Just downloaded Fightcade. A lot more choices compared to GGPO, but the netplay itself isn't nearly as good imo.

Will still mess around with it if TL'ers also decide to.

Nam-Gyuri. Name sounds familiar to when I used to listen to K-Pop.

She played amazingly solid. Combos, decent movement, some throw breaks. Also happened to stumble upon this from r/kappa.

What platforms are fighting games played on nowadays? I prefer to play on PC, and see Steam has a bunch of it there like Tekken X Street fighter etc.
Also, I have a MadCatz TE Round 2 for PS3, is it now possible to make it work on pc? I hear a lot of stuff about a certain type of USB that it needed to be plugged in. I also have a regular Hori Real Arcade (ps3), and it seems to be a lot of solutions on the net for that one atleast. Fucking PS3, never will I have a console again, wasted to much money on that crap and never used it.

And are there any fighting games newly come out that are the new hot shot?

I could see an argument for T5DR being a good practice edition for T7, since it doesnt have the bound based combo system of t6/ttt2... but a lot of chars would be 'missing' moves that they have in the later versions. Id argue ttt2 and just playing solo mode would probably be better because youll be able to get matches online easier.

Im not expert, just noticed a good few things I was used to from ttt2 Steve arent there in T5 when I played it a few months back.

Just don't bother practicing throw escapes lol

Same developers. They made Blazblue after Guilty Gear to experiment with different mechanics and stuff. They also made UNIEL and Persona, they're basically the " anime fighting game developers ".

Guilty Gear is their flagship franchise tho.

For super in the corner with dauntless, theres better finishers than S1
(pause) S3b -> H
dash forward -> f.M -> H
jump forward -> air.S1

Some high Dauntless that I saw on streams were using S3a. Mostly to keep S1 safe and to do j.H -> H -> S2 dash S3a S1 for 300+ damage

I'm getting more and more annoyed that I don't have my opponents cooldowns and meter. Complete information is a crucial part of fighting games imo and pretty much the only genre that actually has it. Not having that will most likely kill this game for me.

I was wondering about that myself. It's not like they can keep it that way if they ever plan to have offline matches, and it's hard to imagine they'd make a fighting game and not offer local versus. And they show opponent's super meter so it's not like it's all hidden.

Anyone else find it really fucking cheesey that someone can just do a 50-60% combo on you the moment they land one hit via pressing like 3 buttons. The simplified controls make it feel bullshit wheras in real fighters youre just impressed they managed to pull off such a sick series of inputs. Well, i find it cheesey at least.

It doesn't really bother me to be honest. This game is more about reads and recognizing opportunities to punish and about neutral game. I still like and play games like street fighter and guilty gear but I definitely enjoy playing this.

proof that those uhh.. melee FG fundamentals are kicking in.. or something i guess lol

seriously though this is the perfect 2d fighter for me. Since im a melee player im awful with stick execution and in general im one of the less technical players. Being able to jump in and use my brain from the start is the best

ahhhh I want to play some more. I got up to gold over the weekend but my internet hasnt been cooperating all week

Did test out revolving hook instead of vandal as dauntless some. The damage increase in BnBs is cool, it offers a different mixup opportunity with baiting stuff than the usual vandal feint -> throw, but I do kinda like the ability to vandal feint away from bad jump in situations etc. cant wait to play more once I get my computer issues resolved!!

Do you ever start losing more than you win in ranked at a certain point? Cause I wasn't really paying attention but im pretty sure with even a 50% win rate youd get at least to diamond eventually.

Patch Notes, Build 1263
By risingthunderAugust 11, 2015

System
Block stun frames on many anti-air moves reduced to 15 frames. It’s still safe to Kinetic Advance forward dash these moves after they’re blocked, but the opponent will have frame advantage.
Block stun on several other moves reduced to 17 frames, making them roughly even after a Kinetic Advance forward dash.

Chel
S2 block stun reduced to 15 frames.
S2 no longer hits opponents behind Chel.

Dauntless
New S1 variant! Diesel Strike hits high, but opens up new combo opportunities.
S2 block stun reduced to 15 frames.
S3 block stun reduced to 17 frames.
S2 no longer hits opponents behind Dauntless.

Edge
F+M has been overhauled with an updated animation, slightly longer startup and recovery, and more accurate hurt-boxes.
S2 block stun reduced to 15 frames.
S2 no longer hits opponents behind Edge.
S3 slide block stun has been reduced by 2 frames. It is still safe on block, but the opponent has frame advantage.
S3 overhead hit is no longer cancelable into specials.- S3 overhead hit stun has been increased by 1 frame

Talos
New S1 variant! Meteor Slam becomes armored immediately, but it cannot be charged or kinetic-canceled like Meteor Breaker.
F+H block stun reduced to 17 frames. Talos is slightly negative after kinetic-cancelling this move into a forward dash.
F+H no longer hits opponents behind Talos.
Fully charged S1v1 has been overhauled with an updated animation and extended ground bounce to allow free follow-ups, similarly to fully charged S2v1. To compensate, its damage has been reduced from 250 to 225.

Vlad
Uncharged S2 block stun reduced to 15 frames.
Charged S2 block stun reduced to 17 frames.

Bug Fixes
Standardized all normal air reaction hurt-boxes, so most juggles should work consistently against the entire cast. Remaining custom throw reactions will be standardized soon.
The last hit of Dauntless’ forward throw now connects consistently.
Talos’ air throw distance against Edge and Vlad has been corrected to match the other characters.

Visual Improvements
Eye gleam added to Edge’s Overdrive attack.
Dauntless’ steam power is now operational.
Raised Talos’ fist slightly in c.L animation to better convey that it can be blocked high.
Cleaned up Talos S1v1 whiff and S2v1 whiff animations.
Enhanced impactfulness of Talos normal throws by 200-800% (in metric units, of course).
Cleaned up camera cuts in Talos and Vlad’s Overdrive attacks.

Standardized all normal air reaction hurt-boxes, so most juggles should work consistently against the entire cast. Remaining custom throw reactions will be standardized soon.

MKX is still big though and NRS seems to want to continue supporting it, not sure why youd stop? It's just not big with the same set of players, but NRS just announced another like 100k in pot bonuses or something right? No clue what the EU scenes are like for NRS games though, that could be a different experience entirely.

Can't get into fighters because of the graphics....? I mean, maybe look into Tekken 7 eventually but other than that I don't think that mindset will lead you to much enjoyment with fighters.

Yes yes and yes. It have to be visually stimulating to hit someone. When I do a combo it needs to satisfy something in me. 9
