Fighting games

Samurai shodown

>>guard ledge to force fall

okay

Third Strike feels incredible to pull off parries and combos but that's it.

Anything that ruins Akumas shit is good in my book.

When's the last time you made someone ragequit irl Yea Forums?

SamSho. You literally don't have to learn a combo or blockstring to win. Learn ranges and on-block frame data for all your moves (note: almost everything is negative enough to be punished by something) and you're golden for the most part.

I've made two of my friends ragequit in Skullgirls. They won't play it with me anymore.

sorry sweatie.

"honest" is basically a meme at this point so you'll have to explain what you mean by that, but I'm pretty sure you'll like SamSho since it's just spacing and footsies with a bit of zoning and punishing.

lol these niggas adderalled OUT

Anyone got some fun team set-ups for FighterZ? I'm feeling like trying out a new team.

SamSho is hitting PC & Switch this year so you will be able to play it. Tekken takes an entirely different mindset but once you find "your" character and really dive into how neutral, punishes, and combos work it starts to fall into place. I spent a weekend in Training with Marduk and it all clicked. I'm still bad on defense but I understand my combo routes, some frametraps, some oki, wall combos, etc.

If that fails, then that's what Akuma, Eliza, & Geese are for.

On that note I really want another Itsuno-directed fighting game before he retires. I'm excited that he's probably working on Dragon's Dogma 2 but man could I go for Rival Schools 3/Project Justice 2 or Power Stone 3, or another Vs game under him.

mario party if you only play specific minigames

Well thats not so difficult
3rd strike still looks the fucking best in 2019

Probably things won't change in a few decades

Akuma & Eliza were already bad, it's just so 2D players can feel familiar. Besides, playing a character that got the nerfhammer bad even after the nerfhammer hits gives you street cred.

I kind of hate anime fighting games. Guilty Gear was alright but I didn’t really like the combos in it. BlazBlue fucking blows with all the retarded characters and overinflated sub-systems, but for some reason I love Undernight In-Birth to death. I can’t put my finger on it, but something about it separates it from other anime games. It feels... different

French bread are based that's why

i thought doping was disallowed in competitions

Incredibly cautious. The whole rethinking from the ground up post doesn't encourage me after I just didn't enjoy their latest games that much. I don't like how ArcSys simplify by removing and making stuff less unique. How ever it goes it will cause GG oldfags to get mad, and others to defend it come what may cause pretty graphics.

If nothing else I want to see if ArcSys has built enough of a reputation to get GG a sizeable audience, or if people who like to post song lyrics won't stick around.

sane, kakyoin's animations are smooth as fuck

Anyone wanna try some KoFXIV?
I'm on ps4

mashing is not fun. if you wanna turn your brain off go play singleplayer games or arcade mode

People describe UNI as being a bit more "grounded" compared to the other anime fighters.

it's easier

Does SamSho support cross-play? I will likely get it on the Switch if it does.

It's anime, but it's very grounded. Characters have gross shit, but they don't get it for free. Air movement isn't free. Aggression/pressure isn't as strong as other anime games but the systems encourage it heavily over defensive play.

You'd probably enjoy Melty Blood (by the same dev team as Under Night) and Akatsuki Blitzkampf (Akatsuki's home game; feels like a midpoint between 00s anime fighters, SNK games, and Third Strike).

Dragon ball fighterz exists though

3rd strike Makoto is bad design and anyone who argues against that is a piece of shit.

no double jumps and simpler air combos

The animation and stand system sold me on the game, it being easily available for free helped too

Damn, that's a good Makoto. One parry into 60% damage.

How so? I don’t play too many fytans but I have a fairly firm grasp on the ones I do play

Right. Okay. You want me to elaborate on why the FGC **hates** the smash community? Because they don’t care about tradition, they don’t care about respect, they don’t care about proper decorum at a tournament, they don’t understand the history of the games, tournaments, brotherhood, and rivalries the FGC has had over the years. and they don’t care about any of it.

