How are you feeling about you living in the age where Japanese developers can't compete with Western ones in the field of fighting games, huh?

>japanese devs do everything better than western devs in fighting games

what the fuck?
Isaiah Cox
unironically its a good thing

wasn't street fighter made by the japanese though?
Camden Sanders
That's just a myth. It was really the French.
Brandon Gonzalez
SF5 miserably failed.
Adam Miller
This is unironic though. SFV, GG, Tekken and every other Japanese fighter paled in comparison to MK and Injustice when it came to sales.
Carter Green
Tekken only just sells a bit less, DBFZ also did incredibly well. And if we go by longevity, even poorly selling Japanese fighters last way longer.
MK has corned the casual market perfectly, but outside that they really don't have much pull.

How about before SF4 appeared and saved fgc from slowly dying of it? I think Tekken 3 sold 7 million in the world, and MK at the time couldn't be even compared with it in terms of sales.
Logan Thomas
For me It's Asuka.

Here's the secret as to why MK is more successful than jap fighting games:
>edgy 12 year olds love gore
>everyone secretly hates weebs
Tyler Campbell
>FIGHTING GAMES WERE DYING BEFORE SF4
Only for capcom players. Everyone else was thriving. Tekken, Soul Calibur, Guilty Gear, MK though technically everyone hated the 3D era but it was still popular saleswise
Leo Hughes
There's only one or 2 notable western fighting games compared to the dozens of Japanese fighting games. Don't get me wrong I'd love if there was a Western developer that could make something cool like a Western style 2D fighting game using midieval weapons like a Western style Samurai Shodown.
Jose Long
>dude fighting games are about FUN!! not about being good or allowing players to make their own fun
Jeremiah Williams
Well, maybe I should have said "in the competitive scenes and 2D fighting games". I am not saying the genre itself was dead but it would be obvious SF4 revitalized the scene when you google and compare the numbers of attendance before and after SF4 appeared. And these 3D games were also declining in terms of sales since early 2000s.
Leo Rogers
the only good western fighting games are stuff like Chivalry and For Honour
Joseph Green
Does she want to fuck jin?
Blake Gomez
Tekken sells just over half, the real kind is Smash which Smash Ultimate so far has outsold the latest Street Fighter, the latest Tekken and the latest Mortal Kombat.
Parker Brown
>chivalry and for honor
>fighting games
I can maybe see Smash but aren't you pushing it a bit
Adrian Hughes
Want is a strong word, but she wouldn't say no if asked, that much is sure.
Brody Price
As/u/ka is for Lillie only.
Jack Hernandez
these are what I think of when I imagine a fighting game done in a purely western style of design.
if there was a game that allowed you to run around a map and have fistfights with a dozen others that would be a perfect western styled fighting game (and also probably be shit)
Levi Allen
What a coincidence, that's the name of my cock

And Mount&Blade is a brawler?
