/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I am, why?

Naw, I've been playing Arcana Heart 3 recently.

>>7856795

Well... I guess I'll be on page 15 if anyone needs me then.

Bad fighting game is bad.

Are they planning any updates?

>>7856801
Sorry, I am still getting the mechanics down and I can't someone to main in Arcana Heart 3. I hope the community isn't full of morons though.

Yeah I still play it with a few friends but /jp/ seems to have moved on. I missed the daily netplay threads even though I got destroyed ;_;

>>7856900
Also no, I doubt it. Such is life.

I still play sometimes with a friend. He used to destroy my Remi with Suwako (?!), but I'm getting better!

I use the lobby, like the few players I used to play against on /jp/.

>>7856914
Is is better than regular netplay yet?

>>7856921
Not really, but it's definitely better than /jp/ if you want to find opponents, there's always someone connected. A lot of people still use regular connection through IP, even though they're conncted to the lobby.

>>7856911

They are probably working on a new fighter.

>>7856933
That wouldn't be very wise to make a whole new fighter. I'd rather have a new EFZ. Another extension is what soku needs. But it's hard to make a balanced game with the current game mechanics. That's why we couldn't have Mokou, and that's probably we'll have to wait forever for new content.

I blame the lobby for making the threads die. It pretty much made it neglect to post your ip anymore.
If only I could get myself to download it I'd probably find many others who I used to play with from the threads.

>>7856940

And why not?

New fighter means new story mode for everyone.

And SWR is already old.

It's also a bit depressing to see a part of /jp/ die just like that, but I guess in the end it's better and easier this way.

>>7856943
There won't be another expansion for 12.3. I'm pretty sure they are not going to do another Touhou fighter either.

>>7856955
And what about EFZ? Are they going to add Yumemi, Tomoyo, Rin, and Shizuru to the new game?

>>7856951
Old? Quake 3 is old. Starcraft is old.

>>7856955

They already made two, three if you count Sky Arena.

I see no reason why they would stop.

>>7856954
It's a small quick download, what's stopping you?

>>7856951
But soku's story mode isn't very fun.

>>7856971
But it has a fun storyline! Even if it's just three routes...

>>7856971

I enjoyed SWR's story mode a lot.

iamp2 where

>>7856974
>>7856975
Don't encourage the faggot.

>>7856974
The storyline is pretty entertaining (except for the whole Okuu bit)m but the gameplay is kinda annoying. It's way too spammy for a fighter.

>>7856984
>It's way too spammy for a fighter.
You should try not playing against the AI, someday.

>>7856971

You take that back right the fuck now you triplenigger

RIGHT
NOW

>>7856994
You can play against a person in the story mode? Do tell.

>>7856984
>Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA
>too spammy

>>7856984
Dunno, the thing I liked about Story is that it ISN'T played like a fighter. It's a genrebreaker in trying to stay faithful to Touhou, and shouldn't be thought of with a fighter mindset

>>7857000
Yeah, I suppose so. It's certainly unique if nothing else, but just didn't find it very fun.

Next official fighter will probably be closer to Sky Arena than Soku.

3D danmaku and all that.

>>7856978

Oh god, I would kill for a new fightan that was just up-to-date IaMP mechanics with new characters and tweaks for balance. I've officially added IaMP to that "games you wish you had known of during their hayday" list, alongside Starcraft, Warcraft 3 by which I mean "Warcraft 3's custom map editor", Dark Age of Camelot, Planetside, and Natural Selection ;_;

Soku was pretty much shit. Warmly waiting for something new from Tasofro, seconding the lament for IaMP.

>>7857010
>>7857033

I don't understand IaMP love.

Sure, it was more balanced than Soku. But other than that it was boring and repetitive.

>>7857033
>Warmly waiting for something new from Tasofro
Seeing all the shit Tasofro released during the past year (namely Dynamarisa), you can wait for a while. Tasofro is dead.

I don't know about you guys, but I find Soku tons of fun. Yeah, there exist much better fighters. So what? This one's got all the pretty bullets and the cute chibi girls making cute chibi faces. And it's still very well made for a doujin fighter. Isn't that enough reason to play?

>>7857043
There are people who genuinely like IamP and who where disappointed with Soku, but they are a minority. The majority is a bunch of elitist faggots (and trust me, there are a lot of these in the fighting-game community) who just want to be part of a minority inside of a minority.

>>7857051
There's reason enough for the tohoo but not enough for the fighter part to play after years.

