Fighting Game Hype Thread

[Blinge]

I hear SFV will have parries.... but only for Ryu.

[Stevens]

In Britain eh? Dudley or Eagle basically confirmed.

Or Cammy. Or Birdie.

Whoops. Forgot about them

Seriously though, Eagle would be dope.

And it looks great, but I was hoping it would have looked more like an updated 3rd Strike.

At this point they could release another sequel to the SF3 series with more characters, a rebalance, sprites and similar mechanics.
I think people would go nuts for it.

My dream SF game is basically 4's roster with 3S's graphics/art/animation/meter and super turbos awesomeness.

I don't think SF5 looks as bad as Trap says [those two screenshots he pulled are particularly bad though, look at those fucking faces man] or anywhere approaching the best looking 3D rendered fighter on the market [which would be Xrd].

it already looks nicer than SF4, but that's not hard in the slightest

There, now it's on the right thread.

This is the last thing I expected to hear, ever.

I love Breakers Revenge. Dumb as fuck at times [hi, Sho], but a ton of fun.
Of course, I wonder how many people love the game enough to drop 348 EUR on it, although it's apparently it's a little hard to find even in MVS format right now.

[Skykid]

omg I just looked at the rest of those shots. I thought it was bad, but holy flying fuck

New Clayfighter game?

New Donkey Kong Country

[iconoclast]

On a semi-related note, Arc System now owns the Double Dragon and Kunio-kun trademarks.

This is cool. It'd be interesting if they did a Hard Corps: Uprising take on Double Dragon or River City Ransom.

Better yet, they should have bought the rights to Contra.

[LEGENOARYNINLIA]

In an ideal world Arc Sys would make a spiritual sequel to their Hokuto No Ken fighting game using the Double Dragon setting. It would be crazy.

No, it's a new game based off Robot Chicken!

Why am I not surprised edition.

I.. don't even know guys
This is like super-stylized 3D instead of boring ass realistic 3D. They almost look like super high-res 2D.
And for those who say it looks like SFIV, you need a new pair of glasses.

The artstyle is completely different. Literally the only same-looking thing here are the character designs and the game being 3D.

Look at this beauty

Feel free to show me better looking stuff though. I'm really curious, if you think that this looks bad
Style > realism. Why are the Japs the only developers who get it.
Is this more like your thing, guys?
Is this forum literally filled with fathers stuck in the 80s idea of 'good looking'?

[LEGENOARYNINLIA]

Aaawww...

[LEGENOARYNINLIA]

So apparently some German publication spilled the beans and revealed that Cammy and Birdie are in the game.

Here's the link: https://archive.is/v67bP

Also the "Guilty Gear Xrd looks good" is probably my least favorite meme, as it looks like garbage in motion. Despite the game running in a 3D engine, they couldn't bother adding more frames to the animations.

but it's supposed to look like an anime!

Why don't more developers use that excuse. It seems pretty effective

DOA looks better.

Ok you're trolling.

[LEGENOARYNINLIA]

Now now...

[Cagar]

How original and funny :^)

[BulletMagnet]

Seems Roy might be back in Smash, and so is...Ryu?

[KAI]

they couldn't bother adding more frames to the animations.

They did that on purpose tho...


Ryu on Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS

So SB was a FG after all.

[Squire Grooktook]

Definitely looks better that way.

Xrd looks a bit less impressive in person iirc, but it still looks damn good.

[Skykid]

SFIV never really looked 'good', it was just a style that sort of blended eastern and western design attributes to a functional effect.

V looks largely similar to me.

There's a perfectly valid argument for DOA looking superior in some ways, but I'd much rather play SFIV.

It literally is! Dad party!

[system11]

Ok you're trolling.

The muscles look ugly and plastic in the new SFV footage - in that fight you linked earlier look at the guys arms during his victory pose at the end. It's high quality but ugly.

DOA5 LR isn't just high quality, it's also attractive.

On a semi-related note, Arc System now owns the Double Dragon and Kunio-kun trademarks.

Glad to see that Technos' IPs are finally out of Million's grubby paws. They were notorious for whoring out Double Dragon with no oversight to absolutely anyone who handed them enough cash, which enabled projects like the abysmal Chinese-developed X360 remake of DDII and WayForward's comparably awful DD Neon.

Meanwhile, Evoga was unable to secure the Double Dragon license for Rage of the Dragons, a game that actually deserved it.

[BulletMagnet]

Totally and not-at-all-accidentally called it!

[LEGENOARYNINLIA]

Finally a screenshot from the upcoming Clay Fighter remake!

Spoiler

[Pretas]

I can't even tell whether Birdie's gone back to being a white guy in that lighting. Maybe he caught the skin-lightening disease referenced in his Zero 3 win quote again.

[Blinge]

Bravely Belligerent Batshit Blinge's Battle of Blazblue Brawls

.. My best online match.

Koihime†Enbu coming to PS3/4
Not sure about this one, but the prequel was godawful.

Next EXVS entry soon?

[BulletMagnet]

Gamestop seems to suggest that the US Dengeki Bunko release will be in late August.

Make your bets.

[Pretas]

Confirmed to be Battle Fantasia by people who analyzed the image.

Don't expect a PC version of Xrd for years, and even then it's going to be one iteration behind.
