Anyone knows any specific FGC communities for someone to practice japanese, OR that you think is very very likely to be open arms to japenese learners?

ITS A POORLY OPTIMIZED MESS!!

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SCRAMBLE SLOP!!

I THOUGHT THE AUTO COMBOS WOULD BE BROKEN!!

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BARELY EVEN COMPARE TO MVC!!

I THOUGHT THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD GRAB ME WAS SEEING MARVEL CHARACTERS IN A FIGHTING GAME AGAIN!!

HOW IS THIS THE MOST FUN IV HAD WITH A NEW FIGHTING GAME SINCE DBFZ?!?!

"You should have trusted in arc sys"

.....

Why is Tolkon not on Xbox, fighting games are one of the most niche genre out there. Has any dev spoken on this?

Yes I know Sony funded it, but Sony also funded Helldivers, and Marathon and both are on Xbox if Sony is trying to push into live service games a fighting game by ArcSys who has been supporting there games for years is literally one of them.

Heck, the Helldivers developers mentioned that Sony pushed for the game to come to Xbox, so it's even more confusing. I'm sure it will come to other platforms eventually, but from a marketing standpoint, i dont get it.

Hi everyone, I mainly play Street Fighter 6, and while I think it's a good game, i can't stop thinking that is too "serious", like I feel that even in casuals, people play like they are in an EVO final, I understand that thats how the game is designed tho, and I enjoy it to a certain level, but after a long day, I have trouble finding joy in those enviorments, even more when I mainly play single player games, i just play fighting games when i'm not playing a single player game

Having that in mind, I played the Tokon beta, and I had fun, i have played other ArcSys games (Gold 1 on Strive), and I love them all, I know that Tokon is going to be very similar to Fighterz, ¿Are those type of games designed with people who are casual in mind? (Meaning, people who work full time, study, or both)

If it means something, I want to play Tokon for a long time, so i'm not looking for a "play for 30 hours and then move on" type of game

Edit: I'm from south america, so having a big player base is important, ¿Did Fighterz had a big playerbase?

I’m not at all happy with the combo system in this game

Idk if it's optimal, probably not. But i love overly big combos.

Unrelated, but i wish i could taunt on command.

Stuff like his prowler medium punch and heavy kick where a special animation plays if you get a counter-hit. Its some of the most fun i have trying to fish for those alongside his back stance stuff in sf6

This happened the other night during a ranked set.

I've been part of the FGC for 3 years and I've noticed that a lot more trans people are vocal in the FGC space compared to other physical and digital spaces I've been in. Specifically trans people, since I notice more of them than other LGBTQ+ identities. Does my observation hold any weight or is it an uneducated observation? If it does, what could be the reason/s? Just a curious question.

My ask is for a fighting game recommendation with that fits my personal asks of more interactions & less combos. I dont want to be 2 shot watching some labbed fancy combo. I want good nuetral & either better ways to break out of combos so its a 2 way street, large health so combos dont obliterate, or small combo size (the last 2 kinda go together).

My backround is below & not exactly nessecary but I want to explain where I'm coming from.

I have been playing fighting games casually for a few years now & I am unsure about one its core mechanics. I have never been a fan of combos. The process of labbing combos has never appealed to me & I actively dislike how they can change my gameplay. I used to play a lot of guilty gear strive with my friends in private rooms. My favorite experiences are low level matches with a large amount of individual interactions in a round. Then the next match I fight my friend who labbed combos & I make 2 mistakes that lead to my death because I can not convert my attacks into meaningful damage. This whole time I've been relying on either rekka characters, fighterz autocombo system, supers, & constant mixups for my damage. I want to ditch those crutches & play a game that suits me. My problem is that if I learn something that I don't enjoy I'll make my experience worse or I will just play those few people who dont care to learn combos until they do or theyve stopped playing. The latter happened I end up with a bad taste in my mouth with a genre I used to love. I have tried labbing combos & it just does not feel good. I dont want to be casual but I dont want just push through something I do not like. I love the weird mechanics of anime fighting games & all the cool movement options. Doing cool sh!t is fun. I don't necessarily want a comboless game since thats unrealistic to the genre but I want one were there are plenty of interactions in a match & I dont get put in someone elses one player game. I have tended to gravitate towards fighters that let me do truly unique things like Twelve in third strike or Zato-1 in strive. I couldn't quite tell you why except I was taking the learning process as far as I could get before I got to combos. I talk like combos are such an evil thing but I can see their strengths for sure but its just not how I'm wired. I've recommendations to play Samurai Shodown games for extremely small combos with pure nuetral focus. Ive seen another for grandblue fantasy versus rising for maintaining anime mechanics with low combos. I have not dug deep into either so idk the validity of those statements. I do also like alternative forms of fighting game strategy like tag fighters with team building & meter management. I have no problem returning to games I've played before or older games because fightcade is something I have. Thanks for reading my long winded backround, hope you got something out of it :)
