WTF, it's the weekend again!

>>713818735 (OP)
Hoping to get some good sessions in this weekend to grind for pic related.
Maybe I'll see some of you down here in the mariana trench (I'm hella garbage).

Leona sexo

>>713819013
I wonder how often I have played people from /v/ or /gbvsg/ without knowing it.
I hope you faggots are not ragequitting on me.

>>713821012
I run it back and take the L if it comes.
I'm definitely not a salty fighter.
Although I'll bully myself after I play like shit.

>>713821235
Yeah, I am more or less the same.
I won't deny I get salty at certain characters but a set is a set. The only time I don't rematch is if the match was laggy as fuck (as in, 5 or more rollback frames)
>pic
Holy...

>wanna play something less played like Uni2 or BBCF
>shit at them and need to lab
>don't wanna bother looking for matches
they should make these games but with more players

you should all try the most dead fg ever made. fuck sega.

>>713821750
With bbcf just go to player rooms and make or join one

>>713821750
You can't make those games with more players because those games specifically have lower players because only a very tiny minority want to play and deal with them. The only anime games with "more players" like you want would be strive and granblue.

I know it basically just came out, but I was hoping City of the Wolves would get like, a 10% discount during the sale...

>>713822353
Debatable honestly, those games came out long before strive or granblue and only started being played on pc and online at similar times to strive. Easy games appeal to a wider audience but the fighting game audience isn’t as small as some make it out to be. A large portion of players in strive still don’t know everything about it and play it because it’s the newest game of the gg/bb series. If bbcf came out today it’d probably get more than Granblue.

>>713822454
>City of the Kino
This game seems way more underappreciated than it deserves, why? Truly it's not a bad game.

>>713822925
For me, it's too expensive for too few characters. The two obnoxious real life celebs capping it off was the final straw for me.

>>713822353
>>713822914
I was distracted, pretend I only said Blazblue. Uni is always niche but it’s good too. Bbcf consistently getting 300 player peaks in 2025 is enough to make me think it’d near strive.

>>713821012
I never ragequit.

>>713823452
Based.

>>713822925
It's kinda ugly and lacks visual polish
Gameplay is grounded footsies but with too many technical elements for casualss
Janky betas and guests soured a lot of the people interested in it

>>713821235
Zeta is such a babe

>>713819013
Guess I'll be on the hunt for Zeta players this weekend, assuming you're grinding it out on ranked. (I'm also bad.)

>>713824474
I HATE Beatrix
Not that guy btw

>>713824474
>I'm also bad
mfw we're all bad at fightans

>>713825182
I love her. Her personality and gameplay fit like a glove.

It was too hot during the last few days and I'm too tired for fighting games because of it. I want to go to sleep right now, see you tomorrow.

>>713826076
God I wish these were real outfits you could play with in the game

>>713825469
I would be more hype for the future of Strive if Jap devs weren't literal aliens incapable of understanding humans on a fundamental level

>>713826182
actually she won. The nigger bastard surrendered and hit her when she lowered her guard. Typical dishonorable black behavior. Bravo daisuke

>>713826315
Yeah I wish they'd add more skins in general.

>>713826076
Starting off with a bit of a losing record today. Honestly though the presentation of Granblue makes it a lot of fun. I at least have a mini Bea there to cheer me on as I'm grinding it out.

>>713825469
>no strive news in the arcsys direct
>no lucy
>no balance patch in view
at least with the tower I can just refuse to play some of the characters

shut up grubblers nobody cares about your temu game

>>713827342
lucy news is on the 4th but it's an anime expo thing with the edgerunner staff so don't expect anything related to the core game. Lots "eeeeeeeeeeh sugoi" bullshit

>>713827429
Seethe

>>713827616
I'm more interested about the balance patch, some Lucy news would have been nice because it'd at least have been more than fuckall

I care, I asked

>>713827945

>>713818735 (OP)
Lobbies?
I'm not really good at any of these I just wanna play something

>>713828406
I can play Strive if you're NA

>>713828406
my man got all the games without neutral or fundamentals

>>713828735
He also has +R so it evens out

>>713828735
Fundamentals are propaganda by the big shoto so you eat more cr.MK

looking for melty
lobby 7618

Is it just me or is SFVI the hardest fighting game out of the main 3? I mean mentally, Strive and Tekken - you can play your own game and your opponent just has to TAKE THAT TAKE THAT. Street Fighter? If you're not respecting your opponent, you can easily get fucking screwed over to death. You don't have any really "safe" options in neutral nor corner everything feels like a risk. It's weird when people say this game is pretty easy. I can't imagine other SF games. Must be harder.

>>713821012
You should play with /vg/. The gbvsr general regularly hosts tournaments

>>713828513
Yeah I'm NA so we can play
>>713828735
I have SF6 installed but I just don't find it fun, willing to give it another shot tho

>>713828735
i don't give a shit about nooch

>>713829478
>You should play with /vg/.
dont do this

>>713829489

Woohoo, I'm game too. EC37! :D

>Yeah I'm NA so we can play
Alright I'm on the phone right now, gimme 5 minutes bro

>>713828735
Hey man a sale is a sale.

Street Fighter refugee here, what FF game should I pick up before getting Cotw?

>>713829898
Oh I personally like FFV, FFVII, FFX and I have a soft spot for FFXVI

>>713829828
>>713829802
>>713829489

>>713830161
Who is this…

>>713830378
Bea from Granblue, DLC character who plays like a gorilla (Sol Badguy with that DnF Duel boss guy's time gimmick)

>>713830378

>>713829349
>You don't have any really "safe" options in neutral nor corner everything feels like a risk.
90% of the normals are safe, or have enough pushback to be safe if you aren't retarded about it
Drive rush cancel can't be contested and has to be called out
Offense in this game is braindead and you're rewarded with meter to apply it all the time.

The game is "hard" because it's extremely stupid in the way it structures its offense while leaving you without any defensive options.

>no SNK games on sale
what gives? i wanted to buy samurai shodown

wait fuck i think i fucked rematch settings....let me fix this after LOL

>>713829349
Safe in what way? A lot of normals are at least safe, and drive rush gives you plus frames that can be gapless.

>>713829898
COTW doesn't really meaningfully play like any other FF game, it just has nominal similarities to MOTW while not really playing similarly on a fundamental level. Basically the one major commonality is that they both have Just Defend but COTW JDs don't even give you frame advantage, they're just for guard cancels (which were in MOTW but were a secondary or tertiary aspect of JD) and not-Drive Gauge replenishment

I wish they had made a new Real Bout instead...

