I want the entirety of the SF FGC fanbase to die. I want all of them to instantly explode on the spot.
I am 100% convinced at this point that not just SF, but fighting games as a whole, can't be saved unless SF fans die. It's impossible to convince them to get better as human beings, and as fighting game enthusiasts, so the only possible solution is for them to finally fucking die so we can start over.

Here's mine fam

WHENZ TEKKEN PC
Carter Cruz
decided to fool around with necrid who's my main always liked fast, acrobatic monster characters, and he fits the bill.
Always liked his design but I don't like 3 things about it his green-ness his arm his head (he also doesn't like his appearance in his lore)
So I decided to change it more to my liking. I gave him a closed helmet because He's described as not liking his malformed appearance. made him gray so no more hulk green, got rid of the horns on his arm because even nightmares arm isnt that big
Tyler Martinez
I'm still not buying. Also, I wanted to get into 2hu fightan and I'm assuming 12.3 is the one people play the most. Is the online good for it?
Brandon Williams
NOT THIS YEAR
Ryan Campbell
do you have autism and feel that your team all have to be the same colour?
Camden Martinez
Never ever
The touhou thread is probably a better place to ask.
Luis Jenkins
Fuck off autist
Hudson Anderson
7.5 is the only good Touhou fighter. Everything else is shit.
Xavier Brown
Sucks that Zappa is so low on the list.
Anyone ever try fighting in real life? Have you ever tried to do a move you saw in a video game?
I recently tried the flicker jab that I saw in Hajime No Ippo, and I actually landed a couple hits.
Felt good man
Luke Morgan
Unless the move is from a character whose fighting style is based on a real martial art and the video game he's from depicts those martial arts at least semi-realistically, this is a really bad idea. Hell, it's a bad idea if all the conditions I've mentioned are met because their most well known moves are usually some flashy shit you'll never get off in a fight anyway.
That being said, I will admit to my faggotry because *once I did an Electric Wind Hook Fist, I even did a fucking crouch dash before I knocked the other guy out with it. He kept his jaw completely open so I thought I'd give him a surprise and for some reason I had this split-second decision to do this move I saw in Tekken complete with a little crouch dash before it. I'll most likely never do this again, though*
Brayden Mitchell
Wow, I completely fucked up the spoilers even though I know how to do them, I shouldn't post when I haven't eaten anything yet.
Julian King
Sounds like you did fine. Crouch dashes are something boxers do as well. Probably scared the fuck out of him.
I was in boxing sparring when I did the flicker jab so it's not like it would have cost me my life or anything. He seemed distracted by my dropped guard, so it was easy to flick out a couple weird jabs.
Evan Morales
Well, I'm a big fan of Cro Cop (he's from my country) so I took up kickboxing, so I usually knock fuckers out with headkicks. I still don't know what went through my head to decide "eh, I should do this cool move I saw in Tekken", especially since it was in an actual fight where'd I probably get really fucked up if I messed up and not just a sparring session.
Thomas Howard
Kicks are the most powerful thing the body can do, but kick boxer punches are lacking because kickboxers keep their legs too close together. (To avoid leg kicks)You really gotta bend the knees and spread out your stance to get grounded for a solid (boxing)punch.
I want to practice my kicks more but my heavy bag isn't suited for it (too hard, don't have the conditioning to rip out kicks yet)

Evan Butler
It's really a shame that the martial arts have turned into glorified day care centers.
Does no one appreciate the art of combat anymore? What happened?
Aiden Stewart
well that's why I said it was new
Ryan Nguyen
Because the fact is specifically about how said creature reproduces. It's more of a biological lore fact than some special snowflake nonsense.
Nolan Martin
In the case of Tae Kwon Do, most schools now use the WTF standard aka the Worst Korean standard which is geared towards sport competition, which is why it's faggy. The ITF standard aka the Best Korean standard's main mission statement is still to instruct their students in self-defense, but it's rarer compared to the WTF standard.
Leo Ward
I actually wouldn't mind a setting like that
Hunter Bell
The game isn;t just good in my opinion, its a love letter from the past and an experience that simply doesn't exist in modern gaming. I'd buy you a PS4 if I knew who you were because the intention to play this is enough to for anyone to want to share it with other people.
Andrew Myers
Oh fuck I forgot about that. God damn how the mighty have fallen.

Are there any good resources for Tatsunoko vs Capcom? I want to start practicing the game again and I'm looking for resources on combos.
II is supposedly the worst one but I've never played it. VIII is the worst I experienced.
Julian Wright
I wish there was better reporting on Arcana Heart 4. Because the few english "translations" about it have been worrying
Luis Lopez
Hey user, I only glanced at the Arcana Heart 4 whatnot but I know Japanese (passed JLPT N1 years ago), if you want a better translation, maybe send me some links and I might translate for you if I'm not too lazy or it's not too long
I mostly just want to figure out what this person means by "Patreon style campaign."
Robert Clark
What info about it has surfaced? Only played a bit of 3. Good game but never got to get the hang of it. Very overwhelming even when I played a bit of GGXX before.
This? Thought we already had gameplay details. Sounds fishy indeed. Inafune fishy.
Josiah Parker
I'm itching for KoF XIV to get to PC. Is it worth getting KoF XIII in the meantime or should I just keep waiting?
A little unnecessary. Just cut out the "community leaders" like JWong, Max, Chen, etc. They're the driving forces to following Capcom till death while they have the money. Them and the big event organizers. The rest of the community, like most other game community members, are rather complacent.
Luke Gray
KoF XIII isn't a bad KoF game, and it has the classic formula, but it plays differently than KoF 98 and 2002. It's a good game though, although you have to unlock Billy and Saiki.
Joshua Allen
XIII and XIV really feel different. Like XIV feels closer to 98 and 2002 than XIII does. It's a fun game, but you'll be very apparent about the changes and problems it's has compared to other KoF games.
Christian Evans
It's a little early but Merry Christmas user! Here's your translation. I may paraphrase some sections if I'm too lazy. But in short, I think their Patreon is pretty much what you would expect from a Patreon.
Note: This site seems to use the term "online salon" to refer to the Patreon-like pages that it hosts. I'm not sure if the term 'salon' is actually fitting in this context, but I'm also not sure anyone should ever expect Japanese Engrish to be 'fitting'.
