fighting games moved away from a focus on fundamentals and grounded play. most new fighting games have some kind of gimmick that completely dictates the flow of matches and takes away from the original fundamentals of spacing, footsies, whiff punishing and yomi. maybe that's what OP prefers.

Don't listen to them, OP. I didn't grow up with arcades but I feel the exact same way. 3D fighters are so bland compared to the charm of a good 2D fighter. Usually these games are more mechanically complex than the later titles and offer more in term of character variety. Not to mention that sprite art just looks gorgeous on a good CRT. The day I build myself a decent PC, I'll be kicking back with some fightcade.

balance isn't the issue in new fighting games. it makes a game more fun to have every character be viable instead of one character objectively being best due to some broken tools or developer oversight. It does suck when games are constantly micromanaged and rebalanced for the sake of keeping tournaments exciting, but that's more a case of fucking with a balanced game to cause upsets and "hype".

Late era 2d fighting games were best, games like garou, kof98 and third strike. I don't think we'll ever hit that level of smooth gameplay and timeless crisp graphics again. everything moved so fluidly including animated cloth "physics" on sprites. Music was at its best and games had deep mechanics that still let the fundamentals of spacing and zoning shine. Something changed in the early 2000s and fighting games have sucked since. Earlier 2D fighting games had too much janky shit like random stun and random damage to be worth playing seriously.

They don't make old fighting games like they use to, because people are still playing those old games. Why make more games play like Super Turbo, GarouSpe, KoF98, Third Strike,... When people are still playing those games anyway.
Also don't be afraid of gimmicks. Something like Rival Schools is full of gimmicks (Tardy Counters, Air Combos with launchers, Team Attacks) but incredibly simple to play, something like Virtua Fighter looks simple to pick up but is very hard to get good at.
Fighting games are fun because they're all simple, yet still feel different to play.

confirmed for never being around arcades

there was always an alpha dog type motherfucker who bodied everybody and the guy always had his dickriders

only thing that kept everything in check was that arcades were a business, and anyone with a quarter was able to play

but some arcades had house rules and sometimes these were posted on the cabs sometimes. i.e. no throws, no sonya juggles, etc...

that might be because there was a ten year drought in the 2000s where the only fighter of note to come out was Smash until Street Fighter 4 came out which revitalized the genre. Up until then it was Marvel 2, CvS2, GGXX, SF3 and ST at Evo almost every year consistently which wasn't a bad thing because those games are fucking awesome but what few fighters came out couldn't get any traction and grow.

I had the same problem at first.

For me, a good transition was sf2 to sf3 third strike. played a lot of ken and akuma(gouki), then tried akuma in tekken 7 and started learning the fundamentals.

I think it comes from a place of being comfortable with a character being designed around a more compromised moveset.

those are great games on their own but none of them were taken seriously as competitive games here in the west except for maybe Tekken 5, and even then DR only got a PSP release so that was hardly good for the game. Lack of competition is sorely felt moreso in a fighting game than any other genre, especially since this was back before proper netplay existed to fill that gap.

Tekken 5 on PS3 was released the same year as Tekken 6, so that didn't last very long. Things may have been different in France and they were certainly different in Japan and Korea where arcades still exist and the population density was smaller, but outside of a few hotspots like NY and LA arcades were dead so games lived and died based on their console ports, at least in the 2000s. In the 90s arcades were still around and almost indisputably the best versions of the game but that dropped off hard.

This. Newer Mortal Kombat and SF games look awful and boring, with an incredibly shitty artstyle, which is amazing in the case of Capcom, who had some of the best artist in the medium. Even Bengus has become bad for some weird reason.

Music is very bad now too, with no memorable or distinct themes like the originals. They are afraid of being cheesy and not being taken seriously if they make catchy themes, so they put generic background action music to avoid getting any atention.

They were made to be approachable and comprehensible to people walking past the cabinet that had never seen a fighting game before and suck their quarters out. You were a minor wizard if you could do any of the special moves among your group of kids and little in the way of meta had developed, so a slower pace was more palatable than it would be later. Most of the mechanics now are a tower of babel piled on top of each other to make things more interesting to the people that breathe the games, which they pretty much had to do but makes it into what may as well be learning a new language to people on initial approach. The walk up and play angle from the arcade has fallen off as things became more console centered, to say nothing of how the internet hivemind has changed the approach to everything. Like others have said the presentation has also fallen off a lot in the 2d now 3d fighters, both because it's cheaper and because it's not relying on the 5 second impression as you walk by to draw you in.

