The amount of people gonna realise that KI is basically GG's American cousin in March when it releases on PC

The amount of people that are gonna be playing KI PC when it's Win10 walled-garden exclusive and no Steam's walled-garden:

Keeping MVC3 but getting rid of SF4
There being two smash games but no SF4
Pokken? For real?

I'm ready for SF4 to be outta there, but yeah, two Smash games still? Enough with Melee already. But they get the views.

Instead of Virtua Fighter 5 FS or Dead or Alive 5 getting represented in the past, the 3D fighter that gets a chance to shine is fucking Pokken. Yeah, suck Nintendo's dick when Nintendo has shown they give negative shits about their games being part of competitive communities.

There were so many other games that deserved that slot. 2D anime fighters, 3D fighters. I'd rather see Sonic Fighters than Pokken.

I dunno how Pokken is so I can't comment. What I can say is that I'd much rather see DOA5 there instead. VF5 is dead -even VF.net is about to shut down- but KT is still going strong with DOA5 and it deserves a spot up there already.

In general, you're not going to get grapplers in ASW games because they're chain games. If you want to play grapplers, I highly suggest VF.

Isn't Bullet a grappler?

I thought she was more of a zoner. She doesn't play like a typical SF grappler.

bork · « **Reply #315 on:** January 27, 2016, 04:48:25 PM »

Bullet is kind of a grappler but very different. The traditional-style grappler is Tager. Very much so...I love using him whereas Potemkin doesn't appeal to me much in GG.

Actually when I think about it, my favorites are Tager, Litchi, and Kokonoe in BB...and there's a connection there.

With all the talk about Tekken 7, I really wish Sega would take a risk and throw the fighting game community a bone and greenlight 30 million dollars for VF6. I'm sure it'd at least break even between arcade and home sales and keeping the franchise somewhat alive is helpful in case they ever want to bring it back someday in full force.

If sega does sega will have done it far too late just like they did with vf. dumbass company.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing SC5 hit PC. Just so I could mess with Ezio. Despite not having any of the classic SC characters.

Well SC is active and alive, right? Feels like they keep pumping one out every few years between Tekken entries.

mormapope · « **Reply #325 on:** January 27, 2016, 09:00:06 PM »

SCV sales didn't set the world on fire. Mainly due to bad word of mouth from reviews saying how little single player content there was versus other Soul Calibur games. Gameplay wise and mechanically, a lot of SC players view SCV as the strongest.

We might see SC sometime soon. I'd guess Tekken versus Street Fighter will be the next Namco fighter, and then Soul Calibur VI after that. Maybe SCVI will come out after Tekken 7.

thisismyusername · « **Reply #326 on:** January 28, 2016, 08:11:33 AM »

SC2 HD also didn't help with it being $20 (wayyy overpriced) with terrible online functions, to be fair.

But yeah, I only got SC5 for the Ezio cameo and the lack of a Weapons Master level offline mode was

Note- The last SFV beta test is this weekend. It was live last night and may be live now. I'm still not home to check!

Finally got Kouhime Enbu for PS4 yesterday. This is a 2D fighting game based on the Koihime Musou PC game/anime series (Romance Of The Three Kingdoms with all the characters girls

). I tried the arcade version last summer and thought it was pretty good. It's made by M2, who handles a lot of the NeoGeo and Sega arcade/Genesis conversion ports to various platforms.

Went online...and couldn't find a single match.

thisismyusername · « **Reply #328 on:** January 29, 2016, 07:25:20 PM »

It is. I played two rounds, saw it rewarded 0 Fight Money on losses, but 50 on wins and then turned it off. Don't really have desire to play this one after the previous two were really short (for me) and it still doesn't have F.A.N.G. in the roster.

bork · « **Reply #329 on:** January 30, 2016, 07:43:15 AM »

Anyway, I went right to the PC version again. It runs pretty much perfectly now on my laptop-- the weird stage specific framerate stuff is gone. Got two perfects and beat a dude ranked pretty high. Felt good, man. The latter, anyway-- he was an amazing Laura player. The two perfects were just against idiots who had no idea how to counter throws.

We did? Well shit, it's news to me at least

Some locals are hitting up Gamestops for info on launch tournies and the system for SFV sounds like a mess. You have to qualify via one of two Super (yes Super) SF4 tournaments in town and then if you win you play GF in SFV on launch day. No info on the prizes yet but I imagine a free copy of SFV is a given, maybe there will be more.

Gonna enter the SSF4 tourney with Cammy and TKCS on bitches all day or maybe use the most gdlk version of Guile. This could actually be fun.

nachobro · « **Reply #346 on:** February 03, 2016, 02:43:52 PM »

definitely gonna try. the local scene is going to be descending en masse on both tournaments so it should be interesting to see what happens. there is also a distinct possibility that we'll be forced to use 360 pads for SSF4 so that will really throw things into disarray.

mormapope · « **Reply #347 on:** February 03, 2016, 02:48:02 PM »

Just got back from the Gamestop tourney. They changed the setup and rules last minute. They are still doing a qualifier thing, but now everything is in SFV. You could use arcade stick but only if your opponent also wanted to use one.

Four people entered, it was a double elim tourney. I had to use pad for all but one match. I beat ass and won this event easily with Cammy. GF event is on Thursday (wat) and the person who won the other tourney is a pad player from the local scene so I'll probably lose cause playing on DS4 really sucks ass, while DS3/4 is his preferred controller type.

Prize is going to be a $60 GS giftcard so not a huge loss I guess.

nachobro · « **Reply #350 on:** February 14, 2016, 03:03:08 PM »

Also this is a real fun time as an arcade stick hoarder. People are dropping their 360/PS3 sticks for pennies on the dollar. Looking at a couple different TEs and deciding what, if any, I wanna buy and mod.

I've already made on offer on a Chun TES and the most ugly TE R1 I've seen in quite a while.

I dunno, dinosaur dude looks better than any of the new SF5 characters (although is Dinosaur dude just Tizoc from Garou with a new mask?). I really hate all the SF new character designs from 4 onwards (Rufus

). Rashid is the only ok one even though he's just a blatant stereotype. Miss the old-school SF designs.

New KoF trailer looks pretty good. First time the game doesn't visually look like shit. Looks solid now and with 50 character roster and improved KoFXIII mechanics it could be a neat game.