It isn’t about gate keeping. It’s about people not understanding how shit works. It’s about your community being openly and proudly ignorant about things. It’s about the community demanding something from a community they have no fucking clue about.

The smash community demanded they be apart of something that they had no right to be part of. When EVO and other tournaments started letting smash slide in the smash community immediately bitched and moaned about things not being done “their way”. And they continue to bitch and moan and complain. They want to be off in their own little world but still have the fucking audacity to demand to be part of ours.

You want your series of games that is just a glorified MUGEN (though I doubt you know what that is since you didn’t know who Terry Bogard was) at this point to be on equal footing with ours? Than fucking act like you belong. Quit being the angsty teenager who thinks they deserve to get their way because they’re “special”

Best fighting game for a complete begginer?

There’s a lot of people in the FGC that actually really like the smash games. We don’t see them on equal footing for a myriad of reasons. Mostly technical and it doesn’t fit the actual definition of a fighting game. One of the major reasons though is how openly and arrogantly ignorant they are to the scene they’re desperately trying to be apart of.

The smash community isn’t at EVO or CEO or any other major because those TO’s want the community to be there. They’re there to make the TO’s the most money possible. Whether it be through entrees, sponsorships, stream revenue..etc.

MrWizard who runs evo even said after brawl that dealing with smash TO’s was one of the worst experiences he’s ever had but he was going to keep hosting Smash due to how much revenue it brought it.

Maybe if Smash community actually gave a shit about the people’s and players that gave their blood sweat and tears to build the thing they’re so desperately wanting to be apart of maybe the FGC wouldn’t think the smash community was a bunch of whiny brats.

How likely is this leak to be real?

SFIV, Smash Ultimate, or MK9 depends on which series you want to get into.

Depends. Where would you say your preferred play style leans towards, defensive or offensive?

I'd recommend Soul Calibur VI because there aren't any crazy inputs and all the characters and moves are cool. People might say the new Samurai Showdown but the game is hard to find fun for a person new to fighting games. Way too slow.

Sam Sho. It's do 70% damage on counter hit: the game

Literal mashing won't win FighterZ for you, even if you're playing characters with the most busted Autocombo hitboxes like Bardock & Teen Gohan. DBFZ is currently in a spot where you need to tighten up your pressure and defense to near-perfection and be able to convert stray hits in the scramble into optimal combos (or at least knockdowns) consistently.

My hands are too weak to pull off Stand desync bullshit so I stick to the Josephs and Anubis Polnareff.

Street Fighter 2

It's harder than most fighting games out there but compared to guilty and blazblue it just has less options in general, gameplans are a bit more simple across the board, and most characters try to open you up with throw in a similar way.

couldn't really get into it but always wanted to. i dont think the combo system is very intuitive and it plays like some mortal kombat shit t b h. been playing mvc1

SFV was literally made for newbies. At the total beginner level it's pretty good. Only FGC pros seem to hate it due to lack of complexity.

Two days ago in Guilty Gear.

why am i so bad at inputs i cant even play smash properly

high level UMVC3 is harder than this

Im a Dio main myself, it takes a while but active stands are incredibly good.
The hits feel so much better than in Mortal Kombat. You could always try more poke focused characters like an entire horse.

I've been messing around in training in P4U recently, and I really wish I had gotten into the game when it was more active, I still don't know why I didn't considering I had already played P4 when it came out, but it's done now. I'm glad ArcSys are making GG right now because that's my favorite IP they have, but I hope P5U comes in the near future soon.

Whatever catches your fancy.

Fuck off.

Jojo HFTF is pretty good and i'm sad they'll never be another game quite like it.

>Soul Calibur VI
I don’t think that game is too beginner friendly. Sure if you put a couple of noobs they’ll be evenly matched, but trying to git gud at it is a nightmare. You got so much shit to deal with
>counter hit properties
>3D spacing
>3D movement
>wall splat combos
>hidden character specific mechanics
>soul charge properties
And so much more. It’s honestly overwhelming for most people and would certainly make a new player struggle

Get it down to muscle memory. Don't confuse that with autopilot.

