It was originally released as ポケットファイター (Pocket Fighter) in Japanese arcades, as well as for all console releases. It was only ever called Super Gem Fighter: Mini Mix in North American and European arcade releases.Mortificator wrote:I like the game, but (irrationally?) hate the localized arcade title.

There was a time, in the era of great chaos, when the Earth and the moon were at war with each other. A daredevil from the moon piloted a bizarre aircraft. It was feared, and because of its shape, called... Einhander.

BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle is like $5 on Switch right now.
I'll let you all know how I feel about it in 4 years when I get my diploma for graduating from the tutorial.

Re: Fighting Game Hype Thread
What are everyone's favorite fighters to play in the absence of fightcade or physical friends?
I haven't played too many, but mine is probably Street Fighter Alpha 3. I played the PS1 port. But I heard the Saturn port might be better for various reasons, and that the PSP port is the most content rich.
I also really enjoyed the DOS game One Must Fall 2097 when I was much younger. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's considered shit by people more experienced with the genre.
Also not sure if the Smash Bros games fit here but I probably played 100s of hours of SSBM too. Lots of fun challenges in that one.
Your picks?

One must fall was the bomb back then
I think it had online as well
Miss that game
Re: Fighting Game Hype Thread
I got KOF2002UM, GGAC+R, UNICLR and BBCF for xmas on steam. Going back to fgs is pure suffering.
Hope they can rollback bb and unib soon. Reviving AC was the biggest FG achievment of the decade.

Patches seem to come out faster than I can learn of the new changes
Take for example Smash Ultimate has over 70 characters and constant patches
How does one learn the game when there's so many matchups to learn on top of constant changes to the mechanics
Its just too much
I miss the days when 16 characters was the Max roster lol
That or there were no constant patches

The great thing I noticed is a lot of the older fighters are making a come back now that there are no in person tournaments

How is it that Capcom released four Marvel games on Saturn and never managed to come up with a single training mode?

Re: Fighting Game Hype Thread
Trying to pick up Tekken again, this time making an attempt to learn Bryan Fury.
Would be nice if the game listed counter hit properties for moves so I didn't have to look them up
Would like to try and get into a 2d fighter, ideally one that has a pc playerbase. I guess something old and something new. Eyeballing KOF 2002 um for that something old, maybe Strive will be that something new?
Using a Crown 309mj at the moment, my first korean lever, and it feels quite natural with Tekken. Felt decent with other fighting games as well.
Seimitsu seems to be releasing a Tekken specialty joystick they're calling the LSX-NOBI-01 in March as a collaboration with some famous Tekken player, which has happened before with some Korean lever manufacturers. Not really sure what kind of characteristics it has beyond the bat-top, which seems more oblong and doesn't rotate.

IIRC Seimitsu sticks have less travel, which makes a world of sense for a game based around taps.cave hermit wrote:Seimitsu seems to be releasing a Tekken specialty joystick they're calling the LSX-NOBI-01 in March as a collaboration with some famous Tekken player, which has happened before with some Korean lever manufacturers.

Re: Fighting Game Hype Thread
Finally getting to know Guilty Gear, I'm playing xxac+r to try and get familar with the mechanics ahead of Strive's release. Went with Ky, he seemed like a very straightforward character to learn the basics with, haven't learned any real combos beyond p->p->k->s->s yet though, but I feel like I'm finally grasping the basics of the game. At least enough to beat Blinge, but not enough to beat anyone in matchmaking.
Re: Fighting Game Hype Thread
Ky is low damage but very good at being annoying. Always go for knockdown, do the big fireball and then some weird shit to try to get another knockdown, repeat.
I don't know how much of AC+R will carry over onto Strive because I haven't been paying attention to it at all, but the main things to think about will be blocking (at least being aware of what faultless and instant blocks do), using jump cancels/low airdashes, using tension sensibly, and knowing when to burst so it doesn't whiff/get baited.

Re: Fighting Game Hype Thread
pick a different char asap, ky is shit, get cornered and you are basically dead, and all his high damage combos are a pain in the ass to pull off.cave hermit wrote:Went with Ky
if not, try learning how the dp into wallsplat/bounce works, how to mixup fast, and try practicing the 2D into lightning sphere.

How much meter does it cost to throw me under the bus like that?
I can't even do a gatling combo, fuck this I'm dropping I-no. but I refuse to pick sol or ky.

responding to posts from jan lol:
The thing with smash melee is the fans themselves added rollback to it in dolphin emulator, so online melee matches are now better than most fighting games that ever existed. And you don't have to worry about stinky melee players from the comfort of your own home!
Laugh, or cry.
