a super powerful martial artist with secret Illuminati techniques and who loses to a pro wrestler, he's not a being who travels through dimensions and destroys galaxies.
>>749295863Ivy from SC next
>>749295863That people who hate guests like us are just a vocal minority. MK has a ton of guests too and it's the best selling fighting game series. Soul Calibur became popular partially because of guests. You can also just look at stuff like Fortnite. If you're a video game dev and you're not adding guests and collabs you just hate money.
>>749295254>Hey you know how we had one of the coolest guests in fighting games when Geese came to Tekken? >Imagine if for our turn we got some shitty edgelord bitch like Reina LMAOGod this fucking game keeps turning itself into a joke, WHY THE FUCK WOULD THEY DO THISNO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THIS BITCH EXCEPT GOONERS
>>749296081i guess theres not gonna be anything related to BBCF2027 and Trinity?
>>749308795Nobody cares about FF other than saudi slurpers and gooners anyways
>2xkos last 2 characters are boring temu versions of real charactersit ended as it began, a boring looking game without a single original idea in it that nobody cares about
>>749309807tokon lost
>>749309904Tokon objectively did not lose, Tokon unlike 2xko actually made money and isn't being shut down
>>749309807>a boring looking game without a single original idea in itSo it's faithful to its League of Legends source material?
>>749310056League had plenty of cool designs in its earlier days. Then everyone got redesigned into korean mmo characters.
>>749310056
>>749310145>League had plenty of cool designs>the cool design
>>749309807this announcement has been funny because so many fgc twitterfags are going "NO RIOT KEEP IT UP FOR ME!" and pretending that Riot were unrealistic, when Riot could've easily scrapped the game and gave it a chance to live, it just did so badly they would not even run it at a loss, which means it's player numbers must've been hilariously low.But the FGC are a bunch of entitled brats so it's not surprising.
>>749297284Outside of Rapenaldo and that DJ being added, the Saudis probably weren't that involved to be fair, typically they just chuck money at shit and hope who they're chucking it at is competent enough to make something good (and the current SNK director is an idiot). Also until SNK learns how to do good graphics their games will never do well anyway.
>>749310327why the fuck does he have swords on his ankles? why the splinter cell headgear times 3? what the fuck is that fuck ass WoW sword?
>>749308794If guests are so great and make Fighting Games sell good, then explain why COTW has the most guests in history, yet is one of the most irrelevant FGs out now. Dogshit sales, the smallest playerbase imaginable, not even the majority of pro players care much about it going by tourney entries, etcetera. Explain that.
>>749296568There are always protests going on in France for one reason or another anyway
>>749295254>character with the flattest ass in a series where the average girl already has a flat assKind of unfortunate but at least it's a girl because holy fuck man.Some of her attacks are pretty cool too I guess.
>>749310327More soul than the chinkslop modern league designs
COTW Next Guesthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gP3J--2-HA
Why are we getting all these announcements before EVO, and not during it? Seems odd.Also thread theme:https://youtu.be/Z9kZpFhhmFA
have you ever beat rugal in kof 94
>>749310556Maybe it would sell even less without the guests. I've seen people say they bought it for Kenshiro
The worst thing about Tekken 8 is that there's no story endings for new characters. I want to know Miary's story.>>749295863I thought it peaked when Alex broke internet with cousinfucking drama.
>>749312938She caught COVID and they had toSHUTDOWNEVERYTHING
The only reason i am watching is for him
>>749295680Wrong.
>>749312938Alex's release set the new all time peak player count and then Ingrid beat that peak on her release iirc
>>749313874SF6's popularity is growing in general because it's hit Starcraft in Korea levels of popularity in Nipland.
>>749314540shame all the new characters have been wack
>>749312938Miary's miarys are great but Asuka Kazama is still #1
>>749312938The story for Miary is that she's a mary sue waifu who is somehow the reincarnation of Ogre and that's it. Enjoy your pay to win slop.
>>749310327Yi is unironically swaggy. Just outdated.
why did tokon flop
>>749317218Retard.
>>749317218Because gameplay consists of shitting out all of your assists simultaneously and whoever can parse the visual clusterfuck the best wins.Also the PC version was broken or something, I guess.
this is the state of the genre right now lol
They should have done guest spam in KoF and not an SNK game with real canon and with whatever the fuck happened in KoFXIV again that it started having time travelers and dimension hoppers and dead people.
>>749317643They did that in KOF14 with all the guest characters from SNK's (at the time) chink overlords.
thought im in /trash/ for a moment
>>749317218-pc version doesnt exist and killed half the potential sales-both earning assists and wallbreaks are anti-marvel-1 lifebar when you have 4 characters is retarded
>>749295254Murray killed Tekken
Was there a recent-ish KOF fangame which included the characters from KOF EX2 or did I hallucinate it?
>>749295863>SF6 Season 3 player count peaked with a guest (Ingrid) Dumb fucking retard.
>>749314540I don't understand why this one became so popular over there, I mean it's not World Tour doing this is it? Is it the Vtubers?
>>749320007Could also be that Japan finally changed its retarded laws to actually let a domestic esports scene thrive.
WHY WAS I WARNED FOR MY THREAD, KICKING REINA IN THE COOCH IS A GOOD THING.
>>749320007Braindead easy to get into, with very scrub friendly mechanicsExtremely streamlined with little to lab at most ranksGood online
Remember when every game wasn't MUGEN. I do. I miss those days.
am i blindwhen the fuck is she in the trailer
>>749320007It's not just the vtubers, Shaka is bigger than pretty much any of them. But if you look at the timeline, I'm not sure it's a coincidence that after Matsumoto took over from Ono as producer SFV started becoming a niche streamer game. So when you had SF6, a much more streamer friendly game where everyone could get in on the ground floor and anyone could dick around in World Tour, a huge prize that made it appealing as an esports game in regions that don't win big money in other games, the old boomers that were already playing had all gotten into streaming so they could push the game on the content side and by collabing with mainstream streamers, etc. it all came together into something.By contrast Capcom USA's idea of promotion is getting Maxishillian to play for 2 hours when a DLC character comes out and throw the rest of their resources at an ironic 90s nostalgia movie.