>>713831141
It's okay bwo it happens

>>713827429
You gonna seethe when Season 3 is announced?

>>713832282
Tikoh for season 3!

>>713829489
Don’t worry SF6 unironically has less neutral than Strive

>>713832282
And what are you gonna do when it isn't?

>>713832282
Know who'd be a good guest?

>>713831493
I wish they made Mai real

>>713832768
...keep playing with the Season 1 and 2 characters?

I don't know about guys, but I think Ryu and Ken need another five pages of buffs

>>713830161
I love this retard

>>713833120
Capcom hire this man

>>713833280
They already have, judging by the recent balance update

>>713832768
Siete isn’t in the game. There’s 100% going to be a season 3

>take Shiranui Mai
>add her to a game
>game instantly becomes 10 times better
It really is that simple.

is spectator mode still broken in strive damn

>>713833395
They really gave Ryu a railgun I can’t believe it

>tfw you break a barrier

>>713833896
Based.
Keep it up m8

>>713833658
I think the surefire way is making sure you're in spectate before it starts

>strive "gameplay"

>>713834491
much more technical shit is happening there then in grubbleshit

They should add Song in season 3...

>>713834491
I'm gonna make a phonewave and tell past Daisuke that Potemkin must never be allowed to be good ever.

>>713834561
>Grub out of nowhere
Obsessed

>>713833509
lol

>>713830324
Room is still on and has 3 people in it if anyone wants to play

>>713834491
Poor dizzy, she cant catch a break..

>>713834491
She's so fucking shit, I'm losing my mind playing her
She can be +0 on knockdown because they just cobbled the frozen state together with spaghetti code. So hitting H Michael Sword too early in frozen doesn't give you the +60 HKD for whatever reason.

>>713834832
He's so broken in several areas I don't even mind Giganter beating other projectiles supers

>>713835397
Versus was dead in a ditch a month after it came out. Rising has had a much more consistent playerbase.
There will be a season 3. Period

Why did they enshitify Mai in the recent game by making her look like just another black-haired, black-eyed rice munching Nippon bug person?

>>713834491
Giganter Kai is a seriously fucked up move in Strive, but I think it's at least fucked up in a funny way. Taken in a vacuum I think this interaction is just amusing, it's only really bad in the light that Potemkin is such a nigger in every respect right now.

>>713836703
To his defense, it did not get buffed in S4

>>713833538

Reminder Cammy is rapeable because a clone...she has no right.
100% Rapeable imagine

Horses will fund season 3 of Granblue
Trust the plan
Trust Golshi

>>713838612
I wish the other horses weren't so boring

>>713838550
Not my Cammy.

>>713838705

last game for me bros, i can leave the lobby open

>>713836423
And yet Versus sold better than Rising. You are delusional if you think Rising is getting a S3 with Tokon on the way, especially since Pachi left Rising for Tokon.

>>713838705
based killer bee appreciator
Alpha was peak

>>713839235
Because Versus came with goodies for gachafujos. It still died in a month while Rising keeps selling DLC

Anyone excited for League ol fightan?

>>713840042
lol

>>713839901
Rising came with goodies too. Versus had no rollback or crossplay, yet it sold better than Rising, despite having fucking 11 characters at launch for $60

>>713840042
I am, in that it's a new fighter and it's literally free so might as well try it
That about it tho

>>713840042
>tag
no

>>713818735 (OP)
Fighting games are for fujoshis

>>713840256
Because Granblue gacha has lost steam over the last five years which is why Cygames has focused so hard on making different stuff. Doesn’t change the fact that Rising’s season passes sell better than the Versus DLC

>>713840585
>Doesn’t change the fact that Rising’s season passes sell better than the Versus DLC
And where are you getting those numbers from?

>>713840403
>tag
I mean...i can handle a 2 tag fightans like old marvel vs games or a 3 characters-kof style...this new marvel vg seems very confusing.

>>713840507
If true NOT kino

>>713840668
Extrapolation from Steam data. There are basically zero spikes for Versus upon DLC character releases outside of Narmaya (the first release), whereas there is a noticeable bump with every Rising DLC character.

>>713839371
It really was. I know SFIII has better animations, but as far as I'm concerned, Alpha series are the best looking 2D Street Fighter games.

>>713840042
I'm not putting anything by Riot on my PC

>>713841057
NTA and Alpha has a fantastic artstyle but Dudley is my king and his game will always be the best looking one to me.

>>713829343
ggs allow me to selfishly leave on a win before you download my satsuki
but next time we play you can start with wara hehehe
just don't pick roastbeef cuz I can't combo her for shit and that fucking jumping normal wrecks me
but seriously thanks for the games, I waited almost an hour for a match >_>

>>713829343
lobby closed

>>713829343
ggs. be careful with the range on 623A, you were whiffing them quite a bit. also for mix you can do charge 5C high/low (full charge vs half charge into 2C)

>>713840939
In other word's you're simply pulling numbers out of your ass.

>>713841553
tried it one or two times but you blocked anyways, you even blocked the cross ups wtf
I think the only time I ever mixed you high low was the very first game or so vs maids

>>713841553
You fucking think you are so smart tossing around that other nigga that plays like lvl4 cpu shut the fuck up

>>713841790
>Erhhrumgumumum, you see I am the bigger fish with the more irrelevant opinion! Despite nobody asking. You HAVE to know what I thi-

Shut the fuck up indeed.
Crawl back under your rock you background character ass. Nobody asked you shit nigger.

>>713841682
also yeah I know I whiffed the grab but it was more like 1/3 whiff 2/3 landed and those 2/3 won me games and I seriously cannot compete with your air game it's crazy how good it is
like the only ways I can think of dealing with your maids or ryesebefts was get the grab or wait for you to dash in and do the dp, but I was to scared to do the latter

>>713841934
looks a bit cramped, but comfy nonetheless

>>713841553
oh wait I'm actually retarded I read C and immediately thought j.C because that's the one I'm always charging for combos and mix
yeah now that I remember charged 5C is in fact an overhead
completely forgot about that
but that's a move I'm always scared to throw out unless by mistake because I'm always whiffing it like a retard

>>713841334
Fair enough.
Dudley is peak GENTLEMAN

If someone wants to play BlazBlue let me know.

>>713821012
I sometimes one and done. But never rage quit. That's a dick move.

