I don't know what any of that shit is and I don't care. Sure feels good to be heterosexual.

>>1618704 >Obviously it is, retard I dunno about that since I pulled off avoiding it well enough I only know about Jinx, the midgets and the two lolis. As far as I know, Jinx could've just been a collab character. >sidelining, or completely ignoring the ACTUAL FIGHTING GAME CHARACTERS THEY HAVE IN LEAGUE Cygames did the same shit with Granblue Versus. I have no fucking idea why Ghandagoza was in Relink instead of the fighter, when he's just Chinese Akuma.

>>1618688 >日本語がわからい

>>1618745 >I have no fucking idea why Ghandagoza was in Relink instead of the fighter. It's a case of wanting more fan favorite characters or some unpredictability in the roster. Just including a bunch of martial artists would make for a roster, sure, but not one with much variety. Surprised Ghandazoga wasn't DLC for either of the fighting games though. Maybe they thought Soriz already ate his lunch or that he would be too close to Vaseraga in niche. Also remember hearing that Ghandazoga was originally going to be soriz at one point, much like metera was scrapped from Relink and the remains were used for Tweyen, but there's no code backing that shit up, only speculation. As for 2XKO, the roster is pathetically tiny for a tag game or even a normal league fighting game, and the picks are nonsensical even from a popularity or gameplay variety perspective. Missing several of the game's races, missing key archetypes for fighting games, and has some literally who tier picks in there which is the last thing you want on a tiny roster. At least from what I understand talking to league fans.

Mika-chan made it to top 8 in the Undernight 2 tournament at EVO. I'm surprised someone managed that considering she's bottom 2 in that game last I heard. As much as I love the hyperactive retard, she's not very good compared to others on the roster. >>1623137 Switch 2 port is surprising considering how obsessed the devs are with realistic graphics and physics. Wait is this the new one or a re-release?

>oh nice, Grabgluemunchers is on sale <$20 basegame <$35 character pass1 <$27 pass 2 Greedy fuckers. >>1627302 >Wait is this the new one or a re-release? Snazzed-up edition of 5.

>>1627380 >Price complaints. If it bothers you that much just wait for a steeper discount at Christmas or only buy the base game. Or if you're really patient wait for the second pass to finish in February-ish 2026 and get the full game in a sale bundle for cheap like how the last one was sold. I'd say the base game is worth it at least. You're only missing 9 characters (three of which aren't in the game) since you unlock Lucilius for beating the final story mission. And the base roster covers a broad enough range. And if you're a tierwhore the majority of top tier characters are in the base roster and the only outright bad character is DLC, so. >Snazzed up edition of 5. I see. When's that new one supposed to come out again? All they had to show off was an in-engine trailer last I checked.

>>1627302 Mika was widely considered bottom 2 in UNI[st] but she's okay in the current version. Despite her being worse back then we actually once saw TWO Mikas make it to EVO's top 8. Her players are very impressive.

I slept through nearly all of Evo and will likely sleep through the finals today. Anything important happen? Announcements?

>>1614583 EVO news

>>1628782 Why's Crapcom using Ken as advertisement when they went out of their way to destroy him?

Man Evo was really boring this year huh. >No show-stealing moments like what Hayao did last year in the 3rd Strike tournament >More ads and forced product placements than ever >No major game announcements >Tasty Steve hasn't been shot in the face yet >2XKO gets an entire dedicated stream and nobody cares I guess they showed a bit of Virtua Fighter 6 gameplay at least? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkGmeofGSw0 According to the devs on twitter, this character that Akira is fighting is Stella, not Sarah. So Sarah and Stella are confirmed to be different characters.

>>1618645 >soulcalibur pic it's been ages...

Virtua Fighter, Tekken must die by your hand!

>>1616085 >This genre is cucked. It's been cucked for over a decade. Fucking Sagat is a DLC character on an SF game. I can't be the only one in this whole planet who thinks that's pants-on-head retarded. I stopped playing fighting games long ago. I check some videos of games that come out, but I have no interest in engagig with the modern fighting scene.

>>1642773 >Fucking Sagat is a DLC character on an SF game I wanna blame it on Oda for having no spine but I guess now the series is just a cow to be milked by whoever Crapcom decides to put on it. >I have no interest in engagig with the modern fighting scene Esports was a mistake and everyone knew it from the start.

>>1642773 Street Fighter is really in an awkward position. So many 'essential' characters that "need" to be on the base roster makes it too large and cumbersome for newbies to get into (newbies want to learn matchups against the base cast then build up progressively over the years) while trying to balance enough new characters and content to make sure its not just a previous entry with better graphics. It took until season 2 or 3 in SFV to get Sagat and I'm not sure how Capcom can get around this problem since they're deathly afraid of cutting the cast given the reception to SF3.

>>1643019 Any answer to the "next game rosterfaggotry" question is the wrong answer in a lot of autists' eyes. I've been seeing a lot more retarded takes that live service is the direction fighters should be going in, because recycling assets and adding on top of the existing game is "better" than resetting and starting from scratch after all, to the point where there's a split in Smash whether Switch 2 should get Smash 6 (implied reboot) or Smash Ult with a third fighters pass. I can't tell how much of this is the industry's fault, the FGC's fault, the fanboys' fault, etc; but I see too many weaknesses with live service to fully accept it. The fact that every rosterfag I've seen dream up a theoretical roster the past few years reserved slots for DLC (not just post launch, implied need to pay for the characters) was sickening enough.

>>1642773 THE FIGHTING GAME COMMUNITY?

>>1645157 >THE FIGHTING GAME COMMUNITY?

>>1645135 Live service is completely worthless but I'd rather Nintendo recycle Smash Ultimate because none of their new shit is something I'd want to play as and them recycling it, means there's far less Fire Emblem characters in the running. Best case would be that a complete edition would be put out after a good amount has been added but knowing Nintendo, neither will happen because they're as greedy as Disney and forcing key cards, so either way Smash is completely fucked. >>1645157 God what I'd give to see that faggot, damned to nonstop losing; I'd actually watch that dogshit evo.

>>1645313 I was reminded of this and now all of you will be too.

>>1645553 NO

>>1642773 >Fucking Sagat is a DLC character on an SF game. Where have you been the last 33 years?

>>1643019 Does Street Fighter really "need" any veterans at the start of a new game beyond the 10 original SF2 characters + Cammy+Makoto +Sakura?

>>1645635 Not the same thing. >>1645678 Boring predictability isn't always the best, thinking like that wouldn't have gotten us Makoto in the first place, or >>1618714

>>1645553 No.

Playing MK 11 cuz it was cheap and want to make an AMV, is there no way to turn the HUD off?

>>1645730 Makoto will suck to fight against with SF6 mechanics and will quickly garner SF4U Elena levels of hate though. Also she will be ugly as shit. You sure you want her anon?

>>1618489 >first webm Reviving my pain as a 15-plus-year-long DNF/DFO fan at how shit DNF Duel was. >>1645157 He couldn't make it in SF or even Strive so he went back to his roots of being the best at a game that has no fans, sasuga

>>1685912 >Reviving my pain as a 15-plus-year-long DNF/DFO fan at how shit DNF Duel was It's insane how Nexon is more incompetent and greedy than Cygames, a gachshit comany. How's the MMO faring? >Sonic Fox sucks There is god.

Thread's been real quiet. Why not liven it up with some replays?
