It would be funny. And she can be a dream for customization fans considering how many Sabers exists.
If Tekken 7 and both NRS games MKX and Injustice2 told us how this sells to casuals and normalfags, it'll certainly have more. But let's just have well known characters from the franchise first like Taki, Talim, Astharoth, Raphael,Yoshi and more first please. The DOA5 style of "put everyone first and then we can have guests" is a better model.

Maybe there will be a Ciri set for CaC. Honestly, I think that's the route they should take - sets from the guest character's series. In this case, Ciri, a couple of Witcher School sets, Wild Hunt armors, Roche and Regis. Kinda tricky to boil it down to a few, the series have some pretty good fashions.
>>14502152
>But let's just have well known characters from the franchise first like Taki, Talim, Astaroth, Raphael,Yoshi and more first please
Definitely. I'd just swap Talim with Voldo for optimal prioritizing though. And add Cervantes. Those are pretty much the ones I want to see confirmed.

He's a great artist but on what he does but I dunno if he could helm the whole thing. One of the best cheesecake artists but we don't know much of his work as a designer and a artist for this needs to be an expert on both cute grills and gentlemen of significant proportions which I think Kawano is pretty good. Would kill to see some pin ups of the SC girls by Oda though.
But I dunno why you brought up him, my Führer. None of those pieces are by Oda.
Now this reminds of that Chronicles of the Sword save I have in SCIII where I had a whole party of Queen's Blade characters. The miko was the only passable one. Fun times.

If there will be another character, it might something to pander to the Japanese audience, like how Geralt was added to pander to Westerners. 2B does fit that bill.
I just hope it's something with a design that fits the style of SC6 and I don't just mean the costume. Geralt looks like he was imported directly from Witcher 3 and the Yoshizaki Mine guest character in SC4 was put into the game while keeping his art style (I'd argue the same went for Necrid). Basically - these fuckers don't bother adapting the characters to the art style so I hope it's nothing that sticks out like a very sore thumb like a Granblue Fantasy character or something.

That said and provided I end up getting the game, I might try making a Amazon inspired character with Astaroth's move set.

That they do mostly because they reproduce the art style very faithfully. And that's the thing, Amazon in SC6 would either have a toned down figure to fit with the rest of the characters or go in as is and would look horrifically out of place with a washed palette to boot.
She'd be perfect for my idea of how SC should be though. I said it in a previous thread, for me the ideal style for SC would be very stylized anatomy and simple costumes done in cell-shaded cartoon-eque graphics.
I'm still salty DC Pro doesn't have new content. I'll admit - I'll goy the second they announce some meaty DLC for it.

I think a good artist can reproduce Amazon to SC 6 art style and keep her archetype faithful.
I mean, versions are not a problem, but artists who do not understand the character is. And, to be honest, Bamco artists are far from the worse in the market. And they managed to convert designs like Oh! Great's Ashelotte.
It is not going to happen, we know that, but I think it could work very well.
And yeah, she did had a Krizalid vibe. Maybe they will make her a female clone of him, since it is clear that new NESTS still appear in the story.

What I'm surprised about is the inclusion of a second Umihara Kawase rep; it makes me wonder about the rest of the roster and who it will or won't have (I'm worried it won't have Quote, or iw will have an emphasis on random side characters).

1st and 2nd place? Yeah, the skill gap is too high. We recently had Channel on second place with his Eliza. In the top 8 there is variety (Akuma, Paul, Alisa, etc), I'm pretty sure a Chloe got into that group recently.
Qudans is more of a normalfag and can't always join, he is also on the top 3 best players. The issue is the absence of a true competitive scene outside of Korea and Japan, even US scene isn't what it was, Europe fell off the map. Good players are forged on tournaments, online isn't the same.

I thought the Tekken scene was optimistic because a lot of US players bubbled at Strongstryle 6 despite only having half a year with the game. ELeague was full of (what looked like) good Tekken, too, although I suppose that's less interesting due to the nature of the event.