On the right-hand side of the page Season 1- Online Salon, Looking for members currently! Membership 1,000 yen/month Below this there's an "Owner Profile", but it just lists what games Takaya and Team Arcana has worked on, lazy so skipping it
main page banner image Takaya-headmaster and Team Arcana Fighting Game Development Room Takaya being called headmaster/principle (of a school) is weird, usually you'd say director or producer or something, I believe the weirdness is intentional, like they're trying to build up his character to make him memorable while introducing him to the Internet. AKA a PR stunt
main page contents ```Online Salon Details```
```What is Team Arcana?``` Team Arcana is a team made up of members who developed games such as "Arcana Heart", "Nitro Plus Blasters", "AquaPazza", and "Daemon Bride". This salon is for supporting the activities of Team Arcana.
```A word from the team advisor, Takaya-headmaster``` "Advisor" here is also a term commonly used in a high school setting, like the advisor for a club I love playing fighting games. But, I love making fighting games even more.
In the over twenty years I've been making games, I've begun thinking that "I want more people to know the fun of making games."
And, with Arcana Heart's 10-year anniversary, I thought of making a lounge where where we could share the "fun of making" with everyone.
The goal of this lounge is to start up a plan for a new fighting game and to "aim for completion while having fun with the participants."
We need everyone's support and collaboration. Thank you.
videos here, skipping translation cuz I'm lazy and one of them is 9 minutes long, the other is 40s
```Live reporting of the new fighting game's development``` We'll start making a new fighting game with Takaya-headmaster at the heart of it. We'll move forward with the following while mixing in the opinions of participating members AKA Patreon/Online Salon members : * Planning drafts * Character Creation * Specification Document Creation * Test Play Also, we will do progress reports of all processes related to the game's production up until we reach the point of recruiting production staff and fundraising.
```Participation Bonuses``` AKA Patreon Rewards * Arcana Heart Spin-Off- Arcana Quest Drama CD- Fiona's Big Adventure * Arcana Heart 10-year anniversary event video * The sale of lounge-exclusive items I haven't used Patreon enough to know what they call the 'lounge' over there, but basically it's a place only paying participants/Patreon contributors can access * Conversations between Takaya-headmaster and the game creators
```Recommended for these people``` skipping the details on each of these items cuz lazy 1. You like fighting games 2. You're looking to enter the gaming industry, you have an interest in making games 3. You're a fan of the games Team Arcana has worked on
```Entry conditions/precautions``` also paraphrasing this cuz lazy * After entering the salon, make a request to join the Facebook group. * This salon is only for participating members, don't leak insider info outside. * Don't be a troll, no mean comments, muh Patreon experience * We may decline entry to inactive Facebook accounts or Facebook accounts that weren't created for legitimate reasons.
OK, time to post this and see how badly I messed up the formatting…
Ian Taylor
Someone teach me how to bold, it's the only formatting for this post I didn't know how to do, I looked at this image to try and do it, and failed ;_;
Hunter King
Have you tried enabling the use of control+B?
Jack Lee
Wrong apostrophe Use ' instead of ` Or you can enable formatting like said.
Gabriel Wright
Thanks user, that's a bit more clearer. Still makes me worried as fuck tho.
just click the option button in the top right of the page and turn on the toolbar in pic related. It's the causal way to do everything.
it's on there under "How do I format my text?" you were close though, instead of tildes it's apostrophes.
Gabriel Garcia
...
Hunter Jones
If nothing else, I think Patreon-like platforms make more sense than Kickstarter for game dev projects- game dev is by nature very high-risk, and Kickstarter expects you to deliver if your fundraising goal is reached (leaving backers ripped off when you flop), whereas Patreon is more akin to a donation box- you aren't expecting too much of anything in return, you're mostly just donating to someone if you think that's the right thing to do.
it's nice to have the ability to donate at all, especially for the fighting game genre where you're not exactly promised a million sales when you ship.
Welp, I guess someone messed up that guide I was looking at then, it's pretty clearly is showing ` rather than '. At least I know now…
I was aware of the FAQ page, just wasn't aware of it having a section on text formatting. Although maybe if I would use my head a bit I would realize it might have a section for that
Eli Baker
Exactly. How else am I supposed to half-press to victory?
Julian Lewis
But wait, I just realized, they mentioned "reaching the point of doing a fundraiser" on the Online Salon page, they're going to do a Kickstarter sort of thing as well aren't they. Fuck.
Adrian Harris

Parker White
Lets talk training mode? How long you in it? What do you practice in it the most? How do you feel about it?
Luis Roberts
when the fuck is Pink Season, Frank?
Juan Sanders
Pink songs from the guy are reworked songs he didn't initially like in his own regular albums so it's probobly after his next proper album
Caleb Jones
How the hell do I get used to starting at the right side in fighting games? On the left I do much better, but if I get to the right I can't get my shit together and constantly misinput and miss stuff.
Joshua Sullivan
I don't use training mode. I usually pick up on tactics and combos I see other players do when I go against them.
Aiden Cooper
switch controller ports.
Gabriel Baker
I just start on the right side when given the option and train on the left equaling my experience on both ends
John Adams
mash shit out in training on the right side until your inputs are solid. shit's pretty fucking obvious.
Bentley Gomez
Depends; If the game has online training, then I do a couple hours of sparring with people. If not just a few minutes to get down any new inputs. New inputs or practicing timing for parrying/counters/just defend gimmicks it's pretty essential for most games.
Training mode or vs cpu
Adrian Cox
Condensed mains because I was bored.
Connor Morales
So why is Samurai Shodown III so hated? From what I can gather it is considered the black sheep of the main series (not counting the 3D titles). I like the darker artstyle and mood, it looks fucking gorgeous, having the option for an alternate character moveset is really nice, I like all the new additions to the roster and the music fits so perfectly. From what I've played so far the gameplay seems fine, so what's wrong with it?
Landon Sanders
I thought SamSho VI was the most hated one?
Noah Powell
I'm in it pretty often since I only really play at locals now which are fortnightly. I like to practice combos and setups I've found online and in Discord groups for characters. I need to practice reactions more though since training for what's coming from opponents helps reaction time a lot. Right now though I'm practicing Zato stuff in Xrd but I kind of want to focus more on Testament in +R; also just eternally grinding shit out for Rachel in BBCF.
