Fighting Games; Final Round, FIGHT!

[Paragon Fury]

So with that recent Rolling Thunder article, fighting games are briefly back in the spotlight here. With that being said, its time for the showdo-er, for us to discuss which ones we like best.

Now, we have our more popular ones that consistently sell and do well, like;

Spoiler

Street Fighter


Tekken

Mortal Kombat

Dead or Alive

Super Smash Brothers

And some other games that haven't always been the best sellers but are still popular;

Spoiler

Skullgirls

Blazblue

Darkstalkers

Persona Arena

Marvel vs. CAPCOM

It'd be impossible to list all the fighters here, but that is a good start.

Personally, I've always been the biggest fan of Dead or Alive, Darkstalkers and Smash Bros. I really wish they'd make a Darkstalkers IV in the vein of Street Fighter IV/V. After all, who are we to deny Morrigan the full 3D upgrade she deserves?

I like almost all fighting games to a greater or lesser degree but if I had to name two favourite games it would be Street Fighter 2 Turbo and Soul Calibur (1).

I dont really play much now but I am loving the aesthetic look of SF5 (except Ken) so am really looking forward to that especially as it has been a long time since 2 came out and even more since before it went Super (never liked super and super turbo).

To watch I always appreciate Persona 4 Ultimax and SFIV most of all. As for titles I want to see happen most one is being made and its Dissidia Arcade (seriously hope they add in more character like they want to before the unconfirmed home release) Darkstalkers IV (love Darkstalkers) CVS3 and The Last Blade 3, also while they are at it where is VF6 sega?

I really think we are in a golden age of fighters atm well 2D fighters now anyway as for 3D ones DOA5 is the only one that has impressed me lately. SC is presumed dead until notified otherwise although there was that corpse called SC Lost Swords that shuffled around but luckily that is being put to rest again (actually that is the one fighter I can think of I despise).

Tekken 7 has failed to impress me much tbh but I will try it out its just it reminds me of DOA4 in that it just feels stale at least in aesthetics and aesthetics are a huge part of the genre for me not as important as gameplay ofc but its a pretty damn close second.

Soul Calibur is prob my favourite series (or was as its prob dead now) but SF has always been up there since SF2 is what made me love fighters in the first place. I was never a huge SNK fan despite greatly respecting their games as for the longest time it really was between them and Capcom if you wanted to play a decent fighter but they had some damn amazing quality fighters. I just hope that the KOF series at the very least continues KOFXIII looked and played amazing and even if they do go the 3D model route like Capcom I dont mind as long as the game continues to look and play awesome (please dont relegate the property to solely make pachinko machines or some other nonsense.

I recently got in to fighters a couple of years ago. While i did play them as a kid i never understood the depth until recently. Having played some as a kid i have absolutely no problem with the joystic motions and whatnot.

I started with UMVC3. Becauae that shit was swag as hell when it first came out. I dropped the game after the discovery of infinites. I tried every release since to discover what i liked and didnt like.

I can't play 3D Fighters to save my life. So anything by namco is out of the question.

I like Persona 4 Arena but hate Blazblue. So i like anime fighters but not unbalanced execution heavy ones.

Anything by neatherealms feel clunky to me.

I really got into SF4. I like the methodical slow pace matches.

I also really got into Guilty gear xrd. That game is well balanced and a lot of fun.

My main game right now is GGXRD. Elphelt main and Leo sub. Until SFV comes out. Rainbow Mika all the way. I almost cried when i saw her reveal. I was so happy. Man people are gonna eat so much ass when i get my hands on her. Taste the rainbow motherfuckers.

I play tons of fighters and am competitive at them/have won sums of cash at tourneys. None in that top group though. Some were mentioned. I'm confused GG not being mentioned when things like Skullgirls and Vampire Savior (darkstalkers in the west) were mentioned, after being so huge at evo and having the best and most innovative look in a LONG time in all genres of gaming (last game with such a breakthrough was Okami for the ps2 back 10 years ago).


