Sparking Zero is getting some gameplay in an hour https://yewtu.be/watch?v=vPpKUl9BvE8

>>949007 I truly hope they stick to how the original sparking games played and not the animated movies we've are subjected to since the ultimate ninja storm series. Xenoverse and Kakarot have this same problem. I fucking loath mashing 4 buttons to watch the game play by itself. Also hate niggers

>>949007 >No Manga characters TRASH

>multiversus >AGAIN Didn't they pulled the plug some time ago because nobody was playing that shit? >Oh, and if you're sick of the modern gaming autism then just play Third Strike or Guilty Gear Nah, thanks, i'll stick to MK Deception/Unchained PSP and **DoA 5 Last Round*"

>>949055 >Fucked up formatting Man, i need a better sleep schedule ASAP

>>949055 It was always officially a beta. Except the released version to be even more microtransaction hell.

>>949055 >Didn't they pulled the plug some time ago because nobody was playing that shit? No, they pulled it because it apparently needed some more dev time. They uploaded a new trailer talking about their "updated game" but it looks literally exactly the same, just the same boring sluggish weak excuse for a Smash clone that it was already, but apparently it's in Unreal Engine 5 now. So they essentially just spend the last 9 months goldbricking.

AU where skullgirls becomes the giant woman game

>>949224 I hoped, vainly, that ABA wasn't gonna get dragged into the trannification of Guilty Gear. Then I remembered she had a decent following in the west, and with ArcSys choosing to betray their country, it was only a matter of time.

>>949224 >>949232 Guilty Gear huh? More like Guilty Queer! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!

>>949232 >has the circles around her eyes on the artwork >but not in game

>>949224 Tranny game

>>949232 Absolute downgrade. Jesus Christ almighty.

>>949232 wtf how is that the same character?

>>949881 It's not, Xrd and everything after it might as well be reboot fanfiction.

>>949232 Lmao feels good being a T O T S U G E K I and Ky main

>>949232 And i thought the worst that could happen to GG was to stay as a dead franchise. What they have done since they brought the franchise back (the first 3d game) has been a painful road for me. I never thought i'd say this. But i hope Ishiwatari fucking dies.

>>949881 The idea is that ABA's hair is supposed to be copper, and copper turns green with age. See also Statue of Liberty.

>>950047 With an asspull like that i wouldn't be surprised if Kubo was writting GG now

At this point I hope the few games I love that haven't been remade or brought back stay dead. I had my reservations about xrd and even tried to enjoy it but xrd's balance patches were a hot mess and Strive might as well be Ishikawa's SF6 at this point. What a shitshow.

>>950234 By merely stating all this you have begun the process of them developing the next Darkstalkers game.

City of the Wolves looks it'll be fucking cool, shame they censored Hotaru's super.

>>950332 They fucking what?

>>950471 She doesn't do the pose at the end of her super where she cums on you.

>>949209 NEVER EVER

>>950508 >Japanese man: "This move is no longer interesting because Hotaru is legal age now"

>>950516 >Japanese Not with modern SNK.

>>950516 "SNK" is a a Saudi Arabian company now. For almost 10 years, in fact. The real SNK died in the 90s and never came back.

>>950653 https://yewtu.be/watch?v=W7qRjZ7pYdI Jews lost, based sandniggers win.

>>950696 If we're getting censored content we all lost

Absolute fucking cancer https://archive.is/DbWKU

>>950841 >Blaming Strive on the west DON'T BLAME US YOU SLANT EYED FUCK! THIS WAS YOUR PROJECT!

>>950841 Is this them trying to backtrack and blame America?

>>950878 Always blame it on imperialism whenever marxists butcher your shit, you don't wanna' lose them useful leftwing retards.

>>950896 >pic The artist is completely correct, because fascism itself is not racist and antifascism is a rejection of it as a political movement. Leftist antifas are larping as antifascista but in reality they wish to impose Stalinist principles and use fascism (a left wing ideology) as a scapegoat for their violence. Actual Communists hate antifas because they engage in identity politics and ignore class struggle. Also, right wing antifascists exist, particularly among the clergy.

>>950901 The funny thing is that all but one of the altered pictures of Yehzov have been Yehzov'd from Wikipedia. The Leftists running Wikipedia are trying to disappear the Orwellian nature of Stalinism.

>>951018 Love the 10+ years of being called a faggot loser at my locals for trying to get people into this "gay looking game," only for it to become the game for faggot losers who tell me I'm not a "real fan" because I don't like that they want Bridget to be a tranny

>>951030 They were completely wrong to call you a "faggot loser", you're not a loser at all and it was mean of them to say that.

>>951030 If that makes it any better, you're not the only one. The community of Strive seems to be the same kind of faggots and goons that plague the Persona community.

>>950841 >>951060 >The community of Strive seems to be the same kind of faggots and goons that plague the Persona community. and the second games are no longer trendy they will leave and pretend they always hated video games just like they pretend to be life long fans of them now.

>>951068 Pretty much, those fuckers are insane social parasites.

