I think you and Max should have these types of conversations and release them on youtube or live on stream

The discovery is 80% of the enjoyment in a new fighting game. It dosen't matter if your familiar with the IP or not the finding of tech, options, optimal damage combos, how to deal with X or Y move..I love when a new fighter drops.

I think Max gets it more how casual players think, Justin always thinks from a pro player perspective ( because he's a pro player duh)

always tried to get into fighting games, never really been able to. Now GG Strive might actually do it, I absolutely love it and am even able to win online games! Currently on floor 6

Honestly, just play whatever floats your boat. I tried out BlazBlue as my first fighting game, and here I am with 10 mains.

I think this goes hand-in-hand with some of his other real talk videos on how to "get good" at fighting games. Other players will say that it is best to get into one that is fresh because everyone is essentially trying to learn the game. Net code is important too. Now, I stick to Fightcade but those Brazilians terrify me, no lie.

SNK v capcom for neogeo handheld was amazing

The clear answer is Plasma Sword. When nobody else plays your game, you win by default!

Not gonna lie these reacts and the tournament breakdowns you do are some of my favorite vids from you

Me, too! I got into different fighting games because I tryed them out and I'm still giving unknown fighting games a chance until it boils down to my favorites.

Maaaan. I sooo wanted to be watching this interview yesterday

"I just like playing, I don't care if the other player is better". I feel like this separates people like JWongg from a lot of players, myself included. I love fighting games and have played them since I was like..7. My first memory of fighting games was dicking around On Killer Instinct on SNES (before anyone thinks I’m an old head, I’m 25). My first hardcore game was VF4. I’ve been a fan of them my whole life. That being said, if I had the choice between playing a similarly skilled player but having to wait an extended amount of time or playing the expert level higher skilled player now, I’d rather wait. Especially with fighting games like Guilty Gear and the Marvel series (and really all the V.S ones too including Skullgirls), playing against dudes and chicks who know how to land split second combo resets and crazy infinites and can teabag you while killing you with just assist characters is not fun. Players that have a firm grasp on gattlings and magic series to rip your spine a new asshole while you’re just trying to land SOMETHING is not fun IMO. The most fun I’ve had in fighting games is when I play someone where it’s close and borderline down to the wire. That’s where it’s most inten and where I have the most fun. Should people play whatever the fuck they want? Hell yeah. Absolutely. For people like myself though, it’s a bit more of a struggle though.

Great video man, keep up the great content, take care

This is a crossover I didn't know I need in my life. Great stuff doods!

I love this crossover, please do it more often

I'm lucky enough to know multiple groups of fighting game players that hang out & play locally. The most popular games with these groups is newer stuff: Guilty Gear Strive, Dead or Alive 6, Street Fighter V, Tekken 7, Soul Calibur 6, Samurai Shodown, Granblue Fantasy Versus, KOF XIV I prefer more niche/classic stuff: Under Night In-Birth, Capcom vs SNK 2, Ultra Street Fighter IV, Project Justice, Mortal Kombat XL, KOF XI

Yeah I've practiced the Daigo parry in the PS3 3rd Strike Online Edition. That got me into the game and loving all parrying systems.

Justin, I would love a video where you explain how you go about figuring out combos and other tech for a character.

It should be about what appeals to you. Do you like the design do the characters look cool? Alot of of factors come into play.

You and Max are my 2 gav FGC players and channels much love bro

What got me seriously into fighting games? Even though i starts from Street fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat Xmen vs Street fighter was THE game that got me in. Doing a Superjump, Air combo and a Shinku Hadoken BEAM!! was so sick!!

The first post launch month of chess must of been insane

Watching your tournament game play inspired me to get mvc2. I play local vs with my buddies but we always have a great time. Even if we are just casuals

I’ll always be a street fighter traditional player. I started with MK but I feel in love with the Shoto archetype. It’s just so versatile and fun to have all those tools. Plus I love the feel of street fighter games. Can’t wait for SFVI someday.

Great vid , you should do a vid on fighting lingo and phrases etc

I love those Harper emotes so much, it's adorable.

