I've been playing Street Fighter 6, and Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves online on PS4 the most these days. Been sticking with A.K.I and my previous main JP both roughly around 1500MR. Looking forward to trying out Alex, C. Viper, and most likely going to main Ingrid

My initial choice was B. Jenet since I main'ed her in MOTW, KOFXI but I've been enjoying Salvatore Ganacci the most, although I eventually settled for my Garou secondary Hokutomaru. Whenever SNK decides to release Andy Bogard he will most certainly be my new main

When I spent hours on FC2 lobbies my go-to fighters were SFIII3S, Garou MOTW, SFA3, and KOF2002. Some of my mains and secondaries in order of proficiently: Necro, Remy, Twelve, Q, Oro, Alex, Ibuki, Elena, Sean. B. Jenet, Hokutomaru, Freeman. Vega (claw), Cody, Juli. Benimaru, Kyo, Choi, Mary, K9999, Ramón, Kula, Whip, K′.

I've been playing Jojo All Star Battle R quite a bit recently. Awesome fighting game as well as Jojo game, just needs some better netcode. As for mains Fugo was my first choice, but I started playing a lot more of Avdol, Baoh and recently Speedwagon.

I still need to play that, I'm a pretty big fan of Heritage for the Future.

 

[Lokgamer]

Bloody Roar will always be my favorite.
Also like (and still playing): Dead or Alive, Mortal Kombat, Soul Calibur and Trill Kill.

Been trying to properly learn VF4EVO
Maining Goh because I think he's cool af

It's not the smash hit people where expecting it to be but it's still doing comparable numbers to KOF15, which is good for modern SNK.

That's fair enough. SNK have always kinda been the underdogs in the west. Does make me happy to know they're still making games considering as a company they've nearly gone under like 3 times now. At least with that Saudi money they'll probably be sticking around for awhile lol.

Hell yeah, Heritage is awesome! I definitely recommend checking out ASBR if you get a chance

For new fighting games, I've been in between Tekken 8 (despite the drama) and Street Fighter 6. I can say that Street Fighter 6 is a lot more fun to get into than Tekken 8 in regards to casual players.

For oldies: Capcom Vs. SNK 2 (DC) and Bloody Roar (PS1). I really do hope someone drops a Phoenix Down on Bloody Roar. Whether a reboot or a remaster, doesn't matter. That game has been slept on for decades. There's so much under the surface of this edgy Animorphs fighter. More people should know about it. Plus the OST slaps.

I'm an oldie I can only agree, mate!

Begone, foul beast!

Begone, foul beast!

It's obvious Anti is crazy for you. She's even losing her tsundere side.

 

[Stingy Perry Stingy Perry]

I forgot to add Samurai Spirits/Shodown series and the Arcana Heart series

 

[bigstinkie]

i have been playing kof 2002 um, tekken 8, project justice, and kof xiii at the moment
however i would like to put more time into tekken 8 with the recently changes to the game, and return to tekken tag tournament 2 for funtime with friends

anna williams is simplified in tekken 8 compared to her past iterations but i think tekken 8 has a whole is more accessible in that regard.

Samurai Shodown is another big favorite of mine. I really wish the newest one would've gotten more of a chance.

I used to play a ton of Arcana Heart 3 on PS3 too, at one time I was a top five ranked Petra main on the NA online leaderboard.

 

[Emerald Flowsion]

New Virtua Fighter is easily my most anticipated game.

Otherwise I love fighting games in general. I just don't have the time to play them all.

 

[RanmyakuIchi's icon RanmyakuIchi RanmyakuIchi]

I'm curious, does anyone have a kusoge or poverty fighter they mess with? I've spent more time with Jackie Chan Fists of Fire and Survival Arts then I care to admit.

 

[bigstinkie]

hokuto no ken is not a kusoge it is in fact my favourite game from that developer
but many call it kusoge... it is not i that refers to such a gem by that word

I'm going back in, the fighting game bug has taken full hold of my faculties.

 

[bigstinkie]

i would like to try street fighter vi sometime. i can almost never justify spending money on the video games so i have been late to try sfvi. the only reason i am able to play tekken 8 as well as the recent characters were due to a friends very kind gifts. i do like the art direction and style of sfvi a lot

I think it's a good one to jump into, even outside of the fact it's obviously the largest playerbase for a SF game right now. I have my complaints with it here and there, but the game is overall well designed to me and mostly pretty well balanced.

 

[bigstinkie]

that is very good to hear. i enjoyed sfii third strike and sfiv, really sfv was the only one i was rather nonplussed with
so i do look forward to eventually playing sfvi

 

[Octopus]

So I was excited for the Manon changes in the newest SF6 season, then I actually tried them out on training mode and they're not really anything major. The patch notes left out that it's only on punish counter that MP>MK ends in knockdown, but you'd probably be better off just punishing with a command grab anyways. It's good for setting up a meaty on wake-up I guess with either overhead B.MK or B.HP or whatever, but it's not as big as I thought it was from the patch notes. Punish counter HP>HP putting opponents in juggle state is actually pretty decent though, gives her another combo route since you can go into EX up kick from there into whatever. People online are losing it over her MP nerf on opponent burnout which is funny to me, that shit was legit too silly to be left in the game.

Honda though? Fuck yeah, the stomp juggle is a lot of fun even if it's not a huge change. Best and most meter efficient use of it I've found is after a punish counter HP, you can slime rush in on HP hit and get the stomp juggle and from there do the usual S.HK into whatever. There's probably much better uses of it, that's just what I got so far.

Bottom 5 characters where Honda, Jamie, Marisa, Manon and Lily. Honda buffs are minimal but he's the best of the 5 so he didn't need them as much. Jamie and Marisa changes are nice, fixes a lot of stuff. Manon and Lily didn't get the help they need and are the only 2 characters in the game right now that I would truly call bad.

Yeah that bottom 5 checks out to me. Manon has been consistently such a shame. Some weird buttons and nothing that's ever really that safe or plus on block, aka what makes a top tier in SF6 generally. Maybe Capcom's afraid of ever really buffing her since her medal gimmick is (potentially) really strong if she hits max level.
