What's wrong with melee? I'd say it's possibly deeper than street fighter which is the standard of fighting games.

>>315546269
Well maybe not 4 because 5 is basically an upgrade to that, but you should definetely try 3 and the Alpha series sometime, especially the Alpha series, they're quite unique.

It would be worthwhile to play Super Turbo, Alpha series, or 3 online if you were going to prepare for 5.
Super Turbo HDR and 3 have console versions you can get on PS3 and 360 but I don't know how many people still play HDR. Plenty of people still play 3 plus you have close to 20 years of resources to figure out everything about it.

>>315547341
A cancel is when you cancel the animation recovery of an action for whatever reason, if you ever played a 3D platformer game chances are you've done a lot of jump cancels.

As soon as you explain why you're on /v/ instead of playing video games.

>>315547489
The recovery? I thought it was cancelling an action before it even finished.

>>315547479
Well have fun then, and hope the SFV's netcode is better than IV. Also to answer your other question, no you don't need a fight stick, fight stick is for people who learned how to play on arcades, it won't automatically make you play better, play with whatever you feel comfortable with, many pro players play with Xbox 360 controllers for example.

Maybe that's why. They fuck up anything that isn't a fighter and when they lose a 1 v 1 game, they have to admit someone is just better than them at the moment and they just want the quickest way to being the "better" player.

Anyone who plays long enough will realize you just have to play more and do a little better, and there will always be people that can kick your ass.

Fighting games are like playing the guitar-everyone wants to be good at it, and it must be a great experience to be good at it, but it requires a shitload of effort, and even practicing simple chords every day is more fun than playing fighting games just to go into Training mode and practice ridiculous combos. At least, that's how it feels for a beginner.

You don't need to d that at all. You can go VERY far with just simple combos, learning to play against other people is much more important after you learn the basic motions (which shouldn't take you that long).

>>315553414
>>315553314
Pretty much. Everybody wants instant gratification and don't really understand the concept of losing based solely on their own lack of skill, so they immediately overreact or give up because it's unfamiliar territory.

It's just so hilarious how somebody asks "How do I become better at ____?" without stopping to think how silly that kind of question is. You get better at things by practicing, but modern gamers can't wrap their heads around this sort of things.

>>315553651

>At least, that's how it feels for a beginner.
Even if he doesn't (and I'm pretty sure he doesn't but I don't know) feel that way, a LOT of beginners think that to play a fighter you absolutely have to go to training mode and grind out combos to even think about competing. Hell, some of them prioritize that over learning how to block or properly move in the games.

I don't find them to be all fun.

Whatever time I spend learning certain attacks or techniques is rendered meaningless when I when I go up again skilled CPUs or human players and from there it becomes button mashing.

>>315553937
I thought he meant he was a beginner and that's how he felt.

>>315554039

>>315554102
Hush, playing CPUs on the hardest difficulty is fine when you're literally just starting out. They're automated so you can get a basic idea of what beats what and some good defense practice.

>>315554102

by skilled CPUs I mean anything above normal in single player or the like.

But that's true. You wouldn't stand a chance in a tournament if you couldn't do maxdamage combos.

>>315553314
>>315553817
I understand that I have to practice, and I don't even need to win. I just want to put up a fight. But I just don't know where to start practicing. Blocking? Combos?

It's just difficult throwing yourself into this when everyone else is so much more experienced. The opponent blocks me and then combos me to death, I don't even know how to react.

>>315554250
I just found it funny he used the word skilled for CPU opponents.

>>315554315
You may not get top 8 at evo but you can do a lot with just simple combos if you are very good. Once you play to the point of being that good, spending a biut of time in training to learn a better combo won't be much t you anyway.

What's the difference between zoning and spamming?

>>315554315
We're talking online right now, most people's ambitions end with winning 10 matches consistently. Blocking and proper movement will serve you much better than grinding out a bunch of long combo strings here.

>>315554372
What you need is a good universal damage dealer (like a normal or 2 into a special move) and a short way into your DM/ultra/overdrive/distortion/whatever. After that, learn to not fold under pressure like mashing or whatever.

