Them's Fightin' Herds

Sounds like a slutty name.

N. America (West Coast) FFS 1?
Also plastered pegasus

If the thread is pruned/deleted then the volunteers are breaking the rules mark left for them last saturday. We're in the clear.

You choose what you want to be upset over, user
shame they didn't finish story for launch, but they have a small dev team. The rest of the game is laughably better than every tripple a fighter. That's what got me to take the game seriously in the first place, and people in the FGC who have taken a moment to look have come to the same opinions.

Unfortunately yes, she's incredibly fucking smug and up her own ass.

Mark. Do the right thing and banish these threads to /pone/. The horsefuckers aren't welcome here.

nice try

Guess you haven't played Tekken, Guilty Gear, or KoF14. The fact that you're letting your sexual fetish override your logical reasoning and justifying releasing an unfinished game is proof enough that you need to take a step back and reevaluate what you think.

This was somehow worthy of its own thread instead of being posted on the fighting game general.

Yeah let's move Zelda to the adventure games general, mario to the platformers general, and fallout 4 to the cultural icons general

...

You should give the game a shot, user. It's astoundingly feature-rich and fun, despite not being 100% finished. I don't think I've been this hooked on a fighter in a long time, and I don't give a fuck about ponies

Read the images posted in and
He's made his statement

Yes, and I linked him an archive of the thread. You don't get to shitpost a thread up, and claim the people who wanted to discuss it did. Hide the thread.

I said it had better implemented features. The training mode alone makes my dick hard, with how much is available. Proper GGPO is also in, which almost nobody included in their games recently despite how great it works.

Letting something like that stop you from enjoying something is petty, but completely understandable. I had mixed emotions till I played it.

What the fuck why did my horse pussy post get deleted

The only reason this game is maintained or has a following is so the ponyfag loyalists can mod back in their MLP sprites (that it was originally designed around). It's ponyshit skirting a C&D.

Combo trial alone should be in every fighting game, it's done a lot in getting me to actually keep my combos when I get a hit in.
I should've set a server in the OP but I didn't think about it. For now, and are what we'll use

Do you know how hard this game is to mod? It's the reason skullgirls doesn't have nude mods, despite Mike Z basically saying "PLEASE DO". The engine isn't open source, and they use their own file types. Nobody has managed to do it yet.

it wasn't a shitpost ;_;

How the fuck do you beat a good Pom player? Her normals are so fucking big and her puppets do big pressure and massive damage, the big dog counter is insanely good and you get fucked up if you can't read it, I know she has the lowest health but she has too many good tools, GG Millia wasn't this fucking broken

How?
When?
Where?
How did you manage to talk with Mark about this game?

we had a meta thread yesterday

...

No sir, what did you mean?

The meta thread, last Saturday at around noon EST. Lasted a few hours. Threads being deleted are simply volunteers fucking up and believing the false flags and people who just want to see the threads burned to the ground.

And I only fought one Pom so far, I got bodied. She's really good in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing, but nobody is playing her right now because of the charge inputs and they don't know how to utilize her properly. Can't speak for her compared to other games.

Are we /vg/, or not, Holla Forums

I won't ever play this game, but I can say they did put effort into the music.

Yes? This is the way Holla Forums used to be before gamefaqs invaded with their general shitting 10 years ago.

it's changed a lot since this webm, I actually like a the way it sounds in this webm way more but it was a proof of concept I believe. I hadn't heard this webm til now either, I really like it more. Wonder why they changed it.

Play an actual game, as it stands, you can play this game with your ass and still win. Then again, this game was made for horsefuckers and their lack of intellect.

which is it? TFH has more depth from what I can tell, but everyone says play SF for fundamentals. From what I can tell, TFH is a middle ground between complexity and simplicity, leaning towards complex. That and there's a lot of new players.

Fucking nigger.

Its worse

That's not how you teach someone new to fighting games anything. I've been hearing mixed messages the past 3 weeks and nobody gives me the same answer. It's always "no no no, play THIS instead"
I picked up TFH because I looked into fighters myself, and it seemed like what I wanted out of the systems, as well as being low priced and having a new player-base that wouldn't immediately stomp me into the ground on launch. If you've got solid opinions, feel free to list them and maybe you might convince me of something. Until then, you're just shitposting.

This should be deleted. I'm fucking out.

Can i play a pirated version online yet?
is there a pirate version yet?

neat pic mein fuhrer

I saw someone post a pirated version but I didn't save the link, sorry user. It exists, and I can try digging for it for a minute but chances are I wont find it.
hey wow they added this neat new function just today, you might not have heard about it. I'll point it out for you though, don't worry.

Please do,i was the one who was backing you up in that meta thread yesterday,also ignore the niggers,they'll get theirs.

I know you want to talk about this neat new game OP, but you don't have to reply to everyone and be the defense force. If you want to talk about it do so.

...

That's a fucking amazing picture

It looks fun, even more so now that it's not mlp related anymore, but it will never lose that stigma of horsefuckery.
I'm also split about Faust being the character designer.
On one hand it was really nice of her to help out after the Hasbro C&D, but on the other hand she's turned a little too retarded over the years in terms of feminism.

Either way, would pirate but not buy yet.

you're right, I gotta cool it I'm overly salty from fucking this combo I keep trying 200 times

Piratefags, here you go drive.google.com/uc?id=1XCWVHbelC2ZfwHxOi829M9tVicWI0Skt
I don't know how legit it is, so you'll have to take this with a grain of salt

what about paprika?

isn't she lovely?

I've got no idea what Faust has done in the past, or present. I know nothing about her, but the designs she does make are good on a surface level. It takes a good eye to keep them as simple but as noticeable as possible. It's something that really speaks to the inner designer in me. Also I posted a link that may or may not contain the game or dolphin porn. I haven't checked it.

I'll wait for somebody to bite the bullet on that with a AV scanner,i dont want a lostboy 2.0

understandable

I`'m not gonna take chances for a game I'm barely interested in, maybe some other time, but thanks.

She's good at what she does, which is writing and drawing, and even nice to talk to irl, but a massive homo faggot online. Her twitter 24/7 is complaining about muh Drumpf. If you can separate an artist from their work you'll find Faust does a lot of good things.

