kingpotato Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I kinda want to get a new Fighting game, I already own Injustice 2 but wanted something different from the Mortal Kombat formula. Can someone recommend a Fighting game and tell us why is good ? mostly I want to hear why the gameplay mechanics of such game are good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaucyPastaTho Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 My only recommended game would be tekken because that was the only game I ever liked. I played it on the PS2, never played the new one though. kingpotato 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I recommend Soul Calibur. Specifically Soul Calibur 2. The adventure part is extremely outside the formula of a fighting game. Get it on Game Cube. Link was the exclusive character on that one. And with all the weapons and abilities you can unlock as you progress, the game offers so much. Also it has a practice mode with no health bar or time limit. You can choose whether you want your opponent to just stand there, or if you want them to fight back. The adventure gets more and more sadistic as you go. I quit doing the adventure when I was starting the fights with 1/4 health and the enemy was invisible with only part of their weapon visible. That bullshit was more than I was willing to tolerate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue with other fighting games is that the combos feel so tedious. Then again Tekken could be like that as well because it's been a while since I actually played it. If it's on PS now I'll probably check that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead2009 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid is pretty fun once you get used to the controls. kingpotato 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think SC5 is the current one. It may be up to 6 though. I haven’t really kept up with the series. I remember in SC2, the combos were really easy. I always used Kilik. I was best with him and really went far in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I know the series, the characters and the whole demon blood thing but I have never played one. What makes Tekken's game play different from Mortal Kombat or Street fighter ? 16 hours ago, The Blackangel said: I recommend Soul Calibur. Specifically Soul Calibur 2.

Ah yes Soul calibur 2 is a great game, I played the ps2 version, it has the old guy from Tekken as guest and I believe the Xbox version had Ryu from Ninja Gaiden. I've been thinking of getting Soul Calibur 6 the most recent game, this one has Geralt of Rivia from the Witcher 3 as a guest character, but the main reason why I want is because of the character creation system, its hilarious xD just google created characters on Soul Calibur 6 and you will find some crazy shit, from Sonic to Thanos.

It goes for about 20 bucks so you wont be breaking the bank if you got it now and no, not really, although there are some characters that have crappy attacks. kingpotato 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Mortal Kombat, Injustice, are the most known one but there are also old capcom vs marvel type japanese and also korean games you can search but hard to with language barrier in search.

The Blackangel Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 To get your fingers used to the motions, I would suggest either Street Fighter 2 or Mortal Kombat. Like the originals on SNES and Sega. Those will get you going. Then once your fingers are familiar with how to move, you could move up to more advanced games like Soul Calibur.

skyfire Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Nothing beats MK and Injustice series. Those are the classic in the fighting games now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
