Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

For those that don't get the reference

Ninjaedit: formating

[–]jinklmun 1 point2 points ago

I wanted to link you to This one but you need to read like three to comics to make the story line make sense... i linked to it anyways.

[–]swappa11 0 points1 point ago

even without knowing the reference, i still found the comment hilarious

[–]grenadier42 27 points28 points ago

LEAKED FOOTAGE FROM CAPCOM VS. SNK 3 OH FUCK

[–]AloeRP 14 points15 points ago

FUCK YOU I WAS EXCITED FOR A SECOND

[–]riquenunes 5 points6 points ago

Am I the only one here that likes The King of Fighters more than Street Fighter?

[–]The_Slatt 2 points3 points ago

KOF to me had the best stroy of any fighting game. Love this game and love me some Iori.

[–]grenadier42 0 points1 point ago

I never could get into KoF. Dunno why.

Although I own Garou MOTW on Xbox and Garou is fucking amazing

[–]riquenunes -1 points0 points ago

To me it's the opposite to be honest. Have you ever played KoF 98? It's the best IMO.

[–]Sabin10 0 points1 point ago

I put them about equal but neither of them compare to last blade or mark of the wolves.

[–]riquenunes 0 points1 point ago

I was never a fan of the Fatal Fury series to be honest, but this game seems to be nice. I'll try it out some time.

[–]Sabin10 0 points1 point ago

The only fatal fury games worth playing are real bout 2 and mark of the wolves. Mark of the wolves is SNKs magnum opus IMO.

[–]jonesy852 8 points9 points ago

This is very similar to my experience of playing Marvel vs. Capcom 2 online on XBLA.

[–]m0nkeybl1tz 2 points3 points ago

I believe that was his Low Punch, yes?

[–]Captain_d00m 1 point2 points ago

This is very similar to my experience of playing any fighting game ever.

[–]Seymor569 2 points3 points ago

I knew that fighting games weren't my genre when random people would walk into my dorm room in college and beat me at SF4 having never played it before.

[–]not-lenny 17 points18 points ago

Wombo Combo!

[–]blabbers10 2 points3 points ago

We're all a little hard right now.

[–]FluffyToasty 7 points8 points ago

AKUMA IS GRADE A BEEF!

[–]AzurewynD 7 points8 points ago

"SHOUSH"

[–]nekofied 2 points3 points ago

Shoush

[–]RExOINFERNO 11 points12 points ago

I imagine this is what posting to r/atheism as a christian is like.

[–]edemaomega 5 points6 points ago

What most people probably don't realize is that due to damage scaling, Iori is still alive and now has a full meter.

Unless this is Street Fighter X Tekken. Then he is dead.

[–]Stumblebee 0 points1 point ago

Have you ever done a long combo in SFxTK? If you cap a long combo off with a super, it might do a fifth or less of its original damage.

[–]muskieratboi 5 points6 points ago

Iori just got his fucking ass handed to him. By EVERYONE. I like.

[–]MILKB0T 3 points4 points ago

Ahhh, so massive brain damage is what turned Iori insane.

[–]JScholar93 36 points37 points ago

Only seemed natural.

[–]EddieRattlehead 25 points26 points ago

How many points do i recive?

[–]Seymor569 1 point2 points ago

That's the one I was looking for.

[–]magicwar1 1 point2 points ago

The obvious choice. And therefore, you receive all the points.

[–]nateguy 1 point2 points ago

That's what I was expecting the first one to be.

[–]thatdovahkiinyouknow 0 points1 point ago

well it fits, I'll give you that.

[–]Mister_Meowgi 0 points1 point ago

That's the ticket.

[–]Demortis1 6 points7 points ago

That, that is awesome my friend!

[–]Mister_Meowgi 2 points3 points ago

I was thinking this was going to be Guiles theme... Kinda disappointed.

[–]pinkbits 2 points3 points ago

I experience this every time I fire up Mugen. Fuck I love mugen.

[–]Priest22 2 points3 points ago

Who was the one guy who was silver and did the drill type attack with his legs then turned into a ball and left?

[–]old_noob 2 points3 points ago

Neo Dio from World Heroes

[–]CosmicBard 2 points3 points ago

At first, I was proud to know every fighter displayed and the name of every special move used, but upon further reflection, it actually just made me sort of sad.

[–]woot2000 2 points3 points ago

Sad?