Spamming doesn't exist is the difference. Play scummy as fuck and don't give two shits about what any bitch niggas have to say about it, especially these days since it's online and you don't have to worry about getting shanked behind the arcade because you tick throwed one too many times.

>>315554372
Don't try to focus on everything at once. Try to focus on one thing and improve that one. Like for example play a session focusing on trying to defend better, another on trying to work on your pressure, another on your fireball game and spacing etc. You can't learn everything at once, have to go bit by bit.

When you lose to something THINK ABOUT WHY YOU JUST LOST. If you jumped in someone's anti air then you can realize you just got desperate and tried to land your jump in, so next time you'll think twice before jumping. If you keep getting grabbed realize you have to learn how to deal with grabs and look at how the opponent sets them up etc.

It's slow, it takes time, just keep at it.

>>315553495
Don't listen to them. The FGC are idiots who only want to keep out newbies but don't want to admit that everything about them is mechanically far more unintuitive than practically every other genre. If the games actually showed you why, say, you stuffed up a given input, or displayed hit/hurtboxes for you in game, or gave you a single player mode that progressively challenges your understanding of the game, acknowledged basic mindgames, or even just gave a proper walkthrough of the basic mechanics, there wouldn't be quite this issue. Instead, most of this shit is just invisible, and you're expected to just understand it all up front.

>>315555462
so really your argument boils down to:

>lol people playing a game I don't like or know anything about, what losers

Fighting games and Smash is the only kind of games that interest me any more. Why? because i only enjoy competitive games. Shooters i suck at. MOBAs i just really don't care for. And i love the idea of learning fundamentals and things you can do when you get in certain situation and then sometimes doing something different to throw you opponent off their games. and then picking your character based on how you play and counter picking your opponent. For some reason this is all so damn fun to me. Its like every character is a deck of cards and you can play any card you want and also playing Rock Paper Scissors all at the same time.

Melee is plenty fun, but like I said, constantly feeling some need to bring it up or something just brings to mind trying to show off for your older brother or something, just on a much, much nerdier level overall. It's just funny to poke fun at it.

/v/ doesn't like skullgirls or Xrd though.
Gotta say, for as much as you shit on the fgg, the capcom bias here is just as strong.

>>315555438

3rd strike is a crapshoot, I don't even mean that in "3S is shit" kind of way, either you fight someone else who is on your level, or you fight someone who knows what they're doing which essentially means every option you can use is shut down because of parrying and the juggle system.


Not to say that doesn't happen in 2 or 4, but in 3 it feels even more oppressive than it should be especially when you got a CC yun on your ass

>>315544964
Because once you think you're good, you've already lost. You must always stay hungy and accept that you need to get better if you want to git gud at fightan.

3rd strike is a fantastic game, im sure people will tell you otherwise but stick at it man. Id say spend more time in arcade mode to get a better feel for each characters strengths and weaknesses. After all online players all have the same character tools to use and a wider grasp of these can only help

I despise multiplayer on any game, and button-mashing is enough to win single-player in any fighter.

>>315557720
>Any game you could compare it to in how it handles?

Persona but without the depth and almost frustrating in how random and retarded it can be sometimes.

oh, and the grappler can't grapple, but has a 5 second omnidirectional meterless counter that wipes everything in the fucking game

fuck this garbage

>you don't have to worry about getting shanked behind the arcade

Ahah.........

People having mad beef and eventually getting ready to swing at each other all because of some dumb shit that happened on the arcade machines a months ago was actually one of best fucking things ever.

Ive been playing Tekken all my life ever since Tekken 2. The reason why i havnt perfected my skills is because ever since I started going online ive realized that fighting games are too spammer friendly, character learning curves are horribly unbalanced (i mastered paul in 2 days and got to warrior in 4, (ive played all my life as kaz and im still a fighter after 2500 online games and months of training) and berserker with asuka in 2 days. These kind of games rely way too much on guessing and memorizing as oposed to having skills or fun, and punish players for trying new things.

Tl;dr: fighting games are exactly the same as playing short matches of csgo. They are only fun when you win, skill is the smallest winning card and theres way too much memorizing shit. Looks like a job.

