Shoryuken: A Fighting Game Thread

Street Fighter V! Their communication has been terrible and their fight money system is broken, but its still the most fun to play for me. I get matches quickly and most of them are fine connection-wise besides the occasional laggy match. I suck (I'm bronze) but its still fun!

I use a Hori Real Arcade Pro N fight stick. I like the button responsiveness (some ppl think its too responsive but I love it) and the stick itself is solid without being too heavy. The cheapest version is probably the Soul Calibur VI version for PS4 since I guess they overproduced it. Its gone down below $100 on Amazon US and the price seems to fluctuate so I would keep an eye out on it.

I really feel like HB should launch a Fighting Bundle today

A fighting game with a keyboard would be impossible.

Tekken 7 and USFIV, are my absolute favorites on this list, i mostly play on arcade stick.

if you are going for a stick, please dont go for a cheap one, a good one will last for a very long time, check Qanba Obsidian or the Razer Panthera, the absolute best sticks you could ever get in a long time

edit : if you are going to invest on a stick , be warned the that some Fighting Games are terrible to use, like MKX , wich it had its own stick build layout

Way to skip Skull Girls! Has a pretty good tutorial mode.

The King of Fighters is the ultimate fighting game. No other comes close in terms of skill ceiling. I played a lot of it on the arcades (actually it was just one arcade machine in a bar I used to go) and on ps2. Too bad the franchise is dead and snk is doing shit to revitalize it. And the ones on steam are not that good.

I recently got back into fighting games as well, Injustice 2 and SFV are my current favorites.

Planning to get Tekken 7 and/or Soulcalibur VI along with a fight stick in the near future.

i like fighting games when long time ago there is no hits\combos and no fighters selled apart separated price , i think the time of mortal kombat 2 and virtua fighters the first tekken etc..... Then sadly Killer Instinct and other videogames appears in the videogames world and then all others fighting games tekken,mortal kombat etc. start to use combos\hits then i start stop like this games genre.
And some of my friend tell me "So what is the problem? just not do combo\hits and play only with 1 hit move is ok" , is not the same... because videogames fighting of today is calibrated and maked since the start for hits combos so they are so much fast and less tactic etc. and also is really impossible not balanced to play no hits vs who do hits always who use hit win etc.
BTW i will plan to buy MK11 because i born with mortal kombat game.
edit:
i forget to say that i not like today SPEED of fighting games,they are so much fast for me,i like the old games they are very slow,not about "FPS" but about how to play.

Guilty Revelator.
PS: F for the 4 guys who play Under Night in Birth, Koihime Enbu and Blade Arcus who were left out of the poll

Haven't touch much out of the fighting games I own, but amongst the played one, maybe Blazblue Calamity Trigger(?)

I play using controller. Have been used to that since PS2 ages.

killer instict stole my heart <3

Mortal X for me but InJustice is a close second. Never played Tekken 7 though so I may be missing out.

Recently gotten the KoF XIII from a grab bag. Not to sure whether if I want KoF or MK X since I'm not a huge fan of the old school arcade style.
However I got to admit that the old school arcade style is still the best. The gore from MK X is tempting me thou..

Battle Fantasia and Skullgirls were pretty much the only fighting games ive played on Steam. They were both so-so good.

No Mortal Kombat 9, blasphemy

Street Fighter Alpha 2 all the way...whether its on or off Steam

I am really terrible at fighting games, so I avoid them. The Street Fighter kind of fighting games. None of this 1v1 or 3v3.

I'm kind of casual, so FighterZ, Xenoverse 2 and Naruto are my picks. Although MK X is better to play with my friends, since no one between us knows how to play it properly.

Jump Force made it's way on to Steam yesterday and currently it's sitting with "Mixed" reviews.

If any of you have purchased the game what are your thoughts so far on it?

On Steam, Skullgirls.
Marvel vs Capcom 2 will always be the goat though. I own a Qanba Q1 but I haven't bought a new one since, probably due to the fact that I'm absolutely horrible at fighting games.

I prefer blazblue over most other fighting games, but tekken is not bad and MK if u dont mind the gore

JUMP FORCE is horrendous, so don't get that one.

You could always go for TEKKEN, but note how the beloved Team Battle Mode isn't included in TEKKEN 7.

Soulcalibur, most intuitive and beginner friendly.

The poll is limited to 20 options so there's a decent amount of others I would of liked to add to the list if I could HAVE.

And yet, you used up a slot on a game that's not out yet.

Saint Seiya: Soldiers' Soul