I recently learned that, in Europe, Street Fighter 6 in terms of popularity is doing worse than Tekken 8. As someone who only plays Tekken I find this funny. I was going to pick up SF6 on sale, but I honestly can't really find a character that appeals to me visually. Maybe Juri and no I'm not a feetfag.
>>749322142>I recently learned that, in Europe, Street Fighter 6 in terms of popularity is doing worse than Tekken 8I dunno why when it is common knowledge that Tekken's biggest playerbase is Europe.
>>749320007It's modern. Modern is huge in Japan since they didn't instantly dismiss it for no reason.
I only play tekken 8 like twice or once a week if even that nowadays after the April fools fuckfest but I rarely see this bitch played so I'm confused why they decided to use Reina who damn well won't bring any newcomers or people who bought Tekken 8 just to play Reina. This could be a too high of a rank issue since most reinas are likely shitters but I still think snk is hellbent on picking the worst options when it comes to guests.
>>749312938> I want to know (one game wonder Tekken brown chick)'s story.You sad, stupid idiot. There is none the same way there isn't one or an ACTUAL one for Josie, katarina, maven, azucena or any t7 or t8 newcomer really. Even reina's is just a sad series of vagueposts and reminders that she happens to be related to the actually important characters.
I bought the D6 recently and I had some thoughts on it. This pad is very lightweight. Because the handles are so small, this is great for claw players. The dpad and the buttons are all micro switches, so they require little force again. Still, they're aren't so light they you might get accident inputs just by holding it. You can set z/c to r1/r2, which is very good for fighters. One complain I have is that there isn't a way to make L and R L1/R1 buttons on PC. Kind of annoying for older PC games that do not accept triggers. It has an L3 but no R3. A personal annoyance for me since I use those for training mode.I think if you want something for platformers and shmups this would be a good pick. It's good for emulating older games as well. For fighting games, I've had better. I tested it in multiple games, and the big issue was half circles, 360s and 720s. With half circles the down/2 input would get skipped sometimes. I tested it with other pads I'ved used before like the ds4 and the dualsense, and those preformed better. With circle input they come out way slower than on my other pads. I gave it a few days to break in, but they still feel slower than what I'd like. I think if you practice and are deliberate with your timing, you can get used to it.Now, with all that said, I don't know if it's the right controller for me. I learned fighting games with the ds4 pad and in general I'm much more used to a standard layout. I'm really not used to stretching my thumb out it hit X and A. I currently use a Vader 5 Pro for everything. I love the dpad on it. Maybe if I ever decide to dedicate my life to VSav, I'll learn a six button layout, but not today.Also, it's compatible with the Brook Wingman P5, both wired and with the dongle. If you want to use at a local, go nuts.
>>749322814>SNK is hellbent on picking the worst options when it comes to guestsand this is what we got when we asked for Tifa
GARUDA
>>749317467and it's still better than in the 2010s. this genre isn't popular the second you step beyond SF and Tekken. every other game gets played for two weeks to a month then abandoned by all except the competitive crowd.
>>749306959>less than 1kYou're proving him right.>>749317467Bamco needs to expand Tekken Series into something else.
anyone tryna play melty
>>749318194Reina is Nakatsu's creation lol.
>>749327386Reina is dogshit either way nigga
>>749327405Probably the contract for SNK was made before the Bamco Layoffs. Tekken socials and bamco don't give a fuck about the Collab.
>>749324512>and this is what we got when we asked for TifaFFXVI is becoming the superior product than a complete Remake/Sequel Trilogy of FFVII and FF Resonance is a better game than FXVI with a tiny budget.
this game has the silliest glitches
>>749328098I don't doubt any of those things are true but I still wanted Tifa because she's hot and because if there is ONE (1) thing Tekken gets right in terms of fan service, it's tits. Now she is getting HORROR ENGINEd and trapped in yet another shitty, westernized game I have zero interest in touching.
>>749323956i recently bought the 8bitdo m30 and the dpad feels really nice but it gets really loud on diagonals, which doesn't seem right
>>749295951Is there an EVO sale rn?
>>749317467>2 Ubisoft titles in the top 3, one of them ahead of SF6It's time to recognize that Ubisoft are the kings of the fighting game genre.
>>749310020>and isn't being shut downyet
>>749328098FF16 is becoming? They're aren't working on anymore FF16 material. If they did the world would collectively fall asleep because of how dull and boring it is.
cotw would flop whether or not it continued on with the guests or regardless of whether or not sowdeys were involved because the core issues with the game and company are still theresnk faggots don't want to admit that snk has issues internally or with their skill levels/talent, they want to pretend snk has what it takes and it's just conspiracies and circumstances setting them back, as they whine CONSTANTLY that people are cutting capcom and friends way more slack which, while partially true, is not the primary reason snk fails to capture any real audience and it's just another coping excuse to pretend snk is an innocent victim and not just a company that houses shitty developers and designers with no skill or talent and no directors with any ingenuity or intelligence
>>749296381>wanting Shiti in anything after her awful Tekken 7 designNigger trannies like you get the rope.
Wonder if those strangely out of touch saudis ever considered the simple idea of hiring arc to teach the old fucks and fresh out of college hires at snk to do their style like arcsys supervised 8ing with dnf diel. It's not like it's a well kept secret or some shit arc is willing to tell or teach anyone how they do their animations.
>>749331978YeahThat's REAL cool and allBut I'm still not touching DixI'm sorry, I just won't.

Three hours till evo france
>>749334716I'll get the wine ready.
>>749313874Unrelated but I desperately need more Alex and Ingrid porn
Isnt France getting raped right now
>order silent buttons for leverless>go back to stick 2 days later and like a week before they arrive
>>749295680I disagree, I think this is a lukewarm brainlet take people repeat to fit in.[Character] is no different from [Character from other IP] so long as they fit the series.See; pic related fits better than Ingrid into SF6
Max is getting cooked by T.Hawkhttps://youtu.be/bKGpHYq1phI
>>749336360I think Nice is safe?
>>749319752She is dummy.
