I like their netcode a lot. It feels like fighting games are finally getting on the same level as shooters etc in that regard. Now all we need is crossplay since most fighting games have smaller communities to begin with. That'd be cool to see outside of, y'know, Brawlhalla (which coincidentally also has rollback and crossplay, next to being free)
@@o_oro-q1k he means in popularity with the casuals. DBFZ and Strive are probably the most popular (or well known) current fighting games with the casual market right now. Obviously that’s due to its marketing and also its aesthetic, it with DBFZ, well its dragon ball
@@pian-0g445 uhhh,no. Smash is currently number 1. Its the highest of all-time with 24 million. Tekken/DBFZ are pretty much around the same(Tekken 7mil and DB 6mil).
If you didn’t really understand the rollback explanation, then core a gaming as a really good explanation for it, along with a bunch of other really strong fg guides
I’m glad I’m getting back into fighting games, I stopped really caring for them after mkx, but I’ve been getting back into them in part due to squirrel’s videos, so thank you
I never really played fighting games when I was younger. I had the old MK trilogy on PlayStation, but I only messed about on it, sometimes playing the towers, or mashing buttons against my sister. It was fun, but I never really felt a pull to play more of the genre. That changed when FighterZ got announced. A few years before, a friend had recommended the series to me and it got me into anime. It's strange to think that if I hadn't liked Dragon Ball, I probably wouldn't have got into traditional 2D fighters. Now I love all sorts of fighting games, even if I suck at them, and I feel like they've helped me manage my salt (I used to be kind of whiny, I could be a sore loser). I love fighting games, I love learning how to play them, and I love competing against other players. The rush of conquering a tough opponent, the satisfaction of finally learning to do that one cool combo I saw on TH-cam once, or just the fun of hooking up a second controller and playing against my friends. I'm so glad that I got into fighting games.
I know this is an older video, and I am about to suggest an even OLDER game, but I do think Killer Instinct does deserve to get a mention. The combo system is REALLY easy to understand. Combo Breakers and Counter Breakers offer some interaction when the player is being comboed. The game has a PRETTY big tutorial, possibly better than skullgirls even. From what I heard, the online is decent too, although, personally I definitely notice some lag still unfortunately, but that might be on my end instead? Also, the game does have a sort of demo version on the microsoft store and xbox, which from my understanding has Jago and another rotating character for free-to-play. Or pay $30 for the definitive version on Microsoft store, Xbox, or Steam and have access to all the characters. Or just pay a certain amount for a specific character you like. Another thing I heard is that apparently the microsoft/xbox version is prefered over the steam version due rank reasons? I am not sure. Regardless I do think it is worth check out at least.
Been playing Skullgirls again and it's been amazing! I'll try out GG Strive, KOF 15, and Melty Blood Type Lumina soon. I'll also try out GG Rev 2 and play BBCF, UNIB, and GG+R as they are also great as well. Super happy I got into FG's as they are just so good and it's 100% worth trying if you haven't played any.
There's also KOF 2002 Unlimited Match too that also has rollback netcode too. And other classic/retro SNK FGs like Garou Mark of the Wolves Samurai Shodown 5 Special The Last Blade 2 Those games have rollback and are at a solid price on PS4 and Steam Edit: KOF 2002UM is on both PS4&Steam and KOF 98 Ultimate Match Final Edition will be having rollback netcode and is having a Beta test at the moment today.
I've always found Fighting games kinda boring since I don't have anyone to play with, but when I watched the DB FighterZ Gogeta Ssj4 trailer that popped in my recommended It caught my interest, and started watching more and more videos about it and I got invested. Since it's my first FG It's really hard to get used to the mechanics, but the feeling of improvement feels awesome and makes me wanna keep practicing and aim to be as good as I can get. Also the game is so stylish it feels wrong not to try it out
I've played some fighting games through the years but I could never get the handle on fundamentals and terminology. But this video was very inspiring. Thank you :)
No mention of Type Lumina in the New Games section? As someone who sorta got into anime fighters (and fighters in general) off the back of Skullgirls and French Bread games I really feel like they're some of the best to see if you like the genre imo french bread's open ended combo system makes you feel sick for getting any hit because you just have to hit another button to start a combo, and that ease of approach really made me want to explore and understand new routes, and it really helped me want to understand the genre as a whole. yeah GG had* gatlings but those still felt sorta restrictive, especially coming from the games that created Rebeat Loved the video though!
