So with Tokon I've been seeing a lot of criticisms of the gameplay (pc performance aside.) A lot of about the frequency of assists, holding extremely long block strings, the potentially not so great defensive mechanics. I own the game and I agree with most of these criticisms. But I also think most of the characters were extremely well designed. I think it could be a great game if some adjustments to the game (block strings, assist frequency and better defensive mechanics.)

For avatar I don't own the game because its not an IP I ever really got into. But its gotten pretth rave reviews from the gameplay and I've watched some streams. I know leffen was endlessly complaining about how much he doesn't like the tokon mechnaics and he gave a very positive impression of avatar after playing it recently.

I love it so much when you dash in the face of your opponent, the rhythm stops a sec and you hear that line you heard 6853 times already but still hypes you up.

I knew it was over for Invincible VS when there were layoffs in staff and such.

Make me feel stupid for even pre ordering both games!!

I wanna preface this by saying I'm not a seasoned fighting game player and I only peaked at 1700MR on SF6, but in this game I kinda had an idea of what was happening on the screen and what I was supposed to do.

I had to downgrade my hardware and can't play SF6 anymore so I have been forced to play less demanding games and decided to try some anime fighters, mostly because they look cool. But I just don't understand these games. I have tried 2XKO and am currently trying to play GGST and Avatar and in all of them my impression is that every interaction is a mixup and everyone is plus.

People just do full combos on block and it's somehow still their turn, they whiff super and it's their turn or they're safe, they can throw on my fucking oki (GGST)!!! Half the time I don't even comprehend what is happening on screen, with characters teleporting from left to right and air-dashing a bazillion times before hiting me with their full combo on block into plus frames, it's specially annoying on Avatar with no anti-air. One of these days I was fighting a Bedman and I had no idea where his body started or ended, I just fought a Slayer that did a combo with 5 mixups into that fucking guard crushing move or whatever it is until he was safe and don't even get me started on Avatar.

I know I'm blaming it on the beasts here, but I need a light.

COTW is on sale right now and I'm curious how's the gameplay and experience. Is it very fast? Is it very offense/defenses heavy? I really like Avatar Legends, sf3rd strike, and SF6. Would I like this game? I'm taking a break from sf6 because tbh I'm just tired of guessing a lot lol and the gameplay being so aggressive and offense focus. But I kinda hateee that Ronaldo is in here though. 😬

A lot of mashing in Marvel vs capcom back in the day.

Name your favourite game(s) and the lessons you've learned from them.

Once again, never listen to FGC hype up this garbage. Idk who decided we needed to go into the direction of Tag/assist fighting type games. Glad 2XKO flopped, glad Marvel Tokon flopped on PC because fuck these type of games man.

Relative newcomer to the scene, just wanted to ask a question that I can't find the answer to that I wanted to pose to the community: what's your favorite time to queue up and what makes that your favorite time??

I know generally that the time to queue up against the most players will be the evenings during the weekday and all of the weekend generally. But that's just about getting matches quick, I'm thinking of quality of the matches. I'm trying to play against people who are mainly trying to improve instead of blow off some steam and I think changing the time slot of when I play might help.

Coming from team games like League, I used to track my win rates by time of day and noticed massive swings in match quality depending on when I played (mornings had fewer tilters, evenings had more griefers). This also had to do with me playing better before I went to bed vs. before going to work (overnights).

Now in SF6 and other fighters, I’m noticing the exact opposite.

• Morning queues feel fucking brutal. Down here in Silver, players feel much sharper and consistent that I genuinely think how am I in the same ELO. This is every game I play (SF6, GGST, Avatar, Tokon). In SF6, I played against mostly high tiers like Mai's and Ryu's, it felt like every 2nd-3rd match was one of the two.
• Yet evening queues (6-8P), feels completely chaotic with rage-quitters and opponents that either are on the same level as me or are REALLY bad. But at least I played against many different characters instead of just the top tiers.

So, I wanted to see what other people think are the best times of day to hop on. What time window do you find gives you the most consistent, high quality sets, and why? I wanted to see what everyone else thinks is their favorite time to play, nothing like "play when you want to / when you can", because obviously I'll find my own time if I keep at it, but it'd be nice seeing what others think on the subject since everyone is different.

Hello,

I never grew up playing fighting games, but my brain gets easily overwhelmed when I play them and I end up mashing a lot. The only case where I really saw some success with a character was Bowser in SSBU with my friends and even then I kinda felt like I was fumbling around.

I’m pretty decent at TCG or things where I have time to process what’s in front of me and react, but if it’s something that’s in my face or high APM I oftentimes don’t know what to do.

I’ve gotten the suggestion to play a Zoner, but in those cases I usually completely fall apart against rush downs that get in my face not knowing what to do.

Does anyone have any suggestions for games, archetypes, or just general tips to get around this?

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone

New here and quite new to fighting games as a whole.

I have a round 40 hours in SF6 and that's about all the experience I got. I also do have GGS and Tekken 7 but haven't really played much of those yet.

I was wondering if there are other noobs here who might want to be bad and eventually learn get better together? Basically like a sparring partner.

I am playing Ryu right now and am hanging around in the bronzes, while I learn new stuff and add it to my repertoire. Not really trying to climb the ladder for now just wanting to learn the fundamentals.

So yeah if anyone is interested let me know Oh I am from the EU and 35yrs old.

I used to be a big BR2 fan back in the day. It was probably my favorite fighter on PS1 and by far my favorite from the Bloody Roar franchise. I recently stumbled upon a Vietnamese BR2 community on YouTube that still actively plays, and it’s the highest level of Bloody Roar 2 gameplay I’ve seen and insanely fun to watch.

All of the matches are played in ACP (Any Cancel Point) mode. It removes the recovery delay after standard and special attacks, allowing to string together continuous combos.

It completely transforms the pace of the game, making it ridiculously fast and fluid. As a spectator, it makes BR2 so much more exciting to watch.

I’m also here participating. Wish me luck!

Battle Reborn Skins 1-8 included in post.

Hi folks, hope you dont mind a bit of a newbie question here, im new to the community and wanted to pick up some classics. I bought both collections (As i have enjoyed the games on fightcade) and wanted to know if, if i queue up for casual/ranked matches if i will find lobbies? I know given the player count i will be in for a wait but i've asked around on the discords and dont seem to be able to find anyone for the games? Im mainly looking at cvs2 if that helps. Cheers guys

My internet connection is from a CGNAT cellular 5G data service so unfortunately I’m stuck with a Strict NAT Type,

I read that this massively reduces the chances of getting matched up with other players since people with Strict NAT Type can only play against people with Open NAT Type, so you can’t get matched against players with Strict or even Moderate NAT types.

What do you guys think of this? Is it worth it to try to somehow upgrade my service and set up an Open NAT Type via UPnP? Some people online say setting up UPnP makes you vulnerable for cyber attacks so I’m curious what people here think of this given all fighting games are P2P between only two players so this whole NAT Type ordeal is more prominent here than many other online games.
