Fighting game is something so great

Yeah the beta absolutely sold me on this game. Absolutely love what they've done with it.

Finally installed Fightcade on my computer. I can see putting a lot of time in to it. The first game I fired up was Armed Police Batrider. Followed that up with some SFII Championship. Very excited to poke around some more.

@ā€œtomjonjonā€#p116907 Get Third Strike or CvS2 up and running and then we'll stream some sets for the IC-Adjacent Streaming Zone!

@KingTubb @TracyDMcGrath Looking forward to losing to you both. Bonus points for losing in front of the IC-Adjacent Streaming Zone family!

So wanting to get into Melty Blood and learning it was based on a visual novel called Tsukihime made me go, ā€œHuh, sounds neat! I will play that before to understand what this game is based off of!ā€ Oh boy, Tsukihime is a ride. I was not expecting a horror fantasy thriller game based on the visual aesthetic and character designs of Melty Blood, but that is what I got. It has some genuinely horrifying (and wildly uncomfortable) stuff and moments in it, but I am fascinated by its story and weird/interesting lore. I also cannot play Melty Blood until I've finished the last two routes (I have heard those are the best/most horrifying) because I tried booting up Actress Again and immediately the roster screen is just a giant spoiler and anyone else who has played Tsukihime knows what I mean.

Has anyone else here played Tsukihime because of Melty Blood?

@ā€œantilleseā€#p116911 Hey I like those games!! Wanna teach me some of the good stuff? Already have them ready to go on FC

I am ready to lose and learn. I am free this friday evening if anyone is down. My handle is the same as it is here.

What happens if I pencil in 8 PM Pacific on Friday for an IC Fightcade night? @KingTubb @tomjonjon does that time work? @TracyDMcGrath should show up too, but that may be getting late. Ha ha, just kidding. It's never too late for Tracy to kick ass at Street Fighter.

@ā€œantilleseā€#p117006 If itā€˜s CvS2 and Third Strike Iā€™m probably going to be the one getting my ass kicked but I think I might be able to make that.

@ā€œantilleseā€#p117006 I could do that! It'll be a little late for me, but I can power through for an hour or two.

@ā€œantilleseā€#p117006 I'll be there!

@ā€œantilleseā€#p117006 no invite for me this time???

@ā€œKarnovskiā€#p117049 Hold on let me check the inviteā€¦

# Calling All Crediters: Insert Credit Fight Night Episode;Next1 (Credit Inserter) is happening Friday May 26th at 8 PM Pacific Daylight Time

  • - Come for the camaraderie! Stay to see me just get absolutely destroyed by my fighting game forum friends!
  • - You get knocked down? Just DP again!
  • - Ask medium-advanced questions about parry option-selects that I am not qualified to answer!
  • - Real-time [drink checks](https://forums.insertcredit.com/d/1255-drink-check-thread/451) will be in full effect!
  • - Picking Chun-Li and SA2 is legal for this event so @"Karnovski"#983 "Best in the Dakotas" will be wrecking everyone.
  • I suggest we use the Insert Credit Adjacent Discord for voice chatting and hanging out and I'll try to stream my matches.

    about the street fighter 6 demo (playing on ps4):

    the tutorial you get when you boot up the game actually got me in the habit of grab breaking, which is something I'd never done semi-regularly before. neat! also i connected to the unique systems of the game a lot more than i ever did with SFV. i think i'm really gonna like this.

    also i'm not touching world tour until the game comes out, and i won't elaborate why! (i don't really know why)

    also virtua fighter still da GOAT

    @ā€œantilleseā€#p117056 I'm up for getting destroyed in some games, is there a link to the discord anywhere?

    Do you perchance have an invite link? Just echoing @CoolGuy87

    And what fighting game forum do you use? I've had bad luck in the past finding a good one.

    @ā€œantilleseā€#p117056 thatā€˜s more like it!

    Iā€™ve got band practice that night but should be done before yall get started.

    I haven't played cvs2 since before I got INTO fighting games more seriously, so that'll be interesting to hop on. As for 3s, I will switch characters every few rounds. Chun was just practice to for the local tournament.

    @ā€œKingTubbā€#p117106

    Sa2 Chun is never illegal, it's just, you know, high advantage lol.

    Here's the discord link too.

    The last time Karnovski and I played _Third Strike_ I certainly felt like I was the victim of a crime!

    This one. SRK and MMCafe don't exist anymore and I'm about hanging out with my friends who enjoy the games instead of flame wars.

    @ā€œantilleseā€#p117134 Iā€™m about hanging out with my friends who enjoy the games instead of flame wars.

    Yeah that was my experience. IC is such a lovely place, don't have to deal with that anymore!

    Hope I can catch a little bit of the stream!

    I'm definitely looking forward to street fighter VI. they look like they're back on track to me, and that janky world mode looks great, and maybe I can just forget V ever existed, aside from that first absolutely batshit Capcom Cup when nuckeldu and ricki ortiz were in the finals, which was great.