I'm all for separation of artist and work, one of my favorite bands is Bomb the Music Industry. Jeff Rosenstock is a massive faggot who heavily changed direction in his recent work, and wont stop politicizing everything anymore. The election and feminism really did a number on him. His old work is good though, if you can overlook parts of it. Still, he's the embodiment of everything Holla Forums would hate.
But nothing really stops me from liking something anymore except my own personal enjoyment. If I end up liking something, I'm a the point I don't give a shit about public perception. Too many people are afraid to claim to like things.

And fuck this combo, seriously. It wants me to crouching b after I short hop b. It keeps dropping them to the ground though, instead of me catching them with the crouching b. I think it's me fucking up timing, it's only worked when I took it patiently and delayed the b in air longer than normal, but it also has to do with me fucking the jump positioning up too.

That's true enough. I felt kinda bad for her after her involvement with mlp ended after season 1.
She had clear goals and plots for a lot of characters that would never see the light of day, and the show went to shit with season 3 entirely.

I'll try it out. I'm guessing this is going to be a window binary, so I'll boot it up in wine and report back in a bit.

God speed

much appreciated

Unrelated, but if you could pick the next ungulate to be in the game, what would it be? I've heard giraffe tossed around, and imagining it fighting entirely with it's head/neck is hilarious to me.

Coincidentally, I saw him open at an Andrew Jackson Jihad concert a few years ago and I thought he was alright. Although AJJ quickly became shit after that because like you said, they dove headfirst into politics and adopted the worst fucking pop aesthetic I've ever fucking heard while smearing a fuzz filter over everything. I still occasionally listen to their old stuff though.

117chan.org

A game by degenerates for degenerates. Keep pretending you don't jack off to horse pussy.

Nigger i'm not clicking that.

It's not malicious, he just wants a personal army to raid them.

It looks neat, I'm just upset it's not an officially licensed product and still called Fighting Is Magic

t. horsefucker

Needs a yak

UPDATE: This is indeed a windows version of the game from IGG games. Doesn't work out of the box for me, gotta configure wine a bit first.

oh no,i've heard they've been ransacked with a bunch of pullshit warez lately

It used to be called something like that but then Hasbro sent the lawyers after them

Horsefuckers got their run, the fandom is gone except for anyone disabled enough to realize. Them seperating themselves from that brand is for the best. Now it's a new thing, MUCH for the better.

Well there we go, I didn't think it was a virus but I didn't quite want to test.

I also wouldn't be terribly upset if they put in a more traditional deer. Reindeer are neat, but I hate the fuck out of Velvet. The trick would be making it unique enough, which I feel is possible, but then you'd have the people who would go "TWO deer?" despite differences in species.

Well, if there's a public hash of the game available I could check to see if the files been tampered with. It appears to be a steam copy.

Torrent hash?
I aint paying for horsefucker meme fite gaems.

If you're down for it,i've heard nothing but horror stories from the share thread about IGG

I never wanted a fighting game this badly since the last Smash Brothers but then

Good luck with that, I don't think anyone ever got Skullgirls working 100%

game's EA cause they had to delay the story mode a few weeks. The core, fightan things are in there.

Strongly consider suicide, OP.

Does it still have missing frames of animation that appear like doodles which I've seen in the trailers in Fighting Game General? I would maybe buy it, but 300-600 people only now means it's going to bite the dust in a month, especially with only 6 playable characters.

Bet you cry about the Kingdumb Cunt threads as well.

It has like, 2 or three at most. They patched out almost all of them the day after launch, and I bet the last few will be gone in another day.

It only has 6 characters. Why would you waste your time with this shit? Literally worse than Fighting is Magic. Incomplete game.

fags remove thyself.

This faggot has posted a thread about this shitty game like three times and each time it got pruned or deleted.

Nobody gives a flying fuck except pony-loving degenerates. Get this shit off the board.

Those were vols being stupid,we got marks official backing on these now,we good.

reference the images in these two posts >>14392486
also

I still can't get this combo yet, I'm going to try another character for now. I should've given up a long time ago, to refresh my memory and reset but I'm stubborn

Where is the torrent?

ur rappin:fuckin bad

I never said I was good, but it's something about this specific combo that's driving me up the wall.
Link to a google drive was posed above, some user is checking it out. It's virus free so far, but they say they need some configuration to get it running in wine. I don't have a torrent, but there may be one.

I'm going to be real here, I haven't seen an actual brony on this site for like 2 years, so any faggot upset about horsefaggotry is way too trapped in the past. I'd be more worried about regular old furfags, frankly. Anyway, have fun with your probably okay fighting game, the idea of a quadruped fighter is an interesting one, although it might be more interesting if it wasn't the whole cast (I know that's not the point).

You missed a good amount of LOL threads, but whether those count or not is subjective

I've actually noticed more people posting MLP pics in the past two weeks for some reason.

probably push back against the people shitposting these threads. It's a boogeyman people use to get a reaction from what I can tell.

Harbour ponyshit games and they will come out of their holes.

Is that James Allsup's long lost autistic brother?

Not having much luck running this shit in wine, might test it out in a VM instead.

I still haven't had the motivation to watch the entire Horseshoe saga, it's just too much.

report pony posters, I don't disagree. If it's related to a video game, in a thread about that video game, and following all the rules, what's wrong then exactly? If anyone's autistic enough to post ponyshit in other threads, kick their shit in for being cancer. In the end though, how much is it hurting you. Measurably.

Good luck, I appreciate you confirming the download.

Also I've been digging into twitch vods and other cancer to see what people who play fighting games more seriously have to say about the game. Everything I've come across so far has been people really surprised that it's as high quality as it is. I can't find any criticisms except from one guy who was complaining about the online, but he was fighting people with shitty connections. I'm seriously interested in the way the public will react to this game over the course of its first few weeks. It hasn't gotten a lot of coverage yet however. It's almost impossible to predict how this game will trend.

Rip, I guess I'll keep fucking with wine a bit more. Finding my win7 install cd is a monumental task. If people want to use that download link they can, but I recommend they do it on a VM/PlayonLinux instead of directly running it on their machines.

