Imbalance is a real arguement though. This is not the 90s anymore. You sell your games with always online and 2000 dollar dlc then at least balance your shit regulary.

I didn't mean it was an invalid criticism. Perhaps I should have just said "complain".

While we're on this subject, though, how often do you think a game should be patch? I believe that overpatching can also ruin a game competitively to some extent.

The characters are extremely varied, it's fast-paced, and the way it handles resources and damage is makes for alot of depth. Also it's flashy and the combos are fun.

>>168277607
Sounds interesting. Are long combos a necessity for all characters to have decent damage output, or does any character have, say, Street Fighter V length combos that are viable?

Someone said it takes a much longer time investment to play rather then SFV because it's harder to get the fundamentals

Is this true

The price of Revelator will probably go down, but it will also have fewer players, seeing as how Rev 2 will be the newest version.

>>168277606
I think one can't just look at frequency alone but also has to take into account how much gets changed.
Every 2-3 months with minor adjustments to developing or persistent problems is what I like. It also bundles very well with after launch content release schedules.

>>168277993
Yes. More universal mechanics and more specific mechanics that you have to learn for some characters. Have you ever played Marvel vs Capcom? You know how you have to learn loops for some characters or special movement options for one guy? GG has a good bit of stuff like that. Only a few characters have a heavy relaince on, say, Jump Installing, but you will definitely need to know it for those 2 or 3 characters, especially Chipp. Also, the game has a lot more mechanics than SFV, and you'll need to learn how and when to use them.

>>168277846
It doesn't have any characters who could realistically get off with only using combos the length of SFV. There was Hakumen before, but his combo length is slightly longer in CF. However, he still has extremely high damage off stray hits or even short combos in comparison to the rest of the cast. Alot of his combos are entirely based on a resource called Magatama. Unlike other characters, he doesn't have a super meter, and instead has 8 dots that gradually fill up over time. He can use these dots to preform special moves, which in turn lets him extend combos.

Alot of SF players tend to be comfortable playing him because of his design and more defensive playstyle. While BB is considered extremely aggressive, the defensive options in the game are really strong, and Hakumen has some of the best, with things like a frame 1 counter and such. While some of the new matchups are bad for him (most notably Nine), he still has the highest damage output in the game, and can shave off 80% of your health with the correct resources. He can ToD as well, but that's extremely situational and doesn't really happen in an actual match.

GGxrd is easily the most accesible anime game i've ever played , it's even easyer than melty, and that one is pick and play too.

As always games vary a lot from low level to high level play but game is healthy enough to have all kinds of players (400-500 players seems low but it's actually pretty good, USFIV had 1000).

You can pirate it and test it with a friend using the steamworks crack btw.
I'm getting it later for sure now that i heard there's not more bullshit versions for a while.

Mostly a SF player , but from what i've seen it's way more accesible than lasts ggs.

Dragon Ball is like 80% dick jokes or similar

>>168278521
which crack are you using?

>>168278458
Yes. All of the Sign players moved onto Revelator. I guess you can get Sign to practice learning the movement and such, but if you want to actually play against other human beings, then you'll need Revelator. It's not like KoF 2002 vs KoF XIII, with those being completely different games. It's like the difference between Super Street Fighter IV and Ultra Street Fighter IV, with the latter being a straight upgrade with all of the players migrating to it.

How full of shit do you have to be to say GG has some incredible entry barrier that you shouldn't even try to. You can learn all the mechanics in an hour and then from there it's no different from any other fighter. Revelator has a godly tutorial as well.

>>168278521
>You can pirate it and test it with a friend using the steamworks crack btw.

i meant which steamworks workaround, i believe there's multiple, and some only work with codex instead of 3dm

>>168278723
Any game that relies on steamworks and is P2P works with multiplayer cracks.
You still need to invite through steam friend list (ranked doesn't work obviously, and you can't play with legit users).

You can bucaneer it to fuck around with a casual friend like i did or until it gets discounted (being poor is suffering). Or just if you want to test if it's shit or w/e.

It's a really good game , i'd get it if you're ok with the price tag of revelator + 20 bucks for the rev2 dlc.

>>168278720
When did anyone state that you shouldn't try? The only game I ever see people actively try to stop new players from joining is Tekken. People are just saying that it's harder to play than SFV. The great tutorial doesn't change that you have to be thinking about all of these mechanics during a match.
>>168278802
Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown's is actually really good and explains mechanics in details, also stating why you should use them.
>>168278827
No, Revelator's story is a sequel to Sign's.

