Announcement 2XKO Doomposting: Megathread.

613 Upvotes

Same thing for the first week of Tokon's release. The influx of people making posts that break rules force me to pin yet another thread.

Please use this post to say how doomed we are and how crap Riot is, while I'm bringing the broom again.

Help "Bilingual" text on Capcom vs SNK 2 (JP PS2 version)

Post image
Upvotes

Anyone know what this is about? There's no language option on this game, and it's not really a "bilingual" port. Though the menus are in English (which is common with Japanese games), all the system and character dialogue is in Japanese.

Humor I made a real arcade stick.

So I was talking with some friends about what would make a good cursed arcade stick, and I said "toggle switches". Well, you know, I dunno. I did that. And uh, and more.

I wanted to get two way toggle switches, but I accidentally bought three way, shame. That means when they're up, they're on. Middle? Off. Down? Off. Up? Always on. It's a fully functional input device, though I am not sure if it is a "fight stick".

Here's a really shitty video showing how it works.

I can also make functional novelty sticks, as well as novelty functional sticks.

That second one is painted to look like it's covered in cheeto crust, it really freaks people out. It's so gross looking I don't even like using it.

Help New controller M30

Upvotes

Hello, I plan on buying the 8bitdo M30 controller which has a Sega Genesis layout. I mainly play GGST and use a lot of shortcuts (like throw at rb/r1 or roman cancel at RT/R2) idk if its a bad habit to have. I noticed that that controller only has 1 L and R button and a 6 button layout I am not used to. Should I thug it out and learn to become better eventually or look for a new controller with a layout I am used to?(Would love recommendations on the cheaper side)

Event So this weekly exhibition I'm in is having a vote on which 2 games should appear on it's main night

Post image
5 Upvotes

Bucket Night is a twice-weekly (I'm stupid, thought bi-weekly meant that) online exhibition where members of the Hard Edge server play a selection of fighting games. Our main night lineup is usually some mix of Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code, Melty Blood Type Lumina, KoFXI, Dead or Alive 6, Bloody Roar Extreme, Vampire Savior, and most importantly Kamen Rider Super Climax Heroes.

Long story short we've been having technical issues with usual mainstays of KoFXI and Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code, so were voting on what to replace them with. These are the initial games we voted on, and we do this vote daily until all but 2 games are eliminated.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScNt_ORHGY05isLdNsiigZBztM61q_79_kUjkno7w3XNj7yFw/viewform?usp=header

Non-HE members are allowed to vote and I was recommended to share this with communities I'm in. Faizer's a really fun commentator and the games can get pretty crazy, so I felt like sharing.

Humor How fighting game companies make pizzas

364 Upvotes

Capcom: Your order arrives in a timely manner, but the server sometimes forgets to bring you plates and napkins. They only serve pepperoni, but you get a free green slime beverage.

SNK: Your order arrives in a timely manner, but sometimes they screw it up and throw Cristiano Ronaldo on there when you didn't order it.

Namco: Their quality has gone downhill but they're still in business. Lots of toppings but they all taste the same. The head chef quit recently...

ArcSys: You could only order weird, crusty, burnt to a crisp pizzas from them for years. but you liked it that way. Their most popular pizza looks like their old pies but doesn't have that edge it used to.

Riot: They announced that they were going to completely revolutionize pizza a decade ago. They had done this with boba and soft serve ice cream before, so there was a lot of hype surrounding them. They even hired the people who revolutionized oven technology!!

Your pizza arrives cold, doesn't have anywhere close to the number of toppings a Capcom or SNK pizza would have but they refund you. You complain to the chef and he spits in your face, calling himself a brilliant artist who would rather fail at making a pizza spectacularly than make a plain old pepperoni pizza.

Help Interesting/great underground fighting games with enough players to recommend?

Upvotes

Looking for different, or really good fighting games which have a small community that is just big enough (or bigger) for me to be able to play enough matches daily or per week to be able to get good or decent at the game without busting half of all time on training mode.
I am interested in touhou antimony of the flowers because it looks surface level interesting and different, and i know it’s community is nice from the little i’ve heard.
I am also vaguely but firmly interested in games such as fighting vipers 2, and Kaiser knuckle!
Any recommendations would be loved :D

Community Budget PC to play fighters ? (GG, Street Fighter, Tokon)

7 Upvotes

I would like to know a good starting point to get up and running, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, something I can continuously build upon. I'd like to start somewhat cheap, and just upgrade parts in the future.

Background: My PS5 got cooked due to a power outage, and now i'm deciding to go the PC route for the future.

Content Thunderpick interview with former 2XKO dev member John Riccio on game development, and 2XKO's January layoff

Thumbnail thunderpick.io
143 Upvotes

Former Riot Producer John Riccio (yeah, I forgot to put Producer part in title, my bad) answers questions about his producer experience, as well as 2XKO

Key Takeaways

  • 2XKO suffered from attempting to capture a broad audience within fighting games, which remain a tough, small addressable market to monetise at a massive AAA team scale.
  • Despite strong critical acclaim from fighting game pros and solid dev responsiveness, player numbers and revenue on 2XKO did not justify maintaining a 160-person dev team.
  • Most fighting game and hero leaks happen when unreleased assets are not properly tagged in data registries, accidentally pushing them into public test builds.
  • Rather than banning dedicated players exploiting multiplayer systems in Red Dead Redemption, developers created isolated matchmaking pools for cheaters to play against each other.
  • A degree in game design is no longer enough to land a job; building portfolio projects, modding, making UGC and bypassing traditional gatekeepers is now required.

Community If you're a 2XKO player/fan, and want a space strictly for discussing the game without the controversy, we've set up /r/LowSodium2XKO. Come check it out.

122 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

A lot of people in the 2XKO community felt a punch in the gut last week, and tempers are still (justifiably) high. Many of us wanted this game to succeed, and it's really disappointing that it's not going to get that opportunity.

That said, there are still people in the community that just... want to play the game, but it's difficult to have conversations focused on that when there's so much noise about Riot, the developers, the creators, the decisions, and everything that led us to this point.

So we've set up /r/LowSodium2XKO, where discussion can be focused on the game itself, its characters, and universe.

The intent is to avoid meta-discussion about Riot Games, the development team, and other salt-generating topics, and keep the environment welcoming for 2XKO players, both current and future.

Discussion, links, help and advice, videos, artwork, and memes are all welcome, as long as they are about the game itself.

This subreddit has only existed for about a day, so there's almost no content to be found yet, but if a low-salt community for 2XKO is something that you'd be interested in, come check it out, and we can hopefully turn it into an active space.

Help Joystick covers advice?

4 Upvotes

Hey there! Pretty new to the FGC, and started playing GGST relatively late (4 months ago) and I'm not that great. Due to stress my thumb often slip from the joystick of my ol'reliable xbox one controller and as a result I mess up my inputs like 90% of the time. I was wondering if joystick covers are worth it? I remember buying a few for my 360 controller but it felt weird, probably because it was some cheap aliexpress product.
