Let's learn about fighting games and get murdered together.

They already threw Leo to the butchers to appease tomboy genociders, so who the fuck cares about Tekken 8?

What. There is no roster leak or anything. What are you talking about.

Changed a character from a cute tomboy to some rainbow bullshit.

I think they just keep it ambiguous as some sort of running gag?
You can still wank to her, pretty sure it's perfectly halal.

This isn’t some new thing either. They’ve been doing it since Tekken 6 where the character first appeared.

Leo always seemed to be made in the mold of Eliot (who is a guy) from Dead or Alive, who was a new character in DoA4 when they first showed off Leo for Tekken 6.

By the way, I hope you guys watched the big Japanese 3rd Strike and Virtua Fighter 5 tournaments last weekend.

I don't even play this anymore

In KoF XV news:



A New Protagonist Has Arrived (Finally) !?

The Grand Finals of the Douyu Shanghai Invitational saw E.T seemingly solve Xiaohai's brutal and previously untouchable Kyo with Isla, finally taking a set off of Xiaohai and resetting the brackets. This prompted Xiaohai to bust out his own Isla! The Chinese commentators' pet name for Isla is "nv zhu", or "female protagonist" (which she is!). While the first year of KoF XV saw Isla relegated to the dark matches, we've now seen 3 of the best KoF players in the world championing her in Grand Finals play, and seeing Isla battle it out vs Kyo actually feels like a changing of the guard and KoF come 30 years full circle.

I didn't like KoF 13 and 14 looked like an upscaled PS2 game so naturally I was sleeping on 15, but recently I gave it a chance and was pleasantly surprised how good it is. I'm waiting for the nearest sale to get it.

I have both Samsho and KoF XV. I feel like the art direction on Samsho was better but KoF XV has noticeably better animation work (just a step below KoF XIII which is still the all-time great). Sadly I play a lot more Samsho since I don't want to break my Dualsense joystick buttons just to win a few matches (need to get a fightstick) :/

Unfortunately KoF XV already looks a gen behind Tekken 8 and MK1.

>moron combat
no thanks.

 

[Lagole Gon]

Hmmm... something is not quite right... Voice? Animations?

This youtube channel posts videos of high-level matches from a great number of fighting games on FightCade.

It'a nice to see some obscure or forgotten fighting games shown in their full potential.

Get ready for a lotta chubby old man v chubby old man action! And the REAL Kim's pants!

 

[Arthandas]

Ugh, I can't look at those sprites...
KoF XII has one of the best (if not the best) sprites in the history of 2D pixel art fighting games and they just jizzed all over them in XIII...

 

[Arthandas]

Speaking of KOF, anyone interested in a pdf of KOF: The Ultimate History?

I almost bought this and then realized it doesn't have crossplay

 

[ind33d]

tekken's limb-based combat is obviously the best way to make a fighting game, it's a shame they are going all anime with fireballs and meter and shit. i played geese in t7 and i still think there should be no projectiles

Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid has the most unforgiving AI I have ever seen lmao. I had heard it was designed by and for high level tournament players and it definitely seems to be. Red is the perfect character for my playstyle and probably one of my all-time favorite characters to use in any fighter. Disappointing that he is stuck in such a limited, gimmicky game.

It's absolutely worth a try if you are into that Marvel vs Capcom, 3 v 3 with assists, chaotic sort of fighter.