>>950878 But who supported it wholeheartedly? The west

>>950841 >Xrd as a example of failure <Started in Strive just for curiosity, and don't playing it too much because it ran like ass, and was stiff as fuck <Played XRD Rev 2 who was milles better, more fluid, more characters and scenarios, and even have better moves even if i didn't like May's costume as much as Strive, had a fuckton of fun compared to Strive <Got my ass kicked by XX and the PS1 OG, but love them nevertheless, XX still My favorite to this day, XRD Rev 2 being the second one behind <Completely forgot about Strive until now, Saw it again, is the same sluggish shit that i've played >Nyehehe is da wes faurt hyehyehye Please choke in My cock you sellout chink, totsugeki fucking this

>>951111 (checked) Quads confirm!

>>951118 XX was the peak and Strive is literally slower and more like SF. It's a shitshow.

>>951126 I remember when ArcSys opened an office in Commiefornia, followed by creating an official account at RetardEra, and shills came here in full damage control telling everyone to "wait and see" and "it doesn't mean that the studio will become SJW itself". I laugh at those retards that didn't abandon ArcSys when they did that. If any studio or company gets along with the degenerate freaks, it WILL become one of them, and all of it's products will become shit.

>>950841 My friend was telling me a story about the mentally ill "people" who live in the discord server they are apart of and how they would trash talk GG but lo and behold as soon as Bridget came out they immediately wanted to play it because all of a sudden the series was interesting. Shocking no one, my friend told me the person has less than an hour on the game as of now.

Frankly, the worst thing about Bridget and other tokenist tranny iconography is how you can't discuss a subject as it was pre-poz since earnest attempts get derailed by political shitflinging.

>>951048 Yeah I'll admit I fell for the trap meme at least... 15 years ago, thanks to /v/.

>>951805 if they weren't gay they wouldn't call them traps you can't say you weren't warned

>>951364 I always knew it was gonna happen if Bridget ever came back to the series (especially after Testament's they/them bullshit), but people were naive and thought ArcSys would be vague nips rather than purposefully stoke the fire to ride the wave of infamy into the mainstream. Now that ABA's gotten dragged into this too, I know Zappa's next.

>>952078 >I always knew it was gonna happen if Bridget ever came back to the series I expected it as well, but Strive was so fucking bad I didn't care at that point.

>>950841 Reminder the American audience is quite simply a plague that only shows up to gas up and buy the worst entries in a series so that dogshit gets bolstered as the series direction from now on. It quite literally keeps happening & I don't think this gets talked about nearly enough. If a JP dev ever mentions them in any way it should just be taken as a sign the game will be shit because simply shit is what the American audience likes.

>>952679 Fuck you man. Berseria is the second best game in the series and doesn't belong with the rest of those at all. And the game that followed was such complete unfiltered ass precisely because the devs weren't willing to follow up on what Berseria did right and instead made a game that's a complete schizophrenic mess trying to emulate older entries and grabbing surface-level shit from them in order to create one of the worst games I've ever had the experience of playing. Characters are great, world is great, gameplay is great, still has all the artstyle hallmarks of its predecessors, fanservice designs aplenty. All in line with the series save for the non-heroic protagonists thing who end up having to save the world anyway, something Vesperia and Abyss did as well to lesser degrees. And now compare that to the pathetic sludge that is Arise. With it's flat tropey surface-level characters, shitty gameplay borrowing from code vein and scarlet nexus, terrible world design, horrible raping of the artstyle, and iffy character design.

>>952690 >game that abandoned the LMBS, the defining feature of the series that made its gameplay unique, to chase being more like other more shallow and generic ARPGs >second best game in the series Half or more of Arise's problems come from it doubling down on everything wrong with Berseria, because Zestiria tanked the franchise in Japan and the Western audience was left because after that happened and they rushed out Berseria in a year as damage control Americans ate it up (like >>952679 correctly pointed out), leading to Arise continuing to cater to Americans and Berseria fans. They made Arise because of people like you, sorry.

>>952679 Reminder that (((american))) audiences like (((sports))) like NFL and NBA, which call themselves (((Entertainment))), so whatever a murican says, automatically doesn't count

