Which fighting game is worth playing right now?
>>338008097
Pokken Tournament of course.
>>338008097
Killer Instinct if you're playing on Xbone/PC.
Kill time waiting for Revelator if you're playing on PS4.
Alternatively, download Fightcade, and play a shit ton of good games. Though, amount of people vary by game.
SFV or Guilty Gear Xrd Rev or DoA5:LR if enjoy 3D fighters.
SFV
KI
Xrd/Revelator
The holy trinity of 8th gen fighters. At least until Tekken comes out on console, then you won't need to play kusoge like Guilty Gear :^)
SFV is the genre standard and the most popular competitive fighting game by far. Start with that.
Melee
>>338008359
>At least until Tekken comes out on console,
Will be atleast a year until console release according to rumors. Just forget the game even exists for now if I was you. Waiting is painful.

There isn't really any other multiplayer genre worth playing.
>>338008638

this is a meme, right?
>>338008613
2020 at the earliest. If you want to play a 3D fighter, either stick to TTT2 or play the underrated DoA5:LR.
>>338008839

>>338008897
he's still basing his opinion on that first trailer before the graphics were even close to finished
>>338008097
GG or SFV. KOF14 will probably be great regardless of being a eye sore. The hypocrisy with KOF14 is great
>Man cool a HD release of a older fighter i loved im going to play that again a shit load
>Eww this new fighter looks like a PS2 game
I'm not defending a game looking like shit in the modern era but people are fucking retarded if they think it can't still be great.
>>338008097
street fighters the only one that matters and the only one people will be playing in a few years so you might as well practice in that. its also better ehehe

