>>16718741

Sony buying out Capcom America would be pretty nice.

Webm with the nigg is from 2015, Marvel 3 medals interrupted when he jumped from his banana tree to challenge Chris Gay to a money match in the middle of the stage.

>>16719678

It's from 2017, when Marvel 3 won the donation drive to be a main game. Funnily enough, I think we still have no idea who that guy was or how he got onto the main stage.

>>16720140

Wonder what the hell he was thinking. "Oh man I'm gonna be so badass like in CVS2 where Akuma shows up as the true last boss to thunder and rain." And then he gets busted by the literal Capcops.

dataminers has found that S2 DLC character is Momiji and S3 DLC character is Rachel.

Yes, it's out, and for what it's worth, it accomplishes its goal of being very easy to pick up and play. But it's just so dry and flavorless. The animations and visuals are just so bland and it feels like you reach the skill ceiling very quickly.

I played it when it was in early access. If you just wanna mash buttons with your casualfag friends then by all means pick it up, but if you're used to more stylized fighters like Samsho or Marvel then this is going to feel very dry in comparison and you're probably not gonna stick with it long.

Having gone up to phonon in the story mode, there was only 3 parts that didn't bore me to death.

>chaos

I pretty sure this one stood out only because it was the first one that I didn't want to just skip through all the dialogue. I'm sure if I read it again it wouldn't be that good.

>gordeau

The only decent one of the stories that I've read so far. This is the chapter where you find out orge dies. Also, the character Roger turns into a void, so this explains what he is doing in his arcade mode.

>phonon

This one is only enjoyable because she is a massive chuuni and it's fun to watch her squirm.

>>16721071

Same. Rachel is my favorite but DOA6 is trash. I hope they will not ruin her like Nyotengu.

Is the story mode of Unist Latest different from the original one?

>>16721732

100% sure for Londreika Light and Kaguya.

If Kaguya doesn't get special banter for vs Akatsuki referencing Anonym I'll be very disappointed

>>16721821

It's an ancient meme that some niche anime games get the lowest possible room, e.g. In a dumpster, out in a parking lot, in a bathroom stall, etc, Melty Blood being the most recognizable of these.

>>16721821

The picture in the OP is something posted by a guy who had the EVO thread open 24/7 last year and was watching a bunch of games. I think he had eight windows open at once across two monitors.

>>16721923

The characters have progressed and events changed, if that's what you mean. I am unsure if the previous games had a Chronicle/VN mode or if all the stories were told through arcade mode.

>>16721732

I'm going to be real fucking mad if Kaguya doesn't get in.

2016 to be correct

https://nerdreactor.com/2016/07/18/random-guy-walks-on-stage-to-challenge-evo-champion-just-moments-after-winning/

I'm going to Evo this year after skipping last year due to funds issues. After I inevitably go 0-2 in pools I'm probably going to be going around taking pictures and shit between maybe buying a stick and some other crap. Probably also gonna record some matches from the crowd during finals because it sucks that they haven't had the crowd mic'd up for a while and it seems like no one is hype.

What should I try and get some pictures of? Embarrassing shots of smashkids? Cosplay thots? Footage of whatever weird new shit they'll have set up for the public? Qt girlfriends of the Japanese players?

Unrelated note, vid related looks absolute ridiculous and I think is the last push to get hitboxes banned after that shit with Daigo's hitbox. Main reason I'm thinking of picking up a stick at Evo, I have a regular no modifications hitbox and I'm pretty sure I'm about to become a leper with this thing and unable to play in anything officially after the suspected hitbox shoah.

has anyone tried retroarch's netplay for fighting games?

it seems like they have naomi & atomiswave support now.

>>16723645

tbh, everything that looks cheap on that you can already do on a regular hitbox and on a pad if you play claw style you can already do ezmode hayashida step using dpad & stick on an unmodified ds4. i doubt this will have much of an impact competitively; execution is important but it's also the aspect of fightan skill that gets hit fastest by diminishing returns.

>>16723645

Try to caught as much cringe as possible but don't forget the thots

>>16723645

The word is "whore," you stupid fucking niggers.

I don't know why an analogue box that allows you literally the same kind of inputs as a DS4 would ever be banned.

