What fighting game is the best for beginners? Street Fighter? Smash? Tekken? Guilty Gear?

Fantasy Strike

mortal kombat

Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising.
It was literally made for people that don't usually play these games.

Black dickie here. I love black lipstick. My least favourite colour is actually ..red.., which also applies to nails/toenails

>>716343249
that would be true if it was a fighting game

>>716347798
Pink or purple are top tier.

>>716347965
Light blue is my favourite.

>>716342946 (OP)
street fighter 6. it's a flawed game and there are reasons to shit on it but for a brand new player it's probably the best option.
the most important thing is a population of other people near a new/learning player's skill level.
the training mode is better than others for teaching new players too.

>>716347626
Hopefully. The fun of black lipstick is it can give you a black dickie.

>>716348387
Absolutely not. I typed this up a few days ago and fished it out because I still fully believe it.
>decide to give sf6 a shot
>only wiki is supercombo which is either out of date or missing info
>discords aren't updated either or are hidden away
>"beginner" youtube videos are 30 minutes long and go into random details that are useless
It's retarded that it's impossible to easily access every character's basic bnbs, anti air info, punish combo, meter burn combo and basic oki. That's literally all you need to get started but if you look at any resource it's going to be a list of every possible combo which lead into a number of different situations.

There's bound to be some retard that responds with
>yeah just play and learn as you go
It is not fun to just mindlessly mash while your opponent fucks you up and if a game isn't fun from the start then why bother playing.
>go watch the pro replays, that'll tell you what to do
It is completely retarded to expect a new player to understand why someone is doing X, especially when top players have more options to consider.

It's always funny when people make up random dumb excuses for why people don't want to play fighting games, maybe don't lock basic information for learning how to start playing the game.

Tekken, you can mash. I think Eddy Gordon can win with spamming one button.

>>716349681
you have to be an actual, clinical retard to be filtered out this way by SF6 out of all games

>>716350359
Prove me wrong then, post a good resource location that has what I asked.

>>716342946 (OP)
Street Fighter because it has the best tutorials and the largest player base

>>716345516
>recent

>>716350508
NTA but that shit has a modern mode dude its not hard to pick that and auto-combo for a few games while you get your feet wet. Button > Special works until master rank if you hate M controls

>>716349681
Your evaluation of what is needed "to get started" is warped and your expectations for online resources are unrealistic.
All you actually need to get started is the basic tutorial to know what the buttons are and the contents of the character guides explaining said buttons which are all in the game. Anything more than that is not "for beginners".

>>716342946 (OP)
stive has good tutorials

just pick the one you think looks the coolest
no game is perfect at teaching you shit so you need to get hooked

I want Chun Li and Juri to pump me full of futa goo and turn me into a white chocolate fountain

>>716349681
People recommend SF6 because it's the only game populated by actual new players you fucking retarded overthinking dipshit
Your average scrub is thinking about ZERO things of whatever the fuck you just regurgitated out of your faggot mouth

>>716350964
>nooo wanting to know the basics for your character is too much to ask for
People like you have to be getting paid for this shit, I can easily get this for other games and I could probably make a version of this myself in a few minutes for games I play. Meanwhile if I want this for SF6 it's somehow impossible and "unrealistic"? Fine then, post ANY kind of resource for the game that is suitable for beginners and isn't out of date, incomplete and doesn't go into detail listing every single possible use for a move or every single possible variation of combos.

>>716349681
This
Just play GBVR or +R since those games have better documented wikis and resources

Bros, which fighting game is not going to destroy my joystick and I can just play to unwind after a honest day of work?

>>716351673
>joystick

If you're playing with a controller you should be using the DPAD for fighting games. DPAD is faster and more precise, especially for >>/<< double tap moves.

>>716351558
What you have decided are "the basics for your character" is incorrect and that is why your expectations to be spoonfed them is unrealistic.

>>716351638
>GBVR
>better documented
Hell no. The best place for Granblue info is dustloop, but that shit is incomplete since it's no longer a community effort.

>>716349681
>only wiki is supercombo which is either out of date or missing info
what the fuck do you mean by this

>>716351673
All of them if you aren't a chimp

>>716351889
Nice dodge retard, I said to post ANY kind of beginner resource that isn't a retarded long list. I don't care what it includes, if you think it's suitable for beginners then post it.
>>716351949
Unless there's a wiki I don't know about, then it's easy to understand what I mean. Supercombo is full of out of date shit or is missing info.

>>716351958
>>716351871
>no titles
you bastids don't evne play games

>>716352056
>Supercombo is full of out of date shit or is missing info.
can you please give an example of this in the sf6 section of the site

>>716352056
I already told you that everything that constitutes a true beginner resource is inside the game. Try reading the posts you're replying to instead of retreating into your paranoid delusions about the world conspiring to stop you from playing SF6.