>>713841659
No I can actually interpret data. Don’t get your panties twisted when Season 3 is announced

>>713841486
>that fucking jumping normal wrecks me
if you mean jB, it's a strong spacing button but the hitbox is really thin so you can challenge with rising jA or jC from above.
as for her jC is just a regular jump in. the uncharged hitbox isn't even that good, having a sizeable amount of unprotected green diagonally in front of her. charged version is disjointed but can be beaten with rising jA

>>713841682
idk if you were doing the setup wrong but the j44>jC vs empty 2A felt pretty obvious and fuzzyable. you could try her left/right mix

>>713842852
Pulling numbers out of your ass is useless data. No shit the game with an actual playable online has higher online peaks retard.
Please rope yourself when S3 isn't announced, but make sure to livestream it, and do a backflip off the chair.

>>713843476
Not that guy but why does the prospect of a Season 3 make you seethe this hard?
Are you a disgruntled OG Versus fan?

>>713843181
damn rising j.A is pretty good then
I used it a bit but mostly trying to meet your buttons air to air instead of coming from below with a rising j.A

What went wrong with KI '13? Barely anyone talks about it but the people who do swear by it. Was it the fact it was an Xbone exclusive for years? Was it the retarded payment model?

Can't go to AX so hopefully they just release a proper trailer for Izumi and have a stream running with Kamone playing randoms.

>>713842180
the range on 5C doesn't seem too bad. so long as you do it early on in the string, it should be fine.

>>713841926
against kohaku the airgame isn't really in her favor and she needs proper positioning to take advantage of her buttons. koha jB and jC lose when you're at the same height as her and she is really vulnerable to cross unders cuz of jC's huge deadzone.

>>713843819
when going air-to-air jB is usually the better choice cuz it has a bigger disjoint. the strength of jA is the startup and aiming upward

>>713843720
1. Yes, I am a disgruntled OG fan
2. I gave the game a chance, but they barely patch the fucking game. It took 14 months for the retards to make the guard cancel -ob.
3. The season pass picks are hot garbage. If they're not going to just fill the game with popular characters, then at least go with cool, but not really popular picks. Not shit you tried to push hard but they ended up not being popular
4. 66L
5. I'm a realist

>>713844258
also here's the air button comparison.

>>713843990
man the KI trailers got me so hyped for the xbone
and then I just got a ps4 because my friend got one, sad but honestly for the best
so yeah I'd say that everyone avoiding the xbone was the reason this game bombed so hard

>>713834491
projectiles persisting on hit is kino

>>713842647

>>713844440
>this game bombed so hard
It got 10mil players bro

>>713844925
really? didn't know
I swear I never heard anyone talk about this game after the xbone launch
except for when the japanese ghost got release, that got some traction online

Playing fightan games while high y/n?

>>713844925
wasn't it free to play or smth? also funniest thing was them mentioning how less than 5% (or was it even less?) had played a single online match.

>>713844925
>>713845074
Wasn't it given away with XBL Gold and later went F2P though?

>>713845074
Anon, why do think the Combo Breaker tourney is called Combo Breaker?

>>713845226
No for me.
Could barely concentrate.

>>713845320
because the old killer instict is an important game that everyone loves? or is it seriously named after the 2013 one? if so mind = blown

>>713843990
>Orchid on a fucking NINTENDO console
>wears some kind of thong leotard, always showing her bare, fat ass
>Orchid on Xbox
>wearing some kind of booty shorts
Man, what a downgrade.
I'm not saying -that- is the reason I didn't play it, I just find it very odd.

>>713845267
>>713845305
It was an XBLA game, so buy-to-play, then it later went limited F2P and finally it was added to game pass.

>>713845335
That's where I'm at too but I had to ask.
Hope that stranger enjoyed the 1000% free win!

>>713844921
make the room please idk how to make a private room

>>713844376
>The season pass picks are hot garbage. If they're not going to just fill the game with popular characters, then at least go with cool, but not really popular picks. Not shit you tried to push hard but they ended up not being popular
Are you dumb? After Uno basically every character picked has been a popular one in the gacha or a popular one in the Versus specific polls.

>street fighter routing
>you are +6 so you press the 6f button and keep linking stuff until you're out of plus frames
>anime routing
>you have so many options so you route into whatever bullshit until your opponent falls asleep
why is there no middle ground

>>713831107
They had a big sale a week or two ago. Still, sometimes companies run back a sale later in the big Steam sales.

>>713845690
It's called street fighter four
You need anime reflexes and you don't get plus frames for free

>>713845442
2013-14 was when all the Anita Sarkesian stuff started gaining traction in the gaming industry and studios started listening to tumblr/Twitter posters so it sort of makes sense. 1994 was still when games had crossover appeal with kids and teenagers who bought XTREME comics with enormous roided up dudes and girls with Psylocke proportions in leotards

>>713845397
Yes, it's named after 2013 KI. My memory might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure KI was the main game for CB2015.

Vane and Wilnas are in popular groups, sure, but just like Uno, they aren't popular characters. And Meg is a character they've been trying to shill lately to no success. Instead of those fags, why not at least complete the popularity poll and add Aliza and Silva?

do sf6 dlc characters ever go on sale?

oh you’re one of those retards, maybe in season 3 lmao

>>713846186
>>713846302
Not being a gachafag is kind of a blessing when it comes to Rising.
All I know about Meg is that she's hot and she wears a thong leotard. Incidentally, that's all it takes for me to like a character. I am looking forward to her release.

>>713846302
Yes, I want the girl with the big gun, sue me, but the retards could've at least added Aliza. Instead we get barashit for the fire-based martial artist, great. And you are delusional if you think Meg is popular.
>>713846416
Ignorance is bliss.

>>713846416
She’s a decently popular character in the gacha actually. She got two SSRs not long after her event.

>>713845971
Oh yeah... Anita
Goddamn, where does the time go

>>713846612
Meg is popular lol. You can cope and sneed all you want, it doesn’t change that fact. And Aliza is only popular with Versus fags Wilnas is probably more popular with gachafags which is why he got in over her.
It’s also why you’re more likely to see Wamdus over Silva.

>>713846106
Don't fucking jump against him unless it's with purpose he has the single most reliable anti air in the entire game
Just kill him when you block the overhead followup off of fuujin because it's extremely minus
Same with the low but it's only -7 or -8 which means 2k 2d
Also occasionally contesting after blocking fuujin is ok because a lot of the followups have gaps, especially if the Anji delays them
Speaking of fuujin, please just block low if you're not going to contest because the overhead is really not that rewarding, it's like a worse throw, hop is punishable by throw on reaction and the projectile is also heavily punishable on read and generally punishable on reaction depending on range while the low will catch you doing a lot of things and gives good rewards
Spin is throwable, just throw him if you see him do that
The fish move Anji can do after he spins a move has invul and is plus, you have to block it and hope you guess right in the strike/throw
His general oki is kinda weak, if he knocks you down it's a strike throw even on a HKD with the projectile. Speaking of the projectile oki, he does have answers for it but generally it has gaps you can mash out of unless he's looking out for them
He has to spend burst or give up his entire combo to bait bursts and you can always get a guaranteed burst during combos if you do it after kou which is the anti air or after fuujin. Don't bother bursting after a fuujin unless it was a charged one ie after a spin because the combo will end soon though, unless he might break the wall
A lot of his pokes are 6P'able or slow apart from 2S
If you want I can give character specific tips too

Never played the gacha but they should put Andira in Rising.

