Tournament full of dead anime games

>Meanwhile SFV has a whole Pro Tour dedicated to it, funded by a large company,

> funded by a large company

When you pump money into a competitive scene, you tend get good results in building a large community.

But MK is terrible. It's an absolute joke as a competitive game. Keep in mind that it's champion is an 18 year old furry that plays on pad, so it's not exactly complex. If you're going to mention western developed fighting games, at least bring up some shit like Killer Instinct since they put real effort into making it a tournament game.

...

And BB's champion is a 19 year old Chinese tranny who plays on pad. Your point?

CEOTAKU is pretty fun user, you should come out to next year's.

jesus i don't even play anime bullshit and you're a fucking faggot retard. you should really do yourself and everyone you know a favor and set yourself on fire, at least you'll burn for a while you fat fuck.

Marvel is an anime game.
>air dashes
>retardedly long chain combos
>overpowered assists
>ridiculously imbalanced tier lists
No idea why you guys suck this game off so much. Just because it's Capcom?

I've had more fun watching CEOtaku than anything in the entire CPT so far by a longshot. Don't mind it being dead compared to SFV as long as it means events stay fun as fuck.

Who said I like BB? More importantly, do you really think that actual normalfags will know/care about the difference. This is like MTG nerds thinking their cooler than Yugioh nerds. When your dad walks in and sees you shuffling cardboard on a Friday night with teenagers, he's going to think you're a faggot regardless of your false sense of superiority.

>t.Triggered weeb

Marvel is dead, who even cares about that game anymore.

I've noticed the people that make these kinds of comments barely ever go outside and have fun since they're too busy angrily judging guys confident enough to go outside and be proud of what they like, even if it's retarded.

>19 year old Chinese tranny
Are you referring to SKD or something?

Yes.

Apparently they care enough to still put it in tournaments. But why is that relevant? It was pretty big for a while and Americans were playing it for that huge pot, much like Street Fighter x Tekken. Fucking hell, I'm convinced you people would play a an air dasher if it weren't sponsored by some big company.

Serious question for those of you that don't like anime games, though. Would you play an airdasher if it had the aesthetic of something like MK or Tao Feng?

>IRL wife
Something tells me he's living in denial and it's just him using that twitter handle.
Anyone got that picture of madthad and his waifu?
This is just like that.

the problem is that a lot of people tend to not stick with one anime game at a time.

It's not like they're playing more than one, but they drop one and go to the newest one. So the community for the previous one falls flat
that's kind of the thing.

Capcom is much bigger than Arcsys, so they can do something like that. It's easy combined with just how well known SF is.

>Tao Feng?

I'm honestly surprised anyone remembers that mess.

I would play an airdasher if it had good character designs and gameplay and didn't look like some faggot shit that would put me on a watchlist just for owning it. Unfortunately Marvel fails at the good gameplay part.

How does, say, GGXrd have bad gameplay?

>entire game is based on setplay faggotry
>nonsense like YRC
>option selects and glitches fucking everywhere
>faggot characters like elphelt, millia and raven
>gorilla mash characters like johnny, sin and sol
>DANGER TIME

They had an opportunity to solve many of XX's issues but didn't, even though Blazblue fixed many of those issues.

>entire game is based on setplay faggotry
Like most modern fighting games. More importantly, you can burst out of those, or if you know your opponent's setups, simply avoid them. This is not SFIV, you can get out of frametraps and 50/50s
>nonsense like YRC
So there's something wrong with messing around with whiffs? You don't have to use it and it's easy to counter anyway.
>option selects and glitches fucking everywhere
What the fuck is wrong with option selects? Don't most fighting games have these? Also, I'm pretty sure most of the glitches have been patched.
>faggot characters like elphelt, millia and raven
Not an argument
>gorilla mash characters like johnny, sin and sol
If they're mashing, you should know how to counter them. Do you also think hadouken spamming is cheap?
>DANGER TIME
Uh.... something that barely ever happens and gives you a chance to do more damage if you're smart is bad?
What did BB fix exactly? Haven't played CF.
>I'm honestly surprised anyone remembers that mess.
I give basically every fighting game a chance since I'm not a no fun allowed autist.

>le option selects are bad meme
Is that you Sirlin?

Except Sirlin likes GG.

You're right, commiting to options rather than having a safety net thrown on everything you do is the mark of a bad game.

>less than sfv

0 is the same as 0. No one plays fighting shit.

This, why does such a small community have elitism when they still have numbers nowhere near Dota, CoD, or LoL?

