The Fighter Thread

Heyo, have they revealed the final new fighter that'll be in ULTRA Street Fighter IV yet?
 
I've always wanted to get into Street Fighter, but it's really just too difficult for me. The timing on the inputs is so precise, that it frustrates the hell out of me. Hats off to the people who are really good. I'll just have to stick to being a spectator.
 
Currently playing Tekken Revolution in support of Namco and fighting games in general. Will be supporting Killer Instinct and Double Helix. Time for a new fighting game on the market besides the usual suspects. If KI is successful we could probably have series like Darkstalkers on next gen consoles.

About arcade sticks

I'll buy one later custom made (compatible with all next gen consoles).

Negative.

Jacker, we should setup a scrimmage night or afternoon. Even bring in some new blood to get their timing aligned with Super IV.

I mostly play BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend currently. Mostly with my friend to keep his technique strong. I am a casual fighter again, but have been yearning for some competition to ignite the fires of passion! T_T

I never let myself play Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. I had it on the Dreamcast, but never got around to exploring the title. We should definitely get a crew beating each others skulls in again. Those were fun days, very fun days!
 
Daigo in a bid to restore order cleared the akuma/infil webs away.


First xian blanked and now the former evo champ lost 10-2.

:crazy::eek:
 
The Blazblue series: BB Calamity Trigger / BB Continuum Shift and BB Continuum Shift: Extend have been released on the 360 before, but it seems that the new sequel to the story arc, ChronoPhantasma won't.
I'm asking for your help to sign the petition to have the game released on 360 for the fighting game fans.
For those unfamiliar with the game (highly unlikely considering the thread), here's a trailer:

Thanks in advance.

This is an unfortunate reality for me as well. It looks like so much fun for people who are good and know what they are doing. Sadly, I do not fit that category.
 
I didn't see an official fighting games thread like there was at Teamxbox so, here's one. Ultra Street Fighter 4 video to get us started.

I don't understand why it's exclusive. BB is already a niche fighting game to begin with. With that being said you'll be crazy to not own both consoles in 2013.
 
It is indeed weird that the 'final' version of Blazblue is not being released on the Xbox 360. I am actually a sap and have Calamity Trigger, Continuum Shift and CS Extend.. I still only use BANG though. Does anyone here play on 360? I would like to engage more fighters rather than hunting the ranked leaderboards. My game isn't as strong as I would like it to be. Need more training.

Also there are new changes for Ultra SF4.. you can use both ultras at the same time and have a multi hit absorbing Focus called the Red Focus that burns meter to eat more hits. Interesting.. tbh.. hah Oh well, more nerfs to Vega I guess are incoming. A ninja who is one of the slowest characters in the game.. *cries*

I'm a huge Blaze Blue fan the game is so addictive. I never got around to buying CS Extended so I can't wait for the the new entry. I have it on Ps3 but it wont accept disc.

:(

For me it's all about Hazama. He made a fun game addictive. I spent so much time learning him back in the day. When I finally get back to the series it will be like starting from scratch.

:smash:

How can anyone say he doesn't look bad azz?

About Ultra SF4.. I think it's cool you can play both ultras at the same time but how would it effect gameplay from a balance standpoint? Will some characters be over powered? Honestly I got bored of the new SF a long time ago it's not addictive like the old games in the series. I Hope this update will get me back into SF4 again.

:grin:
 
I wouldn't be surprised if Ultra SF4 made it's way to next gen consoles. With a 2014 release date I certainly don't see a logical reason for it not to. I mean imagine how many potential SF buyers won't even have their 360/PS3s come 2014 because the sold/traded them in for an X1/PS4.

I don't think anyone would give Capcom are hard time if it was a $39 release and at least featured 1080p/60fps for X1/PS4.
 
Guaranteed Ultra SF4 will come to next gen. Just a matter of when.

Aside from KI and the Kinect Fighters Within game (if that even counts as a fighting game), are there any next gen fighters on the horizon? No MK, VF, Tekken yet?

Capcom messed up so horribly this gen they don't have the money to get it done. The good news is they are hiring for a new announced fighting game franchise.

:bang:

A port of Injustice is confirmed for PS4. All I know of.

I simply can't believe that. Capcom is in THAT bad of shape?

Besides, how could they have the money to make a NEW game from the ground up but not have the money to simply port an existing game. If money is tight than Capcom should cash in real quick on next gen buyers and get Ultra SF4 on X1/PS4 before they attempt something new.

Business 101.

I'm too lazy to dig into why, but there must be some super high development costs and/or games that totally bombed making their balance sheet sink.

It's old, but for one thing that Bionic Commando 3 years ago game stunk and sold terribly. But that's only one game.
 
Well Capcom just needs to stay focused on established IPs. I can't imagine with all the RE/DMC/Fighting games they've released they are financially hurting.
 
Yeah I'm very disappointed that they're not bringing the next BB to 360.

I can only hope they decide to start porting the series to PC.

My friend loves Hazama but his limited ranged normals bother him. He uses Ragna and Jin, while I use Bang, Tsubaki and Valkenhyn. I know I say I only use Bang but I do use the other 2. I am just most proficient with Bang, I haven't updated my combos for the second characters since Continuum Shift. In CS Extend I only use Bang in the trials. I prefer a smaller combo game with baits, feints and mind games. I still have to work on my normals and execution, I miss a lot of combos for no reason, but I have a devastating air combo that I can maybe use once if I'm lucky in a fight. I have to really catch you unaware for it to work. I hit Aqua Snake with it when we used to train and he was like Will Smith.



Good times!

From what I read, when you have access to both ultas you have a significant damage reduction for the versatility.

glad to see this thread is back, now it feels like home

Feel the same!

We should do some Union scrims. Hear that Fighting Community!?
