How come we don't consider UFC/Boxing games as fighting games?
They balanced, have RPS mechanics. footsies, combos, a lifebar system and serve as a great alternative to those who do not want to have a lot of unrealistic flashy moves or super anime style graphics.
These games check most if not all the boxes of what is a fighting game yet are ignored
>>332082986
>They balanced
Nope
Played a shit ton of EA UFC online, Not balanced at all. Was a red belt and won 90% of my matches but it's not a fighting game because there is flash knockouts,The ground/sub game can be played like an absolute faggot (Just like real life) and a multitude of other things like fighters being imbalanced
>>332082986
>>332082986
random flash kos makes it very unbalanced.
honestly i probably would categorize it as some sort of 3D fighting game/sports sim
oh, and its not balanced
>>332084664
Don't get knocked the fuck out then faggot.
>>332083361
fuck off weeb :^)
Boxing/Wrestling/MMA games are not made with balance in mind.
It's in that category with most sports games where sports people really like them because they're trying to emulate the sports they're based on as much as possible but gamers tend to not really care for them because they're more concerned with emulating the sports they're based on than being good games.
Like if you wanted to design a good video game about two people fighting each other you'd never design it like a UFC video game. UFC games are designed the way they are not because it makes sense to design a game that way but because it's trying to copy the sport as much as it can. Not that it makes it an inherently bad game but it's more concerned with simulation than good game design.
I feel the same way about the Plastic Instrument rhythm games. If you were just designing a rhythm game you would never do it in the way those games do. They're more concerned with trying to be superficially like playing a guitar than a good rhythm game. Again, not that it makes them automatically bad, but trying to make it work sorta like a guitar is a limitation on making the best game they could.
I think that's why most of the time you don't see a huge cross-over between gamers(forgive the term) and people that play sport games, simulation racing/flight/train games etc. They have different priorities.
>>332083361
>game can be played like an absolute faggot (
So just like any other fighting game?
>>332086604
That was very well thought out anon. I enjoyed reading it and I think I agree with you.

>>332086604
Well said.
>>332086604
This is why I love games like Rhythm tengoku and Rhythm thief. Playing a music game where the ultimate goal is not to simulate playing an instrument is so much more refreshing
>>332087494
Got anymore Webbums?
>>332082986
Because they're franchise commercials for sportsgame normalfags.

>These games check most if not all the boxes of what is a fighting game
So does Super Smash Bros, but some people still don't consider them a fighting game.
FGC is pretty dumb.
I've had loads of fun with the undisputed demo, played that shit on my 360 so many times with a friend.
>>332082986
I think they are "fighting games", in the broad umbrella sense of the word. So is J-Stars Victory Vs, Gang Beasts, DB: Xenoverse, Digimon World Rumble, etc.
I think everyone who isn't a pedantic asshole (read: /v/) recognizes these are all "fighting games", but that doesn't make them all GOOD fighting games, or fighting games that have the aspects that appeal to the core audience. Which is why they get cast aside and forgotten.
>>332091376
it's pretty much just /v/ that has a hang-up with this concept. Nobody who actually plays Smash or other fighting games cares about the label because they know it's a fighter.
>>332086604
best post on /v/ and /thread
>>332086604
nice post
I used to play a shitty UFC
But it felt like a turn-based game which I like.
>>332091197
just of the real thing
>>332087494
dat hair tho
Might as well post this
>>332093113
People always get hit by that kick, is it really that hard to see when you're right in front of the guy?
>>332093161
wow shes really fucking cute
>>332093249
That kick rarely ever lands because of the ridiculous spin and travel time. You have to predict where your opponents head will be and catch them off guard for it to land, but it has a lot of power behind it so if it does land it's usually a ko/tko.
>>332083361
>The ground/sub game can be played like an absolute faggot (Just like real life)
I remember when playing the first UFC game, undisputed 09 I think, and I went from 0-9 to 54-11 in a couple of days because I started being a faggot on the ground. I would always play as Forrest Griffin and at the start of every match I would clinch and then pull them down into full guard. Then transition to rubber guard and from there they were usually fucked. I'd either submit them or end up in mount and fuck them up.
>>332092978
I fucking hate that shit. It's a low kick. Have your guard up.
I can understand doing that motion for a High kick but a low kick early will get countered every fucking time
>>332093860
That kick must have really hurt the nignog too though. Kicking someone's tibia that hard is awful, it hurts you almost as much as the other guy.
>>332093479
The one Uriah Hall landed on TUF was pretty sick.
Posting this here.

That's some fighting game shit right there
>>332094054
Kicks always wrap around and impact slightly farther than they appear to. The black guy's shin delivered force to the meat of the calf right there.
These games are shit for retards.
Kinda like MMA in general.
Why does everyone play this game all of a sudden?
It looks so fucking boring.
Even the Cr1tikal video wasn't very good.
>>332094272
For a second I thought it was a real example.
>>332094272

also UFC itself went downhill after they pick and mixed what was aloud after the real martial arts guys got banned for being able to do instant knockouts consistantly.
at least you can't juggle though, on topic. I know why people do it but its scrubby.
>>332094776

Are you talking about in real life or in vidya? Because if that's in real life I really really want to watch some videos about a monk knocking the fuck out some people

>>332096229
God damn that's fucking disgusting, makes me glad I dropped kick boxing.
matches take too long compared to other fighting games.
So how buggy is the newest UFC?
I'd buy it real fast if it had some grade A physic-based bugs.

Glorious.

How do you get someone to bleed that much but still kick your ass
>>332097778
its just blood faggot.
it could be a tiny cut but the blood flow makes it bleed more.
>>332097778
fight someone with an iron chin
>>332097661
That's why it was so good.
>>332097778
bleeding doesn't really stop until its treated. It probably started quite some time before the webm.
>>332097876
It's just blood but he can't see shit and has to fight with the feel of blood all over his face and body
>>332097778
The Diaz brothers are zombie-like fighters, Diaz is a great grappler and McGregor fucked up. Diaz capitalized on it.
>>332097661

>How come we don't consider UFC/Boxing games as fighting games?
They don't?
>>332098061
As someone who has bled during sparring a few times, you don't honestly even notice it.
>>332084664
>Random
Flash knockouts require a particularly hard hit to connect with the head. You need to basically dodge into a punch/kick to get knocked out instantly. So unless you fuck up, you won't get flash ko'd.
>>332097661
I love how Nate throws that one single punch to knock McGregor's head into place for the choke. That finish will never get old.
>>332097119
Or headbutts. Or stomping. Or Pride FC.
>>332087494

I just ant a game that feels as satisfying as webm related.
Well, not counting Sleeping Dogs
>>332111154
Im no expert when it comes to fighting, but the the guy who got knocked out looked inexperienced. He let himself get back into the corner, and the attempt guard The right side of his head looked half-assed.
>>332112264
I just think he got caught by surprise. He didn't think the smaller guy could close the distance so quickly. He was trying to keep him out so he could go for a counter, but he never got the chance.
>>332093113
vitor belfort is a piece of shit cheater hope he dies right now

nobody in the whole ufc hits harder than rumble
they dont require skill and asian-levels of perfect timing. besides the ufc games are slow and clunk as fuck. and honestly would you rather watch UFC gameplay or a fast paced anus clenching game of guilty gear.

Made by EA. No one should support them.
