Hello lemmy gamers! Curious who’s around here – anybody play fighting games?

I’m mostly into Tekken (and play it competitively), but I’ll dabble in most fighting games here and again. Would it be reasonable to have a community specifically for the FGC around here?

    I’m sure lemmy will get enough members to make more niche communities eventually. I’m a fan of the netherrealm games myself like mortal Kombat and injustice.

    I think they’re fun, but I am terrible at any kind of competitive play. I just occasionally hang out in FightCade to watch SSF2T matches.

    Always wanted to but never really clicked with any fighting games that I picked up. Gonna try SF6 soon and see if that changes things! I liked Modern controls more than I thought I would.

    I’m really into fighting games, and they’re basically all I play now. Since SF6 came out, it’s basically my main game now.

    Been playing them since SF2. I hope more of the FGC comes over!

    I was pretty good at SSBU, but probably haven’t played in two years though. I’d join an FGC if there’s one in the future!

    Hello lemmy gamers! Curious who’s around here – anybody play fighting games?

    Yes! I play mostly Guilty Gear Strive (although my favourite GG is Accent Core +R, closely followed by Xrd Rev 2) and now, Street Fighter 6. I’ve also dabbled in Tekken, King of Fighters, BlazBlue and a little bit of Soul Calibur 6.

    I’m not very good at them but I’m always up for some games. I just love the overall design and mechanics of fighting games. Oh, and combos. I’m one of those weirdos that likes to spend hours in the lab practicing combos instead of going online.

    My mains, if anyone cares to know:

    • Guilty Gear (all of them): Millia Rage
    • Street Fighter 6: Cammy
    • BlazBlue Central Fiction: Kokonoe
    • Tekken 7: Lidia
    • King of Fighters XV: Joe, Vanessa, Luong
    • Soul Calibur 6: 2B

    I’m mostly into Tekken (and play it competitively), but I’ll dabble in most fighting games here and again. Would it be reasonable to have a community specifically for the FGC around here?

    I guess if it gets big enough here, sure, it warrants its own community. For now, I think it’s fine if a few posts show up in this uhh…sublemmy?

        I didn’t visit Kappachino much, to be honest. But it was really useful if you wanted to get information on ongoing and/or upcoming tournaments. Still, it’s nice to know someone there’s a Fediverse version out there.

    I’ve dabbled off and on over the years. A little Street Fighter, a little Guilty Gear mostly. Currently don’t have anywhere to keep a fight stick out, so haven’t really been into it for a while. :(

    Not my favorite genre, but I do like Tekken, Dead or Alive, Soul Calibre, Virtua Fighter, Battle Arena Toshinden, Fighting Vipers, World Heroes. Mostly I am attracted to a game for cool characters and fighting styles more than the actual fighting, if that makes any sense. Oh, does Virtual On count? 😋

      I feel this, and I actually feel a little bit petty realizing that SF6 doesn’t have any fighters or attacks that seem visually interesting to me. It seems to be doing so many other things so well that it’s a strange sticking point.

    I’ve played a lot of games off and on over the years, but my main two are Skullgirls (Val/Robo/Para) and Them’s Fightin’ Herds (Velvet).

    I’ve gone ahead and made https://kbin.social/m/fgc here, get the ball rolling on that.

    I quite like playing SSBU! I go to my locals whenever I get the chance, though I’m still going 0-2. I’ve dabbled in Guilty Gear Strive, and with the current zeitgeist around SF6 I’m considering giving that a go as well.

    If anyone else is into Smash Bros games, check out !smashbros@lemmy.world! I just started it today.

      They really do require a certain sort of attitude, you have to be okay with getting your shit kicked in 342 times before squeaking out a win. Although good matchmaking helps alleviate this a bit.

      It’s hard to get into them if you don’t have a friend there to explain things and help you. The guy who taught me how to play and got me started was like super diamond in SF5 and beat me with almost any character in any game. I beat his main team in Dragonball FighterZ once and it was the highlight of me playing lol.

    Yesterdey I tried Tekken 7 on ps plus. Last time I played Tekken was back in the ps1 with Tekken 2. I really liked it, it remind me my afternoons being scared of yoshimitsu. If the community is created, I’m down!
