How good are you at Fighting Games
Terrible.
>>340292179
im good atmelee
my m bison is an abomination tho
>>340292179
Questioning my ability at fighting games: get that ass banned.
beat war gods on the hardest difficulty setting. dont fuck with me.
Absolutely awful.
I enjoy watching them, though
i got better at melee and all other fighting games are boring as fuck now
i aint got time to learn 300 different combos that only work for one iteration of one game
>>340292179
I am very terrific in the greatest fighting games.
Actually I have no fucking clue. My brain does not co-operate with this genre.
>>340292179
I'm only good at Dead Or Alive aka dead as fuck game
I struggle to get good at Tekken, and I'm pretty good at casual fightans like Narutu or UFC garbage.
2D fighters are a nightmare I'm such a fucking scrub I must have bought all the 2d fighters of the last decade and always got my shit WRECKED online.

>>340292842
>only other fighting game with a scene is sfv which is trash compared to sf4
fighting games are dead for anything that isn't melee and sm4sh
>>340292179
Me and my cousin played SF4 hardcore. i dabbled in a lot of other fighting games like blazblue and guiltygear and Jojo's as well to name a few. my cousin went on to play SF5 and is now ranked like 23rd in the world. Hes been playing in tournaments recently. i sitill give him some trouble but hes taken SF to another level for me.
I'd say fairly mediocre. I know mechanically what goes on now and can appreciate high level matches but when it comes down to it, I freeze up and get timid against everyone, even if it's been established I could play better than them on reaction alone.
>>340292929
>More people enter tournaments for a casual party game than games that require actual skill and time investment
Go figure.
what does it smell like
what does it TASTE like
>>340293802
I think Smash 4 is boring to both watch and play, so I will give you that, but Melee's skill ceiling is absurdly high, intended or no.
Shit's potentially a handbreaker, and grinding shit out in the lab is just as much of a thing there as it is elsewhere.
>>340293802
you can hate melee because you don't play it but that doesn't change the fact that it is easily the most technical fighting game in history
was this the greatest moment of your life
I used to be ok at Marvel 2
>>340295053
Not him but I don't hate melee, I hate the community because they smell and never want to have anything to do with the rest of us at tournaments. They're too insular.
>>340295084
what about Marvel 1
>>340295280
>Marvel 1

>>340295430

That's too far back for even me
>>340295269
>because they smell
you mean tekken?
>>340292179
I like to play fighting games in somewhat casual manner, but my lacking reactions and the fact that I find practicing execution boring as fuck prevents me from taking them seriously.
>>340295581
No they just plain don't show up when there isn't a tournament of it.
I still can't air combo in Mahvel (´･ω･`)
>>340292929
That's why SFV has nearly 5K entrants at EVO, Sm4sh and Melee haven't even broke 2k
I'm ok. Maybe mediocre. I constantly go 0-2 in local monthlies in SG, Xrd, and SFV
>>340295793
How?
If you can type out 1123 in quick succession on your keyboard, you can do a basic Marvel (3) air combo.
>>340296019
>sfv
>a good game
choose only one. if capcom didn't force them to use it 4 would have more entrants than 5 ever will.
HYPER
VIPER
BEAM
>>340296315
That doesn't make sense, otherwise Ultra would have gotten even more entrants last year.
A bit off topic, but I played a few minutes of KoF14 at ComboBreaker and I never played a KoF game up to that point. I had no idea what I was doing and I was getting my ass kicked, but it was fun. Would picking up 13 be wise or should I just wait for 14?
I'm absolutely shit and I don't know where to start.
Fighting games aren't even fun anymore
You play online and it's all just twitch watching kids who have sat online and looked up and practiced every little tech tidbit in some desperate attempt to get any little edge they can find
That's all everything is nowadays, just go online and find the cookie cutter meta shit
Pro KoF god
>>340296567
14 is very based off of 13, but with super shorter combos. So get 13 to sort of get used to the characters.
>>340296659
>playing online
You're missing the point of fighting games
I love them and I understand them, but I'm mediocre at best. Decent at my main game. That's all.
>>340296567
I have also played 14 and I would say your time would be better invested on KoF98/98FE or 2002/2002UM
KoF13 is kind of its own entity and while it does have a lot in common with KoF14 it's considerably harder to pick up than KoF14 will be. I'd focus on learning your KoF fundamentals, play on fightcade or with friends in the meantime.
That said, there's no reason why you can't play 13, just understand that a lot of effort learning HD combos etc will be wasted, as Max Mode combos are much more simple.
Make sure you watch this if you're learning

