Fighting Games?

[honey pack]

I really want to try some fighter games. I'm thinking something along the lines of Street Fighter style. Are there any good ones in the steam store? I need suggestions.

There's probably more.. nobody mentioned Rag-Doll Kung-Fu yet.

This looks Smash Bros.'y to me. Is Smash Bros. considered a Street Fighter-esque fighting game? I never really considered these type of games to be Street-Fighter-ish, as unlike in SF you have maneuverable maps (instead of just the non-interactive backgrounds). Also, that Kung-Fu game in particular seems to be missing actual characters with distinctive abilities, which, in my opinion, is something which also sort of defines fighting games - being able to choose various characters with different sets of moves and health/agility advantages or disadvantages.
Eh, your call, I guess.

KoF games are a day-one buy for me! :D

The KoF games along with Skullgirls are a day-one pre-order for me!

Corrected.

Ehhh, even if I still hear good things about that game (is unfortunate that its devs had problems) I'd wait a bit before buying that.

Does it play like a KoF/SF rather than a MvC/SFxT?

The latter.

It has been "THING"ed.

I didn't say Batman was like Street Fighter... I said you can't go wrong with the Batman games as "fighter games".

Those are beat-em-ups. Completely different genre.

What you're doing is like saying that Ikaruga and Call of Duty are FPSes because they both involve shooting.

Uhm, I'll stick to my original statement then.

To add to that, it now has been updated to patch 1.06. Not SFxT2013 like on consoles (I've heard they are working on that and are trying to get it out faster than they did with this update), but it should fix most online (lag-related) problems people have had before the patch and do some other stuff neat I guess. also various colours have been added to the customization page (and now you can make your characters BLACK. HOBOY!)

In addition, the Character DLC has been released on Steam. It includes 12 new characters (6 SF, 6 Tekken), and can be bought for $5.00 until Febraury 20th and for $19.99 from then on.

Also, seconding this:

Batman = beat-em-up

As I see this thread, asking for "Street Fighter-type games", we are not looking for beat-em-ups, shoot-em-ups, 3D games with 360° controls, and probably not even brawlers, but games that most likely should have:

• Selectable characters with different attributes (health, size, look)
  
• + different move-sets (e.g. hadouken)
  
• 2D fighting (can't move towards the screen / away from the screen)
  
• Fighting in "rounds" (min. 1 round), winning the match after beating the opponent
  
• Usually 1v1 fighting (max. 2 teams, normally 2 fighters on the screen at once)
  
• Usually the option to fight as any character in the game (bosses may be excluded)
  
• A health bar system for both your character as well as the opponent

Something like that.

Since you seem to know the game, could you elaborate a bit on SFxT's gem system?

As I've understood they're equippable gems that boost your stats while fighting. Are they store only? Do they unbalance the game?
I'm quite a scrub and the last thing I want is getting my ass whopped by another scrub but with more DLC packs than me...

Sadly, I can't tell you THAT much about the game, as I've pretty much only played it when I got it (for 12.7hrs). I've only played it with mates on my friendlist, and those all prefer games like Guilty Gear-type games (read: 2-minute-combos) over Street Fighter and rarely played with me, and the game had heavy lag issues at times. The patch that came to PC yesterday should fix those issues, so I might try to get those people to play with me again, but as I haven't played online I haven't seen any gems but the default ones in use.

As far as I can remember, gems boost some status of yours for some seconds upon being activated (how they are depends on the gem, some do by getting hit by normal attacks, some by special moves, some by hitting your opponent with a specific type of move). You have some in the initial game (so you don't need to buy some DLC to get the "starters"), and there are stronger boosts available, which usually drop another status in return.

Say, one gem has +10% damage for 5 seconds, and the other has +15% for 5 seconds, but slows you down by 5% to compensate that boost. As far as I can remember (from reading some DLC-gems in the store back when I bought the game), those you can buy usually make that more extreme. Say, +20% attack power for 5 seconds, but for that -15% movement speed. Boosting something more than the default versions, but giving you a bigger penalty as well.

If you play with friends or people who you can communicate with, you naturally can agree on using some gems, and you have the ability to use no gems for your characters as well.
So, if you play the game with someone, you can simply agree on using no gems at all if you both don't like them. I don't think that it'll be easy to do that in ranked mode, though.
If you want to play gem-less, it's probably best to play with mates (and agree on whatever setting via the Steam chat) or to go endless and try to find someone who wants to play gem-less with you. If you get into the game like that you'll probably get "used" to gems (as in, have more of an idea/opinion on their upsides and their downsides) and'll be able to play with or against those, eh.

Sorry if that wasn't too helpful! As I've said, I haven't played it for too long, and have put the game on hold (at least until now) as well, so I may not be completely right on everything I've written. I hope it at least helped you somewhat, though!

Thanks Gurimoe! To be honest I've passed on this SFxT deal because I'm not really 100% sure... at least Skullgirls, which I've seen some videos of, seems way more simpler even if its gameplay isn't really my piece of cake.