>>952703 Then why the fuck is the story so ass. The characters so fucking flat, the ai so nigger-tier retarded, the enemy design so shit, the artstyle abandoned, the world so fucking boring? No American fan of the series complained about any of this fucking shit or wanted dumbed-down characters or a shittier story ripping off Xenoblade 2 but without all the cool worldbuilding shit. Hell, most of the changes in Arise are related to the JP side of things shitting on Berseria so hard and Berseria being such a flop across the pond. With the new heroes being such goody two-shoes types because JP bitched out about the "evil protags" thing. Shionne being the worst mix of XB2's female love interests with all the negatives and none of the positives in an attempt to cast the waifu heroine net as much as possible, resulting in one of the most insufferable cunts I've ever had to put up with in ANY video game that makes fucking Chloe from Life is Gay look like a good time. The shitty sci-fi turn with nanomachines because "HEY LOOK THE FUNNY SWITCH GAME DID IT AND OUTSOLD US LETS COPY IT.". Why did they cut back hard on the background lore and fleshing out a setting when amerimutts eat that deepest lore shit up like hotcakes looking at shit like the souls series and all that. Why is the game so chock-full of repetition and restating of basic facts compared to the stories that actually partly respected your intelligence and expected you to pay at least some attention like before, hell even the loading screens get in on this by stating the most bog-standard basic-ass surface level information about the world that's already been explained at least in triplicate by everything else. Why the fuck is the game so fucking safe and tropey that it falls on its own sword to stick to the "don't kill in revenge because that's BAD" distinctly Japanese trope out of nowhere and completely ruin Rinwell and Law's character arcs? Why the fuck was the budget slashed in half and all the 2D shit taken out when that was one of the franchises key selling points, this hybridization of arstyles, and is one of the reasons it stood out from the competition and became popular over here in the first place. Continuing the safe story thing, where's all the raunchy jokes and such from Berseria that helped it to become so well known amongst American fans? Nowhere to be seen from what I can see. All this shit doesn't sound like appealing to burgerland to me. It sounds like doing mass appeal and general and groveling to the JP side to please buy gaem by kneecapping themselves and doing a """back to basics""" thing to try and apologize for Berseria. I get that you're asshurt about the LMBS thing but Xillia was in the process of killing that mega dead and Zestiria all but killed it dead. Berseria just finished the job by changing how lock-on works. Look past that and at everything fucking else about the game, because the combat is the last thing you hear when people discuss Berseria outside of the novelty that the Tales series has due to action combat. The director talked big about "emulating life is strange" and western games in general but in practice it's all talk. Until the DLC came out at least and just copied God of Soy/God of Boi/GoW4's story formula. Yeah, that game got DLC and NOBODY talks about it because nobody gave a flying fuck about it over on this side of the pond because Arise was shit and forgettable over here, compared to people still talking about Berseria to this day. I also don't know of a single American fan of Tales of that actually liked Arise. Most I've seen is mediocre reception, people who quickly forgot about it, or outright boiling hatred. Hell the most I've seen it mentioned was normalnigger outsiders talking about if other games are like it solely because it's the most recent in the series (in relation to Granblue Fantasy Relink), not because it's any measure of good.

Apologies for the tangent. To attempt to re-rail the discussion. Granblue Fantasy VS Rising is getting Vane as a new character on April 2, alongside the first major balance patch in months. Devs have said they're aiming to even the playing field by bringing up characters rather than nerfing them, but I do wonder if they're at least going to tone down Seox with his infinite pressure bullshit and Nier with her stupidly long midscreen combos. They did wait until after a major tournamanet thing to do this balance patch though, which makes me think that they will in fact be taking a nerf bat to a lot of more-played and "higher tiered" characters.

>>952719 >I also don't know of a single American fan of Tales of that actually liked Arise. I've heard them, but they're from the more normalfag sphere who think gaming is at it's "peak" right now.

>>952679 >>952707 These.

Tales of Arise didn’t even start development as a Tales game hence why it’s fucking boring.

>>952767 Wait, really? That's news to me. What did it start development as then? Some new action RPG that Bamco didn't have the balls to let stand on its own or something?

Marie's finally out in SkullGirls long after the game's burned-out goodwill, especially after being teased since the first game came out. She's somehow still alive and is now an "unchained Skullgirl" as part of the game's supposedly retconned lore.

>>952811 >Future Club further looting Alex' old work so they can suck off more money from the goyim still playing Shekelgirls I fucking hate how cheap the story sections look.Is it just me or is there something off with the VA?

>>952690 >>952719 >Actual piles of amerimutt nigger babble Arise is the best selling game in the franchise now with 3M sales over Vesperias 2.4M across multiple releases. Dude is right and you're actually a massive retarded gorilla nigger for shitting on the floor this much as a cope.

>>952874 Go back

>>952811 >those in-game lines They just went with the very first thing they could think of, huh?

>>952874 This is a good argument that people want Arise more, but that doesn't mean Arise is better. If you appease the lowest common denominator of normalfag you sell more, people want rap music but that doesn't mean rap is good taste, it just means people have gotten dumber.

>>952811 >>952815 I will give Alex's IP back to him.

>>952972 >>952887 I get that >>952719 s post is actually such fucking nigger babble none of you actually want to read it but >>952874 is about how he's full of shit with retarded statements like. "I also don't know of a single American fan of Tales of that actually liked Arise. Most I've seen is mediocre reception" when it's literally the biggest selling game with nothing but dick sucking & most old heads for tales are actually gone now due to being shut down by faggot arisetards. It's not saying arise good because sales, it's saying >>952719 is a sub 80IQ amerislop faggot who literally can't see he is the reason the franchise is dead now.

