Fighting Game General: "I Love Big Girls and I Cannot Lie" Edition

Give it time. PBS ended up being fucking amazing, it's only a matter of time before they explore a new genre for spin offs. Especially since Homura is already in a fighting game

Homura was actually alright in that. I'm not holding out hope for SK3 but if that actually happens then maybe we'll get something great. I don't even care about nintendo slacking, most of the girls share the same body and I'm more interested in everyone kicking ass.

I'll give it a pirate when it eventually hits PC then.

this patch in kof14 is pretty swell, I like how every character is considered, most other companies usually just nerf the top tiers and call it a day.

change log
secondary teams got reworked on a lot, now they're Terry/Sylvie/Alice and Whip/Dinosaur/Yamazaki

shit I posted an old pic for the small list, why do I keep old files?

And, we should not forget that Ayane was in Estival, and both Honomka and Marie will be on PBS. Think about it: from all the series they could be working with, they keep working with DOA like no other. I wonder if this is not because they might have something bigger planned.
But if Daidōji keeps getting that stupid body in the game, and not the muscular one from the concepts, I'm not going to get it.
And some 3D muscle too, because, why not.

Whip's theme.

Yamazaki's theme.

Vanessa

Rock

Best new theme

speaking of rival themes, Andy and Tung got one as well.

Also Ryo vs Geese.

One thing that disappoints me about the update is that the special intros for the DLC characters are only with the other DLC characters.
I was really hoping for pre-fight banter for Dinosaurs/Rock, Geese/Rock, Whip/Maxima and Yamazaki/Iori, Vice or Mature.
Other than that the whole thing is stellar and I hope they add more music and stages like this.

I'm still happy with the fact that Tekken 7 is coming to PCs, but Denuvo is almost certain at this point. Kind of sad, I really want to try the angry huelander.

So, they didn't made any special themes for females. Kind of sad, but these are pretty good.
Some I think that could work.
Kula vs Angel
Vice/Mature vs Leona
Athena vs Sylvie
Yuri vs King
Luong vs Vanessa
Nakoruru vs Love
Mian vs Mui Mui
Zarina vs Alice
Whip vs Mai

What went wrong with MKX's gameplay specifically?

If you could overhaul the gameplay system without removing the guard button, what should have been done instead of what the game is right now?
I want to make my own fighting game down the line and am looking for thoughts on games that have similar features to what I'm looking for. I can't actually work on it now since there's a bunch of other things to work on first.

already done.

...

Have they announced what the main games for EVO japan are yet?

Netherelm games get to many balance patches last time I checked which kind of kills its long term playability.

...

This is a character usage percentage chart for Rev 2, it shouldn't be a surprise that Baiken and Answer are among the top 3 most used, everyone wants to try them out. Although it looks like there should be a spot for one more character. Rev 2 DLC character confirmed?

I guess if their balance wasn't so atrocious and they knew what they wanted to go for, they wouldn't have to patch it so much.

I was watching Jonio stream last night and it made me really want to play Answer. When I saw him, his gameplay gave me a funny warm feeling inside that I never felt with any other GG character, but I really don't want to pay up lots of cash to play a game with barely passable netcode while having shit tier internet and no locals in reach.

Got one right.

This is the damn "esports effect". They are not even patches, just little tweaks that happen as soon as some part of the community gets too salty. I think it would be healthy to wait something around six months for a patch, so, you can see how the game behaves with the community and also in the big tournaments before more significant changes.

Probably Anji or Robo.

Clarifying, when I said dumb character archetypes, I meant not that they're ridiculous in a "but why" way, but in a "but why would I pick anything else?". I haven't paid much attention recently since top level play seems to be dead but I'm pretty sure there were quite a few characters with one clear best variation, and there wasn't any reason to change.

That's not true. Some variations can be used in some very creative ways. The thing is, Why people will always get characters like Ryu over characters like Gen, or Kazuya over Lei, or as you can see here , Baiken over Jack-O? It's not better, it's easier. MK variations have this too. Every fighting game that's worth the players time have this. But where MK lost was in limit on variation per fight, and you might have chosen one that is less efficient in that round. Imagine how crazy the matches could be, with players changing variations, between rounds, to counter other variations at least that's my opinion.

Two new characters one returning character has been the pattern so far

Well, the numbers show that people don't think that way.

Well, they didn't followed that pool, and that huge Baiken usage might make them think it would be good to bring more of the classic characters first.
It's sad to know that A.B.A have almost no chance.

Jack-O isn't popular because she fits badly and she isn't very fun, not because she's hard. Johnny and Slayer have been two of the top five characters since Rev and neither of them are particularly easy for different reasons

Well Double seven, I think most people think that easier characters are the most "direct" ones. The ones that follow those basic archetypes. And, you can see that Sol is only bellow Baiken. And I don't play the GG very often, but Johnny wasn't very unorthodox in Accent core. You had the coins, but nothing like ABA leaking health to get stronger, or Robo Ky overheating. The fact Jack-O have minions to use is the deal breaker. Look at Venon too. Now compare to Ky, or May.
Now, I don't know nothing about Answer, so, I can't say if he is "classic" or different.

I love me some big ol' fighting muscle girls.
That sheva trns me on immensely as well as the fifth blue haired girl in the OP

A man can dream.

