is tekken tag 2 still the best tekken? never played 8

SF6 and Tekken 8 recently released a patch. Did they finally take notes on Strive 2.0? Is it big? Is it good?

>>737026021
I finished the world stage mode for this today, it was fun, even if repetitive

>>737026170
>tekken 8 unfucking itself
yeah nah

>>737026170
sf6 was just some bugfixes, theres not gonna be a big patch until the ingrid/s4 patch

been playing around with Jojo all star battle on steam. its such a fucking weird fighting game, some characters just play a completely different game. it kind of feels like rival schools lol

Lot of later ones are impossible to pull online either way.

Worth it.

>>737026560
The hitstop freeze annoys me but otherwise it's surprisingly a good albeit janky game made by an arena fighter dev GOAT CC2.

I think the hip-hop costume for Terry in SF6 beats it.

>>737026652
im still mad they butchered so bad the trials in KOF XV

>>737026431
I just wish SEGA didn't kill the online on PC

>>737026860
Because retards treated it as some sort of campaign/tutorial instead of actually learning the game from somewhere else. Or you know just playing it properly.

>>737027306
to be fair though combo trials as tutorial is a good idea. they should just also have a sicko mode version for the psychos

>>737026860
It is disappointing having 5 mediocre trials per character in XIV and XV. Atleast SNK finally brings back quantity and some difficult trials in COTW.

>>737027306
strive has user uploaded combo trials which is pretty neat

>>737024765
It makes the pants' fabric look too soft. What are they, made out of silk?

Just bought some leverless because modern dpads are garbage and I want try something different than usual keyboard. Still going be painful learn movement with left hand.

>>737027986
XI and UM have more standard challenge stuff alongside combos.

Yes. But kof have very low charge timing, 30~frames and free cancel remove charge after first motion, still a bitch to do tho.

>>737028414
Game has a mechanic called drive cancel which basically cancels one special into another special and Ash has an sans culotte install which makes all his charge moves can be execute without charging.

>>737028825
Ash trials are juggle combos and some of them actually forces you to charge.

Nice to see Strive 2.0's affecting other fg devs but I don't wanna say it's "one step to improvement" because they still have lots to fix unless they fuck it up again but it is a good patch so far. Now, your move Capcom, SNK, French Bread and others.

>>737030027
Controllers are pure personal taste but sticks are far from silver bullet when coming to fighting games.

I don't get why retards swear that you need one to get good.

nta but the S2 patch for CotW was pretty good outside of not really nerfing Hotakumaru enough. But it's not like he's some S+ tier character right now.
Most notable was Kain getting lynched for the S1 atrocities he committed. He arguably got nerfed too hard, because he's straight up trash now.

Use whatever you're most comfortable with. Part of what made me go for a Haute was that I was always bad with a traditional stick and at some

Kain is in the running for most brutal nerfing of all time. I get that he was a big S1 problem, but SNK nuked that nigga from orbit.

That's a sentence I never thought I was gonna say.

had a disaster day in ranked sf6 today trying to learn elena, i think i'm probably gonna stop playing her for now until i have better game sense. decided to switch over to strive and play some johnny and ended up going on a long winning streak and my opponents kept one and doneing me instead of playing the full set.

therefore i can officially say strive is easier than sf6. i might try some tekken ranked tonight on the new patch, how's fahkumram?

Tekken has shown active hostility towards the idea of changing, so it's dead until further notice.
SF only patched out incest, for which it's not based.

I guess Sean is better than Twelve since Sean has a bad gameplan that barely functions but Twelve has an incomplete gameplan that could work but has no punchline (he can harry people with lots of pokes and neutral pressure but it leads to nothing but zero-damage combos with no knockdown and no opportunity but more of the pointless same - without something like a command throw that makes all his other tools into things an opponent has to mental stack while looking out for that one move they're all building towards he has nothing to threaten with).

Yes but actually no. This are Trials for Ash Crimson. Aside from the fact charges take fuck all time to charge in KOF, Ash has an install super that turns his charge moves into motions (instead of holding down and pressing up, you just press down then up). Gives him the swaggiest combo game in XIII off a fuckass anti air. Bottom 1 character sadly.

Kek. This makes me think of something, was XIII's HD mode hated back then or just the drive/HD cancel mechanic that were hated?

