Title: The Big (Not Smash Bros) Fighting Game Topic
Post by: Turbodude on July 04, 2012, 03:35:00 PM
I haven't seen many people on Cutstuff talk about or even slightly mention fighters that much, so I figured instead of making a topic for one specific title, I thought I'd make a topic to rally up all those who enjoy the genre of games that is Fighting. Smash Bros is more so a party game and as such requires it's own topic (http://cutstuff.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2101). This topic on the otherhand, is for all the traditional fighting games out there like Street Fighter, Tekken, and everything else. So Cutstuff, what fighters do you play? And on which system? If this gets enough attention, I'll put up a list of games (Including Supercade/GGPO) and the names of people that play them.

Normally on Xbox Live I play a lot of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom, but recently I've been playing Tekken 6 again to get myself hyped for Tag Tournament 2 which looks really damn promising. I also play games on Supercade and GGPO like Street Fighter Alpha 2, King of Fighters 98, Samurai Shodown 4, and others. Oh yeah, and I do occasionally play Touhou 12.3 *It's a fighting game!* (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nFwZ9WA3MY&t=25s) on Hamachi.

I don't play many fighters because I'm bad at them, but I own Soul Calibur 2, 3, and 4, and I've been playing "Gundam Wing: Endless Duel" for the SNES a lot, hence my current avatar.

I'm "so bad I'm good" at fighting games.

As in, I know how fighting game structure works. How to chain moves, when to block, all that fun stuff. Usually if a game has a simplified control setup mode, I'm pretty darn good. Take Street Fighter 3D for instance. I avoid binding all the "OP shit" to my touch screen and usually have basics set down there (like Heavy Kick and Shoryuken), and I'm not too shabby.

What gets me screwed over is the "finger origami" that every fighter in existence forces down your throat.

Seriously? Why can't fighting games be like Smash Bros. or Power Stone where ATTACKING IS ONE BUTTON? What's with all this "corner-back" and "side-circle" crap nowadays? In order to even do a somewhat simple air juggle you have to wank around the control stick about five times in different patterns and personally I find it to be irritating. Hell, to pull of some specials there's usually TWO of these control stick movements, and you have to press three buttons at the same time WHILE doing said movements.

If fighters learned to make simple control schemes without compromising higher-tier gameplay, I'd be a much bigger fan of the genre. As it stands, though? I really don't enjoy playing fighters. It's a shame.

I only like fighters

I don't currently own any fighter games as it stands, but I want to get Tatsunuko Vs. Capcom or whatever it's called.

Because "I'm Frank West"

Also does Mega Man: Power Fighters count because my cousins have that

Power Fighters is pretty much a Megaman game cut down to only boss battles. I hear people refer to it as a fighting game sometimes, but I wouldn't really consider it one.

One of my pet peeves is people thinking Power Battles/Fighters is a fighting game akin to Street Fighter 2. Everyone who's played both know the difference, but there's some who just see a screenshot or the "fighting game" label and assume that they're the same.

And yet, it technically -is- a fighting game since, like you said, it's one on one battles, with no platforming. Even Double Dragon gets called a "fighting game", although the much more appropriate generic label "beat em' up" is available.

Anywho...

I'm psyched for the re-release of MvC1!

M.U.G.E.N.

Free downloaded game for your computer where everyone makes their own characters and stages and lifebars and menu screens etc.

For me this is amazing. You get to have a personalized fighting game that matches your interests and you can even make your own characters if you wanted to! (I've wanted to do this for years, but the severe lack of sprites is always holding me back.

You'll notice that as you practice these kinds of moves when you're new to fighters, that you'll be doing them easier and easier to the point where preforming moves like hadoukens will be as natural as pissing. And once you learn simplistic moves like that, you will know special move motions for a lot of 2D fighters like King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown, Darkstalkers, and so on. The knowledge and understanding of quarter circle/half circle motions tends to transfer well, really.

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE

Isn't this an oldie? Has interest in this genre increased in the last few years?

I've been playing fighters for just about 1 and 1/4 years now, and man has it grown into being my favourite genre.

We've got a bunch of new ones in the coming months!

Well, coming this year, we have:

Persona 4 Ultimax for PS3/360.

Guilty Gear Xrd for PS3/PS4.

While not necessarily a new game, Skullgirls should be done with all its Indiegogo DLC at the end of this year or early next.

Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm coming to PC sometime this year (With a Vita port of the previous game coming soon too.)

And while ALSO not really new, King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match was recently updated in Steam Database so it has a chance of coming as well.

