Marshall Law master race.
The only non-smash Fighter I've *ever* been good with was Killer Instinct using Cinder. Easiest combo ever, >>Y then keep pressing > and Y. Strings into a 20+ hit combo, only doing that.
>>2790934
I hate the perception that Fighters suck cause there's too many combos. If I spend half an hour to an hour in practice mode with one character I can get at least 75% of the command list memorized.
>>2790934
>Easiest combo ever, >>Y then keep pressing > and Y. Strings into a 20+ hit combo, only doing that,
I'm going to go try that out.
>>2790934
Baek from Tekken is kinda like that. Button mash X and O and you can do like a 10 hit combo. Only Tekken character Ive ever thought was actually cheap.
>>2790956
Yeah, good stuff. I never bought KI2 because Cinder got cut, haha. So salty for my combo.
Spinal has a similar one. Rushes with his shield and then keeps hitting. >> Y or something like that, again.
Which are the good Sailor Moon fighting games?
>>2790925
agreed
SC:Voldo
Tekken:Paul
SF:Dan
MK:Baraka
KoF:Terry
DoA:That drunken boxer old dude
>>2791025
Brad Wong is like 30
>>2791047
Oops I actually got DoA confused with Virtua Fighter. Never got into those games much.
>>2790936
the combos got too long and it fucks up the pacing
what was wrong with short combos + high damage
My local arcade got Vampire Savior for Halloween, I had a 4 win streak using Felica against some guy.
>>2791075
What's up with all these fighting games based off of little girls
>>2791079
Like what? Vsav's mascot characters are Muscle Dracula and a Titty Monster
>>2790964
I like Sailor Moon SuperS on the Super Famicom.
Also heard the 3DO game is good but never played it.
>>2791154
There's one that people say is really good, I couldn't remember if it was on PS1 or not. It was probably the SFC one then
>>2791157
It's not REALLY good (like it doesn't stand a chance against Capcom or SNK games), but it's a decent game.
It has an interesting VS mode with some customization, a nice roster (all the senshi + outer senshi) and nice looking stages and backgrounds, it's a good deal if you like SM.
>>2790934
I heard on /vr/ they made Cinder intentionally overpowered to help out beginners. Wonder how true is that.
fighters are a shit genre for autists who never accomplished anything in life, no one past 20 has time or friends to get good at them
>>2791193
Or maybe you just don't have any friends to play with. My bros and I have been having Tekken matches since we were kids. And it's not like you have to play for 10 years to get good at them, you must just be really bad at fighting games.
>>2791193
Lol I bet gootecks and Mike Ross have more money and friends than you ever will you projecting beta, and they aren't even good
>>2790964
they're all shit but the arcade beat em up is good, also the megadrive beat em up
>>2791193
And you're way too old with too much time to waste on shitposting on a retro board on 4chan, and no friends either.
My favorite fighter is still Super Turbo. Ken my main man.
Tekken I like Lee
KoF I run Ryo, Clark, and Benimaru
MK: Scorpion
SC: Mitsurugi
SF: Yuri
Tekken: Hwoarang
VF: Jacky/Shun Di
MK: Kung Lao
Soul Calibur is easily my best fighting game. Finally got the platinum trophy in SCV.
Currently trying to master Akira in VF2. Very, very challenging but very rewarding at the same time.
I grew up with SFII Turbo on SNES, mained Vega/Ken I guess. Playing the HD Remake on the 360 shows I have lost all the years of skill I had made, that's for sure.
If Third Strike is allowed here, I play a subpar Remy and Ken. I just wish I had the skills I had in my teens/early twenties again.
super turbo : cammy (i swear)
third strike : ryu

Jojo: Jotaro Kujo

I wish I could win a match as the Daytona Hornet. I want to know what it's victory pose is.
>>2791191
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUd3LHEDlM0
That video should start with his extremely easy noob combo though
>>2790936
>tfw can't combo
I can jump kick in and do a sweep, that's the extent of my skills. I can't get the hang of timing or do anything longer because of many reasons but the bottom line is I just suck at these games and rely on special moves to win.
Hey guys, mind if I spam my leg helicopter whatever move?
http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters2/iori-orochi-cvs-stance.gif
3rd Strike has probably the biggest population of active players for /vr/ fighters. FightCade is always bustlin with dudes ready to knock each other out.
It's like a weird 6th sense, once I pretty much dropped every fighter out there except 3s, I can pick up where I leave off, even months at a time, and not really feel any need to "shake off rust" or whatever other bullshit excuse niggas use to explain away loses.I spent some cash padhacking my arcade stick to support PS4 and it's been agonizing waiting for SFV to drop.
>>2791749
Sure, if you don't mind if I low parry and get a guaranteed combo.
>>2791751
Is this your first day?
Am I the only one who thought Evil Zone was the best fighter on the PS1? So simple yet frantic.
>>2791552
Say what you will about Voldo but he's a decent character. Nimble movements can confuse enemies. Some good stances. May be a fag but he's not that bad.
>>2791880
i normally hang around the ST lobby but every now and again ill go fuck around in 3S, but for me reading the shit talking in the lobby is just as fun as playing

