Fighting Game Community

Justin Wong was already known for Evo Moment 37, winning Evo a lot more than anyone else, and teaching kids life lessons in Mortal Kombat (plus a Wiki page's worth of other notable accomplishments). In 2017 he added another ...

I'm pretty much a total novice to fighting games, but one of my BFs is super into them. We got talking about indie vs big studio games, and I did some digging for really niche ones just out of curiosity. That's how I stumbled onto Battle Craze, and now we're both super hooked on it!!

The art/animation is very quirky but don't let it put you off, it really grows on you, and the voice acting is amazing. The mechanics (according to my much more knowledgeable BF) are very advanced. It's just really fun in general.

The only thing is, the community is soooo small that everyone who isn't a beginner is some kind of super skilled veteran instead, so it can be hard to find a reasonable match. That's why I'm posting, hopefully more people will get into it 😝

Hi there,
I started falling down the rabbit hole of fighting games, and having a great time.

I was wondering if there were websites with lists of moves for specific situation: anti-air, anti-pressure, anti-block etc...

I am trying a couple games at the same time and I am having a hard time deciding of a main character.
The games I am interested in are:

• SFV
• Tekken 7
• GG strive and Xrd 2nd

I don't like the "wikis" moves list because it is not categorized, and I have a hard time to find what I am looking for.

I might make such a list myself if none is available, but I need to understand the games better first.

Thank you for your time.

With the Marvel vs Capcom Collection

Hey FGC Lemmy, there doesn't seem to be a lot going on here, but I would appreciate any input. I'm pretty new to fighting games, and with SF6 and Tekken 8 I want to start playing more competitively. I've been using a Dualshock controller and want to upgrade to a leverless controller before my muscle memory is too engrained. Do y'all have any recommendations for a leverless controller? I play on PS4 rn, but will probably switch over to PC pretty soon. I also don't want to drop $300 on a Razer Kitsune lol. Thanks!

Who else is excited about Under Night In-Birth II Sys: Celes is being released this week?! Hyde was the first fighting game character I ever learned.

Full disclosure: I am not good at fighting games, I just love to play them

After I found in Ghostblade a fun character for me I had some great time, but the online is so terrible without any ping indicators or blocking. The game design was criticized plenty, and I also don't see it replacing the big titles for me, perhaps for a local evening with friends it is quite good. Shame the online is so bad though for as an alternative game.

Loved it. The visuals are great, the feel is really there, the Arcade mode was joyful and the Story fight was very epic. I touched Tekken as a series only briefly on PSP and it was not at all my cup of tea and later installments didn't interest me. But this one is a winner so far.

Date: from April 27 to 29, 2024

The official title lineup is as follows:

• Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising
• Guilty Gear: Strive
• The King of Fighters XV
• Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike – Fight for the Future
• Street Fighter 6
• Tekken 8
• Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes

Price Pool:

14 mio yen above all games

So we will have another purple crazy girl.

After six months of study, practice, and refinement, I finished Primal Rage at the maximum difficulty without any damage to health.

Hey everyone, It's this time of the year again. New fighting game came out and noobs like me are asking the questions you've heard a million times before. Humor me, would you?

I am new to fighting games, if you discount random button mashing for a while and then uninstalling - but for once I'd like to get better at them. Nearing 50 years of age, my reflexes aren't what they used to be when I was 20, but I still think I could have some fun, especially with the new MK1 just out.

I typically play games on a PS5 Dual Sense controller, but very quickly found out that its d-pad does not really work for me. While it was great for quarter and half-circle inputs, stuff like left-right was nearly impossible for me to pull off without hitting up (or down) on the way.

I tired an XBOX controller (I think it's the X1), but it was still not quite there. I hate the weight, the size and how clicky it is overall :(

A while back I bough (and almost never used) a cheap-o fightstick - Mayflash F300. Left-Right is still kinda tough, but generally I had the best experience with it. The problem is in how damn loud the thing is. Buttons feel a bit loose (rattling?) and the microswitches on the joystick click so loud my neighbors will come knocking if I play too much ;)

What I am getting at is - is there any recommended controller/stick you could suggest? I am hoping not to break the bank, but if it's worth it, I'd pay the premium for something that's responsive, comfortable, beginner friendly and not-too-loud.

I'd appreciate any help, suggestions, etc.

At the moment i am considering maybe playing on mechanical keyboard, but I feel like my fingers would slide off the right buttons in no time...

Announced at EVO, Killer Instinct is getting a new balance pass, improvements to online, and more.

(Here's hoping those changes are coming to the PC version as well)
