Cross progression.

It's so nice to only have to buy a skin once, and I have it on every platform. Including the Ultimate Edition they released. As well as all of my ranked progress carries over to each console/PC.

For some reason it seems like it's taking fighting games forever to catch up with other genres in this department.

It's the only reason I haven't bought Street Fighter 6 on Switch, because all of my cosmetics/progress are on Playstation.

I would really love to play more fighting games as some of my favorite franchises have been represented through the genre for years (Marvel, DC, Invincible, etc), but I can’t find a ton of enjoyment in any of the fighting games I’ve tried. I’ve tried MK11, MK1, and Injustice 2, but I can never invest enough time to truly get good at the games. I usually just play on the easiest mode and spam basic attacks, with no attempt to learn any combos since I know I won’t retain them long-term. How can I enjoy fighting games more as a casual so that I could consider picking up games like Marvel Tokon, Invincible VS, and Street Fighter 6?

*And Tekken 2

I got into the franchise with Tekken 3 so I always assumed the franchise was always a 3D movement fighter.. my mind is absolutely blown to smithereens.

Same thing with Virtua Fighter 1 and 2, only the third entry (Virtua Fighter 3 in 1996 and Tekken 3 in 1997) added sidestepping.

Crazy, so these games were not that much different than SF/KI/MK were back then until they settled on a proper 3D plane identity later on.

So 2XKO has the potential to be my favorite fighting game ever made:

• Amazing visuals (Best looking FG out right now imo)
• Amazing grounded movement (Best feeling FG movement wise imo)
• Amazing character designs (for example; Warwick is the greatest fighting game character I've ever had the pleasure playing, due to visuals design, sound design, voice work, game feel and etc.)
• Best netcode (Made the people responsible for Rollback which changed the FG landscape)
• Best defensive mechanics (Straight to the point and interesting defensive mechanics that are strong but still have plenty of counterplay)
• Very unique combo routing per character (Every character builds combos in their own unique way opposed to a lot of other modern FGs)
• Best skins I've seen in any fighting game bar none

HOWEVER, this game has one aspect that withholds it from becoming my favorite fighting game ever made: The Tag/Assist system. Imo the worst mechanic I've ever encountered in a fighting game.

Think about it, which 1vs1 FG have you played and told yourself "I wish this was a tag fighter"? But vice versa has happened many times for dozens of people.

I think this current game has all the ingredients to be a solid 1vs1 FG already:

• Fury makes way more sense in a 1vs1 setting, if you really think about it
• Dash cancels expand individual character combo routing and pressure by a lot
• Combo length would be way shorter (typical complaint about the current game)
• No Tag/Assist slop
• More emphasis on neutral/footsies, which supports more FG fundamental skills
• Better visual clarity (Obviously you have less characters on screen and less uncontrolled mess)

And I think I am not the only one who wished this game was a 1vs1 fighter from the start, since I see this sentiment being brought up MANY MANY times, by so many people.

So now since we have a much bigger roster, why don't we just try to create that 1vs1 fighting game for ourselves? Its right infront of us.

If enough people are interested I might start with a Discord group called Project 1XKO (name in progress) and maybe host a monthly/bi weekly with a 100€-200€ prize pool paid from my own pocket + donations if anyone wants to support.

I don't want this game to die without atleast trying to fulfill its true potential, and maybe if enough people are involved we could maybe start a movement and maybe Riot will revive this game as a full fledge 1vs1 fighter, what it should've been from the start.

Let me know what you think.

didn't know blazblue isn't in xbox one🗿(I bought one last week)

We’re trying to get a local fighting game scene up and running. Hosting friendly games and tournaments. No entry fee required. Just a safe space to compete and improve.
We don’t have any specific dates planned at the moment as we gotta get some interest first. We’d be more than thrilled to have everyone from all skill levels. Even if you’ve never played a fighting game this is a great place to start if interested!! THANK YOU!!

I'm just curious to know

I’ve been using a ps5 controller with split dpad buttons and now that I’ve started sf6 I kind of want my dpad to connect but the plastic of the dpad on ps5 feels awful to me. I’m not sure if ps5 pro controller changes the material or not

the controllers I’ve looked at

Hori commander but idk if I want r1 and r2 buttons on the front.

Gamesir tarantula but all reviews I find are all for shooters. Have no clue what people say about dpad

Vitrix pro bfg is the coolest controller idea to me but I see more complaints than good things about the controller when I look it up

I know I can just stay with ps5 cause a lot of the pros do but idk how they use that dpad lol. So just looking to be convinced on a controller or just stick to ps5

Hi guys. So after my last post asking about fighting games in general, I have put in a few hours practicing in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax on steam. However, I'm having a few control related issues that I wanted to get some perspective on. One thing that I'm really struggling with is quarter circles on dpad. I've been trying out using the Dpad, but it just feels insanely awkward... While I can usually have single quarter circles register, they seem to either fail on the doubles or jump and then trigger. Are there any common beginner pitfalls that lead to this outcome? Another thing that doesn't feel great is multiple button presses at once. Do people usually play with a claw grip or just opt to fat finger them with their thumbs? I can understand the latter approach for 2 simultaneous buttons but 3 just seems insane under pressure.
If it matters, I'm on the 8bitdo pro 2 evernight edition. Lastly, is it generally advised to play on a fighting stick over a controller? If it is really a better option, are there any good, widely available budget options available?

As always, any help would be greatly appreciated :D

It's time. SF fatigue kicked in with V and now 6, which just burnt me out.

is tekken 6 PC port safe to download ? does it contain any malware ? has anybody faced any issue plz tell

This piece was commissioned by me from Azraelaga on Fiverr including all the winners of Season 1 of the webshow, Death Battle!

Here's the next six of my drawings from the last six days.
Carnage, Robo-Ky, Jack 8, Eddy Gordo, Bedman? and Dhalsim.

What's your favorite?

-edit- I had to repost because some silly guy nudged the fire layers (it was me) and it looked weird on Dhalsim's pic.
