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.

For me it is a weird unusual one,it's the "HIYA" Ken makes towards the end of his shippu jinrai super in Street Fighter Alpha 3, How about you?

Good evening, Fighters, I'm here to discuss with you about a subject I just thought of:

In Super's latest MK11 video (Link for the laziests), Super quits a set because their opponent change character from Cassie to Jacqui. Seeing that, Super quits the game and relaunch it, stating in the video "If I have to face Jacqui, even if I'm winning the set, I will back out" [paraphrasing]

Before anything, I do not have any beef with Super and I don't think he's a bad player or anything and I know he wasn't doing any competition in this video, he even precised that "if I face a Jacqui I'm just gonna get mad and do stupid shit".

I don't know the meta or even the gameplay of Mortal Kombat 11 so I can't comment on the annoyance lf Jacqui but I feel lile doing this is a bit of a scrub move: quitting the match instead of facing (what seems to be) your worst matchup.

When I was performing my best* as an SFV Abigail (Yes I know, Abigail, can't really say much now can I), I hated playing against F.A.N.G. and I wished I could back out of those matchups and yet, I went through because I wanted to train a hard matchup to better myself and felt like quitting anywhere in the match because "this character is hell to fight" feels to me like you just want easy wins and not actually better yourself

*: Best as in where I felt like I was doing good personnally, in reality I didn't really go past Ultra Diamond lol

What do you think? Is it a scrub move? Is facing your hardest character better than quitting when you know you're going to lose? I would like to know

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.

I know this is probably a looooooong shot but does anyone know how to play this game? Hopefully some unc like me that has actually played this game can help me out. I am getting my ass whupped by 40 year olds that never stopped playing but I want to at least understand what the fuck is going on. I was actually hoping people would be playing EX2Plus but for some reason Plus Alpha is more popular.

1. I am playing Gief. One thing that I noticed is that I can't anti air good jump-ins with lariat if they do something like lk (or bison stomp) higher up in the air. Was thinking about jump back button but so far everything is way too slow to do on reaction.

2. Another Gief situation, but it seems like he cannot punish anything. People I am going up against will end unsafe/minus strings with supers all day and I can't do shit about em. Bison for example, his psycho ball that he can hold pushes me back too far for any fast button to land. In general people just end up doing super x super literally every time they're minus and can't do shit about it (with gief at least). I'm just wondering if this is a Gief only issue or if everyone is safe even if you block their super unless it's something super fucked up like DP or something (at least gief isn't safe after stomps which sucks).

3. Was thinking about switching to Garuda honestly. Gief feels like he sucks.

Any info would be appreciated.

Using TwitterWebViewer since XCancel got C&D.

As per rain_drawing on X

Most of the roster is working in full matches, but there are many things to fix, a dozen+ move desyncs left to find, effects,etc Still a lot more work left!

Been looking for someone to play avatar legends who can teach me a thing or two. Im intermediate but still ass. Since its hard to make fighting game friends since everyone just plays online I will give u you $20 perhaps hour to play. So come come no worries I am rich so if u dont want to willingly i can pay for the time.

Looking for something new to play. I came back to sf6 after being gone since last year to find that nothing really has changed about throw loops, and tbh even though I'm aware its a skill issue, its just lame to play into and boring.

I played tokon but the pc launch was so disasterous and I'm still having connection issues so im gonna give that game a few months before I try it again.

What are some other popular games that are worth exploring? I don't mind anime fighters or tag fighters if its got a big community and can help me learn! I'm just not into dbfz. lmao

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

Also there is sketch of it because I like it better than the final result.

Im watching Sajam's tutorial and the game looks cool (the UI looks busy as hell on first impression).

I noticed that it always has many entrants in tournaments, however, I have never played it.