It's Arcade, Guilty Gear arcades don't get DLCs like that and the spot is there because the amount of characters is uneven.

I'm not saying 1 more character won't happen for console/Steam release, it probably will. Considering Rev's story I'd expect a normal company to implement someone like Robo-Ky, Gabriel or Ariels, but that's Arcsys we're talking about so it'll probably be inclusions nobody wanted like Randy or those kids who annoyed Robo-Ky.

we tekken now

SNK was bound to shit the bed at one point.

...

New Samurai Shodown when? New Last Blade never ever…

Tekken is pretty much the only game that will make me look past Denuvo and buy it. That and a Biohazard Outbreak Remaster. It's just too good not to get.

There's a tournament in my country. Think I should sign up? I haven't played T7 yet or even touched tekken at all in months. I'm nervous that if I somehow make it a bit in, I'll make it to the streams and my scrubness will be there for all to see. I'm not even socially anxious about it I just don't want to shame myself.

But I get a free T7 shirt if I sign up. Hmm… free shirt or eternal remembrance of my scrubness.

Nobody cares about scrubs unless they monumentally lose like the Akuma who lost to a blind dude on SFV in Madrid the other day.

If you aren't in SK you're a scrub anyway so who cares :^)

How hard did he lose his shit?

After KoF XIV's arcade port and PC port are out of the way it's either gonna be Samurai Shodown or Metal Slug on what they'll tackle next.
I'm leaning towards SamSho since it's been getting an odd amount of promotion lately. Honestly I really want a new Twinkle Star Sprites, Neo Turf Masters and Art of Fighting the most.

(checked)
Holy shit that sounds amazing.

Found an embed. Any recommendations for converting youtube to webms?

That's good, but that PC port is taking forever. Hoepfully when it does drop it will be a gold GOTY version with all DLC bundled in for free lol as if

And I'm after decent web-based webm conversions. Does such a thing exist?

I feel like playing a blind person at a fighting game is a bit like getting in a boxing match with a woman. Either you win, but big deal because you beat a woman, or you lose, and you fucking lost to a woman.

im liking Injustice 2 so far because of Captain Cold and especially Flash
too bad no steam because im never buying a console again

NRS stole Rimururu's Air Ice Platform and gave it to Captain Cold though

That's because the Arcade version is the PC version.
They'll probably include the DLC characters but make you buy all the costumes like a gud goy. KoF XIII steam edition included all the DLC characters since it was just XIII Climax copy pasted to the PC

Speaking of big girls…

It's pricey, but you're not forced to get them.

Master Raven is my waifu. Also don't be afraid to go to the tournament, if you lose you can just use the excuses you made here, no one'll really blame you or anything

SNK is doing much better than all the other companies ATM, except for the fact that we don't know if they will release on PC yet.
BUT
20 dollars, for four characters, in a game that costs 60 dollars. I think you can see how this is a bit expensive.
And yet, this is still much better than Rev 2, that only adds two characters, and I think it also adds two stages.
But, I think SNK still deserves the extra money for all the effort they put to improve the game.

I never understood, people keep praising SF III animation, but AOF 3 was just as fantastic, and it was released for a weaker arcade, and years before SF. But let's be honest, not gonna happen. Look at the DLC and KOF XIV as a whole
AOF will not return, they are not even making people remember the characters.
They will probably add Metal Slug characters before they add more AOF characters…

Isn't that a thing that Iceman form the X-Men always did too?

From the Stream

Maybe it's just me being cynical, but why does MvCI sound worse every time I hear something about it? Only two-character teams with tag-ins? Overreliance on Infinity Gem accessories? Why is this sounding more and more like Street Fighter X Tekken bullshit?

Good. Capcom fucked up SFV badly, and I'm cool with the Nips reminding them of that until they either fix it or make a better one.

...

The Wall Maker.

The characters are extremely boring and feel similar to play as. Many characters are straight up rip offs on other characters, and the different variations make it worse.

Because it is. This is less that what we got back in MvsC 1, that also had special assists, plus character assists.
They said they wanted to simplify the game, and that's how. You will have one jewel to chose from, and each jewel will be like a custom X-Factor from what I understood. Man, I need to get the first MvsC for my DC.
But it's interesting they are not going for Dimps this time, maybe they've learned that company is not healthy for them.

I don't like this Bane, he doesn't seem like enough like a fellow of considerable size.

MORE BIG GIRLS

/fit/ occasionally has fit girl threads, you can check them out when they come back

So, /fighters/ is now dead and we can create new boards right now.
What do you want as a new name for a fighting game board? /fg/? /fgc/? /fighters/ again?

The real question is why do we need to make another board?

Not need. But having a whole board for one topic is nice sometimes. too bad most of the niche boards that aren't about porn or gay shit are empty as fuck. They function a bit more like bastebins or starting points for whatever the niche is.

Postan.

That's fucking hilarious. Serves Capcom right for fucking SF up so much.

we still don't exactly have enough traffic to sustain a healthy board imo. maybe it would be useful as a repository of information though.

does anyone have that sf3 artbook from the old board? my computer died & i lost it

i want to main king

I might not have exactly what you're looking for, but I got these.
s57.photobucket.com/user/glgaz/library/SF III?sort=3&page=1
gallery.digik.net/gallery/173

What said, but also as an archive. Having a whole thread to talk about one game or one topic is better. Like I'm pretty sure this thread will be flooded during EVO. If it was in a board, we could pin the EVO thread and let the other threads live.

