Anyone know any decent fighting games for the PC?
Tryna broaden my collection a little bit, currently have played/own the following
- Street fighter 4
- Mortal kombat 9/10
- Skull girls
- Brawlhalla
Please excuse the horrible formatting of this post, first time typing out a list
>>322349269
Guilty Gear Xrd is great and you should get it.
KoFXIII
>>322349370
Ill check it out now, thanks anon, is it similar to any of the games I have listed?
>>322349418
>KoFXIII
Holy crap anon, thanks, that looks exactly like the kind of thing i''m looking for
>>322349421
>doesn't know about Guilty Gear
You're not really into fighting games, are you?
>>322349583
Quite new to the scene, won't lie.
>>322349421
It's most similar to Skull Girls
>>322349748
Checking out some videos on it now, really like the art style and animations, one thing i didn't like about skull girls however was using more than one fighter, so hopefully that isn't in this game
>>322349834
That is the reason I couldn't game into KoF neither, fuck using multiple fighters.
Xrd is with one fighter only. I am learning it too. Give me your Steamx we will learn together OP :)
>>322349834
Guilty Gear doesn't have assists/multiple fighters luckily.
>>322349938
Awesome! it may take a while for me to actually be able to buy the game, poor as shit, but add me anyway, ill get it at some point :D

>>322349975
Sweet, I've never understood the appeal of multiple fighters :P
Why do you need so many fightan? You already got gud at Street Fighter?
>>322350086
Honestly, not many people seem to be playing, the people that are are god tier in comparison, and i know SF5 is around the corner, being a student such as myself without a job, i highly doubt id be able to join SF5 without getting really lucky, so i'm tryna broaden out a little bit, I'm really not into charge fighters either, aha.

Pic related is pretty good.
Melty Blood Actress Again. It's coming to steam this year
>>322350335
Oh god, where can i find this? got a link? doesn't even come up on my steam.
>>322350418
It's an old game from 2008 from a quick google search.
>>322349269
>Anyone know any decent fighting games for the PC?
There's emulated netplay for practically every arcade fighting game made before 2003
>>322350418

There you go. The main link is down but the mirror seems to be working.
>>322350323
>1.4 hours in USF4
Not sure if OP or bait. Either way you best not be talking like you know a game from 1 hour of gameplay.
>>322350561
>Born in 98'
>Only started fighters midway through last year
>>322350643
Nope, not bait, i suck at it :P
Played brawlhalla the most probably, followed by MK
>>322350043
It's to give more flexibility in long ass combos and it also allows devs to make characters way more unbalanced in one way or another because if character X can never beat character Y the player playing X can always just put Z on their team to cover their weakness.
>>322350696
>born in 98
>is missing out on fantastic games like Vsav, Third Strike, Garou and Samsho
>>322350643
Wait no, I have 26 hours clocked, i played 1.4 hours this week xD
>>322350203
SFIV is the most popular fightan on Steam, if you think the population is bad the rest is much worse. GGXrd is an exception because it's very new and still has new blood, but that probably won't last long.
>>322349269
Used to play Vanguard Princess back when it was free...probably 2013 or so.
Remember having a lot of fun with it. It was essentially Skull Girls before Skull Girls.
Also, the Melty Blood games are fun.
Something's been bugging me recently.
There's a shiton of doujin or not fightan on PC made by japanese, but I have trouble finding indie fightan from occidentals.
If you have some links to share, it'll be great
>>322350871
Possibly because my BP is like, 0 - 100.
Probably makes a difference but yeah, i suck at that game and i cant fork out for a fighting pad or commit to learning charge fighters, as i don't understand them well enough and get salty
>>322349269
KI will be on Windows in March
>>322350836
Which emulated fighters are popular online? besides smash, which I have played
>>322350836
>tfw the only thing i was looking forward to in 1998 was playing WWF War Zone on the n64
>tfw it's a completely shit game
>>322351000
Trips don't lie,
I am going to check that game out when its out, just need something to play right now and hopefully get really into
>>322351052
3S with GGPO?
>>322350882
post more VP sprites pls.
Especially the lewder ones.
>>322350847
26 hours is nothing.
>>322351212
>>322351343
Yeah, I know, i can't find lobbies, and when i do i just get crushed :P
>>322350323
done

>>322350985
>fighting pad
dont you have a psx/ps2/ps3 pad? there are programs out there to make them work with pc and if ps2/ps3 you can emulate it as a 360 pad so it plays perfectly.
