General Fighting Game Discussion

I'm disappointed in the lack of SCV hype. Of course I'm super mad that they've left out (or replaced) mainstay characters, but there's some really high praise for the game. There hasn't been a good SC game in awhile, so I hope this game changes things.

Curleh mustaaaache stream

wow this was awesome. not as many matches streamed as I expected, but it was just amazing anyway, especially (imo) the grand finals. it's really great to see a tournament that doesn't run silly 2/3 sets.

still wanna see Bum v CJ though. ^_^


as for SCV, it'll always have its strong install base and I'm sure it'll have a good showing at Evo. hard to say anything beyond that. good netcode always helps, but I 100% doubt that will happen.

edit: also, I think I just saw "our" Surgo playing on sabin's stream?
 
I'm just gonna take the infraction to clear this up.

There's no harm in saying Smash is not a traditional fighter. That's because it isn't one. Would you get offended if someone said Soul Calibur wasn't a 2D fighter? I'm not going to get into whether it is a fighting game or not, mainly because the definition can vary wildly between each person. Don't assume that not being a traditional fighter is supposed to be a negative comment - it is a neutral one that can have either positive or negative intent depending on the person who says it. Being a non-traditional fighter or not even a fighter doesn't stop it from being a good game, and that's all Smash fans ought to care about if they believe their game is good. I don't care if you say Blazblue is not a fighter as long as you think it's a good game and play/respect it.

As for SFxT, there's not much to say about it. Most of the info we have are centered around the mechanics that create a lot of controversy, it's honestly hard to tell how good the game is. I personally think it's not going to be a good game, but that's just a feeling.

Hey, somebody with a brain.
 
People complaining about Morrigan make me sad. =( Are we really gonna complain about like, literally every character that finds momentary success in this game?

But you were saying that smash wasn't a fighter at all... and then you agree with someone that isn't against smash as a fighter? Even though you were fighting against that a few posts ago?

i think the main complaint is that she is the only character in the game who can build meter while such a hyper is active

someone correct me if that isn't the case though
 
Firebrand Luminous Body, Arthur's armor, Felicia's kitty helper, Ryu's installl thing, and X-23's Dirt Nap are all "power-up supers" where the character can continue building meter (not that it really matters in X-23's case, but whatever).

I'm just weirded out by the fact that this character was considered garbage in the last game, but now that top players (emphasis on "top") are finally putting her to use we're actually getting complaints. It's like, Morrigan is essentially a "new" character. Of course players like Chris G and Dieminion are doing scary things with her, and of course people aren't used to dealing with it (yet).

Is Fight Night a fighting game?

10 bucks says, you say no, it's a sports sim.

And it is, but, I could make arguments that it's fighting game, too, just not a "traditional" one.

Re-read dude's post, all he said was that he feels it's a "good game" not whether it's a fighting game or not.

I never said Smash sucked. I don't play it, I don't judge it. But, I can assure you, by standards of competitive fighting games, the term itself "fighting game" refers to traditional fighting games. IE not Smash.

tl;dr get off my nuts GB2netplay etc.
 
Yeah, but it still makes me mad that (bad box art) Megaman and PacMan couldn't be characters on both consoles, and I'm just gonna assume it was something on Microsoft's side.

Why would you assume it was Microsoft? They are not Xbox-brand characters, Capcom doesn't need their permission to put them in the game. If anything Sony is the factor behind their exclusivity, likely offering them some kind of deal to make them PS3 exclusive.

And while I'm not fond of joke characters (or guest characters for that matter) in the game, I still don't like that they're exclusive for no apparent reason. It hints at Capcom beginning to favor the PS3 more when they're a fairly neutral third party. Really hope this is a one-off event, not the start of a trend. Maybe it was deliberate to make sure they weren't legal in (most) competitive play, who knows.

I'm already sold on the lineup but this would make it even more perfect. I was super fond of these characters in Tekken 6 (not that I played it a whole lot but still), I'd definitely use them regularly in this game.

EDIT: Was considering a double post but I'll just edit this in. M. Bison, Jin, Akuma, and Ogre have been confirmed as playable characters in SFxT. Source.
 
can we discuss SOULCALIBUR 5, as it is insanely good and the character creator is in depth and aadjhfjsdf;'
