I'm not into fighting games but I'll be all over this if you have a decent storybased campaign.

I haven't had the time to follow the development closely. Can someone please summarize shortly where are they at, how much work is being done, what's the outlook, etc.

Doesn't matter that you guys started as Fighting is Magic, this seriously doesn't belong here anymore. Move on already

They're pressing forward while focusing on specific characters for a given time period.
They're still not done with any of them and adding new ideas.
For instance, Twilight now has a stand/persona for her superpower.

This is one of the most ambitious things to come out of the fandom. Would you rather have this spot be filled by another cum inside thread?

>>27959089
Yes.

Because in some iwtcird thread mods don't delete negative comments towards it, it is also show relevant since it usually features a picture of rainbow dash.

I love mystical forest-y things

sonicfox is going to destroy in this game

I wonder if it'll manage to produce much of a tournament scene at all

>>27964173
Six characters plus the goat(making it seven) is a bit lacking for a fighter honestly. Well SF2:the world warriros has 8 playable characters and 4 non-playable characters as bosses at first so thats a thing. Then SF2: turbo added Fei-long, Dee jay and Cummy as playable then making the bosses playable too thus giving the players more options on who to use thus giving it a chance to be tournament ready. If TFH wants to be on tourney scene well seven characters just wont give it enough characters to use.

Carnivores when?

Can't wait for this game to come out, only if because 2 weeks after that I'll never have to see it mentioned ever again.

So is Lauren not doing the stage design anymore?

>>27964994
Lauren was never in charge of stage design.
She did character designs and "consultation" or something on everything else.

>>27965003
I wonder what involvement Lauren had outside of characters design. Wish she would join the next stream to do another Q&A.

>>27959089
Yeah because if you think it's in any way, shape, or form pony related (the only legitimate reason anything should be on /mlp/) you're deluding yourself. Meta doesn't count. They got CnD'd, we got FiM TE, and they moved on. Their "let's milk brony dollars" campaign doesn't impress me one bit. It's not ponies, it's not /mlp/.

>>27965117
>>27959375
Well bitch to the mods then, they're the reason this thread is here and not on /v/ or /vg/

Mods say it's pony related, therefore it's pony related, whether you like it or not.

OT: Stream was okay. There's potential in the custom trial challenges, and it's nice to see them to make ever so slight progress on the lobby thing. And I much appreciate the idea that the beta will only be going on for a month. Because I was too cheap to pay for early access and will hate every minute of not getting to join in.

Still holding out for an update on the dynamic music system, and watching actual versus gameplay (instead of doing combos in training mode) again.

8 characters is the "minimum default" chart size but the new games of old AAA franchises get over 30 characters and now niggers think that 24 characters is totally normal for a new game and "it should be the same for a new ip"

>>27964173
Unfortunately the shitty FGC doesn't like games with smaller rosters and think that all the not capcom games are shit but I can't give a fuck when 50% of the community only plays SF (and sometimes MvC) 40% plays only Smash and nintendo related games like pokken
10% of the community actually play something more than the current mainstream games out there, that's the people who plays Skullgirls, ArcSys and old games like Melty Blood or Darkstalkers

Also half of the people playing any NetRealm games are mashers normies or tournament players only playing for the money

>>27964969
>nobody mentions it again until the next shill
Because is easy to talk a lot about a no pony related videogame on /mlp/, and more if the game didn't came out yet and nobody played it
I think we should start writing a lot of self-insert fanfiction CYOA about random humans fucking with all the forest creatures of this world to solve that problem, that would catch the attention of /mlp/ for sure

>Can't wait for this game to come out, only if because 2 weeks after that I'll never have to see it mentioned ever again
I'm pretty sure we will have lobby matches every weekend like every fighting game on 4chan

>>27968099
>old games like Melty Blood

Current Code got a steam release what, like a month ago?

At any rate there's always gonna be a couple of tryhards who go to every tournament and practice all day and become super good and kick the other 5 attendees asses. We're gonna have our own little autism inducing """high level""" community just like SG.

