Well then. I guess I have a gateway into traditional fighting games now.
bruh
I highly recommend slayer. He is a pretty simple character for new player to learn. Like it was said earlier in the thread, Low tier in GG doesn't mean unwinnable.

Welp, went through the tutorial. Still having a little bit of an issue with combos in that I'm either too quick or too slow on the next input, but otherwise I get it. I did play a lot of Accent Core (by myself) so I've got all his specials in my brain, but the actual execution is still getting me. I would play online, but there is no one on right now on the east coast. And I can't wire up my PS4 until Monday.
Dad shattered his ankle today, saw this and finally smiled and couldnt stop laughing. Feeling a lot better after seeing that lol. Thanks for posting it. I needed that.
Just wanted to give a shout out to the insane work on the editing and production of your videos.
East Cost Online GG is pretty dead until after school/work hours. PC at least, dunno about PS4.
Glad it brightened your day. GcYoshi is an amazing madman, haha.
Thanks! I'm still not sure whether I know what I'm doing, haha.
Sajam commented on it too lol
(and not to toot my own horn, but like in the first months of ERA we had a thread on execution and I basically argued the same thing he did, to dismay of many people saying the genre is archaic artificial bullshit)
Doesn't seem like anyone is making a CEOTaku thread? I can throw one together if that's the case.
Rivals of Aether devs streamed themselves competing with the fan made characters from the first days of the Steam Workshop beta:
Good times were had.
Good times were had.
I played dozens of fighting games in the 90s, I only learnt about framedata in the early 00s. You dont need any of that to learn a fighting game.
In Street Fighter 2:
-Did you know that Zangief's crouch fierce beats most jumping attacks?
-Did you know that the shoto's standing short or standing forward beats a lot of standing attacks, including all the normal kicks of dictator?
No Framedata nor training mode will teach you any of that. Play the game, win, lose, play the game, experiment, be creative.

How is that game these days? I don't think characters even spoke in combat when it launched but now I noticed they do.
It's one of the biggest labors of love I've seen from a dev in a long time. I'm buying all their passes just out respect, even if I'm terrible at tag fighters and am ambivalent about Power Rangers.
Here's Max making it look way better than I could

I agree that people might get hung up on frame data when they've got bigger fish to fry, but frame data matters a lot more in SFV as opposed to ST. The design of the games themselves has changed.
I forgot about the other events going on this weekend. What do you guys think about converting the CEOtaku thread into a thread for REVmajor and the Street Fighter tournament as well?
I would say go for it, none of them are big (for ERA) enough events to have much response I think.
Yeah, I've noticed that with CEOtaku specifically. I'm away from my PC right now so I'll work on converting it in an hour or so.
I've updated the thread OP with all of the tournaments. A mod should hopefully be changing the thread title soon.
Great shit in grand finals. Dacidbro really beginning to show off how scary doggie is.
Absolutely loved seeing the Gia Moran combos in loser's finals. They are so simple and amazing feeling to do. Essentially do her grapple special into lows then launcher jMjH M,M and shoot for loops if I remember the jump part right.
She gets slept on for the new hotness every time a character drops but legit her and Red have remained top tiers since launch though Gia lacks a lot of utility as an assist outside of gtfo purposes. They've slowly risen higher since magna got a bit more fair.
Such a fun game to do combos in. So excited folks are showing up in force lately to support it.
Did you ever beat someone in a multiplayer game so bad they quit, went to play a single player game and kept insulting you over voice chat for destroying their will during a saturday?
I just did and it's glorious.
(Best part is my friend went to play Slay the Spire and just commented he had draw 2 Flexes and 3 Angers lmao)

Oh seeing as I mentioned Soulcalibur early thought I'd share something. I know there was a post about Tekken music getting added to streaming platforms earlier in the year (I'm using Amazon Music) but I've just discovered that all the Soulcalibur OST's have also been added!
Thank you for the recommendations! I may look into some of those if this thing takes off.
I'm looking to supply a couple of controllers (not sticks for space/portability reasons).
But maybe it would be better to let people simply bring their own. Is there a universal adapter that might work with USB or pads from other consoles (long shot; not even sure if this is okay...)
Brook makes adapters as well as universal fighting boards for stocks. The adapters you have to buy individually for other consoles, the board is universal.
Kinda neat that we may get new GG '20 characters revealed every 2 weeks.
4 Hours of Virtua Fighter 3
90+ mins. of King of Fighters 98
Capcom vs. SNK 2 matches
2+ Hours of Super Street Fighter II Turbo
1 Hour of King of Fighters 02 UM matches
1 Hour of Garou
2+ Hours of Melty Blood