Let's get away from the cuckchan shitposting and actually discuss fighting games. Someone made a proof-of-concept 2D fighter with rollback netcode and posted the source code to GitHub so people can actually see how it works.

I'm not very technical when it comes to this stuff, but it seemed like a neat idea. Does anyone aside from ESL autist have some insight?

how is DOA6 story mode? is it good like the old ones? or trash like 5.

Whatever happened to the anon who was trying to make a standalone SFV arcade cabinet with all the DLC and characters? Now that the game is obviously at the end of its life, I've considered playing it just for kicks, and if there are stable, up-to-date non-DRM versions, then that'd be icing on the cake.

Seeding like that makes sense, at least from a promoter/ event manager's position, they want to have top players not fight each other in pools since having big names eliminate one another early is bad for viewership, and double elimination gives unknown/ unproven players a chance to come back if they lose to a top player early.

Having it set so that distribution is totally random can screw over unknowns more in that if two top players play one another in your pool, there's a chance you'll run into one in winners and losers so it's easy to get screwed over, 3 or more top players in a pool means at least one of them is gonna get eliminated and there are a few top 16- level matches that got buried in pools that no one's gonna watch which makes the organizers kvetch.

Not specifically fighting games but I recall Armored Core did something like this.

>>16735875

>They're called beat em ups.

I'm actually looking for a very specific thing which is pairing grid based tactical movement with fighting games. I've seen some interesting hybrid beat-em-ups like Aztez that combine the two and there are a couple of fighting games that have single player modes that play with this idea of moving your character(s) around a board before initiating battle.

Not unlike how Megaman Battlenetwork's 5th iteration I think also created a tRPG framework for it's card game/real time battle system. If there are any beat-em-ups that also do this I'm all ears.

>>16736321

I think I own a copy of one of the Armored Cores so once I'm finished with Shaman King I'll give it a look.

>>16736126

> at least from a promoter/ event manager's position,

It makes sense in the way you describe, but ultimately fiddling with the brackets in any way just feels like a spit in the face of fairness and we know for a good number of games that this has led to completely rigged brackets. Just keep the brackets 100% random and don't stress it when the heavyweights wind up being in winners and losers instead of being in winners because of intentional seeding. Or maybe just keeping it random will make it so that the same people aren't always making into the top 32/16/8/4. I remember Melee has this problem but I don't know if it's just because of brackets.

>>16735933

>>16736555

>rigged

>fiddling with the brackets

So you've never organized a tournament before.

In any tournament, there will be good players and bad players. It is only natural for the good players to do better than the bad players. Thus, it would be unfair for two good players to play each other round 1 and for two bad players to play each other round 1, and have one of the good players sent to losers/eliminated, even though he's better than both of the bad players. The embedded video explains it pretty well.

>b-b-b-but you're assuming the good players are good! who knows if the bad players will upset them?!

And you're assuming the bad players are, in fact, not bad players, which kind of defeats the point. There is definitely cronyism in the FGC, and there are definitely players who don't deserve to be pampered as much as they are, but I still think it's preferable to the alternative where the hard work and previous success of each player (not just pros, even hidden bosses like you can find at any local) mean nothing because the seeding would be completely random. Bracket seeding in large tournaments is mostly structured to separate the wheat from the chaff in the earlier rounds.

>>16737345

>>Has never hosted single elimination bracket where the TO refloshes the bracket to pit players best suited for the correct outcome

That's a round robin bracket except way fucking dumber because you don't have the consistency of a round robin bracket.

>>Some Paki won a tournament over a BO because totally not a rigged tourney from the start.

<Im-FUCKING-plying Mark would have won against anyone who has played SF for more than 20 minutes

>Cry me over dead river.

Hi, ESL autist. We didn't miss you.

Speaking of tournaments, though, did anything come of that guy who asked about hosting/running one a few weeks ago? I recall we agreed on one or two SF titles as possible games.

>>16737215

Well done, you're fucking retarded. By not rigging the brackets like you promote, you're NOT making any assumptions about a player's ability. Their past accomplishments should only matter in invitationals and series events. Making an open tournament and then telling anybody without notoriety that they won't get the same special treatment as the capcom cum guzzler is crooked and invalidates the tournament.

