>Street Fighter V releasing for PS4/PC in February
>Killer Instinct Season 3 releasing for XB1/PC in March
How do you see that dynamic playing out? Which game are you looking forward to?
I have mkx I'm going to get Killer Instinct soon and Street Fighter V I am going to have fun
>>320687179
Wasn't MKX a hot mess on PC?
Glad I'm a PC player who gets to have both.
I've played a bit of KI on my friend's Xbone, shit's pretty damn good.
>>320687547
The PC release will be my first real exposure to this KI game. What am I in for?
Killer Instinct is only going to survive because it's F2P.
SFV will remain popular forever.
I will play both, along with GG Xrd and hopefully down the line Tekken 7.
>>320686563
>was actually going to install windows just for SFV
>thought okay, I'll install Windows 10 because KI as well
>SFV coming out for loonix
>no need to install botnet
Thank you based Capcom. Eat a dick Microsoft
>>320687665
Imagine MK design and movement with SF Alpha-style combat.
There's a whole lot of combos and definitely some cheese on certain characters, but for the most part it's pretty balanced and entertaining at all levels. TJ Combo is my husbando.
>>320687283
Yep, one of many garbage ports released in the last couple years.
>>320687839
>Imagine MK design and movement with SF Alpha-style combat.
I don't follow.
I'm looking forward to S3 a bit more, but SFV will definitely be the more popular one
>>320686563
Neither, the cowards making SF5 censored it and KI would require me to install Windows NSA or buy an Xbone, neither of which I will ever do.
>>320686563
Looking forward to SFV more becauseI dont need W10 to run it
KI is fucking dope though, it's the most niche game ever, it's pretty much a western anime fighter
>>320687959
The characters move around the screen with physics reminiscent of MK9/X and have a visual design like MK, but the combat itself is "hold back to block with multiple meters and lots of canceling".
>>320687774
KI has crossplay too, which'll probably play a part in determining whether or not it dies off on PC or not.You'd think it was still an Xbone exclusive, judging from the way people have been flipping out over it being tied to the W10 store
>>320688123
>mfw rocket knee reset doesn't work anymore
>>320687959
He means they're more loosey-goosey with the combos, and sometimes characters use "tap" movements for special moves instead of permutations of circular movements.
shame KI will likely be Win10 store-exclusive, meaning it'll be DOA in regards to PC playerbase
>>320686563
I'll play Xrd and SFV primarily, though KI really interests me. They say it's actually a solid fighting game and only looks like its hot garbage like MKX. I'm going to try it out, I mean if Jap pros like Domi play it, it should be alright
>>320688203
It's tied to W10?
Looks like I'm not playing it then. That's too bad.
>>320688203
Sea of Thieves
Gigantic
and Fable Legends
are all going to also be on Windows 10, but no one likes Windows 10
>>320688123
>western anime fighter
Holy shit, everything suddenly makes sense.
Don't give a shit about KI. Hype for SFV.
>>320688240
yeah it's fucked, I like nash a lot but he is pretty much trashed
I also feel bad for ryu players
>>320688326
Yep, Windows 10 store exclusive.
>>320688325
KI looks fine, its only Orchid that's really ugly
>>320688368
To be fair he was actually borderline broken before. You could play so fucking brain dead and he was so safe. I only got to play for half a day in the last day of Beta 2 and I got into the top 100 ranks.
I do hope they make his TC1 safe again, there are still some cool resets with the rocket knee but they require meter spendage.
Patiently waiting for Tekken 7.
Somebody I work with is in the SF5 beta. I might go over and play this weekend even though I dont know much about the system. I wanna learn some M. Bison basics. He looks like a character I would like.
>>320688552
I havent played the first beta but yeah I heard he was really good before
>>320688426
I meant mechanics wise and gameplay wise. The graphics are OK, I understand it's a western fighting game. I tried MKX and that shit is all over the place, the pressure is insane as there is little to no pushback on strings, and everything is mixup city
>>320688334
Gears too
>>320688686
I'm waiting for the PC announcement
KI. Fuck Street Fighter.
>>320688686
>Somebody I work with is in the SF5 beta
man, what an exclusive group he's in
>>320688792
i like how they've gone completely radio-silent on that after the initial announcement
Killer instinct is more satisfying to play, so that.
SFV since I won't have to upgrade to Windows 10 to use it. Plus I'm uncertain if they'll support Sony sticks.
i had one go on killer instinct, about 15 minutes and i was certain it was the coolest shit i ever played
KI is tied to W10 so I will not be playing it.
I'll play SFV and probably pick up Xrd during winter sale since I missed the initial release.
And maybe Blazblue Extend when that comes out for Steam.
>>320688901
>what is joy2key
>>320688792
Why are they trying to push 10 so hard?
SF is becoming a meme fighter so neither
>>320688901
You can make any controller work on pc with little effort.