It's ironic that the changes to modern fighting games to make them more approachable actually make them needlessly convoluted and one dimensional, and are part of the reason the genre is on life support. Anyone can understand the fundamentals of street fighter 2's fireballs and uppercuts, but modern fighters are all about frame data and comeback mechanics.

I blame Esports and over reliance of online play. I get these games are meant to be played with real people and Im not saying online shouldn't be an essential component but it shouldn't be the only component. These games have become less about people having fun and more about sucking off the next big shill for some shitty game that gets the most views online.

netcode is one of the few things I can agree on as being important for modern fighting games. Realistically the vast majority of the playerbase fight online, locals and arcades are mostly dead, and it sucks to have connections drop or inputs get eaten by a shitty infrastructure. I agree with the majority of what you say though, the devs of guilty gear summed it up quite well with "wild vs mild". Guilty gear was always about being wild, and making big changes just for the fun of it. With the shift towards esports and pros literally using the games as their only income, it wasn't responsible of them to make deliberately unbalanced games just for fun so there was a change towards mild balance changes and a more tame experience.

That's all I do. I can't put in the hours to compete online, but I can iterate techniques until even the cheap shit of Seth or Gill doesn't stop me. And when I beat the end boss satisfactorily with most of the roster, well, then the game is done and I play something else until maybe I want to play some friends at it.
It's a video game, not a lifestyle choice. I don't want to grind out 1-frame links and perfect footsies into FADCs for 4 hours a night to keep my Ultra Platinum or whatever.
I want 10 fights and a goofy end sequence. I want a toe tapping soundtrack to unique backdrops and wildly variable characters. I want costume unlocks as rewards for skill, not grinding FM.

Games have a lot of characters, moves, and efforts put into them nowadays. Characters are also selling points (or outright sold as DLC), so it makes sense developers try to keep the roster balanced and every character a viable option. Also unbalanced and broken games are only fun if you're screwing around. In competitive context, a lot of players will "play to win" (ugh) and pick top tiers. If the game is unbalanced you'll end up fighting the same broken-ass characters all the time.
Nowadays devs have a ton of metrics to know if the game is well-balanced and will react accordingly since you can patch games on the fly over the internet. They don't just listen to "the whims of streamers and tournament players". It fucking sucks when your main get nerfed the fuck out, but I'll always appreciate the effort. It's better than resorting to house rules (banned characters, no throws, no turtling,...) like back in the days.

Online play is the primary vehicle now, and it emulates tournament autism instead of playing with your friends on the couch or in the arcade. If you like the game enough to stick with it for more than 30 minutes you'll quickly get spun up on the tryhard path and get waist deep in learning the terminology and how to do everything "properly," leaving a huge no mans land between interested and not. It was generally a lot more enjoyable when you were up against what your friends could figure out themselves, locals are a bit of a misnomer now when it's largely the online hivemind doing the heavy lifting in getting people up to speed. It also probably doesn't help knowing exactly how much you suck, both in being able to see top level tournaments and having precise ladder positions. Finally taking down your brothers friends older cousin probably doesn't have the same feeling of triumph as when he was legitimately the best person you knew at the game, the dynamic shifts when it's reduced to "oh he's 2k mmr and I'm 1.6." It's far more a test of how well you execute other peoples ideas instead of what you and him figured out about it outside of the very top level, making it far more impersonal, to say nothing of the lack of human presence next to you all along the way. The combination of willingness to play for hours and lack of outside knowledge isn't replicatable I don't think, making for a far more unsatisfying and literal ladder climb compared to the older more figurative one.

I don't understand not playing to win, so I might be one of "those" players, but generally agree with you. I find usually when something you really liked about your main got nerfed, that's exactly why it happened. The move was unbalanced enough that it both wasn't fair in a competitive context which in turn would make players of that character rely too heavily on it. A nerfing is just another opportunity to learn new things about the character.

That said I'm happy NRS never figured out how broken Wonder Woman's air dash was.