>>713846882
Another anti Anji tip is that you can actually RC after Anji spins your move which means he can't punish anything. Granted, if you're on fish range it can still be in his favor but if you're not you are generally advantaged on top of just nullifying a guaranteed punish. Also the fish itself can be whiff punished if Anji gauged the distance wrong or was going for the fish regardless of the RC and you were out of range, it's not invul for a whole year with no recovery frames

>>713846776
And where is exactly is Meg popular? She gets no art, has no doujins, her CD barely sold, where is she popular?
>And Aliza is only popular with Versus fags
And that's reason enough to add her, considering the game is mostly played by straight males, and not fujos.
>Wamdus
She's a harvin bro, the game's already met it's Harvin quota back in Versus.

>>713845690
Anon that middle ground is strive. Hell now that I think about it strive being that middleground of speed, routing and ease(and looking the way it does) is probably why it kept and attracted as much players as it didMe included. Never thought I'd see fucking punk play GG.

>And where is exactly is Meg popular? She gets no art, has no doujins, her CD barely sold, where is she popular?
By that logic more draphs than Narmaya are popular too. She has multiple SSRs despite being an event character.
>And that's reason enough to add her, considering the game is mostly played by straight males, and not fujos.
The only character that appeared high on Versus polls despite having zero presence in gacha polls was Anila. Aliza, Silva, and Jeanne all have appeared on the Versus polls for years but they have exactly zero presence in the gacha. You know who has presence in the gacha? Ilsa and Galleon. That's the requirement to get in.
>She's a harvin bro, the game's already met it's Harvin quota back in Versus.
She's also one of the most popular female characters in the game and can fly. She's the most obvious pick for season 3 outside of Siete.

I really can’t see how any enjoyment in playing a returning character in strive. They’re such a direct downgrade from their past versions I actually get bored while playing them. Crazy too that they went and made Happy Chaos and Asuka actually be fun to play after that so what’s the point of making the base roster that boring?

Strive and GG in general always had way shorter than average combo lengths, what are you on about

>>713847728
>By that logic more draphs than Narmaya are popular too. She has multiple SSRs despite being an event character.
What draph has more art, doujins and CDs sold than Narmaya?
Narmaya is popular because the player base likes her. Meg 'appears' to be popular because the devs keep trying to push her. They stopped the DG valentine art tradition this year and replaced with art of Meg and her dyke. If that isn't obvious shilling, then I don't know what is.
>The only character that appeared high on Versus polls despite having zero presence in gacha polls was Anila. Aliza, Silva, and Jeanne all have appeared on the Versus polls for years but they have exactly zero presence in the gacha. You know who has presence in the gacha? Ilsa and Galleon. That's the requirement to get in.
Okay, and where is Uno, Meg and Wilnas' presence in the gacha?
>She's also one of the most popular female characters in the game and can fly. She's the most obvious pick for season 3 outside of Siete.
Harvin quota. I would've taken her or Niyon over fucking Wilnas or Meg, but the quota forbade it from happening.

>>713846106
Let him do dumb shit.
Spin can be thrown especially if you have a good dash. It also doesn't kill 2Ps, so depending on your character this can be a decent option because at worst you eat a mix instead of a full punish.
Walk back to create space if you can, his 2S is good but he's slow, and going straight into Nagiha is risky.

It's worth sometimes giving up your oki to bait his parry, just make sure you don't stand in throw range.

Kou can be swatted out of the air if you have like a fast jS, but you can also air throw the recovery to secure a knockdown rather than trying to clumsily 6P/cS it.

His pressure is annoying because he can keep it vague (eg. Fuujin > Nothing as a reset, Spin instead of Charged Fuujin for another reset), this is the part where there isn't really an answer other than guessing right.

Posting some really mediocre vs Anji gameplay because that's all I have on hand.

>>713848248
Ah, sorry, keep getting BlazBlue PTSD flashbacks

>>713848053
Simple: for most people playing they aren't returning characters. And for them that's fine because frankly most people also have no interest in learning ultra complex characters to begin with.

The only difference between strive and uni combos is that uni’s are long because they have a lot of hits while strive’s are long because they have wallsplat into a long ass super cutscene into a wall break cutscene.

>>713848447
Anon what is wrong with you, time is a completely measurable metric and a long combo involving a super and a wallbreak in strive is STILL shorter than the average UNI combo without even adding a super or a BB corner combo of any kind for example. That is also ignoring SF games having two hour long cutscenes as supers sometimes (definitely the case in 6) or any Tekken combo in a Tekken game released after DR
Like it's not even a discussion, why are you even trying to push this fake ass narrative

>>713848471

>It also doesn't kill 2Ps
Anything with a low recovery and projectiles in general too

>>713848363
>What draph has more art, doujins and CDs sold than Narmaya?
None, that's my point. Aliza (and Draphs in general) are only popular with secondaries. Galleon is like the first titcow since Narmaya to make it big.
>Uno
He's what caused the shift from Versus to Rising in how it handled characters. He is the last "no one gives a fuck" character to be added.
>Harvin quota. I would've taken her or Niyon over fucking Wilnas or Meg, but the quota forbade it from happening.
You keep saying this but there is no such thing. There are a decent number of popular female Harvins and the only thing holding them back is the height issues. Wamdus avoids the height issues because she flies, ontop of being an extremely popular character.

>>713848642
Only if you’re fighting Carmine or Londrekia and they freeze you. I’ve played both I ain’t making it up.

>>713848447
Strive's combos are not NEARLY as long as UNIs. Or Blazblue's or +R's for that matter, even with le cutscenes.

>>713848479
To be fair Meg doesn't know that Mari wants to be her tradwife yet.