Fundamentals will get you pretty far in various games.
>>338008843
Is DoA5:LR good? loved the 4th.
>>338009016
>Implying any of this is true
Tekken has a community you never hear about purely because its pretty much separate from the regular FGC and has its own thing going.
GG also has its own dedicated community be it smaller that still cracks 200-300 at majors in the West and with more tournaments like CEOtaku on the rise.
SF is only are popular as it is off brand fanaticism you got people like Dieminion telling you SFV isn't a reactionary/defensive game and favors strike/throw guessing and random bursts of offense. Basically a glorified guessing game.
Justin Wong also blatantly admitted the reason games like SF are the most popular over games like GG are you have to play GG to understand what is going on at a competitive level.
>>338009310
Yes I really enjoy it. There is an F2P demo version you can try out on PSN. Game should be fairly cheap by now aswell.
>>338009310
you can fap to it
>>338009175
>SFV>GGXrd
Comical it will become even more comical when people try to claim this nonsense when GGXrdRev hits and your only argument is a strawman you yourself won't accept for other genres.
>>338009016
>8f of input lag
>he thinks people aren't going to drop SFV after CPT is over
lol
>>338008097
KI, Tekken 7 and Revelator.
SFV is shit and MKX is irredeemable shit.
is revelator getting a pc release?
>>338008160
>>338009473
Maybe in 6 months but if Sign is any indicator the community will be nonexistent
>>338009241
Why? because of 8 FRAMES (lol!)
>>338009437
Its actually 7.3 atleast on PS4. Although id hope Capcom would improve it over time. There is no reason they shouldn't try to get it to SF4s 4-5f area. It legitimately hurts the whiff punishing aspect of the game which is very important in footsies and in a game where normals already have almost zero whiff recovery.
>>338009437
And play what? SFV is still the king even with its flaws.
I like most fighting games, to be honest.
However, I'd say try gauging interest in people you know (over the internet or IRL). Whatever game you can grind it out with with pals and have discussions over is the game that you're gonna get the most out of. I don't think any fighting game would be worth it to me if I only played with the faceless mobs of ranked queue. Leveling up with friends is what makes fighting games one of my favourite genres, to be honest.
>>338009507
fuck me.
is it really so hard to just release it on pc so I can bandwagon hop with all the boys
my psn id is so shitty and i'm embarrassed to play games online
>>338009512
No, because it's shit.
>>338009528
>Although id hope Capcom would improve it over time
I hope they do too. There's no excuse for it, and Capcom really needs to get their shit together.
>>338009568
I dunno, maybe one of the tons of other fighting games out now/coming out.
>>338009354
in my post im going to be generalizing the gg series as a gay 1-poke-death movie game
>>338009675
The most painful thing to hear it also shit like
>Man 8f doesn't matter that is only like 2-3f of additional lag adapt it will on affect top level play
2-3f even at local levels effects whiff punishing. Its one of the major reasons SFV is more of a guessing game around strike throw and why momentum is so good because of the additional lag on tech timings. It probably affects AAing a slight bit but considering how you can AA with more then half the casts lights/jabs for free not as much as it would in SF4/early ones.
If those few frames of extra delay went away characters like Zangief might also be better because whiff punishing with a SPD would become more viable overall.
If Capcom doesn't do it the game is still alright. But you'd think they'd want to improve something they so quickly did with the PS4 port of SF4 so its obviously not a huge thing to do.
>>338009917
Man the issue is how you pretty much HAVE to AA with lights because of this stupid lag.
Then you get your damage from the ground mixup but if you're up against someone with a meterless reversal you're probably gonna eat at least one CH DP for successfully attempting to actually stop someone from wailing on your ass.
Jumping in this game is stupid.
Oh and CC AAs are useless since you only have CH properties during the startup of air attacks and not the active frames.
>>338009839
Ironically its easier to block and get away from almost all characters in GGXrd then it is in SFV. Most things in GG are reaction based besides a few Elphelt/Zato/Millia setups. Other then that each character has maybe 1 specific to space ambiguous setup and everything else is reactable. Unlike in SFV where you see even pros crack because of a fear of getting thrown so they have to guess especially in the 8f delay with those extra 2-3f over SFV for tech timing.
In GG you see people die not so much because they crack but because they want to IB and take the momentum back since blocking in GG is never a good position to sit in because of the games pace.
GG combos are all mostly short 6-8 hitters at most too. I don't understand how anyone can call it a movie touch of death game when people like FAB are blocking insane pressure strings on reaction with all IBs. Its just a excuse people with more reactions use.
GG is just too fast neutral and defensive wise for the average player. I started up around 06-07 and i still feel like im a groundling.
>>338009917
It is pretty annoying to hear that, but in most peoples defense, they don't notice the difference since they probably don't play above a casual level when friends come over, or battle lobbies with their friends.
>>338009280
More players than Melee at Combobreaker :^)
>>338008097
Anime fighters of course
Super Smash Bros. Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube (circa 2001)
>>338010198
Wow, so gg is an easy game where you dont even need to have a plan of attack like the thinking mans game sfv
>>338008097
KI: Perfect balance of tech/easy to get
SFV : easy to learn , lacks content
GGXrd and Rev: Hard to learn , more technique
Play one of those 3 , are great on their own.
>>338010358
NOT
A
FIGHTING
GAME
YOU FUCKING MANCHILD AUTIST
>Street Fighter
>Not JoJo HFTF
>SFV
What happened to /v/?
>>338010367
Are you serious? If anything the fact almost everything is reactable is proof its a thinking mans game. You have to pressure your opponent know when they want to try to take the momentum to punish them. Someone has to make a move in the neutral and whoever reads the others move/reacts with a better move of their own properly will take it. Characters also almost all have impressive neutral tools across the board so everyone has to work hard to out play the other to get in on the other.
SFV is hardly a thinking mans game in comparison. Strike Throw is almost always a pure guess on the defenders part well being safe as fuck for the aggressor. It has a fucking meta based around taking the throw because of the risk. A meta around taking damage so you don't take more damage because of something unreactable because of strength of throws/extra 2-3 frames of lag.
Seriously kill yourself if you think SFV is a notable thinking mans game. Top players like Phenom/Dieminion/Justin/Infiltration have already said its basically just a momentum based game around strike throw with a few seconds of neutral between that.
More guessing isn't "thinking". When everything is reactable with good tools across the board then true skill opens every door. You can only win by outright being better in that situation.
Not to say GG doesn't have some shit matchups like any other fighter.
>>338008397
Heh, most popular? This is what SF drones acctually believe. But not according to sales or even units shipped.
Sad to see a brilliant franchise fall though.
>>338010758
thats a lot of words to summarize "poke the enemy"
Always makes me sad how little people think of MK.
I know my minds clouded by nostalgia but goddamn if it's not one of the funniest games I've ever played. Especially when you have friends who are as into it as you.
Best part is you can throw it on for casuals and they still have a blast.
None. Play 3s, Vsav, JoJo, KoF2002, or CvS2.
>>338011287
Still the most popular competitive fighting game. No other fighting game has the same presence SF does in competitions and tourneys.
>>338011442
Basically every fighting game ever
>>338009354
Is Tekken really that separate from the FGC, I watch ATP and LUYG and they talk about other fighting games they play. Is it because it's the only popular 3D fighter out and most of the FGC is 2D fighters?
>>338008097
None.
Fighting games haven't changed in over two decades. Once you've played one, you've played them all. Aside from personal skill improvement, they have no depth or longevity to them. Fighting games are on the decline because everyone that used to play them grew up and don't have time to play for hours with their dorm buddies anymore, and for all intents and purposes they've basically already played them because of the "been there done that" effect.
it's a shame to see them go though. They were fun.
>>338012069
3d and 2d are always rather seperate.
>>338010758

