How does someone get started with fighting games? What are some good beginner-friendly /vr/ fighting games that I should try out first?
>>12564209Just go through Arcade mode with every character. Some of them will click better than others. When you have a favorite, learn some of their combos.Tekken is a good series to start with since you get some videos after beating it with each character and it gives them all a lot of personality. Just don't become an Eddy Gordo player.
>>12564209SF2CE and Samsho 2 are pretty down-to-basics brass-tacks 2D fighters
>>12564209The soulcalibur fighting games including soul edge have rich single player modes
>>12564234They're fun but not very skill based.
>>12564238True but for a beginner or those bad at fighting games, like me, it can be a lot of fun
>>12564209You can’t. Getting good at fighting games is the “you can’t learn Japanese” of video games. Especially if it’s an old fighting game that got “solved” long ago. Don’t bother competing at KoF games with thirdies, you won’t win. Now, if you just want to play and have fun. Just pick a game, learn a few moves or button mash against the AI like we scrubs do. I prefer SNK fighters, but Capcom is fine too.
>>12564209Killer Instinct on snes is fun and pretty easy and has lots of combos and stuff like the more modern fighting games
>>12564209breakers revenge
>>12564247This pussy is afraid of any challenge that requires hard work
>>12564209Unironically modern fighting games have tons of tools and info compared to the older games. Older fighting games throw you in the deep end without a manual.
>>12564209The fundamentals you learn from SF2 will apply to tons of other games. It’s the codex of the genre.
>>12564220>Tekken is a good series to start withThis.Also, if you main King, you will make everyone you play against seethe uncontrollably. You will make them seethe even if you mention over the internet that you play King.
>>12564264Tia 5C my beloved
>>12564209From my understanding, SF2, Tekken (starting with 3, 1 and 2 kinda suck) and maybe KoF. Thing about FGs is that you may very well beat many of them without having used many of their mechanics or having learned a full moveset, so more than beating one you should focus on learning one I suppose.
>>12564226you get raped by the input buffer.
I really like Melty Blood Act Cadenza and Actress Again on the ps2. Easy to pick up, music is the best I've ever heard in a fighting game.
>>12564209Play that one. I started just by playing vanilla SNES street fighter. I don't really play fighting games that much but that one is cool I guess. Maybe pick one character and try to master their moveset.