>>27968497
>>27964173

I like small communities because they usually are a lot more friendly and united without turning into circlejerks, i played a lot of "dead games" before and I'm ok if we got at least 40-50 people online at peak hours, and about Sonicfox or those "high lvl" players, that's not bad at all, a few big names are magnets for more players, there is not such a thing as "bad publicity"

>>27968890
Goat is coming after the game is released, which is probably a good idea. A lot of new game devs that do stuff on kickstarter sadly makes the newbie mistake of promising too much and on release,leading to them either being forced to cut stuff out, breaking promises and delays.

At least these guys did say early on that Goat would come later

How about this compromise guys. TFH isn't pony related , but the moderation of the site has designated /mlp/ to be its home for the time being.

Everybody's autism calmed?

remember where you are. if this were the old days, we could already be in peace by just posting porn.
they would be like "nigga, i hate that shit, but dat ass" or "it's shit, but just look at THOSE"
you know this to be true, even when the mods said it's /mlp/ related in spirit, everyone knows they did that so all the whole website don't shit it, and TFH becomes MLP: part 2

Finally got to watch the first 80% of the stream I missed

Its nice to see them making pretty steady progress. Generally not huge changes between individual streams, but they're probably on schedule. I'm really liking how Oleander is turning out. Best ungulate.

I do miss when they would get the QA guys to just play in the background while they talked though. Demonstrations of new moves and stuff are neat but they don't really give you as much of a feel for how the game is shaping up.

I'm still expecting them to get a a couple characters complete and find out that optimal combos are still 2 minutes long despite their juggle decay, particularly with Tian's ability to carry people into the sky and continue comboing all the way back to the ground with her level 2 super
But they can always add a burst later, and they have said that they aren't completely opposed to the idea, they just don't think it will be necessary.

And you're right about the chinese. Weird.
What is Stanley Tour? Some kind of chinese fgc meme?

>>27973117
>>27973322
I guess the reason why there is a lot of chinese must be because they are total fans of the fighting genre

Will the new characters also be subtle MLP characters or will they have actual original characters?

>>27978946
Kinda, Im pretty sure they finished a while ago. The last thing I remember them doing was a balance update, and adding taunts. The game itself is decent, but having the actual ponies is what makes it shine. Without them there is literally no reason for me to give 2 fucks about the new project. Espically since they copy/pasted most of the move sets.

>>27978996
Shame. As much as I appreciate Tribute Edition being a """"finished"""" game, I wish the single player AI wasn't input-reading garbage and there was some form of training mode.

>>27978987
There's going to be a goat soon after release as a DLC character, free for backers. The devs also plan to add new characters as DLC with movesets they had planned to give to distribute to other characters from Fighting is Magic. But they've also planned on making Predator characters that work differently as well.

>>27978987
i guess the first 3 or 4 will be subtle, but after that, maybe they make new characters

>>27978976
I'm sure the game will be good in he skull girls engine. And the original game had online play. But without the ponies, it will be just another niche indy fighter. IDK why people are so dickhard about a story mode in fighters now. The focus should be on game mechanics and balance. If you want a good story read a book or play an RPG.

final bump for the night

>>27980526
Maybe i'm going to sound retarded, but what is a break burst?

>>27982583
It's a type of combo breaker, where you can instantly leave hitstun or blockstun and encumber your entire character in a hitbox (like a literal burst of energy for example) to get an opponent off your back.

>>27982647
ah. something like the ki blast in tenkaichi 3, isn't it?

>>27982874
Hm, nah, I don't know much about Tenkaichi but aren't those just regular attacks?

The big thing about a burst / combo breaker mechanic like that in classic 2d fighters is, it's something you can do while stuck in a combo. Usually there's literally one option available to you while you're being combo'd on - that is to wait until the other guy is done. With a "burst" type mechanic, you will (usually at a big cost / one time use per game etc) be able to interrupt the opponent even while you're stunned and being pounded on.

>>27983035
Until they bait out your burst, the you get fucked sideways.

