I had a video of someone replicating the Daigo parry in a real match on a keyboard, unfortunately I think it was deleted as I can't find it on my playlist of fighting game stuff nad there's a bunch of [deleted video] there.THE BASICS: ARCADE STICK/CONTROLLER
So you wanna be a fighting game player, HUH? Think it's easy to just jump into, HUH? Oh you've seen many people pick it up, make it look easy, well fuck you, kid. Eat shit, get out of my topic. Just kidding.
If you want to play fighting games, I want you to do the first thing that will change your life: take your keyboard & mouse and put them into the garbage bin. Yes. You don't want to use that. You'll be laughed at by school children and called an EBTer.

Also why no Smash?
Not an answer, and Stone Cold is shit.It's a party game. Refer to FREQUENT QUESTIONS for better explanation.
Every game is a party game with the right mindset.It's a party game
When planning the development of a new game, I always take a lot of care to discuss the concept and try to define it as best I can. For example, I like to think of Smash as a four-player battle royal action game. You'll notice that's a lot longer than saying it's a fighting game, because 'fighting game' is a completely different label.
Those elements are often eliminated to maximize competition and prevent RNG and character exploits from interfering with player skill. I do not believe it is unheard of for certain exploits to be banned from other fighting games.
Also, a game does not have to be designed with a competitive aspect in mind for it to be a fighting game.
Whatever. The actual fighting game genre is dogshit, and Smash is the only game even worth playing. It also has a much higher skill cap than most popular fighting games. Stay mad though.
Stadia uses the PC version so probably some exclusivity bullshit with google fucks...I'm also very butthurt over the lack of a PC release of the new SamSho, despite SNK promising "it's totally coming, u guise!". If anyone got some news, please share.
Heed my query you obstreperous arachnid.What about them wrassling games though? Are they fighting games too?
This is basically why I've finally started laying off of Tekken. Been playing since the first game and years of demanding Kazuya execution finally caught up to me in the form of carpal tunnel. I've really come to dislike that performing KBDs and wavedashes are almost arbitrarily difficult (almost exploity) just for the sake of being difficult in Tekken, whereas in Soul calibur, if you hold back, you're moving back at full speed. SC's just a lot less demanding on your digits.Namco
TEKKEN 7 - If you want to learn another language then Tekken 7 is what you have been waiting for. With characters that can have anywhere between 80-120 moves alone, I hope you like to spend time in training mode because that's where you'll be baby. So here's the thing, Tekken 7 is a very good game. It's a terrible game if you're new to fighters as a whole. The Tekken series has seen changes but it is also the one that has remained the most pure. If someone has played since the earlier Tekken games then chances are they will seem like Bloodsport's Chong Li while you're Karate Kid's Daniel-san. You'll get obliterated. That's how it is. It is also a fully fledged 3D fighter which has very different movement and gameplay than the previous ones on this list which are still on a 2D playing field. If you are committed to jumping into shark infested waters with the intent to one day horsefuck the demons waiting for you in the deep then T7 will be your best friend that loves to push you off cliffs. T7, compared to other games on this list, is also the most barebones in terms of single player content and expects you to be into kicking the shit out of other people from the get-go. Again, if you're a fighting game enthusiast you'll love Tekken 7 more than you love your pet tarantulas. If you're new or wanting to merely try your hand, stay away from this neighborhood. It's 1970s Bronx, New York.
SOUL CALIBUR VI - Namco's other big fighter, however, is more of a contrast to Tekken. If you really want to learn a 3D fighter, SC is in my view the better title to get into. Much more friendlier to new players, you can actually mash buttons and look like you're doing cool shit. If Tekken is an unbudging old master who operates out of a dilapidated wooden temple, never laughs and responds to your conversation with grunts before walking off in disgust, Soul Calibur is the fun and cool looking dojo in the city that has lots of style and a sensei all the girls find hot. This doesn't make it vapid, though! SC has lots of depth, lots of subsystems, a lot of stuff under the hood that advanced players will be able to sink their teeth into. It also has decent content for single player that provides many hours of entertainment with two story modes, character creation/editing, and a smaller but meaningful roster. I always liked how SC's presentation was, it's very elegant and definitely stands out. Between this and T7, I actually always preferred the SC series. It has characters that appeal to me more and having clutch matches where you and your opponent have 5 weapon clashes in a row before finally landing the killing blow is satisfying. I recommend it.
unless you are one of THOSE GUYS who makes Talim sized girls with Astaroth moves. Are you one of THOSE GUYS?
Since you guys listed the games by the way they play what current game could one play if one wanted a 2d fighter that plays somewhat like samurai shodown and thats available for pc?
