/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Nobody here has ever played a fighting game.

Otaku dont play fighting games, we play anime games

Hisoutensoku and SWR

Soku, Guilty Gear, Blazblue, SFIV, sometimes MvC3.

I guess you could say I play everything that's big except KoF (and Soku is obviously not popular in the West). I hardly count Mortal Kombat as a legit fighter to begin with, not out of prejudice (cheesy grimdark gore is a guilty pleasure actually), but mechanics.

We used to have Soku netplay threads here like, all the time actually for at least a year straight, not sure why they stopped. We played Melty Blood with each other a lot before that as well and also some Scarlet Weather Rhapsody before the Soku update.

So you guys used to play fightan games, but just suddenly stopped?

Does this look like /jp/ - Video Games?

>>7595642
>GUST GENERAL
I guess it is

Arcana Heart, Vanguard Princess, Melty Blood, and Touhou fighters are taken as serious fighting games here.

Welcome to /jp/, OP. Be sure to invite all of your /v/ friends here!

Okay how about we get some netplay going then?

To be honest, half of the anime fighting games are a joke. Melty Blood and the touhou fighters have no future. Other ones are purely for the sex appeal/fan service and should be taken as seriously as mortal kombat is. (For fun).

I play SSF4AE though :o

>>7595655
Ar Tonelico might as well not have gameplay elements, they're so easy.
And those synthesis games are even worse.

>>7595706
Soku and Arcana Heart are pretty good.
Have to agree with you about Melty Blood though, the game lacks depth.

What console do you guys play on?

>>7595764
360 and PS3.

Dunno what you're looking for OP. People who actually play the games or people who are good at it. I highly doubt you'll find either here.

I play doujingames only. Especially platformer.

Going to play Catherine :3

>hey /jp/
>I got sickof /v/'s

Now people won't be honest. The thread is a failure.

listening to audiobooks and grinding some combos in ssf4ae in anticipation of it coming out next week here.

>>7595803
Wait, Pennybro posts on /jp/?

Touhou, Melty Blood, Arcana Heart, Guilty Gear, and BlazBlue.

>>7595828
AE has been out everywhere a while ago homie

>>7595828
Shit Fighter 4 is cancer. Invariably, the people who play SF4 are niggers, and people who's first console was the SNES. Their IQ is collectively around 10. Fuck off, back to /v/.

>>7595899

>>7595829
I post on all fighting, SC2, AW, and the occasional touhou gameplay threads on /jp/.

In any case the fighting genre's second wind is going to die in the same way it died in the 90s. The only good fighters from this current generation are AE and MvC3 and I hate the shit out of both of them right now. I might look into the new KoF. I hear it's really fundamental.

>>7595941
It is mostly your fault for not playing Arcana Heart 3.

I remember when we used to have MBAC netplay threads here often.

Aside from all the shit talking faggots, there were some cool people in those threads

>>7596230
Weren't those threads just Sion and Currybutt bitching at one another over losing?

>>7596241
Not in the beginning...But yeah, they devolved into that.

Just like fighting game generals on /v/ devolved into Yoyo, Ema, Joestar and whatever other faggot it is, fucking each other in the ass while saying each one sucks.

Also excessive use of bad american fighting game slang.

>>7596264
Ya I check fighting game threads on /v/ every now and then and it they are terrible.
We should have soku netplay threads again.A while ago I found a good thread here on /jp/ nobody replied to.

http://archive.easymodo.net/cgi-board.pl/jp/thread/7465536

So who's your favorite fighting game character, /jp/?

Man, look at Johnny chatting up Hsien-ko like that, he must think he's so slick.

I play a little of everything really, save MBAC, I guess. I just never had the time to get into it.

>>7596386
Wong.

only me playing IaMP alone

I'm waiting to get AE.

/jp/ will probably play Vanpri once it gets released.

>>7596386
It's hard to pick one favorite, really. I guess if it really came down to it maybe R.Mika from SFA3, Baiken from GGXX, or Lilith from vagpov.

>>7596425
Is vanpri gonna be free? Or is the company localizing it gonna have the nerve to actually charge for what is a free game?

>>7596454
>Is vanpri gonna be free?

You really think it's going to be free? The better question is how much it will cost. I'm hoping it's around $10.

>>7596472
Considering the source game is, yes.

>>7596427
Comrade.

>>7596454
>localizing
someone wants to localize a doujin game? I thought it was constantly getting updates as the guy worked on it.

>>7596524
Some company with a dumbass weeaboo name, NEKO NEKO or something.

Gonna be localizing the game and releasing it for PC and 360(LOLOL) in english.

>>7596386
If I had to choose only one, then pic related.

I'm a sucker for this archetype. So yeah, Karin for SF, Lili in Tekken, Luviagelita in UC, and so on...

>>7596586
how will they handle updates?

Currently I play AE. I'm going to get back into BBCS any day now, but I'm too lazy to download Valk and Platinum and start reading up on the changes and blah blah blah

I need to play more MvC3 as well, but I fucking despise X-factor. Worst mechanic in fighting game history.

I bought the new MK and played that for a couple hours or so. Seems okay. I need to play more but I keep playing other stuff instead.

>>7596609
Same way they handle updates for any other games.

