Are we ready for a new era of fighting vidya?

>>712364908 (OP)
Tokon is the only one that might have more than 500 players after a month.

>>712364952
>player count out of nowhere
shalom

These will all die and everyone will go back to SF6 and Tekken :/

tokon is the only one that will have staying power

>>712365051
>out of nowhere
How the fuck would it be an "era" if nobody is playing Retard-kun?

>>712365264
you're not a business kike, just retarded, carry on

>>712364908 (OP)
The more i see that pic the less i want to play them

Blazblue 2 please.

>>712364908 (OP)
I don't really much confidence in any of them yet.
>>712365750
Why? I don't want it to be become like Strive.

>>712364908 (OP)
VF and Tokon are interesting, that Invincible fighter looks poverty tier

>>712364908 (OP)
>weebshit
>expectation fell over time
>a new hope
>dogshit
>don't care
wow it's like 2016 all over again

There have been zero (0) good fighting games released after USF4.

>>712364908 (OP)
man its crazy how little i care about any of that shit

ENTER

>>712366285
Why is it always the fucking furries

>>712366269
Did you forget to throw in the word remedial in there somwhere?

>>712366285
Terribly animated

>>712366530
What?

>>712366440
>>712366539
it WILL be a discord fighter within a week and i WILL dump 1000 hours into it regardless

MvC4 waiting room.
>erm ACKSHAULLY, Capshitter, TOKON is supposed t-
Don't care. MvC4 waiting room.

>>712366703
Stages look nice but monochromatic and lacking details
Characters look ugly

>>712364908 (OP)
Why are there so many fighting games if it's a niche genre?

>>712366807
Niche = player count, not game count

>>712366539
I just remembered the skateboard kid looks real good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtiS_sWquFo

>>712366801
I like the variety

>>712366285
I do not like smash clones, they are barebones. Created and played by sweats who base their character roster on Captain Falcon, Falco, and Marth

>>712365051
Watching Riot beheading the golden goose during my lifetime gives me both profound joy and immense sadness. I'll never forgive them for killing LoR just to make a TCG that will die in less than a year. Hope they ruin LoL and Valorant as well.

Other than that, only VF and Tokon have the potential to not be a discord fighter 2 months after release. Maybe Invincible VS too, but less likely. 2XKO will literally shut down in a year, or maybe not ever release. Nobody cares about HxH. Faggots who don't understand why it's important for a fucking fighting game to have active players are forbidden from this discussion unless they can at least do 10 successful QCFs in a row.

>>712366285
>A BRAND NEW FIGHTING GAME
>its a clone of smash

>>712367069
A shoto shoto or smash players' odd definition of shoto.

>>712366285
what is the difference between this and the other furfag smash game?

All slop except VF.

>tokon
why do marketers think people like these weeb names?

people don't even say it right. like people mix up tonkatsu and tonkotsu all the time.

also tagslop isn't fun. virtua fighter has boring characters. I want new soulcalibur or blazblue or naruto 1v1 game

>>712366632
There's another guy in fighting game threads on /v/ who thinks no game after SF3 and SF4 are good.

>>712366718
>meter for nothin' and the X for free

>>712366807
because the fighting game fags get influenced every few months to buy the latest game full price + season pass. they can't even wait a few years to get it $20 like regular AAA slop

>>712365750
i refuse to buy BBC5 if pic. related isnt the new MC

>>712366807
they're really fun to make

>>712366807
A lot of companies noticed the void left by 10+ years without a (passable) MvC game and, unknown to one other, started developing games to capitalize on that all at the same time.

>>712367525
>virtua fighter has boring characters
Boohoo it has grounded martial artists representing their style instead of edgeslop winged homos and half naked bimbos fighting kangaroo and pandas :(((
>New soulcalibur
After they ran the last one straight into the ground?

So what are we down to?
Just French-Bread, SNK, and possibly Sega? Is that all that is left of decent fighting game devs?

>>712367263
It has a full roguelite mode already playable. Unless by barebones you mean roster size.

>>712367374
>>712367454
It's got directional blocking, supers and ex moves, legal stages with walls and mechanics to support walls, some kind of % mechanic, 8-way airdashes, super jumps, gatlings, magic series, parries, and a flying respawn gimmick. Calling it a Smash clone is like saying BlazBlue is a clone of Mortal Kombat, idk.