>>27983035
the burst in tenkaichi 3 was that, in the middle of a enemy combo, you could press O (i don't know it there was a tenkaichi 3 for xbox), and stop the enemy by exploding your ki and sacrificing some health

>>27982583
>>27982874
Just like the burst in the Guilty Gear series
You can perform a Breaker in MKX by sacrificing your current stamina bar and 2 bars of super meter

>>27983085
Right, yeah, then pretty much something like that.

>>27983069
Well, depending on the game. There are burst which trigger upon the next hit / are unpunishable on block or even on whiff. I prefer no bursts at all if you ask me.

>>27985222
but burst are good if they are counters at best
not fully stop the damage but at least hold back the enemy

Confirmed for Marvel player also nice trips

>>27986045
Never played or liked Marvel much, actually. It's not like there's a lack of good games to cite which do *not* feature a burst mechanic.

And I don't count SG, I mean in there it's really just a hard combo limiter, do so-and-so many hits, they get a burst, that's lazy as fuck design but whatever, I'm thinking really like BB or GG where you just get out of combos for free. Playing around these is something that just annoys me to no end, imho the fact that the time where your opponent is in hitstun is sacred "you-time" is one of the things which make fighting games satisfying. A burst looming over your head 24/7 diminishes that feeling a lot for me. Not to mention stuff like people going crazy with reversals cause they got their burst protecting them should they mess up. It's not my cup of tea, so I hope they don't feel the need to implement that into TFH. Make combos do less damage, or shorter, or even shorter and more damaging, there's other variables to mess with in order to not have the game feel non-interactive for the defending player, a global burst mechanic is the worst way to go about it in my book.

Face the facts;
TFH is to FiM and /mlp/ what Yokai Watch is to Pokemon and /vp/.

You couldn't even make your own threads outside of this one without them either being taken down or hitting page 10 immediately. You exist solely out of pity and nothing more - and there is nothing worse than a pity party.

You guys should probably bitch on /qa/ because shitting up these threads about how much you dislike the mod ruling won't change much (but make people who want to talk about this game a bit uncomfortable). It's not like we could take it to /v/ or /vg/ if we wanted to.

>>27986436
It would be best if you tried regardless.
You're simply an audience for a niche game that you can find the fulfilling joy of elsewhere.

>>27986458
But why would we want to, /v/ is a shithole which makes talking about this game harder than you could ever hope to make it in here

>>27986482
EQG stays because it's both successful and enjoyable.
TFH is only tolerated because there are a trace amount of fautists left on the board whereas the vast majority realises the shitty practices at work here. TFH is a leach whereas EQG thrives in it's own right.
In short; take the leach to someplace it belongs - not here.

>>27986530
And it belongs here, at least a mod said so once. And I don't agree with your opinion but I would defend to the death your right to misspell "leech"

>>27986590
>a mod said so
No principles, just cucks, huh.
Literally no other argument?
You lean against the shoulder of a passing mod for a sham of a game that stands on the shoulders of giants.

>>27986623
It is pretty sad to watch, honestly.
Just gonna wait for the reply, see what he has to say.

>>27986623
You make it sound harsh, but okay, let's go with that.

That passing mod's judgement of arguable sensibleness, and the fact that /mlp/ is more cozy than /v/ with it's hardcore ponyphobia - which was probably the reason for that mod's judgement call in the first place. Like, as if to say, if it's pony enough to cause meltdowns on /v/, it's pony enough to stay here.

Good enough for me to forgo my "principles". Deep down I know it's not pony. But that won't make me not talk about it in here.

>>27986623
>>27986661
>>27986724
I also want to add that I passionately argued that it's super duper pony really guys when this whole thing first came up, cause had we been abandoned onto /v/ that would have been pretty bad.

