New Zealand Fighting Game Forum

Hi guys,

I recently found a new website for NZ fighting game players, everyone should check it out!

Anyone going there today? Say round 4 o'clock?

The art is awesome but I don't really dig the song.

You all know Hyadain, right?

Edit: Found this..

Fffffuuuuuuckkk you, the song was catchy enough on its own.

When's the server up,

WANTS TO PLAY MINECRAFTZ

My first fighting game was Tekken 3. I only touched SF2 after joining NZism hahaha.

I like Street Fighter because I feel like I have more control over it. I much prefer the different types of play styles that you find in a Street Fighter game and the skill it takes to pull it off. Honestly the problem with Tekken is that it all boils down to a high/low mixup game. It is just not very interesting to me. A lot of the time when I score a hit in Tekken I feel I got more lucky, but when I get a hit in Street Fighter I generally feel like I had a good read on the opponent.

I also think it is far harder to get into the Tekken scene than Street Fighter, mostly because of how easily avaliable information is online. Tekken guides online do exist, burried in forum posts that are usually amazingly outdated. If you are lucky you can find some blurry videos on youtube explaining some stuff. The only series I have seen that explained Tekken to me in a way I could easily understand was the Level up your game series on youtube.

For SF4 you have a decent online crowd, a lot of information available on a fair few sites and countless videos. Also the game teaches you basic combos that you can use, which is just so overlooked. Good luck ever figuring out a Tekken combo by yourself if you are new. Figuring out Zafinas BnB combo is far more difficult than cammys short jab short spiral arrow.

I like both games, I just like aspects of Street Fighter more. Although I have respect for a good Tekken Player.