GGXrd is mine. It's a great place to begin if you're willing to jump in the deep end. UNIEL is also good because it's pretty simple and emphasizes fundamentals; Melty Blood is similar but it's kinda janky and the balance leaves something to be desired.
Older SF games like 3S and Alpha 2/3 (provided you ignore the broken characters, and custom combos) are also good. Darkstalkers is also simple, but it's fucking fast and a bit of an acquired taste. Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R is deeper than Xrd, but lacks the tutorials and has a much smaller community.

My main one is KOF'98 but I've been playing KOFXIV and DBFZ too as besides being fun, they have an active scene in my region with locals and tournaments.
XIV is the most beginner friendly with its inputs and system and it's the most similar to '98 in "feel" ever since… 98UMFE. But what I like about '98 is how good the buttons of the characters feels, that it's more of a "system based" game so if you learn the system, you're already set to play with many characters and is not a "combo heavy game". Short combos that deals high damage, nice cast that grabs the late 90's style when the game was released .
>>14510639
It should be noted that Blazblue is "an iteractive series" and its latest and most played one is Central Fiction. Blazblue Cross Tag Battle is a spin off being a tag game with 2 characters on each team with a very different system.

For the 3rdStrike and Alphas, I would recommend to not fall for the memes like parries and custom combos. This is more advanced stuff and you should learn to learn the basic gameplay before diving in these mechanics.

I'm going to sound like a faggot here but in regards to Tekken everything is just so tight and easy to pick up but hard to master also MUH LIMB BASED INPUTS. SoulCalibur on the other hand, I got into because of the story to a degree and then got really into the gameplay side of things, once again like Tekken it's real easy to get into and really hard to master unless you're playing SoulCalibur V which just turns into a fucking spamfest mechanics wise. I'd say just give them a try because odds are you'll find a character you like and can build a foundation on learning the mechanics of each game.

Personal taste. I like the way CPE plays over CF but CF is the newest in the series and as such has the largest audience. I normally play with AI thanks to my location so player count isn't a big deal to me.
And as >>14510710 said it's a series so if you care about the story you'll at least need to play CSE, CPE and CF to get it. Also if you choose to get into the story, good luck with that…

While you might like "deep end", I really think that you should learn the basic stuff first. The most common mistake a beginner usually do from what I saw with the income from DBFZ is learning combos and setups from videos but not learning HOW to land those or the situations that is most favorable to to it so they get rekt by someone who only knows simple stuff but also to shut down the opponent.
>what is the direct appeal [to 3D fightans] compared to other fighters
Well, it is in a 3D space so movement is quite different thant the 2D ones and interactions with the stage like wall bounce, stage transition and ring outs adds to layer of depth while it's not exclusive to the 3D subgenre since games like Injustice and older like older Fatal Fury games have those stuff.
I myself am more of a Virtua Fighter and DOA guy but love SoulCalibur for its lore. Gameplay it changed a lot from being a "Virtua Fighter with swords and parry" with freedom of movement in the first few games to be more 2D-ish with meter management, how 8-way run works and other stuff that is present in SCV and also in the new SCVI.

Both Tekken and SC have more males than females, so, it is not an excess. Hell, while DoA already have plenty of ladies, they decided to add Sarah, Pai, Mai and Ii.
I also said they add the girls on SC4, but none stayed.
Thinking about it, if there is one character with zero chances that could be great, because of the design and instances.

On the plus side it does still have vanilla 98, along with the color edit modes, arrange soundtrack, and 3D backgrounds that got removed from the release of 98UMFE.

Well, you should've told the real name of the game before then. I can't follow everything and at least the Pokkénfag told specific news about his game.
Wasn't Valkyrie the 3P costume for Cassandra in II? And to me KOS-MOS is the same as those girls in IV since none have a proper style and are just "premium skins" and to unlock the KOS-MOS parts you needed to "max lvl" each CaS style I think so I always considered her an alternative Edge Master but to the CaS styles.