>>749296173>>749297015For the past 2 decades Ingrid has been officially designated a guest character by Capcom -- a character developed by ex-SNK staff, on a cancelled game, that tend got retooled into a crossover game thst serves as Ingrid's actual first appearance until she guest appeared in SFA3 Upper.That's only changed with SF6 where they've seemingly officially lifted the "Guest" designation.Either way, who gives a shit? She doesnt fit Street Fighter at all. Ill never understand the goycattle mentality of "This character doesnt deserve to be in the game because... uh... they are currently owned by a different company!"So long as the moveset, tone, and design of the character fits, I have no problem. Ingrid fails 2/3 of those (tone, design) and arguably fails all 3, with her and JP's kits being NRS/SNK more than Street Fighter depending who you ask.She's more SNK than the SNK guest characters in literally every way, even in her original creator, given Terry was designed at Capcom before Takashi Nishiyama got poached by SNK prior to SF2. Meanwhile Ingrid is the opposite, designed by freshly hired SNK staff for a completely unrelated fighting game.I think the contrast in how Terry and Mai are considered "wrong" for being guests while Ingrid gets a pass shows how fucking retarded people are about guest characters.It's literal tribal goycattle mentality.
>>749337251nah
>>749305914Terry or Mai please?Most likely gonna be Geese though, he just fits as a Mishima rival too well.
>>749321778>collabing with mainstream streamerCapcom USA has tried collabing with mainstream streamers stateside though.They paid Ludwig like half a million dollars to do the EVO exhibition.The problem is he didnt stream his training because he wasnt literally forced to, and then at EVO shit on the game by calling it cancer for viewership lmaoThey havent failed getting ground in the west for a lack of trying, multiple times a year SF6 is in some kind of Twitch event, they just cant seem to stick with streamers and their audience.Tyler1 is the only one who has stuck with it.
>>749337434Yeah.This spawn of satan belongs nowhere near Street Fighter.
>>749337251You are stupid and autistic. CFAS was always a crossover game, Ingrid did not have her power up mechanic, shoot beams or do anything outlandish in other games, and her presentation in A3 is much more mysterious and only especially controversial for placing her power above Bison and Rose rather than explicit extradimensional reality altering shark jumping. G might have been crazier than Ingrid at the time.>>749337672Was that Capcom or Evo? Either way it's still treating the game as a one time gimmick (they also got like two weeks out of HoloEN) rather than something you do.
>>749337824>CFAS was always a crossover gameYes, and she was going to be an original character to that game.Just like Kyo and Iori were original characters to a certain crossover game, and are not natives to Fatal Fury or Art of Fighting and if they ever appeared in either outside of their background cameos, they'd be considered Guests and crossovers, not natives.Hm... I wonder if the guy who was making CFAS was also maybe the creator of KoF...Ingrid is a CFAS/CFJ native. Not a Street Fighter character. Capcom has historically agreed with this officially. This isnt autism, this was fact until Pedoyama decided he liked Ingrid so much he wanted to make her a SF6 character.>Ingrid did not have her power up mechanic, shoot beams or do anything outlandish in other games, and her presentation in A3 is much more mysterious and only especially controversial for placing her power above Bison and Rose rather than explicit extradimensional reality altering shark jumping.And? And? And?How does this rebuke any of my points that Ingrid doesnt fit SF6. If anything it sounds like you agree she doesnt fit.Even if they toned her down from her extradimensional universe destroying incarnation seen in SF6, she'd still be a third-wall breaking, mary sue, Athena Asamiya ripoff.
aaaaand EVO France 2026 is live starting in the main stage with the pre show. Pools in 30 minutes.

>>749339613nice, when will they publish the schedule with fighting games?
>>749296372Tokon could still reveal their next DLC character before the end of EVO France.
Aaaaand SF6, Tokon, GG Strive, GBVSR and COTW pools is live! Go nuts!
How do I get into fighting games? I have never played any fighting games except some very casual Tekken 7, and street fighter 2 as a kid. Learning to play fighting games seems like a fun skill to train though. What are good resources? There are too many online and I don't know which sucks. And should I go controller or pad? I have sf6 on steam so that might be a start
>all official streams are speaking baguette>no english streams so farI'll just ignore the commentaries
>>749340429I'll take literally any French commentator over James Chen and his horrid goblin-like voice.
>>749340130If they do She-Hulk and she's a modern muscle boss bitch, tokon can go fuck itself forever.
>>749340364>How do I get into fighting games?Just play one, if you can do it with a friend>And should I go controller or pad?Pure preference >I have sf6 on steam so that might be a startIt is the best place to start, ignore people melting over it, recommend trying out world tour since it eases you in to the gameplay or you can just check out guides and try characters in training or arcade mode before you go online
whens tifa?couldnt care less about the indian dudes
>>749340045oh shit there's SSF2T? Nice.
>>749340626she already has a stage model and it looks big and muscley, so i imagine her eventual roster model would also look big and muscley. since Storm's stage model is basically identical to her roster model.
>>749340863It'll be a new year present with her gameplay trailer as a christmas present
>>749340967damn
Which games are you following for EVO?
Fgc is still in death trying to gas up 2xflop, a game they will promptly abandon after the last patch
I'm not playing before they add Mai's classic costume in the game. Should be illegal to have her in a mainline game without the iconic costume.
>>749340961here's a slightly better/closer look at Jen.
>>749341190Avatar, Strive, Granblue, Asuka 120% and SF6 but only top 8
how do I stop azula from raping me in the corner
>>749341190Strive, Avatar and Naruto GNT4
>>749341190Grub, City of the Wolves and Tekken 8Maybe some Strive depending on which characters show up.
>>749340429
>>749342273new reaction
>>749296081You mean all the PRE EVO reveals so far? because what's going with releasing these trailers before the event?
>>749341205>waoww riot's pockets are deeper than other pocketsWhat a retard. The game appeals to nobody too. 2xko is what happens when your fighter doesn't have the coom designs to boost it, on top of their money being made from an audience which HATES personal responsibility for match losses.
>>749341706Sheep
>>749295951why the fuck did they make 6 more twich channels, I'm already following evo_1-6are they gonna do this for every regional evo
USF4 has a rollback application now, but is it vibecoded sloppa..? Can I play with Omega characters in it?
>>749343428Well there will always the main evo channels for english languages but somehow this time there's no english streams yet
So bringing Batman as guest to revive Tokon would be the ultimate move?
>>749341326Is MJ cute?