EndlessJess, he's kind of an unconventional youtuber. I don't really care for most of his stuff. That clip in particular is from The Horseshoe Saga, a series of vids where he pretends to be a MLP analysis channel and then proceeds to descend into madness while critiquing other youtube analysis channels. Unsurprisingly, idiots couldn't tell he was doing this in parody and he actually gained a small following of retards. It all culminates in the Horshoe Finale, where it's an hour long supercut of the rest of his shit that aims to beat people over the head about how ridiculous the idea of a MLP analysis channel is, and the amount of drama and bullshit there is in a fandom of autistic manchildren. At least that's what I think, anyways.

I'm surprised this thread wasn't immediately shitposted into oblivion tbh.
Do we have that many closet horsefuckers?

OP's making an experiment to test 8ch's moderation and I'm laughing at the asshurt.

I used to run a blogger site reviewing brony fangames. Most of the games were fucking awful and eventually I left the website and horsefuckery altogether after getting better taste and growing disillusioned with it all.
The first season was alright as a kid's show but really didn't warrant all the attention. I'm surprised there's still fans at all these days.

that was an indirect, secondary objective of the other two threads I had a few days back. This one is seriously just about the game

Anyone else but me can't stand Tianhuo's stage? Something about the darkness of the FG or the colors seems off to me. Not horrible, and it doesn't distract me while playing, but it's very different than the other backgrounds.

rene_descartes_about_retards.jpg

I like it, but it needs some variations like the other ones have. A little different lighting, maybe some steam or clouds in the background or something would really add to it.

Unicorn = TS
Dragon = RD
Cow = AJ
Llama = PP
Deer = Best Pone
Sheep = FS

That'd do it, probably. Some gentle steam right behind the first layer/foreground to make it distinct from the background. Right now, it looks like it blends way too much. My eyes aren't seeing where it transitions well enough. I think it's got to do with having protanopia. Another solution would've been to change the color of the tiles on top of the bridge to a shade lighter. Overall just needs to have a value difference than the background so they look distinct. Pic related.
1 and 2 are un-adjusted, 3 and 4 are with a brighter foreground, and 5 and 6 are with the steam behind the stage. See what I'm talking about?

Unfortunately

The devs mentioned the next character would be a goat on their work streams last year. I don't know if the character concept was locked during crowdfunding, but I'm waiting for them to finish the damn game before I buy it.

TFH seems like a fine option for starting to learn fighting games, but your other options are:
And this isn't counting other emulation like SoulCalibur 2 or Tatsunoko vs Capcom via Dolphin. There are many options and people in the fighting game thread love recommending stuff to new players.

Yeah goat was locked in at crowdfund. It'll be the next thing they work on once 1.0 is complete. They have a couple more characters planned once goat is out.

i've put in about as much combo/lab time as i can enjoy at this point, gonna put it aside until it isn't a single player game anymore. hopefully there's still a playerbase once everything is fixed

what the fuck does paprika even do? i don't understand.

i think the horsefuckers largely lost interest when they changed it from a fangame into it's own thing.

you learn fundamentals by picking the game that looks coolest to you and then getting your ass beat. if you like this style of game, maybe consider getting or pirating skullgirls and going through the tutorials/ community resources for that game since tfh is a simplified version of the same system minus the tag mechanics.
the only other thing to consider is the size of the playerbase/how easy it will be for you to get regular matches in a game since you'll need to get a lot of them to git gud

Yup.

Reading through the thread this is all I take from it.
All of you are more gay then the fucking game.

...

Quickly forgot the game existed even though there was a previous thread before.

I'm sure they're pretty open about on pone. Once they start making a trap fighter, we'll have a civil discussion on the perfect bulge here.

Charge character with teleports, and really good mix ups. You can ape out and get a combo, so new players are either complaining about not knowing how to play her, or are complaining about being beaten by people mashing her

Also I've got SG, I did play through the tutorials before this game came out. I've been doing my best to properly learn fighters, but I appreciate the advice.

Trap Adventure already exists, Trap Fighter is only a matter of time.

FUND IT

if all the characters were traps, and the game revolved around that, nobody would be traps
it's best when sprinkled in, in low doses or you start to really get out of hand

Never, it's best when it's not anywhere in a game.

Spoken like a weak soul who will never find his trap gf.

You would just have to never acknowledge that any of the fighters are male and present it as an all-girls fighter.

choose one

the whole thing died after Hasbro murderraped the show into oblivion through sheer kikery and incompetence. Everyone of worth had already moved on long ago, and all that's left are normalfags incapable of letting go and attention whores who milk them. Anons who post mlp images here are mostly degenerates who stayed around for the smut and circlejerking.

...

yes good… now kiss

Arcade is kicking my ass, I need to learn when to properly go for grabs

They had their own shitty little thread on Holla Forums for awhile after /pone/ died, but they got banned and fucked off somewhere else after throwing a minor tantrum for a week.

Except it has been, this is the most successful thread poneshill has had since he started shilling like one or two months ago

thinkingemoji.jpg

You didn't read the thread nor did you attend yesterday's meta thread, huh champ?

5f66e3a53856f34cbdf98743d33cd10f

There sounds like there's more than one person making threads beside me, I heard the others got deleted because of the sheer amount of shitty content, but I'm not that person. I report mlp related stuff in other threads.

Some of us have had some real talk about the game, and someone is attempting to see if a download for it is safe. Do you have any questions about the game? I'd be happy to answer with my minimal knowledge of fighters.

Judging from all of the (1)s it's one IP hopping faggot throwing a tantrum, thus prolonging the thread.

Reallymakes(You)think

Bleached, shoah'd, wiped, put through a filter. Posts shoah'd not the thread.

none of that is implied. I actually picked up the game because of my interest in learning a fighter. I own skullgirls on steam, so I got a 25% discount on this game on top of it being only 15 dollars. I'd have learned SG instead, but nobody is playing that game. Once I looked into the game, I was able to get over the stigma attached with it. Some other people wont or can't, and that's fine I'm not here to convince them to play it. Shame though, it's an incredibly solid game.

If we want to go down that rabbit hole, the shitposters are also all the same person swapping IPs to try and report the thread

Back to real discussion if you wouldn't mind, or I'm going to start reporting as derailment.

If you were actually doing your best to learn fighting games you wouldn't fucking play SG nor this trash, go to the actual fightan fucking thread and get a fuckload of information on how to git gud at them with an actual list of good fightans.

