Smash isn’t a “fighting” game.
Only part that actually matters, I really don’t care about the cool looking video cut scenes that are there. If I want cool videos I got YouTube
Fighting games, the story is just there for context, playing Fighting games for the Story is alot like watching a Porn for the Story. Yeah its there, but I am not there for the Story I am for the Sweaty Action.
Guilty Gear Xrd Sign / Rev2 have filled the void for me. The joy I used to get just playing the a Street Fighter game and soaking in the lavish visuals, it’s all still there.
Game wise, I could spend more time with them.
For my money (I’ve purchased Guilty Gear Xrd multiple times on multiple systems) Arc System Works is the only fighting game developer on a level comparable to 90’s Capcom and SNK in the current era. The titles have yet to be reduced to mere “Intellectual Property” to be thoughtlessly farmed out to third parties for development, coasting heavily on recycled characters, stages, music, and arcade boomer nostalgia as Street Fighter has been.
Also like the Capcom of old, Arc System Works is putting in the sweat equity to make stunning licensed games as well. For recreation / casuals there is no better game than Dragonball FighterZ. If you know the anime, you know the game, the game delivers all the fan service you expect.
And the ass blasting of trolling my hardcore weeb chums with YamChad will never not fill my heart with glee. I AM TROLLING YOUR CARTOON SHOW CANON! HA HA HAAAAA~!
I dearly wish Capcom would stop sucking and ruining Street Fighter. I won’t even entertain them revitalizing other old franchises, until I trust them to not be a rotten banana peel flopped over the curb gutter trash.
Hopefully Sega does right by Virtua Fighter. It has been too long since VF5, and I do hope they bring back the godlike VF4 Evolution training mode. I just couldn’t click with my boy Wolf as efficiently in VF5 for some reason.
Sad thing is I loved MK9 gameplay more than Street Fighter 4 and 5. But MK10 had to introduce variations, and MK11 had to further with that while dumbing things down. If they had iterated on MK9’s gameplay and reduced flaws, I would probably be in heaven by now with MK11. I appreciate them trying to innovate, but I really wish they would go back.
Double post, but how has this only been dealt with now?
Maybe I’m naive, but the speed in which they removed that clause and fired the person who refused the family leads me to the head cemetery guy really didn’t know that rule was on the books. How do you not know that though? And also, have NO black people wanted to be buried in that cemetery ever? Seriously, what the hell?
The variation system in MKX came about because a lot of characters in MK9 literally had no answer to the tools of others. Try fighting Cyrax or Kabal as Jade or Sheeva. It’s not fun.
I get that. But the way they implemented it wasn’t a good way to balance things compared to just giving weak characters more tools to begin with, or nerfing powerful characters.
On paper, with variations, you’d assume each character gets 3 variations with a wide variety of moves that can counter different things. No. They took what would have been one Mortal Kombat 9 character, and split up the special moves across “variations”. This leads to some variations no one in their right mind would use for any situation, while not curbing the basic fact that some characters just have a natural advantage given their base move set.
So the money I saved for three 30 day bottles of medication would’ve paid for SexBox and PS5…the fuck!
Uh, excuse me? Does it have Ryu in it? Can you do a hadouken? Yes?
FIGHTING GAME.
…damn that’s some sound logic 
So ,by this way of thinking, is tekken 7 a capcom vs snk 3 demo?
No, it’s a Metrovania, Samus and 2 different Belmonts are in it.
Ehrgeiz
God Bless the Ring!
I will never forgive:
If only 3D fighting games (spatial meaning, not polygon presentation meaning) managed to find footing and not intimidate the FGC smooth brains. 
Secretly, I admire Ehrgeiz being the bastard link between Tekken and Final Fantasy game universes. At least if I recall correctly, Godhand aka Ken Mishima was an implied or direct descendent of the lawn dart head lineage of Mishima Zaibatsu.
Damn it. Now I want to pop in Ehrgeiz and fart around. . .
That was such a good game.
I think there is a love for battle royal type games like ehrgeiz and the vastly superior power stone.
I mean what i like about these types of fighters is rhe spacing.
I like that yakuza is evolved die hard arcade. Sega really needs to make a wrestling game again
Hard pass on Powerstone.
I had high hopes for that going into the arcade, played it and was unimpressed with how Capcom approached the game mechanics and environmental interaction.
A better example for me is War of the Monsters on PS2. Fun characters. Solid game mechanics. Lots of environmental interaction. God damned pity Sony is too inept to revitalize, or put to use a perfectly fine game property in an era of online multiplayer…
I always wondered what the deal was with Ken Mishima. Namco developed Ergheiz, for some crazy reason I thought Square made the game all these years. They should throw Ken in T7 as a joke character 
Godhand is no joke son! 
Ehrgeiz had a lot of legit great character designs, and Godhand just being fighting game Cobra is godtier! Would be funny to see them waste the effort to add a “story” component where-in typical Mishima fashion he pulls some Terminator gimmick to travel back in time to kill a Mishima patriarch. 
I would without hesitation buy Godhand day one if they put him in Tekken 7. It may ease the suffering of trying to learn Master Raven and failing due to lack of lab time and interestest in playing the lesser 3D fighter series Tekken.
VF master race, out!
I’d rather they put in the REAL Godhand
Godhand is not God Hand. The virgin Capcom fears the righteous legal action of the Chad Namco.
Thou shall worship no false idols, and master basic English. It’s even specified in your linked video. . . 
Really need a kaijuXmecha game
Those gundam vs games are nothing without g gundam
Watching Frosty Faustings GG AC+ finals. Man i miss this OST and this game!
