Fighting Game Thread

Anyone got any fighting game series they wanna see come back? I'd kill for a new Soul Caliber or Killer Instinct.
Primarily I'd want another game in the Vs. Series. Marvel, Tatsunoko, or even bringing in Tezuka characters into a new entry would all be interesting to me. Capcom Vs. Capcom would also be great.

(no idea how this would work in a game, but color me interested regardless!)

Darkstalkers would be my second pick.

I really wish Capcom would just move forward with a Capcom vs Capcom game with Marvel style gameplay already.

BBTAG, but I want every single Arc System's roster in it, so GG, Blaz Blue, Persona, Nitro+ Heroines, Aquapazza, RWBY, Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax, Under Night in Birth, Akatsuki Blitzkampf and add Phantom Breaker from Mages while we at it, also add the whole roster from Senran Kagura.
A man can only dream.
 
Browses FGC thread, no fear

BBTAG mentioned, one fear
Nah the game was kinda fire but I also had a similar issue with the roster. My persona arcana heart faves weren’t in it. 😢
Nice Nitro+ Heroines, Aquapazza, Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax mentions.

God I love Under Night to bits, and I played tons of Akatsuki Blitzkampf back in the day. I never got the chance to play the sequel, but I heard it went in a pretty different direction from the original.
 
the name akatsuki blinzkampf alone brings back memories
i believe they added that to the fighting arcade have they not? it may be time for me to revisit that game

It's almost certainly on Fightcade, but I haven't thought to check yet. If you can play Top 2000 Fighter on Fightcade, then surely AB has to be there too.
 

Lads it’s time you either whip out a bag of popcorn or a box of tissues cuz this’ll be either extremely entertaining, or extremely harrowing depending on your main.

I’m a Ryu main so this list in my objectively humble opinion, is a fair and solid list of changes

I feel like Under Night kidnapping a bunch of characters from other Fighting Games to itself at this point lmao. I still can't get over how they added Sion in UNI but not in Melty, her proper game where she is supposed to be the protagonist.
I can't complain much tho, UNI has my boy Merkava after all.

Speaking of those two, i think they are the only of the ''newer'' releases of anime fighting games that really tried to stay true to their roots. Strive feels more and more like a completely different series, not Guilty Gear. I guess it manages to be more popular this way

Looks like Kimberly didn't get changed too much. I would've liked more buffs, but at least Capcom didn't decide to nerf her for some reason.
 
the one time i played the game at a friend's house i played and enjoyed manon - this was around a week after the launch of the game
i might have to bump up the sfvi fighters edition game on my to-get list when money flows a bit more freely for me
Post automatically merged:

my heavens i have placed melty somewhere dark in my mind, how i have not brought up that before now is unknown
melty was the anime fighter i was into for some years, i would love to dedicate time to revisiting it sometime soon
 
I played loads of Melty Blood Actress Again years ago, I was a Ciel and Arcueid main mostly. You're not getting the true experience unless you play it on a laptop keyboard huddled together in the school library.

I have a solution for your problems

This is the real poverty fighting games, you need to have a busted laptop and bad connection to play it, it's written in the rules. Also, all tournaments need to be on the bathroom

The closest thing I have to a main is Blanka and he basically got no changes. Which is fine I guess, he was already pretty good but it is kind of boring. Blanka got some notable nerfs in the very first big balance patch but ever since then they just give him the smallest buffs when it's time for changes.
 
For me, it'll always be Arcana Heart, though Im only really grinding Strive these days. Season 4 is a disaster lol.

More recently, I've been enjoying Hyper SF2, playing and comparing the different versions of characters.

Notable characters to mess around with are the CPS-1 versions of Ryu and Ken, as they have access to their cr.short > s.fierce chain in WW/CE/HF. Zangief's World Warrior version also is much closer to the opponent after using SPD, albeit he lacks green hand and movement during lariat.

One of the character's that I find the most interesting to me is Sagat:

- O.Sagat found in ST is not identical to SSF2's Sagat. O.Sagat in ST can special cancel the second hits of his s.short and s.forward, but SSF2's Sagat cannot.

- CE Sagat has the best low tiger shots. 37f recovery is incredibly oppressive. Later versions are nerfed. I still personally like playing O.Sagat slightly more because of the cancels I mentioned previously, though.

- Holding Start and selecting Super as your version gives you the O. Version of a character, so O.Sagat from ST and SSF2 Sagat are both available.

- In previous versions of HSF2 before CFC1, O.Sagat's low tiger shot was bugged, having more recovery than intended. This was fixed for the fairly recent CFC1 release.

Given Hyper SF2's somewhat scattered/undocumented differences, it has been very fun to see how the characters have changed over the various revisions.

Ryu has been getting pushed hard by Capcom with these patches, he's eating good. Denjin'd Lvl 1 is incredible, it flies full screen in like half a second almost and let's you cash out on a bunch of different stuff.

I went over my mains already in the last thread (Honda, Guile, sort of Gief) and they didn't really get too many changes which is completely fair. Guile is already pretty damn good, and Honda is just Honda; I don't think there's much you can do for him outside of fundamentally altering his moves/giving him new ones and that's obviously not happening. Gief got 90% nerfs which is probably fair as he's been overturned from what I've been gathering since the last big patch.

Fascinating stuff. The multitude of different SF2 versions is such a wild ride of character changes, given how none of them are really officially documented. I'd probably take O.Sagat from ST too, cancelling the second hit of S.LK seems pretty good considering how long ranged it is. And the low tiger shots aren't as bad as in CE, but like they're better than 95% of the others characters still.
