  • Unpopular opinion: I think after season 3, when they go Tekken 8, there shouldn't be 49+ characters anymore. 35-40's a good number.

    If Tekken 8 were to limit the numbers to 35-40, do you mind on what characters we might end up getting just to keep it at that limit? Which would require to remove certain Tekken veterans (Heihachi, Eddy, & Miguel for example), some Tekken 7 cast not making their next appearance (Shaheen, Master Raven, & Leroy for example) so the game can make room for 8 new fighters, guest character, & pre order bonus.

    It depends. I think impact plays a big role so I don't see characters like Eddy, Nina, Heihachi leaving anytime soon (even as he's dead). Usage rate does matter as some characters aren't used at all (Gigas for example). And archetype I think matters, Josie v. Fahkumram's who I think of.

    If I was to sit down and make a predictive list on who I think would be gone it probably would look like this: Leo, Miguel , Shaheen, Josie, Katarina , Eliza, Gigas, Lucky Chloe, Bob, & Ganryu. Not counting Akuma, Noctis, Geese, & Negan cause they're very likely gone for guest reasons.
    Got the obsidian. First impressions: I do like the stick's responsiveness. And being able to listen to spotify while playing tekken's fun.
    I guess this is something I'm thinking through personally, but what brings anyone the biggest joy in Fighting games?

    In My early days what brings Me joy is seeing characters fighting each other until their health is 0 (or dieing by falling off stage or getting killed by supers like SSB/PSASBR), what now brings Me joy is seeing lovely girls with the addition wearing sexy outfits along and having risque camera shots (like what SFV originally had of R. Mika).

    The sense and feeling of reward generated when you can physically witness improvements in your own fighting gameplay. Being able to play and compete offline with any feeling of success is a feeling not achieved in other genres thanks to tremendous depth (well besides eSports games, which are ridiculously competitive).
    Welp went 0-2 in DOA in addition to Tekken this week. This the second time I hit rock bottom in FG's. Back to back to back 0-2's. But it's to be expected.

    Well tbh, you’re not really that good at DOA.

    Well that's been true since 2018. But one would think that they would see progress after some time. But that's life for ya. You can dedicate time to things & get nothing out of it. Story of my life. Welp, I lost all motivation. Back to my own mental therapy.

    The thing is, you’re a lab rat and you lab a lot which is a good thing. But if you don’t have that much experience fighting others and quit after a fight or 2 or avoid certain fighters you won’t improve much.

    I’m sorry about your mental state, I hope all is well!
    Going 0-2 in online tournaments consistently got me like...

    Welp no Tekken EVO this year. A bit disappointing but, it's for the best.

    There will be exhibitions held for the game and there will be a new trailer for the 4th season pass there most probably, since we know that there are additional dlc's listed on Steam for this game, 5 to be precise and the best place where one can reveal new content for their fighting game is EVO. If I had to guess, I'd say that we will be getting 2 stages and 3 characters.

    Would anyone be interested in trying out Killer Instinct or Skullgirls? KI can pass off as a game released this year despite releasing in 2013.

    Apparently people in the FGC are (re)picking up either one or the other. I'd like to pick them up too but I plan on putting only 50 euros up on my Steam account, which'll probably get me GBFVS and the 1st season pass for that price during the Summer Sale, so, I'll just probably buy them later on. Gameplay's very solid for both of them and they seem fun too though, so they're probably worth it imo.
    Now that I know my elgato will allow me to stream PS Now games, Starting thursday, We'll be on that 3d #TBT grind. Virtua Fighter 5, Tekken Tag 2, & Dead or Alive 5: LR.

    Given up on Dead or Alive 6, SoulCalibur VI & Tekken 7?
    T..J. Bernard
    T..J. Bernard
    Nah. Tekken 7 & DOA 6, I'll still play (Though I guess I'll be playing Tekken more serious as idk what DOA will have next & TWT I guess will be online). Still mulling on SC VI (Waiting on Hwang or Yun Seong). But I do want to play some good ol' throwbacks. Add's more variety. And it'll probably allow me to appreciate the series much more.

    Fair enough, VF5, TTT2 & DOA5LR are all solid games. Hwang will very likely close out SCVI Season 2. Though Namco takes forever to release DLC haha.
    Went 1-2 again in Hoodless weekly. Using different characters has been pretty fun. Bayman & Rig down. Now for the next character or characters.
    Welp, a Call of Duty that I already own (and don't like) & a Star Wars Battlefront that's not the one's in 2004... Uncharted 4 it is. Maybe in July Spiderman.
    Hearing that spiderman could be the next PS Plus game puts me in a difficult position. Do I go w/ Uncharted 4 next or dive into Spiderman 1st. Both possible GOAT status games. Hard to decide.
    Welp, I did win a set but after lost yet again in Hoodless weekly. Back to the drawing board with my search for a new main. Hopefully next week I do better.
    When the PS5 comes out, I'm ensuring that as I grind Sports/Fighting games, I play more single player games again. I missed out with PS4 with the absolute fire of games.

    I'm not waiting. I'm bouta hop on Uncharted 4 next (Another masterpiece). I'm saying that starting on the PS5, I'm fully gonna get back on it, in addition to the other stuff. I wasn't on it much during the PS4 run. It was mainly multiplayer or bust and I'll just watch the walkthrough. And because of that, I missed out on some potential GOAT tier games. @Onryoki

    Well, you won't be really missing out on the PS4 exclusives, since Sony said that PS5 will be backwards compatible with PS4 games, so if you'll buy the new console, chances are that you'll be able to play any PS4 game on it, so whenever you wish you can just buy the previous gen's games and play it on the new gen console.

    With regards to Sony's "censorship", it will mostly apply to or be the biggest threat to incredibly niche, "perverted" Japanese games. None of the games that you seem to be interested in fall into that category. For instance, more niche than DOA (think along the lines of a "Senran Kagura"-esque game).
    It's official: FF VII Remake Pt 1's entering my personal GOAT status list. This game's absolute fire. Bomb soundtrack, fun battles, sense of progression. Some of the most fun I had in a single player in a while.

    The fact that this game got a soundtrack that can get me pumped up for the gym alone and has the most relatable (comic) scene in history puts this game in GOAT status.
    Maybe it's me, but the more I play games like FF, KH, 2k, etc though the situation's dire, the good moments (Not epic action scenes), I kinda wish I could experience in real life for myself. Kinda depresses me in a way.

    try to play death stranding, you got reverse effect
    Thinking about getting an obsidian, if it has a circular gate, to test & see if movement would work better for me w/ a circular gate rather than square. Or I can wait for the Hitbox Crossup. Any recommendations?
    Well. Minus my movement that always needs work, I got complimented by one of the best Tekken players in a way for a round. I'll take it. :zack:

    Tamaki's S to me. And lastly some characters are pretty unexplored for me: Mai, Kula, & Momiji to name a couple so after a month or so, this beta list will very likely change.

    You should make a DOA5 one. There was never even a finalized DOA5LR, most of it is 5U or tiers based off players themselves or tournament rather than toolkits.

    I gotchu. I might take a bit but I do want to compare the two in regards to that.
