Fighting Game Thread

New board calls for new threads, and what better subject then good ol' Fighting Games!? So share with us what you're playin' and who you're mainin'!

I've been getting back into ST and Alpha 2/3 lately, maining Ryu in the former and Sakura/Karin in the latter 2. Hoping to getting back to playing them with friends soon once my schedule clears up a bit. These games always feel like coming back home to me.

I'm not really playing any regularly at the moment, but I do love me some fightan!

A friend bought me the new Granblue VS game for PS4 along all the season passes as they come because he actually plays the mobile games and it was the only way for him to get the goodies (since you apparently don't get them via the PC version) but I've only touched it a bit. It's really fun though, and it's simple enough that my friends are okay with playing it occasionally.

I bought Street Fighter 6 last EVO sale, and I guess it's alright. I think it's really ugly though and that removes some of the fun (along with a pretty uninteresting roster) since so much of what makes a fighitng game good are the visuals. I make a pretty mean Zangief on it though.

My favorite fighting games of all time are Marvel 3, DB Fighterz, and probably SF Alpha 2.

Been trying to get back into SF6 lately since that season 3 update just dropped. I also want to pick up the new Fatal Fury sometime soon too. Used to try and keep up with all the new fighters coming out but the genre has been going in a direction I don't like for quite some time now so I'm much more selective on what modern fighters I pick up.

Haven't played any old fighting games lately but there are a countless amount I want to try and get into or pick back up, just gotta take it one game at a time . Particularly want to check out the old arcsys scene, since I played a lot of Xrd when it was current but haven't spend much time on the other games.

I mostly play Tekken 6 psp, and 3rd strike on fightcade. Shit at both of them but once you get their "rhythms/feel" down, it's like the next best thing.

Fighting Games!
I think I should first mention Groove on Fight first because I just love playing that game even if it's just arcade mode for me, give me Solis and Remi and I'm having the time of my life.
Other than that I always love Vampire Savior, that game is so good and I can lab Buletta all day without getting tired of it (Don't try to do the Sako Infinite because you will get humbled quick lol)

Been trying to get back into Guilty Gear XX AC since it's one of my favorites but been struggling to find the time to really knuckle down and relearn that game. Considering buying that new Fatal Fury as well but I've heard that game was pretty much dead on arrival so idk if there's much point in going for it and learning the game. Other than that, I was messing around with the Dreamcast version of KoF 2002.

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.

 

[rugal]

mostly play
darkstalkers to ps1 and saturn
bloody roar to ps1 and ps2
variable geo

 

[OPT1MUS]

- Tekken (PS1)
- Street Fighter Zero (PS1)
- Variable Geo (PC-9801 / PS1)
- Bloody Roar (PS1)
- Soul Edge (PS1)
- Dark Stalkers (PS1)
- Rival Schools: United by Fate (PS1)
- Garou Densetsu (PS1)

Geez, gotta stop here, or I'll go on forever!
These games are timeless... (aside the "nostalgia factor" )

Wanna get back into Garou and Last Blade 2 when I settle back in too. I love those two to absolute bits.

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.

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

 

[NachoChi]

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!

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