Who else in here loves to play some fighting games? I'm so into fighting games, even if I'm only mostly average at them. I've been playing them for so long that I think it's probably one of the first genres I ever experienced besides platformers and puzzle games!
I own so many fighting games across my various systems that it's absurd. I'm mainly a 2D Fighting Game player but sometimes I'll play a 3D fighter. It's mostly a personal preference since I can focus better when it's just an X and Y axis. Add in Z for me to worry about and hoo boy.
I never really got too much experience playing in the arcades but thanks to the Internet (and if a company implements good netcode... Please just use GGPO for everything, I beg of you.) I can now just play matches with friends over the Internet either the game's built in online mode or even using something like FightCade! Thankfully I have literally everything I need to get to playing on really anything these days. I have a computer now that can handle most games coming out in the past and present (maybe even future!) If people play on Console or PC, lemme know! We can get a few casual fights in!
Guilty Gear is probably my favorite series of all time and I've played it religiously for so many years now. I love it so much and each new game just makes me more excited!! ArcSys really knows how to get a good fighting game put together. Rev2 is probably the most fun I've had with the series since AC+R and I'm just patiently waiting until I get my hands on Strive and go absolutely wild. (Playing the beta recently was such a blast, even if that lobby system needs to GO.)
You can find me playing these games at any time:
Guilty Gear Xrd Rev2 (PS4 or Steam) Garou: Mark of the Wolves (PS4) Granblue Fantasy Versus (PS4) Guilty Gear XX Accent Core+R (PS3 or Steam) Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st] (Steam) MELTY BLOOD Actress Again Current Code (Steam) The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match (Steam) The King of Fighters XIII (Steam) Killer Instinct (Steam)
What games do you all play? Have any history with the genre? I'd love to hear what people play, how they engage and maybe even make a few likeminded friends!