The games and main chars I play are as follows:

Blazblue Chronophantasma Extend: Shishigami Bang
Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-: Sin (used Holy Order Sol in +R)
Under Night in Birth Exe Late : Seth
Dengeki Bunkou Fighting Climax: Shakugan no Shana/Aihara Enju
Arcana Heart 3 Love Max!!!!!: Kamui/Darkness



Oh and Morrigan has had multiple 3D upgrades. Games such as marvel 3 and tatsunoko vs capcom have Morrigan in 3D.

Imo, 2D high rest sprites are way better than the look of something like the modern SF games. Only Xrd is an exception to this rule. (so again I am befuddled by the lack of mention of it lol)

I like Persona 4 Arena but hate Blazblue. So i like anime fighters but not unbalanced execution heavy ones.

While BB is definitely more execution heavy, Persona is MUCH more unbalanced in every sense of the term. If the unbalance is what irks you more than the execution-heavy nature of the game (due to you liking Xrd, which is not at all easier than BB, this is what I interpret to be the case) I would strongly urge you to try the latest BB out again.

 

[Harlemura]

I have an on-and-off relationship with fighting games. I really, really like them, but don't actually have any local friends that play them so my swings with them never last too long. Online play's nice and all, but throwing down with the person actually sitting next to you can be half the fun of fighters.
Doesn't stop me getting super into them every now and again. I'm the kind of guy that can spend hours and hours in training mode just trying to get a combo down. And depending on the game, namely Skullgirls and Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, I sometimes find training and finding neat tricks more fun than the game itself. Though nowadays the only time I play is to occasionally fire up Ultra Street Fighter IV, play like four games to see if I still remember my Sakura and Guy stuff, then that's it for another two weeks.

Super psyched for Street Fighter V though. Glad to see R. Mika back even though I think I only played Alpha twice so being excited makes me feel a bit of a fraud. But out of the cast revealed so far I'm most interested in playing Ken. Never usually play shotos (unless you count Sakura) because they always seemed really versatile which meant waiting for the right moment to use the right tool and that just made me super bored because I'm too impatient to not constantly be on the attack.

Spoiler: Hence why new Ken seems right up my street.

Lookit him go yeah zip zop zoom fire boom whoo.

Shoutout to Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax, which I'm looking forward to solely for Durara's Shizuo and Toradora's Taiga.
Though apparently Shizuo's a trash-tier character which is ridiculous. The guy's strong enough to rip street signs out the ground and smack people with 'em, how's he worst out of a cast that's like 50% schoolgirl?

 

[Sleepy Sol]

I've fallen off a bit in playing fighting games recently, but they're still some of my favorite games to play semi-competitively. I just need to get into the local scene around where I live to really keep me motivated to play. I've dabbled in almost every fighting game released in the past six years that wasn't a '3D' game.

So basically KoFXIII, UMvC3, multiple iterations of SF4, multiple iterations of BlazBlue, and GGXrd. I'm still interested in playing all of them provided I could find somebody to practice with, but I mostly find myself playing BlazBlue and Xrd nowadays.

MKX was also surprisingly fun for a short while. But I don't like any other NRS games at all.

As someone who has owned the JP import version of Dengeki for almost a year now, I have good news for you.


While Shizuo is low tier, the game overall is literally the most balanced game ever, mainly due to assists being common to use for every char. That being so, you can most definitely keep your own if your skill is high enough to not be overshadowed by your foe's skill. Taiga is also kinda low, she's the inferior Kugimiya Tsundere in this game, though she's still quite awesome as well. You'll remember the anime's most cool moments when you see her attacks. Things like kicking down the phone pole, her wooden practice sword stabs from episode 1, even her fight with the student body president, they're all in the game.



Also, to be fair, most playable schoolgirls in this game are much more OP than Shizuo when we look at the stories of those Light Novels/Anime/Manga, they tend to have god-tier powers. The sole exceptions are Tomoka and Kirino.

 

[FPLOON]

Only Smash, Skull, Blaz, and Arena take up my fighting game time nowadays... with Soul the second, MvC, and FiM tieing for the last spot in my Top 5 in terms of playtime... Don't get me wrong, I still have my mains and shit...