Stuff like summons not taking hits, which is why characters like Dizzy and Eddie were so good.

It's pretty easy when they play games that require actual skill

Handball and bowling also require skill (and proper genetics), but you don't see this level of unwarranted self importance outside of video games.

Most option selects get patched out, unlike other games.

GG plays nothing like UNIB.
UNIB bothers the fuck out of me -- it's a grounded fighter with all the bullshit of an anime game.

imagine melty blood even though it plays nothing like melty blood but still has all of the problems that game has

pretty much this

GG and BB are like the only anime fighters that have had any sort of staying power, and they're still not massive.

Danger time has no excuse.

Shit, I haven't watched any of it. Anything interesting happen?

1. you cannot remove all option selects from a game because of the nature of them and how fighting games work
2. trying to remove them/trying to give ridiculous weight and commitment to actions generally makes a game worse (sfv, uniel)
3. you can make situations have many more meaningful outcomes by having diverse and balanced option selects (shotos have several different option selects on dictator's wakeup in SF4 for example, and dictator has 6 different ways to deal with them)

>Idiot nerds pretend they're better than other nerds
You're all shit eating faggots. There's a reason why no real western esports event wants you FGC niggers plaguing it. We don't care how good you think your "legit non-anime fighting game" is, because to us, it's all the same shit to us. SF might as well be a game about raping a 12 year old with giant eyes and MK might as well be a my little pony game. You're all a bunch of loud monkeys that don't know how to act around human beings, so you'll be sectioned off in your ghetto as such.

>overwatch
>esports
kek

>implying FGC wants to be part of esports

Also nice OW pic, hold those dying twitch views.

I think it's pretty generally accepted that the only reason anyone plays that shallow POS is the easy Blizzard money.

>10 MILLION players
>dead game
Even if you don't like it, it's still more played in every region than any shitty fighting game, with larger payouts. Hell, Dota is more relevant than any fighting game. More money, more views, more serious adults playing it, superior in every way. Your move, coons.

Okay, Tekken I'm fine with but you cannot fucking tell me with a straight face that MK is better than Guilty Gear

It has cool ninjas, though, and totally not weeaboo because I fucking say so and they are Chinese, which is somehow less shit than Japan.

>quality of game is based on views and money
Yeah Hearthstone, CoD, and LoL must be the greatest game ever made. Why are you even here if you don't play fighters?

>"serious adults"
lmao at this Blizzcuck

Who cares? We're talking about fighting games here, not your braindead simon says games. They're more popular because they appeal to the lowest common denominator. Should I also be upset that more people work at mcdonalds than attend fighting game tournaments?

Is Tatsunoko vs Capcom the only anime fighting game that doesn't get any shit from you people?

Isn't that literally the argument you nigs use for why Street Fighter is better than anime games?
>Dota
>Simon says
I know know you probably don't know how to use a computer, but that doesn't mean that Dota is simple.

TvC is stupidly broken

>implying money and views mean anything about the quality of the game
>implying mobas couldn't be played by actual monkeys
>implying that those games aren't popular only because they're shallow enough for casual shitters to understand and pretend to be good at

Yes, but I never see any shitposting about it when threads come up for it. Is it because it's a Capcom game or because it's on Wii?

Where is the porn of her

It's because it was on the Wii and no one really played it.

Esports is glamorized corporate dicksucking. A game receiving the esports seal of approval is a kiss of death, as it no longer has an identy beyond "it's played at tournaments".

>implying money and views mean anything about the quality of the game
You're right, Clayfighter is better than Street Fighter V
>implying mobas couldn't be played by actual monkeys
Well I see monkeys playing fighting games pretty often, but I don't think they win events against the asians, so I'm not sure how true this claim is.
>implying that those games aren't popular only because they're shallow enough for casual shitters to understand and pretend to be good at
Oh great, I can't wait to see your Overwatch team win the world championship soon, good luck, user!

>Call of Duty has no identity as a cultural phenomenon.
Also, you must be forgetting that SFV was on ESPN.

Yes, Esports are played by respected adults, unlike your shitty button mashers.

>SKD
>Champion of anything

nigga gets bodied by japanese office workers visiting the arcade after work when he goes to japan.

But CEOtaku has Capcom games.

>MK
Casual dudebro detected

This.

SKD is a fraud. He complains about EVERYTHING.

So much excuses about why he lost.

I remember him saying so many excuses why he lost in Japan, that Jiyuna got mad at him for it in the end.

