Looking to get back into a fighting game ...what should it be?

I really liked Marvel vs Capcom 3 but I ended up playing other games when ultimate came out and never really put enough time into it . What fighting game is best competitively right now and community wise ? Is it still mainly UMVC3 and SSFAE ? I own both of these games. I am an avid/player watcher of Dota 2 LoL and SC2 so having a big community is important to me from what I have seen of fighting tournaments the fans/atmosphere is extremely amazing like nothing ive seen. If I was going to sink a massive amount of time into UMVC3 or SSF4 Id really like for there to be a lot of pro streams and tournaments to help me improve and for entertainment SS4 seems to be winning that category.

It seems to me that SS4 is the bigger game for a longer period of time, but I loved MVC3 …what are the pros and cons with each game ? Is UMVC3 worth playing still ? Is the community large enough and the game balanced enough ? Or should I head straight to SS4 especially since ultimate is coming soon ?

Go ask you local scene, ask the people you played marvel with if they still play, your best bet is to play what they’re playing.

If you don’t have a local scene then I wouldn’t play marvel because the online will melt your brain.

SFIV is a safe bet because it’s unlikely the community will shrink with ultra coming out, besides that Skullgirls on steam has a fair amount of players if you can get over playing against nothing but solo squiggly.

unfortunately I dont live anywhere with a scene…wish I did though

it will all be online for me

if I wanted to play skullgirls would my ps3 fight stick work on PC ?

Get on GGPO and play KOF98 or ST.

If you are going online, Skullgirls is by far the best. It uses GGPO, and it has a great player base.

AE2012 (Ultra) and Marvel.

I’m surprised that Running Wild didn’t say 3s.

Is Marvel worth playing online ? Or should I look at a different game. Someone in here mentioned that Marvel online wasnt great.

Did you read the forum rules?

^-- That.

Final answer: Fighting Is Magic.
