It never became "the" fighting game because the FGC is apparently incapable of having a "main" game that isn't Street Fighter. Whenever Smash was in Evo (pre 2020), it was one of the highest viewed games (if not the highest). There was a massive rift of hostility between the Smash Scene and the "normal" FGC.
I guess the big connector between the 2 is nerfed movement, because T7 is the most defensive Tekken while T8 is the most offensive. If you watch T8 Arslan, he plays Nina which is probably one of the few characters that can lockdown with pokes.
I dunno. It was at least a rivalry, considering both had the whole "tough guy" persona, though I think for Harada it was more of an act.
We will see. As of right now I know Killer Instinct, DoA5, and sorta Fighting EX Layer ($1) tried the F2P model, but I suppose those are probably more niche than 2XKO.
It could be in theory. I will be very surprised if it is though. Sega has to nail online, which at least did not have a good start for VF5's re-release. We'll have to see if VF6 has single player content, because it didn't seem like 5 had much. On top of that, from what little footage we have seen definitely has a cinematic aspect. At the very least there is the system shown where part of your opponent glows red and you get (likely) a cutscene for hitting them during. So even the small teaser we got is already implying they are throwing in essentially the wound system from MonHun Wilds. Here's the trailer again for a refresher.
2xko has been hit and miss for anyone who isn't a sjw shill like Max or Sajam. Apparently, one of their weekend tournaments was a bust.
I forgot Harada was involved with SC since 4. He did Soul Calibur dirty.
That's (mostly) why my youngest son kicks my ass at SF6, I never really graduated much past SF3 in terms of their mechanics. He knows all that new shit inside and out, but pops still plays like it's the 90s, lol. But when we hop on the old games... I show him what's up.
Wasn't that just the case for multiplatform game ? Not that XBOX had any real chance to become the premier console for fighting games again. But Smash is an exclusive, so I wonder if that's the case and an actual stipulation.
EVO and EWorld Sports Cup or what ever it's called aside, what about the smaller independent tournaments ? Nintendo could start anew with a push for Smash to be entrenched in the community and finance cups, players or its own just Smash tournament. Like you said, it's a successful franchise, so I doubt it's a lack of players.
Isn't that Invincible game made by a new independent studio ? Haven't followed anything about it since I don't care about the IP, but maybe they are trying something else ?
Only a couple of months and we will see what happens. Though I hope that the gameplay side gets better. Pretty sure Harada said that there was no one left at Bamco that would spearhead a new SC.
We might get a good indicator once an alpha or beta will be available and how people will respond to the more grounded game and the presence/absence of modern fighting game systems.
Smash tournaments are fairly popular in most scenes I've been to, to a point where the only tournaments I've seen in the last ~5 years were Smash but I'm not hugely invested.
A tranny is on the development team. The game is fucked. Also, Invincible is overrated, woke shit loved by fags who don't read comics. Not sorry
Majority of tie in games aren't the best, so IDK why people were hyped for Nen Impact, Invincible, and Avatar. I know Invincible has a Tekken personality involved (Rip?) but who knows how much say or if what he says is good.
Bitch, you’re a FGC personality. More specifically, you’re a quasi-retired personality that never really went anywhere. I swear Hworangs are almost as bad as the Mishima elitists.
unsurprising. predictably dumbed it down for league retards and made it boring as fuck as a result. unironic masher fighter
the invincible comic is one of my favorites, idk why they felt the need to fuck up the show so much. and what's with all the tag fighters lately? 2xko, the marvel shit, invincible. 2xko is a flop, no one liked marvel, predicting invincible is gonna be shit too. all the fighters in this ps5/xsx generation have been absolute shit except for maybe slime fighter (but let's be honest sf6 is shit too)
time to committ sudoku now? harada lava nosedive livestream when?
Not surprising, because the people who gambled on S2 clearly lost. I look forward to hearing about S3 with TWT at the end of this month, just to see how they recapture any audience before this becomes more of a failing than TTT2. I really hope at least one 3d fighter survives, but who knows.
Despite complaints from people who actually play fighting games, Blackrock Fighter 6 is still accessible to normies and grifters of all kinds. Modern mode makes and breaks characters like Viper, who used to be a technical af character in her SF4 days. You got vtumors, Japanese gravure models, and DSP at Master rank because the Blackrock 6's rank system is a joke.
he is/was also mighty ruler on tekken 8 which is insane.
Despite Capcom's corporate fuckery the core gameplay's "mostly" alright afaik, unlike Tekken that hasn't nerfed Anna after 9 fucking months bc of their gay ass, barely 100 people, competitive community lmao
That’s not a particularly good rank to be fair.