>>749344562Needs a boost from the new marvel movies i think
ah yeah demos are being recorded in evo france rn
Luffy vs Betty showdown is live
finally the official english streamhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLEFzaGrCaA
>try out DOA5LR>start and right-stick are swapped>triggers aren't recognized>game last updated well after the xbone releasedholy cow i have no faith in these devs. there is no hope for DOA7
>>749346389The game has a wonky xinput support and a shitty dinput support. Using steam input is also not enough which you also gotta use third party shit. It was not until DOA6 they finally give a shit on controllers. Still KT is ass at PC ports.
>arcsys actually listened to the feedback3 second cooldown on assist call (doesn't start until they actually leave)5 second cooldown on tag5 second cooldown on assists if they were hit during it
>>749346526Heh nice
Luffy is fucking washed is over
CONTROLLER BROKE
>>749346508damn I was hoping not being able to fix it with steam input was just a skill issue but it really is that bad huh
USF4 side tourney should start right abouuuuut nooooow... but no stream yet...
ok i'll take that back, i think luffy is back.
>assists guttedIt's his time
there is no USF4 stream :(
SF4 vet won
ft2 is such a dogshit format for sf6, every time i tab back to the stream they're on downtime
KWABETTY
GBVSR Top 8 up next
>>749341190I'm a busy man, so just COTW Top 8, then check SF6 and Avatar top 8 next week.
>>749347976>Me at Evo using the Thing vs the dominating GuardiCHAD
>SF movie PR pogging out about Ken's actor doing his fucking backthrow of all things
>>749346526I wish they went for global cooldown on neutral assists instead, people are still going to just mash all four assists at once
>>749296381truvke
>>749349546ogure ito's lili bride costume is fucking lit
GBVSR Top 8 is live
>>749347284I dont wanna hear any complaints about tekken characters ever again
>>749347284He's gonna replace taka arashi bet
dang it SSF2T is also off stream :(
>>749349389It's worse because that throw is cg. Like of all thee things. Hollywood can't give an authentic judo flip
>>749347284Phantoms?
>No EVO threadFighting Games are dead.
Tokon bros our response???
>>749353635That's because this is also an EVO thread unless you wanna make one after this or right now
>>749353635The port is miles better now, online tournaments allow PC again, but too little, too late.
>french commentators just making shit up about characters >no info on the matchup chart/frame data, keeps assuming the DPs are reads when they're guarenteed after blocking stuff like Bedman 2H
>>749337251Ingrid was classified as a Street Fighter character in Project X Zone 2. She’s a SF character and not a guest.
>>749352537nvm SSF2Turbo is live
>>749323956Is this better than the Hori pad?
>>749295680
>>749341383EX Dragon Fang
>disconnected>BUT BUT BUT
>>749354173The Hori Octa? Yes. Dunno about the Fight Commander since I never used that one. The one thing Octa has over the D6 is the bigger grip/handles which makes standard grip more comfortable. I like the buttons and the d-pad on the D6 more. With the Octa, the buttons feel too sensitive and I got accident inputs when my thumb brushed over them trying to hit another button. Might be a me thing, but I've never had that happen with any other pad. While I didn't have any problems with Octa skipping diagonals after I updated the firmware, the d-pad itself is not very comfortable. The material and the bigger size of the D6 make it feel way better.
haha he said merde
>literally no hype for EVO FranceDid they finally dilute the brand too much?
>>749357172previous two EVOs (USA and Japan this year) had some hype despite saudi's and shit idk wtf is going on plus there's less fg threads these past few weeks.
>>749355754No, the Hori Dreamcast pad.
>>749357172EVO viewership has been on decline since 2022. last year attendence was low as fuck too. International EVO is an attempt to salvage the brand
>>749346526they should've never have listen pro players and fgc cabal in the first place
>>749357172Tokon shilling killed the FGC.
>>749358164
>>749357750>No, the Hori Dreamcast pad.Never used that one so I can't compare.
>>749295951>No SoulCalibur but there's Shrek Super SlamBravo France
>>749358164It's MvC:I all over again!
GBVSR Grand Finals up next
chances of Blazblue info?
>>749295254im so glad this amazing character who is cute and lovely finally gets to be in a good game.
>>749295680Speak for yourself, I bought Steet Fighter 6 because Tifa was announced.
GBVSR Grand Finals is live
AVATAR JUST STARTING https://www.twitch.tv/evo_france2
Avatar is based.
>>749295863ingrid is not a guest dummy.and Season 4 has the lamest stupidest characters they could ever pick so of course the one well designed memorable character will be looked at SF6 DLC has been dumpster fire IMO. There are 15 street fighter characters that are missing blatantly to make this game better. They just pick the worst characters on purpose at this point I'm convinced.

I completely forgot EVO was this weekend, having multiples EVOs per year is so weird manis there a schedule for non-mainstream tourneys, perchance?
ajaaaah fucking reset
>>749359418>Mika nowhere on that list>not even on the "I'd even take" listAwful post.I don't want Mika to get DIXd either because she would just look like shit and play nothing like herself but still.

>>749359767(ghost) city of the wolves
Winner!
>>749359726fantastic, love you anon, I was trying to find it on their website but I think I was looking on the wrong place
I miss having thrust kick and crazy kicks in sfiv.
COTW Top 8 up next
>>749361212What the fuck man, I have to go to work...
>>749358714mmmmm low chance
COTW Top 8 is live>>749361381shit sorry
what will SNK reveal now lol
well?
>>749362524>english dub reinaI forgor Tekken is a native lingual franchise.
Funny how the reina COTW teaser has more effort put into it than both the Tokyo Revengers ones
>>749359580>>749359643Avatar 7th heavens is a great show so far. I like Nisha the most because she acts exactly like Korra.
>>749362524femdom sex with Reina
>COTW top 8 on day 1 OOF
>>749362524>>749363207
>>749363207Rooflemonger said the whole Tokyo Revengers was some Saudi deal so they just did it under the table and moved on
>>749363969post video
>>749363207Makes sense. Imagine being a cotw dev and being forced to quickly shit out 2 guest characters that no one asked for or cares about from a shitty manga vs getting to work with harada on a semi-popular character that at least comes from a fighting game.
Why is GO1 able to wake up with jab every single time? Is there no way to stop that?