>>953226 I didn't read the post he answered and I wasn't saying he's wrong, only adding input. But since the huemonkey Brazilian talking about soy-freak numales is wielding my words like a caveman club to inflict his mental disorder upon others, I probably fucked up and I'll take the L. I want no association with that sudaca, I am not his friend, and he can take his nose out of my stinkhole.

>>952922 No you won't

Some fucking Mutt ape derailed the thread because they're in denial about my 200% true and accurate post that said his game is USA Slop. Everyone post some combos to get it back on track. Got some Ky examples I recorded to help a friend learn the game.

Anyone wanna start a Tekken 8 group on Steam? I mainly wanna learn the game with some of you fags and have fun with it.

>>954703 Just play Tekken 4

>>954702 To bad infinite world was rushed and put together sloppily. It could've been the definitive version of Budokai 3. Having shin budokai mechanics really added a new edge to the combos and gameplay. To bad they gutted the story mode in lieu of some mediocre mini games. Its a mix of budokai 2 story mode and superman 64.

>>954709 But I like Tekken 8

>>954700 >>954702 Guilty Gear is and always has been the most horrendously faggy shit in existence.

>>955140 Nigger you look like this, you know what they say about stones in glass houses.

>>955140 >Guilty Gear is and always has been the most horrendously faggy shit in existence. NEVER FUCKING EVER

>>955147 >You look like the most straight man in existence Uh, thank you?

I've been seeing DOA mentioned on X the last few days, with the usual FGC fags saying it needs to be "fixed" if it wants to be taken seriously. My question is: Who wants to be taken seriously by those faggots and chomos? Does Evo really bring in that much money for KT, or would fan service and DLC do them more favours? The mind boggles, it truly does.

>>954709 >Tekken 4 We agreed ages ago that Tekken 4 never existed, and was called actually Tag Tournament 1. And if you want to make him play old Tekken, just make him play Tekken 5 although i love Reina, and having jun is neat >>954720 No other DBZ game will be like Budokai Tenkaichi 2/3, for better or worse. That was the peak, and only FighterZ came near it, but had DLC up his ass, and didn't even have a story mode that wasn't fanfic still, A21 a cute >>954766 Just play it, and remember that Eddie players deserve to be shot. >>955646 >Entering X >Taking the opinions of those mentally ill furries, unironic pedos, and clinical autists as valid That being said, DoA already did it with 6, and those same fags didn't even touched it and complained about it being too hard, despite being easier than 5. >would fan service and DLC do them more favours? Unironically this, is a reason why DoA 5 still rakes money today, and Xtreme Venus Vacation lowkey maintains the IP and KT afloat. Also, if the positive reaction at stellar blade is something to take into account, making a normal/Classic DoA would rake a good chunk of Money, Evo is just free press and publicity, but in all honesty nobody watches Evo, nobody cares about Evo, and nobody actually thinks about Evo, that's just a gigantic circlejerk. People will be dragged to fighting games thanks to the gameplay, the roster, and the fanservice after all Just see how MK1 is in comatose state, and SFVI only played by 3 people, while Tekken 8 sold absolute gangbusters and broke every fightan Game ass, until they started with the micro bullshit. Long story Short: Let the X subhumans live their fantasies inside their minds, and let KT suffer again and again for being such a bunch of stupid retards, until someone buys DoA and Nioh from them, or when they finally learn to have common sense and stop being stupid

>>955657 KT feels like it's in internal strife Their top selling games are heavily sexualized, meanwhile you have them still pushing these game with little to no service that aren't doing very well, but are likely giving them ESG/DEI/Bridge points. They don't know where to position themselves and the whole company is suffering for it.

>>955657 SF6 sold a shitton anon, even more than Tekken I hate that tranny filled garbagefire as much as I do Strife, but both games sold well because they appeal to the same demographic, Amerinigger urbanite trash. Tekken appeals to a more worldwide audience. MK1 is fucking dead though, yeah, though MK was never a competitive game even if Warner Kikes push for it.

>>955633 Damn fat, ugly, can't program, can't 3D model, lack quite literally any skill to make a product and illiterate on top man, pick a struggle bro.

>>955148 God, even for all the faggotry of Strive, Ishiwatari could have at least not made the music suck.

>>955657 Well, SF6 is still absurdly popular, probably the most popular fighting game right now, and yeah Tekken is right next to it. They'll get watched at EVO as a result of being SF and Tekken. Other EVO games, nobody ever cares about, of course. >>955646 Of course, "core values" was just a symptom of the issue at large. If anything that reaction simply helped KT (ineffectively) gauge what they should do with the series and game. And they for some reason felt the need to make that choice of abandoning their identity to try to drum up more players, and of course it backfired and DOA6 was dead on arrival, and now the series is fated to be a gatcha that only Asia can play. I guess if there's talk of DOA, then there's talk of what to do for a possible DOA7, so I'm guessing now we have every tranny Sajam fan chiming in to say that they need to stop sexually hair-assing these imaginary video game women!!! For all the talk a lot of these people have about being comfortable with sexuality when it comes to real life issues, they don't seem to be comfortable with DOA. Or any other game with sexy characters, for instance. People genuinely went "thank goodness Cammy doesn't have her leotard!" when she was shown for SF6, or when that fake leak went around saying R. Mika and Elena in SF6 would have more clothing people were celebrating it. They are so ashamed of themselves and miserable that they have to fuck about and make others miserable for liking tiddies. A lot of people still think that DOA as a whole is just boobies with no substance instead of an actual fighting game. I don't even know what the bottom line I had was, I'm just pissed and salty. Jack Thompson was nothing compared to the gaggle of retards that call you a rapist for just wanting tiddies, skin, and non-ugly women in video games that already fucking had them.

