It's made for the most exciting moments. the possibility of dying from chip forces people to make snap decisions. having offensive options and capabilities limited while giving the defensive player a buff is anything but exciting. it makes any comeback less exciting.

Kamikaze Raider posted:I'm enjoying the game quite a bit. Sorry you just want to angrypost about a game you hate. Seems like a lot of effort. Srice posted:If you think that a game series has been complete garbage for that long then why would you even bother past a certain point, outside of some weird brokebrains obsession In addition to what I posted above, SF is a series that I have played on and off for a very long time, both casually and competitively, and I look forward to seeing how different aspects of the game develop. Sometimes, discussion on its development may involve insights into how bad the game is, because the last two decades of street fighter are dotted with terrible entries. For years now, discussion on the SF series has always had at least a partial focus on the depressing decline of the series. Even when it was the Capcom Japan developed games like SSF2, to Alpha and SFIII, a good deal of discussion was centered around how bad the games were. And now that the torch has been passed to the people behind the DBZ and Naruto fighting games, Dimps, with SF4 and SF5, the inevitable conclusion is that a healthy amount of discussion will surround how awful the series has become. This is tradition and I'm just keeping the fire burning.

CharlestonJew posted:things I have learned reading this thread: every fighting game is bad, and dumb almost all of them are really unbelievably bad, and most of the bad ones are also dumb. a lot of the good ones are dumb too. SF5 is somewhere slightly outside of bad but clearly far away from good but definitely dumb. as another example, sf3:3s is dumb and bad, while a game like marvel 2 is dumb and good. I've played a majority of arcade fighters released for CPS1,2 and 3 and Neo-Geo extensively and finding a decent game is very, very hard. Jmcrofts posted:SF3 followed literally the exact same arc as SF4 - called garbage by everyone for its entire life, but then when the next game comes out, looked back upon wistfully as The Good Old Days. are people really doing this though? I don't know many people who would call 3s a good game. maybe they would call it a fun game to dick around in or a familiar game that they played with others, but even in Austin a lot of people that played it played it begrudgingly. and do people really look back fondly on SF4? its really awful.

fozzy fosbourne posted:What's your favorite fighting game from the last decade? if HNK counts, it came out on the PS2 in 2007, I probably had more fun in HNK than most other fg. as a close second/tie, GGAC was alright, but way worse than reload. that was 2006. Since I had been playing since X, to XX, #R, and slash, AC was a nice change of pace so I learned to like it at the time. I didn't really get into AC+R but I've heard it doesn't have the same awful poo poo that regular AC had in it. GGXRD is neat and kinda fun but it suffers from things that exist to increase accessibility as do most new competitive games, and I think it basically sucks even though when you put it next to a game like SF5 it looks impeccable. I mostly play old games on Fightcade because they are more fun to me than the stuff made by Dimps or a lot of the anime fighters.

Big Scary Owl posted:Zand what would your dream fighting game be like? Or does it already exist? Serious question. na I like hnk but I don't think its like my dream fg. hnk would be a lot cooler without bball infis honestly. hnk style boost has been implemented in other fgs in ways I'm not really a big fan of, like in arcana heart series. i like 1 button instant throws with big range and no special whiff animations with 1-2f tech windows max. assists tend to be really fun, and so are 2-on-2 or 3-on-3 style games like ngbc/marvel/kofxi. i tend to like games with extreme offensive options but not always games that have extreme offense that results in what people are now calling "setplay" or "vortices." and i like combos but mostly games where combos must be dynamically changed for things like meter management/spacing/what you wanna do after the combo like in guilty gear. I also tend to like games where things like tough links for combos are visually understandable, like being able to see a character falling/bouncing/flying and time your hit accordingly like in xmenvsf or the gg series. a game having a combo focus like a lot of anime fighters isnt that interesting to me though since I'm probably not going to dedicate a lot of time to whatever the newest lovely anime fg is. like I couldn't really craft a dream fighter because the mechanics i like in older games have to be taken in the context of those games. like assist implementations in fgs tend to be extremely bad or extremely fun, like it was awful in sengoku basara x but cool in nitroplus. if I put all my favorite mechanics in one fg it would probably be a horrible mess like the poo poo on mugen. different fgs fit different purposes for me also. like I don't even play mvc2 seriously and I'm bad at it, but really it's the most easy to pick up and play and have a good time with friends fg I've ever encountered. and I think ST is incredibly stressful and obnoxious to play depending on what character you're fighting (like if its sim, or claw, or boxer, or anyone with grab loops) but its also very fun in an arcade setting with many players. sometimes I just like to play marvel super heroes and do wolverine infinites on people. My dream game is basically just playing on fightcade, every game, a lot, and ive been doing that for a while. Unfortunately a lot of old games have mechanics that might seem cool at first but when they get explored the games just tend to be broken trash. even then, fightcade is probably the best game out right now

