exquisite tea posted:Many fighting games struggle to transition into the next generation because people have literally 20 years of attachments to the characters and it’s not like these things build a following in arcades anymore. tekken is still pretty massive Mak0rz posted:Do people even care about plot in fighting games? the plot of guilty gear is that a man who likes queen went around with a big sword hitting people until eventually his rival became the king of france and married a super weapon and had a half-super weapon child and now big sword guy who likes queen is his grandpa and teaches him about life the plot of tekken is that a guy and his dad kept throwing each other into things and then it was revealed his dad had deep personal reasons for tossing his son off a cliff what i'm saying is fighting game stories actually own

Mak0rz posted:Do people even care about plot in fighting games? I used to talk with my friend for hours about whose ending in Soul Calibur 1 should be canon and what each of the characters would do if they won, so probably more than you think. Most fighters are just kind of whatever with their stories but something about SC has always captured the imagination.

I don't think many people would argue that FGs are especially fitting for storytelling, but people definitely "care" in terms of wanting to know what's going on with their characters and stuff.

Mak0rz posted:wow apparently people do care about fighting games' plots The plot is actually what sells the game to normies so that the 800 people in the world who actually care get new games from their favorite developers. Well, at least in the West. Niche games can still thrive in Asian markets purely from arcade revenue.

Persona Arena has a four hour story about a robot from New Jersey, Japan learning to love. There is no fighting or gameplay of any kind. It is the most important story of our time.

Man it's weird that people care about thing. Also Labrys was from Brooklyn, Japan, and that was the most inspired directorial decision in a century.

chumbler posted:Man it's weird that people care about thing. That tone in my post was meant to be tongue in cheek. Like what you want in your videogames man it's all cool. I always found plot in fighting games to be strange because the idea of a "canon" storyline is a bit goofy in a genre where you can play anyone and defeat everyone else. Note that I'm not talking about character backstories or even plot within a single game for that matter. I'm referring more to overarching stories that span multiple entries in a series (e.g. Soul Edge/Calibur). I guess the plot becoming a confusing mess like it is in that series is almost inevitable?

At the end of every Soul Calibur they just pick a canon ending and go on from there, or a combination of them. It’s honestly one of the least convoluted storylines in the FG universe. There’s a cursed sword, and everybody is after it for their own reasons.

The Labrys story path in P4A is so loving good. I do like fighting game story modes and as someone that likes playing around with the genre but doesn't really like competing online that's how I experience a ton of those games Netherrealms are the undisputed kings of fg story mode. I like arcsys story sometimes. I thought the last BB story was surprisingly ok and pulled the story out of the nose dive the previous few have had put it on. I also thought Under Night had alright story told at an excruciatingly slow pace. I don't think Capcom have ever had a good story mode in any FG.

I really got into the story in P4Arena, such that I just put the fighting game part on effectively autopilot by I think disabling blocking and putting the difficulty all the way down. Then Ultimax came out and it was pretty boring and I was bummed out.

Fighting game plots are cool because they are the most pure distilled form of anime in gaming but unlike JRPGs you don't spend too much time on it so it never gets overbearing.

There was that Guilty Gear(Revelator 1 or 2) where the "Story Mode" was exactly that, a mode with only the story, as a Visual Novel.
