Post fighting games waifu

all the fighting games I'm interested in are dead so like why should I give a shit about this genre anymore?

I just want some new designs

i don't want just "some new designs"
i want a new design that's a fucking hit
a dimes drawer that people will give a shit about for weeks and if it's female, they will line up to cosplay the fuck out of her

You shouldn't
The gacha thread is three blocks down

She can break me

so you admit fighting games are trash? thank you very much

FUCK strive
FUCK sf6
FUCK t8

LOVE FATAL FURY CALL OF THE WOLVES

Why did DOA kill itself?

wow you don't like popular things... that's so cool... huh? in fact, you like unpopular thing??? holy moly that's so cool

at the time, the state of street fighter was so bad that lots of players were branching out and giving anime games a shot like Mike Ross with Xrd and [st] was getting a lot of praise
there are a lot more solid games out this time around and the abysmal launch definitely didn't do uni2 any favors

try and get into a fightcade game, even at low player counts the online UX is so good you can basically play quickly whenever you want
saying fuck SF6 then love COTW is mad

Because people were in it 90% for the girls.
So why cater to the 10% who want a fighting game when they can cater to the majority who just want a gallery mode sold to them?

I'm not expecting this to be popular, but Daemon Bride looks really cool and I will buy it.

Are they actually porting it? I thought it was stuck on arcade machines.

They announced a port to steam with rollback, it has a page if you search for it.

I LOVE POPULAR THING (FATAL FURY CALL OF THE WOLVES)

sorry but fatal fury feels more like sf5 and thats a good thing. Fuck drive rush

confession time
i never made it past super gold in SFV or floor 7 in strive OR platinum in sf6

>Post fighting games waifu

You're lucky she made it into one so I can

It was aggressively killed by Mr Wizard and influencers running a smear campaign talking about DLC costs (they were all cosmetics)

i'm not an SF6 fan by any means, i play it super casually, i think DR would be fine if it didn't give additional advantage. i tried COTW, air parry can go fuck itself, the DI wannabe mechanic can go fuck itself but it can especially fuck itself considering i also need to be in SPG to DI back. MOTW sucks and COTW is just MOTW x SF6.

based anon going against the grain
NEVER LET THEM CONTROL YOU

HOLY

they aren't trash, the majority won't be fun to you. well over half of them are not well designed. but it's worth it for the 1-4 games you really do like, for me that's ST, VF5 and street fighter EX2, everything else ranges from games i enjoy occasionaly to dogshit. and that's fine

LOVE FATAL FURY CALL OF THE WOLVES

CotW shills don't even know the name of the game they're shilling

Sorry not an expert, ackthually i'm a Salvatore fan...i play Cry of the Wolves for him only.

what are you playing then? you ARE playing a fighting game right?

Grassroots fighting games are NOT dead. Don't listen to these herd mentality faglords who want everything to be corporatized and sanitary to the masses to have any legitimacy. Play what you like.

Wow, Kino

I can't get dengeki bunko fighting climax ignition matches outside of japan tho

my play times are egregiously low
i'm probably one of those posers everyone talks about

come to my house and install for it me and I'll play with you

65 hours in Strive

doesn't even own Rev 2

Holy based

As long as you aren't pretending to have a PHD in fighting games online then it's alright

Some guys were hosting lobbies a while back.

what are you playing then?

the one you shills are pretending is good

it is good but it requires more than rubbing two braincells together to play it

I'd play cotw but my Internet sucks. Bring back arcades

air parry

just defense is not a parry

you're right it's worse because it's even lower risk to go for

it's okay dude, you don't have to be good at every fighting game
go play samsho or smth

It's kind of a parry. There's a reason everyone compares Garou to 3S

Anyone want to play CF?

two questions about tekken
1 should i play tekken 7 since everyone seems to be making a huge stink about 8
2 how do you learn how to play tekken compared to a more traditional FG

JDs are like a parry but they also work as an extension of regular blocking. I like that about them. That's why I like a lot of things about Garou, it's got all this unique systems-oriented shit but all of it builds on your ordinary neutral at the end of the day instead of rewriting the book on it like so many games do. It means you can play it like a regular-ass fighting game semi-effectively and organically build on the way you play it as you gain better knowledge of the systems.

we don't "play" here

Only under nightfags play anything

Tekken 7 was pretty fun to play akuma and geese.

Sometimes I play +R here but I’m tired

but tekken is a traditional fg

that was kinda retarded wording on my part i meant compared to 2(.5)D FGs

Is KOF13 fixed yet? I always wanted to try that one

It's kind of a parry

does darkstalkers have a parry? you can, after all, block in the air and guard cancel DP on the ground

Those mechanics are nothing at all like Parry, unlike Just Defends which obviously very similar to SF3 parry

1 should i play tekken 7 since everyone seems to be making a huge stink about 8

T7 works better as a "Tekken teaching tool" than T8 imo, if I were you I'd get it both if 7 turns out to be on sale.
Namco is bound to fix T8 so I wouldn't pass on it to be honest.

2 how do you learn how to play tekken compared to a more traditional FG

By watching videos primarily. I recommend watching videos on
- spacing
- throw breaking
- how to use your lows effectively
- sidestepping and sidewalking
- korean backdashing
- crouch cancelling
- whiff and block punishing
and if you do buy T8
- how to use heat, the new mechanic that everyone hates

Namco is bound to fix T8 so I wouldn't pass on it to be honest.

Where does this blind optimism of yours come from?

Where does this blind optimism of yours come from?

No idea

1. they were making a huge stink about T7 during T7 lifespan. T8 is just that much dumber at high level. If you're just beginning the serie, the low level battleground will be the same monkey business
2. they're not that different, the same principles applies to every fighting games, and you can just treat a sidestep as a jump. the only real thing that can fuck with your muscle memory would be the fact the default guard is the standing one

Those mechanics are nothing at all like Parry

that's my point

i watched a video earlier about that and it seems to function a lot better but with a lot of caviar to it.

don't alt tab during matches

make sure to set the backgrounds so they're static

it's not very populated

Who are they revealing for Tekken 8 at EVO Japan?

