Because I cant get myself to play them.

I like look and playstyle of BB and GG, but would never go to a local because that simply wasnt I think of as something enjoyable. On top of that I am a PC gamer, cba buying consoles to play some damn games.

I would be all over them if they were more popular on PC but hey, they arent. So no point in wasting my time especially since I cant be bothered to permanently being treated like a second class citizen by asian developers.

I dont. I would only be interested in the current versions of the games. Besides, I am european on top of that. Personally I dont even think that the genre has to be dead in europe. But the imcompetent developers are trying their hardest for it to never be alive. Guess its FPS, Mobas and RTS (if there were any) until I quit gaming.

Fuck asian game developers.

sakura is very bad for beginners, she requires a loott of execution and a certain understanding of her footsies to be effective at all. akuma is also probably not the best for beginners considering his low health and many mixups. ryu, ken, guile, and adon are considered the best for beginners. glhf

You'd think that no competitive genre fucks over PC, and especially not, europe that much after 20 years. But I guess asia still didnt get the memo and havent realized how big this hole esport thing is here and that the best players in any competitive titles played on this planet come from europe and south korea.

But hey, if they dont want to take part in this movement and make some money thats fine. Its not really impressive, japanese always were pretty stuck up and missed shit actually happening until it was too late.

It's weird, I can land yang's rekkas pretty much 100%, only really drop them when the match connection eats shit and loses my inputs, but I almost always drop poison's unless i just mash them out as hard as I can. I've never played fei online because I don't find him fun.
Maybe I just need to work on the timing for poison's, maybe it's weird or something.

Also vega and fuerte are the least fun to play against forever and always.

I forgot, I'm on /v/, none of you actual play fighting games. did you guys forget that sakura has up to 3 or 4 1 frame links in her BnB? or that her footsies while very effective are awkwardly slow when coupled with her walk speed? of course you didnt forget, you just never knew. and using IA with adon isnt like using it with viper, you can do it very easily without any tricky shortcuts. also i forgot to mention, Bison is very good for beginners as well.

>>255651394
>execution barriers make a character skilled
Yes, Viper is the most skilled character in the game and not a character designed for those who don't want to have to think about what the opponent is doing, totally.

Seriously 1 frame links aren't even hard in SF4, they're not even 1 frame in reality and any good player will drop them rarely. That shit is basically irrelevant after a certain point.

>>255648632
>spam his low kicks 6 times every time
I assume you mean his alley kicks? They hit 5 times automatically if it's a counter hit, even if you take your hands of the controller after the 3rd hit it will keep going. Doesn't count as spamming if it's a single string.

Anyway,
>complaining about spamming
You don't know shit about fighting games.

Because I keep committing to special attacks, thinking they're the most effective path to victory.
Because I keep committing to a jump instead of staying on the ground and working where it's safe.
Because I haven't played a fighting game for three years, because I left my local group as I couldn't improve myself further and was being mocked for it.
Because I keep picking mid tier characters as my favorites, instead of playing to the top tier to gain mechanical advantages.
Because I never pick characters with a "slow" fighting style. This creates pressure for me to be offensive, when being offensive is the last thing I should do. See the first problem.

I know what I should do to improve in fighting games. But I don't do it. Because fighting games are daunting, and learning one is a big commitment. Never mind learning three or four.

Ryu is solid all around. He has an answer for everything in it's most basic form. His inputs and ultra setups are extremely easy. If you think Ryu teaches you to become a dp masher then it says a lot about how you learn
>>
>>255652398
He also lends himself to mindless spamming of moves that new players will fall onto as a crutch, which is why so many new shotos just do either

>j.HK
>hadoken
>shoryuken every time when they are close

And that is how they learn to play

Compare that to a cody player, who would have to actually learn how to properly play to have any success at all. Characters with DPs especially should not be being played by new players.

You should have Ammy in back, first and foremost. Cold Star is a top-10 assist, and Ammy has lots of tools on her own alongside her slowdown super to help her make comebacks.

X-23 or Wesker are interchangeable in front, although Wesker needs meter less. Putting X-23 second also means you can save her for when you have more meter, then use her Level 3 + Cold Star assist for unblockable setups.

What's important is that they don't develop bad habit that will slow their progress and that they will have to later unlearn, which is exactly what playing Ryu will do
>>
>>255646734
Because I don't play fighting games for competition/pvp.

I play fighting games because I like games with in-depth hand-to-hand or swordfighting mechanics. I like games where I can beat people up with really impactful sounds/effects, and games with involved sword duels.

