You should play fighting games

>>714791083 (OP)
nah

>my wife Saheera shown
incredibly based. Thank you OP

More fighting games need cute girls

>>714791083 (OP)
I like MvC inspired artwork.

Why, exactly? You're just trying to lure me into your dead game while the summer sale has them cheap. I'd rather just speedrun Kamilia 3 if I want to feel crushing loss.

>>714794778
Beating up newbies isn't fun. You just feel pity.

gift me a stick or hitbox and I will do it

>>714791083 (OP)
i'm making an effort to play more
i've been putting it off for so long

>>714793091
Sol is probably the best fighting game protagonist. Ragna’s another contender.

>>714795940
Same, although I am probably not playing enough to improve, and I still have so many non-fighting games I want to play through.

>>714791083 (OP)
I exclusively find aba players in +r and perform instant kill.

>>714791083 (OP)
Nah. I prefer games I can pick up and play.

>>714796837
...like fighting games?
No cutscenes, no lore dump, literally just pick a character and start playing.

>>714796701
It is fun

>>714796204
It's funny because Sol's character is as boring as dirt while being fun as shit to play while Ragna's character is entertaining but feels boring as hell to play.

>...like fighting games?
Fighting games are a genre you can't pick up and play.
They may not have cutscenes but they have something infinitely worse: obligatory thousands of hours of practice and lab mode.

>>714798568
That’s every game. FPS games? You expect me to know how to aim perfectly and memorize smoke data in under 1000 hours?!

>>714798568
>obligatory thousands of hours of practice and lab mode.
that's only if you have a learning disability

>10 years since last mainline BlazBlue game
fuck this gay earth and fuck all you stinky tag-system players.

>>714798905
Why do you want a new one anyway? CF is right there.

>>714798568
>obligatory thousands of hours of practice and lab mode
lmao
HOW are people still parroting this shit?
Have you tried, you know, playing literally anything other than some obscure anime fighter with 10 players who have been playing for 20 years?
Almost every single fighting game released this decade has both some kind of simplification going on and a ranked system that will place you against button mashers if you don't want to learn advanced tech

>>714798992
I want it to be a proper game, not a discord fighter.
I'd even accept a Strive-treatment at this point

>>714798905
If they made a new one it’d be awful in story and gameplay. Cf is perfect.

>>714799083
They think they need to be Daigo to enjoy FGs.
Nevermind these scrubs are hardstuck in Gold in whatever else multiplayer slop they play.
The "thousands of hours" are you enjoying the game, playing it against other people and improving. Not stuck in training mode.
But this has been the mantra against FGs for decades now. They simply refuse to learn.

>>714799128
Have you tried playing it recently? I’ve never needed discord. Bbcf is at like every tournament as at least a side game. The strive treatment would never be worth it.

>>714791083 (OP)
why?

>>714799128
CF is absolutely not a discord fighter.
I would know because I actually play it.

>>714799083
>HOW are people still parroting this shit?
Because it's true.
You claim that people can simply pick up a character and play, while hiding the fact that you've been playing for decades.
Even if you're a member of the generation of 2009 that still means you've been playing for 17 years.

>>714799128

Make a new (and non-censored) Darkstalkers, and I will.

>>714799915
If fighting games don't appeal to you that's perfectly valid, they are not for everyone. Just please stop parroting stale memes.

>>714800227
Why don't you play the old (and non-censored) Darkstalkers?

>>714800506
I did.

>>714798568
>obligatory thousands of hours of practice
Learn one combo.
Learn one corner combo.
Learn one blockstring.
Go online.

>>714799314
>enjoying the game
That's the other thing: I've never seen a fighting game player enjoying the genre.
They're either raging because got unfairly beaten and demoted rank-wise or raging because they won but their rank didn't improve.
MOBA players are the same; people play the game out of pride, not because they enjoy it.

