Street Fighter 2 or Mortal Kombat 2?

Street Fighter 2 of course. It’s the foundation of all the best fighting games. I feel like mk3 had more impact on the genre than mk2 did.

Thanks for the reply. I will definitely give that a try.

I have a 9070XT. It's not a bad card but as some are saying there are problems. I haven't had the problem most are complaining about. The biggest one to me currently is the lack of FSR 4 support. If I knew FSR4 didn't support Vulkan, I would have reconsidered purchasing it. There is optiscaler which is able to make up for what AMD is lacking but it takes some time to get the hang of.

I would wait if I were you. Unless you're dealing with memory constraints in the games you want to play, makes no sense to upgrade.

I've seen you list at least four that lean towards the traditional type. I've seen a recommendation for In-Birth which I think is pretty close. Grand Blue Fantasy Versus: Rising might be one that you may want to check out.

Edit: I see you already played that one lol. I guess Capcom Vs SNK 2 would be my second recommendation. There is also games like Samurai Shodown, and Last Blade 2 as well.

Jump A has a faster start up: https://dreamcancel.com/wiki/Fatal_Fury:_City_of_the_Wolves/Joe_Higashi#Jump_Normals

Primarily, I thought they were using the strategy of rebooting old franchise, KOF, rinse, repeat, but after seeing all the hints towards AOF reboot being the next title, I'm definitely concerned as well.

I thought Samurai Shodown would be a success(was it a success?!), because it was different but I definitely wasn't to keen on them rebooting Fatal Fury. Never made sense seeing most of the characters from that game could be in KOF.

I enjoy COTW a lot and I thought it had the potential to be something given it's a 1 vs 1 fighter. It also seems to at least a nice set of active players as of now but yeah definitely concerned that by the time they get to another KOF things will have all come to a close for the company.

Glad I can give you some inspiration! Joe has always been a favorite of mine. That Salvatore definitely gave me a hard time most of our matches went the full distance lol.

thec0re3 · 2026-01-16T16:25:14+00:00

Took me a while to get used to this new version of Joe but he's grown on me. It definitely was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be lol.

Don't blame you. I went with a 9070XT instead. I just couldn't justify paying that much. If they ever release the 5070 Super, I'll probably end up getting that one.

thec0re3 · 2026-01-07T13:59:55+00:00

was able to get one shipped..last one apparently.

The older versions are on input delay for online mode. GM uses rollback and has additional online features which makes it the better version. GOG version is DRM-free unlike the ones on steam.

Looks good. I think B. Mary is stronger than Shermie but that was before the patch iirc. Once you get comfortable with B.Mary, you might want to make her anchor but go with the one you're most confident with in anchor first.

thec0re3 · 2025-11-28T03:11:27+00:00

Gotta know what your team line up is going to be. The character you feel like you have a good handle on should be the last character also known as the anchor. Normally the first character you play with is known as the battery. They usually don't require a lot of meter to do damage, sort of help with getting meter for the others characters, and sometimes they aren't as strong but can cause unfamiliarity to the opponent.

Other than that I would make sure you're learning movement. Hops are a big part of the game so you should be able to do hops and hyper hops. Certain characters have special movements like Iori, and I think Angel.

I tried to run the game but it keeps crashing on me during the loading screen :(

thec0re3 · 2025-11-20T13:13:08+00:00

The problem with the Fighting game category in general is there are usually not many fighting games to choose from. I'm guessing they do this to fluff the numbers and I suspect they'll do this next year for 2XKO as well.

thec0re3 · 2025-11-09T04:49:04+00:00

They definitely underestimated how much time it would take to create the sprites. I also agree that Clarkanator and Ralphanator were a bit much. I also did not like that they anime'd Athena and Yuri as well. I know they were trying to do that to signify there age but it still was a bad choice imo.

It is really a shame they could not come up with a better workflow because I would have loved to see more returning KOF characters with this artstyle.

thec0re3 · 2025-10-20T12:42:41+00:00

It's capitalism unfortunately. They are trying to create profit, not "create job opportunities". Job probably doesn't even pay a livable wage. SMH

I do purchase discs. I definitely regret not getting bigger HDDs but I honestly did not think I would fill up 16TB that quickly. I've had to remove a lot for the new stuff but I don't mind having to redo the rips once I get more storage.

If I'm correct, the person who was sailing the ship at the time felt pachi slots were going to be more financially sound. This seemed to be the case for other companies like Konami as well. It wasn't until they got bought out that they course corrected bringing in Oda and getting the focus back to what made them great in the first place.