Fellblade posted:No but don't you see, the game is fun, it's just not good ~ literally a thing posted in this thread. yeah, I posted that. what don't you get about this statement? have you never played fgs before this or something? direct competition between two players is inherently fun, at least for me. if the engine is snappy, responsive, and nuanced, it can be even more fun. but this same game could have glitches, balance issues, or design decisions that preclude it from ever coming close to being "good"

Smirking_Serpent posted:What do you guys think the player base is going to be like? I know that sales weren't outstanding but do you think the different additions will pick things back up? Do we know how the active population compares to its competitors? I've still got so much to learn and I don't want all the other casuals to abandon the game too early. this is the most popular current fg by a mile and its going to be the standard for fgs for a long time. the only other fg that will be this popular online is tekken and even then its not going to be as strong number-wise as sfv.

apple posted:Rollback by design requires you to set a delay parameter by which both players operate on as a minimum. Skullgirls lets you change this setting: the shittier your connection the higher the delay setting. It's not rocket science but it automatically suggests a delay setting for you anyway so you don't need to think about it outside of fine-tuning a connection between 2 people. or its that japanese devs make games for playing in japan. variable delay is not so important when you're playing another person on the other end of your tiny island country. its like how in dark souls there were 2 region settings: japan, and then the entire rest of the world. japanese game devs are consistently atrocious.

HoboWithAShotgun posted:It has to be really low if UK to UK matches get bursts of random rollback. Or maybe it just sucks because those bursts happen to anyone within EU. I would be shocked if there are any actual infrastructure upgrades or engine updates to SFV to fix any of the glaring issues. capcom doesn't even acknowledge most of the problems with their game in the first place and there are a mountain of issues plaguing it: the poor handling of ragequits, the lack of directinput support which includes their official branded controller series, the alt-tab bug, the input delay, the constantly broken CFN servers, bad rollback implementation.... and the list could go on and on really. there's niggling problems like training mode settings not being saved, or story mode (some people actually care about this??), or even just lack of arcade mode, or even just bad gameplay like a survival mode that is a complete unfun chore for 49 battles in a row, oh and stage lag too. Maybe when they add alex into this mishmash of problems the game will be better

Dracula Factory posted:One of the reasons I bought MKX (for PC) was that I wanted a fighting game developed by Americans so they could actually communicate and design effectively for the western market. NRS did that initially and I was hopeful, but they went and completely dropped any supports or updates for the PC version, so they can go gently caress themselves, I basically wasted $65 and a bunch of time playing a completely irrelevant game. I hope Capcom's shittiness so far is due to having to rush the release, and maybe they'll get their poo poo together in the future. I mean they had really big goals for this game so it seems so odd to have such a painful lack of polish on it. If Capcom abandons this game on PC too I'm probably just going to be done with FG's forever, it just seems like nobody working in this genre has any professionalism and it's starting to grate on me. and is there any actual indication that capcom rushed the release outside of speculation? they had paid beta testers for 8 months before it came out, starting with a playable prototype before beta 1 that they thought was good enough to show people. capcom just let bugs and problems with beta 1 ride all the way until release. and the big goals they set for the game are now just representative of how big a failure this game is in the eyes of their shareholders... and the jp fiscal year is ending in 2 weeks. given that they can't fix the game in time to save face within a time frame that matters, it doesn't make sense for them to continue to dump money into it when they could use resources on something that makes them money (monster hunter).

Double Bill posted:I don't really see what else other than a do-or-die business deadline could explain the decision to release with so much missing content. the thing I think explains it is that Capcom is terrible. they made a bad game, and they have been making bad street fighter games for nearly 2 decades. they kicked off the death of SF with SF3 then punctuated the decline of the genre with capcom fighting evolution. they have been consistently terrible for years and years outside of the SF series as well. assuming they were rushed and this is the only possible explanation would be ignoring that they are actually just awful and have a history of being this way edit: just saw your edit. yeah basically that
