The Fighting Game topic

Such a weird line up, but whatever. Kinda sick of seeing Fighterz but it does get the views so they would be stupid to not include that.

As of now, EVO is still scheduled for July despite a lot of other tournaments having cancelled.

Though I've seen it suggested that they're hoping the governor declares a state of emergency so at least they'll be let go of their contract.

Not really sure if that's ballsy or not?

I still rather be safe than sorry

Has there ever been a tag team fighting game with two characters that allow combos like this?

Because if not there should be. But balanced, somehow.

SF X T & MVC 1 didn't do that?

I could've sworn someone showed how busted that mechanic is

Combo Breaker is the latest to cancel.

Aw shit, Combo Breaker is the FG event I looked forward to the most.

Evo 2020 is moving online.

Wonder how they’ll be able to organize

But it does feel to me with e sports, the transition should be easier

AnimEvo is also moving online this year.

How the main EVO functions will be interesting to see since most of the previously announced games have terrible netcode. The last-gen port of MVC 2 for PS3 and Xbox 360 actually had fairly good online, but has long since been delisted.

MVC 2 could be bumped to 2021.

Maybe they're haggling with Capcom and/or Disney and Marvel to bring back MvC2's online for EVO Online 2020? They did say there were some loose ends to deal with.

(Man, if there was ever a time to release a hypothetical Marvel vs. Capcom Legacy Collection, it would be now...)

The optimistic part of me says that this was meant to hype up an MVC collection, or even an HD/Ultimate MVC 2 announcement at EVO, until COVID hit.

The optimist in me thinks basically that too, but it also be a collection of every Marvel game Capcom ever made.

...Eat a dick, COVID-19.

I mentioned this in the Chatbox thread but I'm doubting whether it's worth buying fighting games if you can't do combos.

I've never been able to do much besides basic moves. I've been playing Tekken 3 and I predominantly kick to win. When I played Street Fighter 2 and Super Street Fighter IV. I never learned how to even do a Hadouken. I can't beat Mortal Kombat 1 through 3. The only fighting games I can play decently are mascot fighters.

The enjoyment seems fairly low if you use basic moves. I unlock as many characters as I can, play the story mode, and then that's basically it for the game.

Here's the question: with all the tutorial modern fighters have and resources on the internet, why are you NOT taking the time to learn those things? Honestly this just comes down to you not wanting to truly learn, and no, I don't think it's worth getting games you're not going to put any actual effort into learning.

This is a good video to watch if you have the spare time.

Some people just aren't good at certain times of games. I can't remember and pull off most fighting game moves.

You're already admitting defeat before you even step in the ring. Frankly I remember them less as individual directions and more as motions. Like hadoken isn't a down/diagonal down/forward punch, it's quarter circle motion punch. Generally a lot of fighting game move remembrance is down via conditioning and muscle memory. Take combinations like shoryukens and 360 moves can be a bit tricky to learn at first but once you find a method to consistently do it you'll be good.

Learning fighting games I would kind of put like learning an instrument and to perform

So it seems that MLP fan project has grown into a seriously good fighter:

After personally trying myself, I'm not surprised.

I just hope it does well overall.

Too bad it's MLP and thus no one will take it seriously. I'm one of them, sorry.

And you're being Shallow, No offense.

Unfortunately a lot of people get an instant negative reaction to MLP, most likely not having really sat down to watch it.

Which is a shame because it probably was one of the better cartoons of this decade.