The Steam version is a straight arcade port so CodeMystics simply didn't add the console stuff. Not that "it was removed". Also the 3D backgrounds had slowdonws on hte PS2 but you can just turn them off.
>OP Extra mode and insane Wolfgang Krauser
While Krauser is not broken anymore, Extra in UMFE is still broken and on top of it Eiji exists so a Step Eiji can walk faster than 1/3 of the cast can run. And that's not mentioning his anti air.
Since it's an emulated port, it'll probably have input delay like the XI port on the PS3 so if you want to play vanilla '98 I would recommend the ACA port even with the censored opening. But if you like the additions to the game go for it.
How I wish 98UMFE had actual lobbies. Does anybody knows how the '97 Global Match will work? If it's CodeMystics again I have no hope for it.
>>14516089
Well, I think only Freeza can be called as "true zoner" in DBFZ. I don't think anyone is like Magneto in that game but they could have done something to Tenshinhan like 8-way air dash since he was the first character to show he could fly in the series.

Red fireballs knockdown on hit. Or at least they used to. Maybe they changed it in Ultra, but the difference was knockback fore blue or knockdown for red back in Super.

I'm really considering getting a fighting game anons, but I'm not very good. I've been looking at injustice 2, is it any good? It looks fun but I've heard it does not have a big playerbase so it might be rough trying to get into PvP and also capeshit, which I'm not a huge fan of but I don't particularly hate either. Is it worth shilling out the cash for the ultimate version?
Also are there any games anons recommend to get/wait for? What series have the best fighting mechanics in your opinion?

Do you like 2D or 3D graphics?
Do you like 2D or 3D gameplay?
Do you like anime or do you want something other than weebshit?
If you want to get started somewhere, anywhere, then find a version of Street Fighter 2 (Turbo and up) and play that to get a feel. For better or worse, it defined the genre and games are still building on its fundamentals to this day.

If you're not into capeshit, there isn't much reason to get into Injustice 2. NRS games are their own weird little niche that play unlike the vast majority of other 2D fighters and tend to be worse in terms of utilizing and teaching fundamentals you would need if you wanted to get into Capcom's, SNK's, or Arcsys' games. I'd consider Injustice 2 to be a fun game to play still, but it certainly isn't where I'd recommend starting.

It's a decent value but all of those are older games that aren't played anymore, so the main appeal would be playing through the stories to play the one you get a coupon for.
If you're just looking to get into fighting games try playing games that catch your eye on Fightcade, it's essentially free and you have near all of fighting game history up until the late 90s-early 2000s to try out.

Not really. Frankly it really depends on your playstyle. Injustice can be a blast, but it is not a game that can make you attracted to it easily, mostly because, yest, it is ugly as fuck.
But when you start to understand the mechanics some characters have, the game have a pretty good amount of depth to play with.
NetherRealm deserves all the the shit they receive for their models and animations, but they have been pretty good with the gameplay in general.
Of course, as in every fighting game, not all characters are created equal, and some can be more abused than others.
But, frankly, why ask people to play only the newest games? I mean, we know some games on each franchise are very unique on their own.
Hell, we could even recommend some arcade exclusives too, why the hell not, with the nesicaxlive emulator, and all, there are some very unique titles to play with.
And talking about unique titles, does anyone remember the name of that PS3 fighter that looked like and RPG, with elves and all, you could chose two character to play with, and it had items too. I think it is available on Japanese PSN, but I can't remember the name.
By the way, if people know of specific fighting games that were never ported but might deserve a chance, I think we could make some lists for people to dive into.
For games with interesting mechanics. I would go with:
>LASTFIGHT
>Slap Happy Rhythm Busters
>Punch Planet ( when it is out of EA)
>Persona 4 Arena Ultimax ( Not a fan of persona, but things can get pretty interesting in that game.)
>DOA 5 LR (The parry system in that game/series is much superior to the one in SFIII IMO)
>Psychic Force 2 ( More characters, and the idea to trade health for Power Is one that I wish more games did.)
>Bloody Roar Extreme
>Killer Instinct can be fun, but wait to get it cheap
>Blazblue Centralfiction, soon it will be cheap, and it is probably the best 2D game on steam
>MK 9, still the best MK.
>Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Great roster, plenty of features, and since you can play it on Xbox One too, it still have some people online.
>VF5 Final Showdown, if you have a PS4, you should wait Yakuza 6. If you have a XBONE, it is already available.

