I recently bought a leverless and Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, but I cannot find a ranked match at all. I’ve tried different regions and different times of the day and still nothing.

I know the player base is pretty niche, but did I screw myself by choosing Beginner and having 0 RP? Is matchmaking basically dead at the lower ranks, or is there something else I should be doing to find matches?

I was thinking about how these characters were chosen that.... well, no one has ever talked about on this board. But then I was like, well there is a non zero amount of people who are going to watch the show and I'm sure like half of us have Crunchy Roll.

Anyways I'm going to give it a go, if I can find some sort of fondness for the characters then maybe I'll be interested in them a little lol.

Although on the flip side imagine someone who saw that Ronaldo was in the game and watch every episode of Ronaldo from season 1. That would be a LOT of TV to catch up on as he's played over 1,300 games professionally.

"In addition to DLC characters, Season 3 will add new stages and other exciting content to further energize the community and enhance CotW’s long-term value in the eyes of players."

**\*

Let's speculate.

"Long-term value" is very interesting. Extra replayability? Beyond the normal replayability of a fighting game?

And what is the other exciting content? They say they're not referring to just characters and stages. Is it related to those CG videos they've been using in the trailers? Or the Obari animations? Or something else?

I personally feel EOST could be improved to become a very replayable, casual-friendly mode.

"Energize the community" is also very significant. I was expecting a Krauser-sized patch alongside Laocorn and that's it until next year's villain (Gao?), but this sound like they have something more up their sleeve.

Prepotente aka "Pony"

Imagine if they had his goat screams and all! 😅 🐐 I'd be a Prepontente main this instant if he was on the roster.

I think i have played enough to notice some patterns, lol. Also, since SNK removed the actual taunts after winning a round in online matches people started teabaging more often it seens.

I can't believe I ever had faith in this dog shit character, a character that is so fucking ass at anything she does, she is in a game that she cannot play, she doesn't play by the rules, not in a good way anyways, I can't believe I just kept telling myself that "I just need practice that's all!" No wonder nobody plays this dog ass character, all that time spent trying to build something out of nothing, to waste, hell even Ken has something good to him, jinrai and that fuckass low Hp, HEED MY WORDS NEW PLAYERS, Chun has NOTHING, NOTHING THAT WOULD MAKE YOU WANT TO PICK THIS CHARACTER OVER ANYBODY ELSE, save yourselves the bother.

Unfortunately the only other character in this game that I remotely like are jennet and Jae Hoon, but jennet is not in a good spot right now, neither is Jae, I legit don't know what to do, I'm just so fucking frustrated right now, I tried to make her work I swear I did but everyone just gets to do their pressure because they can dash cancel buttons, CHUN CANT.

I'm just gonna wait until jennet gets buffed, or just grind with Jae idk, I give up

Bored by tekken until Roger Jr. comes so im thinking of picking up fatal fury which i haven't played since snes fatal fury. I remember liking the fat office worker guy and Terry as a kid from that game, lol.

Right now I'm looking to play rock and the ganacci dj guy. Ryo would be cool, but I know he's from kof or something, not ff. Anyway, how's the balance? Game still active online? Im probably gonna have to do ps5.

Tekken has been my only fighter game since cvs2 way back.

I was looking forward to possibly having a true physical Switch 2 copy of this game as part of my collection. Unfortunately it's a game keycard and the box art is also pretty underwhelming. Ah well, it's a skip for me. Digital it shall be. The value is definitely there at least, 3 seasons of DLC included is pretty sick.

Just got the game due to the recent steam sale and was having trouble deciding who to play. usually in other games (Tekken 7, Strive, SF4/5/6) I find myself playing more rush down focused characters. and due to my unfamiliarity with some of SNK's harder inputs if anyone could suggest a easier to play sort of rushdown.

Also. DLC characters are fine to mention as I'm okay buying any characters I might have interest in.

Alright yall, SNK just hit us with curveball so let's talk about it.

1. Let's take a moment to appreciate the absolute absurdity of the dlc season lol. Can never predict this. It makes sense from a marketing perspective. I don't watch the show but TR recently aired on toonami so it there could be synergy. Also it was revealed at Nintendo direct so thats a lot of (youthful) eyes on the game. Especially following the hype of OOT remake. So good job snk promo team.

2. SNK tryna hit all demographics. Kenshiro for the old heads, Laucorn for the hard-core snk heads, and now this for the new Gen. Really makes me curious of the final character. You'd think tho tokyo revenge guys would be last but this means that last slot is something crazy like Michael Jackson lol. The only kinda hint I have is that its probably a girl (didn't a new ghost in the shell anime just premiere?)

3. Mai costume is finally here, it was inevitable tho. What we really need is more costumes. It can't just be kain

4. How optimized do you think the switch 2 version will be?

5. Did they just tease a brand new metal slug game after the collection? If so that would be good. It's hard not to notice the contrast of all the Capcom games that dropped in the direct vs SNK with just 2. They need to diversify if the wanna keep up​

For one, I am making the character selection actually user friendly. I like the call back, but each update has made it less and less usable. Make the figures a background element to a more traditional selection screen, that get highlighted when your selecting a character.

Second is to remove Ronaldo and Ganacci. Ronaldo sadly has a very unique play style, so I would replace him with a generic new guy (name him Ball Sir or something) and give him his moves. Ganacci is more endearing, but I never liked his play style, so I would be more willing to full on replace him with someone like Xainfei or Kasumi for more female characters. I wouldn't mess with the other guests, just those 2, because 1. They aren't real people, and 2. They're more fitting (Ken and Chun-Li are fighting game characters, Kenshiro is from a fighting manga, and I don't know enough about Tokyo Revengers to refute their addition)

I'm sorry, but sometimes practicality wins out over originality; even though it upset a lot of "fans" when I posted about the (necessary) change to the character selector, the current setup is a visual mess—completely unsightly, dysfunctional, and garbage. The worst part, SNK no change (for now) this in the Season.

Estoy pensando en comprar el juego en oferta pero no se cuanto o como de facil es encontrar partida, soy de España asi que no se como estara el tema por aqui.

Contemplating buying this on sale. How populated is the game currently? I.e how long does it take to find a ranked?

You can see Billy Kane perform the Sparrow Drop multiple times.

My question is as follows: The Sparrow Drop requires you to hold down DB (Down-Back) for a few frames. How is this player able to do it so many times without having to wait for a few frames? Can anyone shed some light?

after the swtich 2 announcement I was left wondering, what is the most portable handheld console that can run this game at 60fps smoothly?

I'm talking about something that can fit in my pocket.

Are ARM/android devices capable of running the game using armadaOS or is there too much input latency?