I was 1 of those people who loved 3rd Strike before evo37. I recognize that not all sf2 fans transitioned over to sf3. Evo moment 37 lit a fire underneath older players, casuals, and new fans. Moment 37 was important for fans, fighting games and the whole gaming industry all together. We wouldn't have eports today as we know it without moment 37. Me as a fan and as a gamer owes a huge thanks to You Justin Wong and Diago Umehara. You 2 helped change the course of history. Fighting games were close to being a dead genre with the death of the arcade scene until moment 37 happened. Because of moment 37 we got sf4, esports and everything that came after.

Whatever game you like that you will be willing to sit down and play through trials and training mode to a degree that combos flow out of your character naturally. All of the reasoning above is good but he never really said anything about FGC reasoning. I am not a pro player but the reason why Jwong is very good is his stage fright is minimal. When you are playing in a tournament whether it's online or in real life there is an exposure factor and that additional pressure can make you miss things that you 'know' but haven't recorded to your muscles. The difference between a casual fighter and a pro player is the consistency in them remembering a key combo, and recognizing when they need to use it. A casual fighter might be good enough to see an opening in combat and get a counter blow or a sneak attack in but they will not be able to capitalize on it for this reason. All of this leads back to the previous statement which is, did you iron your basics down to that degree? A simplified game like this new Guilty Gear still has key combos and because the limit is so small it does mean that it's less for you to memorize so that way you can spend more time learning what makes other characters good or bad against your character. Jwong previously talked about KF15 but if you are a new viewer to the channel and you haven't watched him clear all the trials for all characters in it and see him put in the practice, and when/if he does play it will be wondering how he got so sick and if it's a good time to get into it, you'll realize he put a couple of months into training and that's why, so any time after he finished those trials was 'when' for him. For a person playing 1 character it will be when you master that 1 character. Usually 1 character at a time is best.

Yeah I would legit enjoy watching a collaboration video with Max and Justin.

That first month that Marvel vs Capcom 3 was out was one of my favorite times in fighting game history. The hype was real!

Okay, at this point, I'm not going to be surprised if there's a reaction to Fighting Games Are Food. 😆

KoF 2002 and Alpha 2 is pretty much all FG all I need

I wanna get in on Strive. Hoping for some tips from JWoooooong

Justin reacting to Max’s videos my worlds collide 👍

It's Guilty Gear most of the time, for me. Another one I used to enjoy is Soul Calibur.

I want a fighting game podcast with Justin and Max now.

the best era of fighting games is back in arcade days which feels like you are in an actual arena and waiting for a worthy challenge and build good friendship along the way... sadly, we do not have that now that is why every fighting games now deserves a shot

I feel like when you play new games online you want the opponent to be better, you learn and start to pick up on what to do at what moments

Just got into Fighting Games on a hardcore aspect the last 3 months. & during that time I have bought 65 or so 2D Fighting Games from PS2-PS5, Dreamcast & Switch. I don't really play them online if the game has it. I just enjoy playing the CPU over and over again. When I feel more comfortable of what I'm doing I’ll get online. But I do agree with you with Mortal Kombat. I don't feel like the movement just flows from 1 move to another. Anyway, I'm 40 so I'm just enjoying these Games. KOF 2002 UM & CvS2 is definitely my 2 favorite from all the 100 or so Fighting Games I have & ever played.

Pocket Fighter. It slaps.

Skullgirls , SMASH ultimate , Arcus Chroma and Two Strikes are the best for discovering fighting games imo !

My first fighting game was Kof XIII the trials may be difficult but the feeling you get when you pull them off is like a high that makes you keep playing and cause of the difficulty of those trials when i play a different fighting game i gravitate to the hardest characters to play the game im enjoying right now and put alot of time in is tekken 7 my mains being steve fox and Bryan, and Im a low tier warrior as well playing gannon, little mac in smash bros, Faust in gg strive, strive being easy to pick up is a good start and Dragon ball fighterz because even though they are easy to pick up there is still Depht to the game when it comes to optimization on Combos to get max damage and finding new Tech to push characters to their limits.

Best game to get into fighting game is early KoF and SvC chaos all super easy with fair final bosses. GOOD LUCK

My start was Street Fighter Online actually. It certainly bends a few rules here and there regarding the formula, but I had a LOT of fun. When I started digging in, I went to Melty Blood and Akatsuki Blitzkampf, given I was stuck in poverty.

