why dont you tell me meik

>Play GG because cool anime shit
>Can't airdash
>Too much meter management
>Some of the hardest MU's to learn in any fighting game
>Even if you practice everyday you stil suck

SFV
>It's dumbed down as fuck but easy to get into
>Little meter management
>Characters are cool enough to not scare off the non Weebs
>Has a shit tons of player despite being a dumpster fire

Even with the shit launch, Capcom gained casual appeal with the promise of not pulling Super Ultra Turbo rereleases.

Meanwhile Xrd is already on its second revision and will get at least five more.

>SFV
>shit tons of players

Nigga, I don't play SFV or GG, I play Super Turbo.

Because no one actually plays KoF or GG, they just try to get people to not play SFV.
Compared to other games, yes. Injustice 2 numbers will tank in a month. Same with Tekken 7 a month after release. Good luck finding locals for those that arent fake hype launch events next year if you live outside of NY or Commifornia

>try to get into Guilty Gear
>hit a rock wall trying to get better because only the people who've been playing since 96 are still bothering
>get into SF
>there's enough people playing that you can actually find people around your skill level to play against

Simple as that. Doesn't matter if GG is "better", the fact that getting into it involves ramming your head through a brick wall of veterans is enough to kill interest.

I play both

Same thing with playing SF2, but I figured out how to do it. Git good.

Rest in piece Miguel Rossington

I play NRS games

That logic doesn't apply, since you're talking about a game that's 22 years old (unless you're bringing up the Switch version). The latest versions of GG are practically dead online and at most locals except for people who've been playing since the 90s, whereas the latest version of SF is mostly new players with a few old veterans.

Why do people keep playing fightan games when MOBAs are better?

SFV does not have a ton of players. It has issues all the time with low players and not being able to find a match. It's dead af and you are trying to justify it as alive because USF4 was. This ain't USF4.

And that's with crossplay

I play KOF

This. The problem with those games is if you get in at any time past launch day, all the people at your skill level have either quit or become very good.

And it is STILL the most played fighting game if we remove launch inflation numbers from other games where the scrubs just want to mash buttons and get mad when they actually have to learn the game.

...

I assure you injustice 2 has more players

SFV is similar to MKX a year after launch when it comes to online

Because mostly niggers play fighting games and niggers are retarded.

I like fun games and NRS makes fun games with content. No other fighting company does this. They make unfun garbage with no content, or they jew players in other massive ways such as Arksys releasing new editions every 6 months. "FGC" fags get angry that a western company that does not rely on the FGC manages to do better than any company trying to directly appeal to them.

payouts nigga

So? I still have much more fun playing GG than I do SFV. The higher skill ceiling just makes it more interesting to play, win or lose. When someone beats you in GG you know they outplayed you.

Whereas SFV is just an exercise in frustration. Losing to random coin flips to scrubs.

...

Yeah becaue Injustice 2 just fucking came out and is littered with casuals who so much as just watched a couple of Tim Bruce's DC cartoons and consider themselves hardcore fans and want to do the ebin supers with their favorite character. They'll drop it in a month.

Same thing with Tekken 7. Japan and coast cities already have years up on on the upcoming players, who will quit playing when they realize they can't keep up.

NRS games need to have tons of "kontent" because the core gameplay is total trash.

Now that Tekken 7 is coming out they both can both can die for all I care

Whats this from?

And I don't have more fun and would rather play SFV where I can play people my skill level.
>BUT DA EFF GEE CEEEEEEE
No one gives a fuck. Companies don't need to cater to your needy asses and do better when they don't.

>SFV released to cater to ESPOOOOOOOOOORTS
>massive flop
>Injustice 2 caters to people who want a fun game
>sells more than SFV and 4 combined
really makes ya think.

But it's better than SFV or GG's gameplay AND has content so why would I ever play those two games? GG just has a shitty VN and SFV has no content outside of online

Let's not forget SFV also had worse launch issues than Friday the 13th, a game made by first time indie devs

Like every NRS game that has ever come out, it'll be dead in a few months. Don't worry though because almost every fighting game is dead. Dead genre

>"stop playing sfv and play guilty gear!"
>check profile
>22 minutes played
why does this happen so much

Yeah, this. Injustice 2 is littered with unecessary content like zoning, reliable anti-air normals, and no comeback mechanics. No one needs those things.

Because 99% of GGfags are shitters who try to talk shit about more popular games while jacking off to Bridgette all day.

btfo

Zoning is bad.

t. twitch power user

88 the movie, I think he mentioned it back in 2011 or 2012.

Based on just "is it fun to watch", I'd have to disagree.

