Fighting Games Weekly | February 11-17 | C&D is Magic Edition

I rather go on GameFAQs than SRK now. Site is straight up ass now.

I get what I need now from Facebook/Twitter/GAF/EventHubs so there's no need to go to SRK for anything.
 
Guys, guys. How does one start playing Tekken seriously? It's kind of funny that it's one of my absolute favorite gaming series, but I've never been part of a competitive community for it or anything like that, so I've always been limited to casual play against friends. Is there any "noob guide" that is usually recommended or something?

You can start with AAK's guide. Don't forget that the game has online practice mode. If you are on PSN, then I'd be happy to teach what I can.


I actually had this for awhile and then I went back to normal neogaf. Anything that's linked isn't really very visible with that theme.
 
The beige GAF is actually best GAF, it just hasn't been updated in forever, and thus a lot of stuff sticks out like an eyesore like the new community tabs, etc.
 
I knew i was spamming dragon punches, but hell if I was going to lose a dollar and wait ten minutes to play again.

Just logged into Tekken Zaibatsu for old time sake (It says first log on in 673 days LOL). And wow that forum hasn't changed one bit, same old shit.

Just a lot of new themes, but that's about it. Why couldn't SRK do the same? This is getting more depressing thinking about it.

It's ok. We still have GAF.

Haha yea. I like GAF a lot except for how quick you can get ban on here. If this was 2005-2009 I think I would have been ban 20+ times by now for racism, sexism, flaming, using certain derogatory terms.

Thankfully no one really pays any attention to FGC-GAF, NFL-GAF, and NBA-GAF. Only place I really stay in.

People getting banned quick is exactly the reason I stay on GAF and don't need any other forum.

Though yeah, you do have to be PC as possible here, I know that's why a lot of SF-GAF ain't here anymore. Except you can say cunt, for some odd reason.
 
Word on the street is that Tekken actually has a great netcode. Try online... (only time in my life I'm advocating online for fighters). X-copy for a bit (just to understand the game) then build your own style.

Netcode tiers this gen:

good netcodes

Skullgirls
Modern Namco (SCV/TTT2)
BB/Ah3
VF - lots of VFDCers slag on the netcode, but if I can get a playable 1000 matches with someone from Israel, it can't be that bad.

bad netcodes

Capcom games (not that bad)
modern KOF
old Arcsys games (GG/Battle Fantasia)
old namco games

If forced to choose a game to learn other than VF, I'd pick Tekken.
 
I only stay on FGC-GAF and I've been banned twice. lol

Although, one of my "faithful Sarus trolls" tipped me on Twitter that someone guy on here snitched on me for the second ban and tried to snitch on me again.

If it wasn't for VF, I'd probably be playing Tekken instead.

Amen on the Skullgirls net code. I literally almost cried after playing my first 5 matches of online Skullgirls, and scream to the heavens

WHY NOT MARVEL!

I have had 3 people PM me saying "edit your post."

ANTI-SNITCHES!
 
I wonder... will online play ever be viable for fighting games? Can there ever be zero lag?

AE seems to play fine online in places with super omega god tier internet like Korea and Japan...

Canada is still in the fucking stone age when it comes to Internet speeds

Thankfully, I've gotten those plenty of times, because I forget NeoGAF is PG-13.

You were banned twice?

Yup!
One of being a "heartless bastard" during the Sexual Arisment bullshit for not just shitting on Aris and instantly believing Miranda's BS like you fools were (yes, I was being reasonable) and the second one, I was snitched on for saying, "Renic acts like a F-word sometimes. Haha!" Yes. In a playful matter.

The guy was on Twitter saying: "I'm so glad I got KingofSaurus banned" or some lame shit and one of my TrollofSarus Twitter guys linked me to the post AND Tweet.

It's time to snitch back amirite

I ain't a snitch, but to be honest? I forgot the kid's username.

Nobody important, obviously.

I got little to no experience with Battle Fantasia. I'm just going off what I heard for MK.
 
I think SSF4 should be the line between good and bad netcode. And it has a big enough community(at least here from AMERICA/Texas) that you could get in plenty of decent matches on 360

SRK appears to be trying to solve social problems with software solutions. aka OOOOH SHINY I BET IT RUNS ON RAILS AND NODE.JS
 
default neogaf is the best. you guys have terrible tastes. the other version is good for testing out transparent avatars though.
 
Nah. I got a laugh from his and everyone else's bans in that thread, but I legit forgot he got banned a secodn time. The only time I snitched on GAF was to get a couple of Juniors banned for some extremely stupid breaking of the TOS.

Wait what? You really snitched? Ugh...i mean i get it if it was you know something like murder, but for that?