>>340295269
Does anyone else just absolutely hate their lingo? Like I know we have shit like "meaty" but I can't help but eye-roll at smash commentary.
I download characters and watch them fight in MUGEN. That's all. Quite fun though.
>>340292179
I can do SRK and DP inputs and string together tiny combos but that's about it. I know I could learn to be decent at them but I don't give them the time
because I'd rather play melee tbqh
>>340297098
You might as well just watch saltybet then so you can gamble
I got to dural innormaldifficulty with learning on VF 2.
I swear, either Pai or Kagemaru are casual-filters, or they're fucking broken.
>>340296315
desu the only game that should be grandfathered in is marvel and even that is debatable.
>>340296623
sfv is retard tier simple and very popular with matchmaking
that or fightcade/ggpo/netplay older games
>>340297749
Marvel was literally never go away unless there's a new one. Even if the only players left are FChamp, Chris G and JWong, it'll still be the final game before SF at Evo.
>>340297897Melee is the final game before SF this year
>>340292179
>/v/
>fighting games
>>340297897
That's why I'm saying it should be the only "old" game being played in this lineup. Evo is practically synonymous with marvel (and a bit less so with cv2)
If every other game has to make the switch, than melee should get the boot for sm4sh as well. Or should we get USF4, 3S, or TTT2 as well?
>>340295505
just looking at the screenshot, I can here that character select music so well
>>340298417
id definitely prefer older games over half the "new" games at evo
>>340298185
>the post with the chun li reaction image at the bottom
but he's right
>>340292179
Shit tier, unless smash bros counts then mediocre.
>>340298417
>>340297749
Why do you act like there's any sense to Evo lineups? Evo has always been about who can pay their way in, not about the community or popularity of a game.
If enough shekels make their way into Mr Wizard's pockets you bet your ass Marvel is gone.
32 wins 240 losses in tekken
>>340299534
Melee is in Evo BECAUSE of its community.
Smash 4/Pokken were paid in directly by Nintendo though.
>>340299473
I wonder who could be behind this post
>>340301774
Seriously. How is ultra not more of a comeback mechanic? Using v skill to get v trigger is feasible. Using focus to get ultra is feasible with elena. His 3rd point isn't really relevant and 1 frame links don't matter.
>>340300596
No, melee is in Evo because Nintendo paid money for Smash 4, and having smash 4 and leaving melee out would leave Mr Wizard's money taking so fucking obvious it would be a PR disaster. That's why it's there, not because of any care of the melee community.
Actually I am being slightly unfair, it is partially there because it makes shitloads of money due to little entry crossover with the other games because smash players can't actually play fighting games.
>>340295053
Not even Virtua Fighter fans talk about their game like this. Melee fans need to chill the fuck out.
>>340301774
Nah I actually do have to agree with him, even if you disagree with what that Chun Li post says it's perfectly reasonable and nothing in it is really wrong.
>>340292179
Im ok. I cant do crazy combos shit but i have fun and thats the most important thing about videogames.
>>340302538
Name a fighting game more technical, let alone one that is even close to as relevant.
>>340302483
Can't or don't? Smash is not a fighting game so skill doesn't transfer.
Tons of FGC pros have tried smash and drown in Pools R1, even in Smash4, so it's not any different.
Also the Melee community sustains itself. Those 90k something dollars that got melee into EVO didnt come from Nintendo ya know.
>>340300194
Which one?
>>340302828
>Can't or don't?
Well I mean Leffen plays SF, but he's only "ok"
>>340292179
Not at all, I hover in between button mashing and trying to do a full circle.
>>340292929
>SFV is trash compared to SF4
Maybe the ultra master rererelease of SF4, but let's be real, Alpha 3rd strike is the best, 5 is a tragedy but it is definitely better than 4, even with its limited roster.
>>340302793
There is no use even comparing smash to SF type games to Anime games to 3D games. They are all different and offer different things. It's silly to say smash is the best and most technical thing ever. It's just good at being smash and there is no other smash type games to compare it to other than other games in the series.
>>340302828
>Smash is not a fighting game so skill doesn't transfer.
Look I agree it's not a fighting game, but that's not why skill doesnt transfer. Otherwise being great at Super Turbo should make you amazing at Blazblue since they're both fighters.
I'm only good at JoJo and Mortal Kombat.
>>340302793
I'll take melee's technical skill seriously when they stop complaining about simple shit like fucking qcf in the same breath.
>>340303174
>the best
who said this? the post said more technical
>>340302989
He prefers KoF and is better at that
He also quite openly shits on smash when comparing it to fighting games
>>340293365
>my cousin is 23rd in the world at SFV
WHATS HIS NAME YOU STUPID FAGGOT
>>340292179
I'm good at standard fighters like SF and I'm also good at Smash. I'm absolutely terrible at combo based fighters like Marvel and Skullgirls. I want to get better at 3D fighters like Tekken.
>>340303272