>implying age correlates with quality
If you want a modern game with tutorials, then Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 and UNIEL are the standouts.
If not, then old Street Fighter, like 3S (parrying is a bit of a meme) and Alpha (without custom combos) and maybe Darkstalkers/Vampire Saviour. People still play those games in Japan for a reason, and they're very fundamental. UNIEL is probably the best SF-esque game on the market right now, but it has a small playerbase due to the weeb designs. Dragon Ball FighterZ is everywhere now so you'll never want for people to play with, but it's a Bamco game so that means it has Denuvo and thus should not be purchased. There is also a season pass for it, which sucks.
Them's Fightin' Herds is good, but I wouldn't buy it until it's out of Early Access and feature complete.
If you want a 3D game, then Soulcalibur 2 emulates very well on Dolphin, and it's essentially all fundamentals. Tekken 7 is both popular and a good Tekken game, but it has Denuvo so you shouldn't buy it.

>it depends on playstyle
My playstyle is that I dislike games where moving feels like wading through mud and none of the combos or strings seem to have any rhyme or reason to them. I've played Injustice 2 for about an hour, and even when I used Aquaman and just threw drills and tridents at people, I wasn't enjoying myself because the game never felt like it wanted me to do anything cool.
>that PS3 fighter that looked like and RPG, with elves and all

If you're new to the genre and liked the designs, I say go for it. In the old days at the arcades many liked the games for its characters and speculated a lot about the lore of Street Fighter, Fatal Fury, KOF and Mortal Kombat. Blazblue games have tons of content. Central Fiction is the "current" and most played version but I don't know how many will jump the ship to BBTAG since its system and DLC practices are so different.
>>14520797
If you don't enjoy capeshit there's not much reason to like the game unless you really like the NRS games gameplay style. You can still pirate/buy MKX to see if you do.
For both, in a general way, look at the designs of the characters and for gameplay videos and see if you will like it to play. For example, hitting a lot of buttons to perform a flashy combo ending up in a huge explosion like in Dragon Ball or in its case you can do a less damage autocombo if you want or doing a simple and precise slash dealing huge damage in Samurai Shodown.
Also if graphics matter or more specifically, if oldschool sprites bothers you or not. For free available stuff on Fightcade, I say:
>Garou: Mark of the Wolves
>Karnov Revenge
>The King of Fighters '98
>The King of Fighters 2002
>The Last Blade 2
>Real Bout Fatal Fury 2
>Samurai Shodown II
>Samurai Shodown V Special
>Street Fighter Alpha 2
>Street Fighter Alpha 3
>Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike
>Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo
>Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (Fightcade 2 only)
As for paid stuff, like others said, Dragon Ball FighterZ is probably the easiest to get into without "compromising" inputs like Fantasy Strike or Pocket Rumble. UNIEL, Guilty Gear Xrd, Blazblue and Skullgirls have good to great tutorials. KOFXIV is the easiest KOF to get into. Injustice2 and MKXL are on their own style just like 3D games like DOA5LR and VF5FS.