I'm going to be honest I just completely forgot that they were making a new melty blood, it's been a franchise I always thought looked cool so I'm hyped that they're making a new one with rollback built in, I'll probably make some videos around it's release if I enjoy it enough :p
I love your content and how you make it so much and it’s so beginner friendly and helpful. I’ll be using to help a friend or two try some other fighting games than smash 👍🏼
I think Battle for the Grid is the best game for fighting games beginners and I would recommend it. I know games like fantasy strike are simpler but Power Rangers is simple and complex at the same time while being the most fun fighting game I have ever played
The main reason why I don't play as much as I'd like is because my friends aren't interested, and I don't have the time to sit down to try tournament play. Ranked feels like it's just there to make me angry, but it's like the only thing I do nowadays :/
Dropping in to algorithm it up, and say that there are a billion free and abandonware fighting games online. Find a community, ask for help, keep playing and analyzing your and others' play. Most importantly, have fun.
I was just thinking about the future of Fighting Games and then this popped up in my recommended, my best predictions for the main franchises are: Guilty Gear Strive: 2021 Dragon Ball Fighter 2: 2022 Street Fighter VI: 2023 Tekken 8: 2023 Mortal Kombat XII: 2023
I'll give a try again when Type Lumina comes out since it's French Bread and UNI is the only 2D anime fighter that I give a damn personally. I really don't like how GG works in general and I find Strive too simple even if it's suppose to be beginner friendly, sorry.
You mentioned a tournament that you commentated recently. I tried to find it online, but Google didn’t seem to return anything. Any help on where I can catch the next Gluemageddon tourney?
th-cam.com/video/jHObndIYTDQ/w-d-xo.html here is the links to the vod, I'm not sure when he's doing another one but I will let everyone know when it occurs
Mortal Kombat XII will come out in 2023, you can quote this if you want. A New Mortal Kombat Game comes out every 4 years: Mortal Kombat IX: 2011 Mortal Kombat X: 2015 Mortal Kombat XI: 2019
i got guilty gear strive last year cause its the best looking visually fighting game ive seen, dropped it for a while cause it was so complicated, but ngl when they announced Testament i was immediately sucked back in. its cool that they added a canon nonbinary character.
I have no friends lol I have never played a Guilty Gear game but Strive looks beautiful af. I would play it just to look at it while I suck at playing probably xD
Using SFII and Third Strike as examples of the changes between sequels is weird because SFIII isn't a sequel to SFII, it's a sequel to SF Alpha. It's like comparing MK11 with MK9.
@F R O S T Y X take your time dude it isn’t very hard once you get it into your muscle memory, and one tip is don’t use the combo challenge as a source for good combos just look up a guide or something.
I tried to get into GG Strife, sadly i was now face to face with empty floors so no opponents on my current player level, park is terrible too , everyone and there mother only plays the same 3 chars i have the feeling, because they are "meta", and i rly dont get a chance to learn something. The tutorial is garbage at best. Sure you can maybe learn from high level/ranked players, but why should i bother with strife when i can play a good game instead?
Why do fighting gamers want more people to join in? I get the impression that I just gave up too early or I can't take losses. Ive tried on and off for 29 years. I've bought at least 15 fighting games. I still don't like them enough. Its just not interesting enough to keep me going for the 1000 hours to become competent, in each game. I really believe I'm not a fighter. The closest I've ever gotten is tekken. I got to ok levels in tekken tag 2. Since then it's not happened to get me hooked. I will agree this is the only genre of gaming seeking interaction from new players. That is an interesting question.
Why would people not want people to play their games? Imagine whatever multi-player only game you play but without players and imagine how much fun that would be.