Because for whatever fucking reason, Team Ninja tried to cater to the esports scene AGAIN even though it failed miserably with their attempt on DOA5. Unfortunately unlike DOA5, DOA6 was a much worse game overall and they made more horrendous decisions with the game like the hair color dlc and best of all not launching with fucking lobbies.

Someone who can save T8's popularity among blind followers. My bet is on Armor King.

Nobody wants more m*le characters

Team Ninja tried to cater to the esports scene AGAIN

Did they? I distinctly remember a lot of critiscism regarding lost mechanics (and added meter) from experienced players that fell into deaf ears

When the FUCK is the titcow releasing Granbluebros, I thought she was supposed to be out by now

Not a single person plays fighting games.

Tekken has no good girls that aren't already in 8. the last quality one was Anna and well, you know what happened with her.

Yep. It's why they toned down the fanservice of the game compared to 5 with their designs for the girls in it, and adding in the black paint to certain costumes so they were esports "friendly". I remember the once mechanic people really made a fuss over was the removal of force tech which they eventually did add back in but by then it was already over and fans stopped playing.

Yeah sure

Another one

got it

Name literally one (1) fighting game with a cast of zany wacky colorful characters.

note: at least 2 characters must be non human

You simply can't and that's why fighting games suck

And another one okay I'm actually not that serious about this one

kyanta

waku waku 7

Guilty Gear??????
You literally have a bed as a character which has a loli follower

killer instinct

Seriously?

Marvel vs Capcom 3

Nobody plays these so they don't count

Blazblue

Tekken usually has at least two animals, plus some robots

bitch

Poseur game
Flop game
You don't play.

Heh… Let’s just say Strive got a little TOO colorful.

i-it doesn't count!!!

CALL OF THE WOLVES

The pretending begins.

boomer shit
anime shit
tranny shit

They just don't count I'm sorry they don't count

Anyone want to play MOTW?

incels being obsessed with attractiveness and popularity is like blacks getting riled up by people trying to agitate them on purpose

uhh yea bro I totally love fatal fight cry of the wolves

It’s City of the Wild

Yawn.
Make the next thread a cotw thread so we can talk about a real game.

Guilty Gear Strive have 2 robots, 1 hommunculus, 2 time travelers, 1 blind guy, 2 kings, 1 female monster, 3 gay dudes, 1 doctor, 1 fat guy, 1 overbuffed guy, 1 ninja, 1 samurai, 1 dancer, 1 assasin, 3 clones of a women and 1 vampire.
Note that some of them share this characteristics.

unironically any word starting with c would've been better for the title than city

Even
Cum?

Fatal fury: Blonde Boys

no seriously count them blonde guys make up like half the roster

Cock?

Mortal Kombat has a ninja for every color of the rainbow. That's pretty colorful

Tryed COTW, honestly is kinda mid.
Need some tweeks in the system and a lot of new characters to make it better.

trinity

4 games

poseur instead of poser

eslGODS.......

How about the ninja that is a rainbow?.

This is literally me lmao
Keep coping
love me some call of the wolf

How about some translucent niggas?

cuntboy?

Caca

It is funny how mad bridget fans get about blazblue. I guess it's either because it has loli fanservice or because it's an actual good game.

no one plays this game

your playing this game doesn't count because nobody plays it

no one plays this game

the queen is dead, long live the queen

or because it's an actual good game

It became a discord fighter just like CotW did because it was such a "good game"?

SF6 has players.

discord fighter

I can fight people without using discord though?

give it to me straight, how dead is fatal fury?

Waiting patiently fo her update, and doesnt matter if is a shitty character, I will still main her on pvp.

Actually it's such a good game that it still hasn't became a discord fighter even a decade later. You need to stop confusing "discord fighters" and "games that don't have brisket type characters".

It literally has 10 million players. Everyone and their grandma is playing collection of the wolves

Something must have happened to anons once 4ching went down because these threads are carrying way more insufferable faggots now.

Your schizophrenia forcing you to bring up that character aside why would you think it's bridget fans making a post like that when it's just about poser core games which those tend to be on this site. Less poser core than Xrd of course but still.

the lowest common denominator attracts a majority

WHOA....

It is not "dead" by any metric. It's easy as shit to find matches just from booting the game. People have been moving goalposts left and right, "YEAH WELL THE SKILL LEVELS ARE GONNA BE DISPARATE," "YEAH WELL THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE CLOSE TO YOU," there's a genuine fucking gaslighting campaign going on to keep people from playing this game. Reminder that your typical Gamergate Anon Babble scum was really fucking butthurt about Mai's redesign so that probably has a non-negligible effect on discourse in a place with as many retards as here.

Who is this and would she love me even if I was a loser?

I've noticed it too, everything is a popularity contest. Better guess is more people found out about the site from the news of it going down so we're probably housing a bunch of underaged retarded newfaggots.

Its doing good, but needs to improvise if it plans to be popular for a long time.

Anon Babble will keep spamming the 900 players screenshot, but the reality is that the 24 hour peak has barely budged from the 2k players mark and the game has crossplay.
Unlike something like DNF Duel which had a higher peak, but instantly fell off a cliff, people actually seem to be sticking with CotW because it's a good fighting game. Plus is has crossplay so you can still find matches in seconds at any time of the day.

