Oh, so, so many differences. This is my wheelhouse. I doubt you’d see too much in common between Invincible VS and Street Fighter 6.
Comment on Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game?

Fighting games were very neat when they came out but I was never very good. A few sorta innovations came out with new games but eh to me they are kinda all the same thing so what is the point of new ones at some point.

yeah I think its just not my thing so I can’t appreciate the differences as much. Im a pretty lazy gamer nowadays so honestly most games of reaction skill are not big with me.

I promise I won’t keep trying to sell you on them after this, but the amount of the game that comes down to reactions will vary wildly from game to game, and I don’t know that I’ve found a feeling in games more satisfying than knowing you outsmarted a similarly skilled opponent in a fighting game. If you’ve got any curiosity about it whatsoever, I’d recommend you check out this video by Core-A Gaming that shows just how wildly different they can be from game to game, with the only caveat being that it starts to feel a bit like an advertisement for 2XKO at the end.

I always wished for a Street Fighter side scrolling beat em up.

You’ve just described the 16-bit era forgotten almost-classic, Cyborg Justice.
The learning curve is steep, and the graphics are kind of boring. But after that, it is a a co-op ongoing series of Street Fighter brawls with surprisingly deep combat and some interesting and satisfying progression.

I wanted a 2d side scrolling mmo but with combat inputs and combos like mortal kombat.
I guess Elsword wasn’t too far off from that, but wasn’t quite right.

im not sure I understand. Isn’t that what it is or do you mean like street fighter doing the double dragon thing? (or turtles or avengers or xmen)

You’ve got it. I loved Final Fight and dreamed of a game like that but with Street Fighter characters and special moves. I think Streets of Rage is a bit closer to this idea, but I never got to play it as I was a SNES kid back in the day.

There was a neo geo game I played alot in the arcades. You like had these spheres or something that would change your form and abilities. Not a lot of abilities though so its not like it used joystick motion plus button combos or such.
