What's the point of chip damage when BLOCKING? You're punished for being defensive in a fighting game?

Blocking a punch still hurts. But for the sake of a video game, it should only do one unit of damage. That way you are unlikely to lose a fight on blocking chip damage and it would make low health situations riskier.

Maybe a blocked attack should do chip damage to both players. Could get that cool action movie scenario where both guys knock each other out.

City of The Wolves is out. Looks like SNK got their acts together with the connection actually working for once, and people actually enjoying it despite the two duds as guest characters. Still wish that never happened but whatever.

Ronaldo seems like a last minute sand nigger addition while from what I've seen that DJ dude had actual love and care put into his whole character, if it was just him I don't think people would've given that much of a shit, maybe a small stink at worst.

Maybe you just don't like fighting games.

Too bad everything after 2009 or 2010 sucked.

Maybe you just don't like fighting games.

I doubt many people would be playing half the things they are if not for social media. Take away someone's internet and give them the best game of all genres and they'd likely primarily end up playing action, rpg or stardew esque shit. Fighting is an outdated genre only attracting newcomers from the novelty of such an archaic medium.

Like imagine any other genre with ONE viable game, if not you wanna sit on Discords to get to play 3 matches at 8pm.

If Ronaldo didn't exist and it was only the DJ I imagine I would still be mad, but could be convinced because he's an actual fan and the devs did put in actual care into his move set, but we don't live in that world.

It doesn't take much for be not to buy something and the retarded marketing budget getting nigger influencers to market it, a boxing event, adding two real people, said people are only in it because the Saudi Prince likes them means I have no interest in getting it. There is nothing they can do ever for me to consider buying it, but if other people wish to buy it they are free to, but they are probably some shade of brown subhuman who worships celebrities. This will be my last comment regarding this game as be bitching about it anymore would be pathetic.

MaximilianDood should have just took the Saudi money if he is going to promote the game and now this. I don't see the point of virtue signaling if you are still going to drive sales.
I will say the DJ is intelligent enough to know how to make people like him.

Lo-FUCKING-L.
Know what, I love this.
Any salt I have about DJ guy is quickly dissolving.

Look, I don't hate Max, but what a massive fucking hypocrite.

The motherfucker ran to ResetEra to absolve himself of the sin of playing a game with Ronaldo in it because of the allegations surrounding him, but it's a-okay to play the game now because Salvatore loves his content? Which is it, Max? Is it okay to play the game or not?

This is how a fence-sitter behaves

He's trying to appease as many groups of people as possible without pissing off as many people as possible, even if it makes him look bad. And then later on he will make an excuse as to why what he's doing is O.K., which unfortunately will work.

i like chip damage because it promotes different play styles if you get rid of that then it homogenizes the cast, there should be more variety not less and I think the idea of taking damage for attacking is horrible. Maybe if a character has a special power like a fire form they can activate then it would be good

that’s not true it’s a very timeless genre maybe the most timeless next to platformers and fps it just doesn’t get a lot of attention because its surprisingly difficult to make a good one

It's also not about a good one, because there are a lot of good ones - it's about innovation. Arguably the largest innovation was the concept of team vs team that crystallized in Marvel vs Capcom 2 - which was 25 years ago.

Even if you think I'm wrong about that specific innovation, generally speaking most people think (me included) that fighting games peaked near 2000 (MVC2 in 2000, 3rd Strike in 99, Tekken 3 in '97, Soul Calibur 2 in '02, Power Stone in '99, etc) and turned into absolute dogshit (Tekken 4/5/6, SC 4/5, SF 4, MVC3/I, etc) and now are kind of approaching OK again (Tekken 7/8, MK whatever, SF6) but most genres have massively evolved in the same time period.

They aren't really played in arcades anymore but the online isn't amazing either - but the games basically require PVP as there isn't much fun in fighting CPUs and not a lot of single player content.

Warner Bros must cringe that MK11 is beating MK1 reboot. Wow. Have they fixed Tekken 8's 100% combos yet?

as there isn't much fun in fighting CPUs

That HEAVILY depends on the game. IMO, I find 2D fighter CPU's to be easier than 3D fighters, and this is when they are set to the hardest difficulty. Like I can clear USF4, Alpha 3, MVC2 and CVS2's CPU with ease, but if I try the same thing on something like Virtua Fighter or Tekken, I get my ass handed to me. I think the only 3D game I can take on the hardest difficulty is Battle Arena Toshinden 3, and the only 2D games I have super difficulty with on the hardest difficulty is practically any SNK/NeoGeo fighter and obscure shit like Breaker's Revenge and Karnov's Revenge.

It all depends on how the CPU is programmed, and I've come to find that the CPU's in Capcom fighters are the easiest to read because they all follow set patterns even on the highest difficulty. That doesn't mean they won't go rogue sometimes. For example, CPU Ryu in SuperTurbo is easy as piss because his pattern is fairly simple to follow.

• At the start of the round, you can walk forward and force Ryu into the corner. At that point he will most likely go for an instant sweep depending on how wide your character's hurtbox is, unless you can get the sweep first. You can keep sweeping until he blocks.
• CPU Ryu will always throw a set of 2 fireballs and then do a different pattern. At that time after the first fireball, you can easily jump attack him the instant he sets up the 2nd fireball.
• When CPU Ryu's health is low, that's when he will start to throw out random SRKs, and it's so obvious when he does it because he will stand still and do nothing for a second or two before he does it.
• CPU Ryu has a diagonal jk, cr lk-lk-lk-lk, cr hk pattern.
• CPU Ryu will also throw out random cr mk's which will then be followed by a fireball sometimes.

And that's just off the top of my head. I've studies SuperTurbo's CPU so much that I could do an autistic rundown on how they all work. I just don't recommend playing SuperTurbo on the hardest difficulty because with this game specifically, it's not just the CPU that get's harder, but they do WAY more damage to you the higher the difficulty while you do normal or less damage to them, so that's another layer of bullshit you have to keep in mind.

WB Games is hemorrhaging money and fans as Netherealm Studios packs their studios with trannies and soyboys.

I can say with a firm stance that while it has a strong foundation, City of the Wolves is SNK's Street Fighter V. They've made all the wrong decision for no explainable reason that I can only call "Saudi Changes" because the only people who would even be retarded enough to actually be okay with them are child-raping sand nigger princes. No, easily chaining three EXs to take half health doesn't takes any skill nor does the combos that require feint cancelling, it's all easy mode bullshit made to appeal to the lowest common denominator and E-Sports faggotry.
Hopefully the approaching video game market crash makes dev actually use their brains again.

I'll pirate it or pull the old "Amazon sent me the wrong item!" switcheroo but either for Fatal Fury or the Capcom Fighting Collection 2 since they edited/censored endings, moves and stages.

Streamlining for down syndrome patients is the current way they can assure you into buying games since not everyone is a welfare case with indefinite free time.