Just gotta keep putting in the practice. It takes a while to get it down but it's incredibly satisfying when you can start reliably getting things down to a T.

Are you interested in boosting party VS trophies? I'm trying to help two friends of mine.

Waiting for Tekken 7 season 3, dunno what I'll be playing in the meantime

made a friend of mine ragequit atleast a dozen times over MKX, MK11 and Tekken 7

I'm skeptical there'll even be a trailer, but of course I look forward to seeing the game whenever they show it. I understadn why people are worried about the game, but at the very least, I don't think the game will be ruined by an attempt to casualize things. If it's ruined it'll be because of them trying to be too weird and creative instead of just focusing on the thigns people enjoy about the game, but I trust that they'll make it good in any case, I just really don't think they'll dumb it donw too much.

Clipping/10

It has insanely well neutral and most of the characters are so balanced the tier list is almost negligible. Only noticeable ones are Enkidu and Mika since they don't have moves that go across the entire screen.

>Guilty Gear was alright but I didn’t really like the combos in it.
I feel the exact inverse on that. I think Under Night's alright, but I absolutely abhor the combos in it, I couldn't stand to play it anymore because of that. Meanwhile, I adore GG, but I tend to like anime fighters in general, including UNI, but the combos in it are awful and are easily my least liked thing about the game aside from the lobby system.

What region? I own the game, but barely ever played it, but I wouldn't mind playing. I would ahve to re-download it though.

For some god forsaken reason Iv'e gotten into Touhou 12.3 lately. Its pretty fun for such an off the wall fighter.
Its still a weird feeling practicing such a dead and poverty fighter though.

You bet your crazy ass I am.

I think Skullgirls is too combo heavy for a beginner.

I quit playing on switch and moved to fightcade. So much better.

>I don't think the game will be ruined by an attempt to casualize things. If it's ruined it'll be because of them trying to be too weird
That can go hand in hand though. DBFZ serves as an example, super dash is an idea that can work while also making stuff easier for newer players. Instead it is annoying to deal with. Honestly the biggest thing I'd like to see is ArcSys to get their head out their arse when it comes to balancing. They get set on an idea when really sometimes the game being like that isn't for the best.

i dislike most anime games too, more specifically arcsys games. they are pretty as fuck but i absolutely fucking hate the mechanics they add to most of their games.

12.3 community is still alive. Kind of. It's at Evo Japan so that's good right?

I miss the Yea Forums threads

ITT: Posts that you can smell

They can go hand in hand, but I mean I think the game will have something like Danger Time, I don't really mind Danger Time for the record, it's just an example, which wasn't added in to make things easier, it was jsut added in because they thought it would be fun. I think stuff like that or the kind of mindset that brought about games like Isuka or GG2 are more likely to ruin the game than an attempt to make the game more accessible. I have never taken issue with GG's steps to make the game more accessible so I trust they know how far to push things without sacrificing the skill ceiling or what people like about the game.

I don't entirely trust that they will hold back from implementing something weird just for the sake of it or because it seems cool even if it's the kind of thing a lot of people will dislike, especially with the talk of "We're taking a big risk with this game."

just pick DIO and with stand off doing jumping light negative edged into standrush on landing and then crouch jab then repeat

What's wrong with combos? The tutorials gives you a few nice bread and butters you can lab with to learn extensions and mix up. Skullgirls is as beginner friendly as a complex fg's come imo.

its not about winning, its about having fun and exploring a game's physics engine and mastering it. i dont care for rep'ing a combo all day. i care about meta. there aren't enough agility options in jojoban for me.

I've been playing a lot of melty blood lately,also kof all this talk about Terry made me nostalgic,now I can't wait for xv

Is the character named "JoJo" supposed to be Jonathan or Joseph?