This site is leddit XD on a board form. The main interest of this place isn't to use it exactly like cuckchan.

What's the point of this post? They have CPT and Capcom Cup. They don't need 150 majors per year.

They do. How else will they continue to chase after glory? How else will they justify their sponsorship deals? How else can they tell themselves that they're the best if they can't win every other day of the week?

I agree. The B is not capital for that slightly bigger than the other guy.

Fightans don't have enough big girls…

Seriously, Capcom drones make a sad faggot. Remember that whole "Dark ages of Fighting Games" between SF 3 and 4? They act as if no games were launch between that time. They can't see beyond SF.
Smoking Smoke!

Did he took a bullet to the knee?

The toppest of all the keks.
Capcom Fighters are all shit since 2004. SF4 is shit, SF5 is shit. The FGC licking Ono's butthole pisses me off. The "Dark Age" never existed.

B-but user, we had to endure all those shitty fighting games like Tekken 5: DR, VF4: Evo, Guilty Gear XX and SC II! Truly, it was the darkest age figthing games have ever known!

1999 - SFIII 3rd Strike
2008 - SF IV
And I'm sure I'm missing stuff.

MVC1 and 2?

Dunno why you'd also list absolute shit games together with good ones, also ArcSys released Hokuto no Ken which was a fucking GREAT and I urge anyone who hasn't played it to do so RIGHT THIS MOMENT.

We should have a wikipage so the few ones that exist are at least documented and are easy accesible to people interested in the subject.

We could probably expand it to side-scrolling beat 'em ups as well, since there are a few interesting big girls in that genre as well.

I think 20 bucks for 4 characters is fine considering how much shit they've given out for free and how far after launch they're added. The real thing to bitch about SNK is how the costumes are being sold, that shit is getting to DOA levels of dangerous.
It would have a better chance if Oda didn't stick to asking questions about series on fucking facebook of all places.

Hey man, Tatsunoko vs Capcom was a legit good game. It was like a game they developed from when they were good but forgot to release it until way later.

...

MvsC 1 was released before 3rd Strike. Only MvsC2 was released in between.

I told you I forgot some. Sengoku Basara Cross was also fun.
And I understand user, many people dislike games like Plasma Sword and Isuka, but they were fun, not great, but fun.

The 90's were really crazy.

The thing is, I think Oda himself don't really care about AOF characters. I mean, people ask for Kasumi all the time. I'm more of a Lenny guy, but with Whip in the game, my chances are negative.

Every time I see this game I think it was created around infinities. Who gets tired first, loses.

Oh, I thought you meant between Street Fighter 3 NG and SF4.

SF3 was initially released in 1997, and MVC1 was 98.

Didn't one of SNK's artists made a Jack model recently?

Yeah but it was "just for fun", oda was dicking around on facebook asking what people would think if they made an Art of Fighting Beat em up instead of a fighter. But the facebookfags just went into DLC begging for KoF instead.

the thing about /fighters/ is that these threads, let alone Holla Forums's userbase isn't big enough to justify having a board for just one thread. Although I will miss /fighters/ and that the lack of traffic helped maintain it's history, like how cuckchan's tripfags from /fgg/ used to post there.

As you can see in the list, I marked 3rd Strike in 99.
Nice pic though. I think I know the artist.
And also reminded me of this.

And also a Jenet. So, yeah, no big deal. But not only that, plenty of SNK games deserve to return. Aggressors, Savage/Kizuna. Since they managed to make fighting characters out of Stallone and Schwarzenegger rip-offs, it's time thy get some from Sengoku and Shock Troopers too.

Nothing.
Why do you want a separate board so bad? This is one of the few generals on here that actually discusses vidya, and it already isn't the most active one. Make a new board, and it'll be as dead as the last one was.

/fighters/ was supposed to be 4/fgg/'s own board. Created by a tripfag. The Sniff threads were already a thing in /fgg/.

What do you think of the idea of a "baseline" of complexity in fighting games? Is it possible for a fighting game to be so far up its own ass in terms of execution that it honestly alienates less experienced players?

I know it's kind of a vague question, but I was watching vid related recently, and the amount of different stuff Zappa can do in GGAC+R is absolutely crazy to me. Obviously there are some things you will keep track of automatically (the ghosts drifting behind him, for instance, makes logical sense so you wouldn't think of it every single second). The different rules for the dog summon seemed almost overwhelming, especially since it replaces your Dust button and has inputs for 8D, which requires you to mask them inside of another move.

Obviously Zappa is fine as a character, but I think a game composed of entirely characters as complex as him would be gibberish both to play and spectate.

On the other hand, you have stuff like Them's Fighting Herds, which has only three attack buttons, a dedicated magic button, and supers which only require a single quarter circle motion and one button. But despite that, it looks like a lot of fun, and it doesn't seem to be degenerate like Skullgirls was (everything is a 15-second pseudo-infinite, but nothing does any damage).

Has anyone else thought about this or am I just confusing obfuscation? Were there ever any characters you tried to play properly and your brain said "fuck, i'm not putting up with this shit?"

Yeah but I just thought you were confused because 3rd Strike wasn't the first iteration of SF3 and I thought there were people who didn't know that.