>>712367397
Ultimatefags use 'shoto' derisively to vent how they don't like fightan game protagonists being DLC characters, so I doubt they mean it in that way.

>>712367525
Search Engine Optimization.

>>712365750
Fuck that. Mori is gone and current ArkSys sucks balls.

>>712366807
DBFZ showed that with a decent enough IP as a crutch, you could make some money with a shitty tag fighter.

>>712367578
Now that ain't playin', that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya, them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb
We got to install devil trigger hypers, custom level 3 deliveries
We've got to move these box dashes we gotta move these spiral sword hitspheres

>>712364908 (OP)
>mvcfags complaining tokon fighting souls isn't like mvc and hate arcsys

its amazing what these retards demand and not be thankful for what they get

>>712367326
>Hope they ruin LoL
anon that happened since S1.
Beta had so much promise

>>712367763
yeah SC was sabotaged. if they don't fuck it up people love it
martial arts are boring

>>712367551
No clue who that is, but he's basically right.
Only difference (and I should've added this to my original post) is that CotW is a great game that plays with a pace similar to/between those two, except that its combos all feel the same.

>>712367326
Fuck you LoR deserved the fate it got. Shitty ass game with shit balancing and baffling champ design.

>>712364908 (OP)
first 2 look like hot garbage idk about the rest though

>>712364908 (OP)
Is Invincible still popular enough to cash in on the IP itself?
Feels like it came a couple years too late.

Fighting games are boring

>>712370756
It's perfect for a live service model honestly. Kirkman is a great businessman and he could use it to promote his comics and his show. It has multiple seasons and they can revise the game at any point.

>>712366807
pinnacle of game design
easy to design and program

>>712367326
based lor was fun

I'm really excited for tokon, I actually like strive and granblue a good amount but the competition and sane playerbase aren't there

>>712364908 (OP)
Only interested in Marvel Token and VF6, and neither have had gameplay showcases yet so who knows how they're gonna end up like.

>>712364908 (OP)
>tagslop
>tagslop

Shit era

>>712371265
>but the competition and sane playerbase aren't there
And you think that will change with Tokon because...?

>>712371513
western IP + marvel legacy helps draw in more of the normal audience to drown out that shit, it's always going to be there but other games don't have it as bad

>>712367525
>naruto 1v1 game
it's cursed to be a 3v3 game because of the teams

>>712373869
Then make a KoF clone or something, idk

The BoondockZ when

I hope tokon makes all the marvel girls extremely hot

>>712364908 (OP)

I have zero faith in the Invincible game. The characters just don't match up well for a fighting game and the fact that Rex even showed up in the trailer ruins everything in the continuity the moment you will start playing as him against a Viltrumite.

I'm aware you could make a similar claim for any Dragon Ball title with the likes of Mr. Satan, but Invincible is pretty fucking grim enough to be completely bleak in tone to not overlook that sort of thing generally.

Pic related and Dokon will be all i play for another year or so when it releases.

>>712364908 (OP)
Why did the old sf and mvc fgc heads hated anime players? And how do they feel now?

>>712366269
>don't care
its the best fighter on the list though?

>>712364908 (OP)
>2xko releasing next to Tokon
MVCI incoming

>>712364908 (OP)
Needs more spiders but Nen Impact is the only one I'm interested in
>>712367326
Best selling manga in all of Japan last batch

>>712364952
I’m giving VF6 a chance to do well long term. Rest of them are DOA

>>712365074
>he thinks Tokon will flop
retard

>>712371472
best era but casuals can't hang

ms marvel a cutie I hope she's a lesbian

>>712382145
love tekken 8, very good game

I'm trans btw

0/3, impressive

>>712383352
I already know you haven't played either but humor me: how are those games not good?

