Any fighting game fans out there??

Hey folks, I just ordered a game called The Rumble Fish. It's a 2D fighter that for some reason was never ported over to the US. It has a sequel in Japanese arcades as well. Just curious if anyone else has any experience with it.

That game was weird. I played it at a few arcades, all I remember is the old sighting seeing dude and that the more you get hit the more your cloths fall off.
 
I've won a couple of local tournaments in Soul Calibur, but I'll be damned if I'll acknowledge the existence of number 3. Splitting Knightmares moveset between two characters? Sinful! My two favourite combos are now impossible, because each of them got HALF of the necessary moves... grr.
Also, nobody can lose a Virtua Fighter duel faster than I can.

I have one of Guts i will post the pics today :guts:
I created a Guts, Griffith and Casca. Guts in all fairness was the hardest, as you can't really get a cannon/crossbow combo and I keep wanting to change his hairstyle among a variation of 3. Griffith was slightly easier, but still looks a bit bulky compared to what he should be (no thinner model) and Casca by far came out the best, but its real hard to get her skin tone.

Say what you will about the battle/tournament mechanics for SC3, but outside of those flaws (which all SC' have regardless, just not as noticeable as in 3) 3 was noticeably improved multitudes over SC1 and SC2 in terms of a stand alone game.

As for fighters, I'm a massive fan of Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, Mark of the Wolves, Samurai Shodown, KOF and Last Blade.

Yea SC3 wuz definitely a disappointment. Jankie combos, lame move lists, and the split of nightmare. And by far the most heinous, takin away taki's unblockable cancel. Jesus man could they have done anymore to destroy such a good game franchise. But as far as my gamin goes... i've been in plenty of tournaments, in fact, i was supposed to go to Final Round in atl but i made the mistake of moving away from home. /me kicks the shit out of himself.

... and of course all of the old classics. SF, Mortal Kombat, King of Fighters, and Killer Instinct.

I wouldn't mind seeing another SF game come out.

I'm wondering when the next GG will come out, since Accent Core came out before I could get Slash.

SF Doesn't seem to need a new installment to me. 3rd Strike works well, and aside from maybe some ballance issues on the side of the Shotokans, I can't think of much that needs changing. Maybe if they brought back some of the old cast it might make the game a bit more interesting though, I mean who the fuck thought of characters like 12, Necro, Oro, and the near naked Urien who spouts out sadistic phrases like 'Kill!' while he fights.

I have a feeling GGXX will end with Accent Core. XX revamped the system into what it is now, #Reload ballanced it, and Slash added some of the characters from Isuka (and kinda broke the system with new moves), so hopefully Accent Core will top off the system and be the final, ballanced version with a complete cast and system. I've heard rumors of a 3D version being the next installment, which will likely suck utterly but has potential for total awesomeness if pulled off correctly. How the hell they plan to do characters like Faust and Eddie/Zato-1 is beyond me though.

I wouldn't mind a Capcom All-stars fighting game, as long as it doesn't seem just slapped together like CFE did.

The only Shoto balance problems I see in 3S is that Sean sucks, and Ken is just a little bit too good. But Ken has nothing as abuseable as Yun's SAIII.

I doubt it will end with Accent Core, mainly because they added so many features that I'd expect a few more rebalancings. Though from what I've heard, Slash is more balanced than #R, since Eddie pretty much owned everyone else in #R, though he was even more broken in XX.

And I don't like the look of AC Johnny. So I'm hoping for rebalances anyways.
 
I think the shotokans were pretty balanced in SF3, even Sean had his knacks (still not a fave though). I do agree with some people that Ken experienced a serge in popularity after the (now infamous) daigo incident, and I think a lot of people tend to over-estimate Ken in the long run now (still my favorite SF character overall actually).

And what's changed about Johnny in AC? I haven't seen or played it yet, so did they change his sprite or is his character portrait bleh?

Ken is solidly top tier. While he doesn't have Genei-Jin or something comprable, he is just good in every area, so he has no real weakness. And Ken was popular pre-Daigo vs. Wong anyways.

Sean's only saving graces are shoto normals and a fast dash. All his specials suck (seriously, his version of hurricane kicks is punishable on hit) and his supers are nothing to brag about either.

No, they changed the Mist Finers and Divine Blade Transport. Looks like no more 1-hit Ensengas because of the DB changes, and Lv.2 MF is no where near as good as it was anyways. His new Killer Joker move looks interesting though, and 6K being Mist Cancelable is cool. But from what reports I've seen, the changes to DBT have killed his high/low game.

I agree with you, but there was definitely a serge (At least at my arcades) afterwards where people believed Daigo to have unlocked some hidden Ken strategy that they could apply to every match, completely ignoring personal skill. Ken's top tier, but I wouldn't quite place him in God (Even if he is my favorite)

I was taking his disadvantages into consideration, but you did have me on the specials, I really forgot how terrible they were.

You're kidding me! Damn, well, I'll have to wait for myself to see it, hopefully the change isn't as drastic as it sounds from my end of things.

The new Hokuto no Ken fighting game on Ps2 is pretty awesome, even though there aren't so many playable characters, strongly recommended.

I just got around to playing it the other day, its okay. The animation is top notch but it will take me a while to get used to the controls. The instant kill moves are kinda lame upon actually using them. Hopefully some stuff will be fixed if there is a sequel, Guilty Gear XX still rocks the house.

Well to rag on Sean some more, his dragon punch gets beat out by throws.
And I've heard that Makoto might've taken Ken's spot in the top tier. It's kinda up in the air, Ken plays safer, but if Makoto guesses right 2-3 times, she wins the match.


In Guilty Gear news, the PS2 release of AC was apparently pretty glitch heavy, though there is a Wii release scheduled, hopefully it'll turn out better. Still sad that Johnny is on the bottom tier. He was the first character I learned to play as in GGXX.

GGAC(Guilty Gear Accent Core) is coming to the Wii, another incentive to buy the system. Another 200 bucks out of my pay check, FUCK!!!!!!

The only thing that could save that would be using the classic controller. I am very skeptical that GG would be enjoyable on the Wii. Smash Brothers, maybe. Guilty Gear, no way.

Edit: Apparently they're doing a new control system for the Wiimote accompanied by Classic and Gamecube controller support. This could be interesting!

Yeah my friend bought this game the day it came out in JP, he is a huge HNK fan, I while not a fan of the show I found the game to be very entertaining as a fighting game fan.
 
Capcom's putting out another SF2 game:

Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix (what a title :schierke:)

Everything I read and watched in those links just seems to hint at the SSF2HD remake. Which could be cool, as long as they add a few new moves or something.

I didn't recognize any of the Mega Man games shown in the interview trailer. What was the more recent game they kept showing? It looked pretty cool.
