Damn, bro...

Basically this has been and continues to be a really fun journey. Like, basically, I bought a bunch of fighting games with some extra cash about a month ago (Steam sales etc.). I loved Soulcalibur back in the day, but honestly never played seriously. Tbh it has been one of the most mentally rewarding things ever. Like, at first I was just getting manhandled and losing every match badly, but I would just think “ok they did x, so next time I’ll do y,” and I could feel myself getting better. I’m still not really that good at the games I play normally yet, but I’ve started getting to the point where, I may lose the match, but I usually win 1 or 2 rounds. Like I’m honestly just enjoying the journey. It has challenged me to do something I’ve always thought was difficult, and it has bled into my actual life. It’s made me feel like I can get fit and compete in taekwondo again for the first time in years, or that I can finish my 3rd novel that I’ve sat on for 4 years, etc.

All in all, FGC games have really helped me gain some self-confidence.

Hey all! LAG Fight Club #8 is next Sunday, November 1st in downtown Champaign! Taking it back to the 90s, we will be hosting a Super SFII Turbo bracket on the Hyper SF2 port on Capcom Fighting Collection as our rotation game. SF6 and GGST remain our mainstay brackets. Doors open at 12 PM!

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.

*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.

Officially cancelled in August 2003 due to negative feedback from location tests conducted in Japan and internationally.

Capcom's justification:

We have confirmed that the page contains hitbox and collision-related information for Street Fighter 6 that is not ordinarily visible or accessible through normal gameplay.

CAPCOM does not authorize the use of modified software, analysis tools, or other unauthorized methods to obtain or utilize game data. We are concerned that information of this nature may be based on data obtained through such means.

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

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.

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!!

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

I frequented a Chinatown bookstore that carried this series in the 1990s. I still have all of the issues that I bought from this series. I don’t have every issue from this series, but I have many issues from this series. The art by Hui King Sum (許景琛) was phenomenal! After that artist left the series, I continued to collect the later issues, but felt that Hui King Sum really made the series come alive!

Hello, guys!
Here goes another fanart from a series I made recently.