>>713848429
A lot of the stuff they removed wasn’t even complex, it was just more stuff for the character to do that made them fun. Happy Chaos with fire would be more confusing to a new player than a directly ported Sol from +R. I referred to their previous versions, but my problem isn’t necessarily that they’re different from that, but that they’re insanely boring versions of theirselves. Sol went from rushdown and yolo reversals and mixups with a low skill floor and high skill ceiling for his combos to “Press S until they get hit”. Some of the dlc also does this like Dizzy and I hear Venom, while Slayer came through well enough, and Happy Chaos and Asuka feel like they’re proper guilty gear characters, creative concepts and require thought to use. It almost feels like they cut so many moves because they cut corners with the budget on the base roster.

>>713848818
>If
Lond doesn't even need to have his ice before the combo to guarantee the freeze and Carmine builds enough meter during a combo to always finish it the optimal way which is honestly pretty stupid
And no you have to be fucking retarded to imply only those two have combos longer than GG characters and not literally every single character simply because how combo structures work in that game
This is even ignoring the fact that you get long combos off of projectile hits or 2a hits in UNI2 whereas in Strive that's not really the case

>>713848447
>>713848818
>You use super and wall break after every hit in Strive
?

>>713849081
I never cared for May before Strive, what did she even play like?

>>713849081
>to “Press S until they get hit”.
Yes that's what people want. Again most people look at anime fighting game characters and their brains just shut down. The whacky character specific mechanics that make anime fighters unique are also what makes people not want to touch them with a ten foot pole. Strive gutting every character to the studs is what people want out of modern fighters. And frankly, even a gutted and raped Strive character still has more unique character stuff than anyone in SF6.

This genre sucks lol

>>713849227
+R May played like release May
Rev2 May had weird setplay with hoops altering dolphin usage which really made everyone who cared about May in the past drop her and anyone who decided on char design alone to not really stick with her

>>713822027
I've actually been playing REVO quite a bit recently, it's a lot of fun even if I sort of suck at it

ok its 3 am ima head out ggs

>>713849478
hey thanks man

what is the best pad for fighting games?
>inb4 use stick/leverless
both hurt my hand

>>713849081
>Sol went from rushdown and yolo reversals
That's also Strive Sol. The only difference is you had a 2D that evaded everything.
>Muh combos
I don't know how that ever matters in a discussion but he unironically has more options and more execution heavy options than Xrd so this is again null unless we're ignoring the actual last entry in the series to talk about +R.
You guys have really weird conceptions about past entries and how you played them.

>>713848853
They’re much longer than the average +R combo you’ll see in a real match, what are you smoking? They only manage to be as long as the average uni combo counting the cutscenes. You feel like it’s not as long because it’s in a cutscene so the timer doesn’t go down. To me it’s still boring. I can tell when someone’s never played the games they’re talking about because they don’t know the difference between guilty gear and hnk. I play strive too so don’t get offended, I might like it more if you didn’t spend more time waiting than playing.

they better add damon and baby to strive

>>713848784
Yeah bro, all those secondaries making art, buying her CDs and rolling her units. A second popular titcow only just recently emerging is simply a testament to Narmaya's organic popularity.
>He's what caused the shift from Versus to Rising in how it handled characters
What shift? Uno was simply FKHR being a fucking idiot, then negating half the reason Uno was added two characters later.
>You keep saying this but there is no such thing
I know, I'm simply joking because I find it funny that game only has two Harvins. I prefer Niyon over Wamdus personally, plus I don't think they'll dump 3 of the 6D into the game, at least not that quickly. The fact we're getting 2 dragons back-to-back is retarded as it is.

do you faggots just play cringe anime troon kusoge like guilty queer or do you actually play anything good?

>>713849631
not before the bubble bobble dragons

>>713849386
This. People look at +R like its the fucking Akashic Records but the character mechanics aren't THAT weird outside of Zappa. The complexity comes from things like all the character specific combos and general execution difficulty. Its a rich game but I can see why people are easily intimidated by it.
It was Blazblue when they started going nuts with character specific gimmicks, something that carried over to Xrd.

>>713849456
I played the Revo beta and while I didn't buy it cause I knew it was about to get slapped with discord fighter status I do understand why VFfags go nuts about it. Unless VF6 is fucked up bad in some way I'll definitely play it.

>>713848757
>Anything with a low recovery

Really spacing dependant, I wouldn't rely too much on projectiles in spin range

>>713849081
>Dizzy
Dizzy was never going to be identical due to the fact Strive does not have 25 meter options
They still tried to make her a unique archetype with Wings of Light being some kind of checkmate that will melt you on block if it succeeds
>Venom
Venom only lost ball formations and Teleport,
He also gained a command throw that has the unique attribute of freezing RISC while you're juggling people, and always leading into the corner with no burst allowed (optionally going into a wallbreak)

>>713849584
>They’re much longer than the average +R combo you’ll see in a real match, what are you smoking?
I like how people try to blow smoke like this as if the argument isn't based on easy to check things.
Most supers in +R unironically last longer to be actionable than Strive, like HPB which is a notoriously long one now. Some characters, most notoriously Venom and A.B.A got to just keep going on and on forever but combos in both +R and Strive are really short by fighting game standards.
Also, why are we even comparing it to +R when the last game in the franchise wasn't that, no I know you weren't the one to suggest it

>>713849870
You will never fit in
You will never be welcome

whats up with you guys

>>713849584
This is just me but I genuinely can't think of an overdrive in Strive that has an egregiously long cutscene outside of Heavenly Potemkin Buster and Zansei Rouga

>>713849849
>That's gonna be character specific but I don't think there are many moves since fish is 10f
Yeah I guess, but it also depends on when you hit it if it has good active frames with how the stupid spin calculations work.
>Really spacing dependant, I wouldn't rely too much on projectiles in spin range
Spin doesn't move a lot and the fish is barely more than 5p range, it's really easy to gauge at what ranges you can not only get away with it but also have an advantage over him because he'll be stuck on the spin animations but you won't. The said range is practically 2/3rds of the screen.

>>713850021
I watched a jiyuna video a couple years ago saying she was easy and good so that sold me on her
I also tried the hat girl uhm not izayoi the other one she doesn't feel as strong as mu, but she's just as fun

>>713850064
Dizzy also has a really long one but that's a fucking 100 meter option.

You know I never see any Tekken lobbies ever on here LOL. does anyone want to play tekken

>>713849668
I'm with you on the dragons but maybe they thought "hey we want a brawler character but this season pass would be Sandy and four women so lets make one a man" so they settled on Wilnas.
I do agree that doing ANOTHER dragon in a potential season 3 would be a bit of an eyeroll but I think Wamdus really is too popular to just ignore.
My copium for Aliza is that she'll be a dual character with Stan. Yes I know Drang and Strum would be way more likely for that but I chose to live in delusion

>>713850225
Tekken 8 really made a lot of people drop the game

I know they did some kind of emergency patch somewhat recently, did that give anyone the impression that they might fix the game? Constant 50/50s do sound tiresome.