I've always thought this was a midwit take, when top tiers are cancerous because of strong options, buffing everyone to the same level makes everyone cancerous

A soccer ball is a completely different thing though.

>>737027468
Uni2 still has the best one, where combo trials range from telling you system mechanics/OSes, a character's good buttons and game plan all the way up to absurd combos

>>737047465
What were the option selects (maybe just one?) that got removed? I heard one got patched out, did the trials change to accommodate that?

Who is easier to learn in Strive, Ky or Gio?

>>737030027
DS4 controller.

It'll be half a year at earliest before we see if any other games took notes from Strive in balancing or not.
I'm leaning "not" for T8 and SF6 because those games seem to be stubborn about their current directions. I really, really WANT SF6 to finally patch out throw loops but you would be gullible to believe it will happen if it didn't last summer.

In 2014 I bought a RAP VX-SA Kai (for the 360). After 8 years of nearly daily use the lever finally began to fail and a year later the buttons began to get iffy. Replaced the Sanwa JLF it came with, installed a JLX and the 30mm buttons are all new too. Didn't bother replacing the 24mm.
I'm worried about the proprietary panel at the top however. When that goes, that could be a real issue. That panel has the 'back' button and the 'L/R stick buttons.

CT - CSEX most people would call this Early Access Blazblue. Chrono Phantasma is Blazblue 1.0.

They were quite literally wasting money on in because the entire basis of a fighting game is the competition. Without an EVO or a Capcom Cup, their game wouldn't sell as much as it does.

This is how you get DNF Duel where even low tiers are cancerous to fight against.

>>737073097
The problem with dnf duel was less that the characters were too strong, though that was part of it it especially on launch, but that there just wasn't anything to the game except insane character power level. No execution barrier to overcome, no complex interactions to master, no equally broken defensive and movement options to have to play around, just memorize and then do your character's broken shit before they can do theirs.
Imagine that game but with Slashback or CVS roll cancels or at least like air movement so just putting a big hitbox on top of your opponent is harder.

>>737073097
>let’s have a game with humongous ass normals but also put it in a game with no airdashes, regular dashes are slow and the jumps suck

People are freaking about all three points but the closest thing I'd even consider "kinda weird" would be the third one, I guess? I didn't really think it was too weird because anime has shown me far weirder fucking incest examples.

>Baikenfags? Liars
Crazy part is they made Baiken really simple to play in Strive

>>737076990
She's pretty straightforward in Strive, yes.
I just got the game recently and as far as I can see being able to Tiger Knee her overhead special is the "hardest" thing in her kit?

>>737077265
She had some delayed/microdash combos in the previous patch off of like falling jS into delay Youzansen that were a little tricky, but I don't know if they're in the game anymore

The hardest thing she can do is actually Guard Cancel Parry
Any multi-hitting string like Bridget 2S, Bedman? 2H or a few cS should in theory impossible to do on Baiken unless you do some really specific, hard callout counterplay that could get you killed if she doesn't parry
If she does it, she gets to run offense immediately,
Thing is, the timing is short and you need to immediately react. If you do it too late, it'll whiff and you'll get counterhit, or if you do it incorrectly you could also be getting hit because some moves are low and you have to do a quarter circle motion

>>737076990

>Want to compete in fighting games
>Would come off as "unhinged" in modern FGC
I'm too unsportsmanlike and I refuse to put on a fake persona like the current men wearing dresses and calling themselves woman in an attempt to be "safe" and fit in. I'm too competitive. I'm so competitive I'll lost a few friends who were too soft to handle even the lightest of blows. While you look at pro players as stars I don't even look at them because to me they're just an temporary object in the way. I've had a few rivals, some even became top pro players in the 10s. At that time I have no money and no way to get to tournaments. But now that I have everything whenever I look at the FGC I feel nothing but disassociated feelings. I feel like my era is over. Now I just bully any and everyone I fight in fighting games to the point everyone wants to take me down because they see me as "unhinged" and I must be stopped at all cost, even if it's online. You fucking losers, quit being so soft.

But recently I bullied a friend and now I feel really bad about it. Maybe I'm growing soft... aaahhhh! I hate this so much. My blood boils with competitive edginess!

