Holy crap. I'm glad that snk is still kinda safe from all this bullshit.

You're giving Crapcom too much credit because this is the same company that still thinks pandering to trannies, sjws, and the far left is a good idea (thanks, Ono). The guy in charge of 4 and 5 thought it was a great idea to shit on the original character designs, turning characters like Abigail and Hugo into an autistic faggots. Woke or no woke, Duty FIghter V is still a terrible game. No one at Capcom is a good enough writer to make a tranny character that mocks sjws and the left.

SNK is shitty in its own way (disc-locked content practices, shoving shit no one asked for like characters from p2w mobile and Ubisoft games in the most mediocre SamSho series, still being owned by China more or less, etc.). All of these companies are pretty bad (especially Bamco), and the fgc reinforces them for nonexistent gaming careers, "e-sports," and weed.

More and more, they alienate more white people that love fighting games, yet in the same breath the people who do this don’t know who watch these fighting game tournaments.

So when are you going to go down by poking the shit and racking up a high score, lukewarm butthurt gaymer nerd?
EDIT: Jesus fucking christ, lol, I'm just going to go buy Street Fighter V and VI and every other fighting game I like just to spite you. Why don't you go back to the havens of angry entitled autistic whiners out of whatever forum of other incels and unconstructive deadbeat loser excuses of video game fans who have severe lifestyle problems? And I'm not just talking about the B.O., either.

For someone who is telling me I'm butthurt over one of the worst iterations of Street Fighter, you're putting a lot of autistic effort into this (Holy autism, Batman). Go pick up 4 more copies of each while you're at it. This is Geoff the Sjwcuck levels of autism.

Oh gods, 5 COPIES OF VIDEO GAMES ON A DISPOSABLE INCOME
SOMETHING I DOUBT A SUPER LEVEL MANCHILD LIKE YOU CAN EVER ATTAIN
lol hey fag, that's your name, don't wear it out. Why don't you go on about how "no one's getting me laid because I like certain video games" or something? p.s. the farms aren't your army, why don't you try other places where you can rally others to become an hero?

Anyone else remember these old Pelican "Real Arcade" sticks?
They were awesome.

Eightarc sticks were pretty good back in the day, and they're still up and running. Horis were good, but MadCatz wasnt bad until the quality kinda dropped after SFxT.

Not to detract too much from the debate about trannies and capcom's writing capability, but why did the fgc hate Super Turbo HD with a passion again? I know the obvious answer is autism and change, but I keep hearing whispers about David Sirlin's balancing being the issue. My problem is that no one ever goes into detail on what this means--did he nerf too many characters, buff too many, make the game too boring and safe?

The changes felt like it was totally different game, music and animation kind of sucked, and it was stupid seeing certain moves like Ryu's fake fireball fill up meter with little or no effort. He never fixed Akuma like he promised (He was hyping this when selling his shitty HD remake), and it exposed how much of a hack Sirlin was despite his autistic knowledge of Super Turbo . Believe it or not, DSP's video on why it sucked was pretty valid despite Phil is a joke in the fgc. It was more of a personal game for Sirlin than anything else (it doesn't help your game's lifespan when you enter tournaments holding your game, and you're winning damn near all of them).

What’s funny is that I saw some clones of these sticks on AliExpress and it looked like they were selling them as arcade consoles with emulators including different arcade games.

Most of the changes sound interesting in theory but were terrible in the actual game. For example, Guile's HK flash kick launches you half way across the screen, is the same height as the LK version, and the active attack is only a couple of frames at the beginning leaving you defenseless for 2/3rds of the move. Imagine a version of Terry's Crack Shoot that only hits during the early start up frames and doesn't hit ducking opponents, and it replaces the regular HK version leaving you with fewer options against wall jumpers and Bison. The HD Remix experience is basically replacing functional moves with less useful versions that only work in very specific circumstances while plastering everything in ugly, flat shaded art.

In addition to the general balance issues and odd art direction - the last thing anyone actually wanted was another SF2 Edition. Like fucking stop it was already dead.
SF2 has had more re-releases/version than Skyrim has.

Those were pretty much the only choice you had for og xbox sticks. Other ones were brittle and failed often or were massive like the x-arcade tank stick. You couldn't even put that one on your lap, you had to set it on a table.
Wasn't Ono the coomer that wanted to have every woman in the game flat out naked?