>>713848975
doesn't matter when gachas rarely do love triangles and NTR, I don't know many Granblue characters but I'm so tired of seeing cool women ending up as dykes, finding out Katalina was fucking the Yandere girl instantly turned me off from the series. I'm glad Kuro Games let's the self-insert get on Alpha's backseat after she mogs every enemy and gets possessive over me, when is the PGR fighting game happening?

>>713849325
I’m still weirded out by how they randomly let dlc characters be fun to play, but you’re right about the genre being full of retards.
>>713849191
With positive bonus and how easy you get meter and extend combos using wild assault instead, yes about every hit is super into wallbreak.
>>713849227
She’s rare because her bnb is hard but not too different. She had big stun normals and dolphins were about the same. Her pressure and combos with fb dophin and air movement are the main differences.
>>713849095
Anyone that can freeze you has longer combos but otherwise strive’s are just as long and annoying to sit through. Definitely not shorter than +R’s average combos.
>>713849893
I’m confused on what you mean, are you saying supers in +R are longer than strive’s super cutscenes? I could find a gif of a super from +R that’s a lot shorter. But yeah I know there’s situationally ones like Aba with her mode or Testament with dolls but generally they’re quite short. That’s why I think some of the comments on it here are because they saw one or two clips and thought that happens from every character’s 5P into a bnb.

>>713850553
no no I mean izayoi tsubaki, the one that's kind of like order sol

>>713849893
>spoiler
NTA but its because Xrd is pretty irrelevant. Revelator underperformed and Rev2 flat out flopped. Its hideous looking, nothing thats good about it isn't also good in +R and it has way more downsides.
Its also a lot easier to make a case for Strive when comparing it to Xrd and the goal is to pretend Strive is actually the worst fighting game ever created so better compare Strive to a classic game instead.

>>713850380
Do not touch the game until after we tell you they fixed the game because one of the reasons why the devs are hated so much is the season 2 patch doubling down on everything that made people hate the game on release.
They did openly apologize which is like seeing a unicorn considering the devs are japanese and they did talk about fixing the game but I'll be doubtful till it's all fixed. They did release emergency patches that address some of the issues and say a new proper patch to fix things was coming this summer.
Honestly there's plenty of things that I don't see ever being fixed because they're baked into kits like Anna's major rework with a whole new stance that makes her play very differently from the past iterations (this is very funny because she would've fit right in Tekken 8 with her casino moveset)

>>713850225
Tekken 8 is actually trash. Like for all the bitching and moaning people do about SF6 and Strive and Grub and whatever the fuck else none of them are as bad as T8 is at this moment.

I see
That is very unfortunate because I only recently upgraded my PC (my previous GPU couldn't possibly run Tekken 8) so I was looking forward to trying it out, but when a game is THIS unanimously hated I can only assume it's not just the usual bitching.
Oh well, I'll stick to Grub, KoF XV and Strive for now.

That's what happens when you combo a Japanese woman irl. Yu Suzuki was just trying to simulate real life.

>>713851007
Being frame 1 low profile is better though because it already went under almost anything that isn’t touching the ground. Strive had 5K at 3F but nerfed it. I actually didn’t know riot stamp was that much worse because when I played xrd I didn’t play him so I’d keep my sidewinder muscle memory, but they could have made it situationally good again. I might be more biased than an xrd Sol player would be.
>>713851135
That’s what I meant. You get meter fast already and after you get hit into wallbreak super they can do it again.

NTA, but yuri doesn't make me mad, rather I feel a slight disgust that turns into apathy. Not to mention that yuritards are some of the most obnoxious and annoying people on the internet.

I used to really enjoy GGX2 and CvS2 socially in the early-mid 2000s as a teen but I haven't really touched fighting games since. Is it even worth trying to pick them up again and maybe meet some new people or is the "scene" now just full of mental cases like LTG and annoying D-tier ecelebs like NihingoGamer and Baberuthless?

Would appreciate some unironic replies here.

>>713851591
NTA but Xrd did slow down air dashes and regular dashes a notch. Not a whole lot and I don't see why anyone would think +R is too floaty but still.

Did Capcom pozz Dix with Enigma yet?
How much longer do you think they are going to keep paying for Denuvo?

>>713851591
I feel like everyone jumps too high in that game. the air recovery also chucks you upward while xrd techs you lower to the ground. another thing that happens to me too often there is my instant airdash crossing up my opponent even when I'm not intending to, my guess is that the airdashes travel farther in general in +r and I'm not used to it
moving around feels better in xrd imo and it also has the right amount of hitstop so the buttons feel meatier

>>713853713
are you sure you didn't boot up #Reload instead? xrd took more from XX than AC but one thing they for sure didn't bring back was the floaty air dash from that

I haven't played that one. that's not the first time I hear that though
despite my pet peeves with +r however I must admit it is uncontested in regards to combo expression
>>713854572
given how much he was struggling with the matchup, I wouldn't even get mad

>>713855957
I don't see anything about it in the Steam store page.
That's odd, I thought the plan was to just implement Enigma Protector on anything that didn't have Denuvo anymore.
I hope whoever at Capcom responsible for Enigma Protector gets a strong kick in the balls. Holy fuck, I fucking hate this company so goddamn much

Why are weeb fighting game fans afraid to admit MK has the coolest characters?

>>713859970
Ghostface is cool but he ain’t from mk

>>713859970
MK has like, 3 cool characters, half a dozen less cool versions of its cool characters, and then a bunch of ugly nobodies
also holy shit they could not have done a worse job on this roster graphic, I wasn't expecting much but I haven't been following the last few games and damn I didn't think it would be this bland looking. Even the cool characters look identical to the nobodies.

>>713859970
Name five (5) cool MK characters.

the men are okay I guess but the girls are all ugly and thus worthless

>>713860268
nat but i think noob killer or whatever his name is is cool

>>713859970
They either all look the same (ninjas), are ugly women, or people like Jax and Johnny Cage who I don't care about.
They're definitely not cool enough, or even move cool enough during the game itself, for me to ever want to try them.

>>713862367
did you at least try the demo before pulling the trigger bro? your tolerance level for 66L is like the main deciding criteria for liking that game imo

there's lots of noobs in the more niche ones too, the game just won't automatically match you with them

When I play ranked on Granblue I just keep getting matched with the same guy over and over. Is it a discord fighter?

>>713818735 (OP)

>>713865535
Did you join a Discord group in order to find that opponent?