The combos in Skullgirls are quite long though, if I were new to fighting games and trying to do the combo trials in Skullgirls I feel like I would find it pretty intimidating. I think GG, and probably UNI too, are more beginner friendly, partially because I prefer their tutorials, but also because, in GG moreso than UNI, there are a lot of really short, but practical combos for you available in the trials, that anybody should be able to do with little trouble. Even then, I see a lot of people who are new to fighting games doing those combo trials and they regularly have trouble with the 5D6 combo everybody in the game has. If a beginner can't even handle that then I really don't think they can handle what Skullgirls throws at you in its combos.

I suppose its floating around, but I'm not nearly good enough or committed enough yet to really look into it.

SFV. Not because of anything to do with the game itself but because it has the most new players you can play to teach you to block and punish point blank sweeps and DPs and that's what is most important for a beginner.

Unironically don't start playing them. If you didn't play them as a kid when they still made good ones, now is not a good time to start. They are too zoomer repellent.

You'd be wasting money on a dead game.

SoulCalibur 6, doesn't have big combos, a more grounded fighter with a big focus on neutral

not at all hopefully, its just mvc without the m

>Akuma was already bad
For reference I don't play Tekken but I thought he was supposed to be balls to the wall strong with Geese just being even better. Did they just nerf the shit out of him?

Akuma used to be good at launch but he got nerfed. S3 patch nerfed his fireball damage but lets him combo into Raging Demon after a screw. Geese was Top 2 until the S3 patch though.

Now is the absolute best time to start, since the 09 Revival I spent years trying yo get good in several games to no avail but the second SFV came out people started making a bunch of vids actually explaining you how to play the fucking game (frame data, buffering, how to poke efficiently, etc.) Now I win locals in a couple games and actually have fun playing.

Mindgames

This. Only thing I can say is that the skill ceiling is slightly higher than most other fighting games. It’s on par with high lvl 3rd Strike or Mahvel 2. Makes sense, they were all released within like 3-4 years of eachother or less.

>Currently playing UNIST
>Enkidu main

Somedays I feel solid af win or lose. But some days I feel like I cannot get in and peoples buttons reach further and stuff my 2B/5B attempts. Its a living hell almost every MU feels like a new brand of obstacle course that I have to dash block into and most of the time has better close neutral buttons anyways.

I'm sure it is. But I'm also sure it's a thing that about 80% of players do. They just know how to keep it hush.

Melee & Marvel 2 are very similar games in terms of the meta that formed and the legacy they have; the one CRUCIAL difference is that the long-awaited sequel to them was taken very differently by their respective playerbases. Granted, that's mostly Brawl's fault for being designed to be anti-competitive. Still, even the Marvel 2 gods mostly transitioned to 3, even those that didn't like 3 as much as 2.

Then Infinite was to Marvel was Brawl was to Smash, and now Smash has their Ultimate game that's the peak of the series like UMvC3 was even if some of the Melee purists are still around.

This only looks fast to people that have never played a fighter in their life, its actually more or less what.you do in ultimate minus the advanced tech

Scared. I wanna see real matches and not a cinematic trailer the new trailer just like Xrds used a lot of camera pans and other shit. I wanna see mechanics and how the game is gonna flow. Rev1/2 might as well be my favorite fighting game at this point and I don't want GG to go back like other series.

Especially since im usually left 50/50 on getting my character in games and I use Faust Ky Potemkin in GG so this is the rare occurrence where im guaranteed my 3 boys regardless so I want it to be good.

Makoto is fucking Unga holy shit

>UN combos
>Better
Literally BB style combos but with easier windows. Just OTG limits and constant pick up tools. Also people like to call the game anime SF but you have Seth running around and Hyde the shoto of the game has baby move everything and 3.5K combos that carry from corner to corner off the most mundane shit in the world. Not to mention Phonon that lets retards feel like they can play footsies because almost the entire cast has to eat shit and deal with her pokes until they get in on a character with a godlike 2A and dp.

But its fine they made Akatsuki so any retard can get to mid level like Leo players in Xrd but atleast Leo requires more move knowledge then learning how to apply B tatsu with ex fireball and a few pokes.