>>749364081https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkGzRevrMRs
>>749362524>her voice is half the reason why people like her>decide to have her with an english dub
>play marisa and manon>they're fun>check Ryu out>funfail like a spastic doing link combos - I'm just going to switch to modern for the benefit of autocombos
>>749364201shit game lmao
>>749363969Does retard have proof or is this just his cope
they will ad anyone into COTW besides iori and kyo. I expect obama to be next
>>749365161>I NEEED IORI AND KYO I NEED THEM I JUST NEED THEM PLEASEEE!!!!
>>749365281yes actually. way better adds than half of the fucking season pass.
>>749365281Yes
After they decided to add Laocorn, I was hoping they'd add Panni too.
>>749365281indeed
>>749365502SpicSOVL
How do I get Skullgirls Season 2 for free? I’m not paying money to these new dev cunts.
>>749365161well yeah, aside from the guest roster lacking any cohesion it's still a fatal fury game. the only snk crossover characters in cotw are robert and mr big which is fine since the art of fighting series also takes place in south town
>>749365281If you want KOF fans then you need to add those two.
>>749365727man I would take a fucking samurai showdown character at this point
>Mikey and Draken? Yes please!>Iori and Kyo? NOOOOOOOOO FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOUCotWfags are mentally ill
>>749365628creamapi/smokeapi as usual?
>>749365910We didn’t ask for this, SNK did. They’re incredibly out of touch and whoever is in charge of marketing needs to be buttfucked to the moon
>>749365910>MORE SNK CHARACTERS IN MY SNK GAME???!!!1!!1!?!//! GET THE FUCK OUT OF HEREand they wonder why their game has no audience.
>>749295254>adding all these characters to COTW just for them to all do the same shit
>>749359418do you actually like sf6 enough to want to see those characters in it or could you just go and play all of them in better games right now
thoughts on this roster?
>>749366784Needs Dragunov.
Can you not punish light DP in City of the Wolves?
>>749310020>Tokon objectively did not loseDidn't arcsys want to turn this into a forever game with a gorillion updates?
>>749295254sweet mugen, bro
>>749366269Kill yourself soon. Thanks
>>749366784Lack of Dragunov and Feng are weird, I guess this was before they were considered mainstays
>>749363969who cares what that gay faggot nigger says
>>749366963You can but heavy dp breaks can't be punished sometimes.
>>749365161>I expect obama to be nextStreet Fighter already did that actually
>>749358164True
Imagine if they invited Clayton to lead a symposium on designing the perfect fighting game
>>749325136What was bad about the 2010's?t. Fighting game giganewfag
Bet redditors feel stupid now, huh? (again)
>>749368074Reina saved the season
Yipes was calling something haram and you could feel the white Muslim co-commentator seething
>>749368173How was he seething? He just laughed it off.
>>749368074The only good point about this is Laocorn. I mean adding a side material character is like very rare in fighting games and the only fighting games I know that does it before is Blazblue and Guilty Gear (technically).
>>749365473She was in the leak for next season.
>>749368074What did "redditors" say that this image would make them feel stupid? Also congrats on finally getting 7 girls what fuck is wrong with snk.
>>749368321>adding a side material character is like very rare in fighting games Does Id in Granblue Versus count? He’s from the spinoff game and isn’t even in the gacha.
>>749365281Yes you stupid idiot kof is the series snk players actually give a fuck about and adding them would actually get more short term and long term players instead of fucking Tokyo revengers' new anime season shill slots
CotW season 3 was a failure but there's still time to salvage season 4
>>749368510I'm talking about original fighting games so licensed ones doesn't count for me plus there's plenty of licensed fighting games that also adds side material characters before.
>>749366041best answer and still works
>>749295254I been playing tekken 8 it's pretty fun
wait tokon died already? didn't that shit come out last month>>749368760CotW looks fuck ugly I'm not surprised it has 0 players
>>749366249But Tokyo Revengers season 4 is airing right now! They're still current! They're still hip!>Season 5 featuring Ranma Saotomi instead of gender bent Terry
>>749365910No one asked for those blonde retards there's a new season of their anime coming out so the people with money thought to put them in as shill picks.
>>749349192>lowtierdale.jpg
>>749369826>person who never quits vs person who always quitsretard
>>749369998the point is he never admits to losing and copes about it>ya didn't really beat me!your IQ might be lower than dale's if you couldn't pick up on something that simple
>>749370097The difference is one is still trying to fight and the other would just run away and say he didn't lose
>every asian has retarded vision block boxes on their sticksFucking why? It wasn't like this even 5 years ago and all of those people are oldheads that were in scene for at least few decades.
Everyone keeps dropping their light confirms. Are they playing on PS5 with laggy monitors?
>>749370237hehe
>>749370235>It wasn't like this even 5 years agoFirst time I ever saw it was Madkof back in 2012.
>>749370237>Are they playing on PS5 with laggy monitors?Is it an open bracket fighting game tournament?
why the fuck does fatal fury get more content than any other fighting game? 4 characters per season is a fucking joke
So many errors wtf
>DP whiffedlmao
>>749370610Infinite money cheat code
>>749370610Saudi money
>>749368074something about snk's artstyle since kof14 is genuinely so vomit inducing
Azula is the only character that gets me going
>>749370849>>749370867am I supposed to believe capcom and namco are poor?
>>749371482Not poor. But different management and content priority. Or maybe I should pull the "Quality over Quantity" card.
>>749295254Why doesn't that video even show the guest character? Some promo.Also why is Geese glowing like a Dark Souls summons?
Are SNK niggers genuinely delusional?
I wish evo adds were just general gaming shit, daigo whoring himself out for fucking visa of all things is really sad to witness.
>>749370610Because the characters look like shit. SNK fans brag about getting a lot of characters, and they look like this. Unironically PS2 quality models. I beginning to believe SNK fans genuinely have the lowest-standards of any Video Game fanbase, let alone just within Fighting Games. There's nothing they won't accept from SNK, no matter how cheap and low-effort. Thankfully, though as we can see, the low-quality things SNK puts out never makes a profit, nor ever gains an audience. They rightfully are never rewarded for their mediocrity. Their fans are in the very tiny minority who accept stuff like this.
