: Your first fighting game.
: Ice Queen Lotus October 27, 2010, 04:59:14 AM
Today I got asked about my first encounter with fighting games. It made me think, so I thought I'd share (OMG SHAREFAG).

My first encounter with arcade FG - and my dad loves to tell this story - was me kicking some guy's ass at Mortal Kombat when it was new. I was so small I had to stand on a stepping stool to reach the controls. This guy was raping everybody, 50 win streak or so, at a mall arcade. Time Out kind of thing. Dad and I waited in line, he held my hand and all. I remember this very clearly because there was a KB Toys across the way where my grandpa went to buy a Supersoaker. I remember watching him go into the store while waiting in line (that's how long the line was, coming out of the arcade about 20 people deep). I get there, finally, hop up on a stool, and body the dude. I think was 7 or so? Stay free, America.


What was your first fighting game? Any interesting experiences?

Street Fighter 2 on SNES. Still the only console I ever owned. And will ever own. Though that game sucks as hell from a recent point of view.

One Must Fall 2097, best game ever.

This x infinity.

My first non-arcade FG is kinda blurry. I can't remember if it was OMF or SF2. I definitely played a lot of both. EC as well, but that was hell without a 6 button pad. Sup pressing start to switch between punch and kick.

I still play OMF to this day. I still find my favourite 'bot to be Shadow with the ice mod, but Gargoyle could do some crazy shit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiWJtcVfA0Y).

Double Dragon.

As in, mode b of the original Double Dragon, not the spinoff fighters. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w20incys4tg)

Other than that, I guess getting absolutely destroyed by a friend at some version of SF2 on SNES when I had no concept of how fighting games worked. What a dick.

KOF '98, in 1999 when I was in vacations on São João de Meriti, Brazil. It was a PS1 inside from an arcade cabinet.

I've really began to dedicate in F-games in 2004, playing a KOF '98 arcade in a bar (Bar do Tião) near to my house, and not using the "special shortcuts" (L1, L2, R1, R2 from SPECIAL config mode) anymore when I was praticing in PS1.

Is this first serious fighting game or first fighting game?  I think most people in my generation mashed streetfighter (or if they were cool, PowerStone) when they were younger.  But first time I bothered to seriously learn the mechanics?  -  Melty Blood.  Deal with it.  

Fun fact: The first character I saw being played was Kohaku.  I thought the game was dumb, hated fighting games, and even when I picked up the game as an "exception" to my rules disliking the fighting game genre, I probably liked Kohaku the least out of the entire cast.  Atleast half a decade ago, Melty Blood was my first experience with Type Moon.  I had a passing interest in anime and the like, but I wasn't at the level anyone would call an otaku.  I disliked people who were "too into" anime.

My first fighting game was SF2 for SNES.  First time I ever played a fighter in an arcade was Marvel vs Capcom in like mid-late middle school I think?  First fighting game that got me interested in learning and playing above scrub level was Guilty Gear XX.  First time I played in a tournament was in Evo 07, Melty side tourney.

Like many others, my first experience with fighters was SF2 on the SNES and I was like 4 or 5 at the time. Believe it or not, I learned how to do a hurricane kick before a fireball. I just couldn't understand why I couldn't get fireballs to work and nobody bothered to show me what I was doing wrong. After I dunno how many tries, eventually I got this bright idea of reversing the hurricane kick motion and pressing the buttons that were located above the kick buttons. Lo and behold I learned how to fireball. It was one of the greatest (and most embarrassing) experiences I've had with fighters. :slowpoke:

Well, I only remember seeing SF2 once or twice in an arcade, never played it before. I did not like fighting games too much when I was little. (mostly because some random high school/college student would always RAEP me without mercy)

First games that I played and enjoyed were Super Smash Bros was Tekken 3 and, later, Tekken Tag Tournament.

First 2D game was KoF 1998 or 2000 (can't remember exactly). I sucked at it big time. First 2D game I liked was Melty Blood Act Cadenza  :toot:

This reminds me of the trouble I had attempting to mash fierce/roundhouse (honda/chun) to get the fast version to come out when I was a kid.  I could do light and medium versions fine enough, but couldn't ever manage to do the heavy version.  Later I felt like a genius when I realized I could mash light+heavy or mid+heavy together and somehow still get the heavy one.

I also remember reading input instructions on some game or another (MK2?  SF2?  One of my earlier ones, I dunno) and seeing "Down, Down/Forward, Forward, Punch" as attack notation and confusedly trying to press 2266P.  lol, made me so frustrated until I realized Down/Forward meant diagonal.

My absolute very first FG was this lame-ass Power Rangers game in a bundle of emulated games from the SNES. I played some other fighters in there too. Ah, my childhood...

But Melty was my first serious fighter. The first original Melty Blood. Then shifted to ReAct, Act Cadenza then Actress Again.

Wonder if we're talking about the same game. It's the one where you can select the giant robots, not the rangers. Story mode involves choosing either the classic dinosaurs version or the white tiger one, beating the crap out of the other versions and finally fighting Ivan Ooze. I was really a little kid when I played it so I had no clue what to do. I still have it in fact. Should try it out one day...
: Re: Your first fighting game.

Yes, I'm talking about that one, too. And I still have that game module for SNES as well.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - The Fighting Edition.

IIRC only one character was able to do advanced combos, and that was Zedd. Maybe Ninja Megazord, too.

This game is basically New Mobile Gundam Wing: Endless Duel, only with Zords instead of Gundams. Even the same engine.

There is video evidence of me playing Street Fighter 2 back when I was like 3. I have no actual memory of doing so--my parents hid it away because they thought it'd make me violent.

I'd sort of get back into FTG with Smash Bros. + Melee, but that doesn't count.

So really, my first fighting game is actually like... really late with Guilty Gear XX #Reload (Xbox) and Melty Blood Re-Act Final Tuned shortly after, probably.

After some careful trawling of memories, I've managed to narrow it down to either Street Fighter II or Mortal Kombat for the Amiga, though I was so young at the time as for it to barely count. Last time I played either of those was a good 13 or 14 years back, followed by a complete dearth of any fighting games till a few months ago when a friend introduced me to MB.

Got fond memories from those days, though the Megadrive controllers we used to play (As they shared the same port type as the Amiga) were war from ideal. Better than they keyboard, at any rate.

^ I swear I could hear ur voice while reading this. Particularly after the word "trawling". ^

That aside, S2 strikes again. I never liked MK cuz I was like 9 wen I started getting into MK4. If u can call "scrubbing around" the same as "getting into" it.

I missed this one before; dare I ask what you perceive me to sound like?

I'm one of the many that started with Street Fighter 2 as their first fighting game, but, I've been more of Mortal Kombat than SF (especially the old school MK).