Tyler Hernandez
All 5 of us AH fans are excited.
Waifufags man. Still, Dizzy has 10/10 thighs.
I would say look up combo videos or tourneys. I haven't found much info for the game besides that.
Thanks for translating user. I hope the fans or dev team don't fuck this up.
Ryder Taylor
Almost never go to training mode since I have a friend to play with. So we just fight over and over and I just improvise combos on the spot. If I know what links to what, learning a new combo isn't too hard. I would consider challenges training too. After playing playing 101 matches of BB:CF with a friend yesterday, I've gotten all of Susanoo's normal mode difficulty challenge combos down to the point where I can easily pull them off under pressure.
Getting used to the pace of BB after playing easier fighters like Koihime Enbu and Fighting Climax Ignition took some time. About 2 hours of constantly fighting.
Noah Jenkins
You know what else is 10/10? That smile.
Aiden James
Someone please webm this. It's too funny. Shine demolishes the table at NEC.
Download them in webm format (640x360) and if they're too large then use this: gitgud.io/nixx/WebMConverter tick Enable Audio and set max filesize to 12 mb.
I'll spoonfeed you once, but not again.
Robert Lewis
Cheers.
Hunter Butler
Maybe I can finally play it when it's relevant. Which will probably still be never because people here are afraid to play anime that's not GG.
Matthew Collins
Makes me sad since I think Xrd is on the weaker end for the big anime titles
Lucas Peterson
Balance is shit, stages are too grimdark and don't fit most of the characters, the translation is very shitty and pretentious, shitty roster (None of the new characters are likable), most of the different styles were pointless out of certain characters (Haohmaru, Galford, and Nakoruru), and matches were way too short. Samsho 4 almost every problem despite it cost the series some decent animation. SS3 had some decent animation and a good OST if you can find the arranged stuff from the PSX game.
Sen is the most hated followed by 6. At least 6 brought back Gen-An and Earthquake even though it was Mugen piece of shit mess.
Caleb Sanders
Which is the best SamSho? I'm curious about the series now.
Christopher Sullivan
yeah i really disliked 6, i actually think they had some good ideas with it, but they didn't implement them very well
Sebastian Gomez
people argue between 2 or 5 special, i'd choose 2 because it has more characters i like,
i miss you cham cham
Ian Watson
I miss Kuroko the most
Austin Baker
Pretty much what said. I prefer 2 because it still looks petty good. 5 Special is great, but it didn't age very well (Some animations are really bad).
Christopher Taylor
Gen-An was the best. Screw you guys. Earthquake and Seiger were cool too.
Fun fact: the Japanese really despise Gen-An, which is why he never popped up out of cameos until 6 (like the West hates Ashe).
Jace Wright
GG has a fantastic tutorial, great music, and is actually played outside of arcades. AH has none of that and is a bad place for people new to fighters.
AH is extremely aggressive and doesn't share a lot of things common with other fighters. Like how there's barely any footsies, or it's different from most fighters. You jump, launch yourself at the opponent at very fast speeds while throwing out a meaty attack. All while you can change your trajectory to go for a cross-up. Unlike most fighters, a lot of the combat is done in the air (mainly in 3 and not so much in 2) and stages are bigger than MvC3 stages. Then there's the whole arcana system that creates so much variety that it's hard for many players to deal with the gimmicks thrown at them.
What do you think is on the "strong" end? UNI[ist]?
Josiah Reyes
I cant even do any combos in AH3 Theres no point, online is dead, nobody near me, and my friends suck. I dont feel like joining a group either, I just want to play randomly and anonymously
I also dropped it because the only character that suited my playstyle was Dorothy and while fun, cardspamming the AI on hard gets boring after a while
Adam Cruz

The SFV grand finals at NEC was actually pretty good. You guys should check it out if you're not doing anything else.
Lincoln Allen

Colton Rogers
i hadn't checked but do you guys only play the same 4 games regularly?
Vampire savior, garou, melty and GG? How many people shows up in these events?
Logan Ross
I don't feel lonely, I just don't play, and lets not pretend I'm wrong. What this other user said earlier.
TL:DR - Fuck your groups, why couldn't you just leave me the fuck alone and let me bitch for 1 second. Fuck you user. You're gay ass micro cock and ego larger than Tyra Banks forehead. Nobody fucking asked you. I didn't post a question. I didn't want your cock gobbling insults or shit-tier suggestion.

Nathan Bennett
There was a poll for which characters were popular to the Japanese, and Gen-An ranked pretty low. They also went with the pretty boy approach a la Samurai X/Kenshin when developing 3. Interestingly enough, Earthquake was popular, but SNK didn't like him too much (They designed Kusagaredo to replace Earthquake in 5).
Eli Barnes
s-sorry..
Jeremiah Bennett
It has weekly poverty which is a different game each week and usually if you ask for a game you'll get one, it's only more for events there are less games because the number of people who regular on other games drops to below 8 too much to be worth making an event.
Cry more fag
Thomas Reyes
I don't even play it anymore because my friend does want to play it after his bitch ass ex-wife destroyed his disk in a tantrum. Not a problem now that SIX STARS!!!!!! is leaked and everyone can just play it on PC. However, no way to play online with others yet if ever.
I did play against someone on 4chan who would kick my Fire Heart/Metal Fiora's ass with Mirror/Sacred Akane. He taught me a good deal but I'm much better at fighters in general now than I was back then years ago. Saying that, I've forgotten how to play it. From the few times I ask if anyone wants to play these days here, no one replies.
Heavily depends on the game. Melty still has people playing and there's always Fightcade.
Caleb Taylor
A lot of things turned into glorified day care centers.

will order sol ever be added to xrd? I won't play it till he's added or somebody else who I think is fun is.
Jaxon Sanders
Nobody will ever be added.
Daniel Jenkins
It's done?
Dylan King
Why not try out new characters? Returning characters get changed up as well so you may like the way someone else plays now. I used to play Robo-Ky but I think I could get used to I-no despite not liking her in Reload.
William Scott
i dunno, sins kinda fun, not enough to make me buy the game. I pirated it awhile back, maybe I should again to try the new characters
anyway something completely different. Is there a comprehensive list of SC3 glitches and why they were bad enough to keep the game from going competitive? Cause all I could find was the mitsu throw glitch, and I hardly found it game breaking. But I did hear something about a really bad block glitch but couldn't find anything on it.
