Holy kusoge

For a board that claims to play fighting games, every time a fighting game thread comes up there's silence

>zero replies
This board literally doesn't play games

There's a different ongoing thread right now, some guy started this new one way before the bump limit
>>718191228

>>718205940
That's a thread about Street Fighter, this is a KI thread

>>718206060
The game is 12 years old m8. A lot of people who played it moved on ages ago.

>>718204464 (OP)
I don't really like fighting games but I love KI just because I think the character designs and effects are incredible. Almost every time a new character came out I thought they were the coolest shit ever. I think it got worse over time, though, and it's fitting that the last character was maybe the least interesting one. I don't even like acknowledging him.

>>if your opponent guesses right then they just break your combo
*reads the combo breaker timing*
*counter breaks*
*punishes you for 50% of your healthbar*
heh

>>718206689
Wait is the genre a deep and intricate one with games you play for life and learn or are they disposable shallow pieces of shit like ubislop?

>>718205854
I'm ashamed to say I haven't played KI much despite my love for fighting games. It looks cool but I'm caught in the idea that I'm too late. The rest of /v/ is just full of faggots though, they'd rather bitch and moan about T8 and SF6 and shit on anything else for daring to exist around them.

Fighting game faggots are so corporate worshipping that they didn't play this game because it was on the "wrong" companies platform
They don't give a shit about the games

>>718204464 (OP)
Manuals
Counter breakers
Shadow counters
You're a little bitch faggot

just do all your damage in one hit

>>718209298
shadow counters have nothing to do with combo breakers

>genre is supposedly about skill
>if you don't pick one of the very few top tiers then you auto-lose
lmfao

>>718209396
boring af not being able to close gaps

>>718210501
fr fe fuck fundamentals fuck positioning where's the manufactured corporate approved advertiser friendly HOIYPE™

>>718210054
>playing top tier character
>get washed by "low tier" because I don't know what the fuck they're doing since nobody plays them
Now what

>>718209126
It was an Xbox One exclusive for almost three years which reduced the potential playerbase significantly. Most people didn't want to deal with anti used game policy, having to be always online, weaker hardware than PS4, and more expensive than PS4 because bundled Kinect bloated the price $100 more.

>>718211578
I mean KI is not really a game about footsies and fundamentals
the whole point of the combo breaker system is to let them make a bunch of stupid broken bullshit moves that are not reasonable to play around in neutral but also not make them instantly end the game after one yolo nonsense interaction
KI kinda started the modern HYPE stuff in some ways actually, basically every design decision from the mechanics to the visuals to the sounds were for hype first and other considerations second, though the community kept it from being advertiser friendly what with all the constant teabagging and all

>>718211792
So again, literally ignoring the game because corporations

>>718212073
>why weren't people wasting 500 dollars on a piece of hardware to play just one game

>>718212046
OK non-player
KI is by far the game with the most emphasis on fundamentals, at least for modern games

>>718212393
>>>>also on pc
Also if you actually gave a shit about the community and scene you'd find a way

>>718212590
wasn't on PC when the game was good, PC version was keits slop

>>718212842
Gibberish post
It's on PC now so there's no excuse

not playing killer keitstink

>>718212479
that's not even a controversial statement man, ask any of the good players. Fundamentals obviously matter like they do in literally every fighting game, but fulgore spent the entire lifespan of the game doing fullscreen meterless fireball>teleport mixups and Maya's daggers can literally just be tracking unblockables and it was basically fine because if you got hit you could just break out.
you can like a game even if it isn't le epic patient footsies neutral all the time

It's Garou/VF4 syndrome everyone talks it up but no one actually plays it and it turns out it wasn't that great

>>718216842
More like fighting game syndrome
Why is it every arcade genre is hyped up so much yet no one actually plays
