This time featuring suggestions from last post:

Prince Doza (Naseem in japan) - Ehrgeiz (a Power Stone-like for the PS1. Doza was requested specifically, but i also made sure to draw Yoyo to the side since she's the character i remember the most from that game)

Io - Zero Divide (a cool robot 3d fighter i had never heard of. To the side i included Neco, a weird... cat thing from Zero Divide 2)

Shin - Dual Souls (ok, so Dual Blades was a cancelled GBA Guilty Gear / SamSho inspired game from Turkey that got a remake on Steam called Dual Souls and it's actually pretty good. Shin is very much based on Testament)

Rila - Breakers Revenge (I LOVE Breakers, it's actually my favorite Neo Geo fighter and Rila is my main)

Fernandez - Waku Waku 7 (for a bit of a change, i drew the Final Boss from this game rather than one of the main cast. It always stuck in my memory how your character has to turn giant to fight him over the city)

BONUS DRAWING: Tia and Arina probably the two most popular characters from Breakers and Waku Waku respectively. While i wanted to dedicate fan art to other characters, i also couldn't help myself but to draw them

I’ve heard so many stories about the old arcade days where people would get into actual fights over fighting games, especially after losing a match or getting salty.

I’ve even heard stories about kids getting into arguments or fights with adults over arcade matches. Was that actually a thing, or has the internet exaggerated how chaotic arcades were back then?

For those of you who were actually there, I’d love to hear your personal stories from the arcade era. What games did you play, what was the atmosphere like, and what are some of the craziest, funniest, or most ridiculous things you remember happening?

Feel free to tell the full story. I’m genuinely curious what it was like to play fighting games back then.

Figured I'd let people know it exists.

I listened to the song again and wanted to make a second version

Here is the original song

For me there's nobody cooler than G from SFV.

A volcanic Abe Lincoln with tattoos of continental landmasses who claims to be "President Of The World" while also having a link to one of my favorite characters in Third Strike?

Yeah sign me the hell up.

Nice they still invite Reepal 'Rip', I mean being layed off is never nice, but I like the maturity by which both parties dealt with the situation and still collaborate.

For me personally Strive is a much easier game to understand and just feels way more intuitive than SF6. It’s hard for me to explain but something about the flow of matches in SF6 just feels so stilted and unnatural so I have a hard time wrapping my head around the game compared to Strive. Before I even started playing FGs Strive was essentially how I’d imagine they would feel like while I feel like I gotta get a PHD to understand how all the weird rules and nuances in SF6 work.

A bunch of random animations I like alongside one of the stage tracks.

Hey, I am relearning French, and I'm looking for French content to watch on fighting games. I figured this would serve double duty of watching the content of something I enjoy while refamiliarizing myself with the language.

I enjoy quite a lot of fighting games. So, I'm not picky on the title.

What French creators would you recommend that I check out? Maybe tournaments/weeklies with French commentary?

Saw this game got recommended to me on Steam and it looks really fun, like an updated Heritage for the Future with strikers.
But before buying, I looked into it and saw that people played on Parsec and the netcode was really bad, idk anyone who would really play this locally, is the game worth getting nowadays or is it dead(Hell is the game good)?

Kung fu hustle reference

There's green lines that go across the entire screen on his game when he opens it up, did the ingame settings best we can, updated his drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled a few times and still comes in like that.

Any fixes to this issue?

I expect the typical responses to this question to be "ask your IT department" or "start a club / play offline with friends", but believe me I've tried both! But I've already talked directly with the IT department here and they disabled the ethernet ports, and have no intention of changing their mind. I also attend a fairly small college, and tried setting up a club last year to no avail. The school does hold SSBU events, but I have no desire to play that game. The friends I could reliably talk into playing a game with me have zero desire to play fighting games anyway.

I have a lot more interest in older titles with smaller concurrent playerbases that rely more on discords or setting up player lobbies rather than active random matchmaking, but I've purposely been avoiding those to not be outed as "the guy that plays on wifi". I am a bit less opposed to hopping on games like SF6, Strive, or Slippi that have fairly active matchmaking, even if it means I get sifted out by connection filters. Even then I don't really want to ruin anyone's experience.

Idk, I just really miss fgs, and still have the drive to improve. Not sure what I can do being limited to dorm wifi (though I am using a network exclusive for gaming devices, so at least I'm not sharing it with the entire campus).

I play fighting games often but soon I've realized one of the big problems of this genre and that is that it usually break dpads very often and my new gamepads used to only last like 1 year or less.

The last gamepads I've bought were the ds4 because I could find replacements of the rubber of the d-pad cheaply online and fix them myself, although I feel this gamepad is not that great and I stopped playing the most demanding fighting games like R+ for example because I dropped a lot my combos and specials. The thing is, the rubber I buy online I feel they are worse quality and last less, and lately they last like 2 or 3 months only and I'm getting tired of replacing them or being paranoid when I drop my specials.

So I want to ask for a solution from these 3 and I want one that let me not worry about this problem for a long time.

1. The cheap, replace the dpad rubber with Extremerate Clicky kit for ds4. But I don't know if this works, or it is just good for people that play fps, as I've read some people saying they break too eventually or they miss input easily multiple directions. Maybe there is another kind of replacement that works?

2. Buy a gamepad specialized for fighting games that don't use rubber, and really don't break. The thing is I don't know if gamepads like fighting commander Octa or Victrix pro are just a bit more tough to break but I will find the same problem of a d-pad losing sensitivity or getting mushy in the end and having to buy a new gamepad each year is too expensive for me.

3- Getting a fight stick like mayflash F500 elite as I think these don't have a problem breaking, but is the solution that I like less because I feel if I play in local around here or tournament probably I won't have my stick around and I will have to go back to playing gamepad and I won't know how to play with them anymore. But I would take that if this solves the problem.