The art style looks like ass straight out of capeshit, and that's fitting considering the company he outsourced to. The animations look completely unnatural in this style, especially Zangief's idle pose--I swear the fuckers drew the frames backwards because they couldn't understand the motions from the CPS sprites.
Do you happen to have the link to dsp's video?
Wanting every jab/strong/fierce move to be its own animal is just plain retarded when the game already differentiated them enough as is. Sirlin sounds like one of those guys who gets obsessed with frame data and forgets what the game is even supposed to be at the end of the day. The man admittedly did the no-brainer stuff like cleaning Cammy's command inputs and swapping Hawk's normals for Old Hawk's, but from the outside it looks like sirlin wrapped up those changes and then had an autistic meltdown.

Ono bent the knee to the sjws and far left with the pro-Blm message in Duty Fighter V, and censoring Juri and Mika for people who never played or cared about Street Fighter or fighting games in general. He was a Chun-Li simp, but he basically allowed the sjws and woke to infiltrate Capcom (one of them being Bizarro Mike, a creep who pissed off Mike Ross over fried chicken) . I'm trying to find that video, but all I'm seeing are his shitty 2 minute fight clips. I hope it's not lost in time.

More petty bullshit I feel like talking about:
Recently Xrd received an announcement for rollback which understandably has gotten many fighting game players excited. Xrd is known for a scene that refuses to fucking die, and this is a long sought after win for them that many thought would never happen.
I'm not here to talk about that. I'm here to talk about a certain crowd's reaction to this. Like many things, it begins with a hot take on twitter:
https://twitter.com/JSwagdog/status/1575812008410517504 (archive)
In a sense, yes this line is understandable, farming clips off of newbies is kind of a dick move right? Such a dick move that this is the primary form of content this guy farms.
Aside from general hypocrisy, new pointless drama brewed on twitter:
A new order for the hivemind. NO SHITTALKING EACH OTHER'S GAMES, we all need to be friends, or else.
Unfortunately, it turns out the Xrd Discord, well known among the many for being run by a gestapo of the most stereotypical Reddit tier mods had not gotten the memo: (archive)
As of posting, this thread has gotten over 1k internet points, which was enough to prompt a formal response by a janny who got into contact with whoever runs the discord. Personally I assume there is plenty of overlap between the two already but I have no evidence to that claim.
While it's a very active Reddit thread, almost no receipts of any form have been posted. Just a general statement that, for some reason, a server dedicated to Rev 2 seems to not like Strive as much as Rev 2, and that it is utterly toxic.
What's next for our heroic Strive community? Who knows, but stay tuned!

Hello dear community,
with this one we've had two complaints from the same person about the Rev2 Discord server in the last 24h. Seeing that every post built up on the previous one and this has gotten so much attention we'd like to clarify some things.
TLDR: Report to the server mods if you come across any bullying.
If people don't like Strive or Xrd that's fine. You can dislike games but that doesn't mean that you have to get personal.
There also have been some in the past where people allegedly got bullied which we obviously don't appreciate.
Talking with the mod team we saw that they were quick on deleting potentially rude messages and banning people since they explicitly go against the server's own rules.
However, it might be very well the case that you encounter individuals who don't intend to abide by those. If you happen to come across such people be sure to report them to the Rev2 server mods so they can do something about it.
Discord isn't like reddit where information is halfway organized but only in a single thread per channel with hundreds of users. As such it can be extremely difficult for the mods alone to make sure everyone follows the rules, so please let them know if anything happens.
That being said, there is also the other side of the coin were people interpret things differently. There is some slander in many communities, especially the FGC and often those aren't meant to be taken seriously. Similar cases were present in the Discord as well.
But there have been a few people who take things very personally and portray any critique as hate or bullying even if the wording isn't as bad.
That doesn't mean that you have to put up with it however. Obviously, everyone has the right to like or dislike any content based on their preferences.
The main issue is that the posts on this sub could potentially misrepresent an entire community server, as the complaints never came with screenshots for evidence so everyone could form their own opinion.
Instead we only got to read the point of view of the victims.
There are many server members who also wondered where this image came from since from their perspective there wasn't much Strive hate going on, let alone personal attacks.

The whole 'all fighting games are good' thing needs to die. Your game isn't good because it's a fighting game. The idea that like, fucking Hisoutensoku is a good game because it's a fighting game is absurd. Even the fighting games I'd say are really good are really flawed (Third Strike is not objectively a good game nor is it objectively superior to 2i in all ways).
Imagine sitting there and experiencing the abortion that is the 'typhoon' weather effect in Soku while Yuyuko goes gorilla mode and going "no this is actually great because it's a fighting game).
+R (and Xrd) have a lot of jank and are pretty unbalanced (it's Guilty Gear though) but people really don't want to accept that the best fighting game is maybe a 7/10 at best.