>>16737430

>players who are consistently good aren't

Serious question: do you think it's fair for a bad player to win a tournament because all his most difficult opponents eliminated one another? It's "fair" in the sense that it could be the result of a truly flat, random bracket, but it doesn't reflect the skill of the players who entered.

>anybody without notoriety

You mean players who are good but who mysteriously don't win tournaments? Look, I would hate to give you the impression that tournament play is the only way to gauge a player's skill, but what you're effectively saying is

>but what if someone you think is bad is actually good?

which isn't a problem, because if he's good enough to upset a top player, then he'll get his chance early in the bracket.

>capcom cum guzzler

You're literally not reading what I'm typing. I'm not defending the cronyism that many esports players benefit from, I'm defending the right of a TO to structure a bracket such that players are more likely to receive results that reflect their skill level relative to all other players.

>>16737450

>Do you think it's fair for somebody who I think it's bad because it's not a celebrity who's dick I love to suck?

Of course it's fair, he won meaning he beat the people who beat the celebrities you jack off to. This alone means the rest of your post is invalid. Not worth reading.

>>16737528

If it's fully randomized your example picture is a fucking anomaly the likes of which actually happening are so slim it would be retarded to structure around it's possibility. And even if it were to occur, the solution to that isn't to rig the tournament. It's for the TOs to realize 'hey, everyone in this half of the bracket have placed top 8 in tournaments in the last three years, let's run it through the randomizer again.'

And like you said, all of this shit is run on double elimination which mitigates the problem of your statistical unlikely scenario even further.

>>16735612

Because they don't want mean comments. "u suck lol" hurts their feelings

>What kind of question is this? Who are you and where do you come from?

Just a regular anon looking for entertainment.

>>16737215

>So you've never organized a tournament before

no but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that there isn't any one perfect method of running a tournament, but people getting bent out of shape because two big names fought it out in pools is not a big deal.

>And you're assuming the bad players are, in fact, not bad players

What defines "bad" is completely relative here. If you have a situation like capcom cup, the person who gets 16th place is "bad" but already categorized as being better than several thousands of ranked players. Or you can go to locals and the "bad" player just picked up the game. You're assumption is that you get to decide who is "good" and "bad" and then seed them in a way that should favor the "good" players more in the long run which can be seen as a problem.

>Video

It raises some good points about using good seeding to avoid sending players who came a long way home with nothing but it also makes some major assumptions about the problems with completely random seeding. First they only use a top-4 situation which assumes such a small sample size that it really is an unbelievable scenario. I also get wanting accurately reflect skill but we're already making consessions with regards to how pools are formatted, and it's unlikely in a general tournament setting that someone completely horrible will somehow survive the top 16 in such a favorable position that they will get 2nd or 3rd place without legitimate skill.

And finally, collusion happens whether it to benefit players who are worse than the best, or for players at the top. So the Evil Bob argument works both way, Evil Bob could also have been asked by a better player to put his closest rival in a harder bracket to increase the chances he drops out. And we also know top players can and have just agreed to split the pot between them so that's another form of rigging.

Your sample bracket of a larger tournament >>16737528 is quite frankly impossible to achieve unless you actually seeded things this way. The odds of 16 players being split down the middle like this are probably astronomical.

I completely understand the mindset behind seeding in some cases, but now I just have to stipulate that for an Open format, seeding should be more randomized simply because anyone can show up so you shouldn't start trying to favor the more known or skilled players with advantageous seeding. Whether double or single elimination there's still going to be unfairness in matchups and the amount of effort people have to put in to advance. And the good players are going to meet each other anyways since they are better than the rest. Why skew it further? if you are hosting an invitational much stricter seeding seems more fair since you're already limiting entrants based on an established metric.

>>16737231

>Melee is an extreme example of what you're describing due to the insane amounts of muscle memory required to be proficient at it.

I see

>>16737246

> they were called Liberation Missions.

It was an idea I wish the series had kept up with but Part 6 dropped it and then the entire franchise died and got replaced with Star Force. Felt good to actually have a team instead of just having one in cutscenes.

