Yeah, news media absolutely loves the chance to deploy that angle. Clicks, clicks everywhere.

Would you guys play an original fighting game if it only had three, complex characters?

Define complex

Calling the Starcraft comparison now.

 

[Beckx]

Bushido Blade only has 6.

It's all about the mechanics, right? 3 seems really light, so it puts a lot of pressure on depth and how much variety those characters have (which BB achieved via weapon selection).

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";63718786]Would you guys play an original fighting game if it only had three, complex characters?[/QUOTE]

If the game was good, sure.

 

[Lost Fragment]

Well people played Marvel 2 for a long time.

 

[The Light]

I'd check it out. If the characters have multiple play styles I don't see how only 3 characters wouldn't work.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Define complex

Like a Skullgirls or Jojo's character, not only a cool playstyle but had their own unique mechanics and systems that made them play radically unlike the other characters. Like if you had a Dio Brando, a Dormammu and a Naoto.

BB tried it with more characters ... they did hinder themselves more than anything but still.

Ok that works. If figure the characters are deep enough so different players can put their own spin on them.

 

[irfaanator]

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";63718786]Would you guys play an original fighting game if it only had three, complex characters?[/QUOTE]

if it had maybe a couple more then sure. Also if the graphics/gameplay were to my liking as well.

I think the hard thing about this is just the fundamental issue with smaller rosters--it's only going to work if you can get the majority to seriously want to play at least one of the three.

Anyway, yeah, I'd totally give a game like this a shot.

no

Only if it were a team-based game.

GODSGARDEN will be streaming the first day of GODSGARDEN GATE in just a few minutes. It's both an online and offline tournament, TTT2 and SSFIV AE. Today is the first qualifier for the online portion of the event, the Outer Gate. Though TTT2 didn't hit the cap of 32 players, there's lots of talent in both games, so definitely check it out. Will be starting with TTT2, followed by SSFIV.

Thanks USD!

Don't like the sound of an online tourney but I'm rooting for Ryou. I imagine that Nobi should have no trouble with this since he does have like the highest rank online with a secondary team.

no, not at all.

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";63719951]Like a Skullgirls or Jojo's character[/QUOTE]

but both of those games launched with many (JoJo's) or a few (Skullgirls) more than three characters, so why can't your theoretical one?

 

[Passive Assassin]

Catching up with the last two Frays. They've been on a roll.

Guess it beats NRS netcode.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Because it's theoretically only being made by one person. And it's free.

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";63740566]Because it's theoretically only being made by one person. And it's free.[/QUOTE]

I'll try out any 2D fighting game if it's free. You should have mentioned that first.

Thinking about trying to make a game, GB?

 

[vocab]

What if those three characters just dont click with someone period? I just dont think three will work.

 

[Edgeward]

I would pay for a new bushido blade if it only had 1 character

 

[SloaneRisette]

Guys Street Fighter 1 had only two characters and that was clearly the most complex game ever.

I mean, how many people do you know can pull off a Shoryuken 100% of the time in that game?

I can almost do that, on Vita. The Vita d-pad makes stuff "easy" to pull off in that game and trivializes the arcade mode. By easy, I mean like 1 in 3 times you get the move you're trying to do, as opposed to almost never on any other pad or stick. Vita d-pad is just godlike.

No, it wasn't NerdJosh that was pulling SRK off 100% of the time. It was Josh thefunkdoc, guy have killer execution.

That's cheating dawg

 

[call_kotaku]

I liked what I saw in streams and Arturo/others who have played it liked it so a lot of positive reactions vs the skullgirls guy. Ill pick the former.

Arturo and Max are positive about every new game (not saying they're shills, they're just positive about new fighting games) and MikeZ actually worked on the game, so I don't know why you'd value half-day impressions more than insider info.

I actually hope it's ass and broken as fuck because that's what KI is about. I just hope people don't pressure TOs into buying a ton of Xbones just to play this one game.

 

[kick51]

That's cheating dawg

Playing to win dawg

How else am I gonna get my canon ending shoryuken?

The game is fucking impossible. why do they "walk" with bunny hops?!

 

[SolarPowered]

The KI guys are holding SF4/GGPO netcode as the gold standard? Uh...

Few people are informed enough to know what GGPO even is so they gotta namedrop something that people actually think is any good... even if it's not.

anyone on psn wanna play some sf or marvel?

So with Microsoft taking the line that foreign deployed troops should keep playing on 360 if they can't connect every 24 hours, there is no way they are granting some sort of tournament waiver.

(What a cluster. They've made national headlines. Rachel Maddow tweeting negatively about a videogame console?)

MS's PR of buy the 360 to counter the DRM bull shit has to be among the worst PR moves in recent memory. Coupled with the news that XBL ban.will lock you out of game this is a disaster about to happen. The backlash from the average consumer is going to be absurd.

I question the integrity of a paid consultant for a game who immediately slams it online. I'll put more trust in what the other guys say.

cool hit me up or post in here. im just charging my headset for the time being.