I can understand that attitude but mine is polar opposite. Not that I didn't love the couch fun locals we had a lot back in the day and the rare time it happens now, but over time I got a little bored mostly playing the same people over and over. As well, not that I take them very seriously in a large context but I really really like fighting games so I've played them a lot over the years and more than most of my other friends. It makes it a lot less fun to fight your buddies when you know you can trounce them.

Now with solid online though I can fight and endless stream of people which suits me perfectly. I like finding that one guy who's just better enough that if I'm really on my A game I can eek out a win.

A lot of newer fighting games balance their gameplay mechanics by making things that are easy to do, bad, and things that are harder to do, better, damage-wise. Not that they're altogether hard, per se, but you aren't going to get the same gain from footsies and individual buttons that you are from long combos and fancy setplay--whereas an older game can make an art form out of using individual buttons and spacing effectively, and nothing else. In most newer games, this is the exception to the rule. Likely reason being the developers want their animations and effects to come on-screen, and the game to appear "deep" with the use of predetermined strats like the above, for the sake of generating excitement either in hyping up the game itself in promotional material or drawing attention to the competitive following.

That and meter management, and a genre-wide fetish for "optimizing" everything you do. Fishing for combos in older games is a surefire way to get baited and stomped, but that's where your only damage is going to be in a newer one.

Buffs can work too but it gets tricky because it can throw the balance even more out of whack. If Ryu's hurricane kick has something unbalanced about it its far easier to just remedy that than go and give every other character something as broken. And like I say, if you needed that broken move to win then I think you kinda sucked or weren't trying anyways.

The "playing to win" is a nod to the infamous Sirlin article about the correct way to play fighting games.

I don't know about you but I just like playing the game so even if I don't talk to them (which is an option sometimes too) I just like getting to play against another human player somewhere. To me how they play is what stands out and you tend to remember user names. Back playing Injustice there was a guy like I described who I would match with a lot and could win about 1 game in 4 when I was having a good night. And that guy won the Injustice Evo that year. None of my friends could put up a challenge like that and that's what I'm really playing for.

Not saying tournaments don't have their appeal, they are pretty damned cool in many regards and it makes sense why the actual best congeal to play each other. But a lot of them came up in the before times when lower level play was actually fun and grew with the games from when everyone was bad, and probably made a lot of in person friends (and enemies) along with it. The top level stuff basically lives on interest of a large number of lower levels, which I think is why Smash especially has been as persistent as it has been. If that group disappears pretty much everything else will with it, and from what I see the future doesn't look too bright in that regard, especially once the world runs out of largely cut off places like Pakistan. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out over the next couple decades but maybe the FGC was a one time deal.

SF2 is probably the gateway most people should go through just because nearly all games coming after bear its mark in some way. From concepts to timing.

Its also a satisfying game that doesn't feel too bad dealing with the computer AI to learn the game. You don't automatically feel like you've been cheated when you lose like some other fight games from SNK or the MK series.

Hopefully this doesn't seem too crazy. There are a few major parts of every traditional fighting game. A poke is a move that a player can use outside of a combo to get some quick damage without getting very close. Some pokes are much more safe than others just like supers, specials, etc. A safe move, taunt, etc. is just something that can't put its user in a bad position like eating damage. A counter poke is just hitting the opponent with your poke when he tries to poke you. Canceling is when the player stops the frames (animation) of a move to do another move. This is really important. If you can't cancel, you're done. Baiting is what it sounds like. You make your opponent do something and then destroy him for it. This can be done with conditioning, which is repeatedly doing something to make your opponent think you'll do it one more time, or just good movement works as well. Punishing describes harming your opponent for doing something unsafe like not hitting you with a move or hitting you with a move that is really slow. There's a bunch of other things you should also know, but you can look up all this stuff. Fighting games have really wild depth and human opponents make it really wild. Just make sure to have fun. If you're not having fun, stop.

>I would almost be tempted to say Mortal Kombat .... Also it's AI sucks but all AI sucks and on lower difficulties it's plenty easy for a beginner.

the AI is a killing reason. I like early MK but am still prejudiced against block buttons. Especially for a total beginner.