>>712382985
She likes infidel meat

>>712383474
French bread are the only ones who are still brave enough to have cute girls in their games

>>712364908 (OP)
>Are we ready for a new era of fighting vidya?
no, I'm gonna ride the turd strike bus till I'm dead

>>712383509
XV has horrible balance, the movement is sluggish, characters still have less moves than 02 UM, and EX moves being standalone just ruins the strategy and balance even more because now every character has a 0.5 bar launcher, invincible reversal or ground/wall bounce

COTW just looks ugly as fuck and is full of slimeshit and messy rev combo spam, its a bad game and nobody plays it

>>712366285
Looking forward to this game, but platform fighters are an even more cursed genre than regular fighters, and I don't have a lot of optimism that this game will retain a strong playerbase regardless of its quality.

>>712366807
fighting game devs bank on the novelty sales of "new game just released!" and the hype of marketing to make back their money
they dont care about player count

>>712366807
Can be done with a low budget. Riot had a big budget but they’re just dumb.

is it normal to be 200 hours into a game and not have a main

>>712387524
Yes.
Some games have too many fun characters to focus on just one and not feel like you're missing out.
Happens to me in GBVS

>>712387939
GBVS is simple enough, characters play mostly the same so it's not a problem or nothing special, I also play lots of characters there

I've never do that in a hard game like BB though, just to learn one it takes ages

>>712383686
Horniest game is easily Granblue. UNI is fucking safe horny slop

>>712387524
I have almost 100 hours in blazblue and don't have a main. None of the characters click with me.

>>712364908 (OP)
add a new blazblue and Good God, we would eat delicious

>>712366285
Looks more like a party game to me.

>>712391107
You're right. There's too much neutral and too much technical movement. Where's the drive rush? Where's the drive impact?

>>712376909
The world isn't cool enough for that.

>>712392039
Not playing your furshit. Go find some more CRTs to hoard.

my pie in the sky game is still a actual Final Fantasy 2d 1v1 airdasher. no tagslop no disshittia no eirgays. a real fighting game. and instead of every FF game geting (MC) and (Antagonist) they actually make unique and nuanced picks for the roster. while taking ever thing into account like overal character popularity, archetype representation, unique character abilities, and throw a few "left field" characters so it would give it some extra soul. it could be something like Granblue except with FF characters with plenty of heart and soul packed into it. fun extra game modes and their library of sniffs with plenty of alt costumes to nickel n dime us with. it could be kino. just imagining makes my mouth water. it really is too bad Arc is slowly turning their back on us with capeslop tagkuso. we need a new hero to step up and take advantage of SE's desperation after so many concurrent flops

>>712388668
Granblue's horniness goes both ways because it's a gacha with a sizeable fujo audience.

>>712364908 (OP)
how much would you bet that 2xko will be DoA?

>>712393698
>one funny dog guy = the game is furshit (does that make Tekken furry?)
>game that's PC-only somehow requires CRTs
You're not making sense. In fact you may be delusional.

>>712394050
didn't ask dogfucker go suck mango's dick or something

>>712393940
I mean outside of the handful of all female rosters most fighting games are pretty equal opportunity. I remember all the bearded Ryu thirst posting from roasties on one end and bitching about Chun-li swimsuits on the other in Jive. Grub is just unique in that it has that gacha sexualization (and even then its hardly the most extreme version of it).
UNI2 designs are pretty safe overall. They have a clean look to them that's pretty appealing but its retarded to say its the only game with cute girls.

>>712394004
$0 if only because its F2P. It will have a huge day one audience, potentially the biggest of the bunch (and easily the biggest if they do some tie in with LoL).
The question is retention. Marvel is going to just win that contest outright and VF6 will likely hit second place. How many people are going to stick with a 10 character kusoge, especially if they don't start cranking out characters as fast as possible?

>>712394218
I can't imagine getting this mad and spastic over a game that's no threat at all to the mainstream.

>>712391069
The best case scenario is Arcsys never touching Blazblue again, it would only be a downgrade from CF. Mori isn't there anymore so storyfags also don't have any reason to want a new one.

>>712395654
they said they will, as soon as they finish supporting Strive til the end of its life. CEO said he doesn't want two of their fighting game IPs to compete against itself.
be prepared.

>>712395654
they literally said there is interest in continuing blazblue. you're getting a new one soon bro and yeah it'll be striveslop

>>712364908 (OP)
Invincible looks like MK9 in the worst way