All couldve been avoided if the Ryu wasnt so obnoxiously aggresive

I hope Cl-r gets some guests that aren't just waifu fuck bait. Id love Sai from Blitz to get in the game or one of the male MB characters. The first Cl-r reveal has to be the most homo looking shit in the world. I don't get why anime game characters that use Ice have to be extremely gay.

The dp was the only mistake honestly. But to be fair against characters that can kill you super fast I feel like its easier to make mistakes because you want them dead faster but in this case its probably just being too zealous.

>I don't get why anime game characters that use Ice have to be extremely gay.
Because ice is pretty and snow is the element of transience, which is interpreted as youth and beauty.

Is there an anime fighter where cool shit does more than the equivalent of chip damage in other fighters

how the fuck are you gonna avoid that? they both already basically had full meter, being constantly aggro is p much all he could've done against a makoto, he should've just been better about mixing in grabs instead of going full balls to the walls on either hits or grabs (see how the mak teched like 3 or 4 grabs at start, it's obvious she knows that she's only ever gonna need to tech or parry)

Danger Time'd anything in Xrd. But people aren't really happy about Danger Time, in general.

DP is ALWAYS unsafe

ok? she parried a lot more than a dp in that webm lol. i guess ryu could've taunted instead of immediately going in when she was stunned, that might have saved him bcuz i think ryu's taunt gives some sort of buff to his stun bar

I dont know why people say smash is Fundamentally different from other fighters.

Mixups and reading opponents are some of the things I learned in Smash that work pretty well in a shit ton of competitive environments, even blackjack

I really hope CL-R doesn't get anymore guests. Both Eltnum and Akatsuki are annoying as fuck to play against and there are lore relevant UNI characters that could be made playable instead.

Considering I'm pretty new ti fighters in general, which would be the best or worst characters to try first in Killer Instinct?

Does SamSho still have a decent player base on PS4? Payday’s tomorrow and I like the bit of it I played with a friend. Definitely appreciate the slower, more methodical approach to fightan than crazy off-the-rails combo stuff.

>Does SamSho still have a decent player base on PS4?
lol

Its pretty damn good.

What are you guys playing? I'm currently trying to wrap my gorilla brain around SamSho with Yoshitora but something just isn't clicking into place when it comes to my gameplan. I could also just be getting thrashed since everyone I've gone up against has like 1000+ games.

Really looking forward to the next DLC character too. At the same time I'm also docking around with Akatsuki Blitzkamph and might finally pick up Lethal League Blaze when the new character drops.

Tekken 7 is good, Samsho is good, Smash Ultimate is good. Here is the catch... none of those games have good online, so, you better have some one good to play offline.

Fix your aspect ratio you horrid little shitstain. /s

The fuck is this shit list?

Galford or Hanzo, ninjas are pretty fun

Street Fighter 2 Turbo with videos since it’s pretty old. Skullgirls is great about teaching you how to play but a ducking horrible experience if you plan to play online(most will be but this one especially). Killer Instinct is also good and helping you learn. I think recent NRS games do to but I’ve not touched one in ages.
Any Samurai Shodown game is a decent choice since it’s less about combos and more about fundamentals and reads.

Pick whatever game you want, even if it’s not there.
Just remember 3 important rules:
1. You will get fucked up. Losing is apart of learning so bear in mind.
2. Find someone better than you and make friends. Local play is best but online will do just fine. You learn more playing with better players.
3. It’s fine to use AI to practice actual moves and just having fun but remember you won’t learn shit playing with AI in the longrun. Other players are where the knowledge you need is.
Optional: If you have a local FGC scene or live near a tournament area go to it!
Always support your fucking local scene.
Conventions and arcades also tend to have an FGC.

In all the classics (and in some crossovers like CvS2 & NGBC) I play Haohmaru. Just a simple big button -> big damage character with a couple neat tricks.