>>340292179
I'm pretty decent at most of the recent stuff. Never had a community to learn mvc2 with back in the day, but could beat anybody at the arcade pretty consistently.
>>340293365
>my cousin went on to play SF5 and is now ranked like 23rd in the world
won't get him sponsored
>>340303181
No, but at its very core FG games share a lot of base mechanics, while Smash doesn't.
Having a good neutral in Smash doesn't mean shit for fighting games because the movement, attacks, positioning, everything is so different. Stages, %, weight, gravity, fall speed, DI, Smash plays too differently.
But things like defending from crossups, using your safe buttons for footsies, zoning, and similar transfer well within most fighting games.
I spent a lot of time understanding the basics and even the theories along with fighting games.
But I still suck when I play them, so fuck em
>>340303258
>sm4sh
waveshines or moonwalking are harder than anything in sm4sh easily
>>340303272
I just see that said a lot so i just wrote that in there without realizing it.
>>340303258
Nobody in melee complains about qcf.
We have inputs that require those already, like shield dropping and reaction survival DI.
>>340292179
I'm ok at Dragon Ball Extreme Butoden and that's it
>>340303478
Then we may as well disqualify most 3D fightan from being fightan
All melee has is executional difficulty, the actual game itself is shallow as fuck,

I always seperate 2D and 3D fighting games into seperate sub genres and there are enough games to support that. 3D stuff transfers in their games and same for 2D
I suck at fighters honestly I button mash like a motherfucker, but games like Def Jam ffny (wrestling game) I'm pretty decent at.
>>340303840
They are their own subsection, but the core is still the same.
Life bars, blocking, safe pokes, footsies, combos being universal and not character dependant, etc.
Was pretty good at SFIV used to go to weeklies for it. Same with Melee.
Haven't really touched SFV as been too busy to really get into it properly.
>>340303904
I have a weird situation here so i just have to type all at once.
>>340292179
Place well in Melee at locals, never won an actual tournament but my Marth is something fierce. Also a lifelong Tekken player but I'll never be Korean good. Still love and play it all the time though. King main.
I recently got into GGXrd and started to learn how to actually playing fighting games, I'm OK, not exactly ready for online play, really do believe I need an arcade stick because doing inputs with analogue isn't as precise as i want and I will fuck up some super inputs 10% of the time and I cant pull of IAD with analogue so the longer combos are all off limits, thinking about getting a stick with an octo gate because seems most accurate and precise for me.
Without stick my current level is doing makeshift combos that are shorter than the longest and do maybe 10-20% less damage than the most optimal shit.I can't play millia well as a result because I cant do 2D into a buffered dash and tandem top like I see people do all the time, I always wanted to follow up a knockdown with her tandem top gimmick but when I dash and set it up its too slow and get punished cos I cant buffer it.
Been trying to get gud with Erron Black on MKX. I can beat the computer on Medium, but I get my ass handed to me online.
I'm okay at fighting games. I was average in KoF13, average in SF4 and GG.
People keep telling me to play 98' or 2002 UM to prepare for KoF14, but I wonder how true that is.
how do you dodge this
>>340304221
It's always a pleasure to see someone who doesn't play fighting games to try and disprove Smash as one. None of those things function exactly the same in each game, and all fighting games have character specific combos.
Any tips for online play on MKX?
>>340303692
Goes to show the massive chips they have on their shoulders. At least on the /v/ side. I've never been to a smash forum, since I don't care for the game, but holy fuck /v/ is the worst way to expose yourself to the community.
If technical skill were the end-all to a game's superiority, the VF and Accent Core +r would probably be the only games played desu.
>>340303258
>How do I DI out of this combo
>Wait you mean I can't DI out of Low Forward>Hadouken
>Game confirmed garbage
Every Melee player trying out SF ever. God help them if they ever play an anime fighter.
>>340304791
By Character specific I meant that certain combos only work on a certain character.
Like A Marth's chaingrab only works on Fox/Falco, while other character are too floaty to get work.
While in SF and standard Ryu combo will work the same on every character.
>>340304536
Get a stick as soon as you can if that's what you want to use, it's much easier to learn fighting games on a stick than to learn on a pad and switch to stick later. Hell, do any GG players use pad?
>>340292179
>How good are you at Fighting Games
not good enough
Whatever happened to Death Cargo? I kinda miss the shitposting and shilling.
>>340304865
Play any other game because MKX is ""corner your opponent rape them and just do a low quick kick if you fucked up "
Also
"Dont use the rest of the cast besides the top 10 meta characters because the rest of the cast has a massive gap in power"
MKX is the symbol everything wrong with Mortal kombat.

that's generous
>>340302483
what about before sm4sh came out? melee was at evo long before 4 came out.
>>340305002
Smash has BnBs too
Character optimized combos are more extreme than other fightan but it's by design. In a game where you always take the same percent of a bar, being combo fodder is how you make a character frail.
>>340305351
Unfortunately, PSN and Japanese arcades are the way to go if you want some animu.
>>340292179
>SFV
I'm a decent Bison a mediocre Ryu and a bad Alex