>>956022 No grit, just his faggy voice in display with some shitty background riffs on the background.

>>956034 >a gatcha that only Asia can play. I still remember faggots defending the fact that DoAX3 wasn't coming to the West. Fucking wastes of space.

>>956034 that's such a cute cat.

>>955661 >>956034 >Shitty slop games sold well As expected once they got the ESG backing their asses for every fuck up, they always come back.

>>948995 Any of you fags going to EVO in Vegas this year?

>>960810 I seriously hope we don't have any tournifags over here

>>960810 I'm not black so no

>>960810 >going into a venue with that many niggers in it I'm not that stupid, and this is coming from a burger-murrican.

>>960814 I'm not a tournyfag, but I'm going to meet a few friends and because I think it'll be a fun experience.

SF6 sucks so much ass. It literally is just a boring flowchart fighter. Master rank doesn't mean shit, everyone just mashes and plays on autopilot on every single rank in the game and Modern Controls is fucking retarded, it completely destroys the game because the frame data and attack timings were all configured with classic controls in mind. All the characters are fucking lame, either the corny ass 1991 GI joe action figure world warriors who are outdated, and old hat, have nothing new to offer, and had no reason to come back, or new ugly hyperdiverse shitty characters who are the most contrived designs ever. >An asian twink faggot named Jamie who needs to drink cum to stay alive >A literal gorilla named Marisa >Lily who is the most fucking disgusting, puke-inducing glass eyed ugly piece of shit character in the series since rufus World Tour is a boring, padded, 30 hour slog with brainless enemies who eat fullscreen supers but are capable of killing you in 3 hits because it's a stupid JRPG "my damage stat is higher" grind. MTX and battle pass trash on a $60 game. The beautiful manga art style of the previous games is thrown out for the ugliest, stinkiest looking "hyper realistic" characters, making the game look like Mortal Kombat for normies who'll think that the game is better because you're able to see the cavities in zangief's teeth. The music is the ABSOLUTE WORST in the entire series, and given that SF4 exists that is saying quite a lot. Complete trash fire of a game, everyone who made it should be dropped in a woodchipper. Can't wait to see how they butcher my beautiful kenyan goddess Elena, they'll probably give her cornrows and a nose ring or something.

>>960941 They're going to put a lip plate on her Screencap this

>>955661 >>956034 >SF6 sold a shitton anon >SF6 is still absurdly popular, probably the most popular fighting game right now Proof?

>>960976 I mean Capcom Lists this stuff. It sold 2.90 million so far, but that's less the Vanilla SF4 at 3.50 million.

>>960978 So it sold poorly then. SF4 was their best seller for a long time, and SF5 was a failure. SF6 sales didn't reach nor surpass a 10+ years old game. What about refunds and other losses? Are there numbers for those, regarding SF6? Companies conveniently leave those out when their overhyped products flop (see Square-Enix with their Final Fantasy games since 2010).

>>961000 anon 10+ years means more people bought it, while sf6 is out for less than a year and has almost 3M sales. This includes final sales revenue, minus refunds and all

>>961002 >anon 10+ years means more people bought it https://infogalactic.com/info/Street_Fighter_IV <By March 31, 2009, Street Fighter IV had sold over 3 million copies worldwide. In other words, SF6 has been out for two months longer than SF4 yet is still behind. Forget even trying to reach SF4 lifetime sales of 8 million after six years.

>>960817 The only funny thing that happened in las Vegas was the midget nigger breaking his cuffs, the whole place romanticizes criminals and the lowest pieces of shit... and there's a convention of fat cunts.

>>961000 >tranny shit in character creator sells poorly for the brand and marketting put into it It remains an effective barometer to determining if a game is shit.

Repost from >>957151 What I don't get is how come fighting games haven't figured out they could just have a beat 'em up style mode where you unlock character specials and supers overtime if they want players to have a greater understanding of how to play fighting games. Instead many especially those that want to cater to the FGC make things mechanically simple or gameplay notations simple. I used to be shit at fighting games until I played some games with single-player content like Blazblue Continuum Shift or other later games like Arcana Hearts 3 Love Max that at least have single-player modes that let you get a feel for a character and how their fundamentals work. Phantom Breaker Battle Grounds is the closest I've seen to someone pulling something like this off where they're just basic quarter-circle movements with major leniency.