Unheard of, I know, but there's actually ways to have fun with games that don't involve just "trying to win".

A genre that is even more boring than F1 racing. I would rather play anything else than spend time on a fighting game.
>>
>>255653583
I would argue the opposite.

When you "get good", the depth goes beyond two people fighting and starts to become a game of who can lower the other's health more quickly and efficiently. It becomes less about punching someone really hard and more about trying to nail that 30-hit "combo", judging distance with a mental ruler, and counting frames of hitboxes. Learning parries and dodges is as far as I like to go, before it becomes too meta.

You should not be so focused on paper theory, but develop an instinctive understanding for how things work.

If you need to mentally go through your notebook when you're playing, you're doing it wrong.

It should be 'I attack with my light punch and chase you with hadoken,' not 'so FCR into the QQD with the slashback for the wavedash, but Fawx has the matchup advantage through his hyper weapon, and Daigo does it like this so I need to figure out the reka piano hands.'

Every character is viable against every character in Tekken. You need knowledge of the characters, yes, but the character you're using doesn't affect it enough to change how the match will play out.

The reason why PC isn't a popular platform in Japan is a long story. Basically, it has to do with the fact that mobile networks were developed before broadband over there, so everyone in Japan was browsing the internet through phones during the early 2000's while people in Korea or Europe were playing competitive games on the PC. In general, the PC is seen as a machine for work over there, and I don't see that attitude changing any time soon.

You could argue that a new cody might develop a bad habit of using zonk knuckle in a similar fashion that a new ryu might yolo dp everywhere, the only difference being the cody would have to learn how to keep a button held down. I think you can fall into bad habits with just about any character.

In the end though, I feel like a new player should just learn who they really want to learn barring a few exceptions. I think a person tends to stay more motivated to keep with something if they're playing a character they really like. I mean if someone wanted to learn fuerte as a beginner, are they learning to play "street fighter"? No, not really because fuerte just kind of does whatever the fuck he wants and shits on traditional footsies, but you have to realize the person wanting to learn him might not give a shit about any of that.

I think it's more like if you want to learn "street fighter", a new player should pick a character like ryu; if they want to learn someone like fuerte, let them play fuerte and just make them aware that he's not really a street fighter character and you will have a much harder time learning traditional zoning, anti-airing, and footsies with him.

ibuki is balanced

she gets shit damage output and takes a shit ton of damage in favor of some fast meter building, lots of target combos, and if you get knocked down, then you have to defend against the vortex

Yeah that's one of the things you'll run into if you play a character like Ibuki. People will argue you're not "playing street fighter" anymore once you get a knockdown and that you're going into just set play wake up stuff.
I think Ibuki players have to really like their character and she's one of the characters with the most character specialists because you have to put up with a lot of people talking about your "braindead autopilot mixup" or whatever they say. I can't say I like fighting her or that she's really playing the same game as most other characters, but I acknowledge the shit they probably have to endure.

if you play ibuki your fundamentals are probably shit and you'd be a lot better by learning proper neutral and footsies

guile is a good pick, so is someone like chun that needs to play honest/solid and can't rely on random damage

anyone that needs to use normal antiairs and is low gimmicks is a good pick, esp. people with easily stuffed reversals e.g. balrog, vega, rose, fei (sort of don't get too attached to his specials other than rekka), bison (don't just spam scissors/reverse/stomp use his normals), trying to play zoning heavy with ryu, etc.

Cody actually has a ton of gimmicks that can make you fall into bad habits really easily. Add on that how advantageous a lot of his normal moves are and you learn some really awful things.
I first tried to learn the game with Cody and dear god it was bad on retrospect.

I think Fei might be one of the best characters to teach the game with, honest as fuck all round and pretty simple execution. Guile's up there too as well as Chun if they don't fall into the trap of spamming legs.

No, when you get good the game becomes much more mentally dependant. It becomes about trying to read your opponent and throw them off.

One might even say it becomes about fighting your opponent, not their character.

zoning is just an extension of footsies, it just plays out in a more complex way over a larger period of time

the goal of zoning isn't REALLY to hit people with projectiles that's just bonus damage

the goal of zoning is to get your opponent to commit to a bad option so you can get a high damage punish, just like footsies, projectiles are ranged high startup pokes that force your opponent to react

the goal is to condition them to react in an unfavorable way and punish them for being impatient, which is almost always by getting them to commit to a forward jump and then antiairing them

the principle is identical to trying to set up a whiff punish, it just takes more effort, time and attention

If you want to improve your zoning with both projectiles and normals I highly recommend trying some Sagat, his normals are great for keeping people out and I don't need to mention his fireballs.

