Fighting Games Era |OT| Two-Button Dashes Are Great
- Thread starter Karsticles

- OT
I feel like there was some talk of a player doing that once, but nobody was that sure it happened because actual games won/lost aren't really tracked that closely in most tourneys.
So in Brawlhalla we can in fact play all unlocked characters in training mode huh ? Sounds like a good idea, who would have guessed...
Anyone playing that game here ?
EDIT after a few games :
- I see that ragequitters are replaced by a bot in match, interesting. They have a window to come back if it's an accidental disconnect.
- The casual free for all mode is also very cool for blowing up steam in, especially when you still earn currency in it. Custom lobbies also available, daily and weekly missions / rewards.
Perhaps I'll have some bad surprises, but currently, I dig it, and for once I find matches very quickly, that's a first for me the last few years. The guys in charge of the online system seem to know what they're doing.

I don't know if it's only available on steam, but here are the stats anyway : https://steamcharts.com/app/520440
Depending on your location, it varies. I don't normally play in casual or ranked match so I can't speak for how good the matchmaking is, but lobbies are usually pretty active.
Usually at least 1-2 rooms for my location (east coast) but I see a good mix of West and Mid. Usually I see a few lobbies other countries, but if you make the room they will come.
Just noticed that UMvC3 PS4 discs are going for $55+ used and $150+ new on Amazon.
That's gonna be real fun when the license expires again and the game vanishes from the online store.

I'm still thinking about this. This is the idea that's stuck with me all week. Like this is something more people could stand to think about.
Yeah, generally people are just risk-adverse when it comes to getting out of their comfort zones. They fail to participate in things because they fear ridicule or embarrassment during the learning process, all the while ignoring the fact that that kind of response to people trying is reserved squarely for the bathroom stall at Patty's Pub. People that aren't sociopaths don't judge people for trying and failing at things and they don't expect you to excel or be the best - unless you claim to own that goal. Then the expectations are set and you open yourself up to be criticized. People don't treat you like a competitive player unless you project that type of status.
I've been currently trying to put some time in to learning Tekken 7/SFV. I want to support as many fighting games as I can with the limited time I have. I know that means that I'll be potentially spread thin - I get to play maybe 2 hours of each of those games a week - but my expectations for SFV/T7 are currently low enough to not exist. I don't expect to win games on or offline, and I don't expect to become some major figure. I just want to be able to be competent enough in the games to be able to share dialogues with those communities and support them. Enter tournaments at a local and give them an extra body for the bracket and prize pool. Try to be a real FGC member and not just a "Guilty Gear player" kinda like I was 15 years ago, and a lot of others were, before all this shit started becoming Hollywood.
Speaking of "out of the water", learning a platform fighter like Brawlhalla is something else... But at least now I'm finally able to understand what the fuck I was seing in the smash bros tournament streamings, and it makes it way more entertaining. Playing "For Honor" last year was also a great experience. To bad those type of FGs are frowned upon in certain circles.
Bonus, it's the first time in a long time I don't have to wait 15 mn on average to find a match in my region, so at least I can have my fix now and be motivated to progress ^^
I suppose, I just never played any. It happens that I enjoy it, so win win !
Besides the Ninty appeal with their characters i easily realised it is a pretty good series
The gameplay is easy and fun. I literally bought it cos i had a Wii U(bought for Bayonetta)
Then 200hrs later
Here's a fun question for you guys.
Out of the fighting games you enjoy playing, popular or not, old or new, which three do you wish you had a local scene that doesn't have one?
For me