>>961156 That would take effort, modern gayman is about cutting corners and selling digital crack to get you addicted.

>>961156 This is not how I would do a single player mode in a fighting game, because what you're proposing entails playing as a created character where you unlock other characters' specials. Instead how I would do it is have the characters themselves be playable and be part of a focused narrative, and have all their specials/supers unlocked out of the gate. Then you can apply materia or whatever to them to give their attacks and movement different properties like super armor, fast startup, crumple on hit, etc. You can also apply them to yourself to give you faster meter build, an extra life bar, and other kinds of bonuses. The gameplay itself would be walking around an overworld and also having dungeons to complete, where there are non-playable simple enemies to battle as well as bosses that require you to use all your learned skills. All the battles against bosses and enemies are diegetic and occur in the same worldspace where you encounter them. And I'd stop pulling my punches early on in the game. After the first boss if you haven't learned how to do a fireball or a shoryuken you are fucked. No handholding in this bitch. There are ways to a compelling single player mode and making it like World Tour mode is not one of them. Absolute dog shit mode that holds your hand the entire way through, is just cobbled together with shitty RPG mechanics, hasn't been playtested for fun, padded out, full of braindead enemies and seems to be focused entirely on goading you towards the esports bullshit instead of being compelling on its own.

>>961294 Damn, that's a much better idea than what I came up with but still retains aspects I like such as exploration and customization. I thought starting out with a few special and unlocking them would help in a manner similar to rpgs would help you get used to using a character a certain way but your trial by fire approach sounds like it could work as well.

>>960978 >>961000 Don't forget the First Month of Sales rule, you got the recent failure that is the Dead Space Remake that sold for about just a million in an entire year, and some ramblings that I only moved 300-400k units in it's firstn3 months.

>>961002 >>961017 >>961322 Everything from the Sweet Baby exposure showed that companies lie about sales and "success" all the time, claiming that anything is a "success" by redefining the meaning of success to fit whatever numbers they achieve. SF6 clearly sold poorly, and crapcom is trying to spin it as being "successful".

Marvel died for this lmao.

>>961697 Thanks for the cancer!

>>960978 >>961322 I feel that this is proof that the market is completely oversaturated. A couple of niche games steal the scene for a couple of months and there's only a handful of titles that are widely played and remembered. This isn't really a Fighting Games issue, most live games barely make it past a few weeks before flatlining. >>952811 I'm still mad Steam censored the negative reviews. Even now unless you specifically remove a few filter it will only show thumbs up. >>961697 >Overdesigned ASSFAGGOT rejects #893467 Can't wait

>>961697 Why can't devs do clean and minimalist UI's anymore? look at that shit, near half the fucking screen is taken up by the life and power bars alone.

>>961823 >Why can't devs do clean and minimalist UI's anymore? I assume the same reason why compression is a lost art. Western brain drain is real, weaponized, and in full production.

>>961813 >Steam censored the negative reviews And everyone forgot about that during the SweetBaby scandal, I'm even surprised the group gatekeeping their faggot shit was allowed to exist on the first place.

>>962020 Steam knows how to keep the frog in the boiling pot, they are probably the most skilled in the entire game industry at that.

>>961697 Hang modern game animators now, too many cinematics for a tagfighter. Could've at least had the decency to have teams interact with teammates ala Blazblue Cross Tag, or have team intros ala Tekken Tag. At least they don't have lines for Command Normals so they aren't screaming 200 lines a minute >>961813 >ASSFAGGOT rejects Mentally retarded, these are literal ASSFAGGOT characters, this being a spinoff game >>961823 Mentally retarded, UI no more noisier than your average animeshit or Marvel

>>962040 Surprised nobody has done an edit of this image, replacing it with Gaben handshaking every leftwing-liberal ideology logo.

>Skullgirls just has a decade of blunder after blunder after blunder after blunder >A decade of idiotic devs, stupid decisions, released the game in an incomplete state, overinflated budget wasted on stupid shit, controvery after controversy, infighting between devs, lawsuits, bickering, community division, self-censorship, firing the creator, bad game design >It's still alive Fucking how?

>>962411 base game and base titty still good. also, nostalgia

>>962426 >Base game good No.

>>960976 Well "absurdly popular" in the vacuum of fighting games, of course it is not competing with the hundreds of thousands of double-digit IQ normalfags playing live service esports shooters and ASSFAGGOTS. But it has the most players of any fighting game on Steam right now, if that is any metric to go by. Tekken is not far behind. There is also stream viewership during the major tournaments being higher than fighting games ever get, actually attracting normalfags for more than two seconds. From a personal experience, SF6 dethroned Smash Ultimate as the most popular game at the three locals I go to. Tekken 8 had more players in brackets for about a month after it came out but now they're about even. Worst case, for the series, SF6 is slightly less popular than SF4 was. And I don't really think there's any point in comparing it to SF4 like other people are, I think SF6 is just popular in it's own right. Like it is actually back in the mind of the general person that plays video games like SF4 was. Splitting hairs between several hundred thousand copies when several million is already a lot, comparing to a game in a different console generation and where the culture was way different is not really apples to apples. Plus a bunch of fucking idiots probably bought the costumes and battle passes too, so it could be bringing in more money for Capcom, maybe. Not trying to make an argument that SF6 is good or anything but just because it has a lot of shitty things about it doesn't mean it's not doing well as a product and in the normalfag gamer consciousness. Full disclosure I actually like the game >>962411 Autistic faggots pretend to like Skullgirls and convince other people to buy it, where it then will rot in their Steam library. Plus doesn't it have a mobile gatcha game bringing in some spare revenue?

