Fighting Game General - Old Men, Cat and... Pokémon? Edition

Oda along with the older part of XIV production cast is a RealBout/Garou dev. Max did it for free. He was going to add it anyway.

FOR FREE

Oda Non should be the art director for Soul Calibur Sex

Let's hope Harada never finds the cubicle where the SC6 team is working. I bet they're all in some supply room with a fumigation sign on the door just to avoid him.

He's a great artist but on what he does but I dunno if he could helm the whole thing. One of the best cheesecake artists but we don't know much of his work as a designer and a artist for this needs to be an expert on both cute grills and gentlemen of significant proportions which I think Kawano is pretty good. Would kill to see some pin ups of the SC girls by Oda though.
But I dunno why you brought up him, my Führer. None of those pieces are by Oda.
Now this reminds of that Chronicles of the Sword save I have in SCIII where I had a whole party of Queen's Blade characters. The miko was the only passable one. Fun times.

Btw, now that Fate got brought up, be prepared for some best "girl" posts.

Dramatic finishes confirmed for both Broly and Bardock.

I doubt it since Tekken 7 has three guests. Not sure who to expect, though.

If there will be another character, it might something to pander to the Japanese audience, like how Geralt was added to pander to Westerners. 2B does fit that bill.
I just hope it's something with a design that fits the style of SC6 and I don't just mean the costume. Geralt looks like he was imported directly from Witcher 3 and the Yoshizaki Mine guest character in SC4 was put into the game while keeping his art style (I'd argue the same went for Necrid). Basically - these fuckers don't bother adapting the characters to the art style so I hope it's nothing that sticks out like a very sore thumb like a Granblue Fantasy character or something.

Polite sage.

I honestly can't tell if that's Kukri or Najd. If it's the later, well, come back Laura. I take back what I said about your hair.

You mean Ciri or a FGO bitch? The later are all obvious fapbait. Raikou alone would give them a aneurysm.

But what if her assdive is so strong that she gets banned at tournaments?

As a Amazon main I find that tempting but I'd pass. I think VW's creations should stay 2D. They'd either look weird in 3D graphics that don't mimic 2D or they'd be adapted to the style of the "host" game and end up looking very bland.
That said and provided I end up getting the game, I might try making a Amazon inspired character with Astaroth's move set.

OK, that makes sense. She's a fuckin' insufferable Mary Sue so no wonder they'd like her.

That leak got me curious to check on SNK related twatters and the SNKH related comic strips.

I don't know, the 3D statues looked pretty good. I think that all depends on the ability of the artist behind the models.

I think it is Najd, see the red scarf? The high collar? It is her.

If they ban assdives, we ban tournaments!

That they do mostly because they reproduce the art style very faithfully. And that's the thing, Amazon in SC6 would either have a toned down figure to fit with the rest of the characters or go in as is and would look horrifically out of place with a washed palette to boot.
She'd be perfect for my idea of how SC should be though. I said it in a previous thread, for me the ideal style for SC would be very stylized anatomy and simple costumes done in cell-shaded cartoon-eque graphics.
I'm still salty DC Pro doesn't have new content. I'll admit - I'll goy the second they announce some meaty DLC for it.

Sure it's not a converted Krizalid?

Nice dubs, but…

I think a good artist can reproduce Amazon to SC 6 art style and keep her archetype faithful.
I mean, versions are not a problem, but artists who do not understand the character is. And, to be honest, Bamco artists are far from the worse in the market. And they managed to convert designs like Oh! Great's Ashelotte.
It is not going to happen, we know that, but I think it could work very well.

And yeah, she did had a Krizalid vibe. Maybe they will make her a female clone of him, since it is clear that new NESTS still appear in the story.

Thank you for plugging Arika's Facebook page.
Don't forget that fan contest was sponsored by a Saudi media company responsible for buying all the Arab representation in fighting games and Japanese media these days: Shaheen in Tekken, Rashid in SF, Najd in KoF.
Is this game actually any good? I'd like to know if it's worth $30 Canuck bucks.

Apparently TW3 sold very well for such a Motherfucking Western Game in Japan when it released, so I think the fanbase for it may be more international than you're giving it credit for.

any source on them actually buying arab representation in vidya?

I really doubt it, sounds like they saw an unexploited market and they went for it. UAE is one of the fastest growing markets for video game sales, the PS4 is particularly popular among sand niggers (I believe they mainly play soccer games, not sure).

manga.com.sa
They sponsored the fanart contest which led to Majd being created and codified as a KoF character. Have a look around their website for yourself and see what the damage is.

manga.com.sa/events/designing-a-saudi-combatant-character-competition/
This would be the least vague thing I found on there related to them having a tangible influence on vidya outside of speculation

I don't know if you work, but when you want to get into a market, you get in contact with companies that know that market and or have influence on it. We cannot tell based on this that it wasn't Bamco/SNK that reached out to Prince Muhammed (PBUH) to get a muslim friendly design for their game.

Why is Darkstalkers such a clusterfuck in terms of versions? Every version always seems to take/add something from the previous one that is really confusing to follow. Is there any version that actually have all the characters in?

Shame this always ends up the same 3 people with the same 4-5 characters. Knee (D Jin) beats JCDR (Dragunov). No announcement.
Now for Kebab Fighter V.