Also, I feel like there has to be some truth that the fact of the game features fighting is not the appeal, because many games could be dictated by fighting, like what we now call beat-em-ups. But part of the appeal is the artistic showcase of the martial arts on display, particularly exotic and not widely known or seen martial arts.

So in a way, a fighting game is also an immediate gratification of adolescent question of "who would win in a fight of these hero characters," which can launch an immediate debate on those characters attributes.

Thats one reason why SNK games still persist is because their character designers really seemed to understand that when they worked with their artists and animators. Its not enough that they are different, there has to be a why and how that they are different that either makes sense in a narrative way, or in a kinetic way to the player. SF2 is really the launching ground for that being done successfully (even though a few tried as far back as yie ar kung fu in 1985), and SNK really pushed those attributes across multiple titles.

However, the novel appeal of that debate/comparison of fighting style has broken down over time just due to the internet and the exposure of and cultural spread of different martial arts around the world, with movies, newer and more exotic fighting games, and then the arrival of MMA. Its just not as fresh an idea because more and more people have a basic familiarity with at least a handful of martial arts now, compared to /vr/ adolescence.

Good place to start is probably just learning all your different attacks. Know what all the buttons do, the range on your attacks, and a general idea of when to use them. Then focus on mastering the special inputs. You don't need to be perfect to beat the CPU obviously, a lot of that is just figuring out how to exploit the AI, but if you want to play against other people you'll want to be able to do your specials 100% of the time from both sides. It makes fighting the CPU more fun too when you can do all the moves.

If you want to get more seriously into fighting games, Gief's Gym is a good guide for Street Fighter V. Some of the lessons, especially the early ones, should help with basic concepts across different games. But playing SFV or some other modern fighting game with other beginners playing and a large, active community would be good for learning. You'll learn a lot faster playing against human opponents.

Bitch please, even back then people complained about spamming fireballs and using jab dps in super turbo.
Fighting games were new back then and one of the few competitive games around.
After that people lost interest because more competitive genres were available and fighters were getting old for people who can't appreciate nuance and only look for innovation.
After that fighting games become more complex since that was appealing for existing fans and getting new fans was already a lost cause.
The fighting games of today are in a weird place in which they can't be SF2 simple because skilled players could find it boring but adding too much complexity makes it impossible for new players and those out of the loop to win.
However tekken 7 was a huge success and it is incredibly convoluted

I really think MK's AI gets a bad rap compared to others. All AI sucks and old AI in particular and they also all pull the same tricks of input reading and cheating on charge moves etc. At high difficulties it's pointless because winning becomes just knowing how to exploit whatever that game's AI is worst at. At lower levels though which a beginner would use MK isn't much worse than anything else.

The block button, lack of diagonals and other things I fully agree with and why I didn't recommend it.

I don't know if I am alone with this but I think there are too many characters in modern fighting games. You can almost get anxiety just by looking at the character select screen. I believe that SF Champion Edition had possibly the right amount of characters. With less characters it's more easy to make them more iconic and memorable, like the original SF 2, Soul Edge, Darkstalkers or Art of Fighting casts.

Professional argon rarely has true direct equivalents. yomi is not just mind-reading, it's a term with very specific connotations inside the fighting community. Just like programmers all around the word say "parse" regardless of how the word translates intot heir own langauges, fighting game enthusiasts use Japanese terminology even when the terms are pretty easy tot ranslate to the user's language.

Weird example to choose, since English is the world's business language and programming has worldwide applications.
Anyways, using yomi is weird and unnecessary because fighting games (and video games as a whole) aren't inherently Japanese. They're not inseparable from Japanese culture like kendo, sumo or shogi, otherwise Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct wouldn't exist. I have the same issue with weebs who use tate/yoko for shmups, Japs didn't invent the concept of vertical and horizontal, just like they didn't invent the concept of anticipating your opponent's next possible moves.

They could almost well be, since almost nobody outside America play Mortal Kombat and the likes, and the only reason it became a genre is SF2.
I'm European and we use Japanese (yomi, okizeme,...), English (crossup, rushdown, stun,...), and local slang. It's a fucking mess but it's fine because it's a jargon everyone understands.