>>322351390
what region are you? i can show you some basic stuff to at least have a winning chance so you might get some motivation back.
>>322349269
Rising Thunder is still being worked on and the alpha is a free download. The community is probably pretty dead right now since the hype died down.
>>322351553
I play on a 360 pad, broke my ps3 pad by dropping it (i say dropping, i threw it while on DS and it broke xD) I am from UK, i would appreciate the help actually :)
>>322350985
>>322351052
Considering that you don't even have the patience to acquire an average players number of player points I think you'd be better off hunkering down and gitting gud and learning properly than dumping money on more games.
As for emulated games there's always people about on fightcade and such so finding players for old school stuff isn't hard, hell sometimes you'll run into folks who will show you the ropes much like the occasional lobby in USFIV.
I'd say go look into some fighting game basics and focus on stepping up your fundamentals and learning the right way instead of going headstrong into multiple games that all have different approaches.
>>322351520
>>322351652
I understand what you're saying, however i am searching to find fighters with mechanics i am more comfortable with, for example MK has button combos whereas street fighter is analogue combos ( X Y X on MK// Half-circle punch on SF4)
>>322350374
Source that shit. Any word on netplay? My years of solo training my Tohno and Arc are about to finally pay off.
>>322349269
Guilty Gear Xrd is the best fighting game on PC currently
>>322351765
>>322351563
Checking it out right now, thank you :)
>>322351852
>>322351816
they announced it last month at the same time they announced xrd. fukken google it. and netplay is pretty much expected of any fighting game coming out nowadays
>>322351637
keep in mind 360 is the absolute worst controller for fighters unless you mod it heavily or play with analog only.
adding you now. more from the steam chat.
USF4 is still very active, good entry level fighting game.
That and with sf5 coming out soon, give you some fundamentals that carry over.
>>322351797
Special move inputs and combo strings are not the same thing.
SF has link combos, and some target combos, so knowing the timing between linking a normal attack into another normal attack is where knowledge of combo building lies.MK uses pre-made combo strings so finding unique ways to link strings together with special moves and such is how you go about building combos.
Few games use combo strings like MK so you're best bet would be something like Injustice.
>>322350981
If you're talking western stuff indie fighting games are few and far between and sometimes they're non-traditional.
As far as western indie fighting games go the only ones that are complete that come to mind are Skullgirls, Nidhogg, DiveKick, and then garbage like Brawlhalla and Kings of Kung-Fu.
>>322352038
Hopefully they remember to make lobbies or allow connections via steam friends. DOA's PC port was finished off by the online mode lacking lobbies.
Ultra, the KoF ports, nearly every old SNK/Capcom game is on Fightcade, Yatagarasu, GG XX and Xrd.
You can also emulate most PS2 era fighters flawlessly with PCSX2 if you like those ones.
Obviously SFV is coming soon and there's rumours that Tekken 7 might get a PC release but I wouldnt put much faith in that.
>>322352437
Yeah, that's what i've gathered so far. Hoped to see some really hard to find game or whatnot
Download Fightcade and start playing Super Turbo desu
>>322352667
The non-traditional stuff like Lethal League and Nidhogg have proven to be the more fun stuff from what I've seen so far.
Running Xrd on a toaster here. I can actually get a pretty good 50-60 FPS but this only lasts for a few battles before it drops to 30. I heard it's a memory leak issue, is there a way around this besides resetting everytime? I heard unplugging the controller works for some people, but I tried playing without a controller and just a keyboard and it eventually turned to shit FPS anyway.
>>322349834
>>322349938
>missing out on one of the most fun fighting games because learning 3 characters is too hard
Don't deny yourself this. The KOF games are really fucking good
>>322349269
if you want to play some older fighting games online try FIGHTCADE. There's plenty of arcade fighters that you can emulate and play online.
Guilty Gear and Blaz Blue(or any Arc System games for that matter) should be on that list.
>>322351852
>>322351765
>>322351520
>>322351428
>>322351349
Thanks based anon
>>322353136
Yeah, especially the last ones where when you hit the opponent, it becomes a rythm game until you win
Guilty Gear Xrd is a must. Community is still fairly active on 4chan.
Also, you can also download Fightcade and try out Third Strike. Although you won't be able to learn online against strangers.
>>322354445
>3rd strike
>Xrd
I knew one guy like you.
>>322354140
OP has a day's worth of play in USFIV and people here expect him to dive into anime games and learn the harsh reality of being corner juggled for days.