It's been like this across the board for a while. I was hoping the hack would put the website down like a sick dog, but we've just returned to the status quo of shitposters and apathetic moderation

And that's despite there being a significant drop in the user base after the site came back online.

ninja shit

it's simple: what's left of the casual/honest posters are gone after the hack, all that remains are the schizos, shitposters, shills and bots, it's not just on Anon Babble but on the entire site

Strive players (who usually like it because of Bridget since the gameplay is bad) have a stick up their ass over Blazblue because it's known as a more skilled and complex fighting game. And they're all the type to seethe over anything anime that isn't bridget or generic shounen, especially lolis like Platinum and Rachel. This is why they say discord fighter about a game that you would never need discord for. Because it appeals to a "problematic" group in their eyes and isn't watered down like Strive, neither in design nor gameplay.

It's just Anon Babble shitposting on Anon Babble isn't it?

because it's known as a more skilled and complex fighting game

When is Anon Babble going to learn that fighting games failing doesn't have anything to do with this, but because of how little overall appeal these games have? I've already seen anons try to use this excuse for CotW as well.

It's not that I'm not good, it's that I'm not interested in these games enough to get good

You didn't think your talking point through, anon.

I said that's why strive players get mad about it. Blazblue actually sold quite well in its time. It's an old game and still the most active of the old anime games. If you don't like a good game I don't have a reason to try to convince you otherwise.

Blazblue actually sold quite well in its time

So why is the franchise dead then?

I was joking about you being schizo but you might actually be to think strive players think about BB like that if even at all. Also to think the people still playing strive aren't playing it because they like the gameplay since most don't give a fuck about Bridget. It's like saying the people still playing dogshit ass Tekken 8 aren't playing it because they like it at this point.

enforce the fucking trolling rule mods, sharing a space with these underaged retards is beneath me

Because Mori left. It's a finished series. In fighting games you don't need new content like you would in a battle royale or whatever. In modern times you should be thankful if your favorite fighting game series isn't getting new games.

The story is finished and the one attempt to milk BB further (the shitty gacha) has failed completely.

Dead in what way? The story is over so the storyfags are begging for it to come back while the people who actually play it still do.

SFV finished the story and Capcom fired it's director and the franchise is still going.

if it was good I'd know about it

if it was good it'd be popular

if it was good it'd be in my face 24/7

this is the brain of a crackhead gen alpha who only knows how to swipe between apps

discord fighter in 1 week

I'm only speaking from what I've seen. Whenever you see someone talking about how blazblue is bad because of the artbook or characters it's always someone who's a big bridget fan.
Okay? What does that have to do with blazblue, which had an actual ending to the story? You keep spamming this like you think I want more blazblue games. I don't, trust me.

Where's Iron saga VS? :(

SFV finished the story

How come it finished SF's story when it precedes SF3's and SF6's stories?

That's because SF isn't the baby of a singular creator.
BB will come back after Strive is finished with its support though, Arcsys has no reason to have two games compete with each other.

Name what experience you have to qualify this claim or just admit you're a fucking retard repeating what you heard other people say like a subhuman herd animal

How old are you boomer kun?

new characters should be free content prove me wrong

call out underaged

anon obviously feels called out

yeah that doesn't make it obvious

Why is nina so low shes fun

I'm 45

It is for me.
And it's not like that saved MBTL neither

if it was good it'd be popular

this but unironically
Anon Babble can say skill issue as much as it wants, but the truth is that games like Blazbue, CotW, KI, etc. don't sell as well as games like Tekken and Street Fighter because of an OVERALL quality issues.
You can argue that they have better gameplay, but they absolutely fail as an overall package.

everything should be free. I should be able to sit at home and do nothing a get whatever I want.

She is hard

This is a weird zoomer mindset where you think sales are the only thing that matter. Blazblue for example, as an overall package, could only be rivaled by sf4. No other sf or tekken. "B-b-but it sold less please validate me!!!" No, sorry, but a wider appeal rarely makes something better.

Eh I don't mind paid character as long as your base roster is strong enough and said characters pay for the game's extended life.
One thing that I think it's extremely jewish is having to pay in order to lab AGAINST them. God fucking dammit

Unironic story in fighting games fags

Oh so BBfags don't even play fighting games lololo

Br*dget fans love BB because it brought the vomit flag to ArcSys games though??

I love bridget posting and identity politics!!!

They asked why there were no new games. Mori left which is the main reason, and the story is also finished. You have to have started this year or so if you think the absence of new games in a series is a bad thing. Being able to stay on and play a good one long term is far preferable.

make a room to play against someone of high level

drink to calm nerves against said high levelers

only low levelers show up

sober up

finally high levelers show up when nerves are maxed out

get washed

fucking faggotry

You have to have no idea about Mori or ArcSys to even think of these when he's the sole reason why the series actually devolved into a gacha
Fucking secondary posers

If you see someone talk shit about a game on another site in one particular way then assume someone on another site talk shit about the game in a completely different way must be the exact same kind of person you might be retarded. For example, If my brain worked like yours I'd assume everyone talking about anime fighters on this site is a either tranny or nigger/spic that loves or doesn't mind trannies.

A good drinker stays drunk 100% of the time.

i don't have that much beer left

Look, this is a pointless conversation and I should have expected it from the start, but I think we can just agree that we have different ideas of what makes a game good. You like characters like Bridget and a game with a lot of social media around it. I like characters like Platinum and games with good gameplay. Neither of us is explicitly incorrect, it is in the eye of the beholder.

Get a stronger drink so you get tipsy quicker and make it last longer.

Nobody even said anything about Bridget in that post anon your baits are getting lower quality

bridget this bridget that all the time evrty thread shut uuuuuuuuuppppppppp

You are the only person bringing up bridget in this thread. You are thinking about that little shit magnet more than anyone else in this thread.

Yeah that's your fault by going for something with low alcohol content in the first place, get something like vodka which has way higher alcohol to price ratio

girl

I associate the seethe over blazblue and calling it a discord fighter with bridget fans because that's the case 99% of the time. But okay even if that's not why you're doing it, you're just as retarded if you can only like something if it's the single most popular game in a genre instead of liking a game based on anything else.

Sounds like you're totally not obsessed with Bridget.