You're brain damaged, and you missed the most important part. There is nothing inherently Japanese about fighting games, otherwise MK and KI wouldn't exist. Hell, look at JRPG fans. Japanese is literally in the name, it's a literal prerequisite to the genre, and you don't see them saying "keikenchi kasegi wo suru" to refer to grinding. Because Jap words aren't integral to understanding video games, using them unnecessarily just shows everyone how much of a weird, pretentious weeb you are. Games aren't anime you fucking cunt.

That move is a 50/50, what way he has to block is unknown to the Ken player. Basically Vega's Flying Barcelona Attack forces the opponent to guess correctly, if they guess correctly and block the right way the Vega will eat a massive punish, but if incorrectly blocked the Vega gets basically a free hit. That guy just happened to be incredibly unlucky and the Vega was able to keep spamming the move as he kept risking that the Ken would guess wrong.

This is because fighting games are proxy violence for blacks. The nerdy black kids still want to be gangsters so they use street fighter in place of brawling and the NBA.

Jesus, there are so many stigmas being spouted by people who have clearly never sunk more than ten hours into a modern fighting game. Even then there are still fighters closer to oldschool games, like SamSho and arguably Granblue. It always surprises me when people complain about excessive mechanics when I legitimately get excited realizing there's a ton of different offensive and defensive options to utilize and master, or multiple combos with different routes and enders.

All this complaining really just shows how many people never played beyond arcade or a few friends. You can go through solid tutorials pretty fast and then study up on a single BnB or two. Tekken has 100 moves, but you can mash while focusing on fundamentals at a low level, or look at a top 10 list. Fighting games are easier than ever to get into, despite the additional layers to digest.

Except DLC makes it more important not to balance characters. Sell a few broken characters, maybe nerf them a bit but make them good enough for esports play and people will buy them because of it. People seeing DLC characters fighting on stream are more likely to buy those characters than if they only appear once or twice a day. DLC makes imbalance more profitable as long as you don't push them completely over the edge.

>Why do modern fighters suck
Too much focus on masturbation and not enough on core gameplay. SF2 works because it has very limited combos and movement. You're not having to dash all over the place like in tekken or learn 20 input combos. You can immediately understand what you're seeing and why X works and Y doesn't. Modern games are so much adding "depth" that the core gameplay disappears entirely. SF3 and Marvel killed the genre. SF4 rerolled back to SF2 and tried again but the damage was already done. Devs have lost sight of what matters while fanboys think 1 hit and then comboing to death is "fun" i.e. marvel vs capcom style. Players don't like watching their opponent jerk off for 10 seconds because they got jabbed. Combos over 5 hits unless some of them are a multi hit single move like a dragon punch aren't fun to be hit by and make the game more about who can be king autist rather than who can outplay the other.

And why would someone sink ten hours into a game they didn't enjoy? Ten hours is a solid game length for most games, not the starting point to have fun. People who like SF2 aren't suddenly going to like Tekken 7s shuffling and joystick waggling because they played ten hours of it.

>>6355656
Are you? If you enjoyed being competitive you would pick something competitive to compete in. Fighting games are the biggest loser competitions. They're not taken seriously because they're for chumps sitting in their mothers basement or Capcom marketeers propping up losers living in the ghetto on their mothers sofa. Even shit like star craft and CS go are a joke and they have real backing.

>>6355675
That sounds terribly repetitive and the same bad memory games needed. Let's say jump kick, low kick into a punch then a fireball should be the base line. That's a reasonable combo for a beginner to learn and something you can play around with for different situations. Dial a combo is awful and combos need to be more organic based, preferably discovered by players not tutorialized. The reason sf4 did so well is it pulled combos back closer to sf2 than the shit ts had.

>preferably discovered by players not tutorialized
You do realize that all combos -are- player discovered right? Tutorial combos are almost entirely discarded within days.

Rev2's gatling system would be the definition of organic given how many different buttons you can confirm off of, and Tekken's not a bad example either given so many moves interconnect with each other. Being able to act off of all your tools is hardly repetitive.

And how the fuck is LINKING supposed to feel organic, when it could be argued you're needlessly turning combos into rhythm games?

Combos haven't been player discovered for a long time now. They're built right into the design documents for each character. They don't add everyone of them to the move list because they're already too large but they're sure as fuck planned out. Other wise you couldn't balance characters in games focused on combos for damage.

