The problem with fighting games is that there were all these exciting ideas in the late 90's at the end of the fighting game boom and since then it's just become about pleasing Street Fighter fans.

there's still a pretty good number of fighting games out there that don't cater to street fighter fans

it's just that nobody plays them anymore : (

Give me that damn KoF 13 pc port so I can marvel at the woefully inept net code and sit in training mode like a true KoF fan.

Random Access Memories kinda reminds me of the super-mellow back half of Discovery.

Which I love.

So much.

incidentally, if I am not a fighting game dude, is P4A a good game to start learning on?

I'm gonna play it anyway, but I'm wondering if I should just put it on easy and smash through or what

looks really dumb

also I seem to remember a video in which one of the makers of dive kick was saying that the "dive" part of the dive kick was the actual jump into the air

which would be really stupid

You shut your mouth.

It falls under the category of Anime Ass Fighting Game so I don't know if it's a great way to start, but they realize that not every who plays it plays it to play a fighting game so you can actually mash A 5 times and get a combo automatically (it is less damage than actually doing that combo but that's whatever)

yeah I realize that there's a scrub mode, but is there anything about it that makes it hard to learn? alternatively should I just get Skullgirls?

I've been wanting a reason to get an XL, Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing are definitely a big sell on it

I went through the closet today and grabbed together a bunch of my old TV shows on DVD that are now streaming on Netflix (so they were basically unused and worthless to me), and got a pretty surprising amount at the local game store

Had my eye on the 3DS XL but hoped to come home to find some sort of Animal Crossing bundle and I did and it looks wonderful

Length of combos could make it difficult to learn, but I think anime games are actually easier to pick up and do stuff with for the most part

@Interrobang is an Anime Fighter Expert though, I am a street fighter 4 dude.

I wouldn't have upgraded to the XL if not for the pink and white LE one.

stupid nintendo taking all my money

interrobang

p4a is probably one of the easiest fighting games out there to just pick up and play right now, especially compared to something like street fighter 4

it has an actual tutorial that introduces you to the mechanics, each character has their own "challenge mode" that will teach you what their moves do, how to do some basic combos, stuff like that. also yes, there's the "Mash A" autocombo and everyone has a "get off me" move that you do by hitting two buttons. it's very beginner-friendly

it's not going to teach you how to play street fighter, but it's a good introduction to the niche that it occupies

Incidentally most of this is also true of BlazBlue

skullgirls isn't an alternate choice, it's a companion piece

Huntera

Skull girls is also getting a PC release this summer so that's something you could hop on after the steam sale or something.

I have never seen Burnout 2 in action till that bombastica but yeeeeeeesssshhhh

I came into Burnout with 3 and just by watching that video it's like night and day. The only reason I got 3 on release cause it was back during the old days of the G&T chat thread where there will be a new game each month that will be talked up to high heaven as the best new thing you should have.

Anyways Burnout 3 is like my game of perfection. Gameplay, graphics, sound and fun are all so perfect in that game. Also probably the my first game where I became pretty dedicated to playing online multi everyday.

Revenge was such a disappointment and Paradise didn't click with me very well with it open structure.

P4A is a really fun fighting game, doubly so if you are a Persona fan.

blazblue's tutorial is probably the best i've ever seen in a fighting game but i'd feel bad about telling someone to go buy CS:Extend when the new one is in the pipeline

Burnout 3 ownzzzzzzz

Baroque And Roll

Ugh anime fighters

Just play Third Strike and then marvel at how easy literally everything else is afterwards

Real answer: play Injustice. Really low execution barrier, but it forces learning fundamentals like spacing

that's why I want to use it as my intro

I figure that if there's a world I'm invested in it'll be much easier for me to commit to learning it

sidenote, is every version region-locked? I'd like to get it on the PS3 but I have a US PS3, so I'm not sure if the Australian game will work or not

Jars

don't play fighting games

i think so, unfortunately

the only reason i'd ever tell someone to play 3S as their first fighting game is if i hated them and wanted them to never play fighting games again