Go ahead, I only came here to see webms of the cute characters and this thread has disappointed me completely, so I'm not sticking around much longer anyway.

There are only two good fighters
Super Smash Bros
and
Them's Fightan' Herds

fuck you nigger, i don't even play SG but you are the kind of cancer that fighting games need to get rid of

I'd take webms if I could, but I don't have anything set up to do so since I reinstalled everything. I'm also too shit to show off anything well enough. If you want some gameplay, I can give you this though hooktube.com/watch?v=57GS2h9xCRs&t=28s

I've heard so much of this, but so far all it's come across as is "wah I don't like this style of game, play the ones I like insteadddd"

...

Skullgirls is an objectively bad game because the dominant strategy is ginormous combos into tiny, often invisible resets; thanks to the "infinite prevention system" the combos don't even have the decency to deal big damage unless you're playing a single character and kneecapping yourself in neutral.

I don't want to berate you because your (30) posts of defensive autism show you're obviously an insecure faggot and not worth my time, but have you tried any of the games I mentioned in ? Play what you want and do what you want, but if you want to get into a genre as deep as fighting games, you should start with basic or classic stuff, not meme games like Skullgirls.

...

I want you, mare…

Yiff in hell furfag

Well, I learned basically what you said shortly after I played a little SG. What I'm getting at is while TFH is in the z engine, it's got a much different style than SG. From all I can hear, all endorsements from people who have played the game sound like it's a fine game to learn as a first fighter. One or two things may not fall in line with what you might think are healthy ways to learn, however mostly it's straight forward. Lots of people disagree with what makes a good fighter as well, so it comes down to personal decisions in the end. It helps the game has a fresh new community, with lots of new players as well as experienced players. I'm finding plenty of people who know what they're doing in game that have helped me leagues.

Imagine my surprise!
Observe my doubles!

Thanks for giving me a chance to post this again, it's been ages

Whatever happened to Barneyfag?

Yeah SG pretended to know how to do hitboxes in the beginning.

hopefully something horrible.

You must be new.

It's me

Rude

Why didn't you post this in the meta thread? though I'm glad rabbit rabbit is gone

Weren't you so autistic that you were shut in some special ed program with a TV looping Barney episodes for several hours a day?

...

that velvet one fucks me up so hard, probably the only thing I think I'm frustrated about.

I personally wasn't planning on having many of these threads. Just every now and then, when I think enough time has elapsed that there's enough to talk about. Unless someone made one between the meta thread and now this is the first one since Mark clarified the threads were following the rules. If someone else was spamming these, I'd agree with you. The real issue are the people who are so hard pressed about having a not-horse game talked about for a thread so much they come in and attempt to derail it to prove how much they hate it. Childish.

No, because unlike you I dont watch cartoons for kids

You bet

What can I say, /mlp/ is 90% human eqg shit barneyposting there is pointless

You do realize you're more reviled than the ponyfags right?
As in, some people went out of their way to save pony pics to post them specifically to piss you off back when you first started sperging.

You could at least take your autism to /pone/. We're hurtin for PPH

...

Game is actually really solid. Simple enough that new players can pick up the basics pretty quickly, but there's a lot of depth for advanced players to figure out and develop a real competitive scene. I'm not that good, but more experienced people seem to feeling the same way.
The biggest flaw is the tiny cast, but supposedly there's going to be at least 3 DLC characters, and the characters that are in the game are very diverse so it's not as bad as it could be. The only major archetype not represented is big heavy grappler. Balance seems good so far, I suspect a couple characters will need some tuning down once people figure them out, but no one seems unusable or unbeatable. If they can keep the character designs at this level, 9 or 10 would be easily enough.
My PC struggles to run the online and record at the same time, so I've only got a couple random training mode webms.

No, you retards deserve it. You keep watching the show after season 5, rainbow deers, cmc mmc and everything in between, I bet you'll even keep watching it after they force a fucking high school into the show

Oleander looks sick, and I really like fred, but I can't seem to land this. I'm on a dpad, and what ends up happening is I do the last move too slow I think because it always whiffs. I'm not sure if there's a trick to speeding up the input though, because when I try too fast I just do a wrong input.

Also, what's the consensus on the training stage music? I like it, but I bet not everyone likes it.

G5 is coming and and Ill watch that too

It's like you've never seen any Skullgirls footage.

Looks like you're speaking a foreign language to me.

There's no real trick to it, the timing is pretty loose. Maybe you're not doing the fireball fast enough and they get too far away?

literally just got the timing. I guess I got over whatever block I had the other day. I'm probably getting faster. I shoulda tried it a few times before posting, but the other day I did it like 50 times without any success despite how easy it feels now.

dropped

Next you'll say I'm mark because I posted pic related

Nah
archive.fo/K6J4Z

So it's a horse fighting game on Skullgirls engine?

Hey OP, you said you were trawling through twitch streams to find people playing and reacting to the game, right? I have some time to kill; throw me a link or two to someone who isn't cancer.

For what purpose.

Probably because season 8 trailer and the first season of EQ girls trailer were posted recently.

Ungulates, the fighter. All the benefits of the SG engine, but it emulates other fighters more than SG in terms of mechanics.

I used to be a Brony but eventually over time my interest faded away. I can't exactly say what happened that I stopped watching it, but looking back I wonder how the hell I got into it. I've also noticed the lack of Ponyfags and how they appear to be dwindling, I wonder what the fuck happened or if everyone just decided to grow up all at once. Goddamn, I now understand why people hated Bronies and the such.

Sure thing, here's a vod I'm planning on listening more to, but it wasnt that bad overall in terms of streams twitch.tv/videos/232605289

Aside from that, there's an official fighting foenatics stream which wasn't all too bad but that one is related to the game so they're not unbiased.

I'd grab more but I have to go for a second

Is that you jess, do you need publicity this bad? People got tired of paying you to record yourself playing in puddles of rain water mixed with your own trash?

the best part of this vod is toward the end when Nappy (mane6 dev) bodies Max and his crew with the entire cast, and they all start going "holy shit I had no idea that character could do that"

You are really making it hard not to hate you.

It was a decently unbiased stream, it was still pretty cancerous. I'll find better ones in a bit when I get a moment.

Did that unicorn just cancel a super into another super?

