SmashU still has rage right?

who are you quoting?

IIRC, 2011 was the year EVO finally started to focus on "current" games, so they dropped some of the legacy Capcom titles that had been there for a long time. They also dropped TvC after its one year.

I like KOFXIV a lot but it's not a particularly pretty game, which stands out a lot more given that it's SNK. SamSho 7 despite being a similar level of 3D at least has an aesthetic that it's pulling off.

Unist has no comeback mechanic.

Street Fighter x Tekken and greed. SFIV was one of the first fighters to feature costumes as DLC. So they kept pushing and pushing to see what they could get away with, while spending less and less on dev time.

When MK9 launched to tremendous sales. And MKX after that (along with Kombat packs). Capcom wanted that casual audience, too. So they dumbed down SFV, added story mode, and created their own kombat packs.

They failed. They failed to realize Mortal Kombat's selling point isn't the gameplay.

Arrogant Capcom and SF x T

Rage was nerfed between 4 and Ultimate. It's not as big of a deal. It really only matters if you let your opponent live when they're at a staggeringly high % or if somebody's playing Lucario. Also being launched hard enough in Ultimate prevents you from teching surfaces which allows a good read on a character in Rage offstage to guarantee a kill even if it was a stage spike.

Why crabs tho

How does it feel that Evo is primarily a Smash tournament now?

Whatever Capcom is paying + one McRib.

The patches have only improved the game with the exception of a couple mid-tiers getting nerfed for no reason and ArcSys seemingly unable to find a way to nerf Bardock that sticks.

Not melee so I'm cool with it, the new one deserves a shot. Lot of games I wanted got in.

Just watch a tournament, and you'll understand

Nothing, they just stopped having old capcom titles as main games. There are still ST and 3s tournaments at EVO, they're just side tournies. Also around that time they started putting big money into new games in these tournaments, and nobody played old games for money.

There was a scare that tournaments wouldn't be carrying it because somebody who had their hands in the Dragonball rights pot wanted royalties or something from every tournament. There's also the game being extremely pressure-heavy which may have turned off people who weren't that serious about it since it could get kinda tiresome.

Devs consistently nerfing all the fun stuff out instead of just buffing all the bad characters.

From hype to dead. They've only themselves to blame.

It gets incredibly boring to watch to be honest. There is almost no variation between the characters; when someone gets clipped it is the same corner carry into 1 to 3 meters wasted to kill him. All the supers literally do the same amount of damage at the end of the combo so players know exactly how much meter they need to spend and when you are cornered on the defense there is almost nothing you can do to defend.
That is why UNIST is so much fun and growing. There are actual good options when defending

I'm happy that samurai shodown is doing well. I've been playing 2 and 5 special lately and it's a really nice change of pace. Hopefully 7 will be good.

Ultimate is going to do DBFZ 2018 Numbers. It's hot, everybody has it, some (not all) Melee players like it for once, etc. Tekken will pass 2k entrants but only hit 2100 at most. SFV will dip under 2k unless they pull a stunt.

DBFZ is going to have half its 2018 entrants, maybe less, but still around 1000 (I'd say 850 is worst-case scenario). UNIST & SamSho are going to do impressive numbers that they won't be able to sustain (SamSho will be replaced with KOFXV and at least a third of UNIST will be people who are hopping on the hot bandwagon and GG players who don't want to touch BBTag).

SCVI and BBTag aren't going to break records for being low but they're the only guaranteed sub-1000 entrant games. I'd say 600 and 450, respectively.

Good luck with that

Is there anything better than meleefags being blown the fuck out?

All of those games have like 50 players at most.

The FGC literally only cares if a game is new. It doesn't matter if it's the worst game or the best one.

Angry Kermit posts are always based without a single exception.

7 looks like a refined 2 with more thought put into the systems and that's just about the best-case scenario. Cannot wait to play my boy Haohmaru, my first main Galford, and the new hotness Darli.

You're only basing this off of what the official, sponsored games at tournaments are, because they're being pushed to get people into them and players enter because they subsequently have money in them, and feed into itself by having a lot of people to play which make them attractive to try.

There's still a ton of side tourneys for everything from ST to VSav to any KOF you'd want to Skullgirls to Virtua Fighter and so on at every major.