>>168277993
I haven't played SFV but it seems like a pretty "basic SF game" and I've played a lot of 3S + a small amount of other street fighters and compared to those GG takes a bit more getting used to just because it has such a wide array of universal mechanics, not even counting the character specific things, it's not impossible though it just takes time and integrating them into your play one by one while you figure stuff out

>>168278720
GG has a great tutorial but to understand the base universal mechanics and using them properly takes a lot longer than just blazing through the tutorial once

>>168278802
>I dont think there IS a better fighting game tutorial than Revelators. Except maybe Skullgirls (but nobody plays that)
Nah, Skullgirls' is pretty bad if you ask me. Walls of texts and overly strict trials.

>>168279026
I don't understand. Do you have a learning disability? Once you know what you have to work with, then you can work with it. Do you have a shit memory or something? Maybe you need to practice the inputs for a couple of them for a few minutes to understand the timings but it isn't something you need to spend any amount of time figuring out afterwards.

>>168278978
All I want anon is to be able to play the game offline and play story.

If I like it, I'd pay the full price.

I've never torrented a game before besides some weird rabbit fighting game.

Could I just download uTorrent and then find it, and then play offline?

Agreed, the massive arrow on his forehead is the finest, most subtle detail I have ever witnessed on a character. It really makes him stand out from the rest. The arrow has so many deeper metaphysical layers behind it, it's just fascinating speculating as to what the creator is trying to say. The mind of a genius can not be fathomed I guess. A piece de resistance in character design for sure.

>Walls of texts

>>168279125
>>168278720
If we're talking about pure numbers, you have to memorize a higher amount for GG. SFV has how many defense options besides regular blocking? V-Reversals and that's about it? In GG, there are dead angles, bursts, blitz shield, and faultless defense. You knew when to use one over the other and why as soon as you started playing?

If you don't know this much i don't want to spoonfeed you into a bad decision.
Torrenting ain't safe in some countries.

Research yourself , make the decision.

But yes, that's all you need. Also, don't use utorrent , use tixati or other BT client.
Utorrent is adware (and was malware at one point).
You can play offline and online vs people that use the same release using steam friend list to invite to lobbies.

>>168279125
Well for example bursts. When you start, will you burst at the right spot? Fucking no. Do you know how to burst bait? No. Do you immediately upon playing the tutorial know this? Of course not. Do you know you should IB the second hit of stun dipper? Especially some things that aren't immediately as obvious, like FD runstop or something, I don't know who the fuck incorporates all parts of the tutorials into their play right away

My point is it takes time to integrate into a core part of your game, not just "hehe I used IB here for no reason, I just wasted a ton of FD for nothing, I remembered to press burst once during this match"

Speaking of choosing the right defensive option, when should I be using a blitz shield vs a dead angle?

>>168279762
You don't need tourney level perfect play to get started. Don't be retarded. You need to learn the rules of chess to start playing chess, but you don't need to be able to play like a grandmaster to start at all. I think you just speak without thinking.

>>168279930
What should I use anon

>>168279947
Opponent already raping you with a blockstring and you want them to actually fuck off instead of just getting pushed back with FD? Use dead angle. Are they approaching and attacking you but it hasn't hit yet or you think they're going to throw out a hit? Blitz shield.

>>168280087
QBittorrent or transmission

>>168280023
Who said anything about being a grandmaster? We're just saying chess has more shit to learn than mancala.

>>168279930
Sorry , i'm not up to date with torrent client meta memes, is it supposed to be bad now?

It's ugly but it's lightweigth and uploads-downloads just fine.

I don't use private trackers much these days, some drama involved that made some autist ban tixati from his tracker or something?

I used Vuze before, but it got super bloated.

>>168280236
You can play gg without knowing all the rules and tools unlike chess.

Anyone else realize that fighting games don't require skill, but your decision on whether or not to pick a top tier?

Look at Daigo. Can't win shit now that Ryu's low tier.

Look at FAB. Can't win a single major with a shit tier.

Look at Itazan, Storm Kubo, etc.

I feel like fighting games need to move to a captain's mode style draft pick that emphasizes counterpicks instead of the system that's in place now. This guarantees that low tier characters like Zangief serve niche purposes.

Daigo could still beat you with Ryu or even Fang.

>>168280450
Of course. I'm not a tournament player. What's been established is that Daigo doesn't stand a chance against other players of his calibur solely due to his character picks.

>>168280236
Go has less rules than chess yet go ends up being ten times more complex. If there are too many variables, it ends up being a game of luck and guesses aka GG and not reads and conditioning aka SF.