Exactly.
When I first got Street Fighter IV a decade ago my first online matches were intimidating because it's 1on1 and there's nobody to blame but yourself. After my first session I learned the following:
1. If you don't hold back once in a while you'll get blown up.
2. Learn to spot when it's "your turn".
3. Being able to consistently do a fireball to keep players out, punish with a simple fierce punch for +100 damage and have an anti-air button went a long way.
In my opinion that's all you need to start out in a fighting game.
edit:
ofcourse it helped that it was early days and you were likely to bump into other new players.
Loving the combo structure of bftg more and more.
At times I feel like I can juggle folks off normals as long as tekken once I get em in the air too. Easy relaunches, restands, bounce stuff...all that before I even do assist or super. I'm so glad. Means I can save my assists for setups instead of combos which is always better.
Got a recent quote on Dai shi and Eric Myers from battleforthegrid.com
"The evil spirit of an ancient eight-headed dragon, Dai Shi was imprisoned long ago until his seal was broken. Dai-Shi is a highly agile melee fighter that boasts unique movement options and attack angles unavailable to the rest of the cast. He is an effective fighter grounded or airborne."
"Eric Myers - Power Rangers Time Force (Available in October ) Eric Myers worked for the Silver Guardians as a simple soldier but eventually claimed the Quantum Ranger powers for himself and was able to travel back in time and claim the power of the Q-Rex Zord. Quantum Ranger is a long-range fighter that utilizes blaster shots and teleports to harass opponents from a distance. His offense greatly increases when his Quantum Defender is switched to blade mode."
Sounds hype as fuck. Maybe a black panther or akuma demon flip thing for Dai shi movement. Eric sounds like I'm about to create a new cable 4 shot team to harass with. If his sword is good enough Ranger Slayer may drop off my team.

From the T7 thread, good link to share :
Holy shit yall...nway is dropping teaser vids in the discord of something g they are working on for 1.6 at a later undetermined date.
OTG UPDATE.
Yall need to get in the discord and look for mp4 vids from nway in the character boards.
So far I've seen Drakkons teleport into low slide otg, Green Ranger air S knife dive otg and what appear to be new animations.
Dont know how long this beast will take to complete but holy shit this changes combo options even more and new animations is awesome. Loving the new second hit animation on ex genocide cutter.

Yea I saw this a few weeks ago. REALLY really good stuff. Wish this was implemented in fighting games somehow instead of a tutorial mode.
Shady_K you mad man.
1.6 sneak peak notes
They add that at any point in its lifespan and I will scream like a little kid.
Also get ready for my Drakkon. Dude finally clicked and I'm setting up a team with him Trini and I hope either Doggie or Eric Myers. Either way Drakkon with lasers means I'm gettin my left right mixup off teleport.
1.6 sneak peak notes
- mastodon sentry landmine can otg. in 1.5 they also added the ability to toss it near or far so he can long range otg off gun stuff soon
- Drakkon has a new animation on Ex Genocide cutter and has a new OTG off of teleport into slide kick (M). Given how you can loop that move to continue juggles easily and how its a very fast long range tool he gained a very easy to abuse otg. Even if you drop now you'll get OTG and likely keep it rolling
- Green Ranger can OTG off of AIR S knife dive. Thats a huge long range OTG so now you have a followup after you side kick folks making it a starter move!
- Udonna can OTG off of her ourobourus ice balls
- I swear the graphics look improved again somehow
- Goldar can OTG off of seismic sword
- Magna defender's overhead chop move otg's (not sure of input.) Also looked like maybe his air S had an otg but I'm unsure
- Gia Moran air S rope sword attack can otg. Given she has a tendency to knock folks pretty far this is a much needed thing.
- Ranger Slayer can OTG off of her arrow cancel from fwdS, her slide, as well as her super from the looks of it O_O
- Ceno Blue's fully charged electric shockwave otg's
- Doggie's Vajra move and his giant sword moves both otg
- Trini Laser and air S all seem to OTG

Lol. Goldar serving up 2 for 1 supers. Never seen a special counter a super like that.

WHAT?!
Yeah I regularly see people like Maximillian do 90% with Red Ranger and the dog. It seems absurd.