I'm just sleepy, that's all.

No problem. I think most people gets confused with SF because it's always using versions, just like GG.

user, look at those number over there about GGXrd character usage. Most complicated characters are just avoided. Now, a game composed only by complex characters would not really be a problem if the gameplay is more "friendly". That means, more well know. Like, KOF and SF use similar attacks. But even with that system you usually have more complex characters in KOF, like Angel. I think that, if you have well know commands, the complexity can be learned in time, but, just like racing or flight simulators, only autists will really enjoy the deep system in it's entirety.

I was referring to games like Tekken 4.

For you

WHY DOES HE WEAR THE MASK?

The KoF characters cost €4,99 each and the bundle is for €17,99 in the EU store. The difference between € and $ isn't that much. Together with the costume prices, it really seems like you burgers are getting diddled in the booty hole by Atlus.

t. Eurofag

And one nice thing is how not even WW is really big enough. I mean, she is no Big Barda, but she is just a little taller than Harley in this game. And that's…
WRONG.

Here in Hueland, it's around US$17,60 for characters and US$ 16,20 for costumes.

Sf4 Ibuki? lol
reddit.com/r/SF4/comments/63c8ho/couple_of_questions_as_a_new_player/

But given how Tekken games have been getting worse since 3 (albeit 4 was the peak of shit) why would you do that.
Especially with the fact that they're character direction is making all the wrong moves.

Fighting over RYU

DR is clearly the peak of the series, though, but I agree, when it comes to new characters they really did shit the bed in 6 and it continued in 7.

Except for Bob I liked the new characters in Tekken 6. Lars and Alisa do look pretty bad in their main costumes but you can customize them easily so they weren't really a problem to me. Miguel was even my second main in Tekken 6. Bob is fucking garbage though, you can't salvage that character. I have no idea why they put Bob and Rufus in fighting games

I also like Claudio, Kazumi, Master Raven and Shaheen. But this time Chloe and Josie look unsalvageable to me

Tekken 3 actually is lad. It's one of the greatest fighters of all time.

Amazing that you managed to like all the shit characters (Miguel was your 2nd main, really? How shit can your taste be) while also not liking the single saving grace of the Tekken 6 new character roster.

Ah, I see, you have shit taste. Good that this has been cleared up. Claudio is a stupid idea for a character with an okay design that ultimately doesn't stand out from many others, Kazumi shits all over the storyline of the series and doesn't advance the series in any meaningful way, Master Raven is "Girl Raven" and she once again has no reason to exist when Raven is already a character, and Shaheen was literally pandering to Muslims.
I get that you don't like Josie and she is a shit character, but she's no less retarded than any other new characters.

Nah my man, it's DR. 3 is still my second favourite though.

Well I'm not gonna argue with you because by no stretch of the imagination id DR a bad game, but my point still stands that ever subsequent installment has been worse since it.

Sorry, Denuvo is a no-go for me. I got stung by Arkham City's SecuROM.

To be honest I doubt you even played Tekken 3, or any other Tekkens for that matter

I agree too… except for DR. I mean thinking about it a bit more, is this Itagaki I'm replying to?

I don't know who that is. Tekken 3 just has a better roster and better mechanics as far as I see it.

I've played all Tekkens except Tag Tournament 2. Eat my dick.

The fuck are you talking about? The only character who isn't in DR and is in 3 is Ogre.

Ogre, True Ogre, and the joke characters yes. The point still stands, do you think more characters in inherently a better roster?

Yes if there's no really shit characters.

...

Leave this place and never return

The world has gone to the dogs

He's better than the Mishimas
Jin was a mistake
Bob is good
Miguel is eh
Tekken 7 has some alright characters, and some garbage ones

King is still the GOAT

An upgrade from rats like you, I'd say

Fuck

While I agree that Tekken 3 is the best Tekken so far; Feng is badass, eat shit.

Anybody still have the pics of the KOF 14 dlc character poll?

After and before the rigging for the Sports team

Damn it stings. Oh well, I ended up enjoying Whip more than expected

even Adel got higher then whip

the orochi trio is probably gonna get next dlc with shingo on the side. unless the orochi trio was rigging as well. But I'd be surprised if it was since so many people play chris.

Rock was probably the smartest choice from a business perspective because that probably increased sales among the rock fan club. not to mention max has been gushing over that anime boi for the past 3 days. good addition in my eyes.

If they wanted to continue to diversify who people play, the orochis or mary/rugal would help with the current lineup of (Terry+2 characters), (robert+2 characters), (k'+2 characters) and (athena+2 characters) since that's what the majority gravitate towards. I'm still pissed that terry isn't 98 or garou terry.
The current dlc added side characters for those top 3 with (rock+2 characters). Not bashing on em, it's just you don't see Yama and whip too often in previous games. Vanessa was pretty popular though. Definitely seeing Vanessa and Rocks the most. So far every Whip I've come across just picked up a controller for the first time.

I'm pretty sure they'll be keeping orochi trio and rugal for XV based on all the hints in the story/verse dialogue

you actually might be right with that. Now that I think about it, that's more sound then a second dlc.

IT'S OUT

couldn't find the MUGEN thread

KOf14 is fun

I'm so glad shit like this is coming out. But I'm so sad that no one will play it so that we can see the game to it's full potential. Have there been tournies for this game before?