@@TheCosmicUprise I don't play online multiplayer. So I wouldn't have an opinion. My point was fighting games require two fighters. Most people don't want to play a computer opponent. That's my impression.
@@JO-iv7tl yes, exactly. That is why we want more people to get into them, the more people the better, as that is more people to fight against and play with. More popularity also means devs can put more resources into making fighting games.
SF: You are an execution junkie, living in the past with a ton of out of date mechanics. GG: You love anime, and you want the best netcode Tekken: You are an elitist, who thinks their farts are better than air. Easy to get into, the hardest to git gud. Get ready to learn a lexicon worth of info/numbers. MK: You want the best production value, you don't care that the gameplay if full of holes. +Ninjas KoF:??? It will be new? (seriously, please someone educate me why would you ever wanted to touch it over SF or GG) DBZ: You love DBZ. You hate being forced to play 1 character at a time, a small netcode issue never bothered you. All with one similarly: If you can't git gud, there is always DLC.
Me and fighting games had a falling out after the switch to online focused play. Seems like every lobby you get into always has that one player who has 200+ hours on one character and only spams that character cause it has a cheese combo or ability that roflstomps 90% of the roster. I just got tired of being forced to play certain characters to counter em or lose and the only other option was being bored against the comp.
SoulCalibur and DOA my comfort picks. Unfortunately, I've been trying to learn motion inputs for 20 years and just can't do it. So if I play a 2D fighter, I play on keyboard and use macros for my specials. BuT tHaT's ChEaTiNg!!1!1 Do you want me to play these games or not? 'Cause playing a game without literally half of my character's kit results in me spending my entire match stuffed into a corner. Fun for you, not for me, and the point of these games is to have fun yes? I never play ranked. Usually only with friends. And still y'all whine. Do you want me in your community or not? All I did was find a way to make these games accessible to me and not be automatically gated out of the game due to motion inputs.
Motion inputs exist for a reason outside of just making things needlessly difficult. I don't really care enough or have the proper articulation to explain it in detail but you can look into it if you care at all. Best example is forward inputs can't be done while blocking which is intentional, and back inputs can, which is also intentional. Having 1 button removes that level of strategy/character variety.
Wait what in the beginning of your video when you mentioned MK11 and it might be over, you sounded surprised that NRS games only last two years. Yeah actually by now NRS would have already announced their next fighting game, I just thought it was funny that you sounded so surprised that NRS games life spans last two years.
Ya know i like fighting games but i also hate fighting games... Why do i hate it? No reason im a fire emblem fan so i like to hate my favorite things you know? Hehehe i want a fire emblem fighting game thats not a platformer lol
yo can we stop making it seem like Motion inputs are this super hard thing to do? people keep conflating this difficulty too much when it isn't any harder than doing any execution based requirement in other games
@@Talking_Ed please tell me how motion inputs are hard. Please tell me some kind of argument that wasnt already debunked. Literally learning any game takes time, especially anything that requires a modicum of skill. How is this any different from fighting games?
@@chenklazer2069 I'm not saying it's not true for all games, I'm saying that getting good at a game takes times, and FG inputs are way harder than, idk, a moba or a shooter input. Clearly there are other things to learn, but the difficulty in FG is 90% input 10% knowledge.
@@Talking_Ed how is it any harder than shooters lol? You really downplaying CSGO or something? Its all subjective. Have you even placed time into them? How do you know that FGs are 90% input 10% knowledge? You really gonna tell me that when complete newbies with little to no experience in FGs are putting their time into Strive?
