fighting games are too hard

Just look at your numpad
>but it's so le hard to read
then go play shit fighter, you're not ready for some anime greatness

Mandatory bait OP aside, what's everyone playing lately? I've been playing +R, Vsav, CotW and UNI2.

>>714273340
i finally got to master with vira and i don't feel like i deserve it.
I still have no idea of what option select or delay tech and shit like that is, and my "pressure" is literally just mashing until something lands or i get countered.

>>714273340
Playing each character story mode in +R rn

>>714275012
Now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever played any of the singleplayer modes (unless training counts) even though +R is my most played and favourite FG. Are they any good?

>>714273340
Just +R for me. Over 500 hours and can’t stick to a main.

>>714272893 (OP)
I don't like numpad annotation because it's player 1 biased (the player on the left, facing right) :(
That's gay as hell

Just say QCF, HCB, etc
They're the same no matter which way you face

>>714272893 (OP)
You play one fighting game seriously, ever, and you will have all the skills you ever need to play any other fighting game. The framework is transferrable anywhere, just like twitch reflexes in FPS games.

>>714275610
Numpad is universal and far more versatile. There's no problem with understanding which way is forward unless you're retarded.

>>714275610
That’s fine when you’re writing the motion for a move but looks horrible if you’re writing a combo with notation.

>>714274043
That's what "pressure" is. You throw out shit that from your PoV feels fake as fuck, meanwhile the other player is shitting their pants at your godlike understanding of frame data and reads.

>Are they any good?
Story mode is basically a VN for each character with a few gimmick battles
Survival mode is a rougelike mode with boss battles (golden and dark characters) and upgrades for your character, barely any healing each round.
M.O.M. is a high score combo mode, you can also equip a few perks for your character, barely any healing for each passing battle aswell
Mission: Challenge mode with shit like "Do a combo over 18 hits with every character, or fight against Gold Dizzy and no blocking allowed."

>>714275165
Story modes are quite good but you might need a guide for different paths. Survival is fun. Classic survival is torture but fun.

>>714272893 (OP)
Play the easier ones.

>>714274043
that's bc they made rank easier

>>714273340
+R

>>714272893 (OP)
I only know how to quartecircle because of castlemania

>>714276168
I don't know, I like the way
>st.LP + cr.MK + QCF P
looks than
>5P+2P+236P

I understand them both just fine, just one of them looks like an algebra problem.

>>714278895
I still don't get this retard take.
The new ranked system makes it so smurfs get the fuck out of the lower ranks faster and stop fucking up people's life
>but muh promotions!!
With the old system, If you got lucky and got matched with a retard you just promote for free, on the other hand if you got matched with a smurf (which is 99% of S+ and S++ players) you will never promote ever.
Now you just have to have a consistent good performance to promote instead of just lucky matches.

>>714280708
sheeeit I meant 2K but you get it

anyone up for some aacc?

>>714275610
What happens to that notation if I don't speak english?

>>714282497
They do pictures with arrows, most of the time
But they're pretty simple
I learned some simple Japanese to navigate game menus and stuff

Coffee makes me play worse

>>714280839
Yeah. What FG players are not ready to hear is that actual balanced ranking systems are boring as fuck, especially when the playerbase is small.

Will Arcana Heart or Chaos Code ever get rollback?

>>714272893 (OP)
just play the remedial yolo modern ones for scrubs

>>714287823
I think Chaos Code is left for dead. If I recall, the core team involved two brothers, or two close friends, and one of them died, and the other has been unable to put out an update ever since.

>>714274043
wow its almost like rank in grubble doesnt matter since its a baby game where you just mash

>>714281170
what does aacc stands for

>>714288001
Oh, I looked it up again and I guess that's outdated news. I completely whiffed that Mickey had resumed development at some point.

>>714288001
Chaos Code Nemesis Experiment is very much alive and well ExArcadia exclusive

>>714288272
Actress Again Current Code. It's the latest version of Melty Blood before Type Lumina came out.

Welp

armored accent creed crossing

>>714280708
Numbers are more distinct next to buttons. I know what st and cr mean but it’s a visual mess after you’re used to numpad+button notations. Especially if it’s a long combo and has command normals.

Fighting games make me hard.

>>714281170
I'll game

>>714281170
forget that other guy ILL play

>>714272893 (OP)
Play SF2

anybody wanna explain what happened?

>>714289930
They doubled down on the garbage agressive playstyle of Tekken 8. All characters are now 50/50 casino stance styles. The game has stupid fireworks display comeback mechanics in favor of unique moves/playstyles.
Tekken 8 is a zoomer's idea of what a good fighting game should be.

>>714288164
>already moving the goalpost
lol?

>>714290605
try that on my game dude

>>714272893 (OP)
Why the fuck would 1 start at down and left? Shouldn't 1 start in the center or even at the top and go clockwise? That makes the most sense to me.

>>714290808
I just did, it was easy

>>714290963
Anon, look at the numpad on your keyboard.

>>714290963