I'm a decent Heidern/King and a bad everything else.
I've played Melty, Blazblue and Samsho for years. I don't think it counts, but I play EXVS and VOOT as well. I'm okay at it, but I still get my shit pushed in
I can do 2 EWGF is a row and maybe 3 30% of the time if i really try. I'm not a Kazuya main so it doesn't really bother me but man pulling those off feel good.
Feels even better when you can punish with that move but since i'm not Korean or Nip i doubt that will happen.
Only consistent wins are with Tager, Parasoul, Jewpuncher, Slayer, and Juri.
So pretty shit overall.
Keep playing the field in SFV and had the best results with cammy and guile so far but I really don't want to play them.
Is GG XRD any good? Used to play a lot of XX whatever version back in the day and enjoyed it.
I'm pretty good at them if everyone is just starting out at it but I lose in every high level play
When i'm in a good mindset i'm actually really fucking solid imo. But when i get angry and think "man this dude is ass i should be able to win" even if i come back and win i devolve to only a decent player because i let outside factors anger me and influence my gameplay.
>>340298185
>Capcom fighters have artificially difficult inputs
He should try playing KoF or Tekken if he feels that way.
Now THOSE have silly inputs.
I hope that the new KOFXIV has better inputs.
>>340292179
Good enough to take first place at locals and not get completely destroyed by top players.
>>340306531
Yes, it's great. Get Revelator.
>>340306531
If you want to get good at it, not really. The game is frustratingly skewed if you're playing anyone under mid tier with game mechanics that, if you don't understand them in depth, will cripple you.
>>340292179
Complete shit. Never had anyone to play against, so I never bothered with them.
My fundamentals are okay enough to get by in whatever I pick up, and I love playing them with friends. I just can't commit myself to a single fighting game to get over that barrier that comes without dedication to a specific character/game.
So most of the fun comes when I have a few friends over and we change the game every 30 minutes or so unless we're having a ton of fun. I love mixing in slightly more obscure and older stuff like Asuka 120% and Slap Happy Rhythm Busters.
>>340307340
Tekken does not have hard inputs at all. The hard part about Tekken is movement. Only a few characters like Nina and Kazuya demand good execution on actual moves.
I'm like the 7-8/10 jack of all trades for the genre
Better than all of my friends
Can use all the characters
Aside from tekken and melee I could hold my own in lobbies, arcades and demolish every single friend of mine in any other fighting game
Basically its my favorite genre but I've always been so much better than my friends I couldn't get any better without a partner or someone to practice with

Fucking this. I attribute it to beating Acrade/Story/Etc mode with everyone.
Pocket Fighter is best fighter
I was green ranks in TTT2 but I suck at other fighting games
My friend who did really well at EVO in USF4 has been my mentor for years in fighters.
I still can't beat him, but he taught me somethings in fighters because I wanted to win and do all that neat stuff. Once I beat him he said my training is complete
>>340311582
Beating him is not enough.You must kill him and embrace the Satsui no Hadou.
I can beat a gold or two on rare occasion in SFV, but I really need Juri.
I guess I'm not too bad with Alisa in Tekken.
Nobody plays Uniel or Chaos Code.

Around the time I got into fighters I was only 13 at the arcade and I used to play MvC2. Almost ten years ago actually, he used to work there. One day he just got tired of seeing me get beat and I used to waste all my lunch money playing that game. So one day after I lost all my money losing to players, he came up to me with a lot of quarters and said, "Alright boy I'm gonna teach you how to play these games." That become to norm for me until the arcade closed down and I had nowhere else to go. I got back into fighters once I ran into him at an anime convention. I forgot his name for the longest until we met up again in 2009-2010.
After that I've been going with him and his group for 6 years. It's been great, someday I'll beat him at Street fighter.
>>340312468
waiting for Juri too I main her. I wish UNIEL was popular
I am a professional Hentai MUGEN player, ask me anyhting.
I peaked at Platinum on SFV ranked, kinda mediocre at most other games
Gonna pick up Blazblue next, since my localsmash 4 scenehas taken a liking to it
>>340313752can you link some?
I was competent enough in MvC2 to pull off 1 or 2 frame links. I hated MvC3, I wanted to get into it by high level play was somehow dumber than MvC2.
Also SFA3 is when I finally got into fighters.
Been able to take games off of high lvl melee players and I only started training and practicing a few months ago.
>>340313638
That's a pretty neat story, when coincidences like that happen, you must cherish them.
It's good that you got a fighting bro who is willing to teach you.

Yes actually. The best Elphelt player in the US uses pad. It's completely viable.