Well, I saw them advertising Street Fighter V for that TBS show the League.

You're just mad he said that you have shit taste.
But seriously, I'll take Tekken 3 missing characters over the ones you like any day and unfortunately they all made it into 7.
They're really shitting the bed with the roster which is the reason why I'm not buying the game. And since devs claims that they listen to the fans demand, what the fuck happened with Tekken fanbase if it's true? I will never believe that most of the characters were more requested than Julia, Anna Williams or Lei Wulong, for example.

...

...

I hope he's still around. Does he have a pixiv or something?

I've always been iffy about DBZ characters since they usually are extremely broken characters unless they're from certain creators, but these look balanced enough. Thank fuck there's not only English voices in these.

What does that have to with evo japan? And I think you're talking about eleague

I'm stuck between picking Tung/Mian/Clark and Whip/Antonov/Ryo as my main team now.

It didn't show it, but you can get two fireballs off if you reflect Verse's raining hands super fast enough.

...

Nigga she's gonna be in XV. The K' Team and Ikari Warriors Team confirmed a fuck load of people got resurrected after Verse was kill.
Also Verse's special win quotes hints at a lot of the dead bosses

...

XV will come out in seven years, i want her now.

More like 5 years, just play 98UM and 02UM while you wait

Big girls

For fuck's sake, man.

I'm gonna be so fucking terrible when Yakuza 6 comes out with the VF5:FS port

>start reinstalling from steam
what the fuck, when i got it, it was only like 4gb
what happened

You're telling me, I still can't do some of Akira's shit like Teinshitsu Dantai mid-battle even semi-consistently. What's your main, by the way?

Brad Burns, I also played Aoi extremely badly and was trying to learn Taka-Arashi before my system died

Aoi is also extremely tough to learn. I'm lucky that my brother also plays VF, so when I was getting reacquainted with Akira in training mode I told him to pick Jacky and just do the most annoying shit possible so I can get back into gear when it comes to quick and consistent execution of Akira's really tough moves during an actual fight. I've got all of them down except Teinshitsu Dantai which I still can't do more often than not and Soushou which I still fuck up periodically.

Feng is actually good, but has been doomed by bad story-telling. He could have been what Akuma was supposed to be (an honorable ass-hole who has some humility, but won't pity you if you're in his way).

Get the fuck out of here, and never come back. Miguel the rage-a-holic faggot was a better character than that fat piece of shit. All of the new characters from 7 are shit.

I really want the Sports team back even if I have to stomach that faggot Ash. That said, I'll take Orochi team over them any day.

Anyone know a place I can hire lady voice actors that aren't like… annoying hyper-weeb voice actors?

I want most of my characters to be able to inflect. I don't just want any high school anime fangirl voicing them.

I know, but I really liked her design so I suffered through it

Dosh out shekels for nip VAs then.

There's always a shitload of up and coming VAs looking for work on any social platform you can think of, normally on places they can show off their work like soundcloud.

damn max apparently showed a naked picture of Leon on stream and i missed it.
literally clicked on the stream right after it happened

who

nigger dagger

What's you fave company that makes fightan games?

That still makes fighting games; SNK, French Bread and Examu
That use to make fighting games/dead; Noise Factory, Sunsoft and Arika

...

Until they actually pump out that april fool's joke, they fall into that category. Sunsoft is also not dead, they just don't make fighting games anymore

Not a fan of Max but at least he's honest.

fug i wanna get back into vf, are there any good guides for el blaze?

he was always more of a mahvelfag iirc

in the current year:
frenchbread
(((arcsys)))
i want to say i like snk but i find everything they produce now fundamentally offputting even if they're doing it for the right reasons i still want people to give them money though

virtuafighter.com/wiki/index/
This site has great guides on any character and it has guides on all the systems in case you've forgotten how some of the systems work.

...

I want Sylvie's costume already.

I thought they would've been out way sooner than that.

SFV's business and system flaws are obvious (whorish DLC, shitty netcode, terrible PC controls, ect.) but from someone who hasn't played much of the series, what makes SFV worse playstyle wise than previous street fighter games?

Only days after he got married as well.

nump

Link to his match?
I always love a feel-good story.

it just happened on the capcom fighters twitch channel but it should be up on youtube tomorrow. it was the ultimate fighting arena in france

1st Haitani 2nd Itazan 3rd FChamp

Really hype top 8 overall

It destroyed a lot of traditional stuff like Shoryuken tactics that were a staple in older games, and they're treating SFV like a moba: changing the balance to whatever Ono thinks is amusing (only worse than Dota or Lol…somehow). It's also weird to see certain charge characters have inputs like a shoto.

Speaking of SFV, when is the next shitty data-locked character going to be announced? I'd say it can't be worse than the last few, but Ono manages to make the next character worse than the others.

