For me there's nobody cooler than G from SFV.

A volcanic Abe Lincoln with tattoos of continental landmasses who claims to be "President Of The World" while also having a link to one of my favorite characters in Third Strike?

Yeah sign me the hell up.

Help Help with a birthday gift for my friend

6 Upvotes

I am personally not rlly into fighting games beyond playing street fighter with my dad as a kid, so apologies if I dont rlly know the correct terms for things. I have a friend whos's into fighting games mainly, guilty gear, blazblue, and he's been really into lethal league, playing in a few beginner tournaments recently. A bit ago he mentioned wanting to get one of those flat arcade style controllers (not sure what theyre called) and his birthday is coming up so I wanted to get him one. He mentioned wanting one movement buttons instead of a joystick. Does anyone have recommendations that arent too expensive?

Help How do I get better at stick?

Post image
43 Upvotes

So, I have an arcade that I recently learned about has locals, and I want to enter them, but the thing is that I’m a keyboard player and I don’t own a fight stick at all, so how do I get better at using stick if I don’t own one?

(most of the cabs use the Japanese ball stick except for ssf2t which uses the American stick with the Japanese game)

Help Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid appears to be broken for new players on Steam

10 Upvotes

With BftG being cheaper than ever on the Steam sale, I decided to push it for my friend group's weekly. Unfortunately, when attempting to test online, a friend who just bought the game was unable to get online. They're given an error saying "You are currently offline. Connect to the internet to play a Ranked or Casual Match 1-4." Reinstalling, verifying files, restarting the pc, restarting their router, nothing seems to work. A few other players on the Steam Discussion forums have similar issues. I've had the game for years now and can login just fine, so I worry it's a case of being unable to make an nWayPlay account for crossplay services or something. I truly hope this isn't the case, because I love the BftG to bits and don't want to see the community start to wither because new players can't get in. This is partly a PSA and partly a call for help to see if anyone has a solution or workaround.

Never had the time or the community to get decent at fighting games, but I really enjoy playing with the right hardware, so I've taken my old RAP V out of the box, removed the plate sticker with an hairdryer and cut a 3D aluminum checkboard-style anti-slip wrap to gain some style points when I lose.

Content street fighter rip off found on an old off brand Gameboy I have

30 Upvotes

Hello!

Recently I found an off brand Gameboy (called a "go gamer portable") from years ago that I got from a small town walgreens with a street fighter clone called mini fighter. I am new to this fandom, but I believe it to be spefically pocket fighter.

I wanted to share this, as before I got into street fighter, this game was so important to me that I based one of my old ocs of the Sakura clone (named judy) ill check out the website on the back of the console for updates, for now, here's a video of the game (sorry for the poor quality) but I thought it would be interesting to share! (Also, ignore how bad I am T_T) I can also get longer footage from the game, or just straight up photos at anyone's request (it wont let me add anymore)

(Also, I dont know if I used the right flair, but I hope I did!)

Help Haute42 R16

Hi there. I used to play on a keyboard, but I’ve ordered a Haute42 R16; it’ll be my first fighting controller. Since I’m used to a keyboard, I think a leverless controller will feel more comfortable. Do you think I made a good choice or a bad one?

Equipment Fightcade 2 on Raspberry Pi5?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I know Fightcade runs on X86-64 and pi is ARM64, got it to download on Ubuntu but it loads and crashes. There has to be some workaround right? I looked into Latte Panda and that is Linux based so I know that would work, but I wanna see if I can get this on the Pi.
Has anyone successfully done this?

Topic A top 5 list for fighting games with the most guest characters

Thumbnail gallery
27 Upvotes

Also let me know if I missed any fighting games. I feel like I got down all fighters with 6 guests or more but please correct me if there are any others.
Also I didn’t count Brawlhalla because most of the “guests” there are really just alternate costumes and I think only Ezio and Rayman are fully fledged fighters. I didn’t want to question whether or not that meant I should count the Mii fighter costumes or any other collab costume that appears in a fighting game.
Also before anyone asks, yes, Manjiro and Ken Ryuguji will be separate characters as confirmed on the Nintendo Store page for Fatal Fury COTW.
In case anyone’s wondering here are the stats:
DOA5LR, MK1, and SSB4 all have 6 guests (or third party characters in the case of SSB4)
COTW currently has 5 guests and will soon add 2 more, bringing the total up to 7
SSBU has a total of 18 third party characters, a record I doubt will be broken for a long time

Topic Do you think Street Fighter still would have been as popular as it is as a franchise if it wasn't first?

0 Upvotes

I have had this thought about a lot of things; How much privilege would it have if it wasn't first.

I genuinely feel Street Fighter would have been as successful regardless. Because I started playing Fighters in 2022, and I was mostly a Tekken kid,by now I've played everything, and I feel Street Fighter still is the best,just because of how slow this game is compared to the rest of the genre