I think only some home versions of Vampire Savior (Saturn, PSX and DC) have the entire cast. The last re-release could have had them but Capcom didn't want to trigger the arcade fidelity fags.

I think if all the new characters were as well-designed as Menat (without censorship, obviously) and as interesting to watch and play, there would be far less stigma attached to it.

Welp now we know what changes Nicalis forced on Studio Saizensen to make in Blade Strangers they mentioned during the reveal stream; Smash bros inputs.

They mentioned this during the E3 reveal trailer. You shouldn't be surprised. What I'm surprised about is the inclusion of a second Umihara Kawase rep; it makes me wonder about the rest of the roster and who it will or won't have (I'm worried it won't have Quote, or iw will have an emphasis on random side characters).

There is three now, they added Yokoyama

1st and 2nd place? Yeah, the skill gap is too high. We recently had Channel on second place with his Eliza. In the top 8 there is variety (Akuma, Paul, Alisa, etc), I'm pretty sure a Chloe got into that group recently.
Qudans is more of a normalfag and can't always join, he is also on the top 3 best players. The issue is the absence of a true competitive scene outside of Korea and Japan, even US scene isn't what it was, Europe fell off the map. Good players are forged on tournaments, online isn't the same.

Yeah, even the gameplay aspect of the character is an outliner compared to the other newcommers.

Fuck, I don't even remember Yokoyama since I haven't played the third game in close to a year.

I thought the Tekken scene was optimistic because a lot of US players bubbled at Strongstryle 6 despite only having half a year with the game. ELeague was full of (what looked like) good Tekken, too, although I suppose that's less interesting due to the nature of the event.

The blue hair one with the bullet time powers. It's not really surprising that there would be 3 Umihara reps since the whole game was gonna be solely a Studio Saizensen before Nicalis sold their snake oil to them.
damn shame sega didn't throw some cash their way again instead.

Infiltration takes it again. Menat getting the nerf hammer soon.
Announcement is FALKE NEWS.

Yes.

Dubbing!
So, it will be another kind of boring character. Is she that different from Zafina? It would be interesting if she waa struggling with the djinn trying to get hold of her body, mix between Chizuru at some moments and Vice in others.
Oh well.

Probably no ban hammer for the cat. She is not that easy to use in comparison to other characters. People will not start winning more matches with her out of the blue.

I think 2B is overrated at the moment. Many other good characters would deserve the spot. But, more important, Bamco hates crossovers with female characters, so much they don't do it.
Spawn, Necro, Link, Heihachi
Yoda, Vader, Apprentice. But all the special characters from comic artists were female
Kratos
Ezio
Akuma, Geese, Noctis
Geralt
They do not want waifus that are not their own, I guess.

or maybe they already have plenty of female characters in the roster as it is.

Could be this or the simple fact that the most popular characters out there are males (due to the demographic that plays video games the most).
They also had the animu characters from guest artists on SC4.

Wish we saw MBC there too but he isn't going to American tournaments I guess

Whats with all the crossovers lately.

We got a new MVC.
We got Blazblue Tag Battle coming up.
We got new smash bros, which is probably going to have non-nintendo characters again.
Soul Calibur is continuing to do its thing of guest characters
Tekken 7 is going all over the fucking place with them, despite not having any guest characters in previous games except Gon.

What? Source?

Reminder that fighting games are for niggers and spics only.

The fat nigger wasn't half bad, but all of them were shit. The Kilik was cheap, but did some stuff right. The rest were forgettable.
The game looks fun, very fast.

Looks like クリームパン (kuriimu pan). Not that uncommon in Japan, never seen a boob-shaped one.

And that's why Japan and Korea have the highest number of top players. Those two countries are filled with niggers, almost 56% of the population.

Don't the slavs also play them?

No idea, they don't exist at competitive level. Frech used to have some presence on international matches, other than that, it has always been: Japs, Koreans, some americans (mainly on NRS shit, but also on good fighting games) and the soy-boys that play Smash (mostly american, but they all look weird). China also has people doing well on SNK.

Would a show of hands of what everyone has as a main fighting game be out of the question? I just really feel overwhelmed with the variety of games to start with.

Blazblue here. Chronophantasma Extend to be exact.

Attached: 67812430_p0.png (900x1400, 882.89K)

GGXrd is mine. It's a great place to begin if you're willing to jump in the deep end. UNIEL is also good because it's pretty simple and emphasizes fundamentals; Melty Blood is similar but it's kinda janky and the balance leaves something to be desired.

Older SF games like 3S and Alpha 2/3 (provided you ignore the broken characters, and custom combos) are also good. Darkstalkers is also simple, but it's fucking fast and a bit of an acquired taste. Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R is deeper than Xrd, but lacks the tutorials and has a much smaller community.

What do you want out of a fighting game, user?

Tekken 7 and Killer Instinct here. Most likely Soul Calibur 6 too when it comes out

Thinking of getting into King of Fighters guys is the triple pack on Steam worth getting?

I'm a Tekken man through and through however I play a lot of Blazblue/Guilty Gear as well (Guilty Gear is superior in every way), I also love SoulCalibur and Mahvrel with a passion and I even enjoy Mortal Kombat and Injustice on occasion. I'm absolute shit at Street Fighter but still at least try. The way I look at it Fighting games are pretty much the most pure genre of vidya left and the communities are usually filled with pretty great people aside from the most autistic of tourneyfags.