When i saw heaven or hell announced in guilty gear, i knew im going to love. Same feeling i had when saw sub zero remove the head and spine in mk in the arcarde. Love at first sight. Too bad i became a scorpian main lol.

Killer instinct for snes was my first fighting game and now at 33 I love fighting games

I hope that if we ever get MvC2 tournaments again, I hope there is a "standard tournament setting thatis current for the year, and then maybe changes the next year. So the meta isnt "which character is the best" but instead "which character is the best in this year's settings." So like, maybe 2022 is Damage 1, but slow timer. Maybe 2023 is 60 seconds normal timer, but max damage to force rapid frantic matches. That would be the coolest thing to watch and play in.

Damn, make your own.

I don’t know what games people should play considering i played a lot of titles. But I recommend games that have big community and a lot of people are still playing it.

I'd recommend older fighting games, because unfortunately no fighting game that was released in the last decade is great imo, but sadly nobody plays games that are 5+ years old, at least online, so the best recommendation I can give is Virtua Fighter Ultimate Showdown, it's the best game to be released as of late (even though it's technically over 10 years old) with a somewhat active community.

I would love a game that would firstly bring back Mike Ross and Gooteks. I want a Cross Counter that’s worth watching

I started street fighter V super late. So that is sometimes a factor that you cannot cope up with, but of you have passion for the game, the chars, lore or of you like the game overall because of the history it carries on its back, everything is ok. The thing is that, the right question is, what are you expecting to acomplish when jumping into a FG? because its gonna break your heart and you will get pissed, end up in disbelief when going online against players with levels that are beyoooond yours, just and only because of pure experience and a better mechanics understanding.

i really agree with that sentiment of "if you see something and you think is looks sick and you wanna go out and do that" you shouldnt let anything stop you. if there is no community for the game, you can start it. this mostly applies for older games i think

Street Fighter 5 is easy to learn, tons of characters, and lots of personality. Highly entertaining.

Support the boi!

I get into all fighting games especially mortal Kombat mortal Kombat and marvel vs Capcom 2 Tekken soul calibur

My first fighting game was Street Fighter II: World Warrior, back in 1993. I never owned a game console growing up, so I spent time in the arcades playing fighting games. Dealt with the AI input reading bs in those 90s fighting games, and dealt with scrubs and top level players as well. It wasn't till I started living on my own is when I started owning some game consoles like the Sega Dreamcast, and the PS2. Nowadays, I don't own none at all. I play some retro fighting games on my laptop through emulation.

Depends for me what you want, casuals who just want to explore, id advise something from the sailor moon franchise. If you want something with an active community to test yourself and get better, something newer like SFV, Smash Ult, GG strive, KOFXV (when it’s released) and so on Although older games are still quality they are often only on older systems, not all of them have online, and if they do you just get creamed by everyone.

I have BBTag, Skullgirls, SFV, Tekken 7, USF4, Virtua Fighter 5, DragonBall FighterZ, Smash Melee, Smash Brawl, MK11, MK10, and even Naruto Shippuden UNS 4! All these games taught me that there is no way I'm going to be good right off the bat. But that's what makes fighting games so fun! You can challenge yourself to learn and grow with your favorite character. Eventually, you'll get to a point where you could fight somebody new to the game and realizing how far you've come from that point in time. Fighting games are an amazing way to achieve a sense of "controlling your thoughts and emotions!" Like Max said: if the game looks awesome, then go for it. Worst case scenario, it wasn't for you and there's probably a better game out there.

I thought I was on Max's youtube, whoops

I wanna get into Marvel vs Capvom but I don‘t know which one. Mvci has good Netcode, umvc3 looks crazy fun but has terrible Netcode and you need to pay for parsec. Mvc2 is playable on Fightcade but is it legal?

Have played almost every new-ish fighting game and I just bought tekken 7 and it's one of my favourites so far, tons of depth and stuff to improve on and i really enjoy the neutral

4:45 this why you my brother J

hes right about the new games and waiting for the ultimate editions..... l got injustice 2 cause l never got to play it back than, so l buy it now and its so hard to get into cause either not alot of people play it or the nectros are still playing it and lm getting bodied......makes the new experience feel bad

My first fighting game was SF4. But now Im relatively old, have less time to play and have a hard time memorizing long combos, I gravitated towards new Samsho (shame it;s pretty much dead now with shitty netcode. Played my first offline tournament and some online with it. My user is Shadekill.