For me
- Arcana Heart 3 Love Max Six Stars
- Tatsunoko vs Capcom Ultimate All Stars
- King of Fighters 14
All I have nearby are Smash and SFV. If I want an MKX/Injustice crowd I got a 3.5 hour drive. No Marvel, GG, DBFZ, KI, BBCF,BBxTag, or misc poverty crowds at all either. Very rural and spread out in WV. Upon map study apparently my best states for my game interests would either be Florida or Illinois. Not gonna lie...if I could afford to move out of my current place Illinois has some pretty decent spots in my field with a lot of gaming goin for em. Be cool to hang at the weekly Galloping Ghost stuff.
Would really love that KOF, TVC or AH scene though. Anytime I turn one on I'm sucked into it again for weeks just exploring and having fun full roster.
King of Fighters XIV
Tekken 7
DBFZ
Yeah, no local scene whatsoever. There used to me some small Street scene, I don't know if it's still active. Wouldn't do much of difference anyway as I prefer watching than play those.
- Soul Calibur 6 (Granted the game hasn't come out but just the hope of one would be enough)
- UNIST
- BBxTag
Is it me or there are no comeback mechanics whatsoever in those games lol ?
Can i remove smash from my scene
2 remaining can be Yatagarasu and ....Rising thunder
git gud
also pick a top tier
I'm actually in a really lucky position these days. We literally play everything in my area of FL. You can find a scene for just about any relevant game.
Yeah, exactly. Tekken has always been a series I've enjoyed playing more than watching, but I've never been much of a consistent player outside a very short stint with Tekken 5 while waiting for Soulcalibur 3 to release (definitely should have stayed with Tekken 5 lol). Seeing everyone get so enamored with a lot of Tekken majors recently has been making me feel really left out, because I know hype moments are happening, but I'm not relating to them proper because I don't understand the game enough. I really want to rectify that with as many games as possible. Again, the goal isn't to be competitive necessarily, just competent and sympathetic to other scenes.
Speaking of Smash, I'm probably gonna start hitting up the Sunday Melee tournaments in my area too. Just probably won't have time to really practice lol.
I saw someone talk about UNIST. Probably gonna start playing that a little, too, since CEOTaku is coming up. Don't want to have to just play Guilty Gear the whole weekend. I was hoping the game would be cheaper by now, though.

Rage, but that's not nearly enough to carry you back against someone who knows what they're doing.
Having played some tekken in the past already gives you a strong start
And 7 is by far the mpst entertaining to watch
How do I find locals in my city? I live in a pretty big city. I dont suppose there's some kinda master registry?
You may want to see if your state/city has a fighting game group on Facebook. That's how my local scene organizes their events and meet-ups for casuals.
There isn't, but Facebook is your best bet. If you're in Austin like your profile says, try https://www.facebook.com/groups/ATXFGC/.
Indeed, i cant rhink of many other fighters that would match it in speed.
You could try hitting up known players that live in the state over Twitter and asking them where people play . I know of Hamad, former SF player that now plays Guilty Gear, lives in Texas. So does Kizzie Kay and Kid Viper.
Can try checking https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MhOFOJjPO7DwrfEbecis_RN_AtfqkrtUZrc0WuoeDfk/pubhtml#locals and see if theres anything there
I'm in Austin, Texas. I'd be down to try my hand at almost anything I guess
Thanks guys I'll get on it
Thanks guys I'll get on it
I chilled with the Austin guys last week. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ATXFGC/ is the Facebook group where meetups are posted for the most part. Pretty solid scene for anime/dbz/sf.
Don't know if this has been posted already, but here's some AMAZING high level play from Japan's best VF players:
Makes me really sad there hasn't been any news from SEGA regarding the sixth installment..

Perfect! just joined
Gotta travel out of town this weekend but hopefully soon I can attend something
That Jeanne player (who sports the white custom outfit on the character) is my fave VF5 player, so damn good.
SQEX and SNK finally made peace over the whole High Score Girl debacle: she joins Million Arthur as a striker, Iori joins as a fighter, and one Arthur joins SNK Heroin Tag Team.

Quite happy to see Examu still getting good work. One way it would have been even better would have been a character from SS0 instead of Iori.

Third Strike is incredibly fun at all levels, and there are a lot of people playing it still.
Couldn't find any info about the results of NeoGeo World Tour, had to look it up in their Twitch channel, KoFXIV and 98 finals here:
