It is really weird going to a local tournament and realising that very few people actually like the game that you have all entered (SFV)

 

[Dlent]

What a shame that there's nothing else in the genre to play.

Spoiler

I wonder how many times this conversation will pop up before we all die, here in the community ghetto.

It's just the sense of belonging to a big and prestigious community (of FGs). "Even if I don't like this, I'm part of it, watch me !"

To varying degrees, sure. KI, KoF, Injustice, and even Koihime Enbu are all ground based, short hit confirms, no air-blocking kind of games. This is assuming you mean "plays like SF 4 or 5," because some of the older games were pretty different.

After the year its had, I'd be surprised.

I wouldn't say KI in there due to the combo system alone.

 

[Dlent]

You could, but everyone draws a line at a different place. A lot of crazy people don't consider the Alpha or 3 series to be "real" Street Fighter games because of their own core mechanics.

Then again, why would they enter if they don't like the game? Makes no sense lol. I mean, surely they would pick up other games that are allegedly better right? Yet here we are. Personally, I think gamers (especially the FGC crowd) can be very fickle when it comes to certain aspects of gameplay and mechanics and try to blame the game when it comes to thier own shortfalls. It's basically easier to use a FG game as a scapegoat due to so many "nerfs" and "buffs" all the time to suit a specific agenda.

Hyper DBZ is a better game than SFV.

There I said it.

Truth ain't a controversy

Oh my. That looks fucking awesome. Is that Mugen or a full DBZ game?

So, our local Smash monthly took place today. About an hour before we closed registration, smash.gg became increasingly more sluggish and glitchy, until it eventually just crashed entirely and became inaccessible, pushing back our event about 1 to 2 hours while we had to sort out the mess.

Turns out that someone was running a 26000-person Rocket League tournament today and it just brought the whole system to its knees.

Then why enter? Makes no sense. Just play what you like.

You'll all must be some youngins to have free time to waste on shit you hate...

I hope that tournament also had problems

It's funny hearing people complain at Street Fighter tournaments that they want a honest fighting game that rewards fundamentals, good neutral play and strong footsies. And then they go running off once I start showing them Koihime Enbu.

...I mean, that's exactly what they're looking for, right?

No, it's not Street Fighter. Fuck your shitty ass game where is Ryu ????

Why do you need Ryu when you can play as Lu Bu???

Maybe they would be more amicable to playing Sango Fighters Chaos Generation instead?

there's a thing as too much weeb

 

[CommandThrower]

there's a thing as too much weeb

"Too much weeb" for the average fighting game fan equates to anything that isn't Capcom, NRS, and/or Namco.

 

[Kadey]

DSP SF2 world champion? I bet GB could take DSP.

 

[Coffeeling]

what

Mikado arcade's months-long league where the best play FT10 sets in two different Round Robin pools with the winners advancing. The 2nd and 3rd placers play an FT5 elimination tournament with the winner advancing. The three advanving players then play another FT10 Round Robin pool.

tl;dr shittons of long high level GG sets that have been dope as fuck go watch.

It is really weird going to a local tournament and realising that very few people actually like the game that you have all entered (SFV)

We recently got ourselves a thriving fledgling ST scene partially for this reason I think.

Pretty sure Namco is weeb territory now.

 

[Tripon]

Capcom just introduced an ice lady whose alternative outfit is scuba wear.

How that is not weeb shit.

 

[lucebuce12]

They gave the one sadistic female character an eyepatch.

 

[Sayad]

Capcom just introduced an ice lady whose alternative outfit is scuba wear.

How that is not weeb shit.

But she has a Russian looking face, not the anime one from story mode!

 

[ZeroTheShadow]

Season 2 is way better than Season 1. I can just set play people all day & throw out random shit & it works. It's like a really bad version of a Vs. game.

A free rootkit! In the old days, that rootkit would have been a paid upgrade and you wouldn't be able to play other people unless you purchased it. Capcom has come a long way!

 

[mbpm1]

Nemo da gawd

Fixed that, because SF4 doesn't play like SF3 etc etc

 

[MikeBreezy92]

Pretty sure Namco is weeb territory now.

It's always been that way, the characters always reflected the anime trends of the era the game came out in.

the animation is janky as hell in that game, but it kinda looks fun

Votin Garou for some Freeman.

That's like if someone said Street Fighter had a playable character that was essentially Mike Tyson but when you got to the character select screen you saw:

Same.
