Why most US fighting gamers dont want to play new 2D fighters?

Just make a thread like DG did for SNK games and spam it up with random crap…works for him I guess :wonder:

If its SNK it aint random thank you very much…hence if he has a FOTN thread that has something to do with FOTN then guess what…it aint random…

BINGO!!!

WHy don’t you show us all how its done ArcadeFire since you seem to know soooooo much about how to do these things right and make such GREAT suggestions for improving it?? Why don’t you show us how to do this correctly??

Since you find it funny why not?? Are you not hardcore enough 2 do it? I don’t think so so until you have the balls to step in my shoes STFU. Anyone can critique but not anyone can DO. Remind me WTF are you doing? Nothing thats right…so please STFU you lose. You don’t understand the concept of hardcore so anything I do means absolutely nothing to you apparently…you get a kick out it so I think you should just go to GD with all the other casual players or as you say “GTFO and goes to playing 3s”

:lol: :lol: :rofl: :lol: :rofl:

Don’t judge a man until you walk in his shoes…

everyone who plays GG, plays it becuase it looks like an anime:looney:

Quoted for sarcasm hopefully

nope, sadly it’s the truth:sad: . You watch anime right?

I never said the jp jp jp i did was chip was a decent combo…i was using that as an example…i threw in some kicks and a few special moves as well…also that was back in March 03 when i first played GGX2!!! Its not the fact that they are good combos…its the fact that almost anyone could pull off some type of combo with lil effort…Thats why my friends would play that with me cause they could do lil combos like that but in a game like streetfighter they couldnt…BTW it is a combo game to the core…you dont really poke at it like streetfighter 3rdstrike…

fun fact: kofxi gets more play at my arcade than every game besides ITG2

and yes, there are marvel and 3s machines.

although its pretty much the only way you can play KoFXI legally without traveling over an hour within the area.

GOOD combos are fucking hard in GGXX.

depends on the character

GG is a fun 2d fighter…i just dont see how anyone that only plays guilty gear didnt pick it up for the anime and quick combo system…with flashy graphics…I can see if you play all the fighters and just so happen to like guilty gear the best…but for most guilty gear hardcore players…they really dont touch anything besides that…well…maybe melty blood lol

its cause were gfx whores.

i play it because its fun???

also i play 3s regularly

I think its cause:

#1. Newer fighting games cost more money.
#2. The older (CVS2, 3rd Strike, MVC2) games have competition already available. You can say, well, if no one steps up, then there will never be competition available. True, but all that brings me back to #1. Why play if the prices are already jacked up and not get any practice against human players? I could be talking outta my ass, but thats just my 2 cents.

I dont think price has nothing to do with it…cause i see alot of kids on xbox live with the 360. But yeah players that are in like bumfuck Idaho or montana are probably less likely to find players rather than someone in Cali.

I play it because it allows me to act out Axl Rose’s violence against women.

that’s right folks, I’m here all week.

Man, everyone in this thread is stupid. Cept me. I’m brilliant.

And Orka, he’s not bad. And Lake cuz his avvy rocks.

BUT ALL THE REST OF YOU SUCK!

But yeah, didn’t Daigo bring in the Beast in GG? And doesn’t he rock out at 3S too? I think the whole “Hardcore GGers only play GG and love anime” point is pretty damn stupid."

LIKE THE REST OF YOU!

I agree with the fella that said that reliable online play is our only hope. Cause thats the damn truth. I haven’t played a 2D fighter in forever. And its not for lack of intrest. Bought all the console ports and played them out. But none of my buddies will really get into them as they want the flashy graphics and instant gratification. So I play against the computer again and again… but there’s nothing to that at all in the end.

So I got into DOA as it was a favorite of a good friend of mine. He never really got into SF but for some reason this game hit a chord with him. So we play the crap out of it. And then you get online play… and honest to god if it wasn’t for lag issues, I would be hard pressed to stop. But even then, in truth, its just not the same as it used to be. You have to remember, back then fighters were THE only real way to compete in video games… PacMan and Highscores in Galaga were nothing to when you actually got to beat someone in SF the first time. But now, Fighting games are put in the same boat with party games these days. Most folks aren’t waiting for the next awesome fighting game… even the instant gratification kind. These days folks want to compete in squads, clans, groups in online games with more people. Thats just the way things have turned out ya know. You’re right… you go where the competition is. And in CS or Battlefield, you can compete against 32 people at once.

Video Game players have just found other ways to compete… thats really all there is to it.

I think you’re all alone when it comes to DOA lag issues.

Well put…even though i consider myself i hardcore Streetfighter head i find it hard to practice for tournaments when i know i play mostly bymyself…then i look at my 360 and feel like…i wanna bust some heads on live!!

It does lag sometimes…especially when someone uses hayabusa or hayate and keep spamming lows or something…its like you know what move is coming next but cant counter it in time cause of the lag…u look like a hayate user lol

well guys girls and fan boys I’ve read enough. New fighting games ha what a laugh If you haven’t noticed most of the new games that comeout are rehashes most turn out to be horrible sequel’s or prequel’s. That don’t seriously change the way the game is played

Take GGxx how many updates does this game have two - three! has the core of the game changed no. A few moves were either added or nerfed. One/ two new characters some new animation/frame data everything else the same. to be honest the combos from the orignal GG for PSX (which I do own by the way and have been playing since everyone was swinging from XvSf nut sac) still work. I try every new fighter that comes out to the us and based on just playing for five minutes i can tell if it will instantly be popular or is a sleeper. and be reminded that most new fighting games are for childern.