>I am a clueless retard but I'm going to post anyways
>>338008097
KI and GG are currently the better fighters this gen.
>>338012318
btw this is the narrative gg plays like to spin so you buy their bad game in hopes you stick so they can have a person to watch their 10 hour long combos w/
>>338012318
I understand the idea is to make it look like an anime but did they really need to implement GG's choppy-ass animation into the 3D?
I am just waiting for Soul Calibur 6.
i-i-it'll happen r-right guys?
Nothing comes close to Street Fighter, don't listen to these unskilled scrublords who can't play
>>338012318
do sword clashes cancel out or something?
Nothing comes close to Street Fighter, don't listen to these unskilled humanoids who suck at it
>>338012639
I would be surprised to see it in this generation of consoles. I'm expecting Tekken X Street Fighter after Tekken 7 and who knows how long that will take.
>>338012491
What narrative? If you still think GG has long combos then you don't know what you're talking about
>>338012746
Those are clashes, if attacks happen at frame specific time, they cancel out
>>338012639
Some day brother...
some day...
>>338012491
As opposed to what? SFV? Best joke I've heard all day, hope they buff R.Mika to make shitters like you cry more.
>>338012879
>What narrative? If you still think GG has long combos then you don't know what you're talking about
Not that guy but when i randomly decided to see tournament gameplay all i saw were long ass combos. Same as Marvel.
>>338013018
Long combos in GG are 8-10 hits tops, and those are usually off counter hits. Normal combos usually finish by 6 and end in knockdown. GG is usually okizeme oriented so you see a lot of setups. If you want to see GG gameplay that's heavy on footsies look no further than what Japanese pros play

does that makes it a better fighter?
>>338013310
Not a competitive game. Pokeshit always sell in millions.

Man, that's a word I always hate when talking about FGs.

Yeah i know but i'm just saying from what ive seen the standard seems to be long combos. Not really comparing the length of them, I don't think ive seen anything worse than Marvel.

MKXL is mild fun and has playable netcode at Last but the playerbase is shit
GGXrd is great, Revelator can't come out soon enough

If you're murican and SF associates with some legacy, I guess you'll like it
Can't wait for T7 which will be my main fightan
>>338011854
Lets wait until next evo to determine that. As of now everyone is playing the game just because it's new.

