Tournaments are coming back and I need to give you the heads up on what's going to happen. Maybe it's your first time, maybe you forget - but people out there are something else. Usually harmless, sometimes not. I'm here to teach you what to expect with this new guide.

I went to my first fighting game tourney last month and I was admittedly the lurker at the beginning. But then I was standing right next to this guy around my age who was ALSO lurking. 5-10 mins of just standing there watching matches and I finally said fuck it and introduced myself, said it was my first tournament. Dude looked absolutely RELIEVED and said it was his first tournament too. Played some matches after we got knocked out of bracket and just had a good time, I met some other really cool people too. Jiyuna's right, introduce yourself!! :)

I met a Kevin, The Chatter, The Lurker, No gamblers yet, and the drifter was a friend of my. To get out of the Lurker Zone(I used to be one) I suggest going to casuals and offer to play that way its not that awkward. If you bad at the game politely ask for tips and if your solid at the game people will respect you and make sure to get player information that way you can build relationships with your community. Or try to go with a friend and if you are that friend make sure to introduce that friend. great Video Jiyuna. I think we need ones for: 6. The Community Dad/Mom the old player who looks out for everyone and everyone respect regardless if he is good or not. 7. The fighting game foreigner the guy who may be a Street Fighter player but has no experience playing Blazblue but likes and ask question just to learn about it. You offer to let him play but he never plays. 8. The comedian the guy who knows how to make everyone laugh and trendset things during tournament. (Jiyuna, Tasty Steve, Aris, Shiosha, and etc) 9. The casual beast is the guy who may not take the game that serious but he can do all the high execution stuff and is solid at everything but he super not hardcore at it. Though his skill proves other wise 10. One and doner the guy who enters a tournament and might be pretty decent to good but never shows up again.

I used to be the chatter back in the day. Eventually as I got older and clamed down, I got batter at stopping myself once I realized I was nerding out. I REFUSE to make youtube videos.

@mikaela5938 3 жыл бұрын

@Deleted_Alt 3 жыл бұрын

@@mikaela5938 Believe it or not, they started off making fighting games based off VNs before even Melty Blood! Back in 1998 they made the super budget, but super fun, The Queen of Heart '98. A fighting game featuring chibi version of characters from the VN "To Heart". The game sold enough to get a sequel the very next year, The Queen of Heart '99. Not only was that an improvement on the original, it showed Watanabe's interest in the competitive scene as they took the time to improve the balance further with a second release known as The Queen of Heart '99 SE (Second Edition). Just a year after that We got The Queen of Heart 2001, with the main title of Party's Breaker. This game was quite the interesting one as it now included some characters from the dating sim ComiPa. From there things got even weirder, with Glove on Fight. This basically looked like a newgrounds flash game and had characters from various series including Kanon characters and even Dejiko from Di Gi Charat. The game was far less of a traditional fighter, focusing more on boxing gameplay with a balance of punching and dodging. It did get a sequel that was much improved over the first, but there was something special about seeing Dejiko be a literal gorilla beating the shit out of Ayu for the first time. Legit look up her gameplay. Arms down, no brow havin' gorilla ass pose. Finally they made Melty Blood, saw that sweet sweet parking lot tourney money, and decided they were too good to be called Watanabe anymore and changed to French Bread shortly after. Speaking of Kanon, one of their non-fighting game games from back then was a side scrolling beat 'em up known as Mamono Hunter Mai which was a spinoff from Kanon. It was pretty fun honestly. Other than that they made Air Flight: The 61th Winter(not a typo, that's how it's written on the box art)which I never played. By the looks of it, it's some weird ass Flicky knock-off where you collect egg looking cats and take them to the exit. It's also based off a VN known as AIR. They still made shovelware as French Bread, like Drill Milky Punch which was a competitive top down game with age(porn game devs who made Muv-Luv) characters where you tried to kill more enemies than everyone else but oh man... it's a weird one. I'll leave it to you to look up some gameplay but it's not what you'd expect from a game featuring porn game characters. These games are all on PC since they were mostly doujin tier titles (legit I think they used to debut the games at comiket) but they're so old you might not be able to play on modern hardware. Personally I still cry for my old copy of '99 SE as it sits there, waiting for a Windows 98 PC to play it once more. I really should just set up a Windows 98 sandbox already. I hope you get to play some of these games eventually since they're all pretty fun honestly.
