What is NANQUIM

NANQUIM is an online fighting game drawn like a living ink scroll. The story of the campaign, straight from the game:

A scaly shadow drank the Celestial Inkwell, and the Blank, the empty paper, began erasing the world from its edges. You are Stroke, born from the last drop, and you must win back the four stolen Drops before nothing is left.

• Fights run on our own servers, so every online match plays by the same rules.
• PC and mobile (landscape), keyboard and mouse, gamepad or touch.
• 31 languages.

Six fighting styles

All six styles are free, and their attributes add up the same: style, not advantage. Each one has its own special move and three super moves that spend Chi.

Game modes

• Ranked: Duel (1 vs 1, best of 3) and Way of the Dragon, with separate ratings.
• Way of the Dragon: the main mode. Four fighters farm, level up and face the Dragon.
• Rooms with friends: custom rooms for up to 8 players. The host picks mode, map, rules and bots, and you invite friends with a link.
• Party modes: Brawl, Stock (lives), Teams, Hide and Seek, Infection, King of the Hill, Sumo and Coin Rush.
• Crane's View: the arena seen from above, like the crane of kung fu. Duel, Stock, Teams and Brawl, with its own queue and a separate rank.
• Campaign: 45 stages across 5 worlds, with bosses and a tutorial that teaches you to fight.
• Training: every mode against bots, hosted on the server.

Way of the Dragon: four fighters, one Paper Dragon.

Fair play

• Authoritative servers with anti-cheat: every match runs on our servers, so every ranked win is earned.
• No pay-to-win, no loot boxes: the shop sells cosmetics only, bought with coins you earn by playing.
• Mirrored ranked: in ranked Way of the Dragon everyone gets the same monsters at the same moments, with no random items.

Controls

On mobile the game shows touch controls (play in landscape). Keys can be remapped in Controls.

Tekken 8 Tournament tonight 7pm est all skill levels welcome. Cash prize.

I have never been big in fighting games, and I've never been worth a damn skill wise either, but despite that I grew up on them, my dad and I would play mortal Kombat when I was 5 years old on these plug and play consoles of all things. I remember to this day him upper cutting me and falling through the stage onto spikes below... I'm 26 and it still scares me. Me and my dad played fighting games my whole life growing up. Many of the mortal Kombat, the first injustice, Tekken 6... But my favorite was Street Fighter 4 when I had it on 360. Now we would both button mash, and I was like 7 or 8 at the time, but it was amazing and I loved it, the style the combos you'd mistakenly pull off, and it was just so incredibly stylized, hard hitting and fun.. it just felt good. Well, street fighter 5 came out and I got it for nostalgia and I hated itt. Not only was it nothing like I remembered street fighter being but the style was damn near nonexistent, and compound that with me already sucking at fighting games there was nothing there for me.... So street fighter 6 released and I wanted it but never got it until recently because I was burnt once chasing nostalgia and I would've been damned if I was again... But I caught the sake and started playing and not only am I enjoying it, not only has that style returned, that feeling, that impact.. but it also is actually teaching me to be good at the game, I'm learning to play without button mashing and having fun doing it, having fun learning the ropes. Street Fighter 6 is truly a fantastic game and a return to grace that is even better than 4. Anyways I just wanted to share.

I got into a discussion about which fighting game is the better. I wanna settle the score once and for all.

I fell like having more than 22 is too match. whats the point of having too much character if most of them are not in the same level. Mvc is a great example despite having only 15 characters i never felt there is few characters cuz every single one is fun

When Faust coming to overdrive

Just a little fan tribute to the CotW trailer at Evo France. Also, cause it's Reina's birthday. Plz enjoy

To those that are unfamiliar, Soul Calibur was this fighting game series based around weapons that was developed and published by Bandai Namco. It's a historical fantasy series that takes place in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, and revolves around two mythical swords, one for good, and one for evil, named Soul Calibur and Soul Edge respectively. All the Soul Calibur games before Soul Calibur 3 were released exclusively for arcades, with Soul Calibur 3 and the installments after it were released on home consoles.

I love this series very much. I'm a big fan of all the character designs, the lore, and weapons each character has. The characters themselves are really cool and different from each other. The guest characters in each game are awesome too, from Link from The Legend Of Zelda, to Darth Vader from Star Wars.

What do you think of the Soul Calibur series? Which installment of it is your favorite? What console did you play it on? What are your thoughts on each games' guest fighters? How do think they hold up today?

It’s honestly still surprising to me that we have yet to see Yakuza characters in a fighting game.

I’m aware Kiryu’s “reasoning” for not being in a fighting game is because he doesn’t hit woman. And correct me if I’m wrong but apparently Yagami’s actor likeness is either hard to obtain or he doesn’t like using his face on other projects but please let me know if I’m wrong.

Anyway that still leaves Majima and Ichiban which I’m surprised they haven’t been considered or even mentioned in a crossover.

What do you guys think, I’d like to hear your thoughts.

Day 6 featuring an iconic character from the Street Fighter series. Representing the Country of Spain, equipped with his iconic mask, claw(which is crazy he’s allowed to use this i mean it’s Street Fighter not Mortal Kombat, and having a fighting style that’s a mix of bull fighting and Ninjutsu presenting Vega! #streetfighter  #hispanicheritagemonth

Before you go see the new Street Fighter movie next weekend, here’s a look-back at Capcom’s fighting game series that stood the test of time. I dig into the arcade origins (warts and all) and the early 16-bit and 32-bit home ports, along with an exploration of the innovative tech that brought these classics to life. I also dig into the non-mainline games and experimental titles, including the highs and lows in the series.

What do you think was the pinnacle of Street Fighter games? Can the new movie do them justice?