Correct! I don't think anyone cares that much, though, besides the SamSho diehards (of which there are few). Like you said, KoF XV comes out next year. And, iirc, there was some SNK conference where they said their aim is two major games per year from 2019 onwards. So, next year it's KoF and Metal Slug, ... or it's a new MS this year with Shodown, I can't remember.

Probably means a new Fatal Fury in 2021, just a year after KoF XV comes out. Crazy.

It's a good game though. Not perfect, but recent patches have turned the meta into a better direction while giving most Low-Mid characters better options. There's still a few problem areas in the balance, but Guard Cancel's changes alone are helpful.

The only hype that died in me was the one that said that DBFZ would replace UMvC3 in my heart. It didn't. Nothing could.

>Guess launch didn't bump up MK
MK 11's problem at the minute is that tournament variations suck shit and are causing massive balance issues (Erron Black is near S+ tier because he has an answer for everything and barely any "Regulation" variations have teleports. Ranked is just Erron, Sonya and Geras at the moment) and they need either variation move quick select or way more available variations. No one is sure what ruleset Evo will use. When it becomes clearer or NRS realise they fucked up and just let people pick a loadout on character select.

You must be new or blinded by new-game-hysteria. Nothing about Soul Calibur VI is exceptional. Nothing. Not the graphics, the gameplay, the soundtrack, the stages, the DLC.

I like SCVI gameplay. They handled the meter system a lot better than V. It's nothing exceptional but I definitely enjoyed running sets in it and that's the best thing somebody can say about a fighting game when it comes down to it.

Can't say the low turnout is surprising though.

That's all well and good. I'm glad you enjoy it and I'm happy SC6 exists. But:
>It's nothing exceptional
Is the problem. It USED to be exceptional. Now that it's merely okay, its popularity among serious fighters reflects that. Soul Calibur used to be one of the hypest games.

Doing it with my mom and yours right now. She got dick in her pussy and tiddies in her face, baby. We're gonna be brothers and uncles at the same time.

Seeing UNIB so high makes me happy, but seeing SC6 so low makes me sad. Also every single Gamecube and CRT display needs to be smashed with a fucking hammer, after that every Melee player will commit suicide and we want to deal with their horseshit anymore.

SFxT was 2012, 2011 is when they dropped legacy titles

Not really. SC has always bern second banana to Tekken in the competitive scene. There was little to no legacy support for the SC scene even way back 2002 when SCII was popular, atleast, not as strong as Tekken or Capcom games. France had it best though. There's a reason Tekken is still on top now and SC isnt, and its not just the obvious internal bias and politics in Bamco.

The gameplay is what I was talking about and is why it's the best in the series. Best balance, best character variety, most characters are more fun to play than in any other iteration, and lethal hits are one of the best new mechanics in a fighter this gen. Only real criticism is the animations for RE and supers taking too long. Legitimately quite a good game.

They dropped it, because of SF x T, it was supposed to continue SF legacy, and drop support of SF IV, but it went to shit, for obvious reasons, so they pulled Ultra SF IV at the last minute

RE should cost meter, and throws should at least beat it. Im ok with the clash, but I get it breaks the flow of combat and that's understandable. Other than that, its an alright game.

It's our time now

I guess that's what it'll have to be. I can't say it doesn't have its issues but I enjoy playing, labbing, and watching it a lot. I also just really like tag fighters for team-building aspects.

I really can't argue against you there besides a few moments where Vegeta and Yamcha play neutral. Maybe I see more neutral than most because I play Broly & Jiren and sometimes use Cooler.

RE already costs a shitton of guard stamina that doesn't even get refunded if you hit it. Anyone who is spamming RE will get themselves killed solely via guard stamina, let alone an intelligent aware player just stepping that shit and punishing.

it is fun

Of course. Where else am I gonna see people get fucked by Seth and Yuzu

Original fags liked Tekken's 1-3 because they were actually revolutionary. The rest are just costing off Tekken III's legacy (mostly old fags) or zoombas' nostlagia for Tekken 5. Tekken 7 is a good game, but it's not the best Tekken.

I enjoy Crosstag for some occasional dumb fun but Team Blue better be working on P5A right now.