>>749371913>Also why is Geese glowing like a Dark Souls summons?Because it's AI generated
>>749371913Hello?>>749362524
>>749371927whats with 3s fags and being retarded
>>749371927kek
>>749371979its supposed to be some artstyle choice who knows bro just like ronaldo any one who plays that game doesnt give a shit
>>749371913he's a ghost
>>749371991Is that why it feels so bland?>>749372001I'm talking about that video, not this thread.
Did I fail the unc check?
>>749295254Why do people hate other OC donut steels that replace legacy characters & are forced down peoples throats in fighting games like Luke, The Kombat Kids, Shun'ei, Lars, Patroklos, etc etcBut give this tumblr haired bitch a pass?>Im a Mishima too! Literally Star Wars Ray tier.
>>749371927They are. They live in some alternate-reality where SNK is a relevant company that actually has any affect on everyone else, they generate any buzz whatsoever, and that there's actually some big conspiracy against them. Not to mention how Capcom/Street Fighter also lives completely rent-free in their heads. Not a single other fanbase of niche FGs and FG companies behave like they do. It's like they think it's still the 90s or something, when SNK actually had talent and was somewhat relevant, majority in the arcades.
snk genuinely killed all the trust/goodwill they had built up with samsho and kof15 with FFCOTW
COTW Grand Finals up next
GOat1
>>749371927I love how it looks in still images, they nailed the comic book feel. The problem lies with the stiff animations when you see it in motion, and the gigantic hitstop making combos take forever.>>749368321>I mean adding a side material character is like very rare in fighting games and the only fighting games I know that does it before is Blazblue and Guilty Gear (technically).Street Fighter did it. Karin is a character from the Sakura manga, and for a long time people thought she wouldn't come back to the series after A3 because they thought her rights belonged to the manga author and it would be difficult to get permission. Capcom also made Strider canon to SF with Zeku, and Strider is a manga character Capcom doesn't own either. You could also argue Ingrid fits here.
>>749370235Cause shits rigged with heavy collusion and diving.You think the sports betting plague hasn't hit esports where tons of money is now to be made and you have oligarchs directly funding shit?Truth is they throw and sandbag to get a nice payout from bookies, and it would look obvious if you could just see their hands intentional do nothing since its way easier to read for the audience than say a combat sport.
French niggas named their city "Nice"
>>749372957>I love how it looks in still images
>>749370962SamSho's art direction was pretty decent, but they've suffer in every other 3D game since XIV.I think its a combo of>terrible shaders>questionable lighting>inconsistent art/design directions>weird modeling proportionsThey really should have just taken a page of what made SamSho look decent and apply those lessons from then on.
>>749372396Tekken already did it once with Tekken 3 and Jin was accepted too, among others. For some reason Forrest Law was rejected though, and I don't get it because he's pretty much the same character as Marshall and looks identical. You'd think no one would even notice it's not the same guy.
>>749373023>city named nice>everyone's fighting each other
COTW Grand Finals (no ad breaks aight) is live
>>749368336The leak is a water user, it's Korra.
>>749373245why he look like he be fearing for his life?
>>749373271Unibros the time has come
???why is he crying
>>749372396Reina is not replacing anyone, least of all Jin and Kazuya. There was the "she's heihachi's replacement" shit that people said since he died in 7 except he didn't and now he's back and he's the strongest mishima in the game by far. And even before he was back, she only shared some of his moves with a completely different gameplan in neutral.
wtf is going on with GO1
>>749373438Forced to play cotw
probably all the meds the fucker is on
>>749373123Jin looks like Kazuya and had to work for his stars. He got his ass handed to him by Hei and Kaz. He even dropped the Mishima style and picked up a mundane everyman martial art like Karate in Tekken 4. Hell he didnt even defeat Ogre entirely. Paul defeated his first form.The Mary Sue bitch comes in one game and takes over the Mishima Zaibatsu and already is a master of the Mishima fighting style.You dont see her doing pic related. Yknow, training, working to get better. She just immediately sits on the throne
>>749373450>shit that people said since he died in 7 except he didn't and now he's back and he's the strongest mishima in the game by far. And even before he was back, she only shared some of his moves with a completely different gameplan in neutral.Imagine going through all that effort of doing the cutscenes for a story mode like that and then copping out in the next entry's dlc by saying that he was saved by some ninja before he fell into the lava.I don't understand the mindset of these developers
HE'S PUTTING CHEAT TOOLS
>>749373472His bottom on his stick broke.
>>749373576oof that's too bad
>>749373515LMAO got a good chuckle out of me
>>749373541Reina doesn't take over the Zaibatsu at all what? In fact all we ever see happen to her is her jobbing/throwing matches or deliberately trying to facetank a lazer.She's the least mary sue character I've seen in a while.
>>749372957I mostly play GBVS nowadays but I think it looks nice, not amazing though but good enough. Don't really get the shit talk
Reina isn't even popular in 8 why would they put her in FF? She's not even a slut. She's wearing a hoodie.
can't someone just borrow him a stick wtf
Would you rather get a spare arcade stick or fix your own arcade stick ASAP?
>>749373667Riiiight, thats why they totally didnt invoke the same pose Jin did at the end of Tekken 5 when they made it a point that hes now the head Mishima in charge.

>>749295254>Reina from Tekken 8Literally fucking who? 90% of all Tekken characters look the same.
I hope he doesn't get flushed after all that
>>749373921Legal in my country. Sucks to live in USA.

Your controller should be treated like according to the Rifleman's Creed
tekken 9 needs to get rid of all the flashy hyper particle magic bullshit
>>749373976you are sick in the head. i'd shove my cock between azula's dick sucking lips
>>749373832when you're in grand finals at Evo I think it's fine to want to use the controller you're completely familiar with instead of someone else's
I like Reina because she yells when you do moves and doing electrics is funny
>>749373921Yes.
>>749373804Not really it won't feel the same as playing the stick that he already knows.
>>749374057In my EU country its legal
>>749374173that's not what she thought when my ex wife went for another stick
>>749366784Wish someone would put them into USF4. THEYRE LITERALLY SF4 characters
>>749373832I'd rather a stick that probably won't break again after some shakey midset repairs, unless I'm sponsored by said stick of course.
>>749373890Keep coping.

