>>1614788 She's so fukkin cute!

Was thinking about making a thread like this for a while but I'm not up to date on what's going on in various FGs or the wider genre. Only really play Granblue VS and a couple of niche games so my OP would've been very ass. Thanks for making a better one anon. As for GBFVS:Rising, Cygames is demoing the next DLC character at EVO, Wilnas. No footage seen so far or anything outside of a concept art sheet, so there's no real idea as to how he's going to play outside of speculation based off how he works in the gacha.

>>1615056 Is Granblue still making money as a gacha?

>>1615081 Yeah, the browser game still turning a profit as far as I'm aware. Think it's their second most profitable game behind that horsegirl one, Umamusume.

>>1615148 Understood, just because it's been running for so long.

>>1614583 >Traded one shit company for another >Still stuck with the other half of why the last vs game bombed >Mahvel is back >Shonen Jump VS Capcom That's honestly far more likely than any other Jap company with how much Marvel mangos they've been doing. >>1614788 Only Power Pack they'll use is grown lesbian Julie. >>1615148 >Think it's their second most profitable game behind that horsegirl one, Umamusume The fuck they do to Princess Connect?

>Anime fighters are dead, everyone is copying Strive as their base because it's le profitable >SNK is dead, forever doomed to be the mudslime's fuckboy as they add more and more retarded real life guests >3D fighters are dead, Tekken shit the bed so hard it'll take them at least 10 years to clean the sheet, and I'm cautious about VF >Only SF6 is somewhat decent, and it's still a slime rushing throw looping ugly looking modern controls movement list deleting mess This genre is cucked. Time to quit playing fighting games I guess.

>>1616085 Play City of the Wolves anon, it's really good.

>>1617165 I will second this. Did not play the full game since I usually don't buy fighters at full price, but I did try out both demos they did and it was really fun. A lot of people bitched about the armored moves though, which I didn't really understand since it only lasts for 1/3 of your HP bar and filled up your heat meter a lot, and was easily beat by just grabbing if they tried to spam that shit. >>1615192 >The fuck they do to Princess Connect? Pretty sure it's still there, just that the horsegirls stole its thunder and ate some of the audience.

Fatal Cutie or Loliconvict? >>1617471 >horsegirls stole its thunder and ate some of the audience Nah, I mean that unless my memory is failing me, it felt like people had really stopping giving it any real attention before even Uma's came out.

>>1617723 >Ugly woke characters >Saudi prince bait Truly Sophie's choice. Us Soul Calibur fans are the only real winners.

>>1617723 I've heard dj guy is at least fun to play, but he should have been a dlc, and freemin should have been in the base game. >>1617519 Can we have both?

>>1617746 >Can we have both Why would you want a Fatal Loli; you're gonna go give her head pats and end up dropping dead.

>>1617754 A fatal furry with a cast of lolis would be hugely cute and funny. I would also ask for the last blade or samurai showdown to get the same treatment.

>>1617775 >fatal furry Appropriate as lolicons shove their fetish into fucking everything like furries.

>>1617889 >lolicons shove their fetish into fucking everything What's the basis for your findings, anon?

>>1617936 They draw loli versions of everything. They’re kinda worse than furries in this regard. It’s more like how trannies will make every character under the sun a tranny.

>>1618361 hide/block and move on not everything will pander to you

>>1618361 >They draw loli versions of everything I've never seen it happen to even a decimal point of the degree furries post their shit everywhere. Even with AI in the mix. Most of what I've seen has been company changes or people taking the bait given to them and never really leaving their galleries/twatter media.

>>1617936 >>1618489 There are a handful of really loud lolicons on this board who often bring it up in unrelated threads. Maybe he's just riled up due to that. >>1617746 Honestly, both the characters he's whining about are well made and play well with the rest of the roster, from what I've heard. Regardless I don't think it was a good idea due to people getting sick of crossovers as a whole, and no doubt it hindered sales somewhat. If people weren't sick of crossovers from other games doing it then I don't think people would've been that assmad over the DJ dude, especially since he worked on the OST. Now the random soccer player who isn't even the Ronaldo people meme about? Maybe that would've gotten negative reaction even if people weren't sick of crossovers. Regardless, two characters don't ruin a whole game by merely existing if they're balanced with the rest of the roster. Reminds me of the attitude people had about Sylvie Paula Paula in KOFXV with western fans throwing a tantrum and saying the game was ruined by a silly character like her.