He was close: it's only non-whites who playing fighting games. Yes that includes asiatics like slavs.

I just want something fun, but its hard to gauge what works best for me and I cant test them all out. Deep end works for me though, I enjoy complexity in mechanics. Something stylish would be nice. Although I can't get into DBZ because I am not a fan of the show or power levels.

Is Chronophantasma better then Central Fiction?

Tekken and Soulcalibur seem very 3rd person ring based, what is the direct appeal compared to other fighters as they seem very different then the 2D fighters.

My main one is KOF'98 but I've been playing KOFXIV and DBFZ too as besides being fun, they have an active scene in my region with locals and tournaments.

XIV is the most beginner friendly with its inputs and system and it's the most similar to '98 in "feel" ever since… 98UMFE. But what I like about '98 is how good the buttons of the characters feels, that it's more of a "system based" game so if you learn the system, you're already set to play with many characters and is not a "combo heavy game". Short combos that deals high damage, nice cast that grabs the late 90's style when the game was released .

It should be noted that Blazblue is "an iteractive series" and its latest and most played one is Central Fiction. Blazblue Cross Tag Battle is a spin off being a tag game with 2 characters on each team with a very different system.

For the 3rdStrike and Alphas, I would recommend to not fall for the memes like parries and custom combos. This is more advanced stuff and you should learn to learn the basic gameplay before diving in these mechanics.

Don't forget the Paki who destroyed everyone in 3rdStrike here.

I'm going to sound like a faggot here but in regards to Tekken everything is just so tight and easy to pick up but hard to master also MUH LIMB BASED INPUTS. SoulCalibur on the other hand, I got into because of the story to a degree and then got really into the gameplay side of things, once again like Tekken it's real easy to get into and really hard to master unless you're playing SoulCalibur V which just turns into a fucking spamfest mechanics wise. I'd say just give them a try because odds are you'll find a character you like and can build a foundation on learning the mechanics of each game.

Personal taste. I like the way CPE plays over CF but CF is the newest in the series and as such has the largest audience. I normally play with AI thanks to my location so player count isn't a big deal to me.

And as said it's a series so if you care about the story you'll at least need to play CSE, CPE and CF to get it. Also if you choose to get into the story, good luck with that…

3d games usually don't have many special moves like fireballs and movement is the most important part of them. People who like this kind of stuff usually prefer them. I like their animations a lot more than 2d ones too

Xrd or UNIEL seem like good fits for you. They both have good tutorials, too (Xrd in particular) which helps immensely.
In addition to what other anons said, 3D games require players to take many more risks compared to a 2D game which is played in "turns." 3D players generally enjoy the feeling of interactivity and aggression the games give them.

While you might like "deep end", I really think that you should learn the basic stuff first. The most common mistake a beginner usually do from what I saw with the income from DBFZ is learning combos and setups from videos but not learning HOW to land those or the situations that is most favorable to to it so they get rekt by someone who only knows simple stuff but also to shut down the opponent.

Well, it is in a 3D space so movement is quite different thant the 2D ones and interactions with the stage like wall bounce, stage transition and ring outs adds to layer of depth while it's not exclusive to the 3D subgenre since games like Injustice and older like older Fatal Fury games have those stuff.

I myself am more of a Virtua Fighter and DOA guy but love SoulCalibur for its lore. Gameplay it changed a lot from being a "Virtua Fighter with swords and parry" with freedom of movement in the first few games to be more 2D-ish with meter management, how 8-way run works and other stuff that is present in SCV and also in the new SCVI.

Both Tekken and SC have more males than females, so, it is not an excess. Hell, while DoA already have plenty of ladies, they decided to add Sarah, Pai, Mai and Ii.
I also said they add the girls on SC4, but none stayed.
Thinking about it, if there is one character with zero chances that could be great, because of the design and instances.

Guilty Gear and Blazblue in that order. UNIEL is pretty good too. Just pirate the newest version of either game if you're on PC and see what you like. You can also play some older stuff on Fightcade like Third Strike if you're looking for something more conventional.

Does anyone here have this? I want someone to play it with.

It helps that there's actually people that've touched a fighting game before playing it, because before it looked like hot garbage.

Gonna need to see the better side of the roster and then lose all interest because Namdai are gonna reach new heights in hebrew devilry.

KoF XIV…kinda. Truth be told, I haven't played it in eons.
Used to play FGs a lot more. In the DC era, I'd play every single one I could get. Nightwarriors (Saturn) and Soulcalibur (DC) remain my favorites.

Probably will be a costume, judging by his moveset.

That's because Nightmare was still using his body.

And that's the same case in this game unless they change something in the story to retcon SCII.

I'm in the middle of transitioning to another fighter but don't know what to stick with. Arcana Heart and Koihime Enbu seem like the ones I want to stick with. But I'm also interested in UNIEL.

3rd Strike, though I've been trying to learn FighterZ as of late since it's simple and really flashy. I'm relatively new to the fightan genre and the main thing that really appealed to me with 3rd Strike was the parry system. I'm also trying to learn some Tekken 7 since it's fun and I know a lot of people who play it.