3rd strike on fightcade
the service is actually better than 3SOE on the console. There's less lag, instant load times, open text-chat support, and it offers a player browser to challenge specific players. Best of all, it's free
Third Strike won't teach you any fundamentals and is the biggest meme game around, ST will give you all the tools you need to learn any fighting game.
>>322350882
The Japanese version never stopped being freeware...
>>322354885
Chariot you say a lot of dumb shit but I guess a broken clock is right twice a day.
>>322354140
I never understood this complaint from you shitters. If you get juggled, news flash, it's your own damn fault. There are a couple of tools that can keep you safe from it happening but then again you are too much of a shitter to admit that you get outplayed a lot so you tend to blame the game instead. Stay free
>>322355738
So you're implying that Marvel isn't bad.
>>322356920
Marvel's fun.
>>322356920
Am I talking about Marvel here? How about you follow a conversation first? And if you are the same person i've replied to, then may god have mercy on your soul
>>322349269
One must fall
>>322357185
If you get juggled in Marvel it's your own fault too desu.
Hell, if you get hit with an infinite it's your own fault, you should just nut up and take it.
>>322354140
>> implying that you or any in this thread play at a level in which you can dish out the damage out of a single hit in the middle of a real match.
Training mode is not a real match, anon
>>322355738
People just don't like long combos it seems.
But pretty much every contemporary fighter has them and it doesn't seem like it's going anywhere anytime soon.
>>322357528
Yes, because KOF and Marvel have the same mechanics. Here's your reply.
>>322357623
I think the reason why they hate long combos is they themselves can't do them since it requires practice. I bet they'd even complain about easy, BnB combos. I'd understand if the long combos were easy to do but most of the optimal, most damaging combos aren't that easy to do which in turn makes most of /v/ break into a sweat
>>322358280
If you have shorter but still damaging combos then you get a way more tense and interesting neutral game.
I'm not a fan of long combos, the only reason I've understood that people have said is that it gives more room for mixups and making a combo really feel like it's "yours," in games with longer combos you can more easily forgo damage optimisation for positioning or setups than in something with smaller combos.
I really don't understand it besides the reasons above or unless you wanna stroke yourself off to a hit counter, personally I value a more dangerous and damaging neutral over those reasons though.
>>322358280
>le combo execution is harder than reading opponent meme
>>322355738
Idea that you can have absolute perfect defense in fighting game so you never get hit at all is ridiculous.
People of all skill levels make mistakes, wrong reads or take risks that don't pay off, that's just the nature of the game.
"lol git gut and don't get hit" -argument is so ridiculous that it's basically shitposting.
>>322359357
where have I mentioned it's harder than reading opponents? why are you pulling something in here that belongs into an entirely different discussion?
>>322359657
Because long-ass combos requires little to no opponent reading?
>>322359615
It's true, nobody is perfect but some of these guys go to lengths to instead of blaming themselves, they blame the game and the game only for their shortcomings most of the time
>>322359852
yes it does, for the setup but doing them doesnt
>>322359868
Well, you are on /v/, after all.
Might as well just post THOSE screencaps that never stop being true
>>322359117
I guess i'm just the type of guy who can learn to live with it. When I learn/play a fighting game, I don't go looking for problems. I accept what this fighting game has to offer and I just roll with it. Instead of complaining endlessly.
>>322358280
I'm sure /v/ will find any excuse to avoid blaming themselves for a mistake in a fighter but personally I can't say I care for really long combos myself. I'd rather have more damage and shorter optimal combos than corner carrying for days but both take skill and it's more of a personal preference and an issue from game to game than an issue with the genre as a whole.
>>322360181
Why did I bother
>>322359995
>You make one mistake, you lose
>fun
I'd rather play rock paper scissor in this case. At least, when you make a mistake, you get tot play 2 seconds after.
>>322360371
Sorry but I don't let a video game aggravate me because of some contrived mechanic that somehow rubs you the wrong way. You'll only get tired fighting against the stream.
>>322360461
>I hate games that punish me for making mistakes
You really like it easy don't you?
>>322360968
>implying waiting 40 seconds and waiting 3 seconds is the same shit
>>322360968
Man just play divekick then if that's all you want in a game.
Fuck even divekick plays first to 5.
>>322360838
I don't even hate games with long combos, if the game's good enough then I'll play it but I much prefer shorter, more damaging combos.
I provided my reasons why I prefer it and you just responded with
>hurr u mad
What did I expect though, it's fucking /v/.