>>713865617
Let's assume that I want to fight more than one person

>>713865674
Where do you live?
The game has a relatively low population. You will always be able to find a match unless you queue during dead hours like 3AM but yes, it will often be against the same person.
Partly because it matches you against the closest person in terms of rank and partly because like I said, it's not a super popular game.

>>713865883
West coast.
I see, that sucks.

>>713865535
getting matched with the same dude over and over again feels kind of gay bros.

>>713860268
Sub-Zero (literally)
Shao Kahn
Kenshi
Scorpion
Shang Tsung

>>713865883
>>713866132
Its also because the ranking system basically makes it impossible to get to S at this point, so the population is weighted far more heavily to the top of the ranks.

>>713866132
I partially avoid the problem by alternating between 2 characters (in different ranks) when I play ranked.
It does kind of suck but unless the person plays a character I fucking hate or I get high ping it's not too bad.
I genuinely don't think it means there is LITERALLY only one person in your rank queuing at the same time but who the fuck knows.

>>713866242

I play Smash, DBFZ, Strive and Granblue.

>>713866928
If you like Grub you'll probably like SF6.

>>713866928
If you like all those I don’t feel like sf6 would be horrible to you

>>713866996
Cool

>>713867003
Yeah, I already deal with 2 frames throw so... SF6 might not be that bad. It'll my starting point for SF7. Played SF2 and SF5 back then not seriously.

Thanks

>>713866928
If you can stand the horrid visuals in SF6 then you might as well pick it up. I fucking hate how it looks and that's the main reason I haven't bothered with it but I probably would otherwise.

>>713867108
The throws in Strive might be 2f but there's throw protection for 5f unlike SF6, you have way more options because of it.

>>713867108
i will NEVER get throw looped in my life by the way
i will ALWAYS mash after the 2nd successful throw, even if i get hit by the meaty
i might lose for it, but at least i will have my DIGNITY

buddy im not getting twitter clipped for getting thrown over 5 times in a row fuck that

But Nitro actually defends against two different moves that are not throws even before the wallbreak too

>>713867153
>If you can stand the horrid visuals in SF6 then you might as well pick it up.
That's literally my problem too. Damn man, I hope they don't go "realistic" way for SF7. Mods will help out.
I slept on SF5 when file related was just there... Now I'm late and must deal with SF6.

>>713867205
>The throws in Strive might be 2f but there's throw protection for 5f unlike SF6
What do you mean? Like you can't backdash or jab check (like 4f startup) throw in SF6?


>>713867309
True, might do the same.

>>713867571
>mashes out
>still gets thrown anyway
KEK

>>713867602
>What do you mean? Like you can't backdash or jab check (like 4f startup) throw in SF6?
As in you don't necessarily need an option that's literally throw invul frame 1 like a reversal super or a jump or a backdash (Which are all weaker in SF6 than Strive too, by the way) and can also just jab out.

>>713867642
i misread but point still stands

>>713867309
there are no throw loops in strive
getting thrown a few times is not a throw loop when four non-throw options happen too

>>713867791
>getting thrown over and over is not a throw loop

>>713867602
>I hope they don't go "realistic" way for SF7
Shit m8... I really, really really wish I am wrong, but seeing how most people seem to love the character models in SF6 for some reason, I think they are almost guaranteed to double down on that actually.
SFV had some pretty great looking asses, yes.

You mean a mod outfit to make the game look like 1% less of a piece of shit? sf6 has those too. Face still looks like shit too, god I hate sfv.

>>713868576
I am not the one who posted that webm
Almost every single girl in SFV looks good, without mods. Poor Sakura got botched but other than her, even the girls who are not really my type look great.

>>713822925
To be honest, never played, and I really don't care to.
The amount of shilling about how this was the fighting game to end all fighting games was 10/10 content.
There was a lot to criticize from the betas, but it got dismissed as trolling or just rage bait. But here we are

>>713822925
>>713868538
It looks like shit, in particular shit and old gen shit that should be half the price that the game is right now.
>>713868493
snk's retardation is actually baffling. They could've used all that advertising money that amounted to nothing on hiring some experienced people for a better looking game or even just some actual animated shit regarding the single player to draw in some casuals.

>>713868868
Literally if they didn’t put Ronaldo and the dj in the game it’d have at least a few more players. They spent money to drive away the fgc audience.

Surely you could've gotten a better Lucia camera mode image you dumb fucking sfv excusing shit for brains.

>>713869115

>>713868936
It's extra confusing because Capcom gave them the go to put Chun and Ken in the game for who knows how long ago and you put THOSE chucklefucks as base guest characters? In a game with only 4 girls out of 17 characters? Did that bankruptcy give the people in charge there a lobotomy?

Remember what they took from you.

>>713870301

Holy based.

>>713872185
I hate that Mai proved they CAN make hot girls in SF6. They're just making the women ugly on purpose.

>>713872478
Plenty of people in this shithole board will swear to you that the girls in 6 look BEAUTIFUL but I agree with you. I still think it could have been incompetence because from what I understand, the modelers for the characters in the base game are a bunch of Indians, which would explain why everyone looks like shit. Maybe for Mai they hired better people, who knows.

>>713872478
I don't know if it's the artist's designs not being translated to the game well or if the weird blend of realism and cartoonish features in SF6 makes everything ugly. Kimberly is insanely hot in her art but they made her look like a racist charicature ingame. I'd be pissed off if I was the artist who designed her

Does anyone want to play SoulCalibur?

>>713873168
>or if the weird blend of realism and cartoonish features in SF6 makes everything ugly
I'd say this is the main problem, yes.
Street Fighter characters just don't translate well into semi-realistic models. Whoever at Capcom pitched that idea and whoever approved it are fucking stupid.
Incidentally, Ingrid is by far the most anime character ever put in a Street Fighter game and now she is getting added to 6 as well. I am curious about how that one is going to end up.

>>713873354
how do people play SC2 online these days?

>>713873354
I bought 6 on sale so if you don't mind playing a complete beginner

Grim.

>>713873391
>Street Fighter characters just don't translate well into semi-realistic models
Yeah that's why for the realistic artystyle V initially had Ryu and Bison had completely different designs. It just doesn't suit SF. Outsourcing all the character models doesn't help

>>713873780
>the realistic artystyle V initially had Ryu and Bison had completely different designs. It just doesn't suit SF
They were right the first time they canned it, no idea why they thought it was a good idea to revisit it but here we are.

Feel free to stop after a couple of matches if it's not fun.
One thing I don't want to do is discourage people from getting into this series.