VF: Wolf all day erryday
Old DOA: Bayman
>>2791556
It's amazing what kind of bullshit you can do with Akira in VF2 (and VF2 in general). Can't figure out how to do the glitch Toe Kick of Doom there with Jeff though. Don't know the right motion for it.
Also those infinite jab combos that carry straight to Ring Out or KO is hilarious to watch.
What are some fighters you think only you've played lots of? Pic related
Tekken 1 has so many memorable faces, holy shit.
SC: Nightmare (Siegfried variant) or Siegfried if he's available, Nightmare (Soul Edge variant) and Mitsurugi.
Tekken: Paul, Heihachi, Law, Kazuya, Jin, and Mokujin (preferably as Kuma/Panda)
Street Fighter Alpha 3: Gen, Akuma, both A-ism
MK: Ermac (9), Johnny Cage (everything else)
VF: Goh (not retro, obviously, but why play older versions)
DoA: Jann Lee, Bayman, Tina, Ein (simply because his low kick counter hold is the BEST looking move in the game)
>>2792696
At least within my circle of friends I've played a crapton of Martial Masters and Jackie Chan FOF, as well as say, stuff like Karnov's Revenge (which does have a cult following at least).
>>2792696
Pray for Death, which was so bad you'd pray for a better PC fighting game.
I was pleasantly surprised when /vr/ started that I wasn't the only one who played OMF 2097 and that it was nowhere near as niche as I had assumed. It's fun when every fighter is completely unbalanced - the Fist of the North Star fighting game from the 2000s was like that, too.
>>2791075
oh man... I played the shit out of this, when I had it on the Saturn. I mained Q-Bee and Gallon/John Talbain. They are a little cheap, though. Q-Bee's command throw has priority over almost every thing
>>2792696
the most obscure fighter I have played is probably Zero Divide. I hear it ripped off Virtua Fighter pretty hard, but I have never played VF. too technical. then again, ZD can get pretty technical...
obscurest shit I ever played

I think King of Figthers is the best retro series. I like most of the cast all the way from '94 to '02, but my go to main team when I really want to win it is Athena, Iori and Kim. Athena especially is one of my all time favorite characters in any fighter.
Mortal Kombat didn't age well at all, but I played the heck out of it as a teenager and Sub Zero and Mileena were always best.
Street Fighter has never been a favorite. But when I do, usually go back and forth between Dan and Sagat. Sagat because he's awesome and Dan because he sucks but feels like a combo of Ryo and Robert and when I can eek out a win with him it's always fun.
>>2793541
In the newer Street Fighters they actually upgraded Dan quite a bit. I like his hadoukens and kicks better than Ken and Ryu.
>>2793541
That Athena is pretty cool. Which game is she from? The only KoF Athena I know is the schoolgirl.

Thirty minutes into "fighting games and chill" and he gives you that look
>>2794108
Any Eddy player who uses helicopter always goes into slippery kick. Sometimes unintentionally, which is where you get your guaranteed combo off parrying, or possibly a combo off low block in the case of T3 where low parties aren't universal. Knowing that it's coming is easy anyways since it's the fastest move that comes out of handstand. Once you've seen Eddy a few times, he just gets more and more predicable.
But yeah, TTT2 every day.
>>2793751
>full of internalized misogyny
How so? Examples?
Has anyone ever played this? Used to play this for hours with my bros

I really want to get back into Samurai Shodown. I also really love Vampire Saviour.
>>2794581
I played a lot of the sequel. It was fun.
>>2790936
Combos aren't the end all be all for fighting games, man. You can practice that same 100% combo everyday, but it doesn't mean shit if you can't get in.
>>2797358
Well timing comes with practice. I dont think it takes that much. Ive been a Tekken player since I was 4 years old and after like a week of owning TT2 my friend actually beat me in a couple matches.
>>2791079
So you've never played any of the games then?
Old Tekken graphics are fucking horrifying
>>2797398
If there's anything that bugs me about old Tekken, it's how all the hands looked. In the first 2 they seemed like fuckhuge paws or some shit.
That out of the way, man. I miss Classic Law's higher pitched yells in 1-2.
>>2790936
Combos should be toned down for fighters. Samurai Shodown 1 had the best approach to combos where there were only a few per character and the gameplay was almost 100% about fundamentals are who could react the quickest.

I agree. It's good to have combos if they're sufficiently tricky to pull off, but when they get over 5 hits and taking more than 10-15% of a health bar it makes the game both too reliant on them and reduces the number of back and forths you'll get in a match. Those fundamentals, tradeoffs and footsies being the most interesting parts I like to see more of that.

