I play them only in local multi
Big preference for street fighter for nostalgia reasons (sf2 turbo was awesome, super sf2 turbo is peak), played some SF4
SF6 look pretty cool but I always disliked playing charge character and they made some of my fav chars more reliant on it (chun li, juri)
Its always fun even without being that good or knowing most of specials how good timing, reflex and mixups can get you the win
cammy is my fav char to play

Juri isn't charge, she has stores. Chun still needs charging though, unless she cancels from her new stance. I only started playing more or less seriously with SF4 but never really grinded as much as I needed to get good. Trying to do that now, no other genre excites me as much really.

I mainly played sf6 but haven't touched it since before Bison dropped. Got busy with work and got disgruntled with the system mechanics and throw loops. I also bought UNI2 when it was on sale for PC but haven't gotten around to playing it yet. I want to, not sure how it plays on steam deck though it could probably play on my laptop.

I enjoy SF6 but stopped playing when I got plat becayse my PC is shit and runs it like crap (60fps on training room but ugly as sin). I plan on getting back to it if I ever get an upgrade. Plus my notebook doesn't have an ethernet socket

>>38436
I accept 4 bar matches from wi fi players most of the time, and the connection only was bad once or twice. I'm on ethernet myself.

Throw loops are here to stay I think, otherwise wakeup parry would be too good. It already invalidates crossups and high low mixups.
As for UNI, from what I know it's not very active. In my area there aren't too many fg players in general, so that would be a waste of money most likely.

Bumping becase we will have a fg thread here.

I already accepted throw loops will stay and the system mechanics won't change much unless they make a new version of the game that reworks everything.
>from what I know it's not very active
You can find people on ranked from what I've heard but it's definitely a game you'll have to ask people on discord for matches.

>Do you play fg's?
Yes.
>What are your favorites?
Whichever doesn't require me to wiggle my stick a lot but I mostly enjoy platform fighters because of their freedom of movement (it's just like in my favorite animes!). But MK, DOA and KI are criminally underrated imho.
>Overall I appreciate the genre, because it's a rare case of 1v1 multiplayer experience
Chess, MOBAs, MMORPGs (PvP arenas only), card games, Pokemon, TF2 (MGE mode only), arena shooters (private deathmatch only), Puyo Puyo, Tetris, Sonic games, racing games, party games (that's a very small party), music games, sports games. There's quite a lot.

Always like Soul Calibur. Seemed a bit slower and more strategic and they used the depth well.

I don't really like ga.es where you gotta do too much courter circle shit. It's funny how much easier it is on a keyboard tho.

I like Smash too. Wish more fighting games had stages with multiple levels. Also not having to do courter circle spam

Any Gundam Wing fans here? Gotta play this one.

If you want UC units check out Battle Assault 2

Not having to do complex movements is very relaxing. Imagine playing Melee or Quake instead of Rivals of Aether or Warfork/Xonotic. Like, what in the fuck? I feel sorry for those with carpal tunnel…

I love fighting games but I haven't actually played one in months, and haven't actually gotten "into" playing one in years. I still like to keep up with fgc news, and watch relevant tournaments and youtubers. My favourite is definitely Guilty Gear, but I appreciate anime fighters of all kinds. My partner bought me Tekken 8 as an early Christmas gift, though, so I plan on getting into that.
