I enjoy spectating traditional 2D fighters, specifically Street Fighter and Marvel vs Capcom. I'm terrible at these games, but they're very enjoyable to watch.

Night everyone!!!

As for me these days I'm looking forward to play competitive games like Smash, Street Fighter, Marvel Vs Capcom, DBZ, blazblue, Naruto, Injustice, Tatsunuko vs Capcom, Mortal Kombat and others. Even Mario Kart, Uno card Online, Chess, Checkers, Domino, Billars, Yu-Gi-Oh and others.

Because I always love a good challenge, train myself good and to see what other is capable to do and what I capable to do and I always love competition games. :D

Seeing all these new characters in MKX makes me really want to pick it up, even though I wouldn't know the first thing about how to play it. I was sold at Jason but now theres the Predator AND the Alien!?!? HYPE

I played a bit of Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 after my ex bought it for me. I'm horrible at higher difficulties, but I did manage to beat the Arcade mode (final boss is Galactus) several times. Dante (Devil May Cry), Zero (Mega Man), and Super Skrull (Fantastic Four) are my best characters in that game. I haven't played in a while, however...

i am quite into street fighter mainly because i feel it always works out given that throughout all the games, the roster will change, but all the button layouts are mostly the same, so even if a character from say alpha 3 for example doesnt show up in another sf game until later on, they will have the same moveset from that game in the newer one they are in. I also like playing KoF sometimes and I have recently gotten into DoA5 which i really just play because it it fun. oh and MvC is amazing as well.

I've been playing a lot of Pokken because it feels like a game where Charizard is not totally garbage. Street Fighter V is fun even though I suck at it but I really want to get good at it.

When I was younger, I started to play the anniversary edition of Street Fighter, including Street Fighter 2 and Third Strike(I really sucked in those games)

The other fighting game that I also played is SNK vs Capcom, which is one of my favorite fighting games before I picked up Smash Bros.

I am really, REALLY awful at fighting games but I do enjoy watching Street Fighter or Tekken videos, I also watch some Mortal Kombat or BlazBlue sometimes. I'd love to buy Pokken but I can't afford buying it right now. I casually play Tekken Tag Tournament 2 on PS3 with my sisters (we're looking forward to playing Tekken 7 however, we need a PS4).

Tekken Tag 2 Wii U and SoulCali V. I haven't found my main in either, but I've found secondaries that I like.

I want to try out Skullgirls at some point, because I hear it has an amazing tutorial system.

Its tutorial is godlike, but the game itself is really hard to git gud at. I've played around 30 hours I think and still have not won a single online match (granted, only the hardcore people play online in the first place. most casuals avoid it like me)

Not much fighting games caught my attention besides Smash, however Skullgirls looks fun imo. Especially Peacock...

Skullgirls which I own on Steam (Though I'm garbage at). And I'm also hoping Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator comes out on Steam too...

Before my love of competitive Melee/PM, I was HUGE (and in a way still am) on many of SNK's fighters. Fatal Fury, King of Fighters, Art of Fighting, Samurai Shodown, Last Blade, etc. my particular favorites are Real Bout Fatal Fury 1, KoF2000, Samurai Shodown 2, and Last Blade 2.

I like to dabble in other fighting games like Street Fighter 4 (don't have a PS4 yet, so no SF5), Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and Pokken, but I am pretty bad at all of these games (but I do think that my Phoenix Wright in UMVC3 is at least passable). Smash is really the only fighting game that I'm good at.

I played a lot of pokken when it came out but I got tired of it after a week but I would consider picking it up again one day. Other than that I played a lot of tekken and a good amount of Soul Caliber 2 when I was younger, and would pick them up if I had a system to play them on, I also want to pick up on of the JJBA games specifically "All Star Battle."

Also going to add Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 to my fighting game interests. Always loved the idea of having both companies fighting against each other.

Mains:
CAPCOM: Ryu, Strider Hiryu, Phoenix Wright, Dante.
MARVEL: Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, Iron Fist.

For most of my life I was never into fighting game, but thanks to Smash, I am now a big time fan, and I want to get into others. I've only just gotten Super Street Fighter IV for the 3DS (it was on deep discount, which helped) and I totally love it.. Injustice, Mortal Kombat, Marvel vs Capcom all look a ton of fun, and hopefully one day I can get them.

I recently got Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Full Burst and it was alright. I used to be a fan of the Naruto anime back in the day but I lost interest in it along with anime in general. I only got it because it was on a Steam sale.

This definitely catches my interest!


Thanks to the Wii's Virtual Console service I've fallen totally in love with the Samurai Shodown series so this is probably going to be a day 1 purchase for me. Matter of fact, I'm even more excited about the new SS game than I am about Soul Calibur VI.

I play BBTAG and its great. At the very least, its a better fighting game than Smash 4. Maybe Ultimate will bring me back.

I also will be getting FighterZ when that comes to Switch. Hopefully, it’ll be worth it. I’ve heard negative things about the game that irk me but I always have BBTAG to fix those for me.