In the new one I actually like Darli & Wu a lot. Darli just feels really good to play as and Wu just has this interesting kit that can be a zoner but can also scare you in the mid-close range. Feels a little weird since I rarely vibe with female characters but I like it.

Outside of SamSho I nearly always play the biggest fat and/or muscle dude but I really fucking hate Earthquake and have since SamSho II. I can't really pinpoint why exactly, but his moveset and design don't click with me at all. I really hate how he plays, and given how command grabs work in SamSho I'd rather just pick Darli over him (or Gaira in V Special).

What the fuck are they supposed to do, then? Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Sure, there are a few cases where characters are arbitrarily locked behind a paywall when they could've been included in the base game (ie, preorder DLC characters). But in most instances, these characters are developed after launch.

Some special moves are a bit unintuitive with keyboard like charge moves or half-circle/circle but once you get the hang of it I find them better than fightsticks and controllers.

Rotting in Hell, Mang0's next

Depends on the character. I'd be surprised if I can pull off a 720 decently

As much as I think Akatsuki is small brain the cast is full of small brain assholes. The top 5 of UNIST all have atleast 2-3 things that are flat out retarded for example Merks full screen hit grab that is confirmable that doesn't even have a hurtbox and can be used on reaction to any fireball of the game to pretty much negate any zoning in a MU that character has to put up with well having all the tools to deal with anyways.

Meanwhile Enkidu is a character designed around spacing -3/-4 situation strings to trip people up in a game where half the cast can reach these things even if they're max range spaced.

Is it even worth it to try to get into the less popular fighting games as a beginner? I'm fairly new and wanted to check out KoF 98 because it seems fun, but there's no way to play against people that have been playing for thousands of hours unless I mess around with getting involved in a discord. I don't have a problem with playing with people who are better than me but the skill gap is so vast I don't think I'd learn anything. I guess I could just lab by myself for an eternity. Also, everyone on fightcade is either brazilian or chinese.

New additional characters are a significant financial expense to develop and the price of the base game doesn't cover their development, especially considering how niche fighting games are as a whole. I think the season pass model is a completely fair way to allow consumers to add additional content to the game without having to rebuy the game over, and allows the publisher/dev to be compensated for their work, and incentivize even more added content. And like I said, the balance patches are free even if you decide not to ever buy any DLC characters, so you aren't locked out of multiplayer with an outdated version of the game.
I don't see how people defend guys like ArcSys and shit on Capcom/Namco, when ArcSys has the same "release a new revision and force everyone to rebuy the same game a year later just to get three new characters" business model that Capcom had 30 years ago.

I will care about Samsho once a punch boy gets in honestly. They all look like Enkidu and have godlike aesthetics. Either that or that dude with the musket.

You can't taunt and then also get a damage combo in that situation. It's one or the other. You can mash super fast out of stun in 3S if you're good.

I also havent played melee in years. And now I want to challenge my rival cousin again. Oh, the memories.

It's shit

>especially considering how niche fighting games are as a whole.

Why are they using so much budget then if fighting games are niche? Because they know they'll get away with DLC. If they really don't want to be called jews then they should just make development cheaper, simple as that. Games don't even have content these days so it shouldn't be too hard.

He's right you know. SFV sucks.

The one I haven't started.

As someone who plays him as a secondary I know this feel. Those off days when playing him can be pretty intense and lead to lots of mistakes but when it's a good day, getting the counter hits and baiting out with proper spacing feel so satisfying.

You could try showing them Fantasy Strike and Blade Strangers since those are similarly simple. Blade Strangers is also a crossover game of sorts; if they know Code of Princess, Umihara Kawase, Cave Story, Shovel Knight, or Binding of Isaac, then they'll know at least one character (and there's leaks that say that there's a few more characters coming, including Plague Knight).

Chaos Code, Arcana Heart 3 and Koihime are all surprisingly fun in the few hours that I've got to play them so far.

Kinda wanna try the Umineko fighter too, looks fun also.

Hah. Ask Ally about that one.