For pressure try Cammy or Yun, someone rushdown based that'll force you to keep up pressure to play effectively. Dudley is also good in this regard and if you're good you won't fall into the traps most bad Dudleys do.

and don't forget anon, training mode is invaluable.

Man, tell me how great it is in the future because Ultimax isn't out yet.

Also why the fuck do you have 2 mains (which is fucking impossible) in a shit game?
>>
>>255661696
I think the reason I picked ibuki initially to learn was because she has responses to zoning and

her ultra 2 used to pay off big time, but better players never get baited into it.

anyway what you describe is not so much my play style, but it happens while unleashing sonic booms as guile naturally.
I have had good zoners force me into taking damage one way or the other with out ibuki.

>>255661870
I like ibuki for her offensive ability, i just fail to take advantage of it too often.

I still need to try sagat. I never considered him
am not a fan of cammy really.

I want to play dudley just to learn the match up, but he doesn't scare me as ibuki
most dudleys will end up rushing into a poke or whiff punish and ibuki is so safe I can keep him away.

>>255662561
I will, but I need to learn more char seriously so people will have more fun playing me at least.

and maybe have a back up

>>
>>255662983
footsies is an integral part of zoning, and good zoners won't be constantly throwing projectiles when you have options that blow through them

e.g. if someone is using something like an ibuki slide to get through a projectile, that should be a high risk option that you can punish just as much as a jump -- it's all about spacing and timing

the only way to actually get around a good zoner who pays attention is to beat them at their own game, by commiting to use safer options more often like walking and blocking and neutral jumps, and contesting their ground game heavily so that they are less likely to antiair you if you eventually decide to jump

zoning is just longer ranged footsies

I don't think zoning has ever worked effectively against my ibuki

it works in the corner against most other char I play, but I can space jumping or slides so that fire balls never even come out safely
if in the corner, ibuki has raida and command dash for me to try to get out.
and ultra 2 goes through fireballs at the same distance to zone effectively in the corner I think.

I just suck at using zoning effectively myself.
I sometimes use kunai to land in front of an opponent incase they walk into it
>>
>>255664451
it's because the players you're fighting aren't actually zoning, they're just throwing projectiles and hoping they hit you or chip you

zoning is the hardest thing to do in the game, so it isn't surprising that you haven't fought anyone who does it well
>>
>>255664779
possibly
still ibuki has a lot of answers for projectiles
I forgot ex neckbreaker which is pretty solid.

and kunai can help correct a mistake of jumping too soon or a slow moving projectile

did ibuki got nerfed in ultra?

>>255665403
I'm not a pro with her, but no
you now have to make an adjustment for people with a delayed wakeup though

she is basically the same with a few new tricks
You can launch with her crouching hard kick target combo and knock people out of the air after
and her cr jab is more safe
these seem to be the biggest advantages to scrubs like me.

I don't want a mental battle of wits with my opponent. Literally every competitive game offers that. If I wanted a test of reaction speed and foresight and trying to remain one step ahead of my opponent at all times, I would play Quake III or some other twitchy arena shooter.

I don't care about challenge or competition or mindgames. I just want to punch some character's face in, and I want it to look like it hurts.

EX neckbreaker is going to eat a full punish from a smart zoner.

It's something Ibuki players love to do and it's pretty easy to exploit.
>>
>>255665834
I recommend counseling
>>
>>255665834
Well then you're playing the wrong game for that mate, most good fighting games are pretty shit in that regard.

>>255665871
I only do it at decent distance when I am guessing a fireball is about to come out

I rarely use it
her overhead goes over fireballs too
>>
>>255666146
but if you think he's going to throw a fireball and ex neckbreaker and he doesn't -- he just got a full punish and you're outside again and guessing

that's zoning
>>
>>255666029
Fucking tell me about it. What I'm really looking for is more like... a fight simulator I guess. But aside from the hilarious Toribash, there aren't many of those.

So I stick to traditional fighting games that have a really impactful feel to them. Mortal Kombat, Tekken, and Virtua Fighter admittedly aren't great for this, but they're the best I know of.