>>962411 Alive is a big word, it's more apt to say that the discord cabal who pushed away undesirables is gatekeeping the series. Remember that even at its peak popularity, MikeZ was struggling to find people to play friendlies with at freaking EVO. Also, you are severely underestimating how much money the shitty gacha version of the game made the devs.

>>962500 >China is cracking down on gachashit meaning we missed our chance to fleece gachafags for big money Fucking SG getting away with murder again.

>>962411 Don't forget the retards' second project and attempt at branching out with the shittiest Valkyrie Profile clone game, Indivisible. Not even paying Trigger to animate the opening made people give a shit.

>>961823 >Why can't devs do clean and minimalist UI's anymore? children and retards don't have the brain power to just remember what they have, remember old resident evil you had to remember how many bullets you have before a reload now the retards who have moved in need to be told.

>>962541 Mentally retarded, especially in regards to a fight game, especially a team based one where each character has separate resources, though I do think having to design a UI around mentally managing resources would be an interesting thought experiment. >Timer Visible >No Health/Super Meter >Not a 1 shot game ala Divekick >Super Stocks displayed through character having aura, density of aura flames show how many stocks (or go full letter again) >Team members have multiple kill conditions <Ring Outs <Land Super Attack (maybe level 3's or something) >No combo count indicator, Points indicator, Win Count, etc. >No Assist cooldown indicator either <This means locking assists out is unreadable, save for dead assists

>>962566 >>No Health/Super Meter >>Not a 1 shot game ala Divekick >Super Stocks displayed through character having aura, density of aura flames show how many stocks (or go full letter again) Why not just have the "armor" system present in Fighter's History and Fighting Vipers? >>No combo count indicator, Points indicator, Win Count, etc. Something I've noticed is that combos in fighting games are mostly trash.

>>961697 so much teal

>>962574 >Armor system Decent compromise, but too "easily" trackable, and it runs counter to the "kill condition" look. I do like your thinking though, if we're using armor to indicate health >Combos mostly trash Links, Juggles, and Special Cancels, I feel, are some of the truest forms of expression/mastery over a character's toolkit in maximizing damage. Mechanical Complexity 'is' a strategy gate that unlocks more higher risk options for those who can execute. Mash button for free string is dumb though

THE BUTT IS BACK IN TOWN wercum 2 shitty oda woor

>>961697 >"Nigga so black he stole time" now has a generic nigger hairstyle instead of his mohawk because "black peepo" look the same to their eyes L O L O L And not surprise it looks absolutely awful.

>>963136 Why is all but TWO PEOPLE in the gym a nigger?

>>963169 They are the most physically fit people :^)

>963169 Niggers are incels who gymcel to compensate

>>963169 >>963176 Had a nigger moment with >>

>>963176 needs more buzzwords, try again

>>963185 It's concise, retard

>>963216 no

>>963218 Outdo it then

Ez W, stay brown + mad

man i'm so glad i am not underage

>>963233 Worse, you're ESL

>>962411 The game became a "cultural phenomenon" meaning all posers get to enjoy it because it's so out of the mainstream. Still Cuphead managed to blow Skullgirls out of the water when it comes to videogame with traditional animation. >>962479 I remember watching some Skullgirls' gameplay, I stopped when the robot catgirl showed up: Spewing out retarded memes that were never funny to begin with and the game was massively shilled in Newgrounds, such an edgy and mature site.

>>963169 They're Brazillian, all but two people in Brazil are niggers

>>963281 The retarded catgirls spouting memes could still be endearing if they were capable of writing well, but the hacks currently in charge of this game cannot write their way out of a wet paper bag.

>>963281 Was skullgirls meant to have traditional animation?

>>963391 It was meant to be a cartoony blend of western and eastern styles because that's just how Alex Ahad draws stuff.

Incidentally, Big Coomer is back in town. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_DSF87l8C8

>>963394 >Coomer.

>>963398 Who are you quoting?

>>963407 Are you retarded or just pretending to be?

>>963398 Aw man, remember when AI couldn't generate anything better than this? Those were the times.

>>963415 Do you suck dick?

>>963169 There's more than two, take a closer look.

>>963394 I am looking forward to him :)

>>963483 You're right. There's three people in the gym. Anon forgot the bear.

>>963721 Never forget the bear, that's how it eats you.

>>963721 >>963930 exactly

>>963714 No smiling, only anger here.

