It's in Japanese, so you will need to enable your browser's translator if need be. Pretty interesting announcement, more ArcSys fighting games will always have my interest. lol

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.

This moment at the EVO France. Punk vs Kachikawa , losers final, 2-2. The tension is at its peak, and they smile together like two friends. And the ending of their match is just beautiful.

I love the FGC

I've always been a stream monster when it came to fighting games, never a player. But after getting completely burnt out on team games and dealing with teammates who refuse to take accountability ("where's my heals??"), I needed a change. I saw a video talking about how in the FGC, every loss is strictly on you to adapt and overcome, and that mindset hooked me.

I bounced off 2XKO (good, just not for me) and Granblue (looks sick, but I suck at anime fighters lol) before landing on SF6. That was the hit I needed. I grinded Kimberly all the way to Plat 5 and recently started messing around with Tekken 8. Between upgrading my controllers and meeting awesome people, I'm loving the community so far. Only bummer is having no locals around me—looks like I might have to be the one to start a meetup if I want offline sets!

How he works differently as the Regular Ragna is insane

Instead, he has Belial Edge INSTEAD of Nightmare Edge

And he has a Dead Spike follow-up.

I see why he’s a secret boss.

But with some of my Terumi skills, I managed to get through the first round.

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.

OH NOEZ, Amingo lost his sombrero and he's BALD! One of his cactus babies is making fun of him for his bald head. Others were confused, and so was Tumblina—She's my OC who's simply a tumbleweed girl, and my self-insert for Amingo.

I added Ruby Heart and SonSon III from the same video game where Amingo was from, also I'm too lazy to draw them in my style, instead, I added artworks of them. Poor Ruby Heart, she's freaking out that the shiny baldness of Amingo burns her eyes. On the other hand, SonSon III was laughing so hard that the monkey burst to tears. Also, I don't play MvC2 that much because it has lots of violence in it and fighting games aren't my thing and I suck at playing fighting or combat games, I'm so sorry, it's, it's just my opinion. Please don't be mad and don't ever say that I played MvC2, okay?

Im working on a personal essay about the deeper differences between older fighting games and modern fighting on a nitty gritty level. I don’t mean broad stuff like patch notes and battle passes or the strive for balance, things like weird inputs, unlockable characters, combos working differently depending on who is getting combod/character specific combos, these aren’t things that are wholesale gone across the board but have drastically decreased in quantity.

I’m obsessed with the cracks and flaws of older fighting games, the changes made to accommodate busier people, the change from arcade to console. I want to analyze it as best I can without having lived through the era

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.

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.)

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.

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 :(

A few months back I got invincible vs, and now it is uninstalled and probably won’t ever be reinstalled. If I could get a refund I would but that’s not the point this thing is about. recently as you all know, Tokon just came out and I am a huge marvel guy. I am new to this genre but I want to learn because games like Tokon look so fun. My question is if I couldnt stand invincible, will Tokon be a waste of money.

i want to know this because invincible was actually bought by a relative of mine as a gift and I feel so bad about them spending 50 bucks in a game I barely played and won’t touch again, so I don’t want that to happen again.

Their are fundamental stuff in invincible that make the game feel clunky like the restrictions they put on all your moves, you know how you can only go to a higher move in a combo usually (medium attack can’t be followed by light). That with that stupid mechanic where someone can just hold the assist button and get a TOD, that’s so stupid. But I know that’s not in Tokon, my real concern is with really any fighting game, testing.

I watch streamers like Maxamillion and he streams his testing before he hops into matches and that part can take an hour plus. And I know with invincible I couldn’t stay in that testing range for 5 minutes because I got so bored. In my head I feel it has to do with the characters since half the roster have the exact same abilities so they have like 10 characters who’s specials are just punching in slightly different ways so I feel like that is a part of it but I don’t know. Tokon looks so fun and unlike invincible everyone looks cool and unique but I know if I can’t get in the practice range and stay to actually learn how to play, I’m going to get made and turn off the game forever. I just want to know if testing in Tokon may be able to hold my attention better and when taking into acount what I’ve said if it would be a dumb thing to buy Tokon or would it be fine? I thank you in advance and have a good day.
