it is broken because you can hotkey combos into the gamepad so online is a joke
I Just don't use them. TTT2 is fun as SH!T. But yeah to the online thing; they should have disabled them in online play. Never stopped me from winning online though.
I would love to see more fighters on Wii U though, like DOA and a new Mortal Kombat...:unsure:

PS4 would last longer than PS3. Guilty Gear XRD btw.


I've had my PS3 since launch and never had a problem... I wouldn't invest in a PS4 until a price drop if you just want to play Street Fighter though not even Ultra is coming to it. Also, there are more people playing the 360 so if you want to improve I would definitely get a 360 and game pad.

Tekken Tag 2 is great and Injustice very well done. I think there's lack of new fighting games regardless of platform.

I own Tekken Tag believe me it is broken because you can hotkey combos into the gamepad so online is a joke since everyone can perform the hardest combos with ease
Being able to execute silly combos is not particularly a matter of skill, just how often you played the game. The skill is in knowing when to use them. Having to memorize massive combos just raises the entry bar.

To be fair Tekken has always been stupid in forcing you to memorize stupidly long combos with precise timing and makes half the game a terrible memory game and the other half a mediocre 3D fighter. There's a reason fighting games have shifted towards simplified combos (like Marvel vs. Capcom 3).

Also if you want a fighting game platform, get a Vita. Has practically everything minus a more modern Street Fighter.

I have injustice and its really good. It's harder, more complicated and challenging than super smash Bros, and the graphics are very nice.

There's Tekken Tag 2, Injustice, Street Fighter 2 (VC) and others.

Currently my favourite is TT2 but I haven't touched that in a while due to playing Mario 3D World.

Btw, if you're good enough you can easily over-take the lazy players who just tap on the screen for the combos.

Yo, fellow fighter here! :)

These are not Wii U titles per se, but the Wii had a fair share of goodies that'll keep you entertained on your Wii U as well:

1. Guilty Gear XX Accent Core (Plus)*
2. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom (Wii exclusive)
3. King of Fighters Collection: The Orochi Saga
4. Samurai Shodown Anthology
5. Bleach: Shattered Blade
6. Naruto Clash of Ninja series
7. Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
8. Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion

I may have missed a few, but to say the Wii has no fighting games would be stupid. Wii U adds a few to the list such as Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Injustice. More may come, Arc System Works even showed interest in a Wii U port of Xrd if there's enough demand. If you're a real Guilty Gear fan you'd not wait for Xrd, though. Did you not see those dust attacks in the announcement trailer? Or the priority guard system? Yuck!

If you want a great system for fighting games then your best bet is either a PS3 or PC. (If only for more options in buying a good arcade stick.) Some of the better stuff is available on PS3 like BlazBlue: Chronophantasma and Persona 4: Arena. Xrd is also maling its way to PS3 if you're really, REALLY, into it. I'm personally not and have played Guilty Gear since the first version on PlayStation. Far prefer #R to any of the current versions, but Accent Core Plus is very good.

*This one supports 480p and since it's 4:3, upscaled on a Wii U via HDMI it looks gorgeous. It's as sharp as Accent Core Plus (PSN version) on a PS3 via HDMI. I play on a 46" Sony BRAVIA TV and it's definitely Guilty Gear on my Wii U over the PS3 any day. Just remember to play with a Classic Controller Pro (which to me feels more precise than a DualShock 3) or if you want an arcade stick look on eBay for the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom stick and mod it with Sanwa parts. It's made by Mad Catz and is super cheap. It also has a switch that changes the behaviour of the joystick (to have it simulate the D-pad or the analog stick on a Classic Controller, making it compatible with Smash).

Hope this helps.

Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom deserves to have a sequel that game was and still is awesome to play.

One of my favourite fighting games on any system.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