>"Street Fighter is more popular and better than this shitty unpopular game from over twenty years ago, therefore popularity must decide which game is better"
>"Haha niggers are monkeys and niggers play fighting games so fighting games are simple, except they still lose to more skilled asians?"

>implying OW isn't a vastly simpler and more casualized version of other shooters
>implying any of the current top-level OW teams aren't playing the game solely because it has Blizzard money
>implying that if TF2/Quake/Dirty Bomb/any other real shooter was casual enough to get decent views for its tournaments that those top level players wouldn't still be playing them
>implying the only reason OW has any views or any competitive scene isn't because Blizzard is artificially propping it up

Nice arguments. I see I've been bested in a duel of wits. Exactly as expected from a MOBA master such as yourself. :^)

I think OP is wrong too, views don't imply quality and if you don't agree you're just as autistic. These guys get it: >thinks Smash is the same as FGC

Yeah there's your mistake user.

Anyways CEOtaku just ended, was a good watch.

Dota has no mechanical skill involved whatsoever, so immediately it is at a disadvantage. Strategy is the lowest form of skill, and is really just the act of following simple instructions, unless you are the top 0.1% of players that have knowledge of everything already employed in the game and thus can innovate. Strategy also is not exclusive to Dota.

Dota hedges itself on producing as many 'unique' situations as possible with its oversized cast and time wastey numbers games, to give the illusion of depth and complexity-you will probably never see every possible configuration of game elements in your lifetime. This works because the majority of the people who play these kinds of games are stupid. Simple observation of these situations will make it very clear that they aren't all that different from each other, and a hundred of them in Dota amounts to the complexity and intrigue of a single situation in a fighting game.

Not even counting the fact that you spend a big portion of Dota avoiding interaction with other humans, further removing the depth that would come with dealing with human psychology, which is something massively present in every legitimate competitive game genre, Fighting games, RTS games, arena shooters, etc.

Dota is a game about memorizing exceptions and how to respond to them. You can train monkeys to do that task competently.

Nones playing OW becuse its a good comp game they're playing it for blizzard money

>TF2
>real shooter
someone didn't play TF Classic, I see

>11.2k followers

Here's a top level TF2 player's opinion of Overwatch. "OW is casual shit" aside, it's somewhat insightful as to what actual highly-skilled FPS players see in the game.

Spoiler, though, they think it's casual shit.

>he's never played competitive 6s

>doesn't believe Dota is skillful
>thinks fighting games, RTS, and arena shooters are legitimate competitive games

user, why are you so based?

>tfw the entirety of Xrd top 8 at CEOtaku

What was your favorite match in CEOtaku?

Mine was Betadood vs Kizzie, seeing a random do that well against Kizzie with Ragna was amazing.

Been going to regular CEO for two years now but I feel like going to CEOtaku next year and learning an anime game. What's a good place to start? Guilty Gear, Skullgirls, and P4AU catch my eye.

MOBAs are 80% PvE so its a guarentee they involve no skill to play

What do you play

GG is the most popular, so you'll have the most chance to find a match. I like Skullgirls, but it's combos are kind of long and it's somewhat dead, as in, I have to go around trolling for matches now. I don't know much about P4AU other than it's supposedly easy to play.

>scrolling shooters require no skill

Play uniel like a real nigga

>P4AU

Don't you ever consider it, user. Just play Guilty Gear.

So was I the only person excited for Nitroplus? I know it's a kusoge, but that's why I love it. You can just retarded rush down with no real downsides.

>no Hokuto no Ken played anywhere

I like GG the most, it's great if you don't mind a lot of different system mechanics. SG is more akin to MvC, might as well try it since it's usually dirt cheap on Steam. Not sure how to describe P4AU, it's like Jojo's.

GG, BB, UNIEL, Skullgirls, and Melty are the ones that are basically guaranteed to be there next year. Just pick whatever of those fits your fancy.

Mine was kedako and doren vs KV
Because I like watching KV lose also doren was hype.

always guilty gear

Doren 2k got 3rd place in Xrd with Jam and was a game away from advancing to grand finals

I love it for the same reasons. I'm shit at fighters but I can still beat my friends in it with my "mixups".

out of those games Guilty Gear

P4AU is literally dead because they never released the update over here

Isn't Ultimax the update?

There's a 2.0 patch to the game that just never got released over here

There was a balance update released for ultimax like a year and a half ago

I want to give Ramlethal a footrub!

Morel like the games are too hard for SFfags.
