Dissidia and Gundam extreme VS arent fighting games anymore?

3D fighters have been a thing for years.

Let me guess, you thought it would be Tekken with Pokemon when they said from the start it wouldn't be?

>>280582962
S-SAUCE?

>>280583469

Platform brawler game.

>>280582962

We don't know this yet. It looks like a casual based game. They even made the controller a game pad to lore in casuals since arcade sticks are "intimidating".

>>280582756

Pokken is a fighting game. Just not a competitive one. It's going to be akin to Naruto and DBZ games.

>>280584620
Not OP, but when I heard about this I at least expected something remotely resembling Tekken, even if it would be dumbed down. I hoped for a casual 2D fighter, but instead got some kind of free movement 3D action game based fighter.

>>280584813

Harada wants it to be at least.

Look at this shit. The controls, the camera angle, everything is all wrong.

This is a beat em up party brawler.

>>280582962
Is there more?

No matter what you say, it's still a fighting game, SLBC-guy

>>280585238

Of course it does. Everyone knows Smash's game design was not that of a competitive fighting game. Which is why the Smash community HAS to ignore some of it's game design (items, some stages) to try to make it competitive. People have no reason to treat it as such though.

>>280585329

They literally said the arcade stick is "intimidating". I have no reason to believe he actually cares about it being competitive. Pokemon is not his IP. Tekken is. He cares more about Tekken than Pokken.

>>280585470
Keep in mind that it's an arcade game, meant for two players. A console port would probably be different.

>>280582756
Any game that involves 1 on 1 pvp melee combat is a fighting game.

The Street Fighter series is a 2D combo fighter.

Smash is a 2D platfoming fighter

Soul Calibur is a 3D ringout fighter

He says he's been spending "less and less" time on Tekken recently, because the team working on the series has enough experience to handle it on its own. But he says the team is aiming to make the game more accessible to newcomers compared to previous Tekken titles, and they are tying up a lot of character story threads to bring some closure for the series' 20th anniversary.

>Next is Pokken Tournament, an arcade fighting game using characters from the Pokemon universe. He says the idea came about when Bandai Namco went to meet with Pokemon Company president Tsunekazu Ishihara about licensing music for the Taiko Drum Master music game franchise, and Ishihara surprised them with an idea for a game similar to Tekken. Because Pokken is the first game in a potential new franchise, and because the team has less experience than the Tekken team, Harada says he's spending a lot of time on it at the moment.

Its not okay when Nintendo does it. They just don't do it nearly as often.

Its like how we sided with the jews against Hitler even though they were jews.

So what do you think is gonna happen with the eventual home port?

Will it be a wii-u exclusive or will it go multiplat?

Yeah, just from what I can see in the trailer I can see why some people would be disappointed. I think what people expected was basically a Tekken game with Pokemon skins on the characters. Instead, what you get is a Pokemon fighting game that just incorporates some elements of Tekken. I was never interested in the game in the first place so I'm not really blinded by an expectation. I don't think Nintendo should have used a name resembling Tekken when marketing this game, because it would just give players the wrong idea like it's done now.

Literally all that link says. Obviously Harada is going to help the least experienced team who doesn't know WTF they are doing. That literally proves nothing.

Good. I don't understand the appeal of the classic 2D fighter. Not saying Pokken will be a good game, but there's just inherently more you can do in a 3D space. I don't understand why more effort isn't put into the genre to make a decent, competitive 3D fighting game.

Who will the final boss be?

Why is the FGC so ragingly-autistic about how strictly a game has to cookiecuttershoehorn it's way into the genre's obsolete tropes to be considered a fighting game?

Either "fighting game" covers a wide spectrum of game styles like Smash, Tenkaichi and Pokken Tournament, or it's a shit genre that even Guilty Gear can't redeem. There is no third option.

Oh, I get it, the definition of "fighting game" is where you have to fight against the controls

why did it take Pokemon so long to do what DIgimon did like 15 years ago

At least I know before release. Better then what happened with Rayman Raving Rabids where I ignored everything about the game after it's intial reveal and I ended up buying a fucking mini game collection.

>>280589030

But that anon claimed he care about Tekken more than Pokken. Not the other way around.

Harada's focus is on the team that needs the most help, not which IP he likes more.

>>280588768

Because the creators of pokemon didn't want to blow their load too earlier like the creators of digimon did.

Digimon's first generation material raised the bar so high for itself that future generations in the franchise felt lackluster. I mean with the exception of the season 3 anime and the DS games nothing else really felt compelling about the franchise as a whole.

So this other anon responds with the source that shows Harada in fact is focusing more on Pokken than Tekken 7 currently.

