EVO WEEKEND - edition

>What is /fig/?
/fig/ is a thread for viewers to find, share, and discuss idol vtubers who play fighting games and (beat em ups), either from large companies, small ones, or indies, as well as to discuss fighting games about Hololive and other vtubers in general.

>So is this thread about fighting games or Idol showdown?
Neither: this is a thread about idols and fighting games.

>But what is an idol?
An idol is something unobtainable and moe that makes your kokoro go doki doki (WIP)

>Is {X} a fighting game?
Temporally we will define fighting games as games fighting idols play.

>Are beat em ups a fighting game?
No, but we will use the loophole above provide a home for them temporally as well since most of the fighting idols also play beat em ups. If the genre seems to have a revival at some point, we would recommend splitting this thread (again).

>I have no friends, can I ask for games here?
Just post a request in the GAME ANCHOR

Anchor post for finding games. Idol showdown, Street fighter, Tekken, Fightcade and also posting replays for any help or to show something off. Anything goes, just keep in mind that not everyone has the game you own.

Maining Lily is a tragic thing

>>102953671
I still find it hard too believe that she's mexican. Is it the stupid hairstyle?

>>102954382
the problem is that in general the whole thing is a mix up of two cultures: T hawk is clearly a native american indian that doesnt look or dress at all the indigenous mexicans
The only reason he was tapped as mexican is because SF2 people decided the US flag wasnt interesting enough I guess
This makes lily being a mexican very confusing

wao

>no motions
fuck oooooooooooooooff

>>102958477
The video shows quarter circles, dps and down down motions, but it's still a bloated ass control scheme. Although apparently it doesn't reduce the damage if the motion is used instead like the original GBVS.

Also unrelated but the nepotism Slam has a meetup at EVO. Serotina, Huntress and Amour are scheduled to appear but no Shoomimi, even though she was on the winning team last time. Guess she wants to avoid self doxxing at all costs or just wanted to win the free trip and won't touch fgs ever again.

>>102960768
>Although apparently it doesn't reduce the damage if the motion is used instead like the original GBVS.
people keep failing to understand the whole point of people demanding motions is not because they like motions, is because they want to have an advantage from having wasted their lives playing fighting games for the last thirty years
The boomer equivalent of "I had it hard when i was growing up so you should suffer too"

>>102961596
I like motions because it activates my autism
pressing a special button doesn't give me any joy
all they have to do is add a fire ball motion and a tatsu motion and you can sate most people

>>102961850
have you tried osu

>>102961865
no im not asian or a girl

>>102960768
oh you right
based

>>102961988
maybe you will discover your inner asian

>>102961596
I do like motions but the problem isn't the retarded idea of others having it easier. It's that the way most devs are trying to solve the issue is really counterintuitive. HxH, 2XKO and most of the incoming tag fighters are like

>get rid of motions and have 3 attack buttons but also like 6 more to account for the rest of the mechanics
>surely this won't be confusing to anyone

SF6's Modern also has that issue but it's mostly a pain in the ass for anyone playing with stick or leverless.

>>102961596
>people keep failing to understand the whole point of people demanding motions is not because they like motions
no, you're the one not understanding how fun it is to pull them off

>>102963360
you have been doing those motions for decades now there is no challenge

>>102963353
I think the problem is that the devs are afraid of putting actions on inputs that use more than one button. Pokken put universal mechanics on multi-button inputs and was able to fit an entire control scheme on a D-Pad, Four Face buttons, and two triggers.

https://x.com/ShimadaTiger/status/1951061817008201971

Is there even a 2d fighter that only has 4 buttons like tekken or is it impractical?

>>102968509
whats the point of playing fighting games if you dont insult your opponent in your head

>>102969561
KOF, but then people get filtered by learning a team and certain motions. It's not that daunting at first until you fight the mexican uncles that play literally nothing else and hop all over the screen.

>>102960768
seems like indeed shoomimi isnt going to touch a fighting game again

>>102970034
Injustice 2 also had 4 attack buttons and simple movesets but I can't remember if that game was sweaty as hell I only played Batman and grundy

>>102970547
it was sweaty because it was NRS but also no one played it because NRS games die within the year

HARADA NOOOOO
https://x.com/MataraKan/status/1951070926302245152

>>102968509
She should post her insults in /fig/ instead

>Shimada is the hworang hater poster

horse...

Dude genuinely why bother inputting when it won't work

sleb

>>102978621
just have fun man, why angry at the game fighting against you. I just spam buttons and characters do cool shit.

Ema jumping back and forth between gold 5 and plat 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k83ypTd2NYo

>>102979167
Because the game doesn't let me do cool shit unless I hit the buttons that I hit. Plus, depending on the circumstance, I die instantly if the buttons drop.

>>102979122

wao!

this claudio character never got fixed did he

>>103082665
At least they nerfed his partial charge thing

at the cross roads of not wanting pakis to win but not wanting claudio to win

jdcr really just not giving up on drag

Can't they at least make the losers best of 5. Going out like that must suck

>coaching

I hate Claudio so much

>presses a button when he was on the other end of the screen

cygames should just make a uma fighting game

that ed gameplay was wild

those dive kicks are kind of questionable but he still got it

SSRB stick seen

muh bracket

it suprises me how even if there is a lot of fucking guessing around in sf6 the top 8s are almost always the same people
maybe guessing is a skill

nah this character is whack, I thought they nerfed his ass?

fuudo clutched that out

>>103090541
some characters are unnerfeable

im gonna need takeru to win this

>>103090907