>>315558265

If you know someone who has it or you really don't care about blowing $50, it's good for dicking around.

You honestly shouldn't feel the need to prove anything to anyone here if what he says is correct, and being the best in your scene is an "achievement" to a board full of people that don't even like fighters.

>>315558732
That makes no sense you know.

>>315558245
Ah well. I've been playing Smash 4 more recently because with SFV on the horizon I think I'm burnt out on USF4. Can't wait for it to come out and get more hatemail for playing Ryu again.

>>315558571
Eh, one of my friends only cares to play blazblue, another only cares about persona, and the last doesn't even like them. I'd just be wasting money.

I didn't like SF4 very much, so I just didn't play it. Then when I tried Ultra on PC the transition to Steamworks apparently fucked it up, causing lots of lag when I tried playing. I heard that it eventually got fixed but ended up driving most people away.
Xrd is cool, but it's too hard online and I stopped having fun losing. I don't feel good about giving up on it, but it felt kind of like trying to learn boxing by hopping in the ring with a semipro welterweight. I didn't see any reason to stick around.
I'm not weeaboo enough to play Blazblue.

I'll try SFV.

>>315558965

I'm sick of blazblue, my friend killed that game for me because he bitches anytime any game other than blazblue exists.

even if he didn't I'd get sick of it because the game rewards rushdown so heavily and has consistently punished blocking and zoning as much as possible. Fuck, I'm not even going to rant about it right now but it's such fucking horseshit

what are the best fightcade games /v/

>>315559186
Why not try Street Fighter III?

Nobody in my area plays Marvel anymore; I dropped Street Fighter more than a year ago; No one here plays Dead or Alive; I have at most 2 friends that play Tekken, and I never see them; I'm the only person who actually is willing to play Soul Calibur; P4A was dead, so I sold it; Skullgirls is shit. That's why.

>>315559280
KOF98 and 3S. Everything else is pretty much dead

>>315559398
Pretty sure 2002 has more players than 98.

I'm trying to. Having a few difficulties though.
I saw a used madcatz TE for PS3 in great condition. Picked it up to use on PC for SFV and BB. Got home and turns out it isn't compatible with PC. I tried to get a refund but couldn't. I then found out I can buy a PCI USB card to make it work. I ordered one online after a lot of searching, they sent me the wrong one. Three weeks later and I'm still waiting for it to arrive. I just want to play some videogames.

>>315544964
I'm pretty decent at Melty, GG and uniel.

>>315559398
dead or not I still have a person to play them with

>>315559212
I just got bored of it. The friend that plays persona used to play bb with us too, but he rages like a goddamn monkey when he loses and eventually quit.

>>315559536

what usb ports do you have, on my old laptop the TE didn't work on my 2.0, but it worked on my 3.0

also do you have a 360 controller emulator installed?

Why do people love GG and shit on BB? Is it the metal music and style or is there a big flaw with BB?

>>315559334
Is it not dead? Fightcade's stats say there might be 20 people online in the US on weekday evenings.

>>315559546
Play Vsav if that's the case

>>315559398

>>315559968
And you can be one of them, anon.

>>315559805
It's one of those OG "cred" games here and people want to not look like casuals.

BB was shit starting with calamity trigger, CS 1 and 2 improved it in bits, CSE damn good until cheese pizza came along and it was about on Xrd's level. CPE and and the new one are just boring to me so I'm sticking with GG for now.

For people that already know and like the game, sure. For people that don't like the idea of going 0-500, probably not.

>>315558592
Easy. Using characters with easy and effective mixups and spamming a series of combinations, every now and then switching to others.
Check jin in tekken, not many people use him because his juggling and launchers are weak (besides ewgf ofc).On the other hand, he has the best parry in tge game and superb poking. But he isnt very spammer friendly and is complicated, a great and fun character whicj requires skill.
Now lets look at lars: some of the safest launchers, best mixups, best crushers, great juggling damag, really fast and easy mixups and poking. Low skill yet easy to win with.
In the end you see 10 times more lars in mp than Jins.
Competitive wise. Why do you think Knee stopped maining Bryan Fury post tt2 nerf? Why do you think Scarfman in smash always uses the best char and never gets a main? Its all about picking a character with easy mixups and spacing and spamming the fuck out.
No skill just memory and luck.

