prbably died out together with the arcades

It is interesting why certain branches of gaming die despite being popular for a long time. Has something to do with the current year no doubt, needs some profound pondering.

>>2694 >Why are fighting games dead? Arcade games are dead, and with them difficult games in general. >What's your favorite fighting game/series? I'm a Tekken man myself. Tekken3 had such a strong impact on me from a young age that I'm probably always going to be in it's grip in some respect. I really enjoyed bloody roar extreme and wish there was a more coherent transformation 3D fighter. Some sort of limited air-movement magical girl 3D game would be my dream game, I guess, but these days I play tekken. >Do you play with a fightan gamepad like a good lad? I payed $500 for a fightstick only to discover it's basically a $2 piece of trash in a plastic box. Jesus fucking christ you people are scum and I hope the sanwa factory explodes and blinds you all. Where the fuck is the analog stick? What is this shit? The introduction of a space between actuation and release on any input device should be a crime punished by being tortured to death. It's ((current year)) and you'd have to file down the stems on keyboards and add shit to the springs or some shit to have a half functional device even though we had joysticks in the fucking 90s.

>>2698 >Arcade games are dead, and with them difficult games in general. fightan games survived way into arcades being dead tho >I payed $500 for a fightstick only to discover it's basically a $2 piece of trash in a plastic box yikes, but i feel ya, buyong joysticks nowadays is a gamble, they look nice but are cheaply made. I had to repair several myself

I remember really getting into fighting games in the mid '00s with Tekken 5 and Soul Calibur 3 and Guilty Gear XX and Virtua Fighter 5, and many more. Even M*rtal K*mbat. But after the '00s it all started getting kinda messy and I started to lose interest.

When this came out I remember my mind getting completely blown. There were these PS2 demo stands everywhere and they were running the game with this intro, and I remember me and my friends stopped at every one and watched it from start to finish ever time.

>>2713 doesn't look very comfortable tbqhwy

>>2714 >>2713 In my experience the low-end fighting gamepads are way better than the overpriced "super professional" stuff.

>>2717 Super professional is a scam to bamboozle normalfags. Real pros play on whatever they're used to eben if its some potato glued together with duct tape.

>>2694 >want to get into KOF >nobody speaks english and everyone has 1000+ hours m-maybe later then...

>>2800 KOF is great. You don't have to get into competitive to enjoy it of course. But if you do you should get gid offline first naturally.

>>2801 im torn between 98 and 2002, which do you think is better for someone new to the series?

>>2802 It is a matter of taste, both games are great. Personally I'd choose '98 over 2k2. 2k2 however is slightly more polished and balanced for new players I suppose - max combos are an easy win and guard crush is very helpful. On the other hand some people consider '98 to be easier than 2k2 because combos are not as tough.

how are 3DPD KOFs?

>>2804 Nobody played them to find out.

>>2804 Still look like shit.

>>2802 98

I meant 98UMFE, in case you aren't aware that anyone talking about "98 or 02" are not actually talking about 98, nor 02.

>>2939 >anyone talking about "98 or 02" are not actually talking about 98, nor 02 they do because >UM picrel

>>2940 >picrel wrong take that stupid fuckin coon and reevaluate yuor stance

>>2941 fight me irl

>>2942 ight bet

>>3116 Might as well ban the games too

>>3117 Soon they'll start banning for booba as well. And then it's just gonna be the culturally enriched NuMK at the tournaments.

>>3118 >soon