One thing I found interesting about Paul from Tekken is that he's the only one to not lose when facing a Mishima. According to the Tekken story Mishima's basically fuck up every non-Mishima in the game. In Tekken 1 Paul actually tied with Kazyua though. Paul viewed Kazuya as his main rival and Kuma basically beat Paul before he could face Kazuya starting the rivalry between Kuma. This is all what Ive heard from Tekken story. Idk thought it was interesting how Paul is the strongest non-Mishima in the game story wise.
>>2800587
Paul also beat Ogre, an ancient fighting God, and claimed the Tekken title in Tekken 3 but he walked away before Ogre turned into True Ogre who Jin then killed taking the title away from Paul.
>>2790883
>competitive
>with friends
Yeah, nah, go tourney or go home.
>>2800593
This is pretty much proof that his deathfist will destroy everything and everyone.
>>2800183
If my experience with fighting him with later Soul Calibur games is anything, bad Kilik players will just try to abuse his long-reaching attacks (usually the lunge, his B,B, and some of his pokes) which you can easily sidestep. Remembering that, I love that within my circle of friends it's become a running gag to know a certain pattern that bad Kilik players go for so much, it's burned into our brains.
Also, like that other anon said he had a son who carried on his Bo Staff style in SCV, and he's there as the new Edgemaster of sorts.
>>2799275
I wish I could find a certain set of SSVSP matches where it really boiled down to patient spacing and capitalizing on huge openings. There was a beastly Shizumaru player who would find ways to land the charged attack and instantly win a round, and then you have dumb stuff like Rera mirrors where they ride the wolf and go fuck around the whole round.
>>2799345
Does Fightcade support Fight Fever? I'd say Karnov's Revenge but sometimes it's rather populated there and there's some players who will wreck your shit.

And now Paul is the Dan of Tekken in terms of story. At least in terms of gameplay he's no fucking joke, so it's not a complete wash. I'm praying that he actually gets a serious storyline for 7, the game looks about as grimdark as 4 was.

You can call me a faggot, I don't mind. I get it a lot.
i kinda miss those weird experimental fighting games like bushido blade, tobal, even the shitty ones like biofreaks
>>2801261
Bushido Blade was so damn amazing. I really with it had become the model for 3D fighters rather than VF and Tekken.
>>2801358
Then all fighting games would just be beat 'em ups against really strong characters.
There's a deep amount of breadth to the combat of VF and Tekken, such that Bushido Blade feels like you're only dipping your toe.
>>2800737
>KoF:Kyo just Kyo forever
You don't play KoF in teams? Weeeird.
>>2801373
>There's a deep amount of breadth to the combat of VF and Tekken, such that Bushido Blade feels like you're only dipping your toe.
I totally agree, Bushido Blade is far from perfect. But what I mean is that I wish that free roaming style where even a single well placed strike could be deadly had caught on more.
3D fighters as they are now are great, no question there. But they're also basically 2D fighters with the added depth of moving in 3D around the fighting area. Bushido Blade felt very different though, and I would have loved to see more games in that style improved and iterated on. BB itself doesn't have a ton of depth, but there's room for it.
>>2801389
But spacing is absolutely an issue in 3D fighters. I think you might be conflating the infinite background stages in Tekken with the entirety of 3D fighters.
Yeah, when the arenas are empty and boundless, they aren't anything more than a 2D stage with some dodge moves, but ever since 4, Tekken has had finite stages, and populated with obstacles, and now ledges and stage transitions. VF always had spacing considerations with the rings being finite and falling out of them was an instant loss condition. In these cases, being in the wrong area and taking an attack leads to additional punishment
> even a single well placed strike could be deadly had caught on more.
We had those. It was called Soul Calibur 4 and it was awful.
>>2801408
>But spacing is absolutely an issue in 3D fighters.
I didn't mean to imply it wasn't. I don't disagree with anything you're saying there.
Maybe I didn't describe it very well, but playing Bushido Blade and then playing Tekken, VF or SC you can tell that they're very different. That's really all I'm talking about. That I wish more games like Bushido Blade got made and that style of game became it's own sub genre.
>We had those. It was called Soul Calibur 4 and it was awful.
That's sort of what I mean, something like that wouldn't make sense in a traditional fighting game. I didn't play SCIV, but I can imagine it wouldn't have worked well. But it was a key part of Bushido Blade's design and although it didn't work perfectly I've always thought it was really interesting.
>>2801358
>I really with it had become the model for 3D fighters rather than VF and Tekken.
i wouldn't go that far but it would be nice to get an unorthodox 3d fighter once in a while
it would be nice to have new 3d fighting games period...
>>2801776
Totally. I didn't really mean that I wished Tekken and the like didn't exist, but that Bushido Blade had also influenced a series of games as well.
