fighting games

Tutorials in fighting games have always left a lot to be desired. They usually show you what your buttons do, run you through system mechanics, toss you a few combos to try and then that's about it. You wanna try and improve and compete with the best of em'? You’re on your own… unless you’re...

Fighting games are well known for having great soundtracks - do you have any favorites? Are there any that you find to be under appreciated? Here are some themes that I really love from the genre: Phoenix Wright's objection theme from UMVC3 is a great rendition of the music. The cool and...

After having a discussion with @AkiraSO4 that suddenly had brought our attention to fighting game bosses, the idea came up for a thread all about the topic! Feel free to discuss anything about bosses in fighting games here! To start, I'll mention the boss that helped coin the term "SNK Boss...

Do you have a favorite or least favorite input in fighting games? This can include combos as well. My personal favorite special inputs are the backwards charge moves, such as Urien's chariot tackle and Guile's Sonic Booms. In terms of combos, my favorite combo to execute is a toss-up between...

I had come across this game in a Japanese video about the worst PS1 games, I thought I would try to play it and finish it, and I did. What caught my attention the most, besides being one of the fighting games based on the Ranma ½ series, was that it had a strange mechanic where the character...

I'm trying to play as many different things I can with my ps2 and I think only a small percentage of genres haven't been tested yet, that includes fighting games! I'm more of a 2D type of gal, so if you got any good 2D (or even 3D, if we're low on options) I'd like to know!! Btw, you guys like...

I’ll start: - Zoner archetype - Tiny character - Disjointed hurt box on all normals - Has Morrigan’s Astral Projection - Can summon a pillar on opponent - Has a high pitched voice - Has a burst mechanic, allowing them to somehow be plus during an opponent’s combo - Best super requires the least...

People that play online fighting games, or even if there are more advanced players here that try to compete seriously, what do you think about the actual fighting game scenario? I ask this because i still believe we are in the 3rd fighting game golden age and although they are talked more and...

“Hey, man, you should give this game a try, it has Sai from Akatsuki Blitzkampf?” “Oh, yeah? Let’s see…” That was the exchange I had with a friend regarding this innocuous fighting game. It started as something small but quickly evolved into something truly magical. Accompany me on this small...

Not sure how to contact this Justin Gibbs or someone to do it on my behalf ... but it would be nice for him to make a slight update on the ... uh ... splash screen ? I couldn't help but feel a tad irked seeing the 'you how' each time I load the game ... ironically for a English translation of...

The introduction to this may be seen a little off-topic (it´s may be seen or can be seen? I suppose the first option fits better in this context) but I want to make this a little personal. There is this friend that I appreciate like a brother, he was there for me in very harsh moments and...

Not sure where else to put this since it would be covering a variety of systems and games so I figured why not make a general. Talk about your favourite games, what you're currently playing, ask questions/advice, etc. I'm personally a huge fighting game guy of both the retro and modern variety...

Hey Guys I'm looking for a good fighting games Snes or genesis with 60 frames any good hacks ones there?

I played 7 Blades for PS2 a few months ago, having seen the cover on metacritic, with little to no information listed for the game. I looked it up on youtube, at first only seeing it on channels by people that trash on games for a living, but I scrolled down and eventually found a review by...

Fighting games are not the place one looks to if they are looking for a game with great storytelling. But I am curious which fighting game stories you guys found to be your favourite or had a lot of fun with(even if they may not have been the most well written). I find myself really enjoying...

1. Monster Party A side-scrolling action game where you play as Mark, a kid armed with a baseball bat who teams up with a gargoyle named Bert to fight through bizarre horror-themed levels. The game is a fever dream of surreal enemies, from a giant onion ring to a killer fried shrimp. Its sudden...

The gorgeous pixel art, oh how I long for you! I hate how all the 2d fighters still go for 3d to save on budget, makes all of them feel the same.

I wanted to know which fighting game series people preferred because alot of people tend to split depending which region like the USA is street fighter while KOF is preferred by many in south American and asian territories. I don't want to so im looking forward to your responses and personally I...
