Fighting Games Congregate

**FF_rules** · 01-23-2015, 03:34 PM

I couldn't find a generalized chat for Fighting Games in this forum, only random posts with 1 or 2 responses, so I decided to make one for myself. Topic of conference: Fighting Games, finding people to play with on the forums, upcoming EVO 2015, etc.

Tags: FGC , Street Fighter , BlazBlue , BB , Guilty Gear , GG Xrd , Tekken , Skull Girls , Persona Arena , P4AU , Under Night In Birth , UNIEL , Super Smash Bros 4 / melee , MvC , Mahvel , Marvel vs Capcom , Mortal Kombat , (Anything else I should add just tell me)

This thread could be cool. I'm going to EVO2015. It should be awesome, plus it's pretty cool that it's in Las Vegas. should be super fun. Hopefully I place high.

My games of choice are Tekken Tag 2 and Ultra Street Fighter 4.

Here's the EVO2015 lineup of fighting games. EVO2015 is July 17-19.

**Poison-** · 01-25-2015, 10:53 AM

Melee

**_Zenith_** · 01-25-2015, 10:58 AM

The only four fighting games I'll ever touch is:

Gamecube/Wii, Super Smash Bros Melee

Xbox 360/PS3, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Mortal Kombat

Oh, I also have a Streetfighting game on the PS2 called Def Jam: Fight for NY and that game is amazing.

Shamo0 · 01-25-2015, 11:02 AM

They need to make a new Def Jam with new rappers like Meek Mill that shit would be so awesome.

Also if anyone is wondering EVO is like the biggest competitive thing since MLG.
EVO's Official Homepage

Most events like EVO are getting streamed via Twitch.tv just incase you can't make it in person. The next big upcoming Fighting game tournament event is called Apex and that's happening at the end of the month in New Jersey, however registration is already closed.

Also the fighting game community has been calling itself the FGC.

After Icon, I do not want Def Jam to make another game because Icon massacred the series.

It would be cool will more upcoming people, but still

What?

**ItsOnlyDanO** · 01-25-2015, 01:47 PM

I play a few fighting games but I'm generally not very good at them. I play:
Soul Calibur V (Cervantes)
Tekken6/Tag2 (Kazuya & Bob/Miguel)
UMvC3 (Nova is the only character I really know how to use, whoever else I use on team i'm horrible with)
SSFIV:AE (Balrog/Bison/Oni/Sagat, and I haven't really had an incentive to upgrade to ultra since I don't really know many people that own it)

Also i'm pretty hyped for tekken 7, trying to convnice the guy who runs the gaming society at my university to hold a tournament once it comes out

Dream big or go home; I like it. I have a few friends in my regular skype group who are planning to go and wreck people in GG/P4A and I think one of them is a regular Melee vet (Who I believe is trying to talk the other Melee vet into joining him).

I play at the casual level so it's whatever; If you want to body me in SF on PS3 send me a PM =p

I'll explain clearer. EVO short for Evolution is a yearly event that involves high levels of fighting game tournament gameplay from competitors around the world. MLG short for Major League Gaming is a league where gaming competitions take place. EVO and MLG are similar but still different because EVO is not a league.

That's the newest one? Nope haven't played it yet.
Been thinking about getting it on ps4 but meh..have been in a console gaming slump recently.

**Red Blaster** · 01-25-2015, 03:21 PM

Infinite looping is such bs.

Zato has one too with drills doesn't he? I got mines when the JP release first came out since I wasn't about waiting for the port release. I mainly use ramlethal so enjoy blocking low/high's like a standard fighting game and not worrying about anime unblockables lol.

Shamo0 · 01-25-2015, 03:30 PM

My Tekken Tag 2 team is Asuka and Lili. Heres a tournament match that I was in in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. It was an online based tournament over at a forum called NeoGaf.

How good is the community there? I don't use NeoGaf/Reddit/etc so I wouldn't know.

My Tekken Tag (1) team was Jin Jun.
