Which Fighting Game Should I Try Out?

CyberGama · January 17, 2015, 05:14:11 PM

The reason why BlazBlue and MK is not on this list is because i already have those games, also SSB is not on this list because i don't have a WiiU, or any Wii in general, i don't even have a Nintendo 3DS.

Soul Calibur 2. <3

Never played any on your list other than Street Figher, so I'm not much of a help.

I actually forgot about that game, i'll put that on the list

>playing SC2 on any console but Gamecube

What systems do you own?

~~Smash isn't a fighting game anyway.~~

Um... All of the above! Fighting games are fun. I would nix Killer Instinct and Guilty Gear, though. KI hasn't been good since the '90s and Guilty Gear has probably the steepest learning curve of the ones you listed. Street Fighter is the quintessential fighting game for... "beginners" (that is to say... it's entry-level), Marvel is hard to get into unless you're heavy into the community, and SoulCalibur... is probably your best option. It pretty much perfected the balance between "fun for casuals" and "fun for competitive".

scii may have had link on gamecube, but ps2 had heihachi

who is like, god-tier
whereas link, though cool, is notoriously the weakest in the game

as for spawn?... lol whatever, fuck xbox

also, more importantly

how familiar are you with fighting games

i should've asked that first

A lot, i'm very familiar of how fighting games work, it's simple once you know how it works out.

Interesting, i'll see if i can pick up Guilty Gear xrd, i heard that game was pretty fun.

EDITED: Nevermind, it's on Playstation 4, really? first Street Fighter now Guilty Gear, this is really pissing me off, same goes with Tomb Raider. *sigh*

🍁 Aria 🔮 · January 17, 2015, 06:46:52 PM

I'd pick up Guilty Gear XX Λ Core for whatever system you prefer and SF4 AE if you don't own it already. SC2 and SC5 are the best in the SC series in my opinion.

The only real fighting game I ever really play is Tekken. They're really good fun with friends.

The only negative thing is the fact that a lot of the characters are female and have breasts, that's pretty much the downside for most people. Overall the game is solid and as someone who doesn't play too many fighting games this one is thematically interesting enough for my group of friends to put it on and play a bunch when we get together.

Meh, i've seen a lot of fighting games have that similar stuff, so it doesn't really bother me, i'll think about this one and put it on my list.

No

gender composition is irrelevant
the exploitation of sexuality is the issue

i don't like when sex is used as a selling point for a game
it's cheap and dirty and debauched, like a prostitute

So you don't like the game in general then.

I find the game fun to play and have never really liked "Fanservice" in games. This game is pretty fun but I do agree that they could have toned it down a bit though. People wanted the game how it is now and I like it for what it is.