Look tranny, you can host a BBCF room right now if you can't find a game and have to resort to crap like this
FT10

instead of liking a game based on anything else

You only like blazblue because you're a pedo.
When that is the fanbase a game attracts, there's no shock that it turns into a discord fighter.

pedo

Platinum is completely unironically an old guy though

One of you niggers better post a CF lobby or I'll do it for you.

OUTRUNNING THE CIRCLE OF TIME

KoFXII was a gorgeous game. feels like XIII reduced some of the pixelated details and cut frames, plus the stage-by-stage lighting was far less pronounced. I wish XIII really was the finished version of XII and not just '02 lite.

you can host a BBCF room right now if you can't find a game and have to resort to crap like this

oh nea-

FT10

n/m

NTA but i'm 45 too single, good job, frens...living the dream

You keep saying most of the time when you mean SOME of the time on twitter. I've seen some there shit talk bb too but that's like 5 people over the course of 3 years. Either way stop bringing up the character unprompted like people here are the exact same as people there, it just makes you look fucking crazy and a little stupid.

Oh was that an olive branch? It is hard to tell. You've got some years on me assuming you aren't foolin'.

I already said I can find a game anytime. It’s midnight so I don’t feel like playing but I’ve played in lobbies here before multiple times.
You might be thinking of Cagliostro, but Platinum is made up of Luna and Sena, two souls without a body that were put into an artificial body by Trinity.

can I join too?

Yeah, not like the other anon showed.

kek, really?

I have spent more time in the past 2 days browsing threads about fighting games than I have spent actually playing fighting games in the past 2 years

how long is this room gonna be up

I only play fighting games solo these days since the ones I'm into are dead. I wish I could get into SF but it looks so boring

Probably an hour, I need to wake up early.

wtf, lmao

It always boils down to how people just don't want heat. It's not that a game is REALLY "dead," it's that they'll get shitstomped by someone who actually knows what they're doing. I guess people don't know to find their BnBs and anti-airs first anymore? No mind for what's safe or unsafe? Just, "I lost, I don't know why, this is the game's fault"? Kinda disheartening to see. Fighting game players aren't heart surgeons, getting into these games isn't THAT hard.

make a lobby right now

that's disappointing

stop using gang lingo to talk about games nobody knows what a bnbs is

Autistic little nigger, this is where you ASK what a BnB is. Fighting games are an enthusiast genre within an already fairly niche interest at least insofar as competitive games. They are going to have terminology.

How are you in a fighting game thread when you don't know what a bnb is?

I can't understand what a casual actually thinks like but they watch pro gameplay and think everybody and their mother plays like that online instead of understanding that 98% of a fighting game's population simply CANNOT play like the pros.
Then they get this warped perception of needing optimal combos out the gate or some shit. Apparently they're SO casual that they can't learn while they play. They can't ascertain or even remember what moves are feasibly safe or unsafe.
And even then, what's their excuse? Fighting games get datamined as soon as they come out and all the necessary frame data and beginner combos are spoon-fed to them with video guides and documents. Motherfuckers simply can not and do not want to learn.
They want the glamor of pro play without a single shred of effort.

I thought this was about Tekken first, god I wish they'd get rid of heat. And rage

People who don't play fighting games have admitted to coming into these threads to just talk shit.

Sums up gen alpha desu. Just, "my gratification, on my terms, now, when I want it." That's what happens when you grow up groomed on social media apps and your parents are oh so proud of how fast you can swipe like a mongoloid. It's wild to think SF4 is still fairly "new school" overall but absolutely could not happen today to the extent that was as a competitive phenomenon because these kids are just far too scrubby.

Im not learning your lingo "homie". I shouldn't have to just to play a game

Give me 1 hour to make breakfast and I hop on
T.EUgawd

I have no interest in this thing, let me occupy its space

no you dumb fucking nigger kid, get the fuck out

tbf that is one of those "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situations

Find fighting game that has good gameplay

Show anon lower/average level gameplay

"Wow, this looks clunky as shit." (I've seen some scrubs say that CotW is slow.)

Show anon higher level gameplay

"Wow, this looks way too hard/boring, I'm going to get crushed by veterans if I play this."

The winning move is to make lower level gameplay look good. But that results in shit like Tekken where you can literally mash random shit and get neat stuff to happen, or Mortal Kombat where the entire appeal is the post-match fatality animations.

i'm not going to put in a drink for an hour only

So should I play CotW?

You know what I honest-to-God think has a lot to do with it? The underselling and even shaming of singleplayer content. Look, I don't know what it's worth in the grand scale, alright, but I've played nothing but AI in CotW since the betas, and I played my friend the other day and won both sets. It could be that the game is systems-heavy enough that you get legitimate practice with stuff like JDs, guard cancels, et al to get legitimate practice with them. But I've played games where I practiced first playing singleplayer at least to know what my moves are and their general applications and it was beneficial to playing real people after. But there's a lot of rhetoric in fighting games that this only fosters "bad habits," like you're only ever going to be cheesing the CPU or something. Sure, when it gets REALLY hard, that's all you CAN do, but that doesn't mean that's what it's all like.

man i forgot i was dressed like your mom
wait let me take off the disguise

Since you missed the two open betas, pirate it and come up with an answer to that yourself.

Oh and I forgot to lampshade the obvious "well your friend is probably just cheeks," which, idk. How do we even measure that with what's demonstrated in gameplay in a game like CotW? All anyone points to is rank anymore.

buy it on sale for 20 bucks later or play the crack until they fix it, i got bored in like 12 hours

You can literally mash random shit and get neat stuff to happen

Lies, It's not like TekKeK is mashbuttons festival since 30 years ago...just wait for the next patch

It is a very good fighting game.
If that sounds appealing to you, then try it out.

you know what i'll wait until next week when i don't have to wait in line for one more set

That's not rhetorical btw, I'm genuinely curious for the sake of conversation what someone would demonstrate during a match in CotW that makes you think, "yeah, this guy knows what he's doing"

You can't do random shit in 2D fightans, maybe you can throw a lucky DP or land a combo, out of muscle memory, you didnt even know you've perfected yet, but forget about doing random stuff by pushing buttons like 3D or tranime fighting games.