>>16734982

I have this running but am I retarded or are there no inputs yet? not a single key on my keyboard moves a character and I know it works because pressing the F keys at least brings up the debug info and hitboxes

>>16737528

>Can't argue against my point

>Simply says I rejected his reality because he's wrong

E P I C

Also good job on making such a retarded image that it proves the only way you could get a bad bracket is by rigging it. Also double elimination exists for a reason, retard.

I know that it's possible to backup and restore Tekken 7 save games but can you copy them from another Steam account? For the past year or so I only played the game on PS4 but I've become tired of the input delay so I want to go back to the PC version. I don't want to be dick to everyone in ranked though so I'd like to use a different save file to skip past a bunch of ranks. If it's possible to share them, can anyone here give me a save with Lee in red ranks? Orange is fine too.

I don't know if anyone here would have something like that, but you may be able to find a pirated version with everything cleared and copy the savefile.dat from that one. Then again, if memory serves, there's a workaround in the pirated version that allows pirates to play with each other using Steam's servers, and potentially with legit owners as well.

You can play it online with parsec.

>>16745320

Is it unappreciative of me to feel disappointed? I don't buy DLC myself, but I follow some stuff about the game so I was hoping for a bit more. Also, haven't the players been without a meaningful update in many months at this point? Did Capcom really think this would satisfy the player-base after all this time?

Fucking wew with this leak. The whole fucking trailer. Like if it was just the names or even the art, they could still have a "hype" reveal trailer, but this is just funny. Wonder if the other games will be able to keep it in their pants.

>>16749179

>Is the online for SFV even decent?

I don't think so. Everything I've heard from the SFV players in my scene follow one of a few patterns:

>match is unplayably laggy

>match ends after opponent ragequits because he doesn't want to lose virtual points

>match is a clusterfuck because you don't know the matchup, so Menat or G or Urien or Akuma steamroll you with some garbage

The only joy they get is from making new accounts and smurfing low ranks with characters they don't play.

I play it regularly, it's still pretty awful. Even if you set the connection to 4-5 bars only you still get matched up with random mexicans and huefags who lag-a-port all over the place so you can't defend against their shitty Akumas and have to go ham to make sure you don't get fucked.

>>16749916

Check the side tournaments you nigger.

So thanks to the free weekend thing, I was able to try out Arcana Heart 3 and it surprisingly works fine on my old laptop.

I was able to play some player matches, but I never matched up with anyone in ranked.

Is the game usually dead or is it just because of evo?

If it's already slow, I think I'll just wait until the next update comes up to buy it.

>>16751271

It is hard to find matches on AH3 last I checked.

>>16751271

>ranked

>anime game

Choose one. All anime games have smaller communities, so you should get into the game with the understanding that you'll need to lurk discord (I know, it's awful) or an IRC channel to matchmake.

>next version

Why, because you think more people will play it? There'll be a brief surge in popularity followed by normalfags and casuals abandoning the game. If you like it, then you should just get it and not worry about trying to metagame the release date. AH3 is actually a pretty old game, too, so at this point even significant updates wouldn't attract much new blood.

>>16751297

Man, that sucks. I remember on the PS3 AH3 had a slow online player base, but it was there.

I hate not playing on ranked, you get assholes like the guy I played earlier.

He decided to time out weaker opponents instead of killing them quickly.

Fucking asshole made it take longer to get my turn to play.

I'm not sure if the next update is DLC or another game, so I thought it'd be better to wait and see.

>>16751641

I wouldn't mind playing against you if you don't mind. I play AH3LMSS on PC. Though I mainly play Nitroplus Blasterz and Million Arthur.

I just bought Melty Blood on Steam for 5€.

>>16745377

Sauce of the anime in the webm?

damn, i was enjoying that schizo bot. why you gotta close the thread mods

>>16755767

Neat, the color scheme makes it look like a shoebox.

>>16755827

Will ensure a proper Melty Blood experience then.

>>16755736

>I spend cuck dollars to own the inferior paid version of a free game

But why? Seriously, why? The community caster edition is the objective better version, and it's free.

>>16755767

Cool. The awful paint job gives it character.

>>16755767

I dig the American buttons with the Japanese layout. I always liked the buttons but absolutely hated that they were in a straight row. I don't know how anyone uses traditional American style and not get arthritis. Even worse if it's the NeoGeo layout.

