It's blog time. Not gonna make it anything big though. Just want to casually talk about fighting games.

So I grew up with fighting games in general. Been there since all the SNES weird fighting games, golden age PS one fighting games, dark age of them, and now it's like fighting game as a genre has been receiving back its glory, to me at least.

Been playing Mortal Kombat 11 lately (Kung Lao main here). Still hop back in Tekken 7 online once in a while (Leo main there), being super excited about upcoming Granblue Fantasy Versus with that latest Daigo VS Fuudo beta matches, Samurai Shodown dropping the best preorder bonus in fighting game history, DBFZ, SC6, hearing about UNIIST being in EVO, and even with Smash Ultimate which I haven't played a Smash game since the Wii.

Just so much good stuff for a fighting game fan this year. 2019 is looking to be the best year for fighting game fan in the last decade.

And I'm aware I'm not the only one around. Seems like a good chunk of you guys are a big FGC too judging from the amount of votes on fighting game characters on the poll at least and I'm glad it is being this way. I love fighting games even though I'm not that good at them.

So what have you guys been playing in term of fighting game or anything related? Any upcoming news you're excited about? Please leave a comment, cuz I'm thrilled to talk about it with you in the replies.

It could be hentai related too if you want to talk about that because hey, that's what we do around here. 

Also this is the Daigo vs Fuudo in GBFV I mentioned. Highly recommend checking this out. This game is looking to be really good so far. There is auto combo in there but it's nothing crazy like auto combos in DBFZ. They look to be just LMH>Special in this game and there is a single button special but by using easy special button it has longer cooldown so casuals can enjoy the game without interrupting pro players at all. This could be the smartest approach to fighting game accessibility I've ever seen yet >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bbR3_20-_E&t=1s

I’ve been playing Smash Bros ever since N64 and when I was in school the local hockey rink had a street fighter 2 cabinet so I played that sometimes. I’ve played a bit of Street Fighter 4 and every once in a while I’ll try a random fighting game that gets my interest. I’m not really very good at fighting games, but I still play them every now and then.

I only play blazblue,unist,melty,g gear and sf5 casually from time to time,nothing beat a feeling of being able to pull off some anime-ass come back in fighting game.

Recently got back into DBFZ but I've maybe been grinding Guilty Gear. I'm excited for GBVS too! It looks so good! The cooldown system is really interesting to me and for some moves for cooldown is basically a non factor if you do the motion instead. I'm really hyped and we should play sometime when it comes out :)

Tekken was my fighting game growing up. Tekken 7 disappointed me a lot. I avidly followed the story, then they decided to make lazy 15 sec endings for non-Mishima clan characters that had nothing to do with anything. I guess now the best thing about fighting games for me are the girls that come from them.

I love fighting games, generally speaking. Mostly Eastern ones. Blazblue, Gulity Gear, Arcana Heart, Soul Calibur, Dragonball FighterZ, Under Night, and Smash Bros are all games franchises I’ve greatly enjoyed. The new Granblue just straight up looks amazing (although if I don’t see a female Draph soon Arc is getting a letter xD).

You ever tried a game called Lethal League or Lethal League: Blaze? Its basically a mix of pong, super smash bros and pong. Even though that concept sounds weird, its somehow perfected so well.

Fighting games are something I have great respect for, and enjoy watching immensely, but I never got into them past button mashing when I was young. Learning to play them now seems like such a daunting task, so many hours of practice just to get some fundamentals under your belt. I just don't have that kind of dedication for video games anymore, which makes me a little sad.

Used to play a loooot of fighting games back when I was in school. Soul Calibur, Last Blade, Rival Schools, Street Fighter, Power Stone, Street Fighter, Samurai Shodown, Mace: The Dark Age, Waku Waku 7, Tekken, Dead or Alive, and a few others. Going to the arcade in the 90's meant a lot of fighting games, so it was exciting going from there to having them at home on the SNES, PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, and Neo Geo. And exciting visiting video game hentai boards on my parents dial-up. XD Unfortunately, these days, I do all my gaming on PC and handheld (3DS). And the fighting game genre is kinda limited... Got SF4 and 5 on Steam, but it's just not the same as it used to be. On the flip side, the fighting game hentai is better than it used to be. And it takes much less time to get to (Chun Li and Mai are still hawt, even after decades).

I'm in the same clan of people who sucks at fighting games but enjoy the hell out of it. And we already talked about this so you already know I'm an Arksys fanboy. But yeah, I actually started playing fighting games pretty late but when I was but a young lass, I still remember going to arcades (I fucking miss arcades) and being super impressed and full of wonder, just looking at people playing Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2, then immediately trying these games and getting wrecked in seconds by the computer. So for me, people playing these games were simply amazing. I guess my first REAL fighting game was Soul Calibur 2 for the Gamecube, though I remember playing somme Killer Instinct on the N64 at my cousin's house. Then I got into Street Fighter IV, was still terrible at it, gave up and it, then I got curious about trying Blazblue after I saw two videos on Youtube. First was a ''TOP 10 MANLY CHARACTERS IN GAMING'' (I had shit tastes in youtube Channels back in the days. I mean shit, these guys made a debate show à la Death Battle and actually argued Mega Man couldn't win against Revolver Ocelot because he can only move in a 2D space) and they mentionned Bang Shishigami. Then, my interest was picked again when Death Battle made an episode featuring Taokaka and I decided to pick the game up and it has consummed my soul ever since. So TL;DR without my boring life story: Dem games be hype as shit, yo. Also I'm super hyped about Granblue Versus. LADIVA IS SO FABULOUS

I played the crap out of 'em. Mostly single player, though. I'm one of these weird people that loves a good story in a fighting game. Buuut to each its own. Most of my fighting game-loving friends actually hate sprite-based fighting games like BB so I can get why. Jojo fighting game on PS1... Is that the one where Pet Shop is an OP bastard?

I have been playing a lot of fighting games in my life, like Tekken, Soul Calibur, Bushido Blade, Bloody Road, WakuWaku 7, Guilty Gear, BlazBlue, Persona Arena and Dead Or Alive. I would like to play them sometimes but fighting online is impossible. People are too good, I am in mostly for the waifus XD I saw an advertisement for a BlazBlue fighting games by Arc and it looks really good. I am waiting for that adn Kill La Kill