Skullgirls. I know my taste is questionable. Also playing Xrd on the side, used to play UNI but the latest version of that isn't on PC right now.

vsav and vf5 are the only 2d and 3d fighters worth playing

I don't really think that VF should live only through DOA but I'm glad it happened in DOA5 although where's Aoi in a game about counters dammit! since Sega does fuckall with the franchise. At least the Yakuza6 port should have online with lobbies just like the PS3 version.

If you count the special characters from IV and Necrid, you should count KOS-MOS in III too

I think Menat is a mess of a design with NRS-tier animation on her kicks and her "theme" reminds me of Eliza but not as good. I guess pandering to otaku seemed to work for her not having the same backlash as Abigail or Ed.

Friends, I want your advice:
I was thinking of getting BBCTB for my Switch until all of the DLC ridiculousness came out, which changed my mind. Yet everyone i've talked to so far has told me that "that's pretty normal for games these days" and that even with half the cast being DLC it's still a "good deal".

What are your thoughts? Should I get it or stick to my principles? Is it reasonable or are my normalfag friends wrong?

Attached: DBBpJwRUAAAY_kg.jpg (256x236, 16.88K)

It's $40 for the base game and $30 for the other half of the cast, which is ridiculous but unfortunately not the most ridiculous thing going on. If your friends are gonna get it, just play with them and see if you like it.

Your first problem is being friends with normalfags. Their attitude of this being normal and pretty good is why scummy DLC practices continue to happen. I'd wait it out for the inevitable BBCTB Extend with the full roster. And if you absolutely can't wait, then get a pre-owned copy so at the very least they wont see as much money come back to them. Either that or split a copy between you and your friends if possible. you're shit out of luck here if you only know them online.

Given me something to think about, cheers.

From the rumors I hear SFV might not be supported by Sony anymore. can't really find a good resource on it tho

For those playing DBFZ, what team can you recommend for someone that mains Dr. Doom, Magneto and Morrigan? I need a team with great zoning but with good melee attacks in case of emergency.

sup guys.. I just saw 98um on the psn for ps4… has anyone got it? I want to know if it has online.

That is a rerelease of the PS2 version of 98UM, so no netplay and kinda weird controls (my Hori FC doesn't work because you need a touchpad) along with outdated balance (OP Extra mode and insane Wolfgang Krauser). On the plus side it does still have vanilla 98, along with the color edit modes, arrange soundtrack, and 3D backgrounds that got removed from the release of 98UMFE.

You did it on purpuse, right?

Well, you should've told the real name of the game before then. I can't follow everything and at least the Pokkénfag told specific news about his game.

Wasn't Valkyrie the 3P costume for Cassandra in II? And to me KOS-MOS is the same as those girls in IV since none have a proper style and are just "premium skins" and to unlock the KOS-MOS parts you needed to "max lvl" each CaS style I think so I always considered her an alternative Edge Master but to the CaS styles.

Well, me and my friends will wait for a sale probably at the end of the year. Even if it's just for the base game since for now only Jubei and Aegis interest me, I already have Rachel, Nu-13, Chie, not expecting Tao anymore and no hope to get Akatsuki. So I don't think I will spend much on DLC this time.

The Steam version is a straight arcade port so CodeMystics simply didn't add the console stuff. Not that "it was removed". Also the 3D backgrounds had slowdonws on hte PS2 but you can just turn them off.

While Krauser is not broken anymore, Extra in UMFE is still broken and on top of it Eiji exists so a Step Eiji can walk faster than 1/3 of the cast can run. And that's not mentioning his anti air.

Since it's an emulated port, it'll probably have input delay like the XI port on the PS3 so if you want to play vanilla '98 I would recommend the ACA port even with the censored opening. But if you like the additions to the game go for it.

How I wish 98UMFE had actual lobbies. Does anybody knows how the '97 Global Match will work? If it's CodeMystics again I have no hope for it.

Well, I think only Freeza can be called as "true zoner" in DBFZ. I don't think anyone is like Magneto in that game but they could have done something to Tenshinhan like 8-way air dash since he was the first character to show he could fly in the series.

ASW isn't struggling financially like smaller devs, they've got no reason outside of jewing for BBCTB's DLC bullshit. It's pretty fucking obvious they're doing what capcom did for SFV; rushing the game out to get that EVO money (even more obvious considering it's a main evo game) and then making everyone pay for the rest of the game instead of delaying it to sell as a complete package. Just pirate the PC version and wait for the eventual "complete edition" to go on sale if you want it on the switch.

Red fireballs knockdown on hit. Or at least they used to. Maybe they changed it in Ultra, but the difference was knockback fore blue or knockdown for red back in Super.

I'm really considering getting a fighting game anons, but I'm not very good. I've been looking at injustice 2, is it any good? It looks fun but I've heard it does not have a big playerbase so it might be rough trying to get into PvP and also capeshit, which I'm not a huge fan of but I don't particularly hate either. Is it worth shilling out the cash for the ultimate version?
Also are there any games anons recommend to get/wait for? What series have the best fighting mechanics in your opinion?

Do you like 2D or 3D graphics?
Do you like 2D or 3D gameplay?
Do you like anime or do you want something other than weebshit?
If you want to get started somewhere, anywhere, then find a version of Street Fighter 2 (Turbo and up) and play that to get a feel. For better or worse, it defined the genre and games are still building on its fundamentals to this day.

