I never really played a fighting game before, and after trying

Watch Teach me Miss Litchi! on youtube and then play Blazblue

Oh neat, will that fill me in on the story?

Which blazblue do I start with?

>>381185649
You just missed CEO 2017 unfortunately, a big tournament with lots of fighting games. You can try to look for recordings from there, it might help you to decide.

Sort of? It's mostly just comfy as fuck and introduces the characters well
>Which blazblue do i start with
Central Fiction, it's the newest one and has the most active community. Just don't play ranked, everyone's in the lobby

Do I need one of those giant fight stick things to play it, or can I use an xbone?

Nothing wrong with pad, especially in GG/BB

>>381186219
Dont play this shit. Worst possible start for fighting noob. Extremely small playerbase, pretty hard to learn, bad balance. You will be just freash meat for 5 pros who play online. Start with sf5 or tekken 7

>>381185649


try pokken it's the easiest one to get into for causals

then probably skullgirls or melee

Might as well tell the whole world that Neotendo fans are underage casual faggots

Imagine being so underage you never even stepped foot in an arcade, these are the people who buy Switches

But do either of those have hot anime girls? That was part of what drew me to it.

All fightan ultimately flows from Steeet Fighter 2

That said you'll find plenty of cute girls in King of Fighters, Vanguard Princess, Arcana Heart, various Touhou spinoffs... The list could go on

I wouldn't say that you need a stick, it's more of a choice if you already have lots of experience in fighting games and want to experiment. I don't find pad to be not convenient enough. I also play some fighting games on a keyboard.