Talim; Kilik; Maxi; Xiba*; Sophitia*; Xianghua* (Soul Calibur)
Noel; Makoto; Taokaka; Bang^; Litchi*; Lambda-11*; Jin* (Blazblue: Continuum Shift Extend)
Ms. Fortune; Peacock; Valentine; Cerebella* (Skullgirls)
Yukiko; Yosuke; Teddie; Aigis* (Persona 4 Arena)

And, to add to that particular list:

Mr. Game & Watch; R.O.B.; Mewtwo*; Zero Suit Samus (Super Smash Bros.)
Phoenix Wright; Deadpool; Rocket Raccoon (Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3)
Rainbow Dash (Fighting is Magic)

Other than that, I only choose "random" if I'm playing Smash Bros. at somebody's party, I'm playing someone else's copy of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, or I'm playing a different fighting game for the first time...

But outside of Smash and Soul, for the most part, I only seem to gauge them from a local versus perspective than from both that and the PvCPU perspective... Still haven't gone online on the one's I befriended on PSN for, so I apologize to those individuals in particular for not even setting up a few sparing matches, at least...

Other than that, on a related unrelated note, I did not realize that I broke my one and only fighting stick until I tried it out a couple of weeks ago... (I'm blaming it on neglection from my part...)

Well to be fair. I got in to BB kinda late. The first i played was CS:EX. And i bought Guilty gear xrd on day one. So that may be why i think BB is harder than XRD. I was learning XRD at the same time as everyone else.

BB just seems to have a lot more the take into consideration mechanic wise. Hell the tutorial was danting for me and i can't even beat the CPU on normal. Damn hazama. Then i go online and all i see are Jins.

I also made the mistake of trying to learn Taokaka first. I saw some taokaka swag combos on youtube one day and was like "I WANT TO LEARN THAT". Yeah didn't happen.

 

[Hieronymusgoa]

After Street Fighter 2 and Clay Fighter I might have had a long hiatus which was broken only once by Guilty Geat. Nowadays it's Injustice and Mortal Kombat 9 for me. I like MK but I adore Injustice.
The new GG doesnt have Anji which I am very disappointed about. He is my main like Kitara in MK or Zatana in Injustice (is that camp...it feels camp)

 

[Ihateregistering1]

Nowadays, I have to go with Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct. I love Mortal Kombat's whole "heavy metal" vibe and sheer brutality of the combat (not just the fatalities), and I've always had a soft spot for Killer Instinct, and I thought they did an awesome job of translating the nutty combo system into a modern fighter and make it work so well.

I'm not a huge fan of Japanime style animation, thus games like Guilty Gear and Blazblue have never really pulled me in. I did like Darkstalkers, but largely because I thought the idea of classic movie monsters duking it out was really awesome.

Just watching that V.R. Mika trailer for SFV...did their ultimate move just involve two thong wearing women smashing a guy's head between their butt cheeks? When did SF turn into softcore Dead or Alive?

I briefly liked Tekken for a while too, but the series just seemed to get more and more batshit insane as it went on, and more and more reliant on juggle combos that do ludicrous amounts of damage.

Xrd is the latest GG game though, there's been over a dozen of them and the series has been going since 1998 and as someone who played a lot of accent core +R, getting used to Xrd was easy as pie. I went into it without practice in a local gathering and could do combos/was beating people, all thanks to past experience. In stark contrast, BB started in 2009 and has only had 7 versions so far, it's about half as hard to get into it.


I think your issue was that in BB there's a higher percentage of really good players because the community is smaller so you got bopped day and night so you figured it was harder. In Xrd, because GG is bigger due to being an older series, there were a higher percentage of newbies, so you didn't get destroyed as hard. Honestly, getting bopped by really good players is better for your improvement since you see a lot of things that you otherwise would never know they were possible. You just have to kinda not give up due to the losses.


If you use Leo, try Azrael or Kagura in the new BB, they'd fit your style more. Taokaka is cool but she is one of the harder chars in the game. It'd take a while until you got her down. She's like Chipp in GG, you need to master her movement options to use her even slightly ok.

 

[Poetic Nova]

Nowadays, I tend to stick to the few Guilty Gear games I own. That being:
Guilty Gear PS1
Guilty Gear Dust Strikers
Guilty Gear Accent Core Plus

But since one of my mains debuted in the worst in the series (GG Isuka) I mostly tend to stick to AC+.

Still waiting for Bridget and A.B.A. to appear in Xrd, as long as either of these 2 remain absent I won't be playing it.

