The term "Anime Fighter"

I think “well the people playing them say anime games so it can’t be an insult” is kind of a faulty argument when the people playing the games also use terms like “poverty fighter” and “sad life game”.

Gotta reclaim those words man.

MvC2 and MvC3 fit that criteria better than GG lol

And the older marvel games.
Spiral and her stage anyone?

I vote we change the term to “sad life games”

American comic company can’t be an anime fighter. Before you say that they have animes, no, thats actual Y-Men, Sword, and Metal Man. They just got kinda lost in translation.

The term “anime game” needs to be done away with. “Air dash game” sounds better, looks better, and generally describes more accurate what “anime games” are: fast paced, combo heavy, and have a lot of movement options. The Vs. series definitely fits the criteria of ye olde phrase “anime fighter”, but it’s just better to use “air dash fighter/game” as a term instead.

this thread is awful.

theres no point in consolidating marvel games into some umbrella term with anime games. sad to say, but the marvel3 community alone is bigger than AH, MB, GGXX, BB, etc. combined.

when I used to go to MB tournaments, more melty players would play Twinkle Star Sprites on the side than marvel2 (none showed interest in marvel2). the players naturally grouped those games together because anime game players play all the other anime games way more than they play vs games.

I love you Chibi, but I can’t.

I got AH3 running at locals a little while back and I had to stop because fuck girls were walking by.

“Anime” is a very… hard to define term. Marvel should technically be kinda anime but it just ISN’T.

It FEELS Capcom and I can’t think of any other way to describe it. That buttery smooth Capcom feel not present in any “anime” games.

You mean shoddy programming? or that logo?

All I know is anime games have the best boxers. Case in point, these bastards.

This is false. What your seeing are bloomers not panties. Why does everyone always get this shit wrong?

God I miss spiral.

Because if it looks like a duck, so on and so forth. Most people don’t care to look into it any more than that because it really doesn’t matter that much. For how much those bloomers show off they might as well be panties, because if they WERE panties you’d see just as much.

Anime means it’s not the same aesthetics as SF so I won’t play it.
Oh wait a second… this is also “anime”.
Fuck I need to find a new excuse.

Anime means it doesn’t play like Street Fighter so I won’t play it.
Oh wait a second… this game plays exactly like Street Fighter.

Shit another excuse failed. Let’s look for some school girl panty shots to complain about then…
Oh wait a second… FUUUUUUU

So in short “anime game” is a buzzword to cover that you are only interested in 1 or 2 specific games in the genre, and not for their mechanics but because you grew up with the cast.

Truth is the “anime crowd’s” real name is “people who are open minded to many fighting games” because among those people (I’m talking about players, and good ones at that, not weeaboo fans of story mode who don’t play ‘competitively’) you’ll find many SF2 fans, CVS2 fans, VSAV fans, SNK fans and even some 3D FG fans. But not as much the other way around. Most of the Capcom crowd are strictly in for local pop culture. They grew up on the SF cast, and they watched X-Men cartoon on TV. Even if Capcom decided to restore an old franchise like Rival Schools or Cyberbots, it will be a hard sell to these people, regardless of their so called “company loyalty”.
But guess who WILL play these games, if they are actually good? The “anime crowd”!

Dude I’m not excusing it. Not even in the slightest, I’m just saying that playing the game seriously in tournaments with Arturo, Sp00ky, and others of the 'old Team Spooky, well I never felt uncomfortable. Ever. We held plenty tournaments for it and Sp00ky even bought the board for it to promote it too. The passion to play others and enjoy the game overshadowed the moe pom pom check my internet history stigma you were so worried about others people possibly noticing.

I had no issues with your bitching and whining until you bait and switched me with a HNK pic then whatever that dumb shit you linked.

Do not ever and I mean ever pollute HNK with that Loli garbage.
If you bring up HNK, show video for HNK before moving on to whatever anime franchise will never be accepted you want.

Oh damn these two make Remy look butch.

Ah ok? Last time I checked SF players never showed interest in the HNK game (before it turned to shit) or Jojo or all those anime games that didn’t have “loli garbage”. So the point is the excuse will keep changing depending on which game they need to shrug off today.

You sir, are ridiculous.