Spacing and punish game feel distinct from most of the genre, wakeup game has its own meta, massive movelists give you a lot of "ace in the hole" once-per-set kinds of mixups, juggle combos with wallsplats and jumping down cliffs are fun. I'm not the biggest T7 player but that's what I get from it.

I'll admit I have a lot of nostalgia for T3 and Tag 1, especially Tag.

We're not talking about Tekken. This might surprise you, but two separate games from the same company can BOTH be hype at the same time, as they were. But cool, be happy with low tier-Soul Calibur if you want. Things won't get better like that. Just telling you.

I don't know why you expect USFIV to be an official game when SFV is being pushed. GG hasn't had updates since Rev2 dropped, BBTag is technically BlazBlue, and Melee was probably too much trouble for the organizers.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Once you hit the 100 hour mark of the EWGF vortex your neurons have subtly begun to change. By hour 200 you know nothing but EWGF. Other players simply cannot comprehend the enlightenment that comes with mastering a Mishima. It is a state of pure zen that is akin to speaking with God. Playing another character is dirtying yourself and must be cleansed by performing a ritual in involving hundreds of CH DF2 PEWGF loops.

Those are worse choices than every other game on the current lineup.

I think SFV is literally the same as Overwatch. A game that you jump on queue, beat up a couple of people and/or have fun playing with your friends. It's not a serious, competitive tourney game, but it's a fun casual game.
The only reason there was so much rage about its gameplay mechanics is because the most outspoken and visible members of the FGC and Street Fighter community are tourneyfags.
SFIV ruined the series in that regard, everything has to be a tourneyshit. Whatever happened to just having fun in casual matches?
Anyway, if you are enjoying SFV, then keep playing. There's no shame in the core game, and getting all the season 1 and 2 dlc for free with the Arcade Edition makes the game worth the cost now.

Capcom fanboys. The series is just bigger than everyone else so there are more with "it is shit but it is SF so I guess that will do mentality." They are fans of a brand above all else. It gets called Duty Fighter for a reason, some of the aspects have met a more tolerable level and they can keep telling themselves well a new Capcom fighter is probably on the way. There is also a social aspect to it, they turn it to see people they know/big names. Something Leffen pointed out that is similar with SFV and Smash U. Players turn up, play their pool and then go do other stuff. No one is desperate to run sets.

LMAO how the mighty have fallen, shows you how bad SFV really is.

Should I pick up the cheapest one one on Steam just for the single player shit? Seems like fun desu

EVO 2020 is going to be the same as this year but with SamSho and BBTag being replaced by KOFXV and Granblue, plus SCVI being replaced by pretty much any other remotely popular fighter that comes out between now and June 2020.

EVO 2021 is going to be the big shift since SFVI will likely drop late 2020/early 2021.

>SamSho will be replaced with KOFXV
While it likely won't maintain numbers, both games exist in a pretty different space. It is like dropping SF for Marvel. SamSho stands a good chance of placing itself as everyone's side game, not like you constantly need to lab stuff to stay on top.

Whens new Tekken?

Or maybe he had other plans for those dates and rejected it like a normal human being?

I've never played or now nothing about Granblue Fantasy but this game looks cool. I wish there was more fighting games with a fun, classic fantasy aesthetic. I hope this game is fun.

Kustoms will be a nightmare to balance and need all new UI implemented. Plus a different selection of moves won't stop the neutral being ass. Every character is way to dependent on a couple of safe strings that move then in and everything else being dogshit. It is still same old MK but with less mixups. Everyone getting teleports won't solve that.

I think T7 has a couple years left in it, the question is if the next Tekken will try to be out before EVO'21 to match SF6 or not.

We'll probably get Guilty Gear Xth, a new Team Blue anime game, and a couple different SNK games releasing between now and then as well.

KoF XV is confirmed 2020 title

Yeah, that and maybe another game. Garou 2 rumors exist.

>EVO 2021 is going to be the big shift since SFVI will likely drop late 2020/early 2021.

Cygames is also more likely to cause a large shift with the money they can bring to the table.

you still need maximum meter to use it and even then it only does about a fourth health at most

There doesn't really need to be a new Tekken. The scene is growing and tournaments have been consistently exciting.
Plus Tekken games tend to alternate between being good and being bad. A new Tekken game being released could really harm the scene if it ends up not being good.
I wouldn't mind TxSF though. I want to see how they'd implement Makoto or Dudley into the Tekken framework. Or any non-fireball character for that matter.