It depends on the game. Injustice had a pretty fluid combo system and even though there were ones it lists in the character bios, once you're familiar it was pretty easy to figure out your own. I used mostly custom Wonder Woman combos in that game that I never saw anyone else do.

>Except DLC makes it more important not to balance characters. Sell a few broken characters, maybe nerf them a bit but make them good enough for esports play and people will buy them because of it. People seeing DLC characters fighting on stream are more likely to buy those characters than if they only appear once or twice a day. DLC makes imbalance more profitable as long as you don't push them completely over the edge.

Mechanic inflation, the more spectacle-focused fighting games (Melty Blood, Guilty Gear, etc) rely far too much on dexterity and the overly-busy animations make them very mentally draining to play. Just thinking about them crushes my will to stay awake.

>It always surprises me when people complain about excessive mechanics when I legitimately get excited realizing there's a ton of different offensive and defensive options to utilize and master, or multiple combos with different routes and enders
I'm very much a casual when it comes to fighting games, but like any genre I belive there does reach a point where there can be so much going on with a game that it becomes becomes far harder to want to penetrate than I think is reasonable for a lot. Like BlazBlue which doubled down on the mechanical complexity it's predecessor was known for by the time you get to Central Fiction. There are a plethora of system mechanics to manage and internalize and that's before you touch your characters which are generally very specific in playstyle and unique mechanics with individual meters and resources to manage. It's not impossible but it's very cumbersome

Even titles that don't have nearly as much going on like Killer Instinct 2013 can add wrinkles that run very deep. Combo Breakers are great because they allow for strong defensive reactions to pressure, but there's a lot to learn regarding when to break, what strength to break with, and what each character's moveset is so you can recognize the former two situations. On top of the opponent being able to counter-break if they make a good read using the same information

I know this is purely subjective, and I love GG and KI a lot specifically because of strong character specific mechanics and good base systems. But it also took me years to actually understand those games and in the case of GG, since I started on the PS2 I never even understood there were things like Guts ratings until the wii version of Accent core rolled around so on top of fighting games potentially scaring off players with the amount of mechanics. Some aren't good at signalling what is happening behind the hood. Although that's less an issue with the rise of in-game glossaries and better tutorials.

2D fighters are always better with 2D graphics because the limited plane and snappy animations make much more sense when traditionally animated and the presentation style of fighting games makes them the absolute best place to show off beautiful 2D visuals.
modern 2D fighting games with 3D graphics completely miss the mark. the benefits of 3D graphics are completely incompatible with this specific style of presentation.
so the newer street fighters look like hot vomit, and they still play like street fighter minus some fuckery so why bother playing the newer one? same with the other franchises, even the ones that use pseudo 2D cel-shading. it can look pretty good, but even at its best it's knockoff 2D graphics in a game that has no reason not to be 2D anyway so again - why bother playing the newer one? it's the same fucking game every few years anyway. why the fuck would I ever play a KOF with worse graphics, identical gameplay and less characters than KO98? that'd be fucking stupid.

SNK didn't have any money because they kept releasing the same game every single year back to back with less features and characters plus the need to rehash old assets just to make the deadline.

If they gave their games proper dev cycles of years, then the product would have come out better in both presentation and probably gameplay.

The difference is that Capcom didn't title their revisions like brand new games, and generally added more than they took away with each revision. They also took the time between brand new games to substantially increase the quality of both the presentation and the gameplay, definitively. These are things SNK couldn't be counted on for.
Both companies however usually reset the amount of content between games.

Fighting games were being treated kinda like Anime episodes in the 90s that way they kept both operators, casuals and tourneytards happy.

Wrong, there are several changes.
>Sasquatch, Gallon, and Aulbath were removed and replaced with Pyron, Phobos, and Donovan
>Oboro Bishamon is playable
>Pushblock is different, MUCH harder to use making pressure more difficult to deal with
>removal of the jump attack chain system outside of dark force and the switch to a jump attack links system for air combo system
>ground dash links are almost entirely gone, only a few are now exclusive to Bulleta
>throw are not jump escape, throw loops are incredibly difficult to escape from
>many balance changes, most notable is Zabel's unblockable was removed
Overall Vsav2 is just the inferior experience, while some low tiers had nice buffs they're actually even worse off now thanks to how difficult pushblock became, making pressure even stronger then before. To add to this throw loops broken beyond belief, characters like Bishamon and Felicia rule the game with their ability to tick throw repeatedly and safely.

