Ultra Fighting Game Megathread Turbo Tag Extend +R 2018 Edition - Games

I've found the best fighting game credits animation ever. Nothing can ever top this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzoK9LFiMHI&t=23m28s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7O4zOXALIY This is glorious. All the tweets too are just, MUAH, prime A++ salt. Evo doesn't have to put a game from 2001 on the main roster when there's LOADS of new games and games that deserve attention. Just like other old great games, see you in the Evo side tournaments, you entitled fucks.

UNIST being called the Melee killer might be the best advertising French Bread could have ever asked for.

Didn't Melee players said Melee don't need EVO a couple years back? Or was it some other game

No, it was definitely Melee players saying that. Reap what you sow. Even now, you have players like Leffen claiming EVO is going to come crawling back to Melee.

I mean salty Melee players aside it's true, Smash Bros has enough enormous majors that losing Evo is more of a blow to the ego than to the actual health of the scene. Continuing to be at Evo was more for bragging rights at its enduring popularity and numbers than because it needed it, and if it was purely a numbers game Melee still wins over the majority of other headliners at Evo. The real takeaway is "we hate you so much we don't want your money" being rubbed in their faces and all they can hit back with is "but our numbers are still big" which is powerless when Evo's managers don't care.

Good on EVO for not wanting to lug around all those CRTs anymore. It's really not enough for them that they get so many tournaments just for their games.

Tekken 7 update is out. I love how they turned Negan's grin-and-bat-on-shoulder walk into a stance, this moveset is pretty cool.

OH MY GOODNESS

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the logistics of running melee at EVO outweighed the benefit.

Negan is great. No idea how viable he is in the long run, but he's fun to play at least. His voicelines (especially the endless series of SHIT and GODDAMN when he's getting pummeled) are amazing

they had the 2nd highest average viewership, only under dragonball fighterz which was huge even for evo. it's more because developers can basically just pay their way into getting an evo spot now

It's hella hard to find holes in his offense to flash with Yoshi, god damn have I eaten a lot of unnecessary damage trying to flash him instead of blocking Julia seems like the real threat, I keep getting lazy in low hp situations and just eating that low-mid natural that just takes a massive chunk of your health and leaves you to get oki fuck't. Also her WS game is nuts.

I seriously doubt it's because of that big French Bread $$$.

NE-GAN! There's no need to feel down... I said NE-GAN! Knock that bitch on the ground!

i'm more talking about samurai shodown, a game that came completely out of the blue where nobody has any clue of how the game even plays yet or how good it's actually going to be. and knowing snk's recent track record, i wouldn't be too excited

What do you mean their recent track record? KoF14 is ugly as hell but it's a great game.

SNK Heroine is also a fairly fun party game, though it is too expensive for its content imo. The Metal Slugs mobile games also play surprisingly well microtransaction aside.

DOA6's price seems a little on the steep side for its current content but at least they're providing important updates for free and they've fixed a lot of the weird niggles from 5, also nico is hilarious given the various issues with the console ports I'm hoping the playercount will continue to rise over time, especially if the tourneys get their way and make PC the standard platform, because I sincerely doubt I'm the 50th best Kokoro player in the world lmao

They did that weird thing where you omit any number or subtitle from the name of the new game and confuse everyone, but it's been around since 93 with 6 previous main series releases.

Isn't the new game supposed to be reboot or graphically updated re-release of first one?

SNK Heroine also has the problem of it being Skullgirls if Lab Zero was horny the entire time they worked on it which (ironically) turns off a LOT of people that may be interested in the game otherwise.

i give this post two thumps up!

Why does negan get a 50% combo off his power crush?

I seriously doubt they're going to make an HD remake of the first one when anyone that plays it competitively is going to do so in II or V Special. A continuity reboot is possible, they may also be making the game more aggressive so it's combo-oriented, which in one way would draw in more viewers, but on the other would make it lose it's methodical identity.

It's an extremely punishable mid. Lili has one (ff2, -17), and Hwoarang has a +6 on block tracking power crush that leads to 50+% dmg combo's.

Got UNIST because of the evo hype, pretty dope but I can barely find anyone online