It's like $6 or something right now, right? There really isn't a lot of single player content in UNIEL, just the arcade modes for characters, training, vs CPU and survivial I think. I wouldn't pay for it, if you're going to try it out I would suggest pirating and then if you like it just getting the newer version. It has all that stuff and mission mode, a tutorial plus the story. And new characters of course.

It's not a good casual game, it's a good game to play casually. As in, it's not the kind of game you spend hundreds of hours in the lab and practicing techs and shit on.
Casuals don't like traditional fighting games period, that's why they are mostly drawn to MK and Smash.

BBTAG is not built for long time sustainability. The character roster is too dumbed down.

melee didn't even have the most views. it got cucked by Dragon Ball and Street fighter 5

I get that they're both boxers but they don't really play the same at all. Steve focuses on counter hits and Dudley focuses on whiff punishment (his roundhouse comes out in 5 frames and goes nowhere for a reason). The two concepts interact, but play out very differently.
Juicebox's video on footsies is really good at articulating this. Better than I ever could at least.

Why is there no GG?

Cause the design isn't that appealing to casuals. It is just right for people who want to feel like they are good without putting much effort in. Scrubs basically.

Yeah it's a shame. Sc6 is great and the only complaints are from babies who couldn't sidestep RE when it first came out. Tag is a simply fun, but they barely communicate with the fans so I can install lot of people dropping it.

>It's not a good casual game, it's a good game to play casually.
Correct.

>Casuals don't like traditional fighting games period, that's why they are mostly drawn to MK and Smash
Wrong. They like fighters. But the FGC are such dickriders they can't bear bring themselves to criticize flaws the games. So they make up all these wack excuses to make themselves feel better.
>fighters were always niche!
>fighters never had good graphics!
>most people aren't as intelligent and deep as us, that's why they can't take fighting games *cums all over himself*
All so they don't have to face the obvious: Namco, Capcom, SNK aren't as good as they used to be as far as what matters to casuals: GRAPHICS and CONTENT.

After the golden era, used to be the fgc said "it's not about the graphics, guys. it's the gameplay". But now each community shits on the other over graphics, they can't use that excuse anymore, so they just cop out and say casuals don't like fighters. Always an excuse.

That image is bullshit, stop spamming it you retarded smashbaby

4 years of virtually the same tittle, give it a rest and wait for the next GG. It's probably gonna be announced this year anyway

There is so much shit flinging on which fighting games classify as reddit that shit like this is a waste of a post.

>being this delusional
You know why Melee is out? Because Nintendo doesn't want it there. From the begining it was clear Nintendo wanted to kill Melee, putting a bunch of things in Ultimate that would appeal to Meleefags. Nintendo wants some of that e-sports pie and Melee was on the way, having a divided community is no good for the e-sports part. Melee fags that weren't brought in to Ultimate are going to be squashed now, Nintendo made it pretty clear, it's either Ultimate or nothing

support ur local games

Game hasn’t really gotten much support since Rev2. A lot of people are just waiting for the next game to come out since it’s confirmed to be in development.

Damn

Yeah, Melee is out because Nintendo sponsors Ultimate but not Melee.
But at the end of the day, if Ultimate competitive scene dies down, they're gonna take Melee over nothing.

I'm not trying to sound spiteful, but it's hard not to be when Melee was kicked for virtually no reason.

If nintindo had really squashed it melee majors would no longer exist as they would just revoke streaming rights and twitch would comply

Give up the victim complex and just realize everyone who is not a smelee fags hates smelee

that's what he's thinking

>nintindo sponsors ultimate

Wrong, unless you count the items on invitational they had this past year.

Go away smelee with your victim complex

>GG dead
>>dbfz dying

What happened?