Footsies are very weak
Not even just weak, but characters that are the most hated like Laura and Mika don't need to think about them once they're in your face, and are very good at staying there
Even ignoring that, Crush Counters fucking killed footsies by favoring characters with better CC buttons as they're needed to get decent damage
Overall, ends up favoring randomness over genuine skill that top players continue to complain about to this day
As James Chen, a SFV dicksucker said, the game has too many situations where both players are guessing to not die as opposed to only one player having to guess like with USF4 setups, and he acknowledged that that was a lot less frustrating because at least the player that is guessing knew which options were auto-lose. Laura also circumvents this a bit
Defensive style not viable unless you're Guile who still needs to play mixed anyway. Other characters that would be considered defensive in other games need to play offensive here like FANG and Kolin
All normals have baby range but also have no knockback and are safe. This along with weak footsies leads to games being taken "in turns"
Horrible balancing ethic because of a lack of communication, FANG got nerfed hard and Alex slightly even though they're underplayed, while in the newest patch Laura only got a baby tap
Claims to close the gap between new players and pros but only because there's no answer to randomness, and pros still dominate top play anyway
Only mid-low tier characters are interesting to watch and MAYBE play. Only high tier exception is Urien.
V-skill system isn't unique to the point that some characters share v-skill function (Ibuki and Karin)
V-triggers also not very unique or just plain weak with very few exceptions, overall more frustrating comeback mechanic to deal with than Ultras were

Underdeveloped UI
Everything costs too much fucking fight money and the game is really not worth playing to get the challenges done. Only die-hard fans can afford anything.
"Premium" shit only accepts real money anyways, have fun with story costumes and empty stages
Matchmaking takes forever and nothing changed with the "new server infrastructure" beta
In general all internet functions are slow, even starting up the game since it checks for a connection first
Story mode fucking sucks

I'm sure there's more but I'm not in the mood to keep going.

The worst thing about V-skills is that they're supposed to differentiate characters, but 80% of them are just installs that make characters play like how they should. You're playing half a character until you take enough damage and then you get to play the real one for a limited period of time.

Why does Necali get a V-trigger that never goes away?

SFV is about getting frustrated.

Because you're not suppose to enjoy the game

Remember GigaDev, VA are tools you use. Make them work as you intended. Some "kawai" VA can do good grave ones too.

And maybe this page can work

Would you play a completely Sumo-based fighting game?

I've played exactly one game of Street Fighter in my life, but this is what other people have told me:

Sure, if it weren't boring. That game looks very boring, though.>>12313248

you forgot "the game doesn't look all that good, on any settings"

Anybody got that "25 years later" image of Ryu and Ken?

...

Is She-Hulk any good in MvC3?

She was good with the right set up in Vanilla 3 (Wong used her, but Wong could use almost anyone), but she got fucked in Ultimate 3 thanks to tier-whoring.

Doh

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW

It's just the pre-tournament, don't get too excited.

I guess SNK is doing alright for themselves?

I never made it, i'm gonna be stuck in high silver/gold for life
Dee Jay, Hakan, Makoto, and Rolento are so much fun, I honestly love this game coming back to it plus makoto is fucking adorable and undeniable best girl

But user, how can a boy be best girl?

Why not?

don't bully makoto

Do it. I lost almost constantly at my local, but a single win makes it worth coming back. If anything, T7 should be easier, with easier throw breaks and no tag bullshit coming.

You have it easy. Shermie is pretty much guaranteed
>tfw no Alba-Soiree-Lien MI team

I wouldn't be so sure.

I'm gonna need both hands for this

nice double dubs and taste in 3D muscle

Have you noticed more Chois and Changs online now? I've run into a fuck load more than I did before, hell I'm seeing a lot more characters that barely got touched in general. It's pretty nice

where do you got that pic? there is some new info about kof w? is for pc, right?

pls snk

...

I would like that.
What are the chances of KoF EX, AoF and other smaller characters ever appear in KoF?

Never. hence why they're EX characters. they're more likely to add more chinese characters

EX characters? Never ever.
AoF characters? Depends on how 98UM pandering they go with the next game. Kasumi, Eiji and Mr. Big are the only ones I can see coming back despite how sad that makes me.
I think they'll just add some aged AoF characters to Garou 2 when ever they get around to it.
As for other characters? Depends on how they handle their IPs until the next KoF. I'm guessing a Metal Slug and another Samurai Shodown character will get added to the next game. Mizuki Rashojin if Verse's win quotes are anything to go by.

Ken's face got messed up by some fly boys with bad haircuts.

It's a chinese mobile game currently in closed beta and the image I from a facebook group.

You forgot the eventhubs poll. Now look at the results.

...

How do you map a 6-button FTG to a Dualshock 3/4?

Can you do a full Darkstalkers kombo?

Anyone got a download for MBAACC and the caster used for netplay? I've never played the game before, but I think it sounds like fun.

Just map the heavy buttons to the right shoulder button and trigger. It's better than nothing at least.

If you hang on, I'll get it to you.

mega.nz/#!m1wg3ZaY!2ur0wmEyScVyE99uxdXxIvzQpyG8LHZ-he5X_xh8xx0
Fresh outta the oven. Get MBAACC with the caster while it's hot!

thanks.

muscle girls truly are best
also when the fuck is my boy shingo coming back

...

...

Makoto is so undeniably the best girl that it doesn't need to be said. It's like discussing the weather with someone and then randomly observing that the sky is blue. Everyone knows this.

She is a respectable choice but not the objective best.

good choice.

you feel it too don't you?

At least I can play Hinako Shijou and Sho Hayate online thanks to ports/fightcade.
But Gai Tendo? No version of XI with online and don't get me started on Buriki One

Is Buriki One even emulateable?

It can be, but it's far from perfect and no online option available.