>>962411 Stealing the company from the owner with the publisher's approval and being unable to sell any new games now that their company is registered as some esg turdification.

>>968511 >unable to sell any new games now that their company is registered as some esg turdification I know Future Club's full of turncoats who went along with Mariel Cartwright and co's coup and became Hidden Variable's dogs, but that part's new to me.

>>963394 They don't turn him in a parody of himself, the result could have been a lot worse. Misogi and Kongou Kokuretsu Zan can only be used after a special taunt.

CotW B. Jenet & Vox Reaper (quienes??)

>>976942 Two non-SF characters. Still no Sagat. WTF CAPCOM

>>976946 Healthy bosom...

>>976946 >>976969 >Healthy bosom yeah, but so far I don't like the way any of characters look in this game. especially the females. (have they dropped a link to that theme song yet?)

>>976942 Guys CVS3 is finally real. lol Seriously those two alone make me question what the hell Capcom is doing with SF6, and then: >M Bison Goddamn, couldn't go one year without digging up his grave? Even Tekken 8 hasn't revived Heihachi yet. Elena's the only good character in that lineup for how many FGC fags will get triggered remembering her USF4 days. >>976946 >B. Jenet Definitely a good sign that she hasn't lost anything fanservice-wise >Vox Reaper (quienes??) Obviously Grant from MOTW moveset wise, don't know what's up with this new name/design though. >>976972 New girl is definitely trash but otherwise I remain cautiously optimistic. They haven't done anything blacklist worthy recently, but they've also slowed to a screeching halt production wise just to produce titles that most consider too samey these days.

>>976946 I do not like Jenet's look here. She has a slim youthful appearance in MotW, but this new game makes her look like she's a mother nearing (If not already in) her 40's.

>>976976 but this new game makes her look like she's a mother nearing (If not already in) her 40's. that would be fine if they were going for an anime style ara ara milf type. but this art style looks a bit too close to western trash for comfort. (does SNK think they need to copy crapcom?)

>>976981 >but this art style looks a bit too close to western trash for comfort The game's aesthetic is a comic book style one. You can't really escape it looking Western a bit, but I think I'm in the minority for it to be looking pretty good. At least it's not an abomination looking artstyle like SF6.

El Bipson gameplay trailer:

>>977105 Some asshat on Twitter started making a stink about this one move Bison has in the trailer, and he's a "Capcom Creator" hopefully he's ignored, but he's gonna do more harm then if he just kept his mouth shut. Since I can see one of two things happening, either this move is going to be changed and animation removed from the game which they don't have enough time to do yet, or it's going to be spammed on every black character in the game every time one fights Bison online, until it does get removed. Maybe nothing like that will actually happen, but his bitching increased the chances that it will.

>>977716 This guy created a self-fulfilling prophecy.

>>977717 building the Pax Bisonica one knee-press at a time

>>976981 >>976976 >Implying lip stick makes you look like a 40 year old

>>977716 >>977717 I didn't even see it as a knee thing, but more as a rape position, especially if there is a female opponent on the ground.

>>977730 >I didn't even see it as a knee thing, but more as a rape position, especially if there is a female opponent on the ground.

>>977716 Disregarding how retarded that take is, it's amusing when people get surprised when a villain does villainous things. I have already seen some shitty dicksword takes that they shouldn't have brought back the classic outfit because it would be "glorifying fascists."

>>977739 >Taking discord tales seriously Man, it's like y'all REALLY like to bait and spew stupid shit just for the sake of it, taking seriously what one random stupid retard says with his shit opinión, and making a fuss about it, goddamn

>>977793 >y'all I'm sorry anon, but it looks like you fell for a master baiter.

>>978010 >y'all is retarddit, shitter or nigger Shit's why these yankee fucks shoulda been gatekept out of polite society, giving our language a bad name. >>977788 Being said, you act like shit takes don't get parroted and pick up traction by virtue of being on the "right side of history." What are you, fresh off the lily fields?

>>978480 t.plebbitor. And thus, retard.

>>977788 I just thought it was funny that they're so stupid. I also know these people from locals, you know, that place you go to play fighting games. (You don't play only online, do you?) To me they're more than just random retards. I tell them they're stupid and pathetic and how they're wrong all the time and then I go 0-2 kick their ass in every bracket.

Why do I never hear any anons, or anyone really, talking about these fighting games and other similar ones of their era? Why has no modern dev tried to replicate something like them?

>>978516 dude looks like an irl Second Life avatar

>>977726 Are they pulling out the visual gag of her wearing 50 pounds of make up just look like her old self? >>977717 >Echo chamber You don't say, lefties love to play retard until you dish it out raw, that's where they get their panties in a knot and throw another peaceful arson to their globohomo sugardaddies. >>977739 And totally ignoring that democracy's chosen people love to wear what Hugo Boss designed.

>>979471 Because, all of those games suck ass by most metrics. If you want to not waste 4 years of your life making a fighting game you have to have a non-lame aesthetic concept with competitive autism, or else it will be dead on arrival.