David Reyes
No it's not done but they're not adding any more characters. They're actually going to start removing them instead. Who can understand the mysterious Asian mind.
Jaxon Fisher
So is the next game going to be another X I'm okay with Guilt Gear XXXX Gold

I have the opposite. I main Faust in all the XX games, but hate how he feels in XRD, and never play him.

wot you can't be serious,when i thought IG couldn't add more pointless shot to this game after shadowlords and the recolor skins
PS2 Classic versions where way better than DotEmu crap, in fact most SNK ports to PS2 are the best versions of these games.
Luis Hughes
I bought GG for the Wii. Was what I played in college.
Parker Martin
I was more so just talking about online play when I was talking about not getting excited. But if people wanted to play them online why the fuck wouldn't they just use fightcade I just hope since their bringing over all the jap only PS2 ports that they'll bring over the Twinkle Star Sprites sequel.
Carter Bell
So is Season 2 fixing SFV or what?
Landon Reed
not possible
Wyatt Powell
At least this is up for pre-order now.
Julian Walker
I like Basara though.
I mained Gen-An in 2, his move where he molts his skin and then does that aerial attack was sick as hell. Seiger was my backup, was disappointed to see neither of them in 3 or 4. Never liked Earthquake that much, characters with a move where you have to mash a button don't really appeal to me because I always have a move come out beforehand and fuck it up. Seiger does have a mash move, but there is an input before it so a normal doesn't pop out. Also in 4 they changed the mash input moves so you press forward beforehand, which means that you can buffer it with a quick run forward which was a godsend for me, really great design decision IMO.
Very excited that SNK wants to work on a new Samsho game after XIV, but I really wish it was in 2D. XIV is great but it is downright butt ugly in comparison to XIII. I hope they remember that the core of Samsho is about careful and calculated deadly single strikes instead of high speed combo madness.
Juan Long
I bought Brawl for the Wii. Was what I played when I was a pleb who didn't even know who Daigo was
Aiden Moore
Savage Reign was fucking garbage but Kizuna Encounter was goddamn great aside from inputs being a little stiff. I've never such a complete 180 in terms of quality outside of SF to SF2.
Austin Lee
That is a really cool fight stick. I don't have one because I prefer to gid gud first before buying or making one.
Nathaniel Bell
This is a real-life recreation of the historical painting with the Cossacks writing a hilariously insulting and crude letter to their enemy, isn't it? Nice.
Colton Bennett
Just buy a cheap one and some decent parts. I'm about to build a shitbox. Gonna check up on my dads toolbox, when I visit over the holidays. A PCB from a 360 controller should work, right?
Landon Torres
damn that's nice
Brandon Robinson
Not going to lie, I was the guy who bought as many games for the wii as I though were interesting. I bought GG, Brawl, Castlevania Judgement, Played my dorm directors copy of Tatsunoko vs Capcom, and the only reason I didn't buy the Samurai Showdown and King of Fighters collections was because I had never played those games.
Low key, the Wii had some good fighting game support if you could live without functional online.
Sebastian Powell
I wonder if they could add her to this game now.
Bentley Baker
Just reading the Killer Instinct 3.6 patch notes, they rebalanced a lot of shit, and by the looks of it shit's gonna be a mess for the next months, KI is great but goddamn IG likes to drop nerfs like nobody's business

KI 3.6 can't be as good as the SFV season 2 patch…. SFV S2 notes are finally here! Finally a 2p rematch menu, net-code improvements, graphical fixes, input lag reduction, an actual store, and many more requested improvements!! It's a LIE!

SFV Season 2:
Thank god I switched from Bison to Urien.
Robert Nguyen
Anyone got any advice for learning pic related in UNIEL?
David Garcia
Yeah, git gud.
Actually it's that a lot of his combos are wall dependent from what I've seen, and because he has awful range, you have to be very patient when you strike. If done properly, you hit like a truck. My only problem with him is his parry is tied to 2 blocks of GRD, which seems retardedly high even if you tie it to a meter. I personally prefer Pocket Rumble's Parker who gets 3 bars per round of parry attempts. A parry uses a bar and upon successful blocks, you get that bar back, so you can fuck up 3 times before losing your parries. On the flipside, if you're good with parries, you have nothing to worry about.
Kayden Morales
Any patch where your main gets buffs is a good patch. condolences to Alex and Bipson mains though. Those nerfs were unnecessary
Matthew Phillips
What is the Christmas kof 14 surprise and how does new Andy look like?
Blake Stewart
The Christmas Surprise seems to be Athena 98 costume for free and some themes. Unless they announced something else that I missed.
Christopher Ross
Lame, i don't care about kof14 anymore, smh tbh fam.
Jaxson Campbell
As a huge fan of Soul calibur 2, your post made me want to try out necrid despite ignoring him because of his design. Great work, I'd use your edit.
Jason Cook
where is the athena costume SNK
Grayson Howard
are ps4 games compatible with the qanba Q4RAF? Mostly interested in KoF, GG and BB
Daniel Phillips
Wait for the PSN update. Probably happens in an hour or so.
Jack Walker
I thought it already updated since the new sales are up and I just bought Fu'un Super Combo.
Tyler Martinez
Well fugg, I don't know what to tell you.
Angel Perez
Don't worry, I'm sure it will be up any minute now
Justin Lee
I've been wanting to get a PS3 for christmas. Are there any fighting games on it that would make a PS3 worth purchasing?
Jason Nguyen
Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown
Jace Perry
Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown It also has Sonic the Fighters and Fighting Vipers. If they had Fighters Megamix, it'd be fantastic. Also Soul Calibur 5, if you're into that kind of thing.
Aren't there some nip-only fightans on PS3 as well? You can look into those.
Justin Young
...
Dominic Long
user, I decided to do you a favor and do the work for you. I don't know about every fighting game ever, but I hope I got it right. Also, if anyone else is too lazy to make a template, I could do it for you.
Gavin Reed
thanks a lot user, it looks great
Matthew Adams
It's not like it's impossible to emulate, the other user just wanted a list of fightans.
Julian Young
But it's a shit fighter regardless on how it fucked over other games.
