Both broken in their current form

both broken in their current form

What went wrong? Weren't we in a second golden age?

laotians

What went wrong?

Trying to turn fighting games into a spectator sport instead of designing fighting games that are actually fun to play.

6 looks just like 5 in terms of corner carry, bring back footsies

This guy gets it.

It’s about viewership more than sales now for some buttfuck reason.

street fighter is only broken at the highest levels
t. master with half the cast

Can fatal fury save us?

Fighting games stopped being fun when they became the autistic compfag genre.

God I hate that too.

It’s like wrestling.

a second golden age?

hahaha.
we've been in a second dark age since SFV and it's not stopping.

broken

still the top played fighting games

Fighting game niggers don't deserve to be saved

At least we have Virtua F--

zero news since New VF's announcement

RGG too busy making anything else

AM2 too busy promoting REVO

for some buttfuck reason

Because nootral isn't fun to watch and tournament streams are a lucrative business now.

spbp

dead genre
dead thread

You just know NewVF will be the same as the other slop clogging the genre. They even admit as much that they will pander to the modern audience. Look at the sloppy redesign for Akira. Look at the manfaced newcomer that is Stella. If that's a woman, then Preecha CoTW is a woman.

SF6 is way better than T8 it's not even funny. It's like comparing an 8.8 game to a 4/10 game

You mean since SF2?

Japan loves throw loop 6 though so capcom won't change it

fighters is a fundamentally shit genre

no one plays fighting games
they are either broken and so no one plays them
or balanced which means the homework and practice mode doers never let you in so no one plays them
people want to play a few rounds of fotm coop slop, jerk off and go to sleep

What went wrong?

Well let's see.

tekken 8

censored + deied (put ugly shorts under lili's dress)

sf 6

censored + deied (redesigned iconic characters and introduced some of the ugliest newcomers possible)

Nah, he means GGX.
The games themselves weren't being developed with competitive autism in mind until then.

There's an easy solution to these problems: go watch porn

censorship apologist shill

subhumans like you need to shot

subhumans

I'm not the one bitching that a 16 year old girl isn't flashing her panties

yeah you are vile fucking subhuman that needs to die
16yos must all be naked for my enjoyment

Ok ESL-epstein

Epstein did nothing wrong

nigga the games would still be in dogshit states even if they looked good

Literally SF2HF was designed to be for tournament play
Fatal Fury literally made Geese because the head of SNK wanted a character that was too hard for arcade players to master.

except this T8 season 2 patch made it a borefest to spectate as well, so that's not the reason

I watched the recent redbull sf6 tournament and without knowing much about the game it looked so fucking BOOOOOOORING. It felt like they were just doing the same exact move over and over and over again. Also I have to be the first one to say it but those overly long supers are so fucking stupid, maybe It's cool the first 3 times but there's no way they actually force you to watch a 30 second cut scene every time you want to do your move. Also I hate the principle of playing for bars. They should restart on round start or something, going into a match knowing you're going to lose because your opponent has the funny little bar up is retarded. Also game looks hideous. Don't they have over a decade of 3d experience at this point?

BRO WHERES YOUR THROW TECH

just tech bro

Tekken 8's problems are way overblown. Outrage culture needs to die.

This looks fun to me.

overly long supers

compare to other fighters theyre rather short
but hey thanks for outing yourself as idiot that actually *does* know something about the game bec drones parroting streamer opinions like you are the only ones doing that
keep parroting

you were in the toxic positivity age. welcome to the reality check and consequences age.

that difference in gameplay

wtf happened to sf?

he said trying. devs are just incompetent

Just a bunch of blocking, jumping around and missing attacks

Fun

How?

Reminder that Mai is the latest DLC character, she has the best fireball drive rush and throw loop in the game, meaning that designs and patches moving forward will likely still cater to these

You should try playing games you form opinions on.

Tekken's problem is they negated options with overpowered moves that do everything resulting in binary decisions like a JRPG
Street Fighter's problem is they created a strong move that has multiple options and forces you to react and guess the 3-5 way mixup.

I'm enjoying playing some Tekken 7 again after a long time, and I'm also looking forward to Garou. I've never been too invested in getting good at 2D games but since Tekken is bad now and I loved playing KoF casually I might tryhard in Garou.

b-but celebrity characters

I don't care, I already have 2 characters I like and my KoF mains don't seem likely to appear anyway.

Why do I only hear about the shimmy in SFV and SFVI?

Tekken 8 is bad

plays even worse Tekken game

Not him, but I do not see Tekken 4 in that post.

This is bait, there isn't a soul alive that would honestly say Tekken 8 is better in its current form.
That said, T7 is my favourite fighting game in general. I don't know if previous Tekkens were better since I started with 7 and I don't really want to search for laggy emulated T5 games via discord.

What went wrong?

I'd let her stomp on my balls as much as she wanted.

all dashes and hops is some fucked up neutral but I'll still take it over zero neuch UNIVERSAL SYSTEM MECHANIC RUSH into FULL SCREEN CORNER CARRY into LOOPING 50/50s

or at least I would like to say that but some of these characters might still have too much corner carry

I'm still enjoying SF6.

fighting games into a spectator sport

Imagine being a guy who never played a fighthing game in his entire life, you're interested in getting Street Fighter 6 and see there's at tournament going to twitch. And then you see some guy turn green force a 50/50 and then throw loop 5 times in a row. Why would you buy that game?

Streaming ruined fighting games. They are so desperate to make viewers(who won't buy the game anyway) make the pogface while they watch with shit like slime rush and heat. They forgot to realize that the average normie will drop the game within a week because fighting games aren't casual games.