>MKX is boring as hell, they didn't even try to balance it.
>block button
>everything chips
>no one does fatalities or brutalities to mine extra salt
>Injustice every character has one good combo or you spend the game zoning

I haven't seen Injustice 2 tournament play yet.

Yeah, except the FGC are the people who actually play fighting games and dictate whether games are successful or not. If the FGC doesnt like it, the game is shit and/or dead. I'm sorry but that''s how it has always been and will always continue to be because the genre is niche.

Because SF5 players stick to their game, anime players switch over to whatever anime fighting game that just got release.

It's too weeb for most people to stomach. Just like the Naruto fighting game.

>this picture is 8 years old now
>it's been 7 years since Mike Ross had a good tournament placement

>I would rather play a shitty game based on coinflips because I can win more often

That's you. That's what you are saying.

>no one does fatalities or brutalities to mine extra salt

The reason for that was because it unecessarily extends the matches. As for everyone using 1-3 combos, its because they are the most optimized. Same shit in literally every other fighter.

This post is 10/10
That pic, though, isn't.

I just looked at the trailer, what the fuck?

Not OP but as some one who's been playing fighting games for a whole now I really wish GG was more popular

>Hating Non Non Biyori

Injustice 2 (and all netherrealm games) literally feel like you're playing a fighting game underwater.
Clunky movement and attacks, Disgusting, amateurish animations, Dial-a-combo system with no hit confirming
They just feel like absolute crap to play

Season 3 soon

Because every other game that is not sf is fucking hard to get into, not only the ammount if players is incredibly low but the skill necessary to play them is really fucking high and no one want to spend this much time learning a game.

I almost dropped gg and i only play it because i found someonee in my level to play, but im almost dropping it agains because everyone only plays either Johnny, sin or ky.I havent fought 80% of the entire fucking roster.

It is genre that is not appealing to people anynorr and most ganes sell solely by name alone.

I loved it when Perfect 0-13gend kept getting Fatality'd by Sonic Fox. It does so much mental damage in long sets.

And this is why I miss the 1 frame link from SFIV. You could stay safe and do less damage, or risk a drop and do optimized damage, burn insane amounts of meter and style on your opponent like Daigo's 25-hit combo.

GG isn't out on PC yet

I'm bad to begin with

>moving goalposts

Lmao. Go on, post the Johnny Cage gif and try to pretend like that applies to Injustice 2 somehow. You say the game has clunky gameplay, insinuating you've played it, but then say it has no hit confirms, proving you haven't played it. Sorry, not all games hit confirms are mashing jab into special.

Because that's an exhibiton set, not tournament gameplay. I think last year's evo allowed fatalities in top 8 but not in pools. This is why most NRS players always just pause and hit rematch or character select immediately, to save time, but it can get annoying.

RIP Mike 'Mike Ross' Ross
RIP Goo 'PogChamp' Tecks

I personally dropped their Adventure series when I caught 3 random episodes and it was just them high out of their minds playing like it was their first time.

The whole reason NRS games never perform well at a competitive level is because of how fucking easy they are. The skill difference between an average player and a pro player is very little when compared to SF or even Marvel. NRS games are so unrewarding to get good at that no one wants to bother. It's also boring as shit to watch because the entire match is just one player throwing projectiles because they have almost no recovery while the other one tries to move in.

NRS games are fun to play but are fundamentally shit.

Because Capcom sponsors SFV tournaments with huge cash prizes. If you're good you can make a living playing SFV but probably not GG.

Yeah i stopped watching them back in SF4 when they stopped having fun like around 2013 or 2014 and the series just turned into raging over online matches and complaining about the game being dumb when they did dumb shit like picking dan or deejay expecting to body people

>Guy brings up SF2
>You shift gears to SF5
Learn to read?

Both your opponents and posts on Sup Forums

Literally no reason to watch NRS game tourneys because SonicFox wins LOL

>all that stupid shit
No, the reason why NRS games aren't strong in the competitive scene is because of the people playing them; they're the biggest cunts in the FGC by a long shot. When the average player acts like Slayer, then nobody fucking plays.
>projectiles because they have almost no recovery while the other one tries to move in.
Spoken like a true scrub.
Pro tip: you can dash after a mid projectile.

>they're the biggest cunts in the FGC by a long shot

Are they really? Any time I watch something with ketchup and mustard, pig of the hut, or sajam (though to be fair he expanded to pretty much every fighting game pretty fast) they're all pretty nice.

Have you played/do you like ultra2?

E.Ryu looks broken from normals alone and I have not seen an exact list of balance changes but I can't see it being the new standard

NRS games are even less of a fighting game than Smash. Let that sink in for a moment.