>>315560758

you're about 18 years too late to want to play catch up, on occasion you can find another beginner, but most players are pretty firmly familiar with the game.

>>315560758
You just find someone around your level and play them to get better. You're still going to lose a ton against other players, but learning the neutral will at least give you a chance

>>315544964
I literally can't, I tried playing with a friend and he just whooped my ass for four hours straight. Just mashing buttons and shit, good thing I don't care for the genre.

>>315560781
I don't play those games but even if Lars or whoever else is so good, you don't see a random guy picking him and beating top players. The same people are always at the top even though the strong characters are available to everyone.

I got in a fight in an arcade once

Some rage-head just punched me in the face after I beat him.

I grabbed him and slammed him on the floor, back to back judo style. Ran away after that and I never saw him ever again.

I'll try playing SFV, but my pc is shit, so i'll probably just hit the lab, and then play at my only fight buddy. I just hope he keeps his words, because he only mained shotos at 4 and sfxtk. He is the reason for me to refuse using Ryu to learn fundamental.

What were your biggest walks when learning? In playing Skullgirls for my first fightan, and I think I more or less am learning how to defend better, but when I get an opening, I'm never sure what to do. Or even to tell when I have an opening.

>>315557670
F-Roa

Why?

>>315564592

hitconfirms, in skullgirls it's a lot easier, let's take valentine for instance.

Her hits take so long to end, so if you do cr. LP into st. MP -> MP you have a gorillion frames to know if they're blocking or not. If they are blocking, call out an assist and go for the mixup, if not, cr. HP into your loops.

This is much easier in skullgirls with chains so everyone has a silly way to make sure they hit, like painwheel can just fly cancel if they're blocking, or peacock can set up a shadow/teleport to safety

The EX version is short range but the super-armor should work against anyone trying to chip you in the corner.

its not a genre you can get better just by playing with other people like shooters and mobas and smash
you have to spend a lot of time in the practice room playing by yourself just to learn the basics, and even more just to get decent at the game so its not a really friendly genre for new comers
only saving grace is fighting games have great character design, and once you're decent at one game you're decent at most of the others
but over all you'll never be great at them unless you waste a lot of time just playing by yourself wiggling a joystick

>>315567094
one of the most unfun fighters to try to get into as a scrub and its kind of sad since its easy to install and "free"

>>315552180
If smash isn't deep, as you say, show some arguments. What makes smash unable to be considered a fighting game?

>>315567464
because it doesn't have enough good clones to be considered it's own subgenre of fighting games

>>315567094
weeb shitty anime garbage along with bb

gg is the only respectable air dasher

>Some dude streaming challenges me
>He's pretty good but I beat him 3-0~
>He makes comments such as " There's definitely a pattern to it, I just can't get a hold of it"
>I'm just reacting to the shit he does and predicting/anticipating HIS patterns, other than bad habits I don't follow any gameplan
>Beat his Rufus 3-0, Yun 3-1~ each with my shitty scrubby ryu
>He switches to sagat, who I have trouble with, beats me 0-2, pretty close, think they were awesome matches
>He spouts "DEFEATED. Yeah he throws two hadokens and then jumps, so I can't do anything about that, so I figured why put myself in the situation in the first place"
>Find it funny, he won due to my mistakes more than him spotting some nonexistent pattern
>He leaves for a bit, challenges me again later
>He selects ryu " oh this ryu player haha"
>I go on to beat his ryu something like 5-0~
>He goes on to switch to many characters, I beat all of them, I think he gets a match off me with bison for a 1-1 before switching out
>He switches to E.Roo, beat him something like 15-0 or 20-0~
>He's completely silent except for sighing at his losses and his loud control stick button presses
>Dead sleepy at this point and high off pain medicine, realize the pain's gone so i can now sleep
>Turn on mic to say i am dead sleepy and this is the last one
>He switches to sagat
>Beat him for free from having downloaded him
>He lets out a groan
>I feel like shit and just say "good games man" in a friendly way
>Wait for a few minutes to see if he friend requests me
>He doesn't
>Turn off game and feel like shit for some reason before falling asleep to x-files season 3 re-runs
>Feel relieved that it was probably only 6 people tops who saw that entire thing go down

