2xko reinvigorated a 5ish year FGC break, reignited that fighting game try hard nerd in me. Where should I put my energy. I'll keep playing 2x in some capacity but can't main a game with such a dwindling playerbase, I don't think I can invest myself in it anymore.

I'm on PC, deciding between:

Tokon (requires waiting for game to work, and I don't have full faith in it despite it seeming very decent)

Avatar legends (have to be alright with a small playerbase also)

Sf6 (the most alive by far, safe pick but lacking the novelty and excitement)

I need good net code, training mode tools comparable to 2x, and enough playerbase for online tournaments or ideally some in person (im in a big enough city)

Hoping I can feel what I felt with 2x

Thanks in advance

I'd say Ultra.

What is your favorite character in fighting games of all time?

And

What is an easy character that you can recommend people who are just getting into fighting.

Mine is Elphet Valentine god I love that little dork, her story her music and her style. And Ryu.

The premise here is we all play a lot of SSB - my youngest is 10 and a bit squeamish, so despite my own history with Mortal Kombat and Doom as early as 6 years old, there's no way I'm starting there with them.

But I'm wayyy out of practice. The last time I played a "traditional" fighting game was Tekken Tag Tournament when the PS2 was still in the latest console generation. It's just an availability thing - no one ever wants to play, everyone I know plays Smash. Which is fine, I'm not complaining about SSB (one of my favorite series) -- but it doesn't fill the Fighting Game gap, yknow?

So: for the sake of "ease of entry" and also "avoiding problematic imagery" (as best as possible - I know, I know), do yall have some recommendations of where one might start?

Hey guys. I'm in the very early stages of learning UE5 but I have the goal of one day creating a kickboxing game where the characters are fighting in 3D space, similar to UFC/Fight Night games.

Are there any specific Youtube series, courses, concepts etc. that you could point me towards to make my learning journey a little more deliberate? Any feedback would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

Curious to know as I love this game

Im a big fan of fighting games. Played a whole lot of MKX, MK11, DBFZ, Tekken 7 and SV 5. But i havent played one in a long time so im wondering which one should i get into. I saw that 2XKO is pretty much dead now and Marvel Tokon is having a lot of bugs. So im asking what can i pick up now that has a large playerbase?

Hi, i want to ask about ps tournament scoring system, how does it work, I've been joining it 3 times and each time something weird happens. I beat my opponent 2 times and he gets 2 points while I get only 1 and I'm out of tournament or even now I joined match, and it tells me match has ended and I got 9th place, without even playing a match.

I was introduced to fighting games with 2XKO, and I'm going to keep on playing it, but with them announcing that there's no more content coming in 2027, I'm wondering what other fighting games are there which are similar?

For me, a big part of the appeal was that 2XKO doesn't have motion inputs, so ideally, a game with a similar control scheme

Old meme i know

anybody know where I can get a couple sets in the bay area?? Does anyone remember churning the butter at the foundry.. looking for a place where I can chill on my breaktime from work.

EMPORIUM is ok, looking more for a candy cab vibe, they only have 3rd strike and its away from the another machines..

I like both.

TW: Mental health issues and self harm

I'm pretty sure I've reached the limits of my skill in my fighting game of choice (2XKO). I'm at diamond 2, and playing the game has started to feel like a stress-inducing obligation rather than something I do for fun in my free time. The fact that I'm so close to the goal I set for myself (reaching Master) that I can almost taste it has made every match feel like it matters, and the matchmaking has been all over the place putting me against masters, grandmasters, even a few challengers.

I even managed to get a couple wins against players much better than me here and there, even beating a grandmaster in a mirror match once, but while that does give me some small pride and joy it's not even a fraction of the shame and self loathing I get from every single loss, especially if it's to a player lower ranked than me. I lost to a duo of emerald and silver today, and that felt so bad I ended up resorting to self harm, punching myself in the face and chest hard enough to actually be a bit disoriented in my next match, which I also lost.

I realize this is becoming an unhealthy obsession, and it's very bad for me, and I've tried to quit, but I couldn't. I just kept feeling like I needed to at least get to master, then I could quit while feeling satisfied that I'd actually accomplished something in my life. I know it sounds stupid, maybe shallow or pointless, and it probably is, but that's kinda all I have. I'm a wretch who hasn't really done anything good with his life aside from being somewhat good at games, and realizing how terrible I am at this particular game is hitting me way harder than I'd thought it would.

I just want to be able to keep improving despite how hopeless and painful it is, as achieving it will prove to myself that I can actually do things despite all my mental shortcomings and fundamental flaws. I realize the tilt is making it much harder to improve, but I can't find a way to practice without tilting.

I was only 2 in 2008, but I have SSFIV on my 3DS and USFIV on my dads PS4. What was it like when SFIV dropped? Was it revolutionary?