And Soul Calibur, while progressively getting more anime-like and combo-centric and steering toward the Street Fighter audience, is really the most diverse/intricate/entertaining swordfighting simulator I've played.
>>
>>255666146
Trying to read fireballs is a bad idea man, if you whiff a neckbreaker in anticipation and someone just blocks instead then you're gonna eat shit.

Use neckbreakers on reaction.
>>
>>255666679
it might be reaction or baiting it

idk, but I rarely use it since ibuki gets around fireballs so many other ways

>>255666652
I was assuming ex breaker was safe on block, but idk

still, it works if can catch them during recovery time
>>
>>255652635

>>
>>255653654
nope, don´t put your lack of dedication up to your age, several players have proved that age isn´t a factor here, reflexes can be maintained.i´ll play till i don´t want anymore, not when i feel my age limits me, daigo is 34 or something like that.
>>
>>255667142
I activate EX breaker just out of range of U2

I swear zoning probably doesn't work on ibuki
can also focus dash through fireballs and super jump cancel over them

Me.

And by "soul cal" I mean "I like to play with the character creator, have filled every slot with custom characters, and I either fight the CPU in vs mode as my characters or just watch two CPUs fight each other as them, and sometimes I think up little backstories for them that all sort of connect."

So I don't really play Soul Calibur V so much as a fighting game of my own design that runs on the Soul Calibur V engine.

Even /fgg/ where the more educated players are flips their shit when you ask anything about fuerte.
>>
>>255667743
I like him but it bugs me because my friend plays peacock and uses a bnb that on block ends in a +2 on block napalm shot.

Shit's a true string so my only option is push block (which just returns us back to the neutral where he's got the advantage) or parry which I'm gonna have to read instead from the start of the combo. Lame as balls.

If you know the matchup and everyone does nowadays the mindgames are just the same.

Wow, how much of a casual do you have to be to not be decent at ONE fighting game? It's one of the few genres where you actually have to commit to a character, practice and plan and a game that actually rewards you for preparation and strategy.

They don't, it's more his character in general that causes this shit. if he hits he gets 300+ free damage and a possible ultra, if he gets blocked he gets free pressure. It's also due to the fact that he is the more "offense oriented" brother so his divekick has to be overall better so he can consistently apply pressure while his defensive options are wholly limited

So basically it rewards you for going yolo420divekickintoGeneiJincombo

Do you understand that "gitting gud" requires around a year of playing if not more. yes, you will get decent spacing and general punish knowledge by that time and learning new characters won't require as much time.
But will have to workl on your playing style and match ups from the ground up and it's not an easy process. And more than a year with chars you don't like, quite the stretch.
>>
>>255679163
Do you need to watch the capcom change log video again where they say Yang players complained about not being able to get in so they gave him a safe lunge punch and dive kick that's easier to combo off of.

How do you give him that and expect him not be over powered. Not to mention his Red Focus attack does so much damage and is so fucking good it gets rid of his one major weakness which is needing to use Super.

Fuck his one Target combo builds like half a bar on block and I believe it's safe.

I want one, but too tight on cash
there is also the neo geo pad, but I might prefer a dpad for fighting.

This is what I'm using and only because it was cheap and works well enough for me.

I have one too, but only used it for emulation and arcade games.

its cheap build quality overall so I'm looking into more soundly built fight pads.

I wouldn't recommend that one for fighting games anyway because the kind of heavy execution some characters call for don't translate well to that nub

my ability to string combos is weak
>>
>>255683748
Better than what I had before. A standard 360 pad.
>>
When it's clutch time my eyes get hot and I try not to tear up but I still drop the ball and lose like a bitch
>>
>>255683975
I'd say only because of 6 face buttons

it helps a shit load in SF

the dpad just feels slow or imprecise or maybe I just don't want to break it

my wire need to be fixed anyway so I stopped using it
>>
>tfw no one to play hokuto no ken with

I just want to become a dribble master.
>>
>>255684327
At this point I pretty much only play SF, but yeah I realize it's not the greatest thing but I got it for like 10 dollars so can't complain.
>>
>>255646734
But, I'm not. I'll kick your ass at Marvel or Skullgrills.
>>
>>255684537
yeah mine was like $15

just think ahead because it is likely to break one way or the other

you'll probably have to look at used fightpads like I'm doing now
all the good ones are discontinued

I know that feel, bro.