Yeah, each character has a lvl 1 super another super which can be done as a follow-up. I'm not a fan of follow-ups like that, personally, but it's an interesting decision because they're all pretty useful.

You can cancel into level 2, and then it kept up the combo and used it's last bar to do lvl1 super again right after

Nice. I like this Akira Ex super cancel stuff.
Might just try this game out

Why would you need to do that unless you're new.
Everyone knows how shit it is.

You poor, poor fellow. Once you're in, you can never escape. Never. Ever. You may think you're out but you'll see a pony that "used to" strike your fancy and you'll be pulled back in. This isn't like furfaggotry, it isn't some easily removable fetish, it's ingrained into your very soul.

wew

I swear that shit is ingrained into my soul. Part of the reason I started watching MLP is because I was a furfaggot. There's some odd fascination with seeing people-like animals that I can't get over. Especially with how different their society would function. As for the fetish aspect, I don't find real 3D women attractive anymore. 2D anime girls can be attractive, but it always feels like something is missing, or I'm just a sucker for tails. I know I need help, I've tried to curb it, but I've had it backfire too. I hate most of the community/fandom that I prefer not to associate with them.

There's a reason even furfags look down on ponyfags.

It's because for the most part they're furfags in denial, only with a very specific interest for horses. It's like being a fan of Tolkien but only liking Elves. And there are faggots like that

Even horsefuckers allow furries their masters

Yeah, backing up what said, I've heard they've been naughty and putting bad shit (ie-bitcoin miners) into their installs.

That first one is like T. Hawk's infamous broken hurtbox on steroids.

Do all fighting games use huge hitboxes like this? It shouldn't be calculation intensive to use a dynamic collider generated from the character sprites for a 2d game in this hardware age.

It's more for ease of play I imagine. If players could have pixel perfect hits and misses it seems more frustrating than just having a box.

Persona and DBFZ are the only ones with truly giant hitboxes across most of the cast. Guilty Gear can have some stupid hitboxes, but most of them are pretty reasonable.
Realism isn't the point of hitboxes in a 2D fighting game. If Axl's chains didn't have hurtboxes on them, he'd be unstoppable because he wouldn't be exposing himself to any kind of counterattack.

I don't know, it looks to me like the move is just supposed to have upper body invul like a 6p from GG, or just meant to low profile shit.

That said, I've noticed that a lot of shit in this game low profiles stuff when it really doesn't look like it should.

Pretty much all fighting games worth a damn do it, and its done for design reasons as opposed to any sort of technical limitations.
It's mostly because 1 to 1 matching of the collision to the sprite just makes for stubbier, far more specific moves in general, and on top of that, if a game goes with that approach, it also means that altering the properties of a move will require them to actually edit the sprite to make the move hit where they want it to.

...

Actually, Street Fighter IV tried this in its development stages. The game feels unnatural because of the way moves would prioritize against eachother. When hitboxes were normalized across the board, jabs were insanely strong because they could outspeed and outprioritize any moves the opponent would throw at you. This led to jabs and disjointed hitboxes (eg Rose's scarf or any sort of projectile) dominating the playtester metagame. When strong moves beat out jabs and fierce moves beat out strong moves, fierce moves dominated the game because nothing could compete with them.

There's an article about it somewhere, but it's been so long that I can't for the life of me remember where. Hitboxes are a natural part of fighting games, and it's a lot easier to balance a game around hitboxes that interact exactly how you want them to than it is to balance it around sprites that might not interact in ways you intended.

You will never escape. There's no point in trying to hide it. Give in. Struggling only makes it more painful.

Frankly I'm surprised there isn't an indie fighting game out there that takes the "intentionally oversimplified graphics" meme to the extreme and has every character actually just be a series of visible hitboxes.

I'd be down with a game where you play as a wireframe fighter and instead of picking a character, you pick a martial art to use. Karate is the jack of all trades, judo is the grappler, muay thai is the gorilla, kung fu is the pixie, etc.

Thanks for the explanation. It feels a unfair for someone who plays fighting games casually as it is when a pro could take advantage of my hitboxes.
It still could be balanced eventually with a lot of trial and error, right?

The thing is, hitboxes have been a staple of fighting games – and video games as a whole – for decades. Trying to map damage zones and vulnerability zones per frame of animation onto a model would take an inordinate amount of time and would likely be less efficient than just using hitboxes in the first place. On the flip side, using the models themselves as a bizarre hitbox-hurtbox combo will inevitably result in oddities. Mapping boxes onto attacks will ensure that the attacks are consistent 100% of the time, and it encourages players to become knowledgeable about the game as well as mechanically skilled.

Explain.

This sentence doesn't make grammatical sense.
See Skullgirls. That game allocated thousands of dollars during crowdfunding to hitboxes (bit of a meme, but still true) and those hitboxes will be ignored much of the time because of the stupidly long combos. Furthermore, having 1:1 hitboxes means you can't simply nerf a move by clicking a few buttons - you need to change animations and everything about the move, which may influence its "readability."

Skullgirls was patched a million times, which was fine due to MikeZ's autism, but impractical for most people.

Even a game like Tekken, where the appeal is using incredibly precise hitboxes to make your opponent's attacks miss, has bullshit. All high attacks will miss crouching opponents, so even if your hand moves through the other guy's face it still counts as a miss. You just can't get away from wonky hitboxes/hurtboxes in fighting games.

...

Don't you ever compare me to that faggot again. I was one of the only people who had doubts about him before we knew much about his "game."

I'm over here douchebag.

You still don't know anything about it.

Except ponies aren't anthro. :^)

So in other words, autistic losers in THE FIGHTING GAME COMMUNITY are to blame for bad games?

Let me rephrase it. When I play, I assume contact is made when opposing sprite touches. Someone who familiarised themselves with the hitbox location can hit me earlier, aiming at a larger area.

There IS an indie game like that, it was on the indie showcase at evo 2014 but I can't remember its name

that fagot was sperging in the fighting game general

Nah, haven't been looking, been too busy just trying to make the game.

you weren't the only one who had doubts

I don't think anyone really knows about what that game actually is gonna be. Including you.

The game's design was decided on and implemented a long time ago. It's just that there were a whole assload of setbacks last June that we're still recovering from, otherwise the demo would've been out by now.