I'm not speaking as a beginner bro lmao. I was more thinking along the lines of them doing something like consistent JDs that render what would otherwise be safe into an opportunity for them--that's the first thing that pops into my mind at that thought. Combos are too low of a bar.

But there's a lot of rhetoric in fighting games that this only fosters "bad habits," like you're only ever going to be cheesing the CPU or something.

I wouldn't say it's only bad habits, you still get good practice with aspects like input execution and on the higher levels of CotW, what moves are unsafe and what is fake pressure when going up against the AI. But I think the main detraction is the fact that the AI is not a human, thus you don't get any practice on the finer details of fighting another person. Like you can't mix-up the AI, you can't condition the AI, you don't learn how to defend against pressue, etc.
Even without the cheese, I think it's always a negative in the long run to put most of your time into fighting the AI. With the exception of something like KI's Kyle difficulty (adaptive AI) or CotW's Clone battle (mirroring the actions of real players).

Just in terms of things unique to CotW?

Baiting an anti-air into a guard cancel divekick special

Shutting down Rev Blows with a high crush

Using Rev Accel to turn an unsafe blockstring into a safe one

Remembering that Rev Guard exists

Winning with Tizoc

Knowing how to do all 3 taunts

I kinda want to record some AI gameplay footage so anons can weigh in on what it looks like compared to two real people fighting. Think it'd be interesting. It definitely has its holes though. It never mixes up its AA options and will go for full animation JD bait uppercut every time.

Man sometimes I hate these niggas on Fightcade, they all have too much hours in these games and they all pick fucking Iori and Chris. Only Europeans (Turks not included) are consistently fun to play against.

Go lab your character for an hour learning his strings and bnb combos and then go online and start having fun. Maybe play arcade mode first idk. When you eat or take a shit or commute you can watch guides on YouTube, follow streamers that main your guy and learn to do what they do (i.e. using powerful attacks with plus on block, creating setups, using wall pressure etc).
Honestly I don't think learning Tekken is that hard, it's just a thing you learn forever because there's too much information.

what moves are unsafe and what is fake pressure

It lowkey blows my mind that the AI in CotW punishes as consistently as it does. For as cheap as a lot of other games get, it usually has a brain fart if you do something brazenly unsafe. This game tho will jab check the shit out of you and even confirm off it. I love seeing stuff like that. Like "YEA ok a real person would do that too"

youtu.be/znzQ1FhXU8g?si=Gtk1gaZxe2H2Z2yf

daigo said sf6 is harder than four

Oh nono honest footsies boomer bros i thought our games are epic and hardcore???

Like "YEA ok a real person would do that too"

I think that only really applies to higher level players. You'd be surprised how often you can get away with EX Burn Knuckle > EX Crack Shoot online without eating shit. But yeah, as a learning tool, CotW's AI isn't the worst most of the time.
What's bullshit about CotW's AI is how it blatantly input reads for command grabs, the fucking frame press the button to initiate it, you'd better believe the AI is going to neutral jump and punish the fuck out of you.

daigo the salaryman

man I coulda won that plat mirror match if i didnt choke on casting miracle jeanne, nerves got to me
hope im not boring you guys too much since I dont really know my bnbs or gameplan despite fucking with most of the cast

SoulCalibur

DAYS SINCE SC6GROOMER DIDNT SHILLED HIS 3D PARTY GAME ZERO (0)

People actually play CF though.

Failed to* but he did try like thrice

what happened to my hammerhead shark nigga smug? i liked watching him getting wiggity washed in old fighters

hope im not boring you guys too much since I dont really know my bnbs or gameplan despite fucking with most of the cast

It's all good man, but I'm getting tired so I'm going to close the lobby in 10 minutes.

I saw him streaming COTW yesterday

COTW has been the most fun I've had in a while with modern fighting games. I could gush about the fun I've had with it.

Tekken. Lee is literally Bejita if he was charismatic.

that izayoi teleport

GGs and thanks, I had fun even if I was punching way above my weight with everyone that joined
you guys are actually harder to beat than the random pink squares that come into my beginner lobbies to bully me but I enjoyed the challenge

...how so?

meat for

Both are eternal jobbers who want to take down their long time opponent

Lobby is closed, GGs to everyone that joined, death to nonplayers.

gg

SnakeEyez stream

Kevin vs. Kain on the screen

Official art btw.

Rumble Fish 2

I like me some street fighter. I'm very casual, probably have about 200 hours across all fightan games.

Am i the only one that cant stand arcsys low framerate animation style? It just makes shit look wrong. I can get past the tranime weirdness but the slowmo look really grates me.

no...no...NOOOO ITS A DEAD DISCORD FIGHTER STOP PLAYING IT NOOOOOW

Tekken 4 had the best art

Yes, it’s very fun and very thoughtfully designed.
There are lots of defensive options between just defense, hyper defense and dodge moves (a universal overhead and anti-air), and even the now obligatory hyper armor turn-stealing mechanic that is in every new fighting game is well implemented.
It’s a very fun game. Roster could be better, but there’s already a lot of variety there.

I was just thinking watching Granblue earlier how stilted and awkward the animations look. Yeah, individual poses might have some fluid detail here and there, but overall it was extremely choppy. I swear anime players are reading visual effects more than the actual characters.

it 100% instills bad habits.
The actual good single player mode that makes you improve is called training mode.

his computer broke

bro just use the FGC-approved take without formulating your own opinions or experience dude trust me

"no." I guarantee I've been playing these games longer than you anyway.