UNIEL is a very neutral-heavy game with fullscreen normals and a lot of emphasis on fundamental offence like tick throws and frame traps; there is also a "taking turns" mechanic built into the game that emphasizes both good defence and good pressure. There are plenty of aggro characters with big damage if that's what you like, though.
Guilty Gear is a legacy series with a lot of busted shit by the end of the final iteration, XX Accent Core + R, and Xrd is the new iteration compared to the decade-old XX series. It has a lot of old school anime mechanics (push to tech, 0f throws, spending meter to air block, character-specific facedown and faceup wakeup timings, etc.) and some truly degenerate offence, but the volume of system mechanics and the checks & balances applied to damage/hitstun scaling keep most of it in check. The characters are all wildly different from one another, without the "character mechanic" button you find in BlazBlue and some other contemporary games.
BlazBlue was made by ArcSys at a time when they were confronted with the possibility of losing their ability to develop GG due to copyright jewry, so many characters in it are watered down versions of GG characters, and the same is true of several system mechanics like BB's Barrier compared to GG's Faultless Defence. The series has its own niche, but even as a youngfag who started with Xrd, BB seems to be a weird combination of baffling, combo-heavy gameplay AND dishonest neutral, which rubs me the wrong way.
Ultimately, you should experiment with your friends you have friends, right? and find the game you like the most, because as much as information helps you make decisions, it can also give you unwarranted negative opinions of games you otherwise wouldn't play. Case in point, I always thought Marvel vs Capcom 2 was a degenerate mess of combos and other horseshit, but it's perfectly playable at a casual level. If you want to get some games on sale and try out BB, go right ahead.

SNK games have "push to tech" and 0/1 frame throws ever since the early 90's. Just saying.
And while the characters in Guilty Gear might try to have each one different enough from the other, the system in Xrd like PRC, Danger Time and somewhat YRC making me remind of safe-ish situations FADC did in SFIV that comes to me as "disonest neutral" too. Even highly arguable mechanics in Blazblue like Exceed Accel and Active Flow don't bother me as much as those in Xrd. Also I particularly like Blazblue designs and "character gameplay" more than Guilty Gear I think I only found May and Jam fun? Maybe I-no and Axl but that's it.. Worldbuilding and "theme" too.
>>14512290
And just I hate Danger Time, I don't like randomness or characters that have to rely on luck as a mechanic. And I say as someone who likes Chang in KOF. It might be fun to mess around with friends but that kind of stuff puts the game or match at the same tier as a party game.

(Gameplay starts at 14:30)
Yeah, the GRD tug-of-war at the bottom gives one player a 10% damage boost and a character-specific buff every 17 seconds. Both games have great tutorials, so you're set either way. There's something to be said for jumping in the deep end, but UNIEL is tonnes of fun.
>>14522103
"Old school mechanics," then, pardon me.
I get what you mean about YRCs/PRCs, although in my experience they tend to lead to winning neutral rather than the BB flowchart of unreactable mixup > full conversion > favourable knockdown, which feels more dishonest to me. Maybe my reactions are just too bad. It's stupid, but it's a reactable, known quantity of stupid.
BB character designs make me want to vomit, so there's that, too. No accounting for taste, eh?

If that's all that GRD did, people would just ignore the system. The important part is that it also gives you access to a mechanic called Chain Shift. Activating it consumes your vorpal state (removing the 10% damage bonus and character-specific buff), but does the following:
a) Freezes time for both characters for about a second, so you (and your opponent) can assess the situation and take your best possible action. As it is also invincible on its 1f of startup and has no recovery, you can mash it on defense, while in blockstun, and punish any attempt to frametrap with Chain Shift into your reversal of choice. So, in pressure, the attacker has to play very respectfully against a defender in vorpal state.
b) Can be used to cancel most things in the game (exceptions being DPs on block and recovery frames of most moves on whiff and such). There's no other RCs in the game, so this is a very powerful option that, for most characters, can get you in for free, allow a strong conversion off their otherwise unconvertable neutral tools, reset pressure at massive plus frames or all of the above.
c) Gives you meter depending on how many blocks there are in your GRD gauge, at a rate of 20% per block normally, but at a far lower rate if your opponent is in hit- or blockstun. The refill isn't instant, but takes a short time.
Also, you can spend your vorpal state for a free guard cancel instead, but that's not really an option you have to remember unless your character has really shitty reversals. The newest version also added something called Cross Cast Veil Off, which uses Vorpal and all of your available meter (must be 100%+) and essentially just allows your character to extend a combo into a lot of extra damage.

Injustice 2 updates to Legendary Edition this thursday. It adds new epic gear sets (which are kinda cool), raises the character level cap to 30 (which is as retarded as having levels in the first place) and resets everyone's regen tokens. So it kinda looks like the people who didn't buy that edition are getting shafted by NRS, having their progress lose meaning and are forced to grind some more for certain events.
It kinda seems like shooting yourself in the foot.

