I probably have 500 hours between various versions of MH, shit was crazy. MH4U gonna be a ridiculous time sink.
The most important thing for playing fighting games is finding a good group of people to play with. I played four digit hours of Melee in high school cause my brother would always play with me, and in college we'd also just chill after classes and squeeze into a dorm room to play it. (and Kirby Air Ride. When's there going to be City Trial tourneys at a major)
It's not made by Capcom, this is a legit thing even though people say it isn't
I want this to not be true, but its very, very true.
My day/week 1 Ammy low/Akuma high assist was satisfyingly fraudulent in Vanilla (as people didn't know how to pushblock yet.)
SF and Marvel were outsourced, ASW is probably more Capcom than Capcom nowadays.It's not made by Capcom, this is a legit thing even though people say it isn't

I know I've at least put in 1000-1500 hours into dota/dota2. Probably near 1000 in ffxiv and did put in 800 in gw2. Not sure how many in fighting games, but probably around 7-800.
Aren't some key personnel former SF2/Darkstalkers developers?
Not entirely. In both cases some pretty important people like the combat designer/producer/directors were Capcom employees.

1) I actually know why beef dislikes ArcSys games, lol.
2) Who is important?
3) Why should I care what they think?
4) When did people just stop playing games they enjoyed unless it's endorsed by ________? SFxT v2012 should have taught people something.
5) Rhapsody, I have the endless beta (somehow), I can stream it and show you whatever changes you want to see.
I didn't see like quoting.

This GRsmash account on YouTube has bee putting up some really entertaining Smash content lately. I'm glad I caught this Top 20 Falcon Punches video. :lol
Ruthless.
Sounds about right for someone that plays Bridget
Ruthless.
That's pretty cool, highly impractical unless the other playing is winning and wants to rub it in the other player's face.
I remember Capcom being an outsource for Nintendo to make both of Zelda games for the gameboy color. Capcom was the company of companies for high quality games, are there any old schoolers still working for Capcom ever since Inafune and a few others left with him?

Were the design leads still direct Capcom people though?

so an XF3 combo then =P
You called? Sup! Mind lending me your console for a bit? I want to make some videos BibleThump
As a family man with almost no time to play I have to abide by this. I don't want to give it to Capcom because they don't deserve it, but their updates are far less traumatic. Subtle stuff like potemkin's 2S now pushing the opponent away means new combos and old ones I knew for 4-5 years won't work. Which means my muscle memory is going to get effed up and most likely I'll resort to very basic play(so I won't get perfected by Zato) until I learn the new combos(if that happens before a new update, that is). And that is mostly my problem, not the game's.
This, I mostly browse facebook now and I get the direct links to videos with no ad crap.
It could be better. Heck, it was already better.
I can't really count them as hours because for me it was a matter of years but as far as most played FG, SF2(and its many versions) wants to take the cake but for me it's definitively MvC2. Nothing will ever beat going to a party, get mildly drunk and party hard till early morning, drop the gf at her place, going with some friends to have something to eat and then taking a nap at the arcade's door until it opened its doors just to play some crack.
EH doing it's best to make r/Kappa a better news source than it
The XF3 combos are soooo cool to look at though! Wesker can do l, m, h, l, m, h all together on XF3 and Wolverine has his h to l or m besersker slash combo.

It's not
Wasn't there a fighting game being based off of MLP but then Hasbro (I honestly forgot the name of the company and Hasbro came to mind first...) filed a C&D on the team? They got the artist for MLP to help them out afterwards with original content. Never watched MLP before but it was really interesting how strong of a following it has with the older male demographic.
Yep, it was Hasbro, and that did happen.
It's a good show earlier on. Stay away from the bronies tho
They're like Nintendo fans
Hey guys i'm not usually around these threads because i'm not technical but i figured i could start having some fighting games buddies.
I recently bought USF4 on pc and anyone here can add me on Steam if you want, nick is LeleSocho.
I'm essentially a points dispenser, i can guarantee i'll lose almost everytime but i'm not a ragequitter and can play for hours not even winning once so if you want to farm some points or want to play for fun using characters you never use in omega mode here i am.
To let you understand how bad i am i'll say that today in 3 hours of play i only won 5 matches.
Everyone welcome even if you have the worst connection on the planet, i don't quit even when there's stupid lagging.

I'm da bess:
Right now? Oh man i just finished playing....
Ok but only because it's you, give me time to boot up the pc
i'm decent on the connection, it shouldn't be that bad.
A fellow EU player! Sent invite. So how much do you know about fighting games? Maybe we can get you up to speed.

I just love how the whole competitive community has risen with the likes of EVO and things like Capcom Cup. Ultimately I want to be able to walk into a bar like Buffalo Wild Wings and see some competitive play on tv and not just real world sports. I might have to partake in the invite that was inside my copy of USF4. It sounds too awesome talking about seeding and everything. That's right up my alley.
4th bess.

Alright kids, I need some recommendations.
First off, I love, love, LOVE 2D fighting games, the more hand-drawn, the better. To me, they're srota like pizza or ice cream; even when they're bad, they're still pretty good.
Having said that, I feel I've already devoured any and all domestic 2D fighting games (BazBlue, KOF, SFIV, Persona Arena, Aquapazza, Arcana Heart, etc.), so now I got my sights set on importing some 2D goodness from Japan.
Here are 5 I've narrowed it down to, and it would be cool if I could get your thoughts. Also, if they're import friendly - I know they're all-region, and will play on my PS3, but will I understand the menus, controls and what the hell I'm doing?
- Shin Koihime Musou
I understand this one's based on some fan-service type anime. I don't care about that, but the art/graphics look very good to me - no idea how the gameplay is though.
- Under Night In-Birth Exe: Late
Now I know it's coming to the US in a few months - I guess I could wait that long, but I should be able to get the import for the same price now.
- Phantom Breaker: Extra
This was supposed to come State-side, but it never materialized.
- Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax
Don't know shit about this game, just that it's from Sega and has some Sega references in it.
- Nurarihyon no Mago: Hyakki Ryouran Taisen
The wild card! I know this isn't a traditional fighter, and that it's sorta like Smash Bros, but it looks so pretty!
Thoughts?

Sitting on 25 straight wins in my current lobby

UNIEL is by far the best out of the bunch, but you're better off just waiting for the US release.
The only other game I have on that list is DBFC. It's an ok fighter, but most of the enjoyment comes from which characters you recognize. It's not a bad fighter, but it's on the plain side. Not a lot of creative freedom regarding combos, but you get to mess with assists in your gameplan quite a lot.
Phantom Breaker always looked pretty bad to me, but I never looked up on that latest version. I've never seen footage of Nurarihyon no Mago's fighter, only screenshots. Koihime's pretty decent I hear. The graphics look weird in motion, but I think it has a decent following in Japan?

We talked about this before!There you go. You're starting to get it
No you are right. I am still debating if its worth my time to continue with it. I just haven't found anything better to do at the moment.