@@chenklazer2069 I'm saying CSGO is not all input it has more map knowledge, knowing how to peek corners, it's not very hard input wise to put your mouse on someone's head and click. So, imagine it like this, if in CSGO everytime you shoot you had to walk forward, left and down, and click at a specific time or your gun jams lol Also, lot of people are playing Strive, how many of them are playing Strive well after a month? Lol
I recently been getting into fighting games just to get ready for when Riot's Project L comes out cuz im going hard on that baby I've been mostly playing the community edition of Melty blood cuz there basically ain't no F2P fighting games out there and my death wallet is tempting me to use the good old piracy tactic
If you're interested, there's DFCI which is an anime fighting game with recently-added rollback. Just go on the Discord and they'll give you the game for free, we're using the arcade version of the game. There's also Hisoutensoku, one of the Touhou spin-offs. Great game, not very othodox because of weird movements, but awesome overall. Same thing, just go on their Discord if you're interested, game's free.
It’s never a bad time to get into fighting games.
Dad, is that you?
The start of covid was rough ngl
I agree
They are trash and boring after 15 mins

I never play ranked. Usually only with friends. And still y'all whine. Do you want me in your community or not? All I did was find a way to make these games accessible to me and not be automatically gated out of the game due to motion inputs.
Motion inputs exist for a reason outside of just making things needlessly difficult. I don't really care enough or have the proper articulation to explain it in detail but you can look into it if you care at all. Best example is forward inputs can't be done while blocking which is intentional, and back inputs can, which is also intentional. Having 1 button removes that level of strategy/character variety.
Wait what in the beginning of your video when you mentioned MK11 and it might be over, you sounded surprised that NRS games only last two years. Yeah actually by now NRS would have already announced their next fighting game, I just thought it was funny that you sounded so surprised that NRS games life spans last two years.
THis hard
Don't become an Arcsystem fighting game fan on Xbox T_T
Ya know i like fighting games but i also hate fighting games... Why do i hate it? No reason im a fire emblem fan so i like to hate my favorite things you know?
Hehehe i want a fire emblem fighting game thats not a platformer lol
mm what
Well crap, two years too late ig
Fighting Games are for sweaty tryhards that dwell inside their mom's basments 😎 Real chads get a job
Nah is more easy to just play something else
yo can we stop making it seem like Motion inputs are this super hard thing to do? people keep conflating this difficulty too much when it isn't any harder than doing any execution based requirement in other games
It's pretty hard man, you need more time to learn how to play a fighting came than you need to finish playing a normal single player game.
@@Talking_Ed please tell me how motion inputs are hard.
Please tell me some kind of argument that wasnt already debunked. Literally learning any game takes time, especially anything that requires a modicum of skill. How is this any different from fighting games?
@@chenklazer2069 I'm not saying it's not true for all games, I'm saying that getting good at a game takes times, and FG inputs are way harder than, idk, a moba or a shooter input.
Clearly there are other things to learn, but the difficulty in FG is 90% input 10% knowledge.
@@Talking_Ed how is it any harder than shooters lol? You really downplaying CSGO or something? Its all subjective.
Have you even placed time into them? How do you know that FGs are 90% input 10% knowledge? You really gonna tell me that when complete newbies with little to no experience in FGs are putting their time into Strive?
@@chenklazer2069 I'm saying CSGO is not all input it has more map knowledge, knowing how to peek corners, it's not very hard input wise to put your mouse on someone's head and click.
So, imagine it like this, if in CSGO everytime you shoot you had to walk forward, left and down, and click at a specific time or your gun jams lol
Also, lot of people are playing Strive, how many of them are playing Strive well after a month? Lol
No I don't think I will.
Hope you still have fun
If you're going to make a video like this could you do it better? I feel bad thinking that some people were inspired by this shit.
I recently been getting into fighting games just to get ready for when Riot's Project L comes out cuz im going hard on that baby
I've been mostly playing the community edition of Melty blood cuz there basically ain't no F2P fighting games out there and my death wallet is tempting me to use the good old piracy tactic
If you're interested, there's DFCI which is an anime fighting game with recently-added rollback. Just go on the Discord and they'll give you the game for free, we're using the arcade version of the game.
There's also Hisoutensoku, one of the Touhou spin-offs. Great game, not very othodox because of weird movements, but awesome overall. Same thing, just go on their Discord if you're interested, game's free.
Forgot to mention DFCI's a game developed by French-Bread iirc, who already made UNICLR and Melty Blood.