>>168280291
Same applies to most video games, though. Retard mashing won't get you as far in GG as it will in SFV, though, due to damage scalnig and combo importance. It's not like SFII where you're daed in 5 hits and can get lucky every once in a while even if you don't know what's going on.

>>168280530
thats because sfv is based on unga bunga bullshit and isnt balanced. you could beat someone with a low tier character in sf4 and sf3 but not in sfv

>>168280551
You say that like reads and conditions aren't important in GG. Mashing DPs will get you nowhere in that game, just like GG. Also, how do you define the difference between a guess and a read? I see the two used practically interchangeably in this general now, so I'm legitimately curious.

Personally, I think that "pressing a button with no thought, then converting it into a combo" is the former, while "knowing your opponent will do this specific action in the future and doing something preemptively" as a read. Both exist in both games, regardless. Is a Ken empty jumping and then immediately throwing out an EX Shoryuken after landing a read of their opponent being too afraid to anti air them or just a guess that the other guy wasn't going to do a throw or that you weren't going to use meter? Is a Potemkin using heat knuckle in the second round after a Chipp opened the first round with a teleport behind him a guess that he would do the same thing again or a read of his opponent's habits?

>I'm not a tournament player.

tier importance varies from game to game. In something like Marvel vs Capcom 2 with a massive tier gap? You betcha, Roll is just not viable. In a boring game like SFV where characters don't really have much variation? Not so much. If you just put in more work with a not as good character, you can still win. Have you ever tried to do a pistol only run in an FPS? Sure, it's not as easy, but it's possible if you are already skilled.

What makes more complex games like GG fun is that you can have fun against braindead opponents too.
In SFV once they get past the jumping is the answer for everything stage you HAVE TO play on their level.
If someone puts zero thought to what they are doing in SF, they might still win because you think you got the read on them but you actually didn't because they didn't have a plan in the first place.
If you play against a good GG player with no gameplan you will lose 100% of the time.

Why do that to yourself though?

>>168285242

Well:
Tekken 7 isn't out yet
Rev 2 isn't out yet and I don't have Rev 1 because ASW judaism is painful.
I'm not a KoF player
I left Sm4sh somewhere else and don't have my disk
All other fighting games are dead.

And honestly while Tekken is ok to play casually it never gripped me in a way that gave me the drive to play it seriously. I dunno why exactly. It might be just.... the game 'feels' sort of....not low impact exactly but there's a certain crispness to 2d fighting games that I feel Tekken lacks. I can't really explain it and I know it's irrational, but it just hasn't gripped me in a motivating way.

I love all fighting games and play them all casually/sometimes when it comes up, and honestly find the hating on a given game/series sort of baffling and pointless. But I do have my preferences.

Is Injustice any good? Is anyone playing the first one to get ready for May? Does anyone give a portion of a shit?

Yeah I know. Gotta try though. Tired of fuckin' ranked. I need matchup experience without losing LP until I'm back down to bronze. Then farming Kens and Ryus back up.

What happens I swear to god. I run into a Bison or Balrog or some shit and get dumpstered and lose my LP a bunch of times until I'm returned to the land of garbage shotos who I suck LP out of until I'm back to real opponents again. Need lobbies somethin' fierce.

Skullgirls is fun but honestly kind of obscure and too low on neutral too higher on combo execution for my personal taste. Fun at a low-medium level but I wouldn't want to be better at it than that/play with better people.

Mostly talking about valentine. Her BnBs need you to land with a precise timing to launch a second time.
Never had problems with parasoul or cerebella (other 2 in my team) besides not remembering long combos due to goldfish memory.

Reminder that smash 4 has 2 weeklies at esports arena while no other game can get that community support.

>>168289148
I can't remember, sorry. I know that I didn't practice much at all and that I was dropping a lot because for a while I didn't even bother correcting my crappy combos so my advice is to not let that shit rock and learn your combos for good.

I'm only 24. My dad loves Super Turbo, though. He's the reason I play fighting games.

Still, you can't deny that SFII is the most iconic SF. It's the one everyone knew about and played. Pretty much THE fighting game at the time. Consider the fact that it was a cultural phenomenon of sorts, while later SFs were only minor waves. SFII got two films, a bunch of toys, an American cartoon, an anime, and recursive adaptation of the film a a game. The merchandising and recognition of Alpha, III, IV, and V are not nearly as high, at least not in the west.

It is ok and fun to have that as part in your play but don't build your entire play around it.
This is something that will harm you as player when you play ranked.