>>16755767

thin your paints

>>16756189

Never, it gives it soul.

>>16755952

Because I was not aware, simple as.

I can't believe they actually did it.

Blogpost incoming, skip to last line:

I've decided to play more fighting games since i don't get the excitement from playing other games anymore. At this point, fighting an opponent over and over again and constantly losing, is the most fun i ever had. Each time i get a little better, i lasted longer, won at least a round. My connection is shit, so i won't be able to play against people for a while, so for the time being i want to know:

If there are, which fighting games are still good for single player? either by the way they teach you mechanics or content alone

>>16756958

>BLITZTANK

ACHTUNG

>>16756999

I like Yumi, what's going on with all this hate? Are you enemy of justice or something?

>>16749001

I'm stuck in the tutorial. How the fuck do you do the Infinite Worth EXS, am I supposed to press A+B+C+D all at once or one after the other quickly?

>>16757212

Just bound it on button, if it's hard to you.

>>16756888

>If there are, which fighting games are still good for single player? either by the way they teach you mechanics or content alone

Guilty Gear Xrd has an amazing tutorial.

>>16756888

Try Blazblue. Few single player modes, abyss is really fun.

>>16756958

>Neo and Blitztank get in

Wish they were in a real game, but whatever.

>>16757445

>being happy about anything RWBY related

Guards, escort this fag to the gas chamber.

Found a copy of samurai showdown IV for the ps1. Is this version worth picking up because looking at a Wikipedia it drops a bunch of mechanics from previous games.

>play blazblue tag for the free weekend

>all these auto combos

>all the removed moves

Am I playing it wrong or is it really this shallow? Barely even feels like a real fighting game.

>>16756958

Time to extract Neo, been waiting for this.

>>16757022

Mugen is right the fuck there for you to dab with.

>>16757537

Why, you don't like Monty Oum's OC?

>>16757893

Game is really this shallow, no joke. Same with Blade Strangers, why none are talking about the game that came and went.

Thing is, Arcsys is paying for this shill game, and it's working.

>>16756888

Honestly, you could go to the older MK games like >>16757341 said. The newer games (X and XI) are pozzed to hell and back, but the older games like MK9 and (I think?) UMK3 are solid and full of tonnes of minigames and challenges.

Soul Calibur 2 and 3 have extensive single-player modes that play out more like adventure/strategy games, where each battle is a fight with conditions and modifiers. Those games can be played entirely as single-player adventure games and you'll be happy. I think DoA5 also has a good tutorial (at least it seemed thorough from what I played of it), and its training mode shows you frame data, so that's another option if you want a 3D game. DoA5 also has a proper cinematic story mode intercut with fights, and I personally found it to be fun enough.

For good tutorials, GGXrd and UNIST are the best ones on the market right now; Xrd has some decent story/arcade modes (they're just cutscenes, but they're fun enough) and M.O.M mode, which isn't a proper single player mode but may be to your tastes. UNIST has arcade modes, which are bog standard, and a visual novel mode that is truly one of the worst story modes I've seen in any game, ever. Them's Fightin' Herds is imitating those games' tutorial style, but it's still in early access so I can't honestly recommend purchasing it. On the plus side, it does describe things like hitboxes and frames pretty well and it includes a hitbox viewer because it's built in the Z-Engine, so that may be enough for you.

As >>16757391 mentioned, BlazBlue also has a strong history of single-player content, if you can stand the VN format. I'd get one of the games before Central Fiction (I think Chronophasma Extend was the most recent, but don't quote me), because CF changed the story format to a series of linear battles rather than the choose-your-own-adventure format of previous games. The actual material of the story is complete garbage, but the character interactions are quite strong because the dialogue around each fight will change depending on how you won it (astral finish, didn't drop a round, and maybe one or two other variables). I believe this can unlock certain paths, but I'm not 100% sure.

>>16757807

>IV

I don't think it's as popular as Vsp or II, so I doubt it. Then again, if you can get it for a decent price it's probably worth it just to have for archival purposes.

>>16757893

It's that shallow.

>>16758074

>>16758077

Yeah, I’m real glad I didn’t buy it. I was tempted numerous times, but actually playing it made me realize it’s pretty much everything I hate about current year fighting games.

