I really should get MB netplay working.

 

[OceanBlue]

I have no advice on neutral in MB. I play it like most other games, I just have a kinda slow character I did just reinstall it yesterday though, looking to play more.

Well in Blazblue I just j.C and 5C with Jin all day so I probably don't know how to play neutral in that either. :V

Sounds like BB. BB neutral is, um, I don't want to say it's bad but it's a bit off to me. Neutral is clearly not the focus of the game.

[MarkMan]

Are you implying that we aren't always positively absolutely generously nice?

You said it. I'll agree.

 

[Huw_Dawson]

It would be neat to have Jamea Chen on here. We would have both halfs of the casting duo then.

FGC Weekly is going places it seems!

 

[Infinite]

I'm old enough that I don't want to tell you how old I am over the Internet.


You forgot to mention which moons, which is kind of important.

Vampire Sion is a good starting character, and most people play her in Half. Nanaya has a lot of pressure but relatively weak mixup (outside of F, anyway) and can be played in any moon (Half is probably the easiest to learn; Crescent's blockstrings can get stupidly involved) and would be workable for a new player. I would not advise new players to play Vermillion Akiha, because her health is awful -- dumb mistakes end up leading to huge damage from anything.

If you're following this advice (but you don't need to, a large part of the cast is very viable IMO), the best fit for you would probably be Crescent Seifuku Akiha. Her neutral isn't the greatest (but it's more than passable) and her mixup options are too real (it's like they put a BlazBlue character in the game, gah). I also think Half Sion or Half Aoko would be good picks (although managing held orbs with Aoko is a bit wonky to pick up).

Spoiler

And your comparison of Sion to Noel made me want to punch you through the Internet. :<

I neglected to mention which moon phase on purpose.

And yeah I actually meant to reccomend Seifuku not Vermillion. Got mixed up.

Sion and Noel do look similar mang. You can't tell me it never crossed your mind.

I would like to ask you good folks a question.

How many hours per week do you spend playing fighting games? This includes training mode, online, playing local versus, etc...just the total amount of time spent playing fighting games per week.

I work a shift where I work seven days on and have seven days off. I've worked this shift for five years now, and I only play games during my week off. As a lover of video games, I find it hard to dedicate much time to fighting games because with only seven days off, there's a lot of other games and just general other activities that I want to spend time on, so my competitive interest is waning. I still very much enjoy fighting games, but my time spent on them has been small lately.

So with all that said, I've been spending probably two-five hours per week-off on fighting games for the past few months. What about you folks?

I usually spend about 1 hour a day on it, maybe 1 1/2. I work nights so it's all online grinding- I just can't bring myself to spend precious time during the workweek on something that isn't fun.

If you are time-crunched, I'd suggest limiting yourself to one game you really enjoy that has a viable enough scene.

Depends on the week- 15 hours or so, I'd say. A lot of it is usually crammed into 2 4/5/6 hour play sessions.

Maybe an hour if I visit a friend, I don't own consoles anymore.

 

[chriskun]

I probably play about 16-18 hours a week. Neo's Magnus is ridiculous, I would even go as to say that his offense with mags is way better than champs.

Probably 15 hours maybe more. It was much more when I was playing SSFIV constantly. At the moment I'm only playing Killer Instinct and even then it's still over 10 hours a week on that game.

 

[Papstr]

I usually get a good 2-3 hours a day, usually more, but I only work a couple days a week, so there's lots of down time. People are often at my house every night and we just kinda play, and if nobody comes by, there's always my roommate.

All this talk about Melty Blood reminds me when I started playing Red Arcueid on Act Cadenza and loved her. I played her on all versions after that, but didn't won as much as in Act Cadenza. :'(

Watching non-EX SBK juggle into EX SBK in the corner is so good. Probably more options there too but it looks like a limited juggle state.

5-6 hours that are all I look forward to anymore

Those laser shooting orbs remind me of Dizzy's fish. Those combined with those odd music notes look pretty annoying.

Anyone know who the best USFIV Oni players are to watch? I could use some food for thought. I haven't seen anything past his changelist, which looks underwhelming aside from the f.MK buff.

Has this webcomic been posted?

http://tapastic.com/series/fgt

Would have loved to see Doom Hidden Missiles as well here:

But still good nonetheless.

first i've seen it. it's an easy read, and entertaining enough, but is the 'fighting game community' really smaller now than it was in the 90's? i don't know if i believe that.

I'd say it's larger, but that's because of the convenience factor that the internet provides today. It's more accessible but as with all things highly accessible, the general level of interest, skill gets lowered by the vast majority of people who don't contribute actively.

Where you born during or after the 90s? Okay you're young.

I turn 20 this year .-.

29.

Yup turned 21 last year and yup

24

32 here. I pretty much look exactly like Gen from SF4.

Well, as a competitive gamer, 30+ = being old.

God, I think I hate all of you.

We can start an old folks home, or we're at least older than a large majority of the people that posts in here probably.

You'll need a special wing for me.

You are as old as you feel. I can run miles around my teenage self.

Agreed on this. I'd beat the crap out of my old self.

Also 2 Old 2 Furious to be added to OP soon.

Much appreciated. I'm going to go through all the FGW initial posts soon to help with a project of mine. It's going to help tremendously.

As someone turning 31 Wednesday, I resent that.

 

[casperOne]

39

Spoiler

I guess that's OG

That's older than Valle, Killian, Wiz, but younger than the Cannons.

Perhaps it's why I go to 2O2F on the regular, to play old man games.

 

[FSLink]

I'm 22 years old. :v

For how many hours I play, like 3-15 hours per week, really depends on if I'm working much that week or not.

Not surprised we haven't seen anyone dive into Oni - he's pretty complicated relative to most characters and probably needs a good deal of lab time to feel out his changes.

On a normal week if I am not working over time I can usually get in 3 hours total gaming time, maybe an hour of that for some random online matches of whatever fighter I am feeling that week.

MetalMusicMan has some really good insights to the character. Highly recommend his guide and his A-rank grind video.

Probably 5 hours per week. Sometimes less, sometimes more, but averaging to that. Focused entirely on Gundam right now, though there's 3-4 other games I'd love to play with if I had more time. The rest of my non-competitive gaming is mostly portable (SRW right now).

 

[Karsticles]

I just want Ultra gameplay. I have a reasonably good handle on what he's capable of in SSFIVAE, even if I'm not high performing yet.

I thought a lot of folks said he was massively improved, and there was talk about people shifting to him. I was majorly excited when I saw Infiltration playing him one day, especially since I felt like Infiltration played him more how I like to play him, so I was learning a lot.

I play online only during weekends or holidays, mostly Friday. 1-2 hours on PC. Any 2D fighter, except Guilty Gear/Blazblue/Skullgirls. I am not that competent though, only know the basics and few combos for some characters. Might win 1 match out of 10 against better players. Devote an extra half hour to training mode too. Nothing special, just the basic moves and a few short combos.

If I am working, usually half an hour mostly offline on a Dreamcast without training,