Polygon does something good for a change and interviews old SamSho devs: archive.is/AW0sv

I'm scared.

That was good, despite some parts were unnecessary it was a good interview, I love how Adachi is fucking based and didn't give a fuck about what testers thinked about the game or how he came up with the POW system because he got pissed off about losing a match of sf2

Chunners is getting another costume.. the april fool's SF quiz one.

I'd have to respectfully disagree with you both.

nope. guess where she goes

KOF KOF

You all should bow down to the real best.

Kula, Meitenkun, Sylvie will be released on April 12th. Angel confirmation probably tomorrow

when it comes to KoF, Yuri and Nako are the cutest, Leona is pretty cute too though. Makoto is still the cutest. Sakura is up there too.

post more cute fighting game girls

opinions are like assholes, my friend.

That'd be Leona, with Kula as a close second.

This is gping to be a wild rid:
Injustice 2 will be weird.

There's apparently a "tournament" mode that turns all of those things off. All this armor stuff is just NRS's usual casual content for single player fun and lower skill online matches. Honestly I wish more companies would offer more single player content and unlockables like you see in Tekken and MK.

This is the truth. Went back to play MK Armageddon a couple days ago for whatever reason and found myself actually enjoying the Konquest mode. Maybe the lack of singleplayer content in recent fighters has skewed my palette when it come to this, but what happened to the dumb fun shit in fighting games?

jews

Indeed, NR do love to add some neat SP content. I do praise them for that. Hell, even MK X Krypt is baiscally a classic dungeon crawler. Very few companies risk that.

Midway PS2 MKs where insane in the SP department. But not only that, Armageddon and Deception also had online. They were pretty good fun.

Is that meant to be Trident's stage? Are they gonna bring back the same characters or characters so similar they might as well be the same?

Whatever happened to this costume? It was announced eons ago. Maybe Capcom decided a actually good looking costume would ruin the game's aesthetic consistency.

tfw still no Luong costume

Sylvie and Angel look pretty neat though I'm not gonna goy for characters I don't play.

Everybody's going to use the loadout with the most inflated stats or the most broken special move. So much for freedom.

Gotta appeal to tourneyfags.

On the bright side, if I ever join a tourney any Goh player is toast because I know the matchup inside out.

I really hope if it gets ported to the PC they add it back in, fuck microsoft for ruining it for everyone

I do too, the ghosts in Quest Mode in VF are fucking perfect, at higher levels they're so well made you'd swear you were actually playing against a human opponent and not just an AI. The only complaint I have is that at lower levels the AI still breaks throws much, much more than a human player would at that level and that they do combos which a player at that low of a level wouldn't be able to do consistently.

Compare that to ghosts in Tekken for example. The PSP version of DR allowed players to exchange ghosts. Me and a guy I know from tourneys are some of the best Lei players in our country, so we agreed to test out the ghost exchange system and it was actually shit. They behaved NOTHING like us, allegedly it was promised that they'd at least copy the juggles you used, but our ghosts instead did some shitty juggles which the AI uses, but that we never did. They also had no concept of footsies and randomly threw out shitty moves which me and him never used against the AI.

It's too early to say, But I think they are planning for a true Eternal Champions. I just don't know how messy is the situation with SEGA.

Aren't we all?

Wait, is Sega doing something Eternal Champions related or is it a fan project?

nichegamer.com/2017/04/11/sega-has-plans-to-explore-pc-port-options-following-bayonetta/
Those fuckers better give me my Virtua Fighter or FIghting Vipers

All of you have good taste. You're also objectively wrong.

I've been sending them emails and filling up every survey of theirs telling them that I want VF5:FS on PC and a physical worldwide release of Yakuza 5. Hopefully they'll cave in soon.

It's got potential but needs a lot of things changed. IMO they shouldn't bother with the whole fatalities bs, special move meter, giving everyone about 30 special moves etc.
Something they could add is having the Dark Champion bring characters who'd fuck up the world if they didn't get killed. Before any of you smart asses says 'Hitler', he's one of the good guys so it doesn't count. :^)

Mika isn't even best grappler, user.

The game already have a cast that is reasonable well know, so, you need them back. I think they will probably look ay MK9 and KI as examples to follow. And I also mean follow the design. Keep fatalities, or make them into something like MK10 brutalities, so they became more rare and get more power to it. More concise moveset is a must too.

The PS3 version doesn't have it either. Don't blame MS; blame Sega for making a half-assed port with shit netcode.

The reason why the PS3 version doesn't have it is because Microsoft. XBLA size restrictions forced it to get cut and Microsoft had a policy at the time where Multiplat releases must not have extra content exclusive to non-MS platforms.

Excellent tastes, anons. However, I believe you are also incorrect.

That never stopped Japanese companies from adding more content to the PS3 versions while the 360 owners got jipped. Sega could have added the Quest mode in the PS3 version only. The port was still half-assed.

...

Vast majority of those games had the PS3 version remain japan only because the policy applied only to western release, the others had to pay out the ass for licensing fee on the 360 if they wanted to get around the bullshit.

...

here we go again

SFxT was a domestic release. Oh yea,I remember Mike Z adding more stuff to the PS3 version of Skullgirls 5 years ago.

In retrospect, I think I found someone we can all agree on.

whats with all those designs? they look zhit

It's spelled "gypped."

Hey bro, found your stick.