>>716352163
because your question is retarded
no actual fighting game is going to pat you on the back for losing, so if you going to destroy shit you picked the wrong genre

>>716349681
>"beginner" youtube videos are 30 minutes long and go into random details that are useless
That's a problem that plagues all fighting games now. On top of videos generally being a pain in the ass, the people that put these together are generally experienced enough that they don't remember our understand the thought processes of a total beginner, so they're unlikely to cover the things a beginner needs to hear. Even if they do, it's probably not going to be presented in a way they'll understand.

I'll be the person to state that the best way to learn is to play, though. I'm not suggesting they go in and mash, but experiencing what does and doesn't work is a fast teacher. I'd encourage a new player to go in with a couple of basic tools with the goal of successfully implementing them, then build upon those toolsets with continued play.

>>716342946 (OP)
tekken is baby mode fighter, literally any monkey can do optimal combos. no wonder so many women are high rank in tekken,

>>716352260
Sure, go to Cammy and look at her strategy page, it's full of details for what in neutral, offense and oki/mixups. Go to Bison and it's TO-DO. The matchup tab for most characters looks to be basically empty or has a line or two at best, but I haven't looked at many of those.
>>716352375
You're dumb as fuck, stop responding to me.
>>716352875
I agree that playing is a strong way to learn, but I simply can't be fucked with having to scavenge for basic information that I mentioned above. Anyone could play and waste time just mashing, but I'd rather put in some time at the start learning some basics and then spam ranked until I feel like I'm hitting a wall in a specific area rather than feel like I'm missing every basic part of gameplay.

Knowing your basic gameplan, bnbs, anti air and oki is not something which should be difficult to find.

>>716353060
no shit the combos are easy in tekken there's like a 2 week frame buffer retard
the hard part is memorizing the frames on hundreds of moves, even pros have brain farts and punish something launch punishable with 1,2 because there's just too much to keep track of

>>716352056
why would a beginner give a shit if the wiki is out of date? They're not gonna be checking the frame data on their c.MK anyway why would a patch change anything about their initial exp with the basics of a character? SF6 has barely changed in terms of core gameplay

>>716353404
>why would it matter that you're learning the game wrong

>>716353404
You don't understand, a game can't be good for beginners unless I can be the best in the world with only the information from the first result on google!

>>716351441
>the only game populated by actual new players
It is not, fuck off with this shit
Even if it was, that's still not a good reason to recommend such a trash game.

>>716353562
You're right, we should just delete all guides and info, go back to the days of having to lose to people in arcades because you don't know what's going on. Hell delete training mode too because that's too much handholding.

>>716353663
Yes, honestly games would be better if all information about them was only available to the people who actually played them instead of faggots who won't touch the controller without ten wikis and a bespoke flowchart open.

>>716342946 (OP)
SF6

Has modern control for brainless mashing
Has single player content if you're into that
Has a large player base
Has crossplay
Has a big eatsport scene for you to watch

how the fuck are you supposed to beat a character if you don't know what to do in the matchup retard?

>>716355804
Character specific matchups literally don't matter until you reach at least 1750 MR. Knowing your character and your opponent's moves and how they work is universal knowledge that helps you regardless of who you play as.

>>716355804
you can't figure out basic shit, you have bigger problems than character specific matchups

You listed Smash, so that. It's apparently even a viable gateway judging from that Terry player that migrated over to CotW.

What kind of retard picks up SF6 then thinks he needs to look for a fucking discord or wiki lmao. You don't need that shit it's SF and SF6. You don't even need fucking Oki to get started. All you need is to know which buttons let you mash more if they'll blocked and every character's trial and tutorials tells you that along with the basic combos.

The question "how do I get into fighting games"
>starting the game
>???
>going online and not hating it
Seems like there's this missing link here between when a person boots up the game and when they can play other people and not just get roflstomped. Now call me crazy but isn't that where playing the AI comes in? I know there's a stigma around it in competitive circles. But how the fuck else are you even supposed to know what every characters' moves are, before facing them in the hands of a real player where you'll just get embarrassed and not know WTF to do? There used to be whole cultures built around clearing arcade modes and seeing endings. People would crowd around cabinets. WTF happened where now it's all these fucking "FGC" cock-jerkers who say "LE BAD HABITS" and turn their noses up if someone mentions playing the CPU? Did they get filtered and this is how they cope? Arcade mode is just a fucking 2D action game boss rush and you're an autopiloting scrub if that gives you "bad habits."

Zoomers resent being just a few years to young to experience the late 90s to late 2000s Goth/Emo/Scene cultures despite all the shows they grew up with depicting cool goth chicks. So they are trying to revive the styles in art and fashion.

>>716342946 (OP)
Mortal Kombat unironically but the habits you take from it will fuck you over in other fighting games

>SF6 and especially Tekken 8 are widely accepted to be fucking horrible fighting games
>Still the most recommended fighting games for beginners anyways because every other game in the genre is dead and you'd just get your ass beat by sweaty tryhards if you attempted to play them

The fucking state of fighting games lol

>>716369812
>every other game in the genre is dead
Only faggot zoomers think this.

>>716369812
>you'd just get your ass beat by sweaty tryhards if you attempted to play them
That's fun though. I actually liked getting BTFO in Blazblue with my Day 0 Hakumen because all the stuff Blazblue characters can do is fun to watch.