>>714800752
Are you watching ltg or something

>>714798905
>>714799128
Do you not understand that blazblue's sole purpose was to be a temporary money maker until they could focus on GG again? Like even if Mori was still at arc you wouldn't be getting a fighter since he stopped wanting to make fighting games in the 1st place before even Xrd.

>>714800227
>he wants a Darkstalkers game made in the Horror Engine
You would THINK that it would be a perfect fit for it but I dread to imagine how it would look.

>>714800752
>I've never seen a fighting game player enjoying the genre
you seeing yourself in a mirror doesn't count
try going to a local to see happy people enjoying their games

>>714800325
Then stop making threads demanding people to play the genre.

>>714800752
Stop watching streamers
At the very least, stop watching shitty streamers.

holy autism

>>714800852
Nah, I just browse the internet.

>>714800940
There's some real narcissistic retards on 4chan these days. How do you not feel embarrassed writing shit like this?

>>714800940
"You should" is a suggestion, not a demand.
Try making this post if OP ever makes a thread saying "You MUST"

>>714801206
If I made a thread about a game you hate you would order me to never post about it again.
Why can't I demand the same thing from you?

>dude no one actually enjoys these games
>dude stop making these you're clearly OP
Retard

>>714801409
only schizos enter positive threads for things they hate

>>714801301
>"You should" is a suggestion, not a demand
It is a demand, given how it's the only genre you "suggest" people should play, while calling everything else "_________slop".

>>714801128
That doesn’t sound like the fighting game part was the problem

>>714801701
It absolutely was. It was far from an isolated incident.

Just stop replying to the designated anti fighting game thread retard.

>>714801597
Ironic post given how fighting game fans come to action game threads and demand people to play foghting games instead of "juggleslop", "parryslop", "witchtimeslop".

>>714791083 (OP)
I'm just completely burnt out on them at this point.
Between KOF, BB and GG I have like 2k hours at least. I'm also just too old to give a shit about grinding out combos so they're muscle memory.

>>714801931
Yeah, right at the very beginning I thought maybe he had a genuine misconception but now it is very, very obvious he's just doing a bit - pretending to be retarded.

I'm retarded.

I didn't like them.

>>714802268
And memorizing frame data. So many colored rectangles it feels like you're doing a photoshop project.

>>714791083 (OP)
How do I get into fighting games? They look cool but don't know where to start

>>714802179
Post an example with the input display showing.

>>714802268
Nobody says you have to learn combos to have fun. But how do you define fun in a fighting game? Winning? Then you need to put in SOME effort to beat another person.

>>714802578
Which ones do you think look cool?
That is literally going to be the main motivator for most people, if you think a game/character looks cool you are more likely to stick with it.

>>714802578
Pick a game you think looks cool, looks fun, appeals to you, etc.
Go to Training Mode to test out a character's moves. Find anyone you vibe with. Try their Mission Mode out to figure out their general gameplan.
Learn some basics and go play other people or Arcade Mode to acclimate yourself with said character.

>>714802469
All you really need to memorize is what's safe and what's unsafe. Only when you're really fiending to win or can't seem to figure out how to retaliate against certain attacks do you go look it up.

How is Dizzy in Strive?
I've heard she's pretty weak but how bad are we talking?

>>714802892
I've heard really inconsistent hit confirms.

>>714802636
>SOME effort
The problem is that said "some effort" means thousands of hours in practice mode, laboratory mode, memorizing wikias, watching tournament footage, dissecting and learning frame data.
It's like MMORPGs where you need to grind for years so you can the gear required to properly play the content.

Fighting games made sure I would never try to go to a video game event again. The first time I ever went to a public and local venue to play SFV and GGXrd I had 3 people in a row that were just loud and obnoxious rage gamers who sucked the entire fun out of the event because I just let them win so I wouldn't have to deal with someone literally cussing and throwing shit around right next to me.

That was like 10 years ago and I haven't played any fighting game since and have no intentions of doing so because every time I look at the community to see if it's better, it's always worse. Like literally always worse. Rampant amounts of meta abusers, black people talking like they're niggers in the ghetto, trannies inserting their troon fetish into everything, an unending amount of "who fucked who" drama and just all around a miserable community to be a part of it looks like.