I love street fighter

>>315567464
What makes Smash a fighting game? We don't call beat em ups fighting games and they're more like the genre than Smash. The only similarities Smash has to the genre is that you have a dude and you attack the other dude. Smash has vastly different level design, win condition, tactics, and strategy. The way you play the games are nothing alike.

>>315568778

I beat the shit out of this zangief player over the course of 2 matches, I could hear him getting frustrated over the mic, so he swapped to his 6,000BP abel and started shouting "DISRESPECTED" every time he got a hit in, he ended up winning a fairly even match but I found it kind of funny how butthurt he got over that and how he felt the need to commentate his own match with passive shittalking just to throw me off.

>>315566220

The only real barrier Bedman has is his command air dash stuff. Granted, that one is awkward as hell to get used to, but Bedman has the additional bonus of nobody knowing the matchup vs a character WHOM YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO KNOW TO EVEN COMPREHEND WHAT IS GOING ON.

I love when they switch to their huge BP mains

>>315569190
tbqh idk what is even going on playing him

the replay mechanic is weird as fuck and i don't really like anybody else in that game but sol but only regarding his straight forward gameplay

>>315544964
If Rising Thunder couldn't do it, no game can.

Condolences, anon

>>315544964
I like to play single player games and dedicating hours and hours on end to one particular fighting game vs beating and having fun with a bunch of other single player games when I don't even have friends or like to play online seems like a bad idea for an investment.

>>315557165
I've got USF4 and Skullgirls on Steam, but it's just SF3 on PS3. You can add me if you've got steam. Name's the same as my PSN, but with a space instead of an underscore

>>315568891
So SoulCalibur isn't a fighting game because you can fall off the stage?

>>315549285
New York and San Francisco but only in like the Chinatowns and some random dive bars with an occasional arcade dedicated to tourney type stuff.

>>315544964
Because unless you are playing when it comes out learning fighting games is an uphill battle and not fun at all.

>>315549285
Everywhere nigga. I know you fags hate it cause "muh normalfaggotry" but I actually found a pretty damn active arcade scene in my area out of the blue through facebook one day. They have weekly meetups and monthly tournaments and some of them go to EVO relatively regularly and this year they didnt finish too bad. I think one of them made it to like pool 3 or something I cant remember.

>>315570683
I need to know how to combat this. I don't mind losing but I was some decent matches. Just watching my character get fucked without a chance and instantly gets me discouraged. I envy people that can pick up fighters quick and have naturally good execution.

>>315571590
>Naturally good execution
>HE'S TALENTED

Just put in the practice time dude

>>315544964
because I use a dualshock controller

>>315552348
Never again
Does anyone want to play '98UM?

I don't have to, I'm already good.

>>315571982
I know its all on me sucking ass at fighters but there is no denying that some can get a grasp on some longer combos really quick.

Overcoming that is the best part but starting at a deficit and trying to pass all of these hurdles is not fun. It also seems that the time I spend in the lab practicing is not doing much for me.I'll figure out something but i'd be lying if I said I wasn't lost.

First I need a gud fighting game

>>315571590
Only real way I know of is to sit there and grind your ass off till you become proficient in one. If you have the basic fighting game skills by that point (which you should) you should be able to more easily jump into other shit.

You also gotta take fighting game type into account. Being good at MvC3 doesnt mean youre going to be good in MK or SF or some shit. Cant hurt, but doesnt necessarily help much.

Hit a ceiling. Played them for years and years. Sometimes I would spend 10 hours at a time, sitting and playing Tekken or Soul Calibur online. I had to tape my fingers because I was actually starting to chafe from all the playing. But I was never actually very good. I wasn't bad, but really just above average. In SCV's online mode, the highest ranks are really just there if you grind for them, so I got to A1 in a month and stayed there for years, but again, never had better than a 55% winrate. In Tekken the ranking system is a lot more strict, and I think I only got to around the middle-tiers.