No, it's not wrong. Nintendo obviously wants to advertise the game it still actually sells and they are an official EVO sponsor, it's only natural than given the choice, you'd pick Ultimate over Melee to not risk losing a high profile sponsor.

holy fuck

>Melee was kicked for virtually no reason
I can think of three justifiable reasons
1) Physically requires more space because the players demand CRTs.
2) CRTs lower the video quality of the stream forcing EVO to have to invest in equipment that can capture both analog signals at the highest quality
3) Ultimate made enough of a splash upon release that it gave EVO a good enough opportunity to cut Melee with the smallest backlash. the fact that is has the highest number of entrants out of all tourneys supports this

But Nintendo DOES sponsor Ultimate at EVO.

All of these reason also applied to previous EVOs where they weren't a problem. That's why I said "no reason", things that didn't use to be a barrier to entry suddenly are.

Arcsys and Bamco support, they wouldn't support Tekken 7 too by the way, they only did so, because DLC sold tons

No, they don't sponsor evo.

Smeleefags btfo once again, take your paranoia elsewhere

God I hope it does. I know the datamine and all that, but I really do hope they go through with s2 and not change their minds because it’s not doing tekken numbers. Cause the characters that should be added is really all we need left. Mainly Setsuka, Lizardman and Hwang. Rock and Hilde will be good bonuses too.

The best case scenario is that they can make an sc7 and it gets a proper t7 treatment. Refine the shit out of everything, polish it to a 9th degree and actually give it the time and resources it needs cause the team does seem passionate about the series I just wish bamco themselves were. It’s clear rush of time and lack of budget makes me easier on the game’s faults that would be fixed by that. It’s impressive that sc6 cape put as good as it even did cause considering this situation I couldn’t see the game being able to come out better, I expected worse. People tend to be a lot harder on sc6 for whatever reason that I can’t figure out which most of them is petty shit. Like there’s definite shit to complain about, but these people treat it like it’s a fucking nrs game abomination sometimes. I just want sc to be able to flourish somewhat doesn’t need tekken numbers or anything, but hopefully sc7 if we do get it will be able to focus on keeping and growing the longevity of its community through solidifying the gameplay and online experience without sacrificing the casual audience completely.

If Nintendo truly wanted to kill Melee they would have revoked streaming rights for the game you retarded faggot. They don't give a shit about Melee or the competitive scene in general.

fox is top tier in ultimate too

Julia is top tier, it just takes time to build up all that matchup knowledge. She’s better than Alisa. Chanel just has more experience with Alisa in T7

unironically me

erron is an even worse problem because geras is fucking trash against him and is the only charcaters anywhere to him on the tie rlist

nintendo doesn’t want backlash but they also dont want to promote a game they arent making money off of, its that simple. Every other game at EVO has active developer support.

>that didn't also apply to the previous years
So youre saying it should have been kicked out a long time ago?

GG isn't that popular and FighterZ is shit to play and none of the DLC picks are worth picking the game back up

Dragonball Fighterz shouldn't be below MK11 and SamSho.

Soul Calibur 6 should be higher.

DBFZ sucks ass in that there’s barely any variation in how characters work and half the cast is never ever seem

>Dragonball Fighterz shouldn't be below MK11 and SamSho.
Yes it should, for gameplay, netcode and support reasons. You just don't release a game with shitty singleplayer content, shitty netcode, shitty balance, and basically no different playstyle and call it a day, just because it sold well.

I am saying what used to be fine in the past is suddenly warranting a kick - a change for no reason.

He's an engineer making 6 figures annually. Melee is a hobby for him.

lmao they didn't try shit. if they actually had tried, melee would have never made it into any of the last 6 evos you retarded faggot.

he was
he quitted all his job to be a melee pro

Still a better fighting game than MK11 and SamSho is just a meme title the people will have fun with but will soon grow tired of a month after Evo.

He's washed up bro.

I've never understood the "everybody is the same" complaint. The major overlap is a general magic series that a good 20% of the cast can't even do. Half the cast has something unique about them and a good chunk of that amount is viable/used by top players, barring cases like Base Goku being fucking unplayable and the weird Fat Buu changes in the last patch.

I get the distaste for the pressure-heavy meta and the mediocre netcode and the boring story mode. It's just that one complaint that never made sense to me. I still like the game but it's fallen off some for me even though I like S2.

I'll just wait until Evo when MK11 will be a shitshow with its terrible balance and tournament legal movesets and SamShow, while more entertaining, will be just a gimmick on the roster.

DBFZ isn't perfect by any stretch and games like UNist are way better, but it's better than garbage.