And next year we have:

Mortal Kombat X coming around April next year for Xbox OnePS4.

Waaaay further ahead we got Tekken 7 for ArcadeXbox OnePS4 and Pokkén for Arcade and presumably Wii U later.

AAAaaaaand that's it. I'm pretty sure I forgot something, but I'll edit in whatever I come up with.
oh and Smash Bros soon, but don't tell Sam I said that

I bought USF4 on steam lately, and I must say it's pretty interesting. It didn't take me too long to figure out the controls, as well as memorize the specials for a few characters (I feel as though every gamer should know Ryu's moves). I've gotten pretty good with Dudley, having down a few combos that do a fair amount of damage. Davregis still destroys me with Vega though D:

My only complaint about fighting games is not that they're complicated or hard to handle, but that most of them do literally nothing to introduce you to even its most basic mechanics. You're left to figure it out all on your own by looking up how to not lose on sites such as shoryuken and eventhubs. Executing a special is one thing. Doing a link combo, FADC'ing and canceling into it is another.
Title: Re: The Big (Not Smash Bros) Fighting Game Topic
Post by: Yuri Sakazaki on September 08, 2014, 02:54:59 PM
Really can't argue about that. I often try to coach people new to the genre to the best of my abilities.

I usually spend a buttload of time on GGPO playing KOF98 and sometimes KOFXIII on Steam.

Barlowe is super fun to play with!

If this is true, I'm super pumped, more KOF on Steam is always a good thing.

If only more developers could follow SNK and Capcom's example and release more fighters on PC

Seth in USF4 gave me hell the first few times. Cheating bastard and his command reading... If you even so much as lightly touch the jump button, he'll shoryuken. If you come within 3 inches of him, command grab. If you light punch, he'll use his Ultra. Not to mention that Seth's only weakness, his low HP, was removed for the sake of being a final boss. I found that the only way to win against him was to cheat back. Use nothing but focus attacks and keep him knocked down, and you'll win.

Post by: Yuri Sakazaki on September 16, 2014, 07:47:25 AM
I say it's pretty fantastic. It's what got me into KOF in the first place so I would wholeheartedly recommend it. Don't go in expecting rollback netcode ala Supercade/GGPO though. But the netcode is a huuuuuge improvement over what was on the 360/PS3 so I say it's pretty good nonetheless.

As for hated final bosses, KOF95's Saisyu/Omega Rugal combo was such a pain in the neck and is one of the only KOF bosses I've never legitimately beaten.

If your computer can run it, then sure! It's a ton of fun.

Just so you know, it's more beefy than say Skullgirls or the Touhou fighting games, so if your computer isn't as strong then you should keep this in mind. (tho if your computer can handle livestreaming stuff then it should work fine)

Allow me to interrupt this thread in order to talk about Blade Symphony.



Blade Symphony is "an online tactical swordfighting game" that, while classified as a fighting game, differs quite a lot from your standard fighting game setup. Instead of facing each other on a flat 2D screen, players instead fight in a 3D where there is a much larger focus on positioning and timing than other games in the genre. There are currently four types of characters in the game which dictate your general style and swordfighting technique, from Judgment with his slow but implacable heavy attacks, to Ryoku with his quick, up close and relentless comboing. In addition to that, the type of sword you're using will also affect how you fight: A rapier will deal more damage with thrusting attacks but much less damage with side attacks, while a Jian can be used to intercept enemy attacks and give you an opening. All in all it ends up being quite enjoyable experience, and a fresh take on the fightin game genre as a whole.

But, wait, it gets better. Did I mention that the game is entirely free to play until the end of the week? Now you have no excuse to not try it out. So go check it out on the steam store (http://store.steampowered.com/app/225600/), then throw me a message so we can do some sword fighting.

KOF98UMFE and KOF2002UM have been delayed to "This winter". Though, 98's SteamDatabase has had some significant activity as of late, so it may be arriving soon.

BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend has also been confirmed for PC with a release in December this year.
This port will actually include Online Multiplayer unlike BlazBlue Calamity Trigger which released earlier this year. Though, why we can't just get BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma (The newest one) is beyond me.

Persona 4 Ultimax comes out in Europe in November 21st, though I doubt we have many Europeans here anyway. (sob)

Guilty Gear Xrd comes out for PS3 in December 16 for those interested in that.

With Smash on the horizon as well, this year has been a healthy year for Fighting Games~

King of Fighters 98 Ultimate Match Final Edition is available for pre-order now!