You can already score it for under $40 on key reseller sites fwiw

EOST is fun and I bet the survival stages in South Town+ have AI better at the game than someone who goes NOOOO YOU HAVE TO THINK LIKE I DO ABOUT THE GAME AND YOUR OPINION ONLY MATTERS AT [x] RANK. fuck you fags.

yeah, I thought id give granblue a go since reddit gushed over it. Couldn't stand looking at training mode.
The choppiness just fucks with me too much, it's like playing at 12fps or something.

there is absolutely no debate about it and no you have not.

fgc-approved

is such a gay thing to say in the first place. look at all the good players in the game right now. do you think any of them played against the cpu? do you think that they wouldve actually improved faster if they didnt grind training mode/vs humans?
laughable.

I saw your frog, I saw your utter inability to perceive beliefs other than your own, and I said "yeah! this is a guy whose take I REALLY want to read!" just kidding. fuck off

strive has same shit going on
most grim part is zoomers eat up that style of animation

Okay but like, are you a good player, frogposter
You kind of just seem like a retarded, terminally online faggot

your beliefs are retarded and nobody will ever take you seriously.
just pointing it out in case nobody has ever told you that.

enjoy staying dogshit at fighters until the rest of your life as you waste time playing against retarded CPUs.

okay, what's fun about it?

For some reason it took me longer to notice in strive but i still cant get into that game for the same reason, wasn't too big a fan of the ost either.

He's a fucking retard. Nobody said playing CPU is BETTER than real people. He's jumping to conclusions to build strawmen. He's a fuckin' idiot.

I'm doing OK desu. Won my weekly matches for COTW so far.

why does everyone on this board hate strive? is it literally just because it has a trans character or what

I like Granblue Versus
It's fun

not only is it worse than playing people, it actively makes you worse and ingrains bad behavior that takes people months to years to get rid of.
seen it way too often.

But LIEK le NOBODY will take you LE SERIOUS fightan is SRS BIZNES OKAY
My favorite twitch streamers and youtubers said it directly to my face, personally, to me. We are laughing at you
Do you think that guy has ever played these games with another real person in real life before? I doubt he has.

I don't need your troll ass policing my opinions and experience alright? Go to Reddit where your faggot ass can downvote. And why, so you can be a catcher in the rye to PRESSING BUTTONS GOOD? WHO THE FUCK CARES.

my man is grubbling???

Its just Anon Babble shitposting in Anon Babble threads thats literally it

I dont care yet I get extremely asshurt when someone corrects me

lol

people hated it way before daisuke sold out to troons.

I'm an annoying retard and think it's a spectacle when someone reacts appropriately to my being an annoying retard

Great! Get the fuck out.

gg is the biggest poser game in all of fighting games. strive is dumbed down and launched with mostly functional netcode, so the gg franchise can't be gatekept anymore. Anon Babble was calling strive a tranny game since the first beta test.

are you trying to downvote my post right now?

I just don’t like it very much. I don’t find it very fun to play.
I also think the way Bridget was portrayed was really unfortunate, but I would be more than willing to look past that if I actually thought the game was fun. I really don’t enjoy that corner mechanic, don’t appreciate the removal of Gatlings, don’t like how the characters’ movesets shrank so much and just don’t really enjoy the newcomers or general aesthetic of the game as much as I did in the previous two entries.

I have :^)

dude won a local against his local mashers and went IT IS NOW MY DUTY TO START KEEPING THE GATE. fuck right off my guy. or better yet post your CotW tag. I'm curious now.

Did you make any friends?

you sound upset

nice dodge pussy

People tend to get upset when you’re a dick to them, anon.

its the other way around. I converted friends into players.
one had to crash at my place because he was basically homeless for some weeks so I taught him how to play.

I wasnt a dick he is just mentally unstable.

JP Mark of the Wolves tourney on right now.
twitch.tv/fantasistaokayama

I can’t say I agree.

JP MotW

Grant on the screen

of course

well you are wrong then

its fucked up how much cooler grant is compared to vox raper

There was a good Rock and Terry earlier. But this Grant ran through them...

Damn, I slept through the BlazBlue lobby

it's easy to shitpost about, that's it really. imo play whatever you like

garou actually has good walk speeds.
in cotw its molasses unless you run or dash. why are modern snk games like this?

It's the Street Fighter 5 of GG. Feels like my arms and legs are chained down while playing that game. No freedom.

I'm feeling like joining my locals soon but all I have is a pico based stick.
Do PS5s really give you the boot if you don't jack in an official stick?

you can get an adapter.

MotW does control like absolute butter and I was disappointed by CotW's control in comparison. I don't hold it against it too hard though, that's a high bar.

Dammit is it only brook that makes them? These are so expensive

pretty schnasty tripguard confirm into super

I'm having some fun with it due to it being simple at its core but god damn I'm getting fucked over so hard by the system in the game coming over from KOF.

can't really do anything on wake up

99.99% of the moves in the game feel as though they have zero recovery and are plus on whiff

rolling is practically worthless

jump ins feel absolutely useless and never lead to any combos at least that's what it feels like on Soriz

its just a trend in modern fighters to nerf basic walkspeed and to offload it to run/dash/meter mechanics and other slop like that. players in that tournament use runs too but the runs arent multiple times faster than regular walking like in current stuff.
its a trend I really dislike.

Im only aware of brooks.

why does everyone on this board hate strive?

this will solve shitters complayinig about being stuck in corner :^^^)

funnyroo

You obviously weren't here for, "Why, so only you and your friends can play it?" Arcsys were the first FG dev to sell their souls.

strive "gameplay"

NOO WHY GRAPPLER IS ALLOWED TO BE GOOD RUSHDOWN MAFIA SAVE ME

For all the bitching zoomers do about HUDs, why don't I see people raising a stink about these Final Fight 1 looking ass rectangles?

