New to Fightan /v/.
Where should I start? Mold me.
what game
>>333198131
Thats what I'm asking.
>>333198268
you should at least have a game in mind that you would like to play
What consoles do you have?
Do you want to play online or in person?
>>333198321
a fighting game
>>333198430
Arcana Heart

King of fighters 98, 2002 neo geo
>>333198430
If you're mexican then you're already a natural at KoF.
>>333198430
Super Smash Bros.
>>333198321
I really don't. I know virtually nothing about the genre and i'm not a competitive person, but I'm interested in some of the backstories and lore behind some of the games like Street fighter, Blazblue, and Tekken. But I suck at all three.
>>333198414
Everything. And I mean everything barring ZX spectrum. I'd prefer single player.
>>333198067
Play soul caliber
>>333198067
Start with Street Fighter. It will teach you the basics, not overwhelm you with a tag system either.
You can play shoto characters (ryu ken, shoots fireballs) to start out of you truly must have the most basic simple experience to begin with - otherwise just avoid charge characters in general (charge characters are characters whose movesets require 'charging' [holding a direction before executing]).
Start with that and get half decent before moving on to crazy tech fighters like guilty gear or whatever.

>I'd prefer single player.
wait so you want to play fighting games
for the single player
>>333198067
Street Fighter V.
>>333198067
Smash
Pokken
>>333198667
pretty much yeah. Theres some intersting stuff in the tournament mode stories from what I've seen. And it gives me like 30+ stories to play.
I have no interest in getting good or anything.
>>333198665
only sane answer in this thread
>>333198772
Tekken 5 and ttt2, and kof xiii
>>333198772
if that is the case, pick literally ANY one of them and start playing, it literally doesn't matter
it's advised that you get into the online portion aswell, though
>>333198586
If you have a lot of consoles, try different games and play each for at least 4 hours apiece. Try a Mortal Kombat, Soul Calibur, Street Fighter, Tekken, Dead or Alive, and figure out which one you're having the most fun with. Then you can ask /v/ more pointed questions
>>333198067
I thought Persona 4 Arena was pretty simple, and I'm shit at fighting games.

what decent fighting game isn't a weeb game
>>333199047
Thanks, I tried.
>>333198586

Then just don't play.
Look at the films/anime/OVA whatever you wanna call it.
You obviously don't want to play the video games so just do something else.
Start with Smash and also end with that
>>333198910
P4a is shit and will reach bad habits
>>333199098
Eternal Champions
>>333198067
SFV.
SF's fundamentals and ideas carry over pretty easily into other fightans. Also, since SFV is a new fightan, you are likely to fight people who are new to fightan so you can actually have an "even" fight and not get steamrolled every match by someone who has played the same game every day for the past decade.
>>333199168
decent entails not dead
>>333199098
Skullgirls is pretty decent
>>333198067
Get Skullgirls. Play the tutorial.

Skullgirls
>>333199253
>>333199270
Wait.. Does skullgirls count as fighting? I have and play it with my friend a bit. I thought it was a TAG tournament action game?
Depends if you wanna play a fundamental based fighting game like street fighter or an anime fighter. Anime fighters have fundamentals too but not as much and are usually faster paced.
>>333199387
yep
>>333199253
alright you win but it's still trying REALLY hard to be a weeb game
>>333199270
>>333199341
also don't actually do that, the tutorial teaches just about the basics you could just aswell look up on youtube
you'll get bodied online for the majority of your playtime without even knowing how it happened
>>333199387
Skullgirls is a fighting game with a team system. Going online in SG will get you assblasted though, but it sounds like that's not your thing and Skullgirls has a pretty okay story mode. Bonus for fully voiced if you're on PS4 and maybe vita I don't remember.
>>333199649
>Bonus for fully voiced if you're on PS4 and maybe vita I don't remember.
also on PC soon (tm)
Try /fgg/ since /v/ is useless at fighters

It's for SFV, but a lot of the info is pertinent to other fighters.
If you want to play fightan for STORY, I suggest you go and emulate the soul calibur games. Maybe get IV and V if you like 1-3
>>333202404
SCIV's singleplayer content is awful, and while SCV plays great it's a bit lacking in things to do. I'd recommend V if he ever wants to actually play other people though.

>>333199214
if I fighting game is good, there will still be people who are new to the game. especially since sfv is incomplete garbage.
on fightcade there are plenty of people who are like "i'm new to 3rd/alpha3" and plenty of others who are not so new but eat ass anyway.
don't play sfV, if OP MUST play a sf game go with 2 or 3rd strike. if he wants an anime fighter blazblu is good, skullgirls(though ded) or GG Xrd
>>333206548
>don't play sfV
dont listen to this retard
>>333198067
Melty Blood, Guilty Gear.
If you want team game Skullgirls(though it may give you bad habits/game knowledge that isn't applicable to every other fg just due to the nature of it)
Don't play BB it's garbage
>>333198430
Street FighterII
>>333199157
>Bad habits
Like what?
>>333208718
pretty sure P4a has shit like auto combo system or something
Melty Blood
>>333208894
That has nothing to do with bad habits are you fucking stupid, The bad aspect of p4u is the meta of "i baited your dp now im doing 80%".
>>333198725
neither of these are fighting games shill.