>>714803095
You had my sympathy until “meta abusers”.

>>714803078
It fucking doesn't.
You're fighting other shitters, not GO1 or Sonicfox. Don't get it twisted, you're not losing to some Magnus Carlsen tier savant in fighting games, you're fighting to a random scrub who probably has 10 hours over you.
You're not playing at a pro level, you're playing at bottom rung shitter levels. You don't need to know shit to start playing.

>>714803382
You really going to fucking sit here and tell me that people don't abuse meta picks when their "main" is nerfed?

>>714803095
My friend bodied this huge dude in a tournament who smashed his stick and we still laugh about it to this day.

>>714803095
>and just all around a miserable community to be a part of it looks like.
The FGC IS a miserable community to be a part of of because the genre that it's centered around is outdated and barely kept alive but the fucking retards still want to gatekeep their community from what they consider "normies" (read: well adjusted human beings that can't spend hundreds of hours of their life pressing specifically timed button combos ad nauseum) because they want to feel like they're part of something they own. The entire community in the past 3 years has just been purity spiraling into more and more fragmented smaller communities and it's hilarious watching these faggots tear each other apart.

>>714803519
If you're playing to win, obviously you're going to play the best character you can for that. I respect character specialists a lot more than meta whores but if you want to win, playing a top tier is the best way to do that.

>>714791083 (OP)
No one plays the fun ones like BBTag, P4AU, or Arcana Heart

lol, you get a 20 seconds cutscene when you get hit with an animated super at the end.

>>714803579
That sounds funny to me if I saw it on a video or was at least a distance away from the action.
It makes me get anxious and nervous when someone is flipping out like that right next to me because I genuinely cannot trust or know whether or not that person flipping out is going to hurt me or not over a stupid video game.

Is it seriously so difficult for people to not act like seething retards?

I cant really advise any gamer to play new fighting games, theyre so boring..

You can tell someone has never touched the genre when they say discord fighter about any game with over 50 players on rollback

>>714803927
It wasn't even that deep into the tournament and this dude got super fucking mad. Was fucking hilarious.
>>714803970
Maybe you have anxiety or you're from a really bad part of town but violence will get some people's asses banned from tournies especially nowadays. Because people are raging because of pride, not being allowed to compete is probably a big enough threat for them to not act on it unless you actively talk shit back to them condescendingly.

>>714803939
Stop playing Dix

>>714803970
Jesus christ dude, calm your autism and chill out. There are lots of people at events, what's a dude gonna do? Mow through all of them? If people misbehave, they get kicked out.
There's only been VERY FEW times it's actually gone to fisticuffs in recent times at FGC events, and all those times it was regulated, and both agreed to it.
No ones gonna beat you up bro I promise.
What is gonna happen is you're gonna get a twtlongr post about how you raped your dog when you were 11 because niggas be salty.

>>714804034
Typical of phony akatshitters, no real loss here.

>>714804229
>violence will get some people's asses banned from tournies especially nowadays.
I've seen videos of these people literally snapping the monitor in half why screaming bloody murder. I don't care if they get reprimanded, I'd rather not be around violent, unstable people and that's a very reasonable ask and expectation for a public venue yet the FGC seems to genuinely be incapable of enforcing any kind of code of conduct at all.

>>714804298
I live in Florida. You genuinely have no idea how common it is for public events and venues around here to turn into a crime scene.
2 years ago there was a stabbing at a local Super Smash Bros. tournament that took place less than 5 miles away from my house.

I'm not getting fucking stabbed over a stupid video game because niggers can't control their rage.

To be fair the only way to get UNI2 matches is by making threads on /v/.
That game is lower than a Discord fighter: it's a /v/ fighter.

>>714806291
Ranked is still active at night, shame the ranked mode rarely ever wants to work outside of quick searching.
