I thought there was an option to give the characters tights or something like that? Just turn that on and play it, it looks like a pretty fun game and you won't have to worry about pantyshots turning you into a sexual deviant. Otherwise, I dunno, just don't play it? It's not like the scene will be all that big. So, anyway. KOF XIII. What are the chances that Americans will pick up that game? The series was popular as all hell here in Brazil and the rest of South America, but I feel like even at its apex, it wasn't all that popular in the USA. Am I right? If it becomes somewhat popular, you'll start seeing a lot more of South Americans at big majors, I'd wager.

Wavedashing isn't that easy and just-frame stuff takes practice too. Now, I haven't played Tekken decently since Tekken 3, but it wasn't that easy execution-wise, it's just a different type of execution than SFIV or Marvel.

Waterbed posted:Also I think knowledge is a barrier of entry people refuse to admit exists. If you removed execution most bad players who think they're good would get stomped anyway, but they'll probably just blame something else. I'll echo this. I find out that most matches I lose in SFIV, it's because I don't know how to react with my character to what the other guy's doing. I play great against 'Gief and Ibukis because I know I can pressure with cl.MK and not get thrown or that I should throw fireballs and zone with my st.MK and HK in the first one, and that I can punish blocked Neckbreakers really hard and fireball-zone Ibuki until she has meter, but if I play a matchup I seldom play, like Rufus or El Fuerte, I'm hosed.

I actually enjoy playing SFIV, but I personally think they could've done without one-frame links (or at least so many 1f links), I dunno if anyone agrees. It's such a narrow window that is actually made pointless by plinking in many cases, so why the hell have it in the first place? It just makes the game even more reversal-happy. Feel free to point out why I'm stupid for thinking that, tho.

Blazblue has something like that too, IIRC. It's repeated for five frames or something like that. Maybe I'm thinking about the wrong game, tho.

Sade posted:Ms. Fortune is the only one who's even a little bit gruesome? There's like no blood in the game at all besides her. And her whole schtick is that she's a zombie catgirl with detachable body parts. I think it's a little egregious to jump straight from "made a zombie catgirl character with detachable body parts for an indie fighting game" to "the artist probably jacks off to intestines 14 times a day." One thing that Something Awful taught me was that, if I don't like a certain art-style, and it envolves anything that can be considered a fetish - which is everything nowadays - that probably means the artist is an irredeemable, disgusting freak. Although, to be fair, that's a natural defense mechanism in the Internet.

MvC3 is flashy, but even doing magic series xx air magic series is too complicated for some of my friends, so having a game like Soul Calibur is a good compromise between me being stuck playing Fifa all night long and them being completely lost and not having fun. Oh, wait, you meant why it's not competitive. Beats me, I'm guessing balance and Tekken being a(the) superior 3D game.

Actually, I think this is a fair point. Let's take MvC2 as an example again. The top tiers in that game were far and above everyone else, but the amount of work and strategies required to play made them interesting. On the other hand, Yun just feels like bullshit with his incredibly safe, incredibly dangerous pressure that's not even that hard to execute.

And there's also the fact that some people don't learn well under pressure, and would benefit a lot more from playing casuals, something that's especially true at a lower level of play.

So, the people that play fighting games around here are apparently kinda into Melty Blood, so I guess I'm picking that game up since they won't play SFIV, the only game I'm competent at. I'm loving around as H-VSion right now, which I guess is one of the strongest characters so good on me. Any pointers for someone that's very new to airdash fighters and that would rather sit full screen from people spamming projectiles?

Mio Bison posted:If you're like me and can only learn by ripping people off Spooky's probably the best H-VSion in America and since he only recorded/streamed Melty before SSF4 there's a decent amount of footage out there. Akiha summon ...wait, Spooky is good at a game? I'll check some of his videos out. Thanks ShinsoBEAM! for the tips. The whole Reverse Beat thing is taking a while to make sense for me but it seems like it makes everything that's cancellable pretty safe and leads to a ton of blockstrings. Also, my "scene" is really, really small, about six people at most. It's just that the guy that usually hosts our sessions is really into Melty Blood, he's a mod at the Brazilian MB forum and poo poo, and since the other guys played a bunch of Guilty Gear/Blazblue/Marvel, we tend to play that game a lot. Maybe I'll stop being the incredible turtle that I am because of that, hehe.

