Why doesn't /vr/ talk about fighting games?
I see even more STG threads

>> No.10585870

I don't know hat the fuck you mean, I always felt like fighting games were one of the most discussed genres here

>> No.10585913

I've never been into fightan games but it's tempting to find an active retro one on fightcade to get into

>> No.10585993

>>10585867
/vr/ talks about them but not in the typical hyper-competitive fgc way, its usually either about the impact they had back then, appreciating the whole game than just the 1v1 aspect and the usual "my fav fighting game>your fav fighting game" fanboy-shit flinging.

>> No.10585996

i like them but i don't play that many fightan games cus i don't have too many people to play with and playing solo is kinda pointless

It's not like I never get to see them. But by only playing a computer you will never know how fun the genre can really be.

>> No.10587396

Its pretty much impossible to play most of these retro fighters with anyone nowadays, even fightcade doesnt support a whole lot. Most of the content is packed in the single player anyway, I play modern fighting games too so its not like im completely mindless mashing buttons or anything

The same can be said for any game with local multiplayer, at some point you're just not going to experience it anymore.

The problem with fighting game discussion is that modern fags only ever want to talk about the same two game series and it's almost always in context of jacking off some streamer pro gamer faggots instead of the games themselves.

>> No.10588986

>>10588226
Agreed. The same can be said for any multi-player game of any kind. Playing a set of computer algorithms is never going to be anywhere near as interesting or fun as playing a living thinking human.

And yet that's all I will ever know of most games. The only time I really complain is when a fighting game has multiplayer ONLY characters.

That's why I said what probably came across as trolling but I meant it sincerely that I feel bad for you not getting to experience the full potential of how fun these games are.

Speaking of, what is your ideal single player mode?
>Mission based (SFA3, SC)
>Story Mode (Jojo)
>Wildly rearranged gameplay style (Tekken, Ehrgeiz, Abalaburn, Tobal
>Boss-based (Red Earth)

Tourney-fag here, i agree that good single player in fighting games is underrated. I don't like playing vs arcade mode that much, but i love stuff like Soul Calibur's or VF4's Quest Mode.

No, I think I'm having a lot more fun just beating up CPU in various ways with various characters rather than getting destroyed by a sweatlord who uses the most unfun tactics available, just so he can win.
I do enjoy playing locally against the few friends that I have though.

Nta but I haven't seen any alpha 3 fightcade lobby that isn't full of sweats doing V-ism infinite bullshit. I only play public lobbies with random pubs if I know the game like the back of my hand or it's brand new.