In response, the anon he proved wrong tried to act like the dispute was over whether or not Harada cared more about Pokken than Tekken, a point he introduced that the other anon never claimed to make.

1v1 does not constitute as fighting. That's dueling.

Fighting a sub-genre of brawler that pits players against other players.

A brawler pits players against NPCs.

Too much strawmanning over defining genres has made people believe ridiculous things.

Smash is a 2D brawler with a fighting mode.

>Soul Calibur is a 3D

Nope, 2.5D fighting game.

Ehrgeiz is one of the few actual 3D fighters (Overgrowth could be a 3D brawler or fighter depending on the end-game product, but it has fighting modes regardless).

>tfw noone will ever make superior fighting games like Ehrgeiz because they threaten 2D players.
>Smash could've been so much better with the Power Stone formula

All we're stuck with is Dissidia/Budokai clones vaguely resembling a fighting game, let alone 3D fighting game.

>>280587738
Late to respond, but there's nothing wrong with a game that plays like that, it's just completely off from what I was expecting and I'm not so sure I'm even interested anymore based on the gameplay I've seen.

As if that honestly means anything at all. News Flash: it doesn't. So why even mention that as if it makes a point. The Pokken team is inexperienced. That's literally all that means.

I don't know shit about this. Can you be any of the billion Pokemans or is it only limited to similar sized Pokemans like in the pic?

Except that it offers the people who play it exactly what they want out of a fighting game that all the Capcom derived games will never give them, and cannot due to their digital nature. Call me when any other game gives me a character as exciting and satisfying to control as Captain Falcon.

No. I don't know why people even suggest that. Smash is based around movement flowing on a 2D plane, if you want Power Stone, or even Poy Poy, get Capcom/Konami to resurrect the genre. Unless all you mean is that you want an actual 3D Nintendo brawler, which Smash isn't, and shouldn't be.

>>280594118
>Call me when any other game gives me a character as exciting and satisfying to control as Captain Falcon.

Call me when you've actually played other fighting games competently. Sol in GGXXAC was more hype than Captain Falcon. Hell, MOST of the Guilty Gear cast is more satisfying to control when you actually know what the hell you're doing. Keep that stupid Nintendo bias at the door m8.

No Smash is not based around a 2D plane. It's a game that existed post-2D limitations.

You're just closed-minded because of control scheme limitations.

Any fighting game can be turned into a 3D fighter.

>>280594376

>>280595420
Are you autistic? Fixated and unable to process past "what is"?

Smash would've been better as a 3D fighter instead of a 2D brawler.

what

>>280595510

You have every right to treat a non-competitive game as competitive if you wantto and people have the same right to laugh at you for it. It's as simple as that. It's the same reason why Dark Souls PvP shitters are hilarious.

>>280595774
Why would it have been better as a 3d fighter?

>>280595883
He's saying that Smash would be better if it was fully 3D like Dissidia or Budokai Tenkaichi.
I don't agree at all.

>>280595420
Super Mario Bros. didn't have a Z axis but they made Super Mario 64.

It's a fighting game based on 2D platformers using bottomless pits as ring-outs. Technically you could turn it into a 3D fighter by making it a 3D platformer. Whether everything translates well like up- and down-directional attacks is another story.

>>280595774
Smash is good because it's a unique 2d fighter.

>>280595068
Tobal is an Akira Toriyama'd Virtua Fighter.

>>280596104

You need to be more than just "unique" to be good.

>>280595774

It would have crashed and burned if it was a 3D fighter.

I know it's hard to remember that Smash started on the N64 because there are so many Gamecubebabby Meleefags around, but come on now. The controls, framerate, gameplay, etc. would have been atrocious.

>>280596179

Your concept of good is so far removed from reality that it's really not relevant to any worthwhile discussion.

>All this shitting on an arena fighter
It's like none of you played Power Stone. You're better than this, guys.

>>280596179
But it is good, and a lot of that is because it's unique. It's fun and there are no other fighting games like smash that didn't copy it.

>inb4 smash is a party game!

Fuck you all, this game looks great. It's as if the people who made this actually took time and effort to make, unlike GF and fucking ORAS.

Still, they could fuck up the character roster.

>>280596179
And it offers more fine control and hype than any other fighter, so it is good. If you disagree then you don't understand it.

>>280596382

Smash sells because it's a Nintendo fans wet dream, not because it's a competent fighter or "unique". The brand carries it. Smash is about as "competent" as the Marvel VS series, meaning not very competent at all.

Only difference is Smash wasn't made to be a competitive fighter so I don't fault it. It's the community that tired to make it competitive. They are the idiots trying to make a game into something it isn't. Just like Dark Souls PvP shitters.