>>322360371
Good thing I don't even forget about the optimal damage since the first thing I learn, are my buttons and how far they reach, my anti airs and then my combos. I don't do combos for the sake of them, And i'm talking about KOF here, not SF and not Marvel. My hop game carried over nicely since its the same in any KOF game
>>322361363
Why do you assume that short combos are more damaging than long combos? And I'm talking about KOF13 here since that is how this conversation all started.
>too good to play with casuals, end up stomping them unless I play like a retard
>too bad to play with pros, I never memorize the controls
JUST
>>322361417
KOF doesn't have long combos though, it's typically normal xx command normal xx special/SDM
Or if you get fancy you might get a launcher into another special.
Unless you're talking about XIII's trash.
>>322361579
because shorter, more damaging doesn't refer to total damage, rather to the individual moves that make up the combo.
>>322361363
and fyi, I also provided reasons why I don't let fighting games annoy me as much as some ppl here and you responded with:
>lol you so stupid why did I even bother
and dont forget the saucy but quirky reaction image, kinda ironic its Pat of all people
>>322361667
Clearly, the only logical solution is to beat up bad players and watch them rage.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0WetHkYVtw
>>322361793
>XIII's trash
there you go
>>322361667
Become online warrior then? Teach the casuals that are willing to learn? Acquire skill and keep up with the good players?
Many options, you have.
What's /v/'s favorite dead game?
>>322361809
I'm trying to discuss fighting game systems and why some people prefer one style of combo over another, not why you are content to play any game.
>>322361881
NEVER gets old
>>322362043
the length of XIII's combos isn't even it's main problem, it's the fucking damage.
I don't think I'm in the minority when I say that a game shouldn't have 100% combos ever.
Although some HD combos are also really fucking boring to watch with all the looping, hopefully XIV's MAX mode scales it back a bit.
>>322362190
>>322349269
Yo senpai, you type lists with
>
And you dont have to register a name for yourself, putting your name as OP doesn't change anything
>>322350335
Is this a Pretty Cure game?
>>322362193
>some people prefer one style of combo over another
please, this is /v/, they don't have any style whatsoever. All they do is complain about something they think they have no control over but in reality have more control over than they think but would rather take the easy way and whine instead of actually practicing. There's a reason why when a fighting game thread is made, /v/ resorts to waifu circlejerk faggotery instead of actually discussing the game and mechanics, setting up lobbies and shit.
>Meme fighters
Shit taste
>>322362391
>Never
>Stoped watching after 2 minutes
You must not get alot of entertainment i assume.
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core + R is easily one of the best fighting games on PC.
KoF 2002 Ultimate Match and KoF XIII are also worth checking out.
Now, if you're comfortable with not buying stuff there is a program called fightcade which is an emulator that is used for netplay, so basically the only way to play old games with other people.
If you choose to check that out I recommend Street Fighter 3 Third Strike, Vampire Savior, Last Blade 2, Samurai Shodown 2, and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
>>322350981
Yatagarasu
>>322349269
>no GG XRD
>no KOF13
C'mon son what are you doing?
>>322362463
Yeah but it's not that extreme that it completely ruins the experience. The only actual char that has 100% combos that are boring to watch is Ash. And his isn't exactly easy to do or requires little meter?
>>322349980
How about we just filter you instead you filthy fucking casual
>>322362747
>/v/ is terrible they have no right to discuss mechanics and x, y, z
>attempt a debate about combo length and damage
>lol you're just a baddie
This place gets worse by the day.
>>322363301
No 100% ever, especially not by design.
XIII can't pull the "it's old so it was harder to balance back then" card like other games can.
Personally I think that if you burn absolutely EVERY resource you have then at most you should get like 70% damage.
XIII also gutted movelists to hell and is generally less fun to play than the older games.
>>322363382
>they have no right to discuss mechanics
wrong, they just don't discuss mechanics, big difference, they all like to sell themselves short, because they have nothing to lose but they don't stop coming into fighting game threads.
Also you might want to ease up on the greentexting, friendo, and get off your high horse while you are at it
>>322363362
>muh let's blacklist people because they're not a huge faggot like I am
Kill yourself
>>322363862
Everything you said just now is subjective
>>322364028
Gutted movelists is not subjective but yes, combo preference IS subjective, almost as if I said that in my original post.
>>322363889
That wasn't me btw but keep dodging the actual fucking discussion of short combos vs long combos and why people prefer one over the other.