No, because I can't find anyone to play against. I still play occasionally against computers, but beating a computer isn't nearly as satisfying as beating someone else.

>>7857043

I disagree. I used to keep up a fair bit with the Japanese UNL tourney scene, and no matter what level of you look at it, it's really just a slow paced game that revolves around waiting for one person to fuck up so they can get punished. The floaty nature of the game combined with flying makes it very hard to force a fight unless you have unblockable aerials or can very consistently crush someone midair, which is a lot easier said than done because of said floaty nature on top of them being able to just guard break themselves, or whatever that mechanic was called

All I can say is that watching IaMP tournament matches tickled me in ways that UNL simply never could

>>7857043
>Sure, it was more balanced than Soku
>IaMP
>balanced

You're kidding right?

>>7857086
IaMP tournaments consist of one guy spamming the same BnB corner combos while the other guy is trapped with no bombs. That really isn't very entertaining either.

I'll agree that SWR/Soku tournaments are pretty shitty to watch too since everyone is way too cautious, but who cares? If you're just playing with friends it's really entertaining. Tournies are never a reliable indicator of realistic gameplay.

>>7857062
There's usually always people in the Soku Lobby. It's like an arcade!

>>7857098
>IaMP tournaments consist of one guy spamming the same BnB corner combos while the other guy is trapped with no bombs. That really isn't very entertaining either.

What are you even talking about? You fuck up hard enough, you get put on the defensive, which means you're in the corner. That's just kind of how it works in fighters. And even in the corner, people are constantly playing an uneven trade game of rock paper scissors. Is he gunna try to jump out? Is he just going to block? Etc etc. And if the attacker fucks up, that gives the defender a chance to slip out. It's fast paced and there's constant mind games going on, even in the corner

>>7857125
>It's fast paced and there's constant mind games going on, even in the corner

This applies to most fighters, but not IaMP. If the guy knows his shit it's virtually impossible to get out of the corner once you get in there. You're pretty much stuck turtling until HE fucks up.

>>7857098
>>7857139
What matches are you referring to that don't involve a serious skill discrepancy? Note the plurality of that question. Or did you just give IaMP a try after playing Soku and get dominated? I know that's why most people think it's not "fun".

>>7857139
>If the guy knows his shit it's virtually impossible to get out of the corner once you get in there. You're pretty much stuck turtling until HE fucks up.

Well, yeah. That's why you're in the corner. You fucked up. You're on the defensive. Now you have to win a few rounds of yomi and claw your way back out. That's.. how it works. There's nothing wrong with this. It really isn't "virtually impossible" to get out of the corner, though. It's hard if you *keep* fucking up, no doubt, but if you predict your opponent's moves right then you can slip out without an issue. It's mind games, man. IaMP punishes you hard for fucking up. That's what makes it such a pleasure to watch. The match can really turn around in a hurry if the players make a mistake

Nothing new will come. You will never get to competitively enjoy a Touhou game again. How does it feel?

>>7857215
>It's virtually impossible if you *keep* fucking up, no doubt, but if you predict your opponent's moves right then you can slip out without an issue.

Fixed because I suck at proof reading

Uhhh, no? Its a fighting game, after your knock down shit should go back to mostly even ground to try again.

If I wanted to play a game where I just have to memorize a single input on confirm, i'd play Stepmania. Instantly losing the game with no chance of recovery simply because I fucked up one move doesn't make for a good fighting game.
This is why Soku+ was such a massive flop, it catered too much to you faggots who want the game to be Guilty Gear/Blazblue with frame cancelling and infinite combos of shit. The LIMIT system was put into place solely for the reason of stopping that shit, and you practically removed it with 3 separate moves.

>>7857102

Eh, I could never get anyone to fight there. Hopefully if there's a new game, that'll be enough to spark interest again. My Sakuya needs to improve.

>>7857247
>Instantly losing the game with no chance of recovery simply because I fucked up one move doesn't make for a good fighting game.
You're right, it doesn't effect the value of the game. It just means you suck.

>This is why Soku+ was such a massive flop, it catered too much to you faggots who want the game to be Guilty Gear/Blazblue
I'm pretty sure that people who dislike Soku in favor of IaMP wanted Soku to be like IaMP and not other games that haven't entered the conversation.

>>7857041
What?.

A lot of work should've made in the development of that game, I don't think it's shitty by any means.

It's bit too repetitive, but that doesn't make it instantly shit.

Also, the next Tasofro game will have Sakuya as the protagonist.
I feel it in my pectorals, again.

