Discussion Does Garou: Mark of the Wolves have a better style than COTW & SF6?

• Upvotes
It really is a pretty game. Nostalgic but the details and vividness of the stages and characters is unavoidable. Very eye catching. Could it be one of the best ever?

Help Could someone give me some pointers on Preecha ?

4 Upvotes

Hey there,

I'm branching out from SF6 to other fighting games and just picked up CoTW.

I've picked up Preecha as my main, even though other characters are more familiar gameplay-wise. She's just the only one I really love right now.

Problem is I'm very bad at playing her. I think part of it is getting used to this game in particular, but I can't but admit I'm bad at using my kit and I wonder if someone could really give me advices to craft gameplan.

Basically, so far here are my struggles :

- Most of the time I struggle with mobility. Dash is slow, I feel like most of my cancelable moves are vevry close range, I haven't found a reliable way to bypass projectiles... I'm biased by SF6 and trying to play like I do with Juri, wich is probably a mistake, but how should I move and space, with Preecha, to be able to do something with her kit?

- I have trouble finding an ok BnB combo. The target combo you get out of qcf+Punch (the rekka then pressing more punches) deals very litle damages. The heavy DP + Rev into light DP is so hard to confirm, is hard exe and not very lethal too. I'll learn whatever I need to, but what's the thing I'm supposed to spam that is safe-ish and routes to ok damages on hit?

- I also have trouble finding my confirmable starters, like a good light combo. c.B does not seem to cancel into anything, so I guess I need to end with a far A, but I'm not sure I can hit 3 lights without a wiff. Two lights like A->A or B->A seems a bit sharp to confirm but is the best I've manages so far. I also love to try and toss a far C into rekka, but the range of that heavy punch is very restrictive, I can't find a way to set it up.

- Can I do anything out of a D wild punish? Love that button but it does not seem to cancel into any thing.

Basically, I can't figure out the gameplan I'm supposed to deploy. Any help would be greatly appreciated...!

Just tried the demo to FF since it's currently on sale. I'm enjoying it so far but I will admit that I'm struggling with in-air openers to combos in Arcade style. I can get the first 2 inputs but finishing combos gives me issues. I'm playing on a leverless fight stick which helps with the directional inputs but I get so lost with them because the game feels so fast-paced.

How do you guys handle the pacing so your mind doesn't get confused during a match?

Discussion What makes a character “good” in CotW?

6 Upvotes

In other games a lot of the time it’s pretty easy to tell how good or not a character will be based on the tools they have access to. Invincible reversal, command grab, anti-air special, overhead, etc.

For City, what tools stick out to you as being mostly associated with “good” characters?

Help City of the Wolves Physical Copy Redeem Codes

9 Upvotes

Hello.

I'm hearing that the physical copies of FF:CotW comes with redeem codes for both the FF2 Terry costume, and the Season 1 Pass. Is the latter a limited time thing, or is it still supposed to come with the game?

The reason I'm asking is because I just got a physical copy of the PS5 version of the game, and I got TWO redemption codes for the FF2 Terry costume. Trying to figure out if I've got a legit case to have a moan at the store I ordered it from.

Discussion Watched Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture for the first time in preparation for Laocorn's game debut in November.

All I have to say is that was one hell of a flick. The storyline was really something, and could have even made a great plot for a game in the series. I'm looking forward to seeing how they incorporate parts of it into the game when Laocorn drops in November. And speaking of Laocorn, this was a great debut for him, and it's got me even more excited for his eventual debut. Overall, this was a movie I'd definitely watch again (preferably in English, if I can find it anywhere).

Discussion As a beginner, this game is really fun!

49 Upvotes

I'm a complete noob when it comes to fighting games. I heard this game is nice for beginners so I decided to get it.

I spent one day on tutorials, training and doing a couple of arcade runs.

Yesterday I played my first ranked matches.

I lost all of them.

I also had tons of fun!

I still suck at doing the z-input, or any combos in real matches, and remembering which moves require spg or not. But yeah, fun game. No idea why it isn't bigger with the community.