>>7596607

>>7595899
>and people who's first console was the SNES. Their IQ is collectively around 10

buttmad scrub with poor grammar detected

>>7596621
>360
so either not at all or sold for $15?

>>7596618
I dunno, Border Escaping is a pretty shitty mechanic.

>>7596637
trolled and mad

>>7596637
Stop replying to bad-fake-kun. While SF4 is shit, the SNES was an excellent console, and everyone who played it were champs.

>>7596709
>SNES
>champs

maybe if you're a console peasant

>>7596652
Depends on the nature of the update, but prettymuch. Problems and balancing issues would be hotfixed, new game content would be DLC which may or may not cost money.

>>7596728
Because PCs back in the SNES days were just rife with amazing games.

>>7596618
I fucking HATE BBCS2.

In my opinion, somewhere between CT and CS would've been perfect balance. A lot of CS2 just feels weird and fucking wonky.

The combo system feels broke and random too, where one microsecond of mis-timing or a super jump instead of a normal jump (when both work in terms of hitting the opponent) somehow throw the entire combo out of whack.

Ragna's corner deadspike 5c in the corner randomly throwing the enemy behind you instead of keeping them in the corner is also ridiculous.

>>7596737
Actually, they were.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_X-Wing

Plus the Ultima games. Etc.

That feel when you finally complete Viper's Hard Trial #5.

>>7596749
I'm not saying there weren't good games back then. I loved X wing and Tie Fighter. But the per capita then was not what it is today.

>>7596776
That's because computer gamers were the ubermensch of that era. We got all the games that required intelligence and interactivity to win.

>>7596793
This fucking Console vs. PC false dichotomy needs to stop.

Whoah, a fighting game where people actually discuss the games? This is not like the threads I've seen on /v/.

Played Platinum pretty much for the first time today (against live players, at least). She's much easier than I thought, I expected to do lots of mistakes and drop lots of combos, but I can space moderately well, and my 6C-22C links are stable. Now, if only I could outspace my opponents so I don't get knocked over in a corner that often... Perhaps I should pick a character with a better defense.

I'm also thinking of trying KoF XIII, it actually looks nice. The problem is, I've only played Real Bout Fatal Fury before. I'm thinking of playing Vice, Elizabeth and Kula, but I have no idea about the general flow of the game. The lack of good vids on Youtube doesn't help, either.

>>7596386
Faust, hands down. I just love having ridiculous range without having to rely on projectiles. I also like a touch of randomness in my fighting, just because it feels awesome when I get, say, meteors.

>>7596815
It is pretty annoying fanboy drivel. Besides, we all know the true Master Race plays games on this.

>>7595655
>2011
>still asspained over your VC threads getting deleted

>>7596883
>a fighting game thread
Hurr.

>>7596886
This is an idea I can get behind.

>>7596883
KoFXIII is a great game. I'm just worried about the netcode since I have no one to play with locally, and I don't go to tournaments and such.

>>7596386

I really like Zenia. Although I'm terrible with her, I like a lot of things about her, getting close to smash the enemy to bits with relentless pressure. Even though it's a touchy subject, I'm a huge fan of Sakuya in Soku as well. I just really like going on the offensive since spamming long range moves is usually really boring to me. I'm still somewhat new to fighting games though so I'm trying to find which characters I'd like most in each one.

Which fighting games do you enjoy to watch the most?

>>7597130

Garou.

The downfall of fighters is that multiplayer is obligatory.
We are getting a sequel for vanguard princess, seacats and big bang beat, which I guess proves they are very popular in japan, since ping over there is minimum and their internet is super fast.
The touhou fighters have really interesting single player modes, cute sprites and awesome music.

>>7596386
luvia from unlimited codes. I like the way she shoots her gandr shots.

>>7597246

Haven't seen a Seacats Fighter thread/discussion in awhile.

With Jessica released in 1.10, and months since I last Netplayed, boring as fuck. Feels like the English community is dead.

>>7597246
None of those are very popular. VP is the most popular of the three in Japan. The community isn't large but they are very dedicated.

OMK is mostly casual stuff. There have been a few tourneys but a lot of the players are pretty bad, which goes to show there isn't much interest in it.

No one plays BBB.

Okay, /jp/, what's your roster?

>>7597673
Ugh

>>>/v/

Fucking SSBM all the way bitch.

>>7598084
This is a fighting game thread.

What have given you this impression? From what I know there are a decent following who are quite determined and somewhat dedicated.

>>7596154
Tried it. Would enjoy it more if there were more people who would pick it up past the moe fanservice stage. It's a solid game, much more than BBCS2 anyways, but the community is tiny. I'm not up to connecting with people who only play online since I'm spoiled from playing in So Cal for 4 years.

The soku lobby is down. Someone host!

>>7595941
Wait, MvC3 is one of the only "good" fighters this gen? I guess if you like a low skill ceiling, easy touch of death combos from overpowered characters, and an I Win button, then yeah it's good.

It's currently the worst competitive fighting game, aside from shit like MK.

I am tired of Capcom subtly nerfing Boxer in every SF4 update. He's not even that fucking good to begin with, give me a break.

I don't know why they reset the PP in AE either. I had like 3600 before, I would've been in the elite channel without having to grind my way back up. sadfrog.exe

>>7601830
Says a lot of the current fighting games that have come out.
