I found it far more intuitive than the majority of fighting game moves, where it's "hit random button sequence to combo". At least in smash, it's "forward and A to hit forward, up and A to hit upward, etc." rather than "left, right, up, B" or something.

So it's intuitive controls for a fighting game. That's saying a lot.

@Swas: I'm talking about the more combo oriented ones. Like where the first move in the combo is simple, but you have to nail the entire thing precisely right to actually do the whole thing and get in more than one hit. Out of all the fighting games I've played, smash is the one where it's easiest to figure out the controls on your own.

Anyway, I noticed that we hit the 10, 000 page mark while I was gone. Who got the lucky post?

Fighting games my skills progress little above keeping up with smash bros. When you get into shit like attack cancelling and combos my ability to learn goes out the window.

I played some Marvel Vs Capcom 3 the other day. Sucked at it.

#250306 Perpetual Lurker Sun, 15th Jul '12 2:38:50 PM

@story Like I said, it's literally "direction + attack = attack in that direction." I don't know how you could make it more simple without having the game pick the attack for you.

And it's not as simple as just direction + attack. For example, Kirby's ground UP+A attacks behind him.

I never understood Marvel vs Capcom. Surely a Marvel vs DC game would make more sense?

Oh, well yeah. I like fighting games, but I usually don't bother with combos. Just using a bunch of normal attacks works fine and constant combos don't seem like they'd make it fun for the other player.

So it's intuitive controls for a fighting game. That's saying a lot.

It's not any more complicated than a normal action game, really.*

Also from the same cracked article:

The retraining of prostitutes is an obvious move since prostitutes possess good people skills, aren't easily disgusted and have zero fear of physical contact.

I don't play many fighting games. Smash Bros is pretty much the only non-licensed-game one I own, and I haven't played it in months.

#250314 Perpetual Lurker Sun, 15th Jul '12 2:41:06 PM

@Story It still hits above him as intended, and Kirby's limbs are so stumpy that it makes sense for it to be awkward like that.

#250315 storyyeller Sun, 15th Jul '12 2:41:11 PM from Appleloosa

I don't know how you could make it more simple without having the game pick the attack for you.

I think maybe Fighting Games are an inherently complicated genre. Especially when you have dozens of attacks and only two buttons.

Well, the franchise is "_________ vs Capcom."

#250317 Swasfews Sun, 15th Jul '12 2:41:50 PM from New York

For example, Kirby's ground UP+A attacks behind him.

It hits behind him and above. His foot has to go up to hit up, you know.

I think it had to do with them having a deal with Capcom to make games for them and the idea just sprung up from that.

What is a 'normal action game' anyway? It sounds to me like it's just a classification for anything that requires realtime input and doesn't clearly fit another genre.

An idea for a Pixar vs Dreamworks fighting game just popped into my head.

How about a Nintendo vs Sega game? I'd love to play as Ecco.

@Purple Hey, Olimar is tiny, but he kicks ass.

Also, anyone else excited for that new Pixar movie, Wreck-It Ralph?

When they crossover, all the characters are equally effective regardless of their canon power. Just look at MVC 3, where a 2HP wonder goes against an immortal reality warper.
