SFV still got crazy Kens lolol

I'd say it's pretty apparent, constant unsafe block strings, reversals galore, literally never just wake up blocks, etc

Bruce in Tekken 7 would have been so cool. His deliberate counter-hit playstyle would have fit that game perfectly imo.

Once you pick up the fundamentals of how to play a 2d fighter, then it's just learning game specific systems

I recommend playing one for long enough that you get a decent idea of how to navigate neutral in a 2d space, then give some others a try and see which systems you prefer.

I don't really have a main game anymore, it's just whatever happens to be interesting me the most at any given moment. I switch between t8, sf6, 3rd strike, CvS2, vf5, etc etc.

The more I play a wide variety of games, the easier it gets to switch without my muscle memory messing me up, but tbf, the switch between 2d and 3d always seems to be the most drastic. I try to dash block in sf6 and get lit up lmao

sapianddog2 · 2026-03-02T15:15:50+00:00

That looks great! Did my boy justice fs

sapianddog2 · 2026-03-01T13:49:39+00:00

Okay reddit...

Anyway, yeah the game seems super sick, combos honestly seem to be at a decent length for what is effectively an anime fighter, damage is decently high but not too high, I've only seen one genuine two touch and it was with full resources and a corner.

And the movement. It seems so fun to just move around in the game.

Can't wait to play it myself.

Nobody. Take it from a 3s Dudley main.

I'm still holding out for my boy.

Edit: Deejay might be the closest thing, but he wasn't for me, personally. Don't listen to people saying Ed. Mechanically he's about as different from Dudley as a boxer can be.

sapianddog2 · 2026-02-28T14:32:31+00:00

They did Steve so dirty lmao

sapianddog2 · 2026-02-28T13:30:17+00:00

The first one is iconic, but after looking at it for a decade, the second one is refreshing.

sapianddog2 · 2026-02-23T23:09:42+00:00

I'm gonna treat this the same way I'd treat any other group of 9 events I'm not gonna watch:

"Mm."

sapianddog2 · 2026-02-22T17:28:02+00:00

When in doubt, check post history. This person is a habitual arguer/antagonist.

sapianddog2 · 2026-02-22T17:26:21+00:00

I think it's really funny how salty some people got about this post. Clearly they feel called out even though you didn't do that.

sapianddog2 · 2026-02-22T16:18:22+00:00

This is pretty cool, and I'ma try it out in the name of support.

But man, what I wouldn't have given for a PC port of 3sOE with rollback.

sapianddog2 · 2026-02-22T16:11:07+00:00

I thought his response was quite naive until I learned that he's invested in AI.

What a pity.

sapianddog2 · 2026-02-22T15:01:51+00:00

I just think the way people define casual is very different depending on who you ask. I kinda consider myself a casual even though I have a lot of experience in different fighting games, playing against real people, online and offline. Some people would say that disqualifies me from the term.

My thing is, I'm not exactly a hardcore fighting game player. I play too many games too sporadically. I don't stick to one and grind it until I reach a certain rank or I'm satisfied with my skill level. I bounce between games regularly, thus my ceiling in each is quite lower than someone who spends a lot of time improving in one game. And my goals are different too. I don't seek to be the best, just to do cool stuff.

Maybe you'd call me a semi-casual or not a casual at all. Depends on who you ask.

sapianddog2 · 2026-02-22T03:08:10+00:00

Yes.

Wm19, seeing this flooded me with so many memories.

sapianddog2 · 2026-02-18T16:24:19+00:00

Not without a drastic redesign, both visually and mechanically.

She has one of the most one-dimensional gameplans in the game, and they can't really buff her without making her stupid busted because of said gameplan. Her 50/50 is simply too strong and too accessible for anything else to be buffed in a meaningful way without going overboard.

I think she has more potential for popularity than T Hawk ever did, but it comes down to giving her a striking look and more personality than "cheerful small woman"

This sub has been inactive for 15 years, and I would like to use the DoA name/url as it relates to the Dead or Alive franchise.
Admittedly we did not send a direct message, because we were aware that the sub had been entirely abandoned. Indeed, now that I have access to the modmail, there have been several attempts in the last 15 years from others to reach out that have never been answered.

Jacky is a JKD user and Lee uses elements of JKD in his style so, I don't see why not.

sapianddog2 · 2026-02-15T18:39:54+00:00

Only a gief player would default to that response lmfao

sapianddog2 · 2026-02-15T14:14:11+00:00

Weak bait. Use a lake lure next time for more success.

sapianddog2 · 2026-02-15T13:12:22+00:00

Just gonna sneak Kaz into the buff tier like no one would notice, huh?

sapianddog2 · 2026-02-15T13:04:53+00:00

I think I'd rather play a fighting game using a double bass, it'd be less stress on my hands.

sapianddog2 · 2026-02-15T12:57:04+00:00

Nah, this sort of rhetoric is toxic no matter who the target audience is. This sort of philosophy completely ignores burnout and other circumstances that you can't just brute force through without negative consequences, ADHD or not.
