fighting game thread

Thread: fighting game thread
i play everything if it's fun and i enjoy them all
my favorite would have to be 3d fighters in the same vein as tekken, combo/anime fighers in the same vein as MVC and guilty gear, and platform fighters
i have a soft spot for street fighter though, i dont play it often but when i do i enjoy it greatly

Also, crucify me if you want but personally i think the ideal controller for a fighting game is a keyboard. outside of circular motions it's pretty much faster than a controller or an arcade stick when it comes to executing specials and moves, and it's cheap too.

If we are measuring purely performance then mouse and keyboard is probably objectively superior in almost every genre. It's very strange considering they weren't originally conceived with gaming in mind.

Gaming was initially built around keyboard so it makes sense
arcade stick feels awkward and controller is comfortable but not ideal for higher level play

???

Mass consumption gaming was initially built around literal "arcade" machines i.e. mechanical games / fairground games. Knobs, levers, sticks, buttons, etc were a part of gaming before the keyboard. Pinball, for instance.

Arcade stick isn't for everyone, but I greatly prefer it to using a controller or keyboard for a simple reason: hand cramps. I can play on arcade sticks for hours and hours painlessly, practicing or competing. I use controllers and keyboards all the time, but they suffer from ergonomic issues. The standard 6-button arcade stick is ubiquitous across 1000s of games.

That said, keyboard fans would probably transition well to a Hitbox style controller if the arcade stick is too different

Honestly a new fighter coming out soon I would think that you'd have to wait for sf6. I really doubt there's going to be much else coming out this year. There is the other games like sf5 or tekken7 that are out and have active player bases not the best netcode though. There's also the recently released dnf duel thats a cheap 50 dollar game but really broken. Guess kofxv too but idk if that games gonna keep its online playerbase in the future.

I have been looking at dnf duel. I know it just released so matches should be easy to find. How is it broken? I am a massive casual. Is it broken at the top tier level or is it net code related?

I watched Max play it last night and I was digging the anime style.

Broken like a old school fighter but really fun from what I've heard the lost warrior guy has a tod, striker kinda has a infinite blockstring.


The netcode is really good though tbh you might think its more fun then the other games out atm their good but very formulaic with the exception of kofxv.

All the talk about arcade sticks here... I do like gamepads but the feeling of throwing a Sonic Boom with an arcade stick is magical. I can't explain why, but it hits differently.

its even more fun on a keyboard since all it is is a button.
 
Anyone remember Daraku Tenshi? Rare arcade only fighter, dark theme, people often talked about it in the early 2000's when fighting game forums and Kailera where still at hing. The game was said to be a major inspiration of the KOF series since 1999. Tons of unused/scrapped content (the cutting room floor has a good overview: https://tcrf.net/The_Fallen_Angels)

Anyway, there were plans for a complete version including new characters (probably adding the 4 scrapped characters that had at least some sprites made would have been a start) and balance adjustments. This was announced May 2019.

Street fighter 2 (warrior, champion and turbo) and MK2 will always have a special place in my heart. Its purely driven by nostalgia, but that is enough for me :)

I believe that's just the international name used to market this game. Depending on the region it's called "Daraku Tenshi" or "The Fallen Angels", promo material usually has both titles written on it.

that makes sense though I'd say that when I played the game I wasn't too impressed with it at least thats my opinion on it.

That last SF6 trailer looked so goofy, imo.
Not sure that open world focus is what I'd want for the series.
But we will see.
 
Mortal Kombat 4 turns 25 today. It was the last entry in the series to release for the arcade.

Yeah this is just for low rents to fantasize about how this will be the thing that breaks the barrier and suddenly cause influx of people who otherwise wouldn't play fighting games, all the while glibly proclaiming how more options is a good thing.

The level of user control with this option is basically one step away from just letting the cpu fight for you. =S

I can imagine The r/fighters posts already. The big topic will be whether or not this should be banned. then they'll say Competitive play sf6 sucks the influencers lied to use but we'll keep watching them anyways etc etc.

Slowly warming up to SF6 right now, watching youtube videos about it.
The actual fighting looks quite nice.
What I don't like so far is that goofy open world stuff, and Jamie's character design. It's just generic Drunken Master in young. They didn't even do anything with his braid.

Anyway, will probably buy full price and play a lot