It's been a minefield but we're finally approaching something concrete.

I haven't heard of your game, do you have anything you can show off? Maybe a short explanation at worst?

Stop Applejack, that tickles!

...

>metalcore
You have a lot to learn in the way of video encoding.
Also
>Tara Strong-voiced character

that answer is a no and why everyone still continues to doubt him

You might've heard of it since it's been talked about here and there, but if you haven't, I'm making a fighting game where all the characters are giant women who destroy cities as they fight called "GigaMaidens".

I don't have much in-engine footage right now. Here's some old concepts and models and stuff.

And this shit should be in the fighting game general instead of derailing and filling up a thread about this game.

...

...

What, so it's giant fetish the game? Will the cities have any impact on the actual fighting? What separates it from other fighters, in terms of mechanics? I'm not saying I dislike muscle girls, but it's an odd choice in terms of direction.
Possibly more niche than even THIS game, if it leans too heavy into 'fetish territory'

What is your primary audience and how does this game plan on capturing said audience?

...

Thanks for your interest.

This isn't anything I haven't heard before.

It's still missing animations.

I can't tell if this is bait or what but a bunch of users deleting their own posts/images isn't really a good example of overmoderation.

okay but do you have an answer cause… those other people are right if you don't. It aint gotta be a good one, but that just makes me think you don't.

roll

Pretty much.
Cities have limited interactivity, yes, and some characters have mechanics that tie into building destruction (or so it's planned anyways, we haven't started development on those particular ones).
It's a fairly standard 3D arcade-style fighter, which I guess makes it stand out from other indie fighters since nearly all of them are 2D. Takes inspiration from games like SoulCalibur and Tech Romancer. Characters have special moves and super moves that cost meter to perform. Characters will also be able to use certain super attacks that shrink the opponent.
Like you said, it's pretty niche, but I think that catering to a niche can be beneficial and actually help us gain popularity.

rolling anyway fuck you

Only a frame or two, on things like oleanders teleport. They'll be patched out in a few days at the most, if not sooner. They're working fast and already got most of them finished. since launch.

when I created the TFH thread over a week ago, when it was deleted it showed up as "user deleted own post" when I in fact did not. I don't have a concrete explanation for it
Well, it's about as implemented as possible without turning it into a gimmick. Lots of animations use all the legs, but if you're used to anime fighters it wont feel any different. Check out some footage and you'll see what I mean.
hooktube.com/watch?v=cAHZf0lKpxM&t=33s

and what would that end up doing, mechanically. Cause that's either "im thinking with my dick" or it could have a neat influence on the game- but I can't think of how

Kek so mark is now a confirmed
Beautiful. This fat kike was made for bullying.

>>>/somethingawful/

Originally we had thought of some ideas involving fighting characters at different sizes where if a character got too small they could be instantly KO'd by being squished, but we thought that was too hard to balance so as of right now it's purely a thematic "cinematic super" kind of deal.

>>>/oven/

Like clockwork

Loli is cancer. It is on par with mlp and any other retarded fetish, except even lower.

Got a screencap of what >>14395477 posted? It's gone but sounds like it was an actually on-topic post.

...

Okay, but game designer to game designer here, I'm not here to troll you- you need to seriously consider why you're putting it in, the effects it will have on the game itself, and more. If they shrink during gameplay, it entirely changes the game, probably to the point you wont be able to balance or work it out mechanically. In a different game, maybe, but a fighter? I'm attempting to wrap my head around a character getting smaller and not immediately causing balance issues. And if it's just a cinematic super, I assume there's some plot tied to it, but it's still just fetish material. I don't know if you're overestimating the number of people who are into giants, or what, but it's a low number. The internet tends to boost perception of numbers. Even if the game is good, the subject matter specifically will prevent people from playing on any scale larger than the people into the fetish, no matter how dedicated those fans end up being. TFH gets away with it, because it's not sexualized. If the ungulates were sexualized to any serious degree, like them having supers where they sat on the other one or some fucked shit like that, the audience would be non-existant. Nor would it have been funded, but that's a different story. If you've got an answer to these concerns that's great, but you should seriously think about this. Many games can get away with marketing towards a small audience, but the audience still needs to be somewhat considered or you reach a point too small to sustain.

they said "Hey the game seems pretty interesting. How did they implement the fact that they have only 4 legs into the gameplay?"
They posted a number rolling game in the picture though, which is why I think it got deleted.

How bad matchups can get in this game?
Literally imposible

After zooming and enhancing, lemme just say that Otouto seems like the best option because having a good friend is worth more than having a good lover, but Trap might be worth it if it means I can get shit from Kajinchu.

Oh for fucks sake, here

wew

Connection problem or skill gap?

Again, this is why it's currently a cinematic super and nothing more.

Not really concerned about that. People would dismiss TFH for having fetish shit would severely limit its appeal mainly because it's gross barnyard animals which couldn't possibly appeal to a majority of players except if they were Australian. When we're talking about pretty girls (even if they are rather fit-looking) that's an entirely different story because lots of people will still want to get their bone on.

Skullgirls had a ton of gross guro pandering shit in it, apart from the overweight girls who constantly flashed their panties you had girls who decapitated themselves and made giant yarn balls out of their muscle tissue and shot blood out of their ass. People still got the game. We'll see if it turns out to be as big a deal as you're making it out to be.

I don't think it matters right now, because we're mostly doing the game for ourselves first, and feel that others will follow if we have enough of the right stuff.

This changes nothing.

oof
I haven't run into that yet, but once I do I know I'm not ready

Well, overall it really depends on how big of a deal the fetish side of it is. Good luck, I guess.

TFH isn't blatantly a fetish game, though. Some people may want to dick the animals but that's blatantly not the primary function - They're just fun cartoon quadrupeds.

Your idea is pretty blatantly a fetish game without way around it. Which is cool, you do you; but understand the stigma attached.

Hey GigaFag as much as you hate SG i think the girls are great and you probably are just jelly.
I think its not good for your PR, if you are talking about SG this and that every time you can out there and i mean really every time, as if you had a grudge.

Anyway i wish you luck with your work and hope you deliver .

And again. TFH wouldn't be able to get away with being a fetish game because it's about barnyard animals. My game CAN get away with it because it's about humanoid girls. So let's be intellectually honest here when comparing the two.