>>749373732She's not the most popular but she's definitely liked.
RESETTUH
Only reason I like Reina is because we need more taido representation in fighting games. SNK should add the main character from JJK too, for the same reason.
>>749317467are these entrants numbers?
I WANT TO FUCK CASSANDRA ON THE STAGE OF HISTORY!!!!!What are the chances of SOULCALIBUR news or is it all just Tekken?>>749337712>>749337251WTF????? Is this how bad Street Fighter 6 is now. The fuck happened? CASSANDRA PROTECT ME!!! >>749374379Because there saving Jin for Killer Instinct or whatever Microsoft fighting game will come out next... Right... there're gonna be making another KI again...
>>749367248>YOU SHOULD KYS FOR ASKING FOR MORE SNK CHARACTERS IN THIS SNK GAME YOU CHUDfollow your own advice.
>>749366784the tekken version of the characters were pretty cool and i wish they had ported them to usf4 at the time.>>749368074laocorn and duck king are the only cool aditions.Rick was ok at best, kim was not needed, the anime duo was a stupid idea and it should have been ANY of the other mishimas instead of reina.
The same EX move THREE TIMES
But what IS Brawhalla?
>>749374379Nta. Where did you get this from? Im shocked Reina is above lili and is the most popular tekken girl now.
Reina is gonna rape Rock
>>749375032f2p smash bros for third world children
>>749375032Not part of the current BYOC side tournaments sorry
>>749375043https://ewgf.gg/statisticsIt's broken up by patch versions and Reina is consistently toe to toe with long standing legacy characters. She's the most popular newcomer in a long time.
>>749375032Its an f2p platform game similar to smash. never played it myself however.
>>749374379>no sourcenobody plays this bitch.she's too weak to play aginst the OP Characters that never get nerfed.Tekken newcomers were all bated into the game by her and none of them survived.
>>749374781Soul Calibur is dead...move on.
>>749375219Thank for the info. I knew she was popular but didn't think she was that much higher.

holy shit
>>749375410not if he YOLOs like that
>>749374781Buddy...Killer Instinct is more dead than SOULCALIBUR. There a higher chance some fuck wit at Microsoft greens lights a SMASH clone for Xbox then there will be a new KI game.
>>749374379man Tekkenfags do not like girls do they
AO
>>749374781Anon, even Tekken's future is starting to look questionable. Soulcalibur isn't happening for a long time.
Question for CotW players. Rock's ex elbow looks like it always has 2 hits. The second hit comes at the same time, always. Isn't that an automatic guaranteed parry or whatever the mechanic is called in this game? Isn't Go1 the defense god? Why is he not doing it?
GO IS THE GOAT
this dude choked on like 6 tourneys this year on tournament point for this game
>>749375629Ken Lobb still works at MS so KI isn't completely deadwhen he retires it's over though
>>749375527>>749375601i'll take that back lol this still go1's game
>>749375780My nigga
>>749375849It's ok, there are several other EVOs now for him to try again
>>749375780GOAT>>749375845The hell does that guy do now a days. Isn't Rare getting merged into Activision.
>>749374379the paul drop off from t7 is sad to see, why'd they fuck him with that hair
>>749375562Oh did your lever just broke? That's too bad sweaty. Yeah I'll take the win by DQ please, sowyyy I know it sucks, better luck next time! :^)
Go-one has such a likeable personality, I can't help but root for him.>>749323090I want to see Miary doing silly shit so I could understand what's her character is supposed to be according to Bandai overlords. I'm used to Tekken 6 endings which were utter dogshit but with fighting games you expect to get nothing but tiny crumbs of lore.
Asuka Kazama is hotter AND cuter than Reina but at least they didn't pick fucking... Bryan, or King or some gay shit like that.
If Tekken waited until the FF16 advertising cycle ended, and the FF7R advertising cycle started, they could've had Tifa too. Squenix is whoring that shit out to anyone now, even Sonic. Meanwhile they got stuck with Noctis and Clive

>an silhouette>"announced"Faggotry notwithstanding, depending on gameplay design, she'd be a marked upgrade from C7 and DJ Nobody, even from Duck King and x3 Kim Kaphwan clones... That is, maybe someone other than MBS is now getting input on content matters.
>>749376663>they tease an avatar collab>trailer starts>it's pic related>it's only world tour clothes
COTW was fun to watch. Is it fun to play?
>>749377014imo yes
>>749376809>That is, maybe someone other than MBS is now getting input on content matters.Tekken is part of EWC. That means Bamco and MBS are already in bed with each other. I wouldn't assume Reina is not an MBS pick, or assume Ken and Chun weren't for that matter.>>749377014If you don't mind combos being mostly>normal, feint cancel, normal, ex ex ex ex, superit's cool.
Hi, Cassandra anon here. Got a statement and a Question >>749375629>>749375845KI was outsourced to another company to make. Original being Double Helix and then Iron Galaxy. Why couldn't they just do that again? It may even be cheaper than making it in house. And my question is this >>749376010THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN RARE IS GETTING MERGED INTO ACTIVISION???>>749376432Cute art. And agree. Atleast it someone most people would like.
Word on the streets that COTW is getting an actual character customization. But some say it's just new Ronaldo costumes. Idk which ones right.
>>749377014It's fun for me in the shitter ranks where people hardly do optimal things and combos are generally not super damaging so I get to play more interactions against my opponent.
>>749371913Ahemhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ywoVjl07Rc>>749376809>couldn't be assed to see the reveal that's been up for hoursOuting yourself as a tourist (again). Try r/fighters, you'll feel right at home with the hateboner tranny retarded redditors there.
>>749375825Forever 2nd place but kudos on his hardwork
>>749375219>the most popular newcomer in a long time.Nah, that was Kuni 2nd in Tekken7.Reina was absolute bottom tier in this game.one reason this game failed so hard was because they replaced Kuni with a noob bate character that had no chance winning the OP characters like Victor, Azucena, Dragnov, Hwoarang, and DevJin.
>>749370610low quality visuals and polish plus they all do the same shit so easy to put together on a "function" level
>>749377272Don't know anything about KI outside or Arby being in it but here. Proof about the merger. https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/09/22/continuing-our-reset/
>>749370610>>749377595I wouldn't be surprised either, given their advertising, that they're using more AI than Capcom, Bamco, ArcSys, etc.
