I'm a total fighting game noob but want to try and get into them, starting with Killer Instinct. Does anyone know if there is still a decent online community for it, other than pros?

There's communities for everything. You just have to find them online on their appropriate forums. Did you check Killer Instinct GAF ?

I don't know how big the KI scene really is. It's the least talked about game here in FGW---even compared to old school fighters. I hear more about Vampire Savior, Virtua Fighters, and even JoJo's Bizarre Adventure over KI.

It still has quite a few players online, the last time I checked it out about a month ago. Seems like it has all skill levels, may be a little rough if you're brand new but nowhere near as rough as say SF4 or Tekken Tag 2 would be if you were to pick them up now.

You know what'd be a couple cool game cross overs?

Rival Schools vs Tekken

Nintendo vs Capcom

Marvel vs DC

If we ever get a MvC4, or TvC2 I hope we get more Rival School characters in the roster. Akira, Edge, and Kyosuke would be sweet.
 
Capcom's trying to get a new Rival Schools off of the ground, right? Hopefully that works out. I loved the original PS1 game.

Shoma was my man.

Could they apply the same release structure that Killer Instinct uses?
Personally I'd settle for an HD release of Rival Schools 2+Hyo and Raizo from RS1.

What's the source behind this and how serious did it sound? From what I recall it was just some dude saying he'd be down but I may be wrong.

It sounds rad and I love the first 2 gamesbut if it did turn out to be a real thing I would be fucking mind blown. They can't even get the idea of a vampire game off the ground.

That's pretty much the gist of it, yeah.

With the recent news of Capcom interested and going forward with releasing more HD remakes, it sounded like:

Capcom said:
We are trying to milk previous series that WE know will sell enough to our liking.

Translation:

Every resident evil game. Old Capcom Fighters? Not enough of a fanbase, fuck Ono and the FGC. Sony can go give us more money if they want this to happen. Screw nepotism.

Stop writing those letters.

Too many of you mother fuckers wrote Breath of Fire letters, and now look what the shit we're getting because of it...

Yo someone made top 8 with Chun/Morrigan/Phoenix? Have to see this.

He just took the first game over Chris G holy shit is this happening

Nope, Chris G isn't having any of it now lol.

I never thought about using Chun's potential to wait out Astral Vision though, interesting.

I think H~(L+M) is the best way from when i was practising it, if i remember correctly fchamp and other players that were good at it used the same inputs.

This is the optimal way of doing it, you can get option select grab if you hold a direction. Its what makes facing mags at the 99 second mark annoying.

Cool, I'll try practicing that then. Wanted to mess around with more characters, but not knowing how to plink dash really made me feel like a sitting duck.

Its definitely a timing thing, I don't know how it is on stick (I imagine its easier) but on controllers its kinda tough to get the timing down without some practice. With sticks, since the buttons don't have different sensitivities, you can just press them in a pattern as if you were playing a piano. Now I'm starting to see the pluses into having a stick when I'm trying to breach the gatekeeper status in Marvel, thankfully there are other pad warriors out there who do it.

I am gif-less for anything that properly expresses how much I want this one singular thing more than any other vs sequel. This and Marvel vs DC is the end game of fighters for me.