You and the other casuals are allowed to enjoy them, just don't pretend you are part of the community you keep trying to set on fire every chance you get.

SonicFox is literally I'm behind 7 proxies: the human being. He started when he was underage so he had a lot of time to learn the characters and any time someone figures out his current one, he just switches to the next.

I still watch every week but these past 3 shows fucking Marn was ruining it for me. Not the slumlord scumbag stuff, he's not funny and he has no real thoughts about the game. At least FloE is funny while sucking.

If you enter a tourney you aren't going to be seeing Sajam and the Twins, you are going to be seeing Slayer-level fucks.
Look at how long it took the community to accept SonicFox, the guys was winning everything and people still doubted him in MKX at the beginning.
Check out CDJunior's trash talk on SonicFox about Injustice 2, and those 2 are supposed to be """"friends"""".

>it's a Sup Forums pretends they know fighting games episode

Nobody's trying to join your sinking ship, bruv.

>lol the game ur playing sucks, play THIS game
You need to realize this kind of attitude is making people even less inclined to check out your game. That goes for GG fags as well as KoFaggots.

Despite the SUPERIOR LIMB BASED COMBAT meme, Tekken fags are usually chill, though. As someone whose main game is SFV, I have also pre-ordered Tekken 7. Meanwhile, I'm staying away from GG and KoF.

Go figure.

>Check out CDJunior's trash talk on SonicFox about Injustice 2, and those 2 are supposed to be """"friends"""".

Yeesh I just watched this actually. Its funny because he goes onto win Combobreaker just yesterday.

To be fair no one would want a furry as their champion, it's like the guy who won Pokken at EVO just so people who draw more porn of his furry waifu, braixen. It's just humiliating.

Why do people keep playing one-on-one fighters when they're all the same fucking game?

>He doesn't try every fighting game

Pokken is a humilating game to play in the first place.

>B-but it's better than...

No, user stop your sperging. NRS fighting games are always worse than any fightan out there. SFV is a flaming pile of trash, but even a flaming pile of trash is better than a NRS fighting game. NRS have no idea on how to make a good core for a fighting game. Shit, they don't even know to make a shitty core, they're worse than that.

They're the best competitive games along with arena shooters and rts. People will endlessly complain about getting shitty teammates but refuse to just play 1v1 games.

It's the best measure of skills. You can't blame your team or lag like in MOBAs.

>all the same fucking game

How do you mean?

IJ2 is unironically better than SFV in every way. MKX was on par with SFV in that both are/were rushdown 50/50s oriented.

Hey guys Mike here.

I'm here to tell you to PLAY DOTA 2

Is GG playable with pad?
Pad is actually superior to stick for SFV

Because they're scared to lose alone.
Even if you're constantly bitching about teammates, at least you have other people to blame.
The reality is that most people are complete pussies to stand for themselves and take the L alone.

Why don't you let another man fuck you in the ass, homie? I mean, you probably haven't tried it, right?

GG's & KoF's visuals are giving me eye cancer and fight progression doesn't look that appealing, but if the community hadn't been a bunch of hooting dickholes, I might have checked them out anyway. Not like this, though.

t. never played a fighting game

>He wants a team based fighter.

Thats the last thing fighting games need

>try
If "trying" wasn't attached to shelling out 70 bucks with more potential DLC and revisions on the way, then nah, this shit can fuck right off.

why do people who know nothing make such bold claims?

But it's a fighting game. Loosing = Learning. If everyone is at an decent skill level that only means you have more opportunities to improve.

You go to the lab and practice. You look up some tech online. Then go back to the lobby and play your ass off.

You will see that the "better players" are not even that good.

They all have the exact same gameplay as they did in the 16-bit era. Why are they still relevant when they have had as much innovation as the annual Pokemon?

kolin is a cheap character because of her bullshit parry

No no friend, I want you to explain further than that, since you're clearly an authority on the subject.

What are the core aspects of fighting games that literally haven't changed in 25+ years? What do you think they need to change or innovate on?

And then this happened
youtube.com/watch?v=EHNo1Lje-Ec

I dont know why everyone is complaining about Deadshot when Black Adam seems more OP. It takes like 5 minutes to learn his main damage combo and his regular damage output without the trait or meter is insane too.

>why are they still relevant by doing the same thing as an extremely relevant and popular franchise
i'm not sure you thought this one through

Daily reminder that Mike is Literally on suicide watch.

What the fuck do you mean? It's been the same 2D-plane buttonmashing gobbledigook ever since Mortal Kombat. Fighting games were as good as they were ever going to get then and they're fucking irrelevant.

What happened?

seems pretty happy in the kenny omega preview

he's letting his hair go full nigga though