Isaiah Lopez
Did I say that I suggested only good games? I made a list of things to get on PS3. UMvC3 would be on it if it weren't for the fact that it's too expensive to buy physically for what it's worth and it's now on PS4 anyhow. Having more games does add to the worth of a console, even if you think it's all shit.
Leo Turner
I don't think Sonic The Fighters is shit; It's objectively shit that's why it sold like complete ass and killed off the western releases for the rest of the Model 2 games. Shit games do not make a system worth it or pad out it's library.
They're just shit games that nobody should play. You could have suggested any other fucking fighting game in the PS3's library, yet you think a playable skid mark is a valuable suggestion.
Michael Lopez
Then suggest some games or gtfo, you massive cock mongler.

i got one last year. there's a lot of good fightan on ps3, especially if you get a psn jp account. there's also ac4a which justifies a purchase in of itself tbh the caveat being that it's gonna get pretty obsolete of the next couple of years assuming tekken 7, nu mahvel and kof xiv are gonna be where the playerbase is; it'll be a good legacy machine though.
Jason Lewis
OK, this is for the people on South America only: Probably the cheapest MK XL for PC I've ever seen. And the place is trustworthy, it's where I got mine MK X:
Are there any modern Fighting games that aren't based around combos? Or at the very least, has combos that are simple and over very quickly?
Luis Ward
Gargos is now a fucking powerhouse that will never let you heal potential damage with all the shit he can put on screen, my mains got nerfed hard in the last 2 patches, at least i still play a decent Hisako since i began playing with her as my tutorial character, guess i'll have to go back to the roots.
Hunter Kelly
Pocket Rumble. Max is like 6 hits, maybe 7, since that would be 2 touches = death. Alternatively, Trajes Fatais but that game is even less finished. There's also the 3D brawler fightans Combat Core and Last Fight, but I figure that's not what you're looking for.
Daniel Lee
Have you tried Real Bout 2?, Fatal Fury 3, Garou also Waku 7.
Modern games? Not that i can tell, probably KOF XIV is the smallest offender.
KOF didn' use to have really long combos, except for the top tier characters, and that was a big part of the reason they are top tier. A combo that spends super meter to keep going is fine in my book as long as shit doesn't get ridiculous.
Leo Stewart
Citation needed. You don't need a legitimate reason to hate furfags, just don't make shit up.
Hudson Gonzalez
The HD Model 2 games for the ps3/360, not Model 2 games in general. We never got Virtual On Operation Moongate HD and Virtua Striker HD because the sales of Sonic the Fighters were brutally lower than the previous ports. twitter.com/VOForce360/status/296574925857226752 archive.is/zErYF
Bentley Morales
Oh right, I forgot Sega was retarded.
Liam Price
I thought he got nerfed hard?
Basara deserved a better game or a better Samsho game with decent animation. 4 wasn't bad: just really ugly with the animations. If you pause the frames during one of Seiger's burst moves, the flame turns into a woman. I thought that was really cool when I saw a picture of his move years ago. For some reason, the Japanese love Earthquake. Hence why they made Kusagaredo to Earthquake and Gen-An fans (too bad he was only good in Special)
I don't know if I should feel disappointed or irritated by this shitty character. I'm gonna be really disappointed if they make a Glacius clone that's more of a rush down (Why not just make a new character that isn't shit?).
Kizuna needs more love. Rosa, Joker, and all 3 ninjas were cool.
So tl;dr, this big patch fixed…nothing out of Laura?
Ummm…Alex was always a loser in SFV Season 1.
Mason Baker
My only regret is that I can't refund the turd that is SFV. The jews at scamcom deserve to have their HQ burned to the ground.
Robert Collins
You deserve the misery for supporting such a sleazy company by buying that piece of shit.
I bought KI, so I deserve my misery for that ugly piece of shit. Fuck MS, IG, and Keits.
Lincoln Nelson
What made you ignore the warning signs like the censorship, pre - order bonuses, and putting characters like Alex, Urien, and Juri as DLC?
Alexander Harris
Feels good that I didn't get conned into it. There are only two things capcom could do that would actually get me to give them money again; Rival Schools/Project Justice HD collection with School mode correctly translated or if they let Arika do another Street Fighter EX
Cooper Sanchez
Nobody thought that and they nerfed him anyway
Cameron Thomas
I don't get it. If anything, Nash deserves nerfs out the ass with Chun, Ryu, and Mika.
You want to see Rival Schools ruined by Ono?
Xavier Butler
I said ports; not a new game.
John Reed
Ono would still ruin said ports.
Brayden Ward
You want to see Rival Schools ruined by Ono?
Kevin Rivera
Compared to capcom's other ports the only really thing they've ever ruined was Felicia's ass in the gallery for Darkstalkers HD. There isn't anything remotely close to that.
Plus these are ports that will never EVER happen so there isn't anything to worry about period/
Nathan Edwards
If Ono sees an opportunity to milk the fgc and nostalgia, you bet he'll do it. I won't be surprised to see someone from SF: Ex in Season 2, and Ono tries to make this character look brand new to get suckers into buying said ports.
Oliver Ward
I could see him stealing that Q model and adding him before an EX character ever returning.
Ian Brooks
Well they tried to steal that Alex model some guy made.
Colton Carter
Don't put KI in the same bag as SF V. It could be better, but SF V is in a class of it's own. The only real sin of KI was the fact that the retards at M$ thought that Win10 only as even slightly a good idea. If KI was also available for Win 7, I think the game would have a really good fanbase now.
Adrian Sanchez
...
Brayden Jackson
Glad we're finally getting that Phoenix Wright fighting game, Capcom.
Oliver Phillips
What was the best game in the Guilty Gear XX series?
Michael Green
inb4 its Sagat
Levi Rodriguez
i would pay 7 dollars to take away mkxl from me
Luke Bell
What do people generally think of the way GG Xrd does story i.e. arcade mode has the gameplay with light story and the story itself is just a big long visual novel/anime? Does anyone even care about it?
I actually never had anything to do with it until now that I've been watching it recently and I actually think the story itself is pretty ok besides the confusion that comes with all the existing universe stuff and terminology they throw around though the keyword thing helps a lot with that. I've been wondering if it would be possible to have a story like that but have gameplay in it as well. I guess it would be really hard because you'd have to come up with reasons for the fights and you'd end up with something like the SFV story abomination.