If you're not into capeshit, there isn't much reason to get into Injustice 2. NRS games are their own weird little niche that play unlike the vast majority of other 2D fighters and tend to be worse in terms of utilizing and teaching fundamentals you would need if you wanted to get into Capcom's, SNK's, or Arcsys' games. I'd consider Injustice 2 to be a fun game to play still, but it certainly isn't where I'd recommend starting.

Building on what this user said, Indigala has this sale for $10 right now. Is this a good place to start for someone who has really only dabbled in fighting games before?

Attached: sale.jpg (1580x549, 335.92K)

It's a decent value but all of those are older games that aren't played anymore, so the main appeal would be playing through the stories to play the one you get a coupon for.
If you're just looking to get into fighting games try playing games that catch your eye on Fightcade, it's essentially free and you have near all of fighting game history up until the late 90s-early 2000s to try out.

I can only imagine going online ending very badly anyway. My SF2 strategy back in the day was spam heavy kick and jump a lot.

It actually has a story in comics. The main question is if they can linger around long enough to escape the dunken bullshit.

Dat still works.. lol

At the risk of sounding like a snotty weeb, Injustice 2 is awful both to behold and to play, so no.
What do you want out of a fighting game? I'll always take the opportunity to shill Guilty Gear, but if you're just starting out then something like UNIEL or old Street Fighter is probably better.

As the other user said, those games are out of date so no-one plays them anymore. Blazblue is, well, an acquired taste and might give you a poor impression due to the focus on combos, unfair overheads, and mixups.

Well it's not like old Street Fighters aren't 25 years old either.

What's something that would give a good impression then?

Yep, I can see it happening.

Not really. Frankly it really depends on your playstyle. Injustice can be a blast, but it is not a game that can make you attracted to it easily, mostly because, yest, it is ugly as fuck.
But when you start to understand the mechanics some characters have, the game have a pretty good amount of depth to play with.
NetherRealm deserves all the the shit they receive for their models and animations, but they have been pretty good with the gameplay in general.
Of course, as in every fighting game, not all characters are created equal, and some can be more abused than others.

But, frankly, why ask people to play only the newest games? I mean, we know some games on each franchise are very unique on their own.
Hell, we could even recommend some arcade exclusives too, why the hell not, with the nesicaxlive emulator, and all, there are some very unique titles to play with.

And talking about unique titles, does anyone remember the name of that PS3 fighter that looked like and RPG, with elves and all, you could chose two character to play with, and it had items too. I think it is available on Japanese PSN, but I can't remember the name.
By the way, if people know of specific fighting games that were never ported but might deserve a chance, I think we could make some lists for people to dive into.
For games with interesting mechanics. I would go with:

If you want a modern game with tutorials, then Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 and UNIEL are the standouts.

If not, then old Street Fighter, like 3S (parrying is a bit of a meme) and Alpha (without custom combos) and maybe Darkstalkers/Vampire Saviour. People still play those games in Japan for a reason, and they're very fundamental. UNIEL is probably the best SF-esque game on the market right now, but it has a small playerbase due to the weeb designs. Dragon Ball FighterZ is everywhere now so you'll never want for people to play with, but it's a Bamco game so that means it has Denuvo and thus should not be purchased. There is also a season pass for it, which sucks.
Them's Fightin' Herds is good, but I wouldn't buy it until it's out of Early Access and feature complete.

If you want a 3D game, then Soulcalibur 2 emulates very well on Dolphin, and it's essentially all fundamentals. Tekken 7 is both popular and a good Tekken game, but it has Denuvo so you shouldn't buy it.

My playstyle is that I dislike games where moving feels like wading through mud and none of the combos or strings seem to have any rhyme or reason to them. I've played Injustice 2 for about an hour, and even when I used Aquaman and just threw drills and tridents at people, I wasn't enjoying myself because the game never felt like it wanted me to do anything cool.

Chaos Breakers, and it's 3 on 3. It received a PS3 port to Japanese PSN under the title Dark Awake: the King has no Name. I need to get around to downloading it myself.

Hey you were the one going on about out of date games.

I look at that DBZ and just see chaos, which is show accurate but too much for me. Guilty Gear looks good though, UNIEL is pure weeb but hey if it's good. What are they notable for if BlazBlue is about combos?

If you're new to the genre and liked the designs, I say go for it. In the old days at the arcades many liked the games for its characters and speculated a lot about the lore of Street Fighter, Fatal Fury, KOF and Mortal Kombat. Blazblue games have tons of content. Central Fiction is the "current" and most played version but I don't know how many will jump the ship to BBTAG since its system and DLC practices are so different.

If you don't enjoy capeshit there's not much reason to like the game unless you really like the NRS games gameplay style. You can still pirate/buy MKX to see if you do.

For both, in a general way, look at the designs of the characters and for gameplay videos and see if you will like it to play. For example, hitting a lot of buttons to perform a flashy combo ending up in a huge explosion like in Dragon Ball or in its case you can do a less damage autocombo if you want or doing a simple and precise slash dealing huge damage in Samurai Shodown.

Also if graphics matter or more specifically, if oldschool sprites bothers you or not. For free available stuff on Fightcade, I say:

As for paid stuff, like others said, Dragon Ball FighterZ is probably the easiest to get into without "compromising" inputs like Fantasy Strike or Pocket Rumble. UNIEL, Guilty Gear Xrd, Blazblue and Skullgirls have good to great tutorials. KOFXIV is the easiest KOF to get into. Injustice2 and MKXL are on their own style just like 3D games like DOA5LR and VF5FS.