>>7857271
>It's [a] bit too repetitive
It's too repetitive. Just say what you mean, you know it to be true.

>>7857271
FPS with Reisen.

>>7857280
ok ;_;... It's repetitive.

But it's not a bad game.

>>7857247
>Instantly losing the game with no chance of recovery simply because I fucked up one move doesn't make for a good fighting game.

Alright, we're done here. If you can't set aside your retarded exaggerations that do nothing but put up a big neon sign saying I SUCK AT IaMP, there's really no point in continuing this conversation. The bottom line is, I've watched plenty of competitive IaMP matches. It is nothing like what you describe. It is a constant on-the-edge-of-your-seat experience where matches can go either way depending on who outwits who

>>7857281
>Reisen will never have a spinoff game of her very own

;_;

>>7857338
>It is a constant on-the-edge-of-your-seat experience where matches can go either way depending on who outwits who. Or a complete stompfest because one player dramatically outplays the other player, as it should be, which is humorously consistent with your described experiences

Damn am I off today. Fuck it, bed time

I still play every once in a while. I'm usually on IRC chatting though, you'll see me under the name "Mimoto". Just PM if you want to play. Might be on later..

Occasionally, but I like Melty Blood more.

>>7857139
Yes that's how real fighting games work you fucking idiot

Playing with a keyboard here. Having trouble consistently performing 623B/C and 421B/C, Any tips?

>>7858891
press 6 once and then do the 236 but press B or C a bit sooner.

>>7858891
Practice more. Once you start improving, practice more.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

>>7858891
Slow your input down and practice it on practice mode until you can do it consistently. Then keep speeding it up until you can use the move realistically in a fight against a human then start throwing it in fights.

>>7858906
The thing is, when I do 236 I just press 26, and that works well, but pressing 626 works like 10% of the time.

>>7858922
hold the 2 a bit longer for the 623

I'm still ok for some games with /jp/, like we used to : I don't use the lobby.
But not now, 2 A.M. here.

Let's do this, /jp/.

Hosted.

71.61.153.198:10800

Come at me, /jp/

But seriously, let's Soku for a while.

>>7859331
dat lag

>>7859354

yeah, it's my net. Sorry about that. :x

Ugh, yeah. My internet's being shitty to da max. I'll rehost again probably tomorrow night or something (EST). Thanks, anon.

>dont like a game i like? lol scrub u just say that cuz u suck

It's like I'm really on /v/. The worst part is they're DOUJIN fighters. No actual pros give a fuck about doujin fighting games.

I think it works, anyway.

>>7859533
>No actual pros give a fuck about doujin fighting games

Why the hell do I even come to /jp/ anymore?

>>7856791
i do, however i've been dropping in frequency lately. it's hard being the only person from ph on #hisoutenSEA because even if i wanted to play, the goddamn lag gets in the way...


>>7858891

i don't know about the others, but i combine my 623 with a dash (because for some unknown reason, the keyboard miraculously reads it as 623B/C)

>>7858922
also, this

try to simulate 623 in practice mode (start with any character you feel comfortable with) and get the feel. once you get the feel, try doing it consistently.

after that, practice it against an AI (preferably lunatic mode) and then you use it against people

Competitive fighting games?

It's all about competitive Catherine play now. Get with the times.

>>7861681
Good question. /v/ is much more suitable for hXc1337 GaMurZ like yourself.

thanks /jp/. I still can't do it very well during matches, but I've gotten 623 down pretty much perfectly in practice.

Let's try this again, /jp/. Feel free to 623 practice on me all you want.

71.61.153.198:10800

EST

I heard a 'ding', but then someone backed out or ESC'd or something.

>>7861726
/jp/ is elite only
scholars and gentlemen
classy little girls
get out failure scum

>>7862857

Are you angry? You seemed a bit upset? Is your anus a bit sore from all of the gay sex you did last night?

But thanks to whoever just vs'd me, some pretty decent matches. Just make sure you don't try to rush yourself finding an escape immediately during a blockstring. Not bad though.

>>7862889
Thanks, pretty good games.

Hosting again for a bit more until I sleep or play something else. Same IP, EST.

71.61.153.198:10800

>>7859533
Yes ! And this doujin fighter we like happens to work like the fighting games that "pros" take seriously you stupid moron.

>>7862959

>Implying Hisouten or Hisoutensoku deserve to even be considered fighting games

Though Doujin games get alot of high level play all the same. It's called Poverty.

>>7863326
But SWR + Guignol Quest is $102 on J-List.™