Robert Garcia
Panic and Pain got nerfed and he's still Garbos and can't get out unless he has Instinct Burst if you have him pinned down. So he's good but you can pin him down much better now. Riptor still eats him for breakfast (Though it's Riptor so almost every matchup is still 5-5).
I think I would have been disapointed too but they may be making him and the additional two characters free since the new update now lets you earn and unlock paid characters for good in Shadow Lords if you fill a meter. You can unlock Orchid now without paying a cent if you get it to 75% and they will reset it from time to time.
I'd imagine that's how we're going to get Kilgore for free and otherwise pay money for him. If they did that for the "clone" characters they are making, I wouldn't be too mad (OK mad enough I have to grind shadow lords) but still would be better. Kilgore looks fun though, and his theme is really Terminator like.
I think with all the hints IG have been dropping and no word on Season 4 at all. They are likely wrapping the current game up with some fanservicey characters and are working on a new KI for 2018. Especially since IG staff have been pretty vocal about how limited HexEngine is these days and they wish they could be working on KI in Unreal 4.
Sebastian Rogers
If it wasn't Windows 10 and Xbone only; I would have actually got into it.
Benjamin Cox
I have a bit of a problem, I've had a Qanba Q1 stick for about a year or two now, been playing SFV using joytokey till the update, now my stick works, but the buttons are in a fucked up order, start is bound to the 3Kick button, so I cant unbind it, the other buttons were in weird places too, I was able to fix most of em… Anyone else have this problem, any solutions to it? Thanks in advance my dudes.
Joseph Martin
I'm pretty sure my Q1 worked with SFV fine without any tricks. I stopped playing SFV shortly after I got the stick tho and moved on to greener pastures so I might be misremembering.
Kayden Williams
Capcom, Capkill yourself
Carson Gomez
Athena's 98 costume is out if anyone else was waiting for it
Dominic Lopez
maybe I should just get myself a new stick for Christmas, y'know what, if I can't fix it by then, i'll drop all the money I can for a better stick, what would you goys recommend
Tyler Miller
Pretty sure the problems is not the stick.
Dylan Rodriguez
this stick is still a piece of shit though
Henry Moore
I think you deserve it for falling for hype.
Wyatt Peterson
Not my fault a beta and demo were better then the actual released game.
Jason Jones
From what I understand it's happening to everyone now. Seems like Crapcom fucked more than just the mods with this update.
Logan Reyes
hori
Lucas Thompson
Will you say this afer you buy MvCI?
Daniel Rogers
Never bought a marvel game and don't plan too, especially not Squirrel girl vs Donte
Angel Wilson
SOUL CALIBER
The combos in this video are not likely to be continued, as one of the game's features is by shaking the control stick, you can lessen the "crumple" time of your character when the electricity pops up, and by holding the guard button you can guarantee a guard even when on the ground.
A lot of these combos also rely on the other character not performing a ukemi, aka rolling the fuck away or redirecting themselves in the air. There's loads of ways to leave combos in this game, making it mostly about entry and pressure rather then combo memorization.
The exceptions are Z.W.E.I and Viola, Zwei being a slight exception because his gimmick is Jojo esque spirit summoning where you can use complicated inputs to strike low and high at almost the same time, and Viola's damage is super low, so she has to rely on combo shenanigans or she's near worthless, which actually works well because as a result she has a great pressure game.
Soul Caliber 5 added a super meter and all that entails, so you'll se a lot of EX versions of moves here, which you can use to lengthen combos, but are honestly better used to do the super move.
Most combos can be COUNTERED DURING THE COMBO, which is the beauty of Soulcaliber.
Liam Lopez
hang on forgot vid
Parker Davis
and what exactly is your problem with it?
Joseph Rogers
also a combo video to get you to understand how the short combos work.
Nicholas Reyes
mainly the stick, the buttons were meh(they can be a little wonky at times), the stick is just too loose for me, plus after fucking around with korean sticks for a while at arcades, I kinda prefer them,
Zachary Cruz
The series also has the best opening of any fighting game.
Easton Richardson
Of course you would Satan.
Nicholas Clark
You faggots just love showing off you're pretty new outfits.
Adrian Thompson
*your
William James
I'm not really angry over the Win 10 only. I'm angry over Season 3 looking like a fucking ugly mess with shit balance (Tusk and Eyedol are the only ones who had decent models from Season 3), ugly as fuck custom items, uglier as fuck skins/colors, and more microtransactions than a Freemium mobile game (I think even Shadow Lords has microtransactions). One patch damn near added input delay until they fixed it. I also hate Rash, Raam, and Arbiter whether or not they're good or bad characters. Dreamcast games look better than KI Season 3 (Kim looks like complete shit, and it's not like her original design was any better).
I don't get it. The first two seasons looked good, but this one looks like shit.
Is it true that Shadow Lords has microtransactions to help you beat stages? I might try it out to get Shago because fuck giving IG and MS any more money for this shitty fighter.
John Reed
He truly is the gift that keeps on giving.
Elijah Phillips
Reminds me of some horrible claymation gone wrong. Nowhere near as bad as the load times I've been hearing about SFV lately. I really hope the upcoming sale hits Revelator, I don't want to go find the PS3 version.
Kevin Kelly
>"I know! We'll give the character a horribly designed default so they have to buy the alternate! Genius!"
Sebastian Hall
They should make a Juri costume that fixes her comically large and dopey looking feet.
Cooper Bailey
Don't forget the nonsensical story-mode costume that doesn't even appear in the story mode. I want to see Ono and his market research overlords catapulted into the sea. We need a hero that crashes on of their tournaments and just takes a shit on stage.
Grayson Russell
Someone thought this would look good out of a piece of paper. You'd think Akuma would have a bit of an Oni-like look to him after 4, but nope. He had to be a retarded Lion Potato.
After they fix Ken first. I think Ken is just doomed to look fugly.
Kayden Nelson
Athena is a sloot
Ian Collins
Sunflower koala
Jaxson Russell
but he looks normal in SF3, Oni is like E.Ryu, a "what if" character.
Leo Sullivan
It has gatcha packs containing buffs and "Guardians" but you have to really suck to resort to buying them with real money.
They confirmed you can get Kilgore through Shadow Lords as well without spending real money as well (Though he won't unlock for Versus/Online for two weeks).