I might be interested in getting this, depending on what version it is. My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I distinctly recall there being two different versions of this game - one of them with more features than the other. I think it was the Xbox Arcade version (which had less options/a bunch of things changed) and the Playstation Network versions for comparison. Then again, this is just based on something I vaguely remember, so I could be getting this all wrong. If anyone wants to clarify this, feel free to do so. Either way, it's neat to see more entries in the KoF series coming to Steam. Hopefully they'll port over 2002 UM next.
Title: Re: The Big (Not Smash Bros) Fighting Game Topic
Post by: Korby on November 28, 2014, 03:00:36 AM
This one is '98UMFE. It's a version made specifically for Steam(?) that has all the features of UM, making it have more comment than the original.

You can also just play the original anyway, apparently.
Title: Re: The Big (Not Smash Bros) Fighting Game Topic
Post by: Yuri Sakazaki on November 28, 2014, 03:15:20 AM
The PSN version is probably the PS2 version of 98UM. which featured 3D Backgrounds and arranged soundtrack. 98UMFE never had a PS2 port though and is directly based on Arcade so it doesn't have both of those things.

Not to mention, first time FE is releasing outside of Japan.

2002UM is most certainly coming, it was in the report alongside this back in september.

Orcane reminds me of how Vaporeon worked in Smash Land. Pretty nifty.

Also, is there a certain mindset you need to be in to perform well in these games? Be it Smash or Street Fighter, I always just find myself kinda mindless and frantic when I play fighting games and I'd like to be better at them.

Post by: Korby on December 09, 2014, 11:26:09 PM
Be calm. Know what your character can and can't do and know what situations they should do them in, and apply them in those situations. From there you can start making your own situations instead of playing defensively, and that's how you start combing.

Post by: Rui on December 09, 2014, 11:43:14 PM
As Korby said, research your character and understand their limits.

Try to experiment outside of your comfort zone and see if you can find other characters you'd like (I was expecting to never use Marth from Smash Bros or Yamazaki from KoF at all but whaddya know)

The more you play, the better you get. Practice makes perfect. :p

It's a Smashbros styled game being made by Dan Fornace(Super Smash Land, Killer Instinct 2014, etc.) and flashygoodness(music for things like tower of heaven) for PC and Xbone.

looks pretty great if you ask me.


on the subject of sf5, I think that elemental thing they've got going on looks pretty cool.
it's too bad they'll never revive Q.

I saw this earlier today on /r/smashbros. It's already got me excited!
It has directional airdodging too, which leads to wavedashing. This was intentional.

Following what everyone else said to Llama: Another good way to get better at Fighting Games is to play alongside someone new. (This is how I started with TG and we grew steadily alongside each other.)

or

against someone who knows what they're doing. (I taught Smash the Echidna to get better by just playing him over and over, and while he wasn't able to beat me at first, he certainly poses a threat now.)

- Time / Weather effects in stages
- Release date : 2016, before the end of the fiscal year.
- Unreal Engine 4
- The new mechanic is named V-Trigger : You can change your stance.
- 16 characters
- No Super Street Fighter 2X + EX (Updates kinda like League of Legends / Killer Instinct)
- The story mode will be way much better, they know they fucked up with sf4.
- The PC version is here mostly because they want to bring the game to Latin America, South Asia, Africa...

A rumor flying around about SF5.

I hope they bring back characters like Karin or Charlie (hey, he's a cooler Guile anyway.) for SF5. But, knowing Capcom, the returning ones will probably just be SF2 characters...

For all chars? Because Gen could already do that
- 16 characters
In all? Oh god I hope not.

SF4 was based before SF3 so hopefully we are getting more SF3 chars in SF5. Charile is deadforget about it

Oh yeah, Fighting Games, right?

King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match Final Edition was released on Steam a few days ago. with a pretty good/bad netcode, depending on the players, I suppose. But Code Mystics are trying to fix it.

Me and Sam had pretty flawless battles despite it being Input Delay based netcode and me being located in Sweden and him in USA.

Blazblue: Continuum Shift Extend also release recently but is region locked for some reason (Europe woes ;_;)

Pocket Rumble? Yeah, it's looking really cool! Always enjoyed the fighting games on the NGPC.

Recently been playing Street Fighter EX 2 Plus on vizzed. I remember my siblings owning it as a child, and all my sister and I would do is choose Vega so we can throw people into invisible walls. Ah, good times.

Also, WHY I AM NOW SEEING THIS THREAD!? I LOVE FIGHTING GAMES!
