Off the top of my head: Chun, Boxer, Dhalsim, Rolento The last two are good in all three, though. A3 will forever have a spot in my heart because of kattobi cancels. One fight night, we pulled out A3 and somebody was showing Flying Zangief's inescapable tick throw. It did poo poo damage, but come on flying Zangief

The Dreamcast will forever be held dear to my heart for Project Justice. Tardy Counters have to be one of the dumbest mechanics I've seen to date. They're nearly identical to Alpha Counters except that they're free.

Sirlin has plenty of good ideas, but the second you challenge him on any of his opinions, he goes through a complete mental breakdown. I recall reading one of his tirades on M:tG's marketing strategy and how it was a scam to squeeze money from the players. It was a well argued piece. But one of his readers replied in a very civil manner, pointing out that some people find the collecting aspect of the game fun. Sirlin's response was something along the lines of "You enjoy having things that other people don't," and it quickly degenerated into an attack on the reader's moral values. It was absolutely surreal to witness Sirlin's inability to accept that different things are fun for different people. EDIT: The way Zand described him as considering himself the "God of Logic" actually covers it pretty well. And while we're discussing Sirlin, I may as well plug Kongai as a fun game until you get RNGed out by Popo.

Another silly idea: Take the top tier character from every major competitive fighting game and throw them all into a single game. EDIT: For a somewhat serious answer, I would probably make a fighting game using the Three Kingdoms (Dynasty Warriors) lore. Probably a ground-based + weapon-based game. I would not, however, base it off of Weaponlord. inthesto fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Jan 12, 2012 |

My trick for doing Ken short short super is to buffer the QCFs inside the shorts so the confirm is as simple as pressing the kicks at the end. I do d+lk, df, f, d+lk, df, f+HK for the confirm. It's a scrubby as hell trick and only works with Ken, but oh well.

Boxman posted:Anyway, there's also a functional reason to prefer a square gate - diagonals are actually easier to hit with them. Once you figure it out, DP motions are really easy on a square gate. Easier diagonals is the main reason why I prefer square gate on 3D games. Trying to play Soul Calibur on a circle gate is pretty irritating.

South Town guy posted:I like it that they bothered to toss in SF1 characters in the poll They left out Street Fighter 1 Mike (who is indeed a different character than SF2 Boxer)  It is funny seeing Karin at the top of the poll at nearly 18%, though. EDIT: I also ended up voting for Juni because she had a lot of cool stuff in A3, although in retrospect hoping for a character with an airdash, pushblock, 360, and teleport in a Tekken game was kind of stupid.

For people who take better care of their equipment than I do, what's the life expectancy on a stick? I have the Hori Real Arcade Pro EX (Tekken 6 edition) that I bought about two years ago, and I can tell the buttons are starting to give out. Because it's a Hori, replacing the parts would be a giant pain in the dick that's more likely to end in disaster than anything else. I'm asking because for some reason, 2 years feels like a short lifespan for a stick, though when I really think about it that's about how long each one has lasted me in the past.

IIRC, Horis need to have the bottom plate unscrewed, and then you have to undo the bolts to the face plate and pull it off. I remember fixing my Tekken 5 Hori from ages ago (2007ish), and that was an incredible pain. I'll try taking it apart, though. Not like the stick is magically going to become more functional if I don't do anything.

oswald ownenstein posted:So why do we hate Sirlin so much? All circle-jerking FG crowd bullshit aside, that is. The more detailed answer to this is that for every good idea or opinion he has on game design, he has an equally bad one - most recent example: He thinks that hitstun and gravity scaling are more intuitive infinite protection systems than the one found in Skullgirls  . I've seen on several occasions where somebody else is foolish enough to attempt to challenge one of Sirlin's worse opinions, and he has a tendency to let his ego go berserk and just talk down the other guy without actually addressing any debatable points.Aside from that, he likes to be overcomplicated and pretentious about explaining things (which is ironic, given how much he harps on needless complexity). The yomi think is a great example, but another one is how he felt the need to apply the terms "slippery slope" and "perpetual comeback" when everyone already just calls it "snowballing" and "reverse snowballing".

AXE COP posted:"Don't start a chain with a move you've used before" seems pretty simple to me. Yeah, I recently found out there were other rules in addition to that. Moves that restand seem to get hit particularly hard. If that were the only rule, though, it would be miles easier than hitstun or gravity scale.

So I was thinking of making my own fighting game based on the Windjammers IP where you can only perform specials and supers if you are in control of the frisbee. If there are any indie studios developing a fighting game in need of a designer who doesn't actually contribute anything meaningful, I am accepting.

Bisse posted:Characters like Rose are never going to be the best in any game ever because ITT, a guy who's never played SFA2. Anyway, my two cents on the original question is that a given series is going to put emphasis on the same fundamental tools, and characters who are strong in those categories will be consistently good. For example, consider Ryu and Ken. Fireballs are one of the defining characteristics of Street Fighter as a whole. Ryu, the character designed to have a better fireball, is consistently a better character than Ken (most notable exception to 3S, where fireballs are at their weakest). It's my understanding that KoF has a similar pattern where grapplers tend to be consistently good across games, but somebody who has actual knowledge about the games should be the one to comment on that. It's interesting to note that there are plenty of SF characters who hit all over the map too. Gief is a prime example being generally low tier in SF2 games but extremely good in SFA games (and generally high-mid in SF4 IIRC?). Other characters off the top of my head who have both been significantly good and bad in separate games are Dictator, Boxer (though I don't know if I should really count A3 Boxer), Cammy, and Blanka.
