fighting games

I remember it like it was yesterday. It was 1995 or maybe 1996, time distorts when you're forty-five and I was holding that black Nintendo cartridge with both hands, like holding a trophy, even if it was a trophy rented for a weekend at Blockbuster. Killer Instinct for Super Nintendo wasn't...

Not huge on SF6, but caught the Ingrid trailer and if you know you know. If you don't know, Ingrid was part of a trio of new characters for the cancelled Capcom All-Stars game for the PS2. She's made a number of guest appearances over the years, and is implied to be some sort of cosmic level...

Explain why/how

As much as Most games are appealing to me, nothing quite like fully learning and consistently hitting combos in fighting games for me. The sportsman-ship showed in most fighting games amongst players is very nice too. Seeing communities like DBFZ and MVC3 and how awesome and intense those...

It’s that time of the year folks. WrestleMania! The most prominent year where the major wrestling storylines collide, celebrity involvement to push the brand, and high octane action all compiled in one full spectacle event! It’s as huge as the Super Bowl, Premier League, Oscars, and EVO all...

Ignore the videos, this is simply an example of the complications I fear moving forward... I wanna be Shang Tsung and have a big fighting game tournament on RGT Island, and I've been talking it over with some of the Mods to try and get awards and signature banners and stuff to make it actually...

It's always something special when you end up matching two characters and a special intro plays. Even if it's just an aesthetic thing (except in Guilty Gear where it actually fucks you up sometimes) it's always fun when it happens. Kinda makes me want to match up the whole cast and see what...

Does anyone know a fighting game that features Hatsune Miku? Official, homebrew, hack, anything I run a fighting game blog and have no reason to post Hatsune Miku, but I'm also a massive autist and really want some Miku stuff on there

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...

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...