>>27986188
But BB and GG have bursts, I'm the "I want mah BB Burst" guy

>>27986372
Because I like fighting games, I enjoyed the old game for more than "has ponies on it" and this is the same game with improved mechanics in a less shitty engine with better inputs, sprites, resolution
Also I'm not a furry but i love cute colorful animals (like Viva Piñata and animal ccrossing

Hasbro killed PonyHammer 4K, JayAnimation/Button Mash, 2 of my favorite pony reviewers and a lot of promising projects, i supported a lot of those (the PC halo game and the DBZ fan game died too)
I can't left them kill this, freedom planet did it and i know this game can do it too

>>27986412

They get deleted every time, no exception

I see, well, and I'm the "I don't want any bursts" guy. I mean explain to me the appeal of a burst mechanic like that. Without stating that the combos are too long / oki game is too strong or reversals are too weak or that in any shape the game feels too non-interactive on a defending player's side, because I vow all of that can be fixed independently.

Face the fact:

TFH began its existence as a FiM fan fighting game.

I guess Pom is Lambo now

Best route for TFH sustaining a community is to have amazing netcode and prioritize one maybe two big tournaments a month like FG does. Keep the Forums, Reddit and Discord very tight nit.

Maybe have Mane6 help back a singular TFH-only Major each year to bring the community together like KI Cup

i'll go with that, but also

>I keep saving my burst, the round continues
>we both have low health
>he hits me and now he's juggling
>his combo can kill, I'm about to lose but I burst/his burst bait fails
>win the neutral game, land a combo and a super
>now he is dead and I won the match
>he ragequites before the outro ends
The alternative ending is
>he is juggling
>uses a super so I can't burst and kills me with chip damage

A burst usually adds some of deep and a lot of epicness/frustration when it's used to win a round, that delicious salty tears, I need to taste them again

Now you explain to me why are you using BB and GG as examples, both games have the burst mechanic, those are probably the best examples of a good implemented burst system

Im falling asleep, see u in six hours

>>27957892
did the beta come out?

>>27988095
They're still pre-alpha, m8. They signed on for an 18-month dev cycle.

>>27988086
"epicness and frustration" sounds like what people use to advertise comeback mechanics like ultra meter or x-factor

Cause it's really mostly just like what you said there, smart play mostly means "hold on to it until you're stuck in a combo that can kill" and then be free and get another shot. Or use it to prevent that huuuuge counterhit combo you rightfully deserve to get hit by after mashing out reversal supers or whatever. It's like a second life bar, like an additional "mini round" almost which just slogs a game's pacing to a crawl twice a match by forcing someone out of advantage for no good reason.

And don't give me those two oh-so hype burst baits you saw some japs do in that one video once, in high level play they're exceedingly rare because you can burst "fail safe" on reaction in almost any match. At least for BB that's *definitely* the case.

If you *do* value the neutral game, why not have it properly rewarded. Why not make it so that when someone gets in on you, or you get in on someone, you get your combo full on with knockdown / setup afterwards, and if they fail to defend properly further, they get damaged further, all the way to the P. It's not like baiting a reversal can't be just as hype as baiting a burst. Well I mean sure, baiting a burst is more hype because they're more or less designed to be virtually failproof and it happens so rarely as a result of that... but it doesn't make the game any more deep than just reading the opponent's wakeup behavior without the burst option available. In practice, what I really see is, you wail on someone for long enough, they're closing in on death, and then they will either get opened up and burst in order to not die, or reversal, and be out without any risk on hit, but still be safe because they burst when they're about to get punished.

>>27988086
>>27988444

cont.
It devalues everything really. It devalues the neutral game - people can be more reckless with an out-of-jail-free card on their hands. It devalues a strong oki - opening someone up is worth less when they have an out-of-jail-free card on their hand. it devalues good reads - reading the reversal / button for a huge counterhit doesn't cut it, they still have their out-of-jail-free card. Both players just get a virtually risk free STOP sign they can hold up at any point in time to reset the game back to neutral. Baring the exceedingly rare moments of, admittely, utter hype where someone makes like 3 correct reads in a row to perfectly play around an opponent's burst, they do literally not add anything to the zero sum game, just slow it down and equalize it. And again, that's not something you *don't* get without burst baits. Getting a knockdown, doing 2 throws, a meaty counterhit and ultimately a backdash to bait a reversal, and perfect someone off a single touch and a couple of reads, it requires the exact same mental aptitude.