Yeah, the mysogyny should stop. During NEC, Persia and Nina did some commentary for Marvel, and Persia actually knows her poo poo, although she's not fuckin' Yipes or anything like that. But all you could see in the stream chat was "get this fuckin' bitches out of here" and variants there of, to stay with a tame example. It got extremely annoying after a while, because they wouldn't say anything that wasn't direct offenses to the girls and flooded the chat with that. And okay, stream monsters will be stream monsters, but you get people on the mic reinforcing that type of behavior too. gently caress MLG and if they support us/we support them, poo poo like this is the most basic step to be treated as a legit competitive thing. That's not me being all whiny about stupid jokes, I love offensive jokes, but you can notice when someone is actually being serious behind that sort of comment, especially when that's all they can say even after there's no girls to be seem on the stream.

How joking you think you are really doesn't make that big a difference True that, but there's a world of difference between a Louis CK standup set and "hurr fat bitches show me your tits or get out", being offensive as a form of satire a la A Modest Proposal, etc, etc. Anyway, this is derailing this thread and we got another one for this sort of discussion. Anyone gonna play Tekken Tag 2? I know you lot are allergic to 3D fighters, but Tekken Tag is pretty fast-paced and actually entertaining to watch. Unfortunately, my low-tier bitch condition flared up and Jun/Asuka apparently suck in this game. Not that Jun was good in TTT, quite the opposite. Fuckin' Mishimas.

PSWII60 posted:So I understand that the 360 pad is terrible for fighting games and I haven't played a fighting game at more than a basic casual level since Soul Calibur 2, I'd love to get good at Ultimate. I've never really felt comfortable, or competent, with a stick and I always used the D-pad for motions over an analog stick. I remember the PDP fightpad getting some buzz, but is that a decent option? Are the motions accurate on the fightpad's thumbstick, or is that more of a lost cause and I may as well just use the stock pad in that case? Or is this maybe more of a just buy a stick, get used to it, and shut up kind of thing? Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, these games are playable with a pad. I can't vouch for the PDP one, although people say good things about it, but even the stock Dual Shock is good enough. If you can get one and an adaptor, or a PS2 one and an adaptor, you should be fine. The 360 controller has a lovely d-pad, tho. Also, you can one-button dash in Marvel and that's a godsend.

Yea, sticks will always be preferred, but a pad with a decent d-pad controller with a 6 button layout for $40-60 would be nice (Madcats fight pads are atrocious, and once a pdp stick goes awry, good luck using it in a game like KoF). Well, Hori pads are supposed to be pretty good - I'm still waiting to test mine, it's at my parents' house.

On the other side, people will play poo poo just because it's extremely GLORIOUS NIPPON-like - even if the art style isn't anime again. We should all just shut the gently caress up about it before the thread goes to hell and do something more worthwhile, like bitching at Capcom for not having patched the loving PC version of AE yet, you assholes.

JesusLovesRonwell posted:Oh so, critiquing a game's art direction is out of bounds now? Nah, as long as you substantiate your claims and don't sound like you're just fishing for an argument - and fishing arguments with BL is a bit too easy - I'm fine with that. Since I think I saw a ninja edit happen, I'll try and argue this in a civil fashion. What exactly is the issue you have with the art style? In terms of the art itself, it's not fantastic, but it's not hideous either. Some characters are better than others, granted - Peacock is great, for instance -, and although it is a bit "sexualized", I don't think it goes any further than any mainstream fighting game we have right now, to be honest. And this comes from a guy that plays prude Rose on SSFIV, hehe. I think we can both agree the BGs are really good and so is the UI so far - it's unfinished, I'll wager. Plus, the effort put into animating kinda makes me give the game a break on art shortcomings.

From what I've seen, the male designs they've shown are actually better than the girls, and they are supposed to be DLC.