It is insane that in the age of modern fgs, ArcSys came out with the most dumbed down game relative to past ones.

if you want to play dogshit one touch trash nobody will stop you but dont be surprised when people look at you funny when you eat a whole turd in front of them.

if you [SHITTER BABBLE]

done.

What's insane to me is how anime games by and large have this implicit reputation for being the hardest of the core as the whole reason pepole get into them when that's literally only true for one sub-installment of one game Arcsys made when everything before was more straightforward and everything after has been desperately backpedaling

soive is a game so repulsive all the old players instantly quit at launch and the void was filled by mashing trannies.

food analogy

On match #1042 on Billy's stage

Just now noticed that one of the shops in the background it Lilly's, she got her own bakery

cute
Billy probably murders anyone that even thinks of robbing the place.

because everyone that cares has already given up on strive
it was maybe the single most common complaint on and before launch, maybe even more than missing gatlings or the slow airdash, to the point that Daisuke specifically responded and promised to "make it rock" and then added that black shit at the top

I like the hud and COUNTER is kino

for me, its the MS paint POSITIVE triangle in the corner.
straight up UI design is my passion tier.

damn seeing these two niggas in MotW have to actually play the game and not just mash on their character gimmicks, nice to see

Daisuke wasted all his potential to make a half assed game. I can't believe you people are so naive that you'd pretend the game is more than something than it really is or that there will ever be a fighting game like Guilty Gear truly was again. He wasted all his potential just to appeal to a bunch of assholes who didn't even give a shit about his product in the first place and pretend like they do. Personally? I hate people. They are the WORST. The guy wasted all his potential just to sell a title. Not the heart and soul of the game, but the name and nothing more. It isn't much different for anything else in the modern day and age. It's always been like that for all forms of art, but it's only gotten worse throughout the course of history.

I think Wallsplat is a cool and innovative FG mechanic that solved a visual issue that many fighting games have; which is not having most of the action of the match take place on the edge of the screen (the corner). If you look at a lot of fighting game matches and if it's one-sided..
nvm

I used to just assume Terry was higher tier in MotW because I could play him semi effectively thinking I must've been carried or something. Turns out dude is like C tier. Like "damn maybe I was actually kinda nice back then." High point was making a high rank Grant have to visibly recalculate his approach because I could run up > jab stuff and confirm his lunge every time. Felt gdlk

wallbreaks could have been cool in a different game
put them in a fast paced low damage game and then make breaking the wall a relatively high damage reward for getting two or three hits in a row and taking them to the corner in exchange for resetting to neutral and it could have been fun and interesting to play around
unfortunately Strive is not that game

I'm surprised at how chill most characters are about characters like Kain, Vox and Billy being career criminals. In any other franchise they'd be the villains, but they're positioned in more of an antihero role.
Kevin is the only one I've seen so far that doesn't like any of them.

Strive hud tells you that you are HIV positive

Kino

that asshole that showed up last week didn't want to show up this week
figured
i oughtta find out who he is irl and kick him in the nuts into his throat and make him suck his own dick

Of course the jeet thinks shit is food lmao

It's kinda awkward coming off MotW but it's not really the result of the game's storytelling, since lol. It's more like you assume this Kain dude is one evil motherfucker for the fact that he's the REAL final boss. Plus Grant is all hell/demon themed so that's obviously evil, so you think the guy above him must be like, whoa, SUPER evil.

meds

which i'll be stuffing up your ass

meds AND bbc

Terry hasn't ever really been good in any game except for XV at launch. Unless it turns out he's actually gawd in COTW secretly.

In the case of Kain and Vox, they're only antiheroes for the particular story of CotW since the main objective is getting Rock's mom/Kain's sister back. The unlockable EOST conversation with Kain and Rock makes it clear that the former still wants his "ideal world" and that the latter completely opposes it. If there's another Fatal Fury game (and granted Krauser doesn't switch things up if/when he returns) the plot for the next game is obviously being set up as Rock vs. Kain for control of the future of South Town.

Billy on the other hand has always been pic, also iirc The Howard Connection (mostly) isn't an evil organization and was actually a net positive for South Town as it kept a lot of shit in check. It's just that Geese was a massive cunt that killed the father of the franchise protag so FF's first main plotline revolved around personal revenge. Even Terry straight up says that he has nothing against Billy, any beef was specifically with Geese only.

you're just asking for you are self at this point

what did he meant by thus?

Unless it turns out he's actually gawd in COTW secretly

Terry and Marco are the high tier characters nobody is talking about due to how fucked Hotaru, Hokutomaru and Kain are atm.

manlet thinks he's a man

Interesting. I never did much digging in SNK stuff come to think of it, mostly just played. Capcom is where I did more research. Play Terry in pretty much all of 'em though. '98, XV, MotW, CotW... also Smash[/spoilre]

Terry is going to be gawd tier after he dodges the first wave of balance patches.

I'm just a lurk so I can't speak on the behalf of shitposters but I'll greentext my own issues with the game

Art style looks worse

Feels like you weigh 500 tons and are underwater so doesn't even feel like a anime fighter

Character reimaginings and the general pivot away from hard rock otaku aesthetics/attitude rubs me the wrong way

I don't want to play the majority of the cast because they are boring and feel like shit compared to prior iterations

I'll still put it on now and then to cycle through chaos, qdizzy, niggeryuki, asska because I think they are neat sans the brainrot qdizzy introduces to my muscle memory for past games, but after that I'm bored and ready to put on a different game.
Its worth enough revisiting from time to time for those reasons but as a overall package I do not find it nearly as engrossing as their past releases like BBCF and XRD that never seem to get old. Even the more offshoot releases like hokuto no ken and persona 4 arena ultimax are more immediately appealing when brainstorming a lineup for game night.
I can vouch Its a great game to break in friends to the genre as their first set of training wheels but after that it just gets dull.

censoredslop shill doesn't even know the name of the game

kek

dont care still playing cubicle of the wolves

Does anyone want a SoulCalibur II or VI lobby?

most dumbed down game relative to past ones

I understand most people on this board either don't play fighting games or only play anime fighters so they latch onto strive as some ultimate braindead evil but that isn't true in the slightest. That belongs to Tekken 8.

nah. t8 is still way more tekken than soive is GG.
I actually had to laugh when I picked Nagoriyuki at launch.

remedial genre for rogs

That is about the exact same level of retardation as Xrd sin so I don't know what to tell you.

lol

lol

love me some crucifixion of the wolves

Also I know you haven't played Tekken 8 because if you did you would fully understand how fucking braindead it is compared to any previous Tekken. If strive was actually as bad or worse it would've actually died.

