I would love to play Xrd more over CF personally, but currently IRL friends are on CF something fierce. The one I play with the most loves Es and that bitch is annoying as gently caress to deal with.

But I like playing as Nine, so my goal is to get good enough with her that I force my friends to quit and go back to Xrd.

Kagura is fun though, even though I hate charge characters

It was important to be able to do this in Tekken 4 as well. Half of the cast started off locked in the arcade, with one new character being unlocked each week; however, the next character that would be unlocked would show up in the random character rotation. If you had the timing down, you could play that character early.

I'm fascinated by arcade fighting games unlock systems, who even started that poo poo?

I think that's a Tekken thing, but I might be wrong. A lot of games had hidden characters but the first one I remember tying them to time was Tekken 3.

Super Turbo, I guess? He was a ghetto time-release character inasmuch as Capcom reps waited a while before telling operators the unlock code.

I wanna say Sakura was a time-release character in the arcade version of Rival Schools, which pre-dates Tekken 3 by a couple years, but the time-release concept existed before fighting games started doing it, anyhow.

I want to say it was some version of Mortal Kombat 3 where the title screen teased Smoke as a character before being unlocked eventually, followed by Ultimate 3 having other characters like Sub Zero, Mileena, and Ermac.

i believe as stated above they began in mk3 because of the popularity of the reptile stuff in mk2? but midway developers realized if you have additional content that you cant get right away people will keep coming back to the machine. its kind of why mk was even popular in the first place, there were so many secrets. also, you know, violence.

These were unlocked via "Ultimate Kombat Kodes" entered on a special player-accessible screen, with the codes leaked out over time.

The MK style of secrets was perfected with Bloodstorm, the game where dumb random horseshit happens every round for no reason and there are "exclusive" codes designed for every big magazine of the time that exist solely to garner free press coverage, and none of it is the slightest bit compelling.

Macs can dual-boot into Windows if you can get a hold of a spare license. It's not as convenient as a native port, and your hardware won't be as good as a dedicated gaming PC (especially if it's a laptop) but you should be able to run a decent amount of this stuff.

Losing to someone in a fighting game is 100% your fault and being angry at someone because you don't know how to beat them makes you a massive baby.

Y'know how Zand keeps saying some people shouldn't play fighting games and he always sounds like a grumpy old man because it's stupid to say someone isn't entitled to the right of playing a stupid videogame? Well, this is literally the kind of person that shouldn't play fighting games. If getting beat by random stuff drives you into such a frenzy that you assault the other player, you REALLY should go play something else. I say this as a salty motherfucker, it's okay to get mad at the videogame sometimes, we all done it, but holy loving poo poo.
