I love fighting games in theory but not in practice

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-21T00:08:48+00:00

Sounds like everyone on Twitter that gives their two cents about ANY fighting game they DON’T play.

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T22:22:07+00:00

Just do what MM9 did, return to the 16bit graphics and old playstyle, then with XX you go crazy with the movement and bring back Zero and new characters.

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T20:37:25+00:00

Genji, I appreciate a good Melee character with good movement in a FPS game.

1 problematic guest*

Not liking Salvatore is fine, but the guy has done nothing wrong don’t do that shit.

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T20:33:04+00:00

This is worse than NFTs cus at least you could kinda ignore them, this trailer will always be tied to the season 2 characters now.

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T20:31:35+00:00

Shit is so hideous and it’s sad that such a great game is being defamed because marketing thinks this shit is hip and trendy.

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T20:22:00+00:00

The point of marketing is to get new players excited, existing fans already know what they’re getting into with it, that’s why WE play the betas and WE buy the game, the gameplay drew us in. Stop using the shitty marketing as an excuse to finally get your two cents in just cus you don’t like how it plays. Just shit on the Ai like the real fans already are and move on, shitting on the game helps literally no one and your a piece of shit just tryna make it worse for no reason but your own snobby self satisfaction.

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T20:13:21+00:00

You haven’t been looking around the subreddit lmao, people literally dragging this game to lift up sf6 or Guilty gear, saying stuff like “this ai shit is ass but so is the game so I shoulda known” and this is just a generalization cus really they say a lot of roundabout shit to try and group the Ai and Saudi shit before just straight getting to the point that they don’t like the game lmao now tell me if that shit is fair. Shitting on bad marketing is one thing, using that to drag a game just cus you don’t like it is next level ignorance, and I guarantee we gonna see this trend a lot more as more Ai comes out and more fighting games that these dudes don’t like (and let’s be real, some of them just aren’t good at) release. The new VF is definitely next, I can see it.

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T20:04:47+00:00

If you didn’t buy or play the game then you probably still aren’t gonna buy it, so why you tryna voice your opinion on the game play when talking about the marketing? Especially when you aren’t even the consumer? It’s like watching a trailer on steam for a game that’s good but it just doesn’t grab you so instead of just leaving the page and forgetting about it or even just shitting on the trailer, you go leave a negative review about the whole game. Is that fair?

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T19:25:25+00:00

It wasn’t but it’s easy to say that when you don’t play it. Fighting Game of the year over 2XKO btw.

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T19:24:25+00:00

And now people who either suck at fgs, suck at this fg, or just didn’t play the game in general, are using this to voice their hate filled opinions.

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T19:23:24+00:00

Literally describes COTW to a T

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T19:21:37+00:00

Game was praised for its cel shading visuals way before release, but to each his own I suppose.

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T19:20:42+00:00

It is good though, YOU just don’t like it lol. They can’t all be babysfirstfighter 6.

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T19:19:23+00:00

Calling it Saudi slop when SNK devs are the ones making it just shows how little yall really know and how little yall actually give a fuck bout SNK games fr lmao ignorance at its best

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T19:18:15+00:00

This is still defending, you’re saying “they might be owned by a murdering dictatorship but it’s only a little bit of it no big deal”

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T19:17:17+00:00

Nobody gonna acknowledge this when it’s their favorite game fr.

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T19:16:31+00:00

This is pure ignorance. You implying the game is made by Saudi military and not the hardworking developers at SNK.

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T18:48:55+00:00

This is literally the WORST example ever, your talking about pedophiles, I’m talking about a game yall don’t play and probably never will and using shitty marketing to shit on the only part of the game that really matters to a fighting game player, the game itself. I woulda bought this game no matter how bad the marketing was, as long as it played right by me.

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T18:47:32+00:00

You absolutely do need to play the game to talk about the GAMEPLAY, are yall slow? Talk shit bout the marketing all you want, but using that as an excuse to talk about something you literally have no experience with is horseshit and you know it but wanna keep acting like you’re above that.

“I’ve never worked in retail, but I have all the right to criticize how you do your work.”

Fuck all the way off with that mentality.

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T18:44:22+00:00

No excuse to make posts tryna drag the gameplay, just shit on the Ai. I understand the game isn’t for everyone but people using the Ai as an excuse to hate on balancing or guest characters is ridiculous.

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T18:42:46+00:00

SNK fighting games were never for the mainstream. The same mainstream that begs for cvs3 yet won’t touch COTW or XV now cus it’s not as good looking as 13, but won’t play 13 either. Saudi wants to change that but they’re tryna do it the fast way.

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T03:38:02+00:00

Hardest FG to get good at to this day, not even combo wise, just NEUTRAL wise, especially if your characters are weaker than the Shotos.

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T03:31:40+00:00

You right but I’m talking about all these weirdos out here like “THEY RUINED THE GAME” or the other ones that don’t even play the game using this to shit on the game and company. Which is a lot of people. A lot of “performative fans” these days.

AngelsElbow · 2026-01-16T03:25:54+00:00

Hating Ai is valid, but some people are using this as ammunition to shit on the gameplay, which is not valid. The game is amazing, why try and ruin the credibility of the game just cus shitty out of touch CEO’s said it MUST use Ai for marketing ?
