So, people got a bit annoyed at what karl wrote about yesterday, so, he wrote another article on it in response, enjoy it.
The Street Fighter series has a long history, but which are the seven best games the franchise has yet offered to gamers?
After Street Fighter II released in in 1991, it caused a fighting game explosion, both in arcades and in home consoles. But, as the decade ended, and arcades were failing, so too were 2D Fighting games. This is how Street Fighter IV completely revitalized the genre.
I'd say Blazblue helped too. Didn't care for Street Fighter 4, but Blazblue was amazing during that time. Sad that the series kind of went downhill after the first 2 or 3 games though.
BlazBlue was phenomenal. Platinum'd Calamity Trigger because I loved it so much. I remember buying Continuum Shift back in the day at launch for like $40. They did have DLC characters (Valkenhayne, Makoto, and Platinum at the time) and it came out to just a tad more than it would at full price. Didn't mind at all.
Great fighting game.
Continuum Shift was definitely my favorite. Spent way too many hours on that game, haha... Had the counters for days with Hakumen.
BlazBlue was the much better, more technical game..and a real 2D Fighting Game after all. But yes, since it was a big name..the characters were still popular and the game itself was good, SFIV indeed helped a lot. However, I am pretty sure the much better-selling Mortal Kombat 9 would have been done without SFIV as well..and that one truly helped to make the fighting game genre in general more popular again.
You’re sound dumb. Blazblue was not better than sf4. You’re just saying that because you’re a street fighter hater.
eyyy max xD
one of the very few streamers i can actually watch without it being cringe and awful ha.
The content of IV was severely lacking when it launched. It got better over time.
Batsu Ichimonji and Bishop from the X-Men are joining the fight in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 through a recently created mod for the game.
Getting on a soap box for the sake of getting on a soap box doesn't make your opinion any more valid. Reiterating said misguided opinion piece just annoys people further.
He talks about how he did his "research." Why not go arcades like Next Level or Super Arcade and experience for himself?
fighting community does need to grow up and take the game a little more seriously.
I agree to a certain extent but truth be told what's really bad for gaming is the flood of generic lame 1st and 3rd person shooters. And the army of prepubescent 12 year olds shouting sexual and racist slurs in your ear. Seriously, the gaming industry needs a huge break from shooters. And for all the devs who make these shooting games, having ur character shout "fuck" 20 times in a sentence doesn't make your game any better or grown up. It just shows your lack of talent to make a respectable and moving storyline.
Look, this guy hasn't written a very good piece here, but he does have a point. The fighting game community is incredibly hostile as a culture. Some people are great, but overall it is an uncomfortable community for outsiders to observe.
It's not good for the actual community either. The more welcoming a community can be, the more positive the impact that it can have.
So yeah, fighting game fans - please stop condoning or ignoring the bad eggs. Do something about them, and your communities reputation will improve markedly.
