Often, some fighting games can seem intimidating to players new and old. Below are a bunch of resources that may be of aid to new players, or handy as references.

• Basics of BNB construction starring Hokuto no Ken
• Learn How To Play Fighting Games Free eBook from Shoryuken is a fantastic primer for new players to the genre.
• Footsies Handbook is a guide to the potentially elusive, but integral part of doing well in any fighting game.
• NeoGAF's Arcade Stick Thread is the place to go for questions about anything arcade stick-related.
• Step Up Your Game is an editorial series by Justin Wong that covers a multitude of topics, notably focusing on strengthening your mental game and playing smarter instead of harder.
• Tips for first time competitors will help you straighten out those nerves and expectations when you head out to your first tournament.
• Domination 101 is almost a cult classic article in the FGC, which has Seth Killian telling us how he really feels about the idea of "cheapness" in fighting games.
• Team-building Guide by our very own film lover-slash-cannibal Karsticles, which helps make it easier to approach team-building in MvC games, and games with similar synergistic elements.

This sure is a thread

I'm watching the IGN combofiend and mike "i'm cute as fuck" ross vid and I liked the stage until I saw the silly shit going on. How come every stage in SF now has to be some silly ass thing with dancing bears or people being chased by mechs now?

How come we can't have something like these stages?

When you walk in those puddles in SFV, it should affect the character mobility.

More stuff like the Karin stage in SFV, and less shit like...that Shadaloo stage. The Shadaloo stage was perfectly fine until I saw all the silly stupid shit. I'm not saying the stages can't have their easter eggs and funny hijinks, but FUCK, diversify it for the love of GOD. The London stage I hate as well. Got them fighting in Union Station with this lame ass band.

Someone needs to tell this to Ono: Street Fighter stages are ass now.

I think you're right, I would like some more serious and simple stages, dunno if SFV really has any yet, can't think of one off the top of my head

But, stages shouldn't ever actually affect the characters in Street Fighter

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

THESE are stages.

 

[Line_HTX]

God damn that big ass dog... LOL

Tempted to do a doa5 tag tech stream before bewb and soul beta, anybody want to give it a look? I shall explain how I go at a game like that where I have a vocabulary unlike sf where I can't use FSE...

Jamican volcabulary?

Menacing top tier character.

Karin's is simple though it has people in the background.

Git gud, imo.

I want that Self Sponsored hoodie tbh

Yeah, would be better without the people

 

[Line_HTX]

I hope Karin's stage is not one of those Laggy Online Stages that people kept complaining about in all throughout SF4.

Who or what is GB?

For the longest time, I read Smedwick as Swedkicks. My eyes played tricks on me.

Karin's stage also has some silly shenanigans going on in the background, but I otherwise agree with the notion of stages needing to go back to a more grounded style. Would've maybe benefited the overall quality of the level textures too if the devs didn't spend so much resources on (disproportionate) character models and animations, but it could also just be a matter of their environmental artists simply not being talented enough based off of IV, SFxT and V.

Spelling it "Get" instead of "Git" smh

Shouta, ban notworksafe please

 

[Shouta]

yes they do. its called bracket reset that is held at meltdown London near kings cross station every Thursday. most of the setups are ultra but occasionally there will be a couple of people playing marvel and smash 4.

Oh cool. I might try and make it out then if I can.

They've been playing SFV builds with WinnerStaysOn in the UK right? Is that in London as well?

 

[Line_HTX]

Mandate Top 8 be digital download version, Training Stage only with all character themes playing.

BB and UNISuperTurbo should be Training Stage and Random select themes.

If you play Continuum Shift Extend, and go to Platinum's stage, which is a city port, I forget the name, go all the way to the right and you'll see that dog and the boy jumping on top of the roof of the doghouse.

EDIT: ShadowSoldier took care of it.

All I'm seeing is either a bad match-up or (more likely) Mike's crummy Zangief.

I'm all about F.A.N.G. being "Asshole Dhalsim" though, checks all the right boxes for me.

I'm disappointed you didn't cross out get as well and then right "git" in above it

 

[Karsticles]

Also, BlazBlue has background elements that I love, while Street Fighter has background elements that I generally find to be lame. What makes them different?

Although I like the hype sheep in SFV.

Gifs should NOT be 1280 x 720, like damn...

That's the joke! Someone called Ibuki a gimmick character just the other day. I think it was Blackule, could be wrong.

 

[jerry1594]

I don't see what's so gimmicky about keepaway. Capcom just wants gief to not be able to get in and do chunks of damage when he manages to squeeze through, especially now that he has no green hand. Unless there's some anti zoning tool he has in the trailer i haven't seen since the reveal.
