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

"She saved my life!"
- Ling Xiaoyu, just after Alisa almost KILLS her.

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'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

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)

Interesting little piece of history

 

[solnK!]

Accent Core Plus and 3rd Strike peak fighting

I've fallen back to my old addiction so I've installed Melty Blood (the 2002 original build) and tried arcade mode

Sadly it feels really slow compared to Actress Again.

I love that 00's doujin game feel

Been on and off fighting games, I mainly play SF games but I love experimenting with other franchises. Once I get my life in order I'm gonna try to go uber competitive again but for now it's playing kusoge with my friends.

 

[DjQuick2008]

never seen this x box bloody roar to tonight this game franchise needs brought back.

Mortal Kombat games were much worse about this.

It's worth nothing that this does not happen in Street Fighter II on the SNES. On the SNES everyone has clear patterns and weaknesses you can exploit no matter what the difficulty setting is.

I unironically like this

Call me nostalgic but I do prefer the X-XX era of GG over Xrd onwards. Xrd Sign/Rev/Rev2 is visually impressive at replicating the "2D-ness" for a 3D (2.5D) game that I wish Street Fighter went that direction instead for V and VI but the series has let the "heavy metal" feel and Strive really miss some of that "edge" that made Guilty Gear different from other fighting games.


I haven't tried BlazeBlu yet but I feel like it's kinda the "Persona of Guilty Gear".

Nah you’re not alone. I like May’s design a lot more here.
My best friend also doesn’t have strive so he and I just play older stuff, and I don’t like installing larger games on my steam deck anyhows.

GG1 is maybe a bit too rough on the edges but X/XX are still fun to play from time to time.

I really liked that promo, the cheesy voice acting adds some points.

I've fought Baiken (the secret 1CC boss of GG1) and yeah, I kinda used Savestates and Instant Kills to get to her.

It's still cool to see how much has been implemented in the game.

But I think Guilty Gear X is much better (even if it's somewhat a prototype for XX/X2).