Used to play Tekken 3 alot when I was younger, but hardly play it nowadays. Paul might possibly still be my biggest bane in the game. Own Skullgirls aswell, but haven't played it in over a year, which is a shame since I had a blast playing as Squigly.

 

[The Wykydtron]

I love BlazBlue CSEX but I still haven't got the money to get a PS3 to get CP. Let's hope the PS4 has some backwards compatibility.

I play nothing but Mu-12, Makoto and occasionally Hazama because if you don't enjoy playing Hazama I have no idea what is wrong with you.

I still think Persona 4 Ultimax was the best balance in terms of actual mechanics, character tier lists aside. There's a perfect mix of noob friendliness in autocombos but plenty of room to improve from there once you've learned your character. Labrys is still my favourite character in the entire game followed closely by Shabrys. I still have no idea what the fuck those buffs to Yu were though, two new supers? Why? He was already high to top tier in Arena.

I played a lot of UMVC3 a year and a half straight when it first launched. I saw the rise and fall of Dark Wesker, the discovery of Vergil as God Tier (Sword Swag Combos yo) and the discovery of the first Doom TAC combos. Then the online just got too hard and too salt laden for me to reasonably play in, my lack of a reliable 3rd character (I tend to only pick up 2 characters in solo fighting games and UMVC3 is no exception T_T) and the fact that I played Phoenix Wright from launch meant that the handicap I had was out of control.

I've played a decent amount of Skullgirls and it has the same problem BB CSEX had in how the online is basically made up of people who have their characters down to a T and they can and will pull off 80% combos and reset them like it was nothing. Some people will tell you getting stomped automatically makes you learn the game, and they're right to a point. However I have not once learnt a thing from being locked into a corner from second 1 and held there until I die over and over again.

[Scarim Coral]

Well I grew up with Street Fighter 2 Turbo so I always bias to say Street Fighter is my favourite despite I haven't played it for a while (it's my bro who is the biggest fan cos he was the one who bought Turbo).

Soul Calibur 2 was a great game on the Gamecube and I also applaud Skullgirls as a new fighting game franchise.

Oh sick, i'm actually gathering reasons to shell out for a PS4 now, the inevitable CP EX edition was out in time for next gen I see. Did they fix Kokonoe by the way? I've heard that she was permabanned at every tournament in vanilla CP. She actually was the secret OP character kept in the wings by the BB Suits apparently. Someone (think it was Tager) called it as a joke in CSEX.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I'm really, really bad at fighting games. Like, comically bad at them. I can get through some fighting games post-Dreamcast but a vast majority kick my ass. I couldn't get through Mortal Kombat 2009's story mode but I was able to beat Soul Calibur with multiple characters. That being said though, I've always liked to try fighting games. I liked Injustice and the aforementioned Soul Calibur but the fighting game I had the most fun with was Guilty Gear X2: The Midnight Carnival on the original Xbox...but then I downloaded the demo for Arcs' latest fighter Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden...it's not out yet so until I have my copy I'll just go on about Guilty Gear X2 #Reloaded which is incredibly fast, it has excellent characters and, an amazing soundtrack...even if the title song is a shameless rip-off...

Nah Koko wasn't banned, she just had some silly stuff. No Kokonoe made it to top 8 of evo last year in fact. BB is balanced so while some chars are better than others it's still skill that really matters.


That being said, everyone's very different in CPE, Kokonoe's higher mid now. Lots of chars who used to be bad are now a lot better. Even Tager somehow managed to be A tier in this game.

 

[blackdwarf]

Obvious 'smash is no fighting game' comment here, but whatever.

and funny you put marvel in the low sellers, because for a couple of years it was the most popular fighter out there. I couldn't stand the actual gameplay tho.

I love fighting games. Have a lot of friend who love them too, so that results in having spend a lot of time playing them. Now I am mostly playing SFIV because of the upcoming game sequel. I love me some Tekken and also really liked the anime fighter Persona Arena.

I also spend a lot time playing Soul Calibur, Blazblue, Injustice and some more.

Can't stand MK and never bothered with GG due a lack of Sony consoles. looking forward to the PC version of KI but think it is way too late and the release is around the same time of the release of SFV so why bother with KI?