SoulCalibur III Arcade Edition is basically a non-busted version of SoulCalibur III that was never ported or emulated as far as I know. Please tell me that I'm wrong.

Attached: Heres a gif I think most of us can get behind.mp4 (350x202, 398.03K)

UNIEL is a very neutral-heavy game with fullscreen normals and a lot of emphasis on fundamental offence like tick throws and frame traps; there is also a "taking turns" mechanic built into the game that emphasizes both good defence and good pressure. There are plenty of aggro characters with big damage if that's what you like, though.

Guilty Gear is a legacy series with a lot of busted shit by the end of the final iteration, XX Accent Core + R, and Xrd is the new iteration compared to the decade-old XX series. It has a lot of old school anime mechanics (push to tech, 0f throws, spending meter to air block, character-specific facedown and faceup wakeup timings, etc.) and some truly degenerate offence, but the volume of system mechanics and the checks & balances applied to damage/hitstun scaling keep most of it in check. The characters are all wildly different from one another, without the "character mechanic" button you find in BlazBlue and some other contemporary games.

BlazBlue was made by ArcSys at a time when they were confronted with the possibility of losing their ability to develop GG due to copyright jewry, so many characters in it are watered down versions of GG characters, and the same is true of several system mechanics like BB's Barrier compared to GG's Faultless Defence. The series has its own niche, but even as a youngfag who started with Xrd, BB seems to be a weird combination of baffling, combo-heavy gameplay AND dishonest neutral, which rubs me the wrong way.

Ultimately, you should experiment with your friends you have friends, right? and find the game you like the most, because as much as information helps you make decisions, it can also give you unwarranted negative opinions of games you otherwise wouldn't play. Case in point, I always thought Marvel vs Capcom 2 was a degenerate mess of combos and other horseshit, but it's perfectly playable at a casual level. If you want to get some games on sale and try out BB, go right ahead.

Half of that's Greek to me but I can suss it out through context.

Ohhhh that's what was happening in the videos I watched. I was wondering what they were doing.

Guilty Gear still looks the most interesting, but with all the bullshit it may be better to start with UNIEL to get the basics down.

SNK games have "push to tech" and 0/1 frame throws ever since the early 90's. Just saying.

And while the characters in Guilty Gear might try to have each one different enough from the other, the system in Xrd like PRC, Danger Time and somewhat YRC making me remind of safe-ish situations FADC did in SFIV that comes to me as "disonest neutral" too. Even highly arguable mechanics in Blazblue like Exceed Accel and Active Flow don't bother me as much as those in Xrd. Also I particularly like Blazblue designs and "character gameplay" more than Guilty Gear I think I only found May and Jam fun? Maybe I-no and Axl but that's it.. Worldbuilding and "theme" too.

And just I hate Danger Time, I don't like randomness or characters that have to rely on luck as a mechanic. And I say as someone who likes Chang in KOF. It might be fun to mess around with friends but that kind of stuff puts the game or match at the same tier as a party game.

(Gameplay starts at 14:30)
Yeah, the GRD tug-of-war at the bottom gives one player a 10% damage boost and a character-specific buff every 17 seconds. Both games have great tutorials, so you're set either way. There's something to be said for jumping in the deep end, but UNIEL is tonnes of fun.

"Old school mechanics," then, pardon me.

I get what you mean about YRCs/PRCs, although in my experience they tend to lead to winning neutral rather than the BB flowchart of unreactable mixup > full conversion > favourable knockdown, which feels more dishonest to me. Maybe my reactions are just too bad. It's stupid, but it's a reactable, known quantity of stupid.

BB character designs make me want to vomit, so there's that, too. No accounting for taste, eh?

If that's all that GRD did, people would just ignore the system. The important part is that it also gives you access to a mechanic called Chain Shift. Activating it consumes your vorpal state (removing the 10% damage bonus and character-specific buff), but does the following:
a) Freezes time for both characters for about a second, so you (and your opponent) can assess the situation and take your best possible action. As it is also invincible on its 1f of startup and has no recovery, you can mash it on defense, while in blockstun, and punish any attempt to frametrap with Chain Shift into your reversal of choice. So, in pressure, the attacker has to play very respectfully against a defender in vorpal state.
b) Can be used to cancel most things in the game (exceptions being DPs on block and recovery frames of most moves on whiff and such). There's no other RCs in the game, so this is a very powerful option that, for most characters, can get you in for free, allow a strong conversion off their otherwise unconvertable neutral tools, reset pressure at massive plus frames or all of the above.
c) Gives you meter depending on how many blocks there are in your GRD gauge, at a rate of 20% per block normally, but at a far lower rate if your opponent is in hit- or blockstun. The refill isn't instant, but takes a short time.
Also, you can spend your vorpal state for a free guard cancel instead, but that's not really an option you have to remember unless your character has really shitty reversals. The newest version also added something called Cross Cast Veil Off, which uses Vorpal and all of your available meter (must be 100%+) and essentially just allows your character to extend a combo into a lot of extra damage.