>>168295747
It's not that. Pulling it out in an actual tournament match or such is obviously what you should be doing, but if you're just doing that against every player then you're not really improving because they're faced with the same situation while not understanding.

Its kind of a shitty mindset to focus on that stuff specifically.
Shows that you dont even want to truly play the game, just gimmick people out for cheap wins.

Players like that tend to plateau really fucking hard quickly.

Is arcana heart 3 love max fun? worth 7 bucks?

is for honor a fighting game?

Faust is getting buffed so stick with him

>>168296230
Yes and yes if you got friends to play it with or join a discord.

why is karin the only fun character to use in sfv..

>>168296552

I dunno but I agree. Actually Ryu is fun as fuck too but Karin is just...mmf. Think Kolin will be fun but not sure.

>>168296387
bro its a netherrealm game and a comic book game they can come back anytime

>>168296552
I'd pick her if she had rekkas all the time.
I also can't into 6 different options after a special , feels weird to me.

That's probably why you find her fun though, different characters for different players.

I play Balrog, no bully.

>>168294771
Oh look it's some "sage" trying to dispense generic ass advice with an FG skin.

>>168296552
Play alpha and see how much they gutted her.

Since nobody responded, just grabbing this and adding 6 Sanwa buttons to it. Just wanted a 2nd stick that would arrive sometime before next year for around $80. Now I wait for somebody to trash my decision and tell me I should've bought Y stick for $200 instead.

>>168297858
hows the input lag on that paticular stick or don't you know?

did a new wave of Injustice 2 codes go out?

>>168297858
There hasn't been a real sale on sticks for years because dumb niggas keep buying a new stick full price every few months but can't build a pc.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=mFzA0Ri2vI4&sns=tw
So apparently Harada had something to do with For Honor?

>>168297858
I got a BrawlStick and modded it for about the same money, but i got a bargain 30€ for the stick and 40€ for a JLF joystick and 8 buttons years ago.

I think 50 is pretty overpriced for that stick desu.
Can't you get a used madcatz cheap stick and just use that to mod?

The buttons and the stick are gonna be worn but the PCB is most likely fine.

>>168297929
There's not a lot of info on this one, it's still pretty new, all I can find is its way better than the older models, easily moddable, and cheap. So no idea what the input lag is on this one specifically. It was either this or a Qanba Carbon which looks exactly the same just slightly smaller.

>>168298013
I looked through ebay and it was mostly junk and broken sticks under $100. A few TvC sticks but they would cost the same in the end. I'm replacing the buttons because they look like they might wear fast. The stick I'm not worried about right now since I won't use this often, it looks usable from the videos I've seen.

>>168298003
I often forget Harada is Japanese.

well he has a chance

just message doug on steam

>>168298319
Its kinda funny that he talks about the game being built around online play, but Tekken framedata hasnt changed much since the games went online.

Series is just fortunate enough to have slow normals and huge buffers like that from the start.

Would be more useful if he listed more techniques.

>>168298319
What a retarded mongrel. Get the japs off everything that isn't drawing underaged tits already.

few games of sfv u.s. westcoast anyone?

https://www.generosity.com/medical-fundraising/hospitalized-for-coughing-up-bloodIs the FGC just scamming everyone they can or does america not have healthcare?

>>168298192
I thought it was the generic mayflash one that cost about 30. The f300 price is higher so not overpriced my bad.

I guess the PCB being compatible with all systems is nice. Check if it has problems in Shoryuken forums just in case and go for it i'd say.

As long as it modable and the pcb is not a piece of shit you'll be fine.

>>168298778
That's all the FGC does

Every online gief is literally the biggest shitter I've ever seen. It's incredible.

>>168298778
>does america not have healthcare?

Best story I've heared about this topic was a woodworker, who had sawn of two of his fingers. And bc he had no money, he was only one getting reattached.

>>168298778
>he actuallybelieved those thousands would go to charity

>>168299114
Thats tradition.

>>168298778
>or does america not have healthcare?
D3v doesn't live in America. If you read the story, he says that his health care covered most but not all of it. This is to cover the remaining debt after what his health care won't cover.

remember when that literally who in the fgc died and they raised money for his funeral but they just kept most of the money`

>>168299245
But he got a fucking job? Why does he need to beg for money?

>>168299320
This happened like 3 times now.

>>168299414
Because 2 grand is a lot of fucking money and it would suck for anyone to have to drop because they got sick one time.

>Make about $3,200 a month
>Can afford to get sick 1 time per month
heh, useless neets get on my fucking level
