The OS Fighter's Lounge

[The 24th Letter]

I figured I would make this thread for all the fighting game enthusiasts (mods, let me know if this is off base) around OS.

I know we already have established threads for the "big boys"

MKX
USF4
Injustice
Killer Instinct

but I figured it would be good to have place to discuss the less popular fighters:

Skullgirls 2nd Encore
Guilty Gear Xrd Sign
Blazblue Continuum Shift
JStars

and maybe set up some matches.

Re: The OS Fighter's Lounge

I'm loving Blazblue CE. Only thing is that there is no PS3 fight stick support as of now. I hope they patch it, but I am able to mash out combos surprisingly well with the DS4.

I will probably pick up Skull Girls this week sometime. Never played it before, but it looks varied and fun.

I just picked up Skull Girls and and JStars today....I fell in love with Skull Girls during my PSNow trial, so it was a must grab.

JStars isn't a technical fighting game in the least but I figured it'd be a fun little button masher...

I plan on getting BlazBlue next week...

Saw that this just released:

Budget shows in the fringes, but it looks interesting. Heard there was good netcode too.

Re: The OS Fighter's Lounge

i'm just getting into fighting games, have mkx and USF4 on ps4 and thinking about getting KI on xbone since the combo pack is on sale for $32.00. I don't think im willing to invest in a stick, so what is everyones stance on sticks for pads? will i hold my own or is it not even worth trying?

Re: The OS Fighter's Lounge

It's all about what you're comfortable playing on. People win tournaments on stick and pad.

Re: The OS Fighter's Lounge

I didn't think injustice and Killer instinct were considered "big boys" in the FGC. Also, we need some tekken love in here.

Skullgirls is dope, but tricky. And i had a blast with blazeblue when i played it.

And as for stick vs pad, it's like cyros said, comfort is the most important thing. I played in arcades when i was younger, but i still prefer a controller over a stick. It's all about what feels better to you, i'm not nearly as good using a stick as i am on controller.

Injustice definitely is...not so much Killer Instinct....guess I just added it in there since it's one of the better known games and has its own thread here.

I prefer the controller over the stick too though....

Re: The OS Fighter's Lounge

Thinking about picking up Skullgirls, not sure yet. I have Guilty Gear, MKX, Ultra SFIV and Injustice. All fun games, but I don't dedicate enough time into them to be very good.

Re: The OS Fighter's Lounge

Yeah I don't know if o want to pick up the KI combo pack or skullgirls. I have no clue what skullgirls is all about though lol. Is it fun and easy to jump into?

It did land a $50k pot bonus for Evo.

Re: The OS Fighter's Lounge

I have Tekken Tag 2, Tekken Revolution, Mortal kombat 9, MKX, Injustice, and skullgirls. Also MVC2. Tekken is definitely my favorite fighting game series, very balanced and great net code. I've been playing a good amount of MKX as of late tho.

[The 24th Letter]

Re: The OS Fighter's Lounge

Man I always liked Tekken but could never really get good at it....besides spamming Eddie in Tekken 3, lol....is there a next ten Tekken in the works?

I'm playing Skullgirls now, only played one match online but it was smooth

Re: The OS Fighter's Lounge

Yep, tekken 7 is already out in japan arcades, and it's rumored to be coming out on systems in august. Hopefully that's true, it'll be nice to play a fighting game with a good net code again, i mean i like MK, but for me it can't touch tekken as far as mechanics and online play IMO

Actually, tekken and MK are the only fighting games i played since i was a kid, i didn't like street fighter as much until i got older.

Re: The OS Fighter's Lounge

Tekken 7 release date will be revealed at EVO.

EDIT: Actually, there is a Tekken 7 tournament! Even better.