Dishonest neutral refers to a character's ability to win neutral and have the opportunity to apply pressure without needing to work for it or acknowledge the other player. I'm not a BB expert, but a guy in my local scene plays Izayoi (the chick with the triangles), and once she powers up, she can throw fireballs and do a raw 50/50 left/right teleport while you're in blockstun, which is dishonest.
Naturally, she needs to work for it, but it's pretty easy for her to reach her powered-up state, at least from my experience, and at that point you need to do a lot of work to make the game 2-player instead of 1-player.
Of course, Xrd has its own problems with YRCs since they literally eat your opponents' inputs and many of the top tier characters (Ky, Raven, Chipp, Johnny) abuse the shit out of them both to win neutral with the push of a button and apply unseeable mixups. I've gotten used to them, but I wouldn't miss them in the next iteration of GG.
The reason stuff like that irks me in BB is the combos tend to be long, and the game is old enough everyone does the optimal combos, so you get hit by something you can't reasonably predict or react to, then sit in your chair for 10 seconds as the other player does the optimal combo. If the combos were shorter like Darkstalkers, then I wouldn't be bothered so much.
As I said before, however, you should play what you like, since a new player likely won't discover the busted shit and he won't be able to abuse it even if he does research it.

There was a thread or two for it at launch, and the general reception seemed to be positive from the people who were new to FGs and experienced. The roster is small, but each character has tonnes of special moves and the devs have at least one in the pipe due to a stretch goal, and I think story mode will remind people the game exists; if they're taking this long to make it, then I hope it will be good.

Linear most of the time, but you have to watch out for f,f+2 and 1+2. You can just sidestep f+2 spamming retards and launch them tho
Very unsafe, just learn how to punish
Very weak at close range, only panic button he has is that parry and it can't parry shit like knees and I'm not sure but you should be able to bait it and punish it

If it were Capcom, everyone would be foaming. I don't think execution should be a barrier but I'm against simple commands. Basically, try to keep it within the realm of QCF/QCB/DP/HCF/HCB/360º etc and avoid Raging Storms and Summon Sufferings.
Also getting the feeling that Leona without charges will be OP as fuck.
They're gonna reveal the next character at PAX, April 6 IIRC.

There's not really a consensus on every terminology. Specially between communities with KOF and Street Fighter using "qcf" and others for movement, anime with numerical notations but NRS games and Tekken uses numbers for its button inputs like punches and kicks. But for most of it you can use >>14530184 or just ask here.
But for what you asked, "wake up" means and action you do as you rise from a knockdown state be it a normal or a hard knockdown. You can buffer an action while in that state so you do said action as soon as your character can do. "(hold)" that you'll usually see around as [b] or [4] means you have to hold that direction for a certain amount of frames. In Street Fighter is usually 60 frames(1 second) and in KOF or anime games is usually 30 frames but in oldschool games it can vary a lot in some cases even for like 4 seconds. In case of buttons like Balrog from Street Fighter and Raiden from KOF/Fatal Fury it means you hold said button to delay your move and maybe even get bigger damage output

You got it. ID 9c5667 still assumes used switch games will have lower prices than new for a game coming this very Summer for a recent generation console more popular than the competition, in time to play with his friends. It's like the PC or PS4 hacked version won't release sooner, nvm DLC, because his theoretical extended edition needs at the least a full year of depreciation to even be considered. So at the least, he's asking 5ecdb0 to wait until 2019-06 to find worth it playing with his friends post a year of hype.
Considerate indeed!

If I recall correctly that's because those brands have different niches with Sanwa specializing in fighting games and Seimitsu in shmups. If you look at the specs of the sticks it makes sense with the sanwa JLF having much larger dead-zone to add leniency when you try to execute complex fighting game commands while the Seimitsu flag-ship (which I believe is the LS-32) tries to accomodate for the twitch-movement that's demanded by shmups for example.