>>749377405It's so fucking Owari da...
>>749370610They got that Saudi oil money.
>>749370610As other have said, infinite money.Capcom, Bamco and ArcSys getting literally no pushback for their 30 dollar 4 character passes certainly didn't help. Sometimes you even see people defending it because those 4 characters are "le high quality!"
>>749377272>Atleast it someone most people would like.Are you aware that characters like king and Bryan are of the top 5 or top 6 most liked Tekken characters? If either of the top characters in>>749374379got in instead of Reina there'd probably be a bigger round of applause and bigger chance of people actually wanting to pick the game up since Reina fans/players are 99% casual as shit and aren't gonna pick up a 2d game just to play her.
>>749377941>and aren't gonna pick up a 2d game just to play her.That applies to every single character in tekken by the way. Tekken players play tekken, they very, very rarely jump games.
>>749377941Tekken players who did not already enjoy CotW are not going to fucking try it out just because Bryan gets added there. As someone who very casually plays both games I'm just glad we got a girl in a game that sorely needs more of those instead of an edgy shirtless man.
>>749376518all the lazy devs should be replaced by the based modders...
>>749377941I know there popular. But I'm trying to think in the mind of a FatalFury fan and what they would want out of a character. BANCO has been pushing Reina hard even being the one that still retains her devil form after Jin Purges Kazuya and his. But you have also need to look at what most people will be looking at in terms of most recognizable character and to the average Joe, bryan and King aren't going to come to mind. Hell this isn't even the first crossover in regards to Reina, cause there's also the Atelier Yuma stuff in that game as well. >>749378239Sex.
Why the FUCK is Max moaning about Rock in Tekken when he can't even be assed to play Rock is in own fucking game?! And it's not like Rock is low-tier or anything, he was just literally fucking second place (again), he doesn't play Ken either, and he won't play Reina.This millionaire white boy needs to SHUT THE FUCK UP NOW
>>749378034As a Tekken player I have no idea why someone would play a 2D fighter. It's like a genre for children.
>>749370610They're genuinely putting in less effort. This isn't trying to insult snk it's just a fact going off the ai ads and the way some(most) characters look like the TR shitters.>>749378034>>749378189Point is the chance of Reina in particular attracting people compared to chances of those dudes attracting people is genuinely non existent compared to barely existent, as it would be with any t8 newcomer compared to the big guys like kazuya, jin, heihachi, king, dragunov or Bryan. Have at least seen SOME people who play those characters have an interest in 2d games. Also unrelated how do you get chun li as a guest with a body like that and then manage to make her one of the least played characters?
>>749378596King is literally one of the top 3 most recognizable Tekken characters, top 4 minimum.
>>749375825Might as well rename to Mi2ndha4x
>>749379431>DragunovDragunov is only popular right now because he's fucking broken and has been since launch even with nerfs. He's not a big name pull.
>>749379431>how do you get chun li as a guest with a body like that and then manage to make her one of the least played characters?That's actually a good question.Like I said before, I only play casually and I'm absolute shit but if Chun-li has some glaring weakness that makes her unusable then I am unaware of it. I play her sometimes, I just prefer Mai
>>749379598Adding on to this since it came to me after posting, snk and fatal fury fans are NOT the reason characters like Reina are getting in they are putting them in hoping solely to get new players. Even if that wasn't the case fatal fury/snk fans are the EXACT kind of people that love characters like king, bryan, kazuya, and jin. Reina's a modern stick so they damn sure wouldn't give a fuck about her.
>>749295254Baby Reina is back.https://youtu.be/9Xs78rxwwyYhttps://youtu.be/9Xs78rxwwyY
>>749379431>>749379598Nta but I feel like everyone is clearly missing the elephant in the room. The question shouldn't be if a character is popular or not. But rather what do SKN's owners, Aka the Saudis, believe would get them the biggest return on investment. And right now with everyone eyes on Reina in terms of her story significance and how she's being pushed. They probably chose her cause of that. She's the one with the most hype and the one they believe will get them the most money.
>>749379674He is very good but dragunov is popular regardless of tier just like Bryan. Man could've been mediocre at best and he still would be top 8 most played solely because of how he plays and looks.
>>749380451Anon a bunch of the Tekken team is gone with one of the only asshats left being Mr love my OC Murray and they immediately brought heihachi back. That bitch is getting punted.
>>749380863Sure, your probably right. But wouldn't that mean to just strike now with her and get as much money out of a character as you can. Plus isn't the prince a waifu/anime fan too. For all we know he may just like how she looks and just wanted another cute girl.
>>749380863You are talking about the game that brought Zafina back to the base game, Reina is not going anywhere.
The prince had a fucking Nezuko pfp and a fucking Neptunia wallpaper on his steam page.
>>749381127>ZafinaYou mean the walking power boost who NEGATIVE people give a damn about and might as well have only been added to 7 to reintroduce "muh azazel power" and then 8 for kazuya to take azazel while having zafina fuck off from the series forever?
can't wait for Tifa to do chi trap into slime pressure into starshower super confirm
>>749381565Yes, that Zafina. She's not dead by the way. Neither is Claudio. They'll be back.
Next OP image should be Reina slapping Mai and Chun's asses.
>>749381351I image you were talking about this anon here>>749381090But can you provide a screenshot? Before the threads ends. >>749381714Nta but Claudio was show at Jins ending of 8 but I dont remember seeing Zafina >>749380863Yeah i hate they did that. At least leave him out until the end of the damn games life cycle. Not as the 3rd FUCKING dlc character.
>>749382012She's free of her cancer arm but when has something like that ever mattered in this series?
>>749381714Claudio probably since someone on the dev team loves him but zafina is getting booted for sure.
>>749382012Can't because a janny banned me from posting pics, so I'll have to resort to imgur instead:https://imgur.com/a/yIlmGs9
>>749382321wtf I love the Saudis now

>>749382321>a janny banned me from posting pics...the fuck were you posting?
Based Reina causing all kinds of discomfort throughout different franchises and games.
>>749382321>a janny banned me from posting pics Were you in the megaman girls thread or one of the pokémon one? Or neither and it was something else entirely.
