Time to get the bad anime fighting games along with the good ones.

Oh man, Guilty Gear comes out on PC and the anime poverty floodgates just open up. I feel like at this point, the only anime fighting game not slated for Steam is the Chaos Code followup.

Yeah, it's not bad. Fun to play on occasion but not a ton of depth or anything, fairly samsho like.

Someone told me the netcode is actually okay too but I have no idea if that's true or not.

That's what Daiandoh was saying at the last Team Stickbug event at Next Level. I have no idea who he was playing or what kind of internet connection he's on though.

I just added both you guys. I might not be able to play until next weekend as I don't even have Fightcade downloaded at all and don't have much time this week. But I'll definitely be around in the future. I'm down to play whatever, but am specifically interested in SamSho, is there a group for people playing 5 on fightcade?

Japanese game devs taking advice from a westerner and likely being in charge of implementation sounds shaky to me

It doesn't have a great track record, but I feel like Arcsys' willingness to listen to the community and respond is better than it's ever been, and I don't see any reason why it would change. If you had told me in the early 2000s that a vast majority of fighting game franchises would be available through Steam with online play I would've laughed and called it a pipedream. We live in a golden age of PC gaming, so many games past and present available at your fingertips.

Thanks for the responses, I'll try to make it out sometime. I can't find much information about what goes on there, is it just the tournament or are there free matches going on? As much fun as it sounds, getting knocked out in round one doesn't seem like very good practice.

There are casual setups you can play at, and more free up as the tournament progresses and the amount of participants dwindle down.

Yeah, it's a shame they'll probably never do sprites again because HD sprites are a nightmare to make or whatever, but I'm glad the game exists at all and looks like fast fun. And shockingly it's going to come out feature complete, imagine tht

They're not a nightmare to make, the problem with KOFXIII is that the way SNK went about making HD sprites was the most time-consuming, labor intensive, and finicky method for creating HD sprites that's known to exist. I forgot who explained it, but it basically boiled down to 2-3 Blazblue characters could be created in the time it would take 1 KOFXIII character to be made. SNK's just really good at shooting themselves in the foot.

As far as I can tell, there is no good source. The best thing to do is find super high-quality versions of the images you want and take them to a screen printer to print on canvas.

This got posted in the SFV thread but I don't think anyone posted it here, anyways, SFV producer said the 8 frames of lag were an intentional choice, and then Spooky speculated this was to create greater parity between the online and offline experiences. gently caress Capcom, they don't deserve to have the privilege to create another Darkstalkers game, outsource it to ArcSys.

Just ordered a bunch of seimitsu parts for my fightstick. the key to winning tournaments is having the most expensive peripheral right???????

I haven't actually played with seimitsu stuff (famous lats words) but I like the idea of a stiffer stick and hammering on buttons so they seem up my alley.

I know in general Siemitsu sticks are preferable for shmups as they have a much shorter throw than the Sanwas. I imagine this would also be helpful for fighting games that place emphasis on the stick being in neutral position, like Tekken. As far as the buttons go, I don't know much about the difference other than the Seimitsu buttons feeling less responsive (not in a bad way, more that they don't activate with a feather touch like Sanwa buttons do).

Shadows of Mordor and Mad Max have both been fine. I know the Batman thing and is a shame since I own Arkham Asylum and City and they're both cool too. Seems that they just went crazy with Arkham Knight :(

The PC versions of both Mad Max and Mordor were created by the main developers of the game from the get go (in teh case of Mordor teh PC version was the main one, and the console versions were ported from that), whereas all of the other recent WB PC releases were outsourced and underfunded. Iron Galaxy had Arkham Knight given to them 2 months prior to release, and High Voltage handled the PC version of MKX and I think also MKIX and the Arcade Kollection (maybe?!). Either way, the reason those PC ports were good was cause the developers handled them rather than having WB take charge.

I guess I am just weird. I love melee and fighting games just about equally.

I'm with you bro, I love fighting games, but I've played way more Melee and am way better at it than fighting games, but that doesn't stop me from owning every fighting game I can get my hands on. Also, as much as I love playing melee, it and all Smash games can be a real bore to watch. At least in regular fighting games, when someone's playing a lame style it only lasts 99 seconds at most. In Smash, it feels like playing lame is incentivized more than other games and the individual matches themselves can potentially take multiple minutes.

I'm debating getting my first stick and I have a few questions:

Are there any options not listed in the OP that I should consider? I don't mind putting in custom parts as long as it's not too hard to do.

I know that Seimitsu buttons require more effort to press than Sanwa buttons, but how do their sticks compare? And are there any other parts manufacturers I should consider?

One thing to keep in mind is that Seimitsu buttons are by no means hard to press, they just aren't as sensitive as the Sanwas are. Sanwas are ungodly sensitive and take no effort to activate, which can sometimes be more of a hindrance, if you end up accidentally hitting buttons you're hand is hovering over.

"Hey guys, let's take the worst character in the game and nerf her two best pokes" --Some rear end in a top hat at Examu

Actually, it seems like a continuing trend for Japanese developers to hand out a nerf to the lowest ranked character in updates (AH3, USF4, Pokken...)

Has there been any talk of the final revision coming out over here. It's a little annoying that it seems like we'll never get the final revisions of AH3 and P4U2, especially since the further along we go the less incentive either of those companies have to put out updates.

Smash: pick a character from a half-varied and half-cloned cast, attempt to shove your opponent offscreen multiple times over 8 minutes of ill-defined round, timer only leads to sudden death mechanic that plays completely different from a normal round and then has random bombs rain to the field, features heavy rng elements that must be disabled to play competitively, isn't even intended to be played 1v1

I don't disagree that the differences you bring up don't exist (TBF the clone thing has been a problem with other traditional fighting games), I just don't think the differences are great enough to warrant calling it it's own thing, rather than just a subgenre of fighting games.
