Found this interesting, especially in the light of 2XKO that a lot of professionals who play anime fighters go industry. Also seems specific that anime players go industry, wonder if there are any from the SF side of things that go industry as well.

Side note: I need to watch more LK, he's an interesting man with a lotta history attached to him.

I was thinking KI is gonna be pretty huge and MS is gonna go all in with marketing lol. It was also during the time Capcom fumbled big time with SF5 people doubted SF6 will even be a thing.

And here we are today almost a decade after and KI as an IP is pretty much dead, it’s pretty sad how much they failed to capitalize on this.

I have been working on this guy's model for about 2 months, and now got to actually animate him.

It's a great way to start to recognize concepts in a low-stress environment

I'm genuinely confused on what to do anymore. I just cant improve at all. Feels like I know everything and nothing at the same time. Can anyone relate? (The game im talking about is GGST in the title.)

Hi, I'm 23M and Im looking for someone in europe to casually play and learn either 2XKO or Avatar.

Not sure if I can ask this here, but basically, most modern Yakuza games have VF5 as a minigame, and one of its related achievements is to clear all stages, which also includes the fight against V-Dural.

Some guides suggested that Vanessa is the best pick for this due to her opponents mostly taking her Back-Kick-Kick attack, but I'm not sure how to execute it.

In case you need a reference, I'm playing on PS4, with the Yakuza games I know having VF5 being Judge Eyes, Lost Judgment and Yakuza 7.

Hi everyone!

I'm developing a dark fantasy, weapon-based fighter! It features aggressive but slower-paced, neutral heavy combat, and important system mechanics like weapon clashing.

I have a solid prototype of the game built and playtested throughout the year. While there are still a few bugs to iron out, it also features rollback netcode. Feel free to check out the video of the prototype!

The prototype was built with kit reworks of characters from the 1995 fighter Weaponlord.

I am currently looking for 2D artists interested in joining a team to create the original characters, stages, etc. If that sounds like you, please feel free to reach out!

More info for artists: https://www.reddit.com/r/INAT/comments/1x3jk92/revshare_dark_fantasy_weaponbased_fighting_game/

Either way, feel more than welcome to share :) More than happy to answer any questions!

I know theres different ground techs and some strong defensive mechanics but from everything ive watched and the little ive played i really cant get a read on how oki and pressure work in this game?
If someone could give me a rundown that would be nice.

i got guilty gear strive and a season pass yesterday cuz it looked cool and fun and shit but like, two days in and ive lost all hope. same thing happened with MK11 and Ki ultamate. theres just so much stuff and its all so daunting and the fun characters seem so hard to play and ranked seems so impossible. what the hell do i do :(

Hi,

I search a 2D fighting game to play with my friend who never really play this sort of game, and don't really want to put many time and effort to enjoys it.
I'm quite skill on street fighter 2x so when I try some random fighting game with him, he was pretty discourage because he couldn't do anything against me, and struggle to just do some basic thing like DP or even hado like tech. We're also pretty poor and only have old pc, so recent game is a no go for us.
So this is all the element I look at:
- a game you could play in a really old computer.
- a game where you can play online, no need an active community, because I just want to play with him
- a game with no skilled timing to do things like combo or special move or reversal. No long combo chain is something I would like to, like SF2X where a 2 hit combo + a special move is all you need to do make good damage, but a game with timing a bit easier than SF2X that could be a bit to precise for him. A 360 throw that would just require a simple press button would be an heresy for me, but it would fit him more for example.
- so it would be a game more based on the mind game, just have the reflex to hit confirm thing, footsie, neutral game, with a diverse cast with really different style of character, and no need to be balanced at all.

I already play smash bros with him, but for me it was a bit bland. Without glitches and thing like that, it seems to me that there not so much thing to do with this game in a casually setting.

This year saw the release of 2 of the biggest fighting games in the last few years with 2XKO and Marvel Tokon. Both of these have come out to a pretty middling or even negative reception. While I am hoping Marvel Tokon can turn it around as I love a lot about that game 2XKO is going into maintenance mode soon and is largely considered a flop. Along with these 2 there were 2 mid level fighting games with Avatar and Invincible VS while Avatar seems fairly successful for how small of a game it is Invincible VS seems to have been a flop as well.

Seeing this year and all of these games that I was relatively excited for release with big issues and to a not very positive reception it has made me wonder what do you guys think is next for fighting games? What games are you guys most excited for and what games do you think could tear you away from the big 3 which seems to still be GGST, SF6 and Tekken 8? It's also made me wonder do you guys think any tag fighter can hit the level of Dragonball Fighterz again? Lastly what do you think is missing in the fighting game space that is not currently served by the big 3?

Overall I am a little worried about future investment into fighting games with how badly the bigger releases have gone this year. It also is not comforting that even the biggest fighting game SF6 seems to not be getting the level of support you would expect. On the contrary though as long as there is a player base there will be new games for the genre.