>>320686563
I'm a street fighter noob with just a ps4 controller, can i even git gud, i was pretty good in mkx with a controller if that means anything
>>320689024
It's part of the overall Microsoft marketing. Windows 10 will be the new standard for Microsoft OS, to the point the XB1 will be running W10. Never mind that it's a new OS overall, but they're pushing it as "the gamer's OS."
>>320689119
>still no Casio Loopy adapter in 2015
>>320689024
Because Microsoft is a software company.
>>320689024
so they can make mad analytics money from marks
>>320689024
Because they can.
It's about getting rid of the old so they can force new shit. Also, Halo 2 for PC started off Vista exclusive, but within a month there was a fanpatch to let it run on XP.
>>320689024
Its their new os, are you dense or something
>>320689143
Luffy won EVO 2014 with a PS1 controller.
>>320686563
Alright lemme drop it down low for you.
SF5 will be good and more active than Killer Instinct on PC. Do you know why? Because Killer Instinct is confined to Windows 10 and no one in their right minds wants to use that shit OS.
>>320689159
Well, it's the only thing where they don't have any competition
As far as I can tell Offices start to prefer Mac/OSX while Universities like using linux distros
>>320689328
At least it was better than 8
>>320689159
>XB1 will be running W10
i thought they already did that.
>>320689238
i have no idea if people have undid the encryption MS uses on its store apps, so I have no idea how quickly an "old OS" fan patch can get out there, if ever.
>>320688240
>>320688368
You can still sort of do a bazooka reset, but you need to do it after doing like a forward V-Trigger. Not as good, but nice to mix in with a LK scythe when you don't want to use EX scythe or CA.
As for the thread topic, gonna try to go hard on SFV. I'd play KI, but like people said, I don't want to go to Windows 10.
>>320689481
You're quite right, the Xbone had a big software update about a month ago that brought over W10.
>>320689482
forward V-trigger, j.HK juggle I meant*
>>320689578
I see, I'll keep that in mind
Every fighting game going to PC except Tekken, the one I actually play fuuuuuuuck
I look forward to Tekken 7
Even though 6 made me lose interest and TT2 confirmed best girl to be a coalburner
>>320689875
I will continue to say "stay tuned" in that regard, because China.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JapDyUwAu8
>>320688857
Well theres not much to announce until the service released in march or so. Its just Gears 1.
>>320686563
I'm looking forward to KI a lot. From what I've seen it looks like it could be a good game or it could be complete horseshit, but I'll figure that out once I get to play it. I would be happy in the fact that there is a western fighting game that doesn't suck ass.
If not well I still have Xrd with Revelator releasing probably a month after. Jack O I'm looking forward to finally sit down and learn a sub despite Guilty Gear being my most played fighter to which I only know my main and that's it. Also SFV of course even though each time I play it, it seems less fun then the last beta. Still liking it though despite that and glad to have Alex coming back on top of having Charlie back to what probably will become my favorite character to play in SF despite making him an edge lord. Other then that? We have Tekken 7 and KoF14 to look forward to so hey chances are I'll probably have something to play outside of Xrd. 2016 will keep a fighting game fan busy to say the least.
>>320689094
its always been a meme fighter
>>320690235
>KoF14
Not that graphics are that important but considering how good the other games looked like, this is almost insulting
>>320686563
I'm not a fan of street fighter, and killer instinct will probably required to be installed via the Windows Store, which no one here will like.
I just hope iron galaxy learned a thing or two from the batman port. Hopefully microsoft studios won't let this one be a travesty.
>>320690910
I know, but that's been a topic beaten to death already by now. I'm just hoping that the gameplay still stands and forget about how much shittier it looks in comparison to SNK's 2D spritework.Like that would happen
>>320691134
Killer Instinct is Iron Galaxy's game. Arkham was not Iron Galaxy's game. I think they'll have an easier time with this one.
>>320691242
Yeah I know,technically double helix's firstbut you can't help but worry a bit.
Also I can definitely see Killer Instinct as a UW application, making it a shoe in for the built in store.
>>320688857
Wasn't meant to be bragging or anything. Just that I otherwise would not be playing it because I dont preorder shit.
>>320689005
Again Windows 10
>>320686563
Does KI have Xbone/PC crossplay?
>>320693967
I'll be crossbuy and crossplay
>>320693967
Crossplay and crossbuy with the Xbone version, but it's a Win10 exclusive.
I'm really hoping against hope, but Microsoft, or the powers that be, will see that a lot of people aren't wanting to switch to Windows 10. And because of this, they eventually will make the games that require Windows 10 available for other OS's.
Again, more than likely not going to happen, but a man can dream, right?
On topic, I'd really like to play the PC version of KI more than anything. It's been by favorite game to play on the Xbone.I'm the only person I know who really plays this game.