Injustice 2 updates to Legendary Edition this thursday. It adds new epic gear sets (which are kinda cool), raises the character level cap to 30 (which is as retarded as having levels in the first place) and resets everyone's regen tokens. So it kinda looks like the people who didn't buy that edition are getting shafted by NRS, having their progress lose meaning and are forced to grind some more for certain events.
It kinda seems like shooting yourself in the foot.

Broly and Bardock confirmed March 28th alongside the Z-union system which at this time doesn't have a point to it aside from you saying you really really like a certain character, and a point score or something.

Just letting everyone know here in case they're like me and can't stop being asked by their casual friends. I feel like I've been monkey paw'd ever since dbfz came out because I once wished for a fightan game that my casual friends would want to get into, and now it's all I basically play. I still haven't sunk my teeth into Rev 2.1.

SFV development in a nutshell.

Because NetherRealm is now under (((Warner Bros))) and Boon is a yes-man corporate cocksucker.

You know, I completely forgot about Chain Shift since I rarely get to use it. Thank you for correcting me.

There have been emulation speed issues, and the Alpha games are hard locked to the American arcade cabinet version, which means the Japanese player who enjoy Street Fighter Zero are very unhappy.

I saw someone describe DBFZ as "09 for anime games," which I think is accurate both in good ways and bad. Be patient and encourage them to play poverty with you at least once every session.

I've played the first street fighter on an emulator when I was a kiddie, doesn't count I guess. I've also played a bit of smash with friends, and I've played some netherealm games, MK9 MKX and injustice 1. I've also played a bit of one of these naruto fighting games, storm I think. Also now that I really think about it I played this one soul caliber game on an arcade cabinet at a camp I went to, it had this factions conquest mode that had users that you could fight against their AI, which developed to try and emulate their playstyle, I thought that was really cool. I played as the joker guy.

I've heard that the blaz blue games are mechanically harder to get into.

I'm pretty sure I picked up MKX for peanuts and I don't mind it, but I find it a bit difficult to play on keyboard and I seem to not be able to do specials while facing the left half of the screen 90% of the time.

Are Soul Calibur 4 and 5 any good?

I did a bit of searching to see if I could find the source describing the emulation speed issues in the upcoming Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, and apparently even Max is leery. Potential issues include:

I think SFII is running too quickly at 4:38, but I'm not too familiar with the game so I can't say for sure. Any SF players tell me if the emulation is indeed too fast or am I just going blind? You'll have to look at the regular YouTube instead of HookTube's webm or mp4 display.

If you liked movement, try Melty Blood via CCCaster. It's free and runs on anything.

Okay I know one of you faggots has it so I'm just going to ask: how is it?

I was looking for fgs to teach my friend and he seems to like BB. I don't really know that much about the series, could you explain this point more?

Friend gifted it to me so I could play with him. Tiny roster, had the SG type of juggle focused combo gameplay, visuals hurt my fucking eyes due to lots of clashing colors, and there's a deer or something swaying its ass at you during every loading screen. I wish I was kidding on that last one but this is genuinely a game made by ponyfags who wish to fuck cartoon animals.

Pass on it, even if somebody offers it for free.

They're unfucking movelists this time around, I can't see them dropping Yoshimitsu and Voldo right when things are getting more technical.

Looks like more needless mudshit representation for muh diversity.

She looks really cool. If she has high/low counters you can make a Najd/Rock/Geese PREDICTABO Team.

The last character in this pack is gonna be either Shingo or Blue Mary. The old ass data mine called Oswald and Heidern months ahead before the next DLC pack was even announced along with Shingo, Blue Mary, Hinako and Jubei Yamada.
So no, you won't be seeing Shermie until XV especially considering she and the rest of her gang didn't get resurrected until after XIV's story.

Putting my virulent racism aside, I don't think she looks bad. Just derivative. Seems like a mesh of Kukri and someone from Mukai's tribe. That said, still hate that godawful hair do and her Eddie looks a bit too cartoonish with those oversized chompers. If she's tolerable of loathsome will depend on her characterization; I don't mind Middle Eastern characters, I love Pullum, Hakan is one of my favorite SF characters and my SC main, Astaroth, is technically Persian. It's shit like Shaheen and Rashid that piss me off because they're not characters so much as they're the dev taking a virtue-signaling wank. And if that claim about the Saudi media company buying representation is true then those two and Najd than a furfag with too much money putting his shitty OC into some game.

I think so too.
Dunno if I'll buy any character in this pack though. If Heidern had the classic uniform I'd consider him at least.
I'll just ask for Hinako and Kasumi. I know Grant will never happen so no point getting my hopes up.
A balanced boss pack would be interesting - Rugal, Goenitz, Krizalid and Mukai. I'd totally get that.

Dishonest neutral refers to a character's ability to win neutral and have the opportunity to apply pressure without needing to work for it or acknowledge the other player. I'm not a BB expert, but a guy in my local scene plays Izayoi (the chick with the triangles), and once she powers up, she can throw fireballs and do a raw 50/50 left/right teleport while you're in blockstun, which is dishonest.

Naturally, she needs to work for it, but it's pretty easy for her to reach her powered-up state, at least from my experience, and at that point you need to do a lot of work to make the game 2-player instead of 1-player.