It's just for fun, I'm not trying to make a heinous deviantart porn game, it's mostly just funny/cute/sexy things that give the game a humorous vibe. They aren't voring each other or anything.

I could be more interested in your game if you weren't a fucking asshole, you don have to be into bestiality to enjoy Pokemon, you don't have to be a furry to enjoy the Sonic games
You should be working in your fucking game, talking shit of other games is not going to make your game better

You know, I honestly tried for a while to think of a girl I liked in that game, but I just don't like any of them. They're too memey, too much like valley-girl stereotypes almost. I see them in the same way one might see the girls from Totally Spies, I guess they're outwardly attractive but their personalities are all too fucking annoying and all like "lol I'm a girl from LA who really loves her anime references teehee" , so it's impossible for me to care that much.

I'm aware that they had a giant girl in their character vote thingy, and she didn't make it in, although I didn't think her design was that good to begin with and she probably would've been more of the same.

Up yours, pal, read what I actually said or fuck off.

Where the fuck did these giantess fags come from?
Although I do love giant girls

Feralfags are the worst type of furfag.

Imagine how the rest of us feel.

You know, you could be salty with some tact at least.

I don't think the word you are looking for is 'unfair,' its more that the player that knows both his own character's general range AND your character's general range is going to have an edge against the player that doesn't really have a grasp on both, and knowing something like that doesn't even take studying hitboxes or anything, that's just the kind of match-up knowledge you get from playing. Characters are toolkits, and the guy who knows better how his tools function is going to have distinct advantage over the guy who doesn't, plain and simple.
Fighting games are largely about learning and then applying knowledge, and that starts with how these games generally work. Hitboxes and other under the hood shit are definitely concepts you want to be aware of if you are new to the genre, but actually getting decent is more of just getting a feel for the games from playing and practicing than studying any specifics.

You're really not going to do your games favors by posting like that here either. They have a really good point when they say not to fight on here about your game. Just answer questions truthfully, and that's the best you can do. Anything else is harming your reputation, but it already looks like you've done a fair deal of that.

I don't know who summoned him

Up yours, pal.

Yeah I think it's far too late for that. Just shitpost truthfully, that's all I can do.

Up yours, pal.

No, don't shitpost. It's really not going to be good for you. I don't know how much you've been around here, or how you found it if it's recent, but trust me when I tell you that's a horrible idea. You can chose to ignore my advice, but it's GOING to cause even more issues for you

Do you have a believable way for giant girls to be fighting each other in a city? Are they Gods? Are they mutated into giants? Is there a giant city where they're normal sized? I'm interested in the concept, but something about it feels a bit off as opposed to giant monsters like Godzilla or Gamera. Will there be giant men or is there some reason it's only girls?

I was interested too, but I've gone from not knowing who you are to hating your guts just by reading your posts in this thread.

Says the "former" brony. might be starting to have an effect on you, I reckon.

That's what training modes are for. Current year players are ADHD faggots due to the xenoestrogens and fluoride but training and learning is how you get used to anything.

There was a time in the past where I really should've known better than to engage, but in regards to this thread at least, it's already too late.

They all have various reasons for it, but nearly all of them are "deified" in some way - they aren't just girls who are large for no reason, almost all of them have some degree of power that lets them be like this.

Sorry about that, but I guess you've already made up your mind, so I'm not gonna try to change it.

I watched MLP because I used to think it was a legitimately interesting show, not because of a fetish and not because I wanted to fuck the characters you degenerate twat.

Do they have the ability to become normal sized? Is there a reason they're fighting in a city or is that only one of the stages? I have trouble imaging giant skyscraper sized girls wandering around the Earth without it getting too autistic. Just don't let the fetish design the game for you, man.

Without wishing to go into too much detail, it's kind of a heavily complicated story that's mostly about the characters themselves and spans different worlds.

In case you're wondering where all that raised money went if the game's unfinished and selling on early access to get more money:
imdb.com/title/tt2539610/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast

Nobody brought up fetishes in the context of MLP but you. Sounds like a freudian slip mein freund.

Just don't have it be too complicated or you end up with Kingdom Hearts and Sonic '06-tier autism driven plot. Keep it simple enough to be able to understand from a surface-level interest, and if you want to make it deeper for lorefags, go ahead as long as it doesn't contrive the plot.

All I said is that Bronies are furfags in denial. Are you in denial?

probably coulda cut costs by having people apply to voice act, instead of hiring specifically. I'll never understand that myself, it's a better idea to go out and hire new talent giving them actual work experience. You'll be able to pool from a larger quantity of people, and you might end up finding something really surprising. That's not to say I don't enjoy the voices though. Except for the announcer, but it's not that bad.

Yeah thanks, I'm really trying my best to make it not seem like I'm making it up as I go along because I'm really not. I've had this universe brewing for more than 15 years..

Keep digging yourself deeper, mein freund. It's etched into your soul, and you only harm yourself denying it.

Tara Strong I'm sure was desired because it's a reskinned MLP game and she's one of the main actors for it. And an absolute schizophrenic jew, just check her twitter. Probably strings pulled through the Lauren Faust connection as well. But yeah, it's a fighting game. Unless there's going to be a ton of voice work in the story all the talking is going to be one liners and grunts. Much cheaper amateur actors could be used and all those dev costs could have been put toward finishing the game before release.

I'm already a furfag, so if you're trying to reverse by what I said about Bronies being furfags in denial, it doesn't work since I already know I'm a furfag and I still enjoy some aspects about MLP. I'm just not into feral porn.

Would it be able to branch out into other forms than a fighting game or has what you envisioned been entirely about the game? And as I said before, don't let your fetish do the work for you. Is the universe only about giant girls or are there other aspects to it?

Oh yeah, the fighting game aspect of it, and in particular the giantess thing is more recent. Before this I've thought of many different ways of getting it out there until finally I decided a game would be the coolest way to introduce it and the giantess aspect lends a neat hook to it.

its a team of 6 guys, the reason for the unfinished shit and EA wasn't about money, they are just pretty slow at developing, they got additional funding and published by Humble Bundle so they can keep adding characters after launch

Good luck then. Don't get too caught up in your own fantasy though and remember to kill your own darlings and whatnot. I'd hope to see it branch out in other ways.

