Im watching pro sf5/ tekken fights on youtube and it looks intense

Unironically Pokken Tournament.

The game teaches fundamentals so well, and it has an amazing community to boot. Move on to Skullgirls or Guilty Gear afterwards.

Don't do this.

SFV has been made extremely easier to play because the execution barrier has been lowered significantly and characters have less tools than they did in previous games

Start with Street Fighter to learn fighting game fundamentals, you may need to look up videos online for tutorials, then you can move onto other fighting games such as anime fighters like Guilty Gear or 3d games like Tekken.

>>383064001
Sorry Anon, hope you get one soon. Trying to scrounge up cash myself since I just can't leave Pokken.

Start with Guilty Gear or Skullgirls but expect to get bodied hard for a very very very long time with no answer to anything.

Start with SFV, it's the most beginner friendly fg ever

Tekken is cool but more difficult and there's less resources on it

GG is way too hard for a beginner

KOF is great but nobody plays it and; like GG, there's a lot of mechanics and the execution is not as lenient as in SF or Tekken

>>383063259
depend what you want to play, 2d or 3d
It can sound dumb but starting with sf2/3rd strike on fightcade is not a bad idea
SF5 is also an easy game to start with
I played 2d fighters for 15 years so I don't know if it count but tekken 7 is also easy to get into, it was my first 3d fighters and I was able to play in the destroyer rank after 10-15 hours of pratice
But whatever you chose, you have to know that fighting games are a lot of pratices and getting your ass fucked in multiplayer
you have a lot of youtube videos on the fundamentals, that a good start

You can get Revelator+Rev2 right now for 30€ total, or just Revelator alone for 13€. Not sure if there's a discount on the US store though-

>>383063259
>which one to start out with?

if you want to get into classic 2D fighting games (street fighter, king of fighters, guilty gear, blazblue, dragonball, mahvel, etc) then get SFV.

if you want to get into tekken then get T7.

i kinda feel like i would be better with a joypad since i think that the dpad fucks me up but everyone says that theres no real difference except in the preferences. Porbable gonna try one out when i go to the arcade this weekend

I just googled "joypad" and... it's just a controller too. What's you question, exactly?
Anyway, I use an arcade stick myself but you can play it with a normal controller too.

>im only able of playing on ps4 (eu)
That's a good thing considering that the EU region is the one with the 72% discount

lel my bad i meant a arcade stick

ty though

Choose whatever game you want and start playing you stupid fuck. The games have tutorial and there's also youtube for more advanced stuff.

>>383063259
Download fightcade, download roms, play with a friend.
SF2 is easy to get into and teaches you fundamentals, that will benefit you in every game. Inputs are quite strict tho.

What plagues fighting games is retardation from the devs/publishers. Capcom, Bamco, Arcsys, they make good games but sprinkle them with stupid decisions and business practices. SFV at launch was barebone as fuck, Tekken went through 5 years of development where tournaments were held but no one actually owned the game, and after those 5 years the game came out almost as barebones as SFV was. Every GG product becomes obsolete after 5 months, when it's time to buy the game again for 2 characters.

All this to say that fg players are a rightfully angry bunch and are prone to fling shit at everything, so you get extreme opinions on each game.

comeback when they add 1 frame combos then we'll talk, you fucking capcom shilling jewish piece of faget shit

>>383068786
It is garbage, but it is also one of the most played games. Tekken is also widely played but 3D games play much differently from other games.

>>383067579
Because its not exactly like IV and doesn't have arcade mode.

Street Fighter, it's the most beginner friendly series and SFV was tailor made for new players.

Looking for more movement and options from there, go to Guilty Gear. If you want more footsies or fundamentals go to King of Fighters. Want more spacing and neutral game, go to Tekken. If you want more speed and combos, go to Killer Instinct. If you like controlling momentum and resets, Mortal Kombat.

The latest installments of each of these have good tools to learn from and thanks to youtube you can search up detailed information on most characters easily. Don't worry about picking the right game or character, play what you want. It's a perfect time to start.

If you want something a little comfier, you can also try Dead or Alive, Pokken, Smash Bros, Injustice or Skullgirls.

>>383067579
Overly simplified, characters can only really be played one way, terrible ui, terrible loading screens, most of the stages are ugly as fuck, game is basically rushdown only, neutral is terrible, etc.

>>383068786
It had a shit launch and was feature poor and character sparse

It's honestly the most beginner friendly fighting game right now due to low execution barrier and there's bound to be at least 1 character you like, don't be memed by contrarians into picking up some old game with dead online that only pros are playing, in SF5 you can actually face people at your skill level because there are newbies

I dont get why people say SFV over Tekken

Tekken was much easier for me to get good at than SFV is, im legit having trouble.

>>383063960
i won't necessarily second this, but i will add to it:

starting in an airdasher like GG or Blazlbue is much harder than starting with Street Fighter, but you'll be much better at picking up other games if you do.

>>383063259
As someone just now getting into fighting games myself, I really feel like SFV and Pokken Tournament are good places to start. Smash 4 is good too.