>implying pokken is bad
>>338013689
Long combos are usually in the realm of Blazblue, where optimized combos are not only dictated by what normal connected, but whose entire game is based around fishing and boating for counter hits in neutral. It's been a while since GG was under the spotlight but it's where people usually get the idea that all anime fighters have long combos, which I really can't blame really.
I could understand if people find 10 hits to be long especially if coming from link based fighters, but there's a reason why link fighters have short combos anyway. You'd see less comboing in GG other than the usual extensions, but you will see a lot of scummy wakeup options that force the downed played to block continuous pressure into all sorts of mixups, which isn't that troublesome if system mechanics are to be applied correctly.
WHEN'S BALROG/IBUKI?
>>338014080
Given their current release rate it'll be at the end of the month.
>>338013774
Anon next thing you'll say Cl0ckwerk loops aren't long.
>>338014061
> which isn't that troublesome if system mechanics are to be applied correctly
lol good luck blitzing Millia
BBCPE. I play it everyday and it never gets dull. Always more things you can practice and learn, and the cast is colorful both in terms of design and gameplay.
>>338014061
I should mention i come from a Tekken backround. You would think i would be okay with long combos but i thought the bound system was broken in tag 2 and to a lesser extent Tekken 6. They replaced it with something else in Tekken 7 so combos are shorter so it's much more enjoyable to watch and play.
Anybody's gonna pick up Koihime Musou on steam ?
>>338014257
Just Dead angle you'll be fine. If anything that was her reward for you losing at neutral. FD flickering low into chicken blocking is also an option, especially if the millia player sucks at timing meaties
>>338014328
Preordered it during the sale. Don't think I'll play it all too much, but a few days of fucking around should be nice.
>>338014315
True, I've enjoyed watching 7ekken matches now than Tekken 6.
>>338013778
thats what happen when you dont release a fighter after the hype is gone
>>338013409
It is a better fighter
>>338012639
red dead 2 will come out before that happens. feelsbad
>>338014080
I hear you, brother. Glorious times will be had when we Ibuki players finally get her back. All 10 of us.
>>338014238
Clockw0rk loops? Are you talking about Strider/Doom lockdown traps? Because that's not the same thing, y'know.
>>338014328
I'm thinking of picking it up, reminds me of SamSho 2 (which is a good thing) with Fatal Counter.Maybe in a 80% sale, 'cause I'm broke as fuck.
>>338013774
So DHC infinites arent long? They're basically what it says on the tin
Shitstorm aside, I really love SF5 right now. It looks good and plays good. I'm currently mastering the art of playing with just one hand while using Cammy.
>>338013689
That's just an iron man infinite. There's a few things like that in mvc2 but mostly it's much shorter.
Go watch skullgirls top level play. Combos are even longer than that normally. I love that game
>>338015327
I watched SG when it was popular and yeah i saw the long combos. I don't really care for Marvel 2 but Marvel 3 is the real guilty one here. The fact that it's still at evo is annoying.
>>338009113
Simple: no-one on /v/ is actually good at fighting games
>>338015198
DHC infinite? Okay, you just made that up. What the fuck is a DHC infinite? Are you talking about that thing you do in training mode with infinite meter?
Are you talking about DHC glitch? 'cause that's MvC3.
Really, the only long-ish combos you could do with a DHC in MvC2 is air combo > Lightning Storm > DHC into HSF > Sentinel repeated unfly/refly LK's. Good luck with the last part though you won't even need it because DHC of Doom already does a fuckton of damage.
>>338015518
Don't worry anon, KoFXIV will replace Marvel next year as the 3v3 fighter at EVO.And yes, I understand they're not 3v3 in the same sense. Shut up.
>>338015327
Skullgirls combo got progressively shorter over the years, and they're at their shortest right now.
>>338015805
Yep DHC infinites in Marvel 3. We're talking about Marvel combos in general right?
>>338015198
By the way, what >>338015327 said. There are a few true practical infinites in MvC2, but they don't happen often.
DHC whatever and Clockw0rk shit ain't among them.
>>338015914
Maybe you did, but I wanted to point out that MvC2 is not the same which is part of the reason why it's such a loved game in the series.
>>338015967
Eh, fair enough. It's mostly UMVC3 that gets the bad rap for drawn out combos and 5 layers of mixup on incoming
>>338016136
Aight. I hate UMvC3 so it's okay.
>>338015914
By the way, to be fair though, it's:
>DHC Glitch, which is a vanilla MvC3 exclusive thing
>TAC infinites, which is not the same thing
>>338008160
Sorry, which GOOD fighting game is worth playing right now?

>>338016676
>i-it only sold well because of pokemon and the wii u has no games...
SFV if you want good basic fighting game with a big player base and need to rub one out to Laura
GG if you want anime
Tekken when it comes out if you want a 3D fighter
And if anything else if you just want to be a hipster and not actually play the game cause they are dead
>mfw I just play SFV andMelee
>Gonna learn to play Xrd when I stop being bad in SFV
>>338016843
Actual fighting games were always niche. If you bought a Wii U, chances are you were a nintendrone and a guaranteed sale for anything including Pokeshit. Meanwhile, PS4 players have many more options.
>>338017043
>I-if I put the truth in greentext and use a mocking tone, it will stop being true...
>>338013869
You realise that even if it had 1/4 of the entrants it has signed up for evo it would still be one of the games with the most entrant? And that 4000 is still rising so it could end up still having the most if only a 1/4 entered next year
>>338017048

For now and currently:
SFV king of fighting games.
DoA5:LR best 3D fighter.
MKX is gimmicky and not balanced but has lots of entertainment value.
GG if you like anime fighters.
Pokken and Smash if nintendog
Play those. Personally can't wait for Tekken 7 FR and KOF14 will cleanly wash all said above.
Consider suicide pills if you like KI.