>Why even try to convince retards on Yea Forums?
Why is someone from Reddit here? Legit question

Fighting game tournaments are open to literally anybody willing to pay the entrance fee and always have been outside of explicit invitationals. That aspect is at its core and a huge reason why FGC will never go full e-Sports. There's been criticism of it from people into full-blown e-Sports for allowing "flukes" when upsets and rising stars from nowhere are the backbone of evolving metas.

starvingsquare

If they truly wanted to kill Melee they would have done so years ago. Melee not being this year at EVO has nothing to do with Nintendo. Mr Wizard simply hates you meleegroes and your retarded victim complex.

Both are Unga Bunga tier games. Blazblue and Guilty Gear died for this.

It's overblown because there are no broken custom-only combos that anyone knows about, and the existing cast already has different hitbox sizes. Like, are we also supposed to ban talim and astaroth because some combos don't work on them? And once you get out of babby ranks almost nobody is using custom-sized characters anyway.

And we're talking about online play here, it wouldn't be seriously competitive even if customs were completely removed because lag is a bigger issue than customs could ever be.

>Insulting Yea Forums means you aren't from here

No, I've been here too long to not know how terrible the opinions here are. Especially about fighting games. ESPECIALLY fighting games. Holy shit, this is probably the one genre that is just lost on this board for some reason.

Nintendo didnt “shut it down” this year, they just cared about ultimate and don’t care abour Melee, that’s what I’m saying. Mr. Wizard only wanted to put in games with active support, which is also why there was no bonus voted game

Blazblue died for BBTAG. It wouldn't have been there anyway.

Capcom vs SNK 2 and Marvel vs Capcom 2 are both sprite dumps and are great games.

What is happening in this webm?

They announced an Asia pro tour so that's good at least. It sounds like a world tour is coming which would be amazing, SC is one of the precious few series where NA, EU, and Japan are roughly equal. International tournaments are so hype but we get to see them so rarely...

Unga Night wishes it was half as deep as Blazblue and Guilty Gear. Fuck off, subhuman.

a setup that punished phoenix's automatic 5 bar transformation that fchamp used as a crutch for a long time.

What's your argument? Why shouldn't you get a solid degree even if you want to play video games all day?

Except it had 30+ characters on launch

Ironically it's too late for this drop to kill melee since it already gained so much validation from coming back in 2013 onward that it can live without it with just the Smash.gg scene alone.

Fchimp got btfo with his crutch character.

UMvC3 is my favorite fighting game but I've watched, played, and labbed out enough DBFZ to know the differences, although at that point I can see what's different that most people just watching tournament footage don't pick up on because they aren't as in there.

I don't even know what my opinion is on DBFZ anymore. I like the game a lot, the cast is almost entirely fun to play as, I think it's a triumph of aesthetics in fighting games and I think S2 is a great step forward, but every time I think about the broad meta, the restrictive teambuilding, and especially when I compare it to UMvC3 outside of certain things like Sparking being much better than X-Factor, I feel like it falls shorter than I've cared to admit. I don't think it deserves to flop, but I don't think it deserves to take UNIST or SamSho's spotlight this year.

I guess at this point I'll just say I want DBFZ to have more entrants than MK11.

only an idiot would put all their eggs in one basket

>I've never understood the "everybody is the same" complaint.
Literally every match is the exact same thing regardless of team. Get someone into the corner, long as fuck blockstring, open them up, launched into air, air cancels, hard knockdown, meter burn.

Both games could've had 16 characters and would still be remembered today for their top tier gameplay. Muh Roster is just a reason to complain when the game is so goddamn bland you can't find anything to talk about.

Why the pausing though?

I want unist to pass sfv

mashed too hard

FChimp

Toei, or someone entangled with the right of DBZ, was shutting down tournaments for unspecified reasons nobody is allowed to talk about. Things are cool now but it caused a lot of tournament people to start working on other games.

The game is still pretty popular though. Gets regular play at WNF, AnimeIlluminati and presumably a bunch of lesser streaming events.

It will, you have my word

That wasn't my point, my point is that a game with less than 30 characters, that is basically a sprite dump, and had no money invested, has a better and well thought gameplay, than a """triple A""""" game from the same company, with the help of Bamco
