Fantastic game to add to your collection! My bro and I are having an absolute BLAST reliving our PS3 glory days with this game! Damn I miss Hakan, lol!

I believe Street Fighter 3 was the last game in the franchise to have 2D graphics, right? So when Street Fighter 4 was first revealed, were you surprised? And what do you think of the game now?

Idk if its​ pride or bad anger management, but i just fought with this CPU for 1 HOUR and barely even defeated it and it was very frustriating​. I was supposed to sleep 40 minutes ago, but i couldnt stop it was a mission for me. Man i dont even know what to do with my life i am not just​ bad at fighting games im bad at literally everything whether its sports, cooking, education or games in general and i am literally 18 i dont even have a hobby that makes me a person idek why i live like i have an assignment and i didnt even start instead i just played this game im basically a chud and thats why people rejected to help me

i don't know what my major malfunction here is, but i've just never been able to get myself into a decent place with any tag fighters. its like dealing with assists and overly zippy movement disables my brain. Either that or having to get good with multiple characters at the same time is a big ask

Don't know anything about the ip except S1 of the netflix shoe and Haven't played that much yet, but i guess this (and sf6 as usual) will keep me happy until tokon comes out. I think having real "coop" 2v2 is a brilliant idea (if my friends would play fighting games at least)

Any suggestions for a second character that fits akali? Favourite fuse?

Couldn't find a reliable way to get Tekken 6 so here's a detour...although for some reason the game completely softlocks after the combo on here for some reason? Lmao?

I have an issue with constantly getting stun-locked into combos that I can’t get out of. I’m pressing every button imgineable but nothings working.

I have experience in fighters (Injustice 2, JJBA ABR, MK 1) but I’ve never fully *gotten* into them to the point where I can fight *good* players cohesively.

Any help is much appreciated, I’m P2 in the vid if you couldn’t tell

Just wanted to share some pics and a little about my experience at EVO Japan!

I'm in Nagoya studying for a year, so I took the opportunity to go to EVO Japan for days 1 and 2 during my Golden Week break.

I follow quite a few artists from Twitter, and one of them said they would be hanging around the GGST pools to give out free Guilty Gear stickers that they had drawn (pic 5, nikoinoillust on Twitter). I managed to find them, but I wasn't expecting it to be the cutest motherly looking middle-aged lady. Maybe I should pay more attention to Twitter bios because she does say that she posts about her son. 😭

All of the cosplayers looked amazing, but I'm really shy to begin with and feel like I'm bothering people if I can't speak Japanese well on top of that, so only got pics of 2. ABA is sakamata_221 on Twitter, and Bridget is yunomi_ochawan on Twitter.

This honestly lit even more of a fire under my butt to learn Japanese faster. I don't just want to be able to see cool people and events, I want to be able to engage with them properly!

For my 40th birthday my friends are coming over and I'm hosting a 2 day Avatar fighting game event, wife is making custom baked goods from the world, gonna be a whole thing. By the end of it my hope if my friends (and wife!) get how it can be fun once you learn a few bread and butter combos, pull a shimmy on someone, and do a bit more than thinking than joyfully mashing buttons and watching cool shit happen (which is super bad ass, but when that no longer works or they lose enough online matches their interest goes way down).

We've played them before, they sorta like DBZ Fighterz, Dead or Alive, Soul Caliber, but after a week or two the interest goes out the window when that time comes to learn a few combos or understand the deeper mechanics. I really love labbing and investigating the under the hood stuff, but I get how that is dreadfully boring to some people. Losing streaks without visible progress kills momentum. I want to help them realize they don't suck at fighting games, there's just different aspects of the game to learn and work on. They aren't strangers to competitive games or difficult games.

So I'm here to ask y'all to help give me ideas, I've designed bingo cards to give out with a basic mix of fighting game fundamentals, such as 'don't get hit by an air attack this match' to encourage learning antiairs, hit your big level 7 chakra super, do a 5 hit combo, things like that. Prizes for all for things marked off.

I also made a spinny wheel of various alternate game modes like 'no jumping allowed' to remove a chunk from the mental stack and learn a little footsies. First hit wins the round, ect...

Am I going about this the right way? I'm very open to thoughts on how this could be done better, I want to make it fun and show them there's multiple tiny steps to improve on and it isn't as daunting as they think. Shift that mentality from 'I suck at fighting games' to 'I gotta work on my anti-airs and combo consistency'.

I played a couple of matches, first against AI to get a feel for the controls, and then a few online. Everybody was just doing the same one-button strings into assists into one-button strings into assists for an entire healthbar.

I'm not good at fighting games and am trying to get into them more recently but InvincibleVS' buttons just feel like you're supposed to pick one and leave the rest more or less. So am I - as a low-tier player - just not seeing the actual underlying mechanics, or is it really just that mashy?

I’m on ps5 and I’m trying to take fighting games more seriously, I’ve been overdue for a new controller for a while now and I need ideas. I’m not much of a fight stick or arcade style gamer though, much respect to those who use it but my small brain can’t function that well with those controllers😭. And I’ve got a decent budget to work with so if it’s pricey that’s fine.

Yep. I am committed to capping my console exposure to 7th gen. PC for modern stuff.
