Let’s see I have SSIV, BB CT (I’m going to get CS soon), Garou MOW, GGXXAC+, KOF98UM, KOF 94-98. I think I’m forgetting some, but okay this is what I remember. I know I’m not completely unfamiliar with fighters, so I know most of the time what I’m doing.
Another thing is I don’t know where to start. Practice on executing moves? Combos? Well I guess first I need to pick a game. Any help?
Also I only have a arcade stick for my PS3. Garou is for the 360, and guilty gear & KOF collection is for the Wii, but I have a arcade stick for it, just not modded with sanwa. KOF 98UM is for the PS2, which since I am not experienced am unable to make my own stick and I have no clue where to buy one.
Thank You very much, I don’t have much atm so sorry if my question has been answered somewhere else.
Hm, I thought I would get this response. But it didn’t hurt to ask, right? I thinking what would be good for a beginner like me. If anyone thinks of anything just post if you want I thinking of just going w/ SSIV… unless some persuades me otherwise
ssf4 has the biggest community going right now, however most of the players are mashers. This is due to the fact that the games fighting engine is really really bad. The upside is that since its the most common game you can actually find higher level opponents who are fun to play against.
Ooops, sorry for saying the same thing again. I’m a little indecisive and maybe the lack of sleep has got to me, haha
Anyways I just found out that my cousin has taken some of my games without asking
Thanks for the help
You can play anything as long as you are willing to put in the work. My first fighting game was Guilty Gear XX #Reload (and GGXX slash like a month later), and while it was very daunting to try to learn the game without even knowing how to do a proper quarter circle motion consistently, learning that game and the mechanics for the different characters gave me a solid enough understanding of the genre to play pretty much any other 2d fighter.
Look and see if there is a local scene and play whatever game they play (most likely SSF4), good luck finding anyone to play GGXX or Garou (outside of GGPO) with you for instance. You’ll have much more fun if you find local people to play with than if you play random people online.
Just a note: imho, I think there are three kinds of fighting games: First is your classic, 2D fighter. KOF, SF, etc. fall in this category. usually nothing too fancy and is fairly basic. Second, is your aerial rave fighters such as GG, BB, Vs. titles, anime titles like Melty Blood, etc. These fighters are over the top, always 2d, most of the time unbalanced, and feature an intense combo system that allows “aerial raves”. Third, is your 3d technicals: Tekken, DOA, Virtua Fighter, etc. These are 3D - both characters and stages. They are often very technical and deep, and feature more realistic fighting but at the same time you can juggle your opponent in mid air with jabs (ftw). Lastly you got your crappy, gimmicky POS that sometimes shouldnt be referred to as a fighting game and are often way too casual to care about: Mortal Kombat, SC3 and 4, wrestling games, mma games, super smash bros (at a competitive level), etc.
(Note: remember, this is my opinion. take it with lettuce and tomatoes)
So yeah just learn one game for each category: SSF2T HD Remix for 1. MvC2/GGXX AC Plus for 2. Tekken 6 for 3. Depends on what kind of games you want to be good at. I personally think Street Fighter carries over everything but i cant really say the same for Marvel or Tekken.
yea that what i am trying to do. that why i am taking a break from sf4 because i was tried of losing since i have no footsies or spacing skills want so ever. since i only get to play offline a little bit, and everyone around here plays only sf4 mostly. so i decided to play hdr and pick ryu since he got the perfect tools to learn how footsies and zoning.
I thinking of just going w/ SSIV… unless some persuades me otherwise