>>1618491 >Maybe he's just riled up due to that I know how those types can be like, so I can't blame him for being antsy. >Regardless, two characters don't ruin a whole game by merely existing if they're balanced with the rest of the roster Is the base roster good? If it's shit or they're using the most boring or overused characters, that's a way to get people easily pissed about new additions. That being said, this doesn't sound anywhere as shit as Tekken getting Final Fantasy and Walking Dead characters. I miss Soul Calibur getting bonus characters made by mangaka.

>>1614583 I hate how fucking shit the roster of 2xko is, my god

>>1618563 >2xko For the love of god, tell me that isn't a league of legends game. The last thing the world needs is the them and the esports fighting game crowd to coalesce.

Street Fighter 6 is the worst, most joyless fighting game I've ever played in my life, it is so painfully unfun that I can pick a top tier and not even have fun when I win. Oh, I managed to drive rush and punish my opponent for walking backwards for a brainless BNB combo that does 60%, wow, so thrilling, this is the part of fighting games I enjoy, thank you Woshige you stupid piece of shit. People talking about this trash like it's good are complete fucking idiots, everyone lambasted SF5 for way less than this. And SF5 is currently a much better game, by the way. You should all play that. Bigger roster, finalized balance and mechanics, and actual footsies. If you dropped it around Season 2 it is in a much better state now than it was back then.

>>1618594 >For the love of god, tell me that isn't a league of legends game. Have you been asleep for the past 15 years? Riot acquired the devs of that Rising Thunder game and they've been ideafagging that whole time while getting paid millions of dollars for it. Yes, it's a League fighter. Yes, it's modern controls tag-slop and it looks like shit. What's funny is that a bunch of new tag fighters got announced over the last year that are looking like they completely mog it in content and gameplay. What were they even doing that whole time?

>>1618599 >Street Fighter 6 is the worst, most joyless fighting game I've ever played in my life Wouldn't be surprising with how spineless Oda revealed himself to be. >>1618605 >Have you been asleep for the past 15 years? I've been mostly been ignoring the western devs for the past 15 years, so in a way, yes I have been asleep, except for the times someone fails so hard it's hilarious. >What were they even doing that whole time Kicking back and only doing work when they get bored. May this game bomb hard so that the unholy monster never has a chance of being born.

Your reminder that SoulCalibur 6 introduced a tomboy loli soul edge manifestation as a major character only to have the next season canned by the lockdowns so she's literally just a voice and portrait. >>1618489 >Even with AI in the mix. AI art sites showed me faggots are as obnoxious as furries. Models for female characters always start with the character "in character" and fully dressed (at least by the character's standards) then tuck the porn away in the back of gallery. Fags however just shove huge bulge, bara shit in the model thumbnail so you see their disgusting shit when just browsing the list of models, and for many it's clear they put no effort into making it because its just a headswap on the same body in the same position.

>>1618645 >tomboy What says tomboy? There was something in the voice lines?

>>1618594 >that isn't a league of legends game Obviously it is, retard >>1618605 I fucking hate with all my guts the fact that they somehow got the kit of ekko, ahri, and even fucking JINX for a fighter game, while sidelining, or completely ignoring the ACTUAL FIGHTING GAME CHARACTERS THEY HAVE IN LEAGUE, like fucking Sett, Lee, Riven, Aatrox, hell, even that fucking nigger Arcane Pandering Ambessa, Jayce, fucking Jax and even Camille or Irelia. Fuck

>>1618704 >I fucking hate with all my guts the fact that they somehow got the kit of ekko, ahri, and even fucking JINX for a fighter game, while sidelining, or completely ignoring the ACTUAL FIGHTING GAME CHARACTERS THEY HAVE IN LEAGUE, like fucking Sett, Lee, Riven, Aatrox, hell, even that fucking nigger Arcane Pandering Ambessa, Jayce, fucking Jax and even Camille or Irelia. 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