Nice

I'd rather have stylish anime designs for Street fighters. Ideally, something like Street Fighter III's sprites again. Or do things the Arc System Work way since GGXrd. I'm tired of realism. DMC lost it's anime and goth traits and had the soul sucked out of it with 5.

>>713874005
I'll be 10 mins it's still installing. It seems like a fun game to fuck about in

>>713874147
RE engine was a mistake.
Yes, the engine is perfectly capable of creating stylized/anime games, but Capcom is run by a bunch of greedy cunts who will recycle and reuse EVERYTHING they can, so now fucking Monster Hunter, DMC, Resident Evil, Dragon's Dogma, they all look the same.

>>713874147
Asking for sprites is retarded, the arcsys way literally ONLY works with arcsys due to the kinds of games they make and the fact that people who street fighter do not want their games looking like that, and Capcom games old and new were always trying to be the most realistic looking games of the times. DMC and RE especially were always focused on being western looking and and realistic for the eras and years they are made in.

>>713874147

Sorry for those ringouts.

GGs, sorry I kept fat fingering into the stupid RPS mode

melty bra

>>713874873
GGs. I have a friend who mains Haoh and can beat me easily so I know a couple of things about this matchup. Haoh's 623B is unsafe on block, I can get a guaranteed 236B after blocking it. His 623B also comboes with one of his jabs, forgot the input but you did it a couple of times during those matches. He also has a move that can be used to whiff punish Cassandra's shield throw.

>>713872478
Yeah bro, Chun, Cammy, Juri, Elena, they're all very ugly.

>I slime better
I win
>Opponent slimes better
he wins
It's a battle of slimes

>>713876051
No problem. Yeah I noticed that you also threw some taunts which is K+G and RE is B+G. Are you playing on a stick or a keyboard? I play on a controller so I basically never misinput these.

>>713876284
This but unironically.

>>713876195
But it's boring

>>713876195
I've been thinking about it, but I already don't spend enough time playing BBCF and UNI2.
Do people like Lumina these days or is it still all MBAACC?

>This but unironically

>>713876414
This isn't twitter

>>713876512
Yeah it's /v/eddit

>>713875280
What the fuck is even the situation with the Arabs and SNK? As in, do they see SNK games as an investment and they expect a profit, or are the games just like... projects they fund to amuse themselves?
The whole thing with Ronaldo and Salvatore whatever makes me think they don't give a fuck if their games succeed or not, but that can't be right.

never played a fighting game, as a poor fag, what do I start with?

>>713876345
>>713876228
I play controller but I was messing about with the combination moves and forgot which ones did which. I'll practice a bit more with Haoh when I get a chance, I had a lot of fun playing

>>713876386

>>713876389
I don't think there's anyone left here that plays lumina.
No idea why'd you want to either, especially if you already play uni.
Funny enough AACC keeps getting new people

>>713876713
its usually best to start with a newer game that still has a large playerbase so you can learn along with all the other nooblets but I dont think any of the newish games are on sale currently.
>as a poor fag
For the price of free, 3rd strike on fightcade is a pretty good deal. Same with melty blood aacc.
whatever game looks cool to you is also a good choice

>>713876628
I could see Ronaldo as being a (retarded) attempt at targeting normalfags but that rapper makes it obvious the oil prince is just dicking around.
>they don't give a fuck if their games succeed or not, but that can't be right
He's got infinite money, even if the game fails he can fund SNK himself.
Think about it like this: do you really think an arab would buy a failing japanese game company for investment reasons?

>>713877170
I'll look into fightcade, 3rd strike art style is nice.

>>713876713
play.meltyblood.club

>>713876628
It's part vanity but also largely that diversifying their income streams is a necessity because they know when the oil runs out they're fucked. SNK was seen as a good buy since they're seen as a "legacy" publisher given they were big in the 90s but had largely relegated to a cult audience since, meaning they were relatively cheap to buy off the Chinese. Shit like the Ronaldo thing is rooted in arrogance but also incompetence.

>>713877242
>do you really think an arab would buy a failing japanese game company for investment reasons?
...yeah, when you put it that way it does seem more obvious kek


>>713877470
>Shit like the Ronaldo thing is rooted in arrogance but also incompetence.
This, unfortunately, also makes a lot of sense
Oh well

>>713877470
Also Chinks don't give a fuck but a lot of companies don't want to deal with Middle Eastern investors due to bad optics. Nintendo for instance were pissed off when an entity buying shares turned out to be a shell company owned by the Saudi royal family.

>>713876713
+R singleplayer is fun

>>713877306
There's a fair amount of new players on the more popular Fightcade games like 3S so you should be alright as a beginner. It's honestly quite a simple game despite having such a high skill ceiling

Once you play a few matches you'll probably wonder how the fuck SF is even supposed to be played, give this a read and try to apply some of it

Granblue Rising. There is a free demo.

>>713877470
>It's part vanity but also largely that diversifying their income streams is a necessity because they know when the oil runs out they're fucked

A lot of it too is basically just buying political influence in the West. Not with relatively minor shit like SNK obviously, but look at Manchester City and the Emirati royal family for instance - nearly twenty years on and tens of billions invested, yet Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan has only actually been to two games.

>>713876713
Actually this anon >>713876895
was correct because, if you're a newfag to the genre, SamSho will teach you the basic of fighting games.

>>713877470
>when the oil runs out they're fucked
I don't think they care what will happen in 250+ years tbqh

>>713875035
I severely doubt it because even Tekken 8 barely has rollback and the recent "release" of SC2 on Nintendo Switch 2 Online is also delay-based. I doubt anyone in that company has the will or expertise to dig inside the code of their old games anymore. SC2 on NSO is just an emulated ROM, but the idea of Namco implementing rollback for emulators of consoles that aren't even theirs is probably also out of question. SC1 on Fightcade has rollback because Flycast has a generic rollback implementation of it, it works with every game by rewinding the game's logic when necessary. However, that leads to jumpy animations that ruin the game's fluidity when ping jumps. Also, that game doesn't have Cassandra.

I remember an interview before SC 6 release when someone in charge of SC said something like "if this game doesn't sell well it will be the end of the franchise". I buyeted SC6 day-one for that reason (and the game is fun) and i remember reading the game did well...but what happened to SC 7? Last update for SC 6 was years ago...i thought they were cooking something new.

Thing is, we don't know what Bamco considers "doing well." SC6 sold two million copies, but only two or three years after release iirc. A lot of these might have been sold with big discounts. On the other hand, this is the first SC game with this many DLC and those should have made Bamco some money. At least Yoshinori Takahashi still cares, but he works on Tekken 8 nowadays.