I was thinking about getting into strive but I really don't want to cause of the neutch I'd love to get into mvc2 if there was a mode with the points system. I might be wrong but it feels less daunting to do that than picking a top tier team and fighting other established teams. that said it needs to be freed first. #freemvc2

I am really looking forward to the League of Legends fighting game. I like Dragon Ballz Fighterz but I do not know anything about the characters as I am a bit old to watch the cartoons. I played League long enough to know all the characters.

!! I LOVE FIGHTING GAMES !! I LOVE FOGHTIN GAMES !! I LOVE FIGHTING GAMES !! I LOVE FIGHTING GAMES!! I LOVE FIGHTING GAMES!!

My first game Street Fighter II

Max and Justin show when?

I came into fighting games because of SNK

My least favorite fighting game series is Super Smash Bros. because the series doesn't play like arcade-style fighting games.

I recommend KI if u want to get into fg's. The game teaches you fundamentals and shit. Also pretty easy to pick up. But if u like a certain game you should just try to learn the game

I have been trying to like SFV but the game is super slow for me. I preffer KOF.

Love fighting games rather watch haven’t been intrigued to play them since rival school and mvc 2

please try the game -bodyblows

I STARTED BACK IN TEKKEN3 AND JUST STARTED PLAYING SF BACK IN 2019. STARTED WITH SFV BUT IT LACKED CONTENT SO I TRIED USF4 WHICH WAS TOUGH CAUSE ONLY PEOPLE LEFT PLAYING THAT GAME WERE LOYALS TO USF4

I'd say getting into the mvc2 these days is actually easier compared to say 2003 or so. Tech is out there but the only thing that's the main problem is accessibility. DC and emulator is the easiest way but it's a shame I can't support Capcom and give them my money for mvc2.

Personally I Wish More People Would Play 3D Fighter's Most Only Want To Play 2.5D 😕. I'm A Long Time Fan Of Games Like DOA Soulcalibur Tekken Virtual Fighter. Heck I Loved 3D Style Era Of Mortal Kombat. Deception Was Awesome 🔥. It's Sad Most Now Day's Only Play 2.5D 😥.

you should do reaction videos to sent in videos what you think ?

Hi Justin.. What's up bro?? Can you play Agressor Of Dark Kombat, please?? Have a nice day, I love your videos!! :-)

Where's the link to the original videos?

Start a podcast with max

Not even going to link the original in the description?

Actually many of these things Max have said years ago

i wait for the ultimate editionsof fighters cause it saves me money on season pass dlc crap ifi was too get standared edition i would be spend over 300$ on one game or 1000$ on dlc . nope not anymore on getting standard edition on games i just wait for the complete ultimate edition i have yet too buy mk11 cause on people told me it sucks 2 wait for the ultimate edition i did i got it for 14$

I like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Dead or Alive, Soul Calibur, Guilty Gear, King of Fighters, and Smash. No, I am not equally good at them all, lol.

Im getting into JoJos bizarre adventure

Comment for al G rhythm

I love MK9 and X but also don't like 11. Not having Mileena didn't help because she's who I learned in X so I wanted to continue using her. Sure they added her later but it was too late. I got rid of the game before she released and I have no intention of buying the game again.

I really can't see myself play any fighting game other than Smash

Just play what interests you the most and ignore those twitter lemmings.

Nah, you should get into Granblue... For real. That thing died quicker than Steven Seagal in Executive Decision.

Tekken, easily

Me: Should i play smash Everyone: HELLLLL NOO!!

Evo 2021 not mvc2

Problem getting into new launch fighting games, they are always at their most imbalanced. You wouldn't buy a new car without wheels or a new house without a roof but it's ok for new fighting games to be sold imbalanced. Broken launch fighters are a genre trait, does the FGC deserve better???

At least give a proper shutout and put a link in the description man

"I just like playing, I don't care if the other player is better". Cool, but you're Justin Wong, you just picking up the game you are better than 80% of us just from input execution and legacy knowledge.

Day 16 of asking Justin to play hyper dragon ball z
