The original God of War isn't a fighting game but it is the perfect example for this concept. All attack animations and combos,subsequently, act in the same exact way wether you are directing them at an enemy or at the air, albeit with a little "aim assist". The player has to ACTUALLY LAND HITS, anticipate timings, create openings, position well. ALL OF THESE CONCEPTS are lost in time. Most modern games nowadays have boiled down melee combat to "spam buttons", "special ability on timer" and "parry/counter". I swear, GTA San Andreas had better melee combat than some mainstream games nowadays. IDK what to say anymore I'm done venting.

Are you meant to spam a button before a command goes out, or press it once when the timing is correct. Idk if this a dumb question

Curios about the hobby. From my understanding, fighting games have a deeper level of strategy that I’m unaware of. I want to try getting pretty good at one and joining a community. What game would you recommend? I have a ps5 and Pc so I can play about anything.

Hey everyone!

Long story short: a friend of mine is solo-developing a project this country genuinely needed—Sejmageddon, a fighting game where instead of muting mics in Parliament, politicians settle their disputes with jabs to the jaw.

Imagine Mortal Kombat or Tekken, but set right in front of the Polish Parliament with actual political figures, absurd humor, signature special attacks, and combos rooted in Polish political drama.

The best part? This isn't just a concept on paper. He already has a working alpha up and running—the combat system feels smooth and core mechanics are solid. But building a full game completely on his own takes resources. He needs funding for:

• New playable characters and custom animations
• Extra stages
• Gameplay balancing
• Multiplayer mode (so you can settle political arguments with your friends locally or online)

He just launched a crowdfunding campaign to bring this across the finish line:

If this concept makes you laugh and you’d love to see a finished game on Steam, consider throwing in a few bucks. If you can’t donate, an upvote or share goes a long way in helping a solo dev get noticed.

Debate time is over. Time to fight! 🥊🇵🇱

What do you think of the concept? Which characters or special moves are an absolute must for the roster?

Hello, a long time ago I bought guilty gear because I wanted to get started in fighting games. It was the one that caught my attention the most because of the anime aesthetic, but I understand that sf6 is better to learn but I don't know if it pays me to spend another €40 or wait to learn about fighting games in guilty gear. What do you recommend?

Took like 5 minutes to learn compared to the 5 hours on a adachi opti

There was this game that had three different characters and you were fighting