The VA for Kan-Ra's impression of the RE4 Merchant in Kan-Ra's voice is hilarious though
Parker Torres
Aside from the awful balance, well, there are some stuff.
Might as well suggest the Japanese PS2classic games of SNK like KOF2002, 98UM, XI, SamSho Collection, and MI regulation A Also, KOFXIII, Skullgirls and the Blazblue games.
2002 Athena and '98 Goro Daimon would like to have a word with you. But yeah, KOF is now more combo-oriented even if XIV is less prominent than XIII by valuing a more "neutral" game and fireballs.
Ryder Gray
Anyway to buy stuff off Jap PSN without getting fully kiked over yet?
why would they refuse easy money? why. I just want to buy jap psn games without paying more money than I should.
Nathaniel White
Capcom has suddenly realized the importance of having a casual audience for SFV, and they are asking you to help fix the game. What do you change?
Julian Turner
Scrap it. Then let Arika do Street Fighter EX 4 and make them add all the fun extra modes Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max had.
Christian Diaz
I go back to the master of SF2, David Sirlin, and we make a Street Fighter and Fantasy Strike crossover with no highs and lows and no motions. That's sure to rake in the money!
Jonathan Wright
Fuck HD remix. Giving Guile an overhead was pretty cool but everything else was shit.
Kayden Barnes
Make an entirely new game, using SF3 as a base mechanics wise. Pull shit from better games if you have to, like say King of Fighters.
Or just go make Capcom's answer to Soul Caliber. Or fuck, Street Fighter x Soul Caliber.
Basically just add more Soulcaliber.
Jacob Thomas
Just go balls out retarded like SF4 Remix and have a test your might mode
Xavier Morales
I wonder how someone like Zangief or Hugo would work as a guest character in SC.
David Collins
A bit like Astaroth, but with way more command grabs.
There's a few techniques in Soul Caliber that lead into throws on hit, they'd use that liberally.
Liam King
...
Jason Butler
Do you really want him with current Capcom at the helm?
James Lewis
...
Matthew Richardson
I just want Mike Haggar. I grew up on Final Fight but he's only in UMVC3.
Hunter Price
He could be the big guy in the shot here .
Anthony Jackson
That is even worse than what Capcom is currently doing.
Nolan Lee
Not really.
Easton Hernandez
Lower the stupid price first and the time locked sales on stuff like costumes and stages, I.E. if you don't buy the christmas outfit pack for like $25 BEFORE Jan 17 then you can never buy it again
Sell DLC characters individually because fuck paying for 6 overpriced characters to play only 1 out of these, idk if this already is implemented though.
Fix the retarded looking models and bring back censored stuff, this is not up for discussion, it must be done.
Only then i may consider looking at this game and feel like spending money on it.
Adam Cook
How?
Leo Richardson
Better he be in uMvC3 piloted by KaneBlueRiver than the current SFV developers… youtu.be/4GgmwdbbQV4
Kayden Wright
what if you bought it then returned it before you put 2 hours into it because within those 2 hours of playing it you realized it was shit because you don't have to put much time into a game to realize it's shit.
honestly I don't understand why it takes some people 100 hours to realize that a game doesn't want you to play it
Melee has DI which means even when your getting combo'd you still have the ability to get out of it, and smash DI is an even better technique that even the pros haven't mastered fully
Owen Young
there's also SC2 which probably had the greatest hold on a competitive scene out of all the SC's
Jayden Ross
5 characters for SFV Season 2?
Anthony Turner
What were they thinking?
Henry Clark
not even capcom
Jack Sullivan
That if they make his default fucked up you'll pay money to make him look 'normal'.
Michael Parker
any fixes on this yet? im still having problems, I just wanna play my cammy
Matthew Rogers
Go into the game settings, you probably have to fix your d-input layout.
Gabriel Lewis
Are any of the Blazblue games on sale during the steam winter sale worth a buy?
Easton Howard
Shit fighter 5 is on sale for under 20 dollars, yet revelator is still 50/65. What is Arc System Works doing?
Alexander Brooks
Selling a superior product for more money.
Nolan Ross
They also keep releasing outdated trash on PC, than follow it up with more and more. I've already bought a few of their games than a week later they release another only to find out that isn't the 'newest' one either.
Arc System pisses me the fuck off with their shit. Greedy little fuckers. I'd rather buy an actual generic 20$ moe fighter.
Ian Wood
revelator only just came out on pc although it's still pretty expensive
Hunter Sullivan
meant for
Gavin Roberts
You can always buy Melty Blood since we'll never ever get any more versions.
John Moore
Anyone got any experience with blade arcus from shining battle arena? It's on sale so I was thinking about picking it up to play with a friend
Jonathan Bell
I've heard it's shockingly a competent fightan but I've never played it myself. If it's real cheap, why not?
Jack Moore
Reminder that the japs call Street Fighter, Duty Fighter.
Ryan Barnes
I'd like to say I'm a patience but I'm nearly at the end of my tether with capcom. This is utterly ridiculous.
Liam Fisher
less than $20 but without any of the DLC characters or anything else, and the price of DLC in this game is outrageous
Asher Green
explain pls
Daniel Lopez
When will NIS make this happen?
It's a decent fighter that is easy to pick up and play. You die fucking fast in this game and characters like Rage and Fenrir can be nearly touch of death with their 75% damage combos.
Gavin Collins
how
Josiah Gutierrez
my local scene only plays street fighter and smash so I don't really have much a choice if I want to improve against high level players locally,
Elijah Diaz
Revelator is 100% up to date, and even if it was out of date it'd be 2 years until consoles got another revision, or a year and a half at the very earliest.
Bentley Peterson
...
William James
Well, Type-Moon is milking Fate and ignoring Tsukihime as a whole and Miryu Matsuki, the voice actress of Hisui died last year.
Jose Hernandez
Can't wait to see yet another shitty Saber and foxgirl and damn that sucks.
Christopher Bennett
Why don't you try bringing in another fighting game and see if they like it or not?
Nathaniel Fisher
So Krav Maga is one of those martial arts that wont work on itself.
Aaron Williams
I'm glad my the most modern capcom titles my scene plays are Project Justice, Street Fighter EX3 and Tatsunoko vs Capcom
I fucking love how that's always the excuse they give for street fighter not dying
Logan Ramirez
...