Of course, Xrd has its own problems with YRCs since they literally eat your opponents' inputs and many of the top tier characters (Ky, Raven, Chipp, Johnny) abuse the shit out of them both to win neutral with the push of a button and apply unseeable mixups. I've gotten used to them, but I wouldn't miss them in the next iteration of GG.

The reason stuff like that irks me in BB is the combos tend to be long, and the game is old enough everyone does the optimal combos, so you get hit by something you can't reasonably predict or react to, then sit in your chair for 10 seconds as the other player does the optimal combo. If the combos were shorter like Darkstalkers, then I wouldn't be bothered so much.

As I said before, however, you should play what you like, since a new player likely won't discover the busted shit and he won't be able to abuse it even if he does research it.

There was a thread or two for it at launch, and the general reception seemed to be positive from the people who were new to FGs and experienced. The roster is small, but each character has tonnes of special moves and the devs have at least one in the pipe due to a stretch goal, and I think story mode will remind people the game exists; if they're taking this long to make it, then I hope it will be good.

What are you confused about? You buy a pre-owned copy and get the DLC later if you want. How does this need explaining to you?

I know his 3 weak points so far
Linear most of the time, but you have to watch out for f,f+2 and 1+2. You can just sidestep f+2 spamming retards and launch them tho
Very unsafe, just learn how to punish
Very weak at close range, only panic button he has is that parry and it can't parry shit like knees and I'm not sure but you should be able to bait it and punish it
Also never ever whiff against this character at any point of the stage

Fuck Prompto so he kills himself

Character itself looks like it plays cool, but the model doesn't do the concept art justice. SNK really needs to get better character models.

Is there a good video or something where I can learn the basics and terminology? I've played a few but frankly I'm absolute shit at them. Like what is a "wake up" and or what is meant when a command is ←-(hold) -> (P) or something like that? These feel like basic things everyone should know but I know jack shit, basically.

If it were Capcom, everyone would be foaming. I don't think execution should be a barrier but I'm against simple commands. Basically, try to keep it within the realm of QCF/QCB/DP/HCF/HCB/360º etc and avoid Raging Storms and Summon Sufferings.
Also getting the feeling that Leona without charges will be OP as fuck.

They're gonna reveal the next character at PAX, April 6 IIRC.

Not in video format but just looking up "fighting game lingo" nets you a lot of results.

There's not really a consensus on every terminology. Specially between communities with KOF and Street Fighter using "qcf" and others for movement, anime with numerical notations but NRS games and Tekken uses numbers for its button inputs like punches and kicks. But for most of it you can use or just ask here.

But for what you asked, "wake up" means and action you do as you rise from a knockdown state be it a normal or a hard knockdown. You can buffer an action while in that state so you do said action as soon as your character can do. "(hold)" that you'll usually see around as [b] or [4] means you have to hold that direction for a certain amount of frames. In Street Fighter is usually 60 frames(1 second) and in KOF or anime games is usually 30 frames but in oldschool games it can vary a lot in some cases even for like 4 seconds. In case of buttons like Balrog from Street Fighter and Raiden from KOF/Fatal Fury it means you hold said button to delay your move and maybe even get bigger damage output

I think i have read that the SoulCalibur director wanted to do a full blown crossover with Samurai Showdown, that would be way better than having just one or two characters from it.

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed this, and I'm not the type to usually care about this stuff. But everything about him looks awkward, like a fan mod.

There's a Tekken tournament featuring eight of Japan's top pro players tonight at 1:45 a.m. PST. Embed related is the Twitch channel in case anyone wants to watch it.

Notably, this is the first tournament to use Japan's esports licence system, which is apparently Just Fucking Happening. First place is about $5,700 USD.

The KOFXIV Burn2Fight series finals will happen in a few hours. 14:00~20:00(JST) on March 24th.

These are 2 x 2 Teams. And in the finals there are 26 Teams. The rule is that you can't repeat characters in your team. The teams and info about their characters can be found in the website: taito.co.jp/arc/KOF_B2F

Do you guys have any video for it?

Not really. They had a "Up to 2017 accounts" limit but I thought they opened to everybody a few weeks ago no?

You got it. ID 9c5667 still assumes used switch games will have lower prices than new for a game coming this very Summer for a recent generation console more popular than the competition, in time to play with his friends. It's like the PC or PS4 hacked version won't release sooner, nvm DLC, because his theoretical extended edition needs at the least a full year of depreciation to even be considered. So at the least, he's asking 5ecdb0 to wait until 2019-06 to find worth it playing with his friends post a year of hype.
Considerate indeed!

It's against my better judgment but I feel a bit sorry for the nip side of Capcom. Imagine what it must be dealing with these turbo faggots on a daily basis for a bunch of months. It's probably like those interviews with nip developers putting up with [CURRENT YEAR] oy veys turned up to eleven.

Frankly, Crapcom COULD have done an CvsS3, people would probably receive it much better in general. The moment Disney said no X-Men allowed, they should have jumped the ship on the spot, but, nope, they went alone.

If I recall correctly that's because those brands have different niches with Sanwa specializing in fighting games and Seimitsu in shmups. If you look at the specs of the sticks it makes sense with the sanwa JLF having much larger dead-zone to add leniency when you try to execute complex fighting game commands while the Seimitsu flag-ship (which I believe is the LS-32) tries to accomodate for the twitch-movement that's demanded by shmups for example.
