Fighting Game Central

[Graves Ruinwalker]

Here is my wildest take :
Tao Feng is actually cool and even fun .

Yes the cover is hideous as if the character exile (on the cover) tasted some forbidden chocolate .

But this game has something so next-gen on it but at the same it looks like a made-up game too from a sitcom .

What suprised me was that the graphics hold up really well and the character models looked great . Even the females looking appealing somehow .

While the gameplay is rather weird and very strict with its inputs ( you press the buttons strictly how many times they should be pressed and in a specific rythm to get the whole combo successfully ) , the concept of the damage models where very great from round to round and even a limb-damage system was added that give that game another interesting spin .

EVO-material ? Never . How the balance is in the game is really a chaotic experience .

But a fun-fighter to play for few matches inbetween ? Absolutely fun .

Sad that this game got bad rep but it has something that made it still outstanding . The UI , the soundtrack , the over-the-top 2000s martial arts shenanigans and the modern asian-culture setting just somehow sells it .

Tekken 6, Street Fighter III 3rd Strike, KOF'98 are my favorites

Always love me some dating sim features in my fightan games.

I play tons of fighting games, but as of late, Dead or Alive 5, I main Hitomi.

Gonna start playing Melty Blood again soon, I main Akiha in that one.

I've accepted the fact that DOA7 will never happen, only by a miracle.

Do the Japanese CGI RE films count?

To add to that, the original Mortal Kombat movie(1995), the best video game to live action adaptation ever.

The remake or Actress Again?

The remake or Actress Again?

I'm thinking Act Cadenza, I love all of them, even the earlier primitive ones. I like to shuffle through them, they each have their own strengths, but Actress Again Current Code is God Tier for sure, hopefully in the next one, they will bring back Sion, and Ryougi Shiki

Played Tekken 3D Prime Edition at the school, it was very fun, watching the Blood Vengeance movie on 3D was a fun experience.

That movie was bizarre haha. But I loved the fight scenes.

"She saved my life!"

There was also this guy-friend character who was a classmate to her and harada really wanted him to get into tekken but he realized he has no real fighting style and like yeah no shit lol haha

I emulated it on the PS2.

Wish I had the very first release.

It's a real treat, cool to see how far French Bread, the developers have evolved since the first release. I recommend playing Tsukihime, the visual novel the games are based off, their is also a manga and anime based off the visual novel. Most people hate the anime, it's alright.

I've got a few friends gushing about 2XKO, but man I can't bring myself to care about it. In general, none of the upcoming fighting games are resonating with me very much >_>

Probably doesn't help that it's got the single worst title for a videogame everm but I think it looks somewhat interesting. League's main strength for me has always been the character designs but I hate the game, and I mostly get my info on it from my brother who loves League, but isn't as into fightans as much as I am.
Weird that it's got no Yordles yet though, I'd kill for Poppy to be playable.

i would kill for arkadysja to implement ps2 games for tekken 4 and 5

 

[jesterodoll]

i think a lot of the new fighting games look really slugish and muddy like a lot of nrs games (i kinda hate the mk series)

Garou : Mark of the wolves

Always loved the Soundtrack and the sprite art is absolute peak SNK-masterpiece till to this day .

Bloody Roar 1

This was my debut 3D-fighting game on the Ps1 and still and an awesome banger from its masterclass rocking Soundtrack to its relentless gameplay . While other prefer 2 or 3 , i still think that BR1 is the best one with its bloody & aggressive gameplay while the combos and action just rocks harder than the sequels overall . I mastered that game that the highest difficulty is for me still childsplay . Even Tekken cant top that underrated fighter .

Dead or Alive 3

I got it as my first Xbox game and i was instantly hooked with its visuals , the its aesthetics, cultured Waifus and especially the gameplay ... honestly , the gameplay is addictive and truly the better alternative to Tekken . And yes , the DOA Waifus are peak eye-candy too .

Samurai Shodown 3

I think its one of the best and smoothest Samshos of all . Another favourite SNK-banger.

SVC chaos

Had this on Xbox but sadly lost it when i gave it one friend . Still hunting the Xbox copy which is for me the best console port of it . While others consider that a Kusoge/Bad game i actually liked this game much better that CvS . Rough to get into till you understand its combo system and break this game into when you get into full speed with it . Love it even with flaws .