Even though the show came out in late 2010, it's still really easy to bait reactions with horse shit for some reason.

Either that or people stopped caring as much to respond.

Oh god actual fighting games have dlcs for this?
what happen

Not to my knowledge.

They just give you lobby avatar items for the lobby in TFH if you own any of those other games.

Rollin!

Are they serious or is this a joke?

Not what I'm implying at all. :^)

I'm surprised people are legitimately talking about a fucking My Little Pony game.
Also, hasn't OP made like three threads about this game in the past few days?

Nigger do you seriously need some fucking glasses or is the ponyfags out doing overtime shilling for their shit dlc.

It has better training and netcode than all those three games

Here you go again. Talking about anything is shilling. Existing is shilling. Breathing is shilling.
Is this even English?
Nigger, it's the company behind the engine this game uses and some other indie-tier fighting games doing cross-promotion. It gets attention and potential sales for all games involved. Of course it's serious. Win-win scenario.

the game looked legit, they showed the game to the ArcSys and HB guys and got a deal, you get lobby costumes if you own any of those games on Steam, Sempai notices you when your game looks good enough

Rolling

...

You're the one acting assblasted from my response nigger. All I asked was a serious question if this dlc was real or a joke and you proceeded to lose your shit when I asked that question if that said product was valid.

Okay and thank you for the input.

why not

The artstyle looks like trash
The mlp autism train left to treblinka long time ago
You took too long to develop this and missed it

it's almost like some people judge games based on their actual gameplay rather than some identity politics bullshit like a kneejerk triggered SJW

wait what, did the same people who made skill girls make this game?

No, the guy who made SG just lent his engine to this game.

Get some originality, nigger.

That's the reason low-tier furfags are given, filtered down from artfags and popfurs. The real reason furfags "look down" on any group is because furfags haven't successfully absorbed them, which means the clique that runs the furfag circlejerk gets less potential advertising and commission money than if they controlled ponyfags/monsterfags and were able to bully out competition.
From my experience, furries were basically the brony fandom's jews or goons. They were constantly trying to weasel their way into big websites or conventions and upon obtaining a position of power, they'd bring in their buddies and try converting it into yet another generic furfag circlejerk. They rarely succeeded because as cancerous as ponyfags were, most simply weren't interested in rainbow dogman porn and once the furfag concentration grew too high they moved elsewhere.

Really, furfags have ruined almost everything related to fictional animals because they have this stupidly broad definition of "furry" which exists solely so they can absorb people who otherwise wouldn't give a shit about their awful dog people. Did you read Peter Rabbit as a child? You're a furry. Do you watch cartoons about animals that walk on all fours? You're a furry. Do you like drawings of anime girls with cat ears? Guess what, you're exactly the same as a clique of mouthbreathers who masturbate to dogs with human skeletons so you might as well give up all semblance of taste and fap to rainbow dogs with them.

You're not wrong. There's a far-left circle jerk in the furry community that police's everything in it.

they didnt. they have 6x6 dynamic songs along with last round music, idle music, heavy combo music, etc

clock work

Since anime is so triggering for your delicate sensibilities, would my post be more valid if I included pic related instead?

both furshit and weebshit has ruined a bunch of things. being biased about it doesn't make it better it just gives yourself comfort

...

This is very nice. I suddenly feel compelled to listen to you, fellow biker.

>>>/somethingawful/

Playing devil's advocate for the pic, the face is arguably the most important part of human anatomy to humans. It's what we focus on most for recognition and emotion. When we create portraits, it's of the face. It's why most anthropomorphic versions of animals give them a much more human-like face, even when they keep the basic animal skull structure. Hell, reaction images are almost purely of faces, because that's where we best identify something's emotional state. It's just how our brains normally work.

user, both the "human" parts are from an actual /monster/ pic. There's no use arguing against one of the weakest strawmen in existence.

Tianhuo is actually pretty good against Oleander. Her forward dash low profiles fireballs if you time it right, her 1D magic flip has a trajectory that is very hard for her to cover without a hard read, and you can blow up any of her projectiles or traps except lvl 3 page with attacks and her 5b and 2b are fantastic at it.
I haven't found any matchups that feel impossible, but some are harder than others and there's definitely some specific knowledge required.

Furry is more of a self-given title that makes it easier to find talking animal cartoons. To me, it's similar to a fascination with aliens or fantasy races, they're interesting in that they seem similar to us, but are also very different and exotic. i.e. liking Sci-Fi often makes it easier to find alien stories. You can like Zootopia, Peter Rabbit, Star Fox, etc and not be a furry. But when you have an interest based around the fact that they're animals, that's when things start to change. Wondering how an animal society would function, wondering what kind of animal you'd want to be, etc. Bronies seem to have their interest based on the fact that the characters are ponies and that's why I say they're similar to furfags in that regard. That's also why most Bronies won't say they're furries, because their interest lies solely about ponies. Again, being a furry is mostly a self-given title, and I'm not saying everything I stated makes you a furry. But it gives you shared common traits between furries. Someone who enjoys Star Trek won't always be a Trekkie nor does enjoying Lord of the Rings make you a Tolkienist. And as I said before, I hate a majority of furries for the reasons you listed.

It's probably also worth pointing out the connection to Arcsys through Skullgirls, since they did the SG publishing in japan they already had an in through MikeZ.

I never pretended anything. :^) Also we have IDs here, newfag. I'm not OP. I just know that videogames can be discussed on the videogame board.

clearly it can't or 1/2 of this thread wont exist.

It's out already?

Sure is, come join in the ass pounding

It says on IGG I have to start steam beforehand and I don't want that shit. Maybe I should wait for a better crack.

Sorry if that's a deal breaker, lots of things are coordinated through steam including unlockable free cosmetics
Can't say whether you could play offline or not but you'd miss out on pixel lobby and matchmaking.

Alright. I'm downloading steam.

How is Holla Forums pixel lobby called?

we just don't have one as of now, feel free to pick one and I'll hop in

well, if you ever chose one I'll be back in a little while, I actually have to run an errand

It seems like I can't play online anyway. What a shame, I loved the game. Will wait for story mode because I've always played fighting games offline anyway.

Playing anyone other than Oleander in current year + 3