I think my problem is that I don't know how to analyze myself. I play on instinct and little else. If someone else was watching me and asked, "Why did you do that?" I'd have no answer to give them. I never really knew why I did any of the things I did, why I prioritized certain moves over others. I was especially bad at reading my opponents. My mixup game was absolutely abysmal, and I pretty quickly learned to just avoid them as much as possible. I guess I would just pick an outcome and go with that no matter what. In SC for instance, you can either do an A Grab or a B Grab, but I just instinctively reacted to an A Grab every time. If you did absolutely nothing but B Grab against me, you would probably win, because I did not want to play a guessing game at all. Part of the reason why I just fucking hate grappling characters in general.

>>315572379
learning combos fast don't really make a good player

>>315572329
Man, I fucking love that ken costume. He just looks so beastly, I mean look at his character portrait he looks like he's ready to fuck shit up.

>>315572379
Play ranked/endless/offline multiplayer and treat it as training mode. Try all the stuff you practiced in an actual fight so you can see what works and who and when

Execution is literally spending hours in practice mode though

ooga booga PC/PS3 lobby where?

>>315544964
No locals and my internet isn't very good so I have a hard time with playing online.

>>315572496
True you're right. But I hate it when it takes me like a week to learn and to SOMETIMES pull off a decent bnb in a anime fighter.

It makes it really hard to play. The system mechanics is just reading up and brushing up on your knowledge. I spend the time in the lab and get tired of it and just say fuck it and go against my nerves then I get beat like I never did anything at all and you have a guy just come a say "just be urself and practice :)" It makes me depressed.

>>315572502
I'm trying to get into anime fighters. Confirming and converting is a huge part of these games. Its also my weakest part. If I touch someone and I convert ~12% besides someone with a optimal combo that converts a mixup or a poke to 30%+ damage. You can see how that snowballs quick.

>>315572675
I don't want to be a training dummy set to no block for some reason I seem to play horrible when I go online. I try to apply what I learned and I get too focused on doing it.

I don't want to say fighters aren't for me but i'm stumped.

>>315573349
oh nevermind then, I don't play anime fighters like BB or GG all that much. don't most anime fighters have a get-out-of-combos move?

>>315544964

becayse marvel vs capcom 2 and super smash melee were my shit and now i can't adapt

>>315544964
I was alright at DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi 3

>>315573538
They do but it really doesn't change the tide of fights if the opponent is better than you. They can even be baited by a skilled player.

>>315568891
>We don't call beat em ups fighting games and they're more like the genre than Smash.

How? There you generally wail upon predicable opponents who don't have spacing matches with you and don't have anything like Smash's physics, which also shares block-stun/frame advantage resulting in the mutual back and forth that makes the game work. You don't get that in 'brawlers' or FPS knife fights.

because you need to spend hours to just learn how to do the fundamentals and inputs

>>315575284
that's pretty much relevant to any competitive genre minus special inputs

>>31554496
Because I've got better games to play.

>>315575548
No other competitive genre punishes you so hard immediately for not understanding all of its mechanics. In a FPS you can still move around, even if you get your face shot in later, in fighting games your opponent can easily shut down all your options, especially when just jumping in a direction can screw you over.

Why is vf5 so dead breh

>>315576107
FPS
>you make wrong movements, have poor aim/weapon choice, get shot in the face and die. maybe respawn depending on game. gives you illusion of more of chances when it's just losing dragged out over a longer period
fighting game
>you make wrong movements, push bad buttons/do unsafe shit, you get beat down and lose.

>>315576282
I brought it for xbox and there was LITERALLY nobody playing it nobody in ranked or player

Never touched it again

>>315575548
in shooters you can learn to play better just by playing the game, in fighting games you need to go into the practice room

Because fightan games peaked with Third Strike and I was never good at parrying.
Why slave to be good at a second-rate game?