MvC3 has problems no doubt, but they're problems you can work though. And honestly, it's more balanced than 2 was because as much as people talk about Doom/Morrigan or Zero May Cry, there's way more teams that work on a competitive level in that game than in 2.

Helps that the game is fucking beautiful thanks to the cel-shaded comic artstyle.

Man people shit on SFIV now, and I get why because that game had serious problems and not just that it was too defensive, but they need to understand how badly we needed fresh blood in 2D fighters when it came out. There's a reason everyone jumped ship from Third Strike when it came out. Third Strike was awesome but people didn't want to play it FOREVER.

blame David Sirlin for this. Guy kept bragging in game design classes he made a card game with the same name and said it meant "reading the mind of the opponent" which became a meme way back when. He unfortunately had a big presence in early FGC (and maybe now. Don't keep up with their shenanigans due to waning interest in the genre) due to being one of the few who could talk about fighting games back in the day without sounding like a sperg.

My favorite isn't /vr/ related but my favorite /vr/ one is Pocket Fighters. Call me a pleb but I loved the self referential combos, the cross over cast, fighters getting burned/electrocuted/flattened, the stages, and the overall "fun" atmosphere of it. The Console version had an RPG mode that I enjoyed when I was younger too, and it's one of the only FGs where I bothered to do the survival mode because the further you progressed the more of the gigantic stage you'd get to see.

Waku Waku 7 is pretty close up there as well but I didn't play it as much as PF.

Pocket Fighter is a solid game, nothing wrong with liking it. I genuinely think it's the perfect game to introduce people to the genre, I've played it with both casuals and hardcore fighting game players and always have had a a blast with whoever since it's just such a simple, silly game. I really think Capcom was on to something with the three button scheme and it would have been nice to see it continued in some way, it's simple enough to introduce people easily to the idea of fighting games but not dumbed down to the point where strategy is removed.

You might prefer how the art styles look in the 2D games compared to, say, Street Fighter V. Alternatively, you may prefer the game style of fewer hits ending a round -- fighting games as a whole have increasingly moved in the direction of several lengthy combos per round.

because on fightcade, not even regulars properly know that game, you would expect all the regulars to pull some awesome shit at you but nope all they do is nothing, probably because of the game, i know its a shit complain but that game has weird stage to character size ratio, like one can run all they want and characters like sagat have so shit jump arc that you can easily get zoned out and thats the real problem, go try to play on fightcade, all those players would literally do nothing but bore you to death, would keep running and fire ball you which will neither hurt you nor will let you get close, and thats literally it, they all do, i mean how do you even play these games when you dont even want to do fight, they keep running running and running frustrating you to death and force you to make mistakes and you will lose, and amazingly you can easily win by doing the same thing, but its fucking boring,

that game is weird, encourages you to some really shit moves and play retardedly,
but those complains probably only apply to fightcade, but still it baffles me, because even on fightcade if you play some obscure game, you will find some really good player that will show you actual skill ceilings of that game,
i have seen breakers revenge, kizuna encounter and fatal fury special, and was always amazed at them like, wow doods how did you even learned that stuff, amazing,
but in alpha 3 fuck them they just keep running
literally all rounds last like 90 seconds fuck it,
i actually learned sagat vism combo before going online but i was really disappointed, i only once played a good player but he never comes now, and instead i find him in 3s room but in 3s hes kinda average, oh well.
in almost all classic fighting games you will kind of automatically get good if you play enough but not this game nope

Street Fighter 1 only has Ryu & Ken as playable characters

are fuckin retarded? All the new characters are new additions.

SF3 on the other hand, REPLACED the roster with entirely new characters. In fact, the devs originally didn't even want to include Ryu or Ken, but decided against it.

And if you actually saw an original cab for SF3 you would realize that was their intent. The cab simply had a roman 3, and the words:

III: NEW GENERATION.

Many couldn't even tell it was a Street Fighter game until they say Ryu and Ken in-game.