>create an opening

>connect a small hit

>actual button mashing to get a 50 hit combo and take out half or more of the enemies health

There’s barely any finesse or skill to it. I was in some online matches with people I’m sure had more game time than me yet the matches always felt like a toss up. I had heard newer fighting games were bad but it’s rough to experience it first hand.

>>16758117

>current year fighting games

If you want something more honest, you could try a game with hard combos or intentionally smaller combos. Bullshit is definitely in vogue, but it's not the only way people make games.

>Koihime Enbu RyoRaiRai

>Fighting EX Layer

>UNIST (sort of; the combos are somewhat tough if you want to do longer ones, and mixups almost don't exist)

>SamSho7 (although you can always play one of the older games on fightcade/steam)

>>16758074

>Mugen is right the fuck there for you to dab with.

or instead of playing garbage I can just play the pc version of Akatsuki Blitzkampf

>>16757367

>>16757341

>>16757391

>>16758077

Thanks to all. Soul calibur 3 was one of my favorite, but i think i squeezed everything i could from it, while mortal kombat never got my attention that much, expecially after they started using 3d models, don't know why.

I'll probably download ggxrd since i used to play gulty gear on my psp and really liking it. For now i'm playing garou and blazblue on my vita while i'm out.

>>16758196

Both points are solid. Plus, water down Akatsuki would make you vomit anyways.

>>16758230

>ggxrd

Changed from 2D sprites, chars are bigger and everything is more bulky. It does not feel anything like Accent Core.

I don't like it, I don't feel free, Dust doesn't feel like it used to.

>>16756902

forgot to add THEM'S FIGHTIN' HERDS is 10$ in Humblebundle (8$ for monthly subs) + the game is coming out of early access on October

>>16758077

>I don't think it's as popular as Vsp or II, so I doubt it.

Well it's $15 for a japanese import so I'll watch some footage on jewtube or something and make the call.

>>16758179

Those all look really nice, shame they are all dead. Waiting on Samsho to come out on pc then me and a friend will be getting it so the online life doesn’t matter as much on that one.

>>16759037

Remember when vidya competitions were all about skill? You could be a nazi nigger faggot who talked about how badly you wanted to kill Ugandans and still be allowed at any tournament so long as you were good at the game. You don’t watch for the person, you watch for the fucking skill.

>>16758423

>It does not feel anything like Accent Core

You don't say.

Maybe Steve should get Nina to fight Kazumi for him next time.

>KoF XIV ends with Verse releasing souls of characters who died and reviving them.

Bring back my boy Rugal please.

I also hope the whole XIV roster stays intact and they dont cut anybody. They can just recycle the models and animations for all I care.

Nope they're gonna play by 3s and trickle feed the characters that should be back by now

>They can just recycle the models and animations for all I care

I honestly wish they did but majority people bitched enough about the graphics and roster size that they will cut down the roster and claim they had to focus on the visuals.

New Guilty Gear announced and EVO will be the swan song of this general?

>>16759068

Imagine being a nigger tranny furfag

>>16760809

Jewtube, didn't watch.

>>16759530

We can surely go on without ugly Kim clones that have his discarded moves from older games

>>16759574

>majority people bitched enough about the graphics and roster size

You could see miles away that with such a big rooster their focus was on quantity and not quality, characters like Whip which was a paid DLC character, always sucked and they never bothered to rework her at all.

THAT IS BULLSHIT

Blaz Blue Cum Tag Battle

Well so farthe red bull afterparty is fucked. Waited in a line for half an hour past when it was supposed to start. The bar fights shit yesterday was ez, just walk in and do whatever.

This looks the same as yesterday but pricier drinks and maybe we'll have real pros playing real games. In 2016 the afterparty had SnakeEyes in the Red Bull VIP pit assfucking people on stream all night. I hope Anakin does something similar.

Wish I had the luck I did in 2016. That year I accidentally my way into a VIP wristband and had free drinks all night.

What makes this better than V1?

Has Murray or any of the other bamco fucks hinted at a date for the Tekken training mode/replay patch? Every time I fight a Hwo I just can't find anything that can escape his pressure other than dickjab and I'm fiending for that punish tool.