Okay, that's just funny. Someone knew EXACTLY what they were doing there.

We're all primates user.

Fucking dropped

that's supposed to be Billy, only he doesn't have his usual bandanna on.

Isn't he blonde?

yep. he's blonde normally, but he's got black hair here.

...

Yeah, I can really see where they were looking when they created her.

Looks more like We Wuz Billy Kang

Has anybody got the arcade stick buying guide infographic?

I gotchu, its a little old tho. You can make accurate guesses from this. I recommend the newer Qanba sticks like the dragon and the obsidian, they're great. Remember, when it comes to these things, it's better to just spend the money

Fug man. That's a lot of money to spend on a stick if I want something remotely good in Aus.

How is making one for cost?

store.steampowered.com/app/460790/

Oh come on it can't be that ba-

Depends how much of a nigger you're willing to be.

Which components can't I cheap on? Joystick and PCB, or just the PCB?

I might just try and resurrect my current ones.

Joystick and PCB, yeah. If you can find a broken Hori Fighting Commander or a PDP MKX pad, those PCBs are easy to work with.

holy shit that's alot of fucking money. What console are you playing on? I can try and find a decent cheap stick

So, the PCB for one of these works fine when a joystick is attached to it?

PS3 and PC. Seems the market for this is niche as fuck in Australia. I went into EB Games (our GameStop) and the bloke behind the counter had no idea what an arcade stick was, asked what kinds of games I'd play on it then tried to sell me a Logitech Wingman "Joystick".

Yeah, you just wire it to where the Dpad used to go. There's diagrams on SRK.

I can't even imagine how fucked your inputs would become.

...

Literally doing piano inputs.

I'd gladly attend something like this. get some friends together, get some snacks and booze and everyone has weird as fuck controllers. I'd use one of these. idk about the slime one, considering it would be the easiest to use

You have to hold the slime "upright" so it looks more like you're fondling whatever genitals it has

You guys just keep giving me ideas, so I'll probably go through with it. We already have a tourney every three months in my town we call Lofovski Heroji (Shit-Tier Heroes). The rules are simple, there are always 3 games played (they change every time) and you can only play characters considered either shit-tier or low-tier at best in each game. You sign up for a game (you can sign up for 2 or all 3 if you want) and list your character, the list of allowed characters is always announced at least a month before the tourney and sign-ups finish just the day before the tourney begins.

That actually sounds fun as hell, I might steal that idea and start something up in my town.

That's not even her strongest tool it's barely used unlike Mamahaha. Her mixup game is amazing: twitch.tv/videos/134439348

Weird, King and a few others were already revealed some time ago.

By the way, the costumes should probably be released today.

What did he mean by this?

Oda visited Arika to tell em about selling a fighting game in the current environment.
also;

Don't get you're hopes up that SNK is publishing it.

Thank god it wasn't Ono.

Also, SNK might not publish it but he might have some contacts with Atlus so maybe there's hope.

Well if Harada shows up eventually, you'll know for sure that they're pushing for an arcade release if they looked for advice from the heads of the two fighters that have the most hype behind their arcade releases.
Ono was at the original april 1st event

This game needs a demo on consoles ASAP. They already have the FG fans all worked out, so, it would be sensible to bring that demo for the public. It worked really well for KOF. Maybe launch as a free title to bring awareness.

That beta might have every type of broken stuff and bugs everywhere. The average console consumer is used to think a "beta" is actually a fully tested demo missing minor tweaks. I think it would be better to release on PC. Be it on Steam or even a DRM-free version on their website.

Well, I hope they called Oda because they thought Ono only said nonsense and ask Harada later for more tips.

By the way, the KOFXIV costumes are up on the PS store.

Out of all the things SNK has done for the game, the costumes are the only thing where they're fucking up with still.

Yeah, I wish we could have at least a "New Characters bundle" with Nakoruru/Sylvie/Meitenkun/Shun'ei and a "Classic Characters bundle" with Geese/Iori/Kula/Angel. Or even a NESTS girl pack considering they released one for each at the same time.

In my city, the second most populated in my state, brick and mortar stores got more copies of Jojo All Star then KoF14. By that I mean I can't find a single physical copy of KoF

I live in fucking Brazil and I barely see the game in regular stores there's no such thing as gamestop here. I remember a big launch for SFV but I don't think the game sold that well. There's usually plenty of PS3/360 Tekken games too.

Are there any stats on how well it has sold? I can't help but feel SNK just used SFV as marketing and then didn't bother do their own work.

All we know is that;
-it sold better than KoF XIII despite it being only on one console and had no prior arcade release
-Oda saying he was very satisfied with the sales
-Gaining enough popularity in japan to push towards an arcade release
-sold really well digitally in japan because it ends up in the top 10 charts each time it goes on sale

Here comes a bit more from that Eternal Champions reboot. This is really early stuff, so, don't think much of it yet.

I'm also huelander, and, I think I can see some copies on online shops. There is also a good number of people here who get the digital version, so, there is that.

...

I went to buy Yakuza 0 a week after it was released here and it was completely sold out in all 3 stores in my town that sell vidya, I had to order it from one of the stores so they could mail it to me when they got a new batch. In my country it's usually best to just order games rather than go to stores unless you really want to buy shit games like FIFA, NBA or similar sportshit.

explain this.