That's usually what I hear when people talk about not wanting to play KOF. Similar to CotW, SNK fighters really aren't hard, but since they ask for 1% of brain power instead of 0.1% like most modern fighters, people claim that they're difficult games.

How many of them do you think are in this thread? That's probably why we see all the boring "I'm getting into XYZ game" conversations as well as repetitive debates regarding stuff about games that everyone talked about a decade ago. Though I like to think it is one old fart talking to himself. You can always tell too. But the new anons are quite annoying. I don't give a shit if they just started yesterday they're annoying as hell and boring. Same with the "recommend me a controller/fightstick" anons. They act like they've never used google or never seen their favorite fgc content creator make a boring as video about controllers. I don't want this community to grow. I want to set it on fire and watch it burn to the ground. Fuck new players and dirteaters. You run into me I'm going to shit on your weak as skills.

And then there's the Make A Wish Foundation presents: SaveAnAnonFromDying posters who like to challenge you because you have a mindset like mine. They really be out here saving anons from people like myself. NoFunAllowed ahh posters. Defenders of Justice ahh posters. They like to try and flip the message too. Some will even post from their PC and phone at the same time to make it appear as multiple anons in the thread actually give a shit about stopping you from styling on these faggots. I hate this fucking community. The trannies and the people who changed themselves to fit into this current trash with call the FGC

Also they will pretend like everything I'm saying is false and I'm unhinged although it happens all the time in these threads. These threads are boring as fuck. I just use this opportunity to shit on randoms in-game and laugh when they praise me for my excellence. Thank god for steam alt accounts. Freely shit on scum as I please. Don't need these losers becoming obsessed with me.

Nobody likes when someone tells the truth. Because you're all apart of the problem with the FGC

Not those anons, but I've been an owner of smaller a version of >>737091603 called the G16 for two years. Overall it feels great. One thing to look out for is the button caps, they can come off during play if you're carrying it around in your bag or something. They're easy to pop back on though and it's an uncommon occurrence in my experience. If you want a pad that doesn't do that look up Haute42's T series. The buttons are more 'arcade' style in that they're lower to the base and a bit wider. If you want the mini version of that then look up the S series, it's the sibling to >>737092124.

Yeah but never in a game that required these kind of fast button combos

>>737092392
It's like a keyboard. Try use WASD for a while and change spacebar to up.

>>737092569
so you'll never played like a 2D side scroller on a keyboard? if not go do it now in a steam game to get a feel for how you play on a leveless. In fact just go boot up a fighting game with keyboard support

Set A Back Movement
Set S for Crouching
Set D for Forward Movement
And Set the Space bar for Jumping

example for jumping: to do an up fwd jump you have to press D+Space bar

>>737086938
the real issue is that snk fgs have high execution level because the inputs are not very permissive. basically when it comes to combos you can't mash buttons or shit won't work.

of course 14 and new 3d snk games changes that to be more accepting to newcomers

>>737092569
some circle inputs are annoying on keyboard/hitbox but it really depends on how picky the game is. If it's some japshit where they made it for analog controllers and assumed people would also use sticks and that's it, you might be fucked.

There's also an argument about which one is "better", but I don't think I've ever seen it actually matter considering you still need to be good at fighting games and a controller isn't changing that.

This, they go by Haute42/ONEED/Cosmoxgaming in their listings. Kind of annoying to find all their actual offerings of pads since some are only in 1 Amazon storefront/official website and vice versa
>>737092569
Takes awhile to get used to (practicing on a keyboard with WASD and numpad helps before committing). Much like keyboard, I like these mostly for perfect directional inputs compared to controller dpads. If not for grinding my left thumb away with fucked inputs, I'd still like using them. I'm guessing leverless probably lasts longer than most of the controllers out there (I gave up shopping for them). Even if a switch or button goes on leverless, just gotta swap them out like on a hotswap keyboard. Fun to customize with art and buttons, too

>>737095984
Problem with modern standard controllers is fucked up dpad, besides that they are great and cheaper than console bundled ones.

the only throw OS that got removed was 1AD, in that it doesn't give you shield anymore. 3CAD, 3BAD, 2AD still all exist as they did in older games. hell you can even do specials like 236AD, 360AD, 623CAD. the system is still super flexible.