Will we ever reach a point where there's just new games on top? SF5 and MVCI were such dumpster fires at launch, that so many people lost faith in Capcom and went to other fighters, and other than MVCI literally dying, SF5 was still the most attended, most popular fighting game during the entirety of its life.

When will people stop falling for brand nepotism? Useless question to ask I know

>>716369812
>widely accepted to be fucking horrible fighting games
Well only Tekken 8 is widely accepted to be a truly horrible game sf6 is widely accepted to be a decent to good game by most except for a very small minority of people like this board and the retards who actually liked sfv.

>>716372815
How is SF6 better than V?

>>716372852
>Universal mechanics aren't dogshit
>Graphics aren't dogshit
>Netcode isn't dogshit
>Defensive options aren't dogshit
If you disagree you're a turbo zoomer who's nostalgic for a 2016 game

>>716371331
Brand is all that matters. SF and Tekken being the most popular have nothing to do with how good they are, it's that they have normiecore recognizability so they're the games that you can fight other shitter normies in. People dab on CotW like it was a failing of the game when a lot of people dipped simply because they were tired of getting, for lack of a better term, pwned. It turns out making a game for vets and a game for newbs are diametrically opposed since the newbs just get punished that much harder.

>>716371331
>SF5 was still the most attended, most popular fighting game during the entirety of its life.
Incorrect, in 2022, the last year before SF6, it was surpassed by Strive for EVO entrants by around 800

>>716372852
I would 100% rather deal with anything drive related than v trigger ever again. Also I will NEVER like the way sfv looks especially when it comes to the characters I actually want to play like Dhalsim and Zangief. Also my other character JP would look like complete shit in sfv the same way luke looks like shit in sfv compared to sf6.

>>716372936
>>Universal mechanics aren't dogshit
Ah yes, universal mechanics that make everyone play more or less the same are MUCH better than having 2 unique V-Skills and 2 V-Triggers per character.
>>Graphics aren't dogshit
They are
SF6 is amazingly fucking ugly. Their attempt at mixing realism with stylization looks like a fucking abortion.
>>Defensive options aren't dogshit
But they are.
Throw loops exist precisely because this game favors the attacker to a ridiculous degree.
>If you disagree you're a turbo zoomer who's nostalgic for a 2016 game
I am not, but even that would be exponentially better than defending this shit.
The only non retarded point in your entire post is about the netcode.

>>716373176
Other than Ken, every single character who is both in V and 6 looks much better and much closer to what they are supposed to look like in V
Ryu and Chun-li in particular look like SHIT, Cammy too.
>I would 100% rather deal with anything drive related than v trigger ever again.
Why?
It is significantly more obnoxious, it's available literally at round start and it fucking replenishes itself. How the fuck can you possibly prefer that?

>>716373013
Looking forward to that Ken release, it'll be funny to see another mass of SF players get completely filtered by CotW.

>>716373390
Do you think they will put this thing on sale during EVO?
I know publishers never want to look desperate but I'm reluctant to get it at full price.

>>716371331
This is the biggest problem of indie fighting games. You want to compete with big daddy street fighter or something but making a new fightin IP is hard compared to another platformer or something. A single character takes forever to develop when you include movesets, animations, balancing, then you gotta do that 10 more times and people will still bitch about there only being 10 characters
Then your game dies and you have another discord fighter with 15 people playing and everyone else goes back to SF
Fightin relies on brand recognition probably way harder than any other genre

>>716373512
I think it would be silly for them not to do an EVO sale, but we'll see. iirc KOFXV went on sale around EVO the same year it came out, so I don't see why they wouldn't do it for CotW too.

>>716343159
That was what BlazBlue was intended to be too, and we saw that it eventually had to develop higher execution characters because CT was an unbalanced mess.

>>716373013
>like it was a failing of the game
It genuinely was though. More so failed because of SNK's usual incompetence and retardation but because of the game as well. Nothing to make it standout, only 4 girls in a 17 character roster when you have Blue Mary and that other chink bitch right there, the retardation that is kain and hokutomaru
>>716373390
>another mass of SF players
Anon SF players did not buy or touch cotw and will not get cotw because of ken. Hell most of the usual snk fans didn't with how the shit did worse than kofxv.

Havent played smash in ages but I've been thinking about remix since the recent update. Is it pretty active online these days? And how good or bad is netplay?

>>716368851

>>716373390
They did a great job on his theme. I wonder how many people left CotW initially for Fighting Collection 2/CvS2? I think I saw some posts on socials to that effect.

>>716342946 (OP)
Non trolling, absolutely serious answer: Street Fighter
It might not be the best in general, but (almost) the entire genre is based on it so if you learn it, you learn the basics and can then play everything else

>>716373390
I remember seeing some people say that Mai and Terry look better in SF6, but they both have fucked up faces imo. Meanwhile Ken actually looks good for the first time in forever and it's because he's a guest character in another game.

>>716374458
Mai is the only good looking character in that piece of shit so they are right about that part at least.
Terry though... holy kek