Unfortunately, Tekken still has more players. Steamchart average fell below 5k for the first time and it can't even get 6k peak on a weekend anymore.

Nagoriyuki is hakumen turned over on its head to make it more palatable for beginners. Blood is just magatamas reversed. His ability to do wtf special cancel bullshit while paying resource is the same, damage output is comparable. Still quarter as cool as Hakumen, cause fucking people up with random ass hop tk tsubaki feels hundred times better than beyblade rps.

tekken is bigger than soive and soive genocided all the old players and replaced them with new trannies.
it was way more disastrous than any S2 T8 patch could ever be.

atleast strive replaced it boomer playerbase with new people
only battered wife syndrome boomers play kekken 8

tekken 8 is like if arcsys looked at the feedback to Xrd and decided to make danger time a core mechanic that activated every round
which would be fucking retarded but is still not nearly as big a change as they actually made going from xrd to strive

the analogy might fit to a degree but there is a general lack of nuance to nagoriyuki that makes it all so lame and gay.
round start spin, either you die or I die. people won tournaments like this.

there is no at least this is the worst possible scenario. kill the series and let trannies wear its as a skin suit.

Where do you even go from Strive? Make it dumber? Seems hard. Make it one iota more technical? Congrats that's Xrd. Seems like they painted themselves in a corner.

guilty gear 5 will be a freemium hero shooter

Make it one iota more technical? Congrats that's Xrd.

there are a lot of possible iotas between strive and xrd, they're not very close together
but really they'll probably go back to doing big IPs for a bit then reboot Blazblue similarly instead of another GG

you joke but wasn't Guilty Gear 2 like a moba

GG 5 is going to be a 1 button fighter

they clearly dont know what to do. nobody would be able to tell desu.
strive itself was lightning in a bottle and had great luck.
they did the right thing by implementing rollback well and then got to cash in while the whole world locked down and nobody was allowed to leave their houses. they cant repeat that and who knows if their brand momentum is strong enough to lead into a big successful sequel.

Yea I was thinking "oh yeah 2.5D Blazblue" because that's probably a guarantee but yawn

hello WHO? release ze new virus so people would be stuck in home and have to play Strive 2

if they really wanted to surprise people they could bring back Battle Fantasia, but Blazblue is guaranteed to sell at least a couple million copies basically no matter what they do to it so that's the most likely next thing

even that wouldnt be as effective because all fighters have functional rollback now. even SNK shit.

They fucked up the gameplay and fucked up the matchmaking right alongside it in season 2. Shit felt like trying to do public matchmaking in a game where all the players are discord dwellers that only use the lobbies and hate matchmaking. God fucking awful.
Can't really consider 200 players worldwide on a good day a genocide. Especially when like 50 of those people moved to strive because they infact liked it.
You fucking dumbass Tekken 8 is like if they gave EVERY single character strive slayer damage in Xrd then introduced an entirely new mechanic that gave everyone this pace ruining universal install entering, plus on block armored move that let combos be twice as long minimum. Then in this new universal install mode you get the ability to make moves that were negative safe or plus meter less, the ability to make all the defense options useless, and a fucking cutscene move that does a 3rd of your health or more when press the same button that you used to enter this godforsaken install mode.

Itt: Recolors that go hard

tekken faggots are melodramatic and dont understand that games like GG and SF got raped way harder.

idk but they should continue on making GG look even more prettier.

not that one

we'll never get another game with team blue sprites

You think we are being melodramatic because you genuinely have zero fucking clue.

Like I think this was the closest to explaining it to SF players but even then I am still not sure.

tekken players generally don't play other games
if you look at those graphs people make of cross bracket entries in tournaments the tekken circle barely has more connections than the smash one most of the time

This, look at all the big tekken creators trying to branch out, every single time without fail they always think it's worse than Tekken

yeah that image is gay and retarded and made by someone who probably doesnt play either series.
you cant even confirm lows in street fighter anymore.

what the fuck?

wow its almost like capcom nerfing jump cancel moves because people figured out a way to deal with throwloop faggotry.

those changelogs of nu fightans are so funny

for me its daimon, sick of everyone picking him

I hate bandai namco so goddamn much man. Already uninstalled and moved onto another game but I'm still mad when I think about it.

not that one

t. color 19 sissy

Timer runs out as Grant is landing the combo that would give him the win

Absolute kino

My favorite one is from the hotfix patch notes where it said "advantage on block nerfed from +26f to +4f"

It's kinda funny, you have some mild interest in a certain game, you're like, I wonder what the right time to strike is? Then Tekken 8 comes along and is like NOT NOW

do the planets have to fucking undergo cunjuction for you to play or something just pick up the game

tekken 7 is 10 years old. what are you on about?

you don't have to tell me the good news bro I play fighting games already, just not Tekken

I play fighting games already, just not Tekken

good for you lad carry on

wow sounds familiar picrel used to be +26

One thing I will always give nu-fighters credit for is training mode. That shit is so good now compared to the barren shit that used to be the norm.

dont tell him about cotw training mode

Just having record and basic frame data is still leagues above what there used to be.

I'M GONNA LAAAAAAAAAAAB!
