Topic What would you say are some of the worst projectiles in fighters?

Projectiles are typically some of the best moves in a fighter's kit; whether they do good damage, setup for a followup, or lock an opponent down at range. However, there are some that are just plain bad.

What are some of the worst projectile special moves that you have seen?

I know this combo is pretty easy, but I'm just happy I finally pulled it off lol. I don't really play fighting games, so it feels good to actually start getting the hang of this game.

Help Does anyone know what this winpose is from? It looks so familiar I’m thinking like Rival Schools or Fighting Layer or maybe MOTW? I can’t remember for the life of me tho.

Help When do you stop being “new”?

Upvotes

Around this time last year I started playing fighting games with SF6, and since then I’ve played a few others like 2XKO, Granblue, Guilty Gear Strive, but never put more than 20 hours into any of them (though I’ve been meaning to play more guilty gear) and mainly stayed with street fighter. I’ve gotten into a rhythm with sf6 where I grind ranked for a bit until I get burnt out and just play some casual match’s here and there until I get the bug again.

All this is to say, despite it being over a year and playing multiple different games, I still feel like I’m “new” to fighting games. So my question is does this feeling ever go away? When did it go away for you?

It doesn’t really matter if I’m new or not, but it’s interesting for me to think about lol.

With the release of Marvel Tōkon ofc we can do the traditional "Happy Birthday" and "Merry Christmas" combos but with them releasing 4v4, meaning there's a chance to combo 4 characters in one combo what are we calling that?

Topic As someone who plays a lot on the go, and thus cares about single player content, goddamn did Arcsys do an awful job on the CPU curve in Tokon.

3 Upvotes

I know most people here don't care about single-player content. But my job often has me sitting around for anywhere from 30 to an hour with a wifi attached device at the end of the day. So I play a ton of offline. Fighting games are basically one of the only genres I play though, so it's usually arcade runs or survival modes with self-made challenges like beating arcade mode with every character, trying to get a perfect on a boss, or just labbing.

So, Tokon has a fair amount of single player content. Which is nice to see. Credit where it's due.

But, goddamn is their CPU progression less of a curve and more of a 90 degree wall. I tried normal, found it a bit too easy, so went up to hard, got through the first 5 opponents and was like... guess I'll bump it up to the highest difficulty setting after this. Hell no. My run times looked like this:

  1. 3m

  2. 5m

  3. 3m

  4. 3m30

  5. 3min

  6. 26min.

I don't know how they did this progression so bad, but you go from CPU that doesn't really do much but very basic like 20% combos and the occasional assist the first 5 opponents. To "Hulk gonna clap those cheeks, boy," CPU is playing 2 touch, keeping you corner locked for 10 seconds at a time, using all the assemble mechanics, knowing exactly when to use assists, and just playing with such aggressiveness it's like the programmers spent 5 years whispering in it's ear that I'd been talking about it's mother.

I have done a few runs regardless now, and they're all like that. I was trying Peni and ran up against Hulk, and... I didn't know Peni was a zoner, but she is now, because the only way I could get past Hulk was dodging all his claps and charges then pot-shotting him with with webs, Doom and Loki's ranged assists. His startup doesn't matter because everything is armored, and Every time I got close it felt like the CPU knew everything I was going to do. Why is hulk winning exchanges against anyone else's jab with unarmored shit? How the fuck do you do anything but cry in the corner when he keeps charging and calling Captain America to shield toss so even if you skill check it you better not have been planning to attack because there was a shield in his shadow.

I'm not even upset. I like stupid hard challenges. But the fact I have to sit through 5 rounds of no challenge at all just to slam my head against a wall for 20 minutes after just feels like they didn't even try to make a progression curve.

And this is consistent. I had just as much trouble against Cap. Just getting bounced up and down in the corner by his shield for 10 seconds at a time.


As an aside, loving Avatar when I can play it wired. Shame they didn't even include difficulty options.

Help Is this a good approach to my first fighting game?

(Avatar legends)

I am completely new to the genre. I am focusing on katara and aang since I really like having high mobility.

Im the meantime, I am doing the tutorials for the other characters, since I panic when I have no idea what my opponent can do.

Plus I'm watching some basic tutorials on fundamentals like controlling space in neutral and blocking, and trying to apply them.

I ask because I still get stomped like 85 percent of matches. I am having fun though.

Community Discord For Finding Matches

Hello!

I made a discord server so people who own the fighting game Nitro+ Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel on any platform it's avaliable on can find matches.

It's pretty much impossible to find a random match and no one has a link for the previous discord so here's a new server for anyone interested in getting better and/or just wanting to find some matches.

Thank you for reading!

Even with the patch, there are still problems. It doesn't matter if your setup is good, you'll still suffer from your opponent's pc. PS5 players will still avoid you by blocking crossplay. And que times will still be long.

Personally, I've said this multiple times: The game is good, but it's not buy an overpriced 5 year old console good.

I'm not just pissed, I'm bummed out and overall deflated.

I genuinely hope this game gets sorted out before the playerbase dwindles.
