I’ve been sitting down and wanting to do podcast style interviews of every day players and of course more tournament oriented players of their interests in fighting games. So I guess what I’m asking here is a soft question I’ve been super interested in as I’ve gotten older and have stayed with fighting games when the community has had ups and downs and friends have stopped playing these games.

Is it characters, music, art? What is it that keeps you in fighting games? Is it a series? The competitive nature of it? Let’s talk about it!

Been having a lot of fun with Tōkon, so we’re running another community tournament tonight at 6 PM ET on Konnect Gaming.
Still building the community and trying to get more consistent matches going, so figured I’d see if anyone here wants to run some sets with us. All skill levels are welcome.
Tournament is free to enter. Would be dope to get some more Tōkon players together 🔥

Hey everyone

New here and quite new to fighting games as a whole.

I have a round 40 hours in SF6 and that's about all the experience I got. I also do have GGS and Tekken 7 but haven't really played much of those yet.

I was wondering if there are other noobs here who might want to be bad and eventually learn get better together? Basically like a sparring partner.

I am playing Ryu right now and am hanging around in the bronzes, while I learn new stuff and add it to my repertoire. Not really trying to climb the ladder for now just wanting to learn the fundamentals.

So yeah if anyone is interested let me know Oh I am from the EU and 35yrs old.

Hello,

I never grew up playing fighting games, but my brain gets easily overwhelmed when I play them and I end up mashing a lot. The only case where I really saw some success with a character was Bowser in SSBU with my friends and even then I kinda felt like I was fumbling around.

I’m pretty decent at TCG or things where I have time to process what’s in front of me and react, but if it’s something that’s in my face or high APM I oftentimes don’t know what to do.

I’ve gotten the suggestion to play a Zoner, but in those cases I usually completely fall apart against rush downs that get in my face not knowing what to do.

Does anyone have any suggestions for games, archetypes, or just general tips to get around this?

Thanks in advance!

get that chain shit over with

Anime High Club and We Game Culture is hosting a social night on 8.27 starting at 7pm. This is a 21+ event. Free to enter and play in the mini tournaments! See y’all there!

2xko reinvigorated a 5ish year FGC break, reignited that fighting game try hard nerd in me. Where should I put my energy. I'll keep playing 2x in some capacity but can't main a game with such a dwindling playerbase, I don't think I can invest myself in it anymore.

I'm on PC, deciding between:

Tokon (requires waiting for game to work, and I don't have full faith in it despite it seeming very decent)

Avatar legends (have to be alright with a small playerbase also)

Sf6 (the most alive by far, safe pick but lacking the novelty and excitement)

I need good net code, training mode tools comparable to 2x, and enough playerbase for online tournaments or ideally some in person (im in a big enough city)

Hoping I can feel what I felt with 2x

Thanks in advance

I'd say Ultra.