>>255684782
Shut up Grey.
>>
>>255684782
Why does she think that?
>>
>>255685374
Just imagine what the neighbors would think if they knew a grown woman still played video games.
Something like that.
>>
I can't into fighting games because it's like the only genre where I can never figure out what the "pros" are talking about. It looks quite simple when you're watching a match but I guess it's much harder when actually playing the game. It's 2fast4me. Congrats to the people who are very good at fightans.
>>
>>255684782
Convince her to go and get a new daddy.

Tell her to attend in a jaguar mask and body the shit out of the competition.
>>
>>255685374
not that anon or his mom, but I feel that way

none of my friends or family or anyone I grew up with played fighting games.
It feels shameful in the same way playing video games appears to most people.

I use a hitbox
>>
>>255684782
Just tell her to wear a mask or something
>>
>>255686439
Yes. If you get fucked on the execution in any of those, just sell everything
>>
>>255686597
How does it feel? Is it better compared to a stick?
>>
>>255686676
Anon, VF5 needs ridiculous wizard levels of execution to play well, and you know it.
>>
>>255686798
I play VF5 and have two left hands
>>
>>255686597
Considering I feel more comfortable with a KB than a stick, how is the Hotbox? A good replacement? Execution on a stick feels too loose for me.
>>
>>255646734
I don't want to expend the effort muscle memorizing long combo strings for a game I don't truly enjoy to begin with.
>>
>>255686714
it's easier to use and less effort to move with directions than with a stick because you can press buttons lightly instead of needing force to move a stick

you'll still have to practice with it to do high execution combos, complex stuff will just be less taxing on your hands, not particularly easier
>>
>>255686714
hitbox is just something to make you more conscious of your directional inputs

with arcade stick, its easy to be sloppy

>>255686798
I never played VF with anyone other than casual friends

maybe VF6 will get a scene going so I can play seriously
>>
>>255673650
No because DOA5U is better
>>
>>255651593
But he has 2/3 of those.
>>
>>255687247
>Parry: The Game
Yeah, no.
>>
>>255646734
Because anyone near where I live fucking sucks and I've got 3rd world internet so I can't practice for shit.
>>
>>255686676
So they're all equally easy?
>>
>>255687513
yes
>>
>>255687440
That's not turd strike
>>
>>255688230
Course not, 3rd strike parries are fun
>>
I've only played SF alpha 3

what am I missing
>>
>>255688341
About as fun as a deadly illness.
>>
>>255646734
Because I haven't played them since I was an edgy teenager, which was 15 years ago. Also, Arcades died, and I haven't had a fighting stick.
>>
Because I don't play them enough to git gud. I like them though and don't mind getting trounced from time to time.
>>
>>255688576
you killed the thread with your superiority

Why do so many black dudes like fighting games?
>>
>>255690164
because minorities don't give a fuck about becoming an accountant

basically white families put so much more pressure on their kids that they avoid fighting games
>>
>>255690164
They're the most value for money for a lot of black families so they grow up renting them because they can entertain the whole family.
>>
>>255646734
How can anyone be bad at the most casual genre?

>Tekken is rarely mentioned
>King is always posted
ANyways I really could play as any character to have _fun But I mostl Play as Kazuya, Xiaoyu, or Raven.
Also I'm not some fighting game expert but whats the deal with King? People always play with him and I keep hearing something about grapples
>>
>>255693290
he helps orphans and shit
>>
>>255673650
That game is worth it's money, I remember taking my friend to the arcade. It was his first time playing Tekken yet we played all day
>>
because i cant remember those complex combos that you HAVE to learn to win. fuck a 300 button sequence to shoot a fireball

or you could just button mash like i do
>>
>>255693979
those aren't combos

its called inputs

quarter circle forward seems complicated, but you get used to it really fast

eventually you realize there is even another and another level of difficulty to fighting games
>>
>>255693979
play grapplers
>>
>>255684782
Shit dude if your mom is that good take her with you seriously. I'd watch EVO if a grown mother could beat the shit out of a dude in fighting games
>>
>>255693912
No I know that but he's so popular in Tekken because he's a grappler or something? I don't even know what that is, is it something with grabs?
>>
>>255694821
chains grabs that most people gushing of king can't do
>>
>>255694681
get her on commentary with Aris
>>
>>255647081
you think you're good because you can beat your friends? what a fag. who the fuck even plays western fighting games; there's no competition.
>>
>>255646734
>don't know which one to stick with and get gud at
>no dosh for SSFIV or ultra when it comes out
>none of my IRL friends are into them that much outside of one who's into mvc3

he can do a like 70 button combo that kills you