Oliver Hill
For the current cost? Just get Chronophantasma Extend, what's nice about BB is that each game adds on to the last without taking away anything so you won't be missing any of the characters from previous games and they are generally better balanced. It should noted that BB has a much bigger and complex story line than other fighters, and by that I mean it makes Kingdom Hearts seem simple to understand and comprehend, so if you wanna get in that you may want to see a few jewtube vids to get some bearing on what the fuck is happening and why you should care. On a whole: the game is pretty fun and while the story is a clusterfuck the characters are fun both personality and gameplay wise, can't comment on the online scene because I have the PS3 version
Zachary Taylor
That's the sign of an article that everyone knows is going to be opinionated bullshit.
Ethan Parker
Too bad these shitty and worthless articles won't generate more Shit Fighter 5 sales. I really wonder how long it'll take Capcum to drop the game. They're very lucky that the game was funded by Sony.
Austin Allen
Why do you think they announced a new MvC?
Brody Sanchez
>it still won't be as good as Rising Thunder, an unfinished game with only 6 characters and 1 stage and was heavily influenced by SF4
Brayden Scott
I've tried bringing guilty gear but only four of us play it and one of them doesn't like it much as other anime fighters. another one is one of the major smash players and too busy playing that instead. so it's more like two of us actually.
Levi Anderson
Unfortunately Rising Thunder's entire engine is being adapted to a League of Legends fighting game to "grow the brand."
At least that's the only reason I can guess for tencent buying them last year.
I hope Tencent stays away from fighting games forever, these chinks are cancer and trying to nab every share of tech market they can
Nicholas Ward
I would like to see the numbers for kof 14. I hope it sold well enough.
Matthew Young
All we know is SNK was happy with the launch sales and that the game already has a bigger scene than KoF XIII in japan, which is partly the reason it's getting an arcade release. But yeah, we still need some solid numbers
Nolan White
speaking of numbers, nice quads.
Isaac Howard
...
Alexander King
That was my first thought exactly, but considering this is Capcom you never know what's on their mind. They're really good at wasting money and making the worst decisions. Would be amusing if they dropped this piece of shit after Season Pass 2 content release. Tears of SF fags would be delicious, the ones who claim that Capcom is going to fix this piece of shit especially.
The best thing we know for sure is that KoF14 isn't a trainwreck unlike Shit Fighter 5 and it has bright future. Let's just hope it won't take them one fucking year to release the game on PC, IIRC that's usually what Sony demands from devs when it comes to timed exclusivity.
They're launching the game on arcades to get more money and this is the best way to get more profit in Japan considering PS4 isn't big there or even somewhere else outside of US, plus majority of people prefer to play fighting games on arcades. I doubt SNK expected big sales on PS4 in general, although I'm not sure why they thought that Sony marketing was worth PS4 timed exclusivity, that was a very risky move unless they planned to launch the game on arcades and PS4 all along what would make sense.
Christopher Lewis
user, I know the holidays are almost here, but that's no excuse for slacking off.
Josiah Thompson
Only the best opinions from an SRK staff member.
I feel like there was another scenario like this at some point where a game had a good competitive scene but then suddenly dropped off the face of the earth.
Nathan Wilson
MAKE LETHAL LEAGUE GREAT AGAIN
Colton Howard
Sucks to be you user. Turns out my local is full of weebs so I can actually play shit like AH3 and BB regularly offline.
Grayson White
That'll happen when Dhalsim becomes top tier.
Isaiah Foster
Despite the modes EX2 and 3 were…meh.
SRK has been changing into a Socjus shit hole with opinion articles for a while, as they shill that Maximilian.
3D fighters usually fall victim to this.
Nathan Thomas
Nah, 3D games still have a hold in Asia, I'm talking about everywhere at once.
Kevin King
Didn't Injustice die as soon as Warner Bros stopped bribing people with tourney money?
Brandon Bell
is pic related good?
Cooper White
yes. the netcode is good, for a Japanese PC fighting game, and a good chunk of the roster is fun to play.
Jackson Evans
Very interesting systems that promote aggressive neutral game and actively reward solid offense and defense. Gaining ground and cornering your opponent or making a read on defense and blocking well earn you GRD. At fixed time intervals throughout the match, a timer fills up, and whoever has more GRD wins Vorpal state, which gives you a one-time Roman Cancel you can use in a wide variety of ways, including just hoarding it and getting a 10% damage buff or extending a combo. Some moves cost you a block of your GRD meter, but some characters can put them to very good use. For example, Linne and Akatsuki come armed with parries that cost a block of GRD, but it's a trade-off: make a read to stop the opponent's pressure but maybe lose the upcoming vorpal state.
You can get some good momentum swings back and forth between evenly matched players. The best way to earn GRD besides going DBZ mode and standing still charging your meter is to advance in your opponent's direction. However, once you've cornered your opponent, you will have a much harder time of earning GRD than the cornered player, who earns GRD by successfully defending himself. He can then use the vorpal state he's earned to freeze time for a little bit and catch you swinging, or to alpha guard and push you full screen. Also, cashing in your vorpal state earns you super meter, so winning more of the GRD tug of wars gets you more potential meter.
The cast of characters is small but has great variety. Most people will be able to find at least one person they can immediately pick up and play. The majority of the cast is armed with weapons and/or projectiles, so you have lots of moves that can take up space. I hope you like FULL SCREEN NORMALS. It kind of plays at KoF pace with an emphasis on SF style footsies and ground game, except with swords and shit. Getting caught in the air without an advantage is a good way to die, unlike GG or Mahvel, but the game moves at a fast pace where pressure is hard to react to except for grabs, tech windows seem very lenient but they're still good.
The music and character art is great once you look past Hyde and Linne, unless you lean a bit too far on the normalfag spectrum. For anyone else, it's a stylish game. The sprites are high quality stuff. UNIEL enjoys being a parody of edgy anime tropes, and the story and character personalities reflect this. French Bread had a little fun with their cast. Background art is bland and low res, though.
Netplay is fantastic if you're playing someone in the same region, but I have had trouble going coast to coast. Maybe it's better on PC though, I'm talking from PS3 experience. The UNIEL community is exactly like the Melty community: a very small group of dedicated, battle hardened veterans who will try to ease you into things but just can't help but cut you into tiny little shreds. Pretty far gone on the weeb spectrum, but I guess that's expected.
Elijah Brown