COUNT YOURSELF TO BE PROUD AMONG THE ELITE WHO CAN NAME EVERY CHARACTER AND WHAT GAME THAT PARTICULAR SPRITE IS FROM! JOIN ME! JOIN ME IN A MANLY LAUGH! HO HO HO HO HO!

[–]Ethansmiller 0 points1 point ago

im sure i saw ed elric from FMA. was he ever in a game as that sprite? if so, what was it.

[–]woot2000 0 points1 point ago

He wasn't in it.

[–]Ethansmiller 0 points1 point ago

haha, i realized that when i looked closely at his clothes... i was too lazy to edit my last post.

[–]vitorizzo 2 points3 points ago

all that guy wanted was directions to the nearest gas station

[–]exkon 1 point2 points ago

Rock Howard...fuck yes!

[–]tiania 1 point2 points ago

Bodied

[–]Gurgy 1 point2 points ago

Somebody's going to be salty as fuck.

[–]Aspel 1 point2 points ago

Someone must really dislike that character.

[–]tatsumakisempukyaku 2 points3 points ago

I fucking hate Iori

[–]dariusbatista 1 point2 points ago

Ahh, the old internet days

[–]PoliteGentleman 1 point2 points ago

Khushnood Butt!

[–]Sea-Salt 1 point2 points ago

AKA, showing all the moves a white guy like me can never manage in the damn game....

[–]Rehd 1 point2 points ago

This is basically what it looks like when I play MVC2 online against a Japanese person.

[–]The_Caring_Banker 1 point2 points ago

can anyone count the number of hits?

[–]damnmykarma 1 point2 points ago

That escalated quickly.

[–]ElectricSistaHood 1 point2 points ago

So this is implying that Akuma is the best fighting game character of them all?

[–]EliteKill 1 point2 points ago

Dat juggle.

[–]xalisquillo7 1 point2 points ago

Iori: Rest in pieces.

[–]Nerdhero 1 point2 points ago

This is what 5 man ganks in League of legends feel like.

[–]Kaddus 4 points5 points ago

Show Ryu Ken.

[–]kracov 3 points4 points ago

Sure you can.

[–]DangerOnTheRanger 2 points3 points ago

But Iori sure couldn't.

[–]Sabin10 0 points1 point ago

I'd like some pound cake!

[–]AttractiveMeat 1 point2 points ago

ARE YOU KEN?!

[–]anon22_ 0 points1 point ago

A lot of the CvSNK2 sprites are some of my favorite of all the vs series(es?)

[–]Sarke1 0 points1 point ago

Fatality?

[–]murdock2099 0 points1 point ago

Simply awesome

[–]Narroo 0 points1 point ago

That's Iori, right? Someone really hates him.

[–]Sharrakor 0 points1 point ago

This gif played extraordinarily slowly on iOS for some reason...

[–]khast 0 points1 point ago

Try syncing Shoryuken.mp4 through iTunes...it should play a lot better. Though, you have to manually set the video to loop.

[–]bean35130 0 points1 point ago

god damn inf. combos!

[–]highonl1fe 0 points1 point ago

That poor man

[–]markman71122 0 points1 point ago

[–]oogieogie 0 points1 point ago

[–]tofunoodle 0 points1 point ago

[–]Dammit_Rab 0 points1 point ago

lol wow. I made a video with this gif set to MFDoom YEARS ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdTjXqGvYJw&feature=g-upl

[–]PrimoIllesac 0 points1 point ago

Best gif I think I have ever seen.

[–]darthwaffle 0 points1 point ago

if that was iori. poor poor iori. gets his flames tooken by that metrosexual ash and now everyone jumps him. smh

[–]learntofart 0 points1 point ago

This is seriously one of my new favorite gifs. I stood in awe for a solid minute.

[–]WeekendBoss 0 points1 point ago

Me whenever I get called into my parents bedroom and the rest of the family is already in there....

[–]Gruffyd 0 points1 point ago

...And that was the first time i died

[–]wafflesnsyrup 0 points1 point ago

KO!

[–]PessimisticPrime 0 points1 point ago

No love for Iori </3

[–]Gitchschmoldstein 0 points1 point ago

holy hell that was one of the most awesome gifs ever!

[–]snitchsgetstitchs107 -1 points0 points ago

Which is better Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter?

[–]MrHaddad1213 0 points1 point ago

And that's how you Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

[–]xXDGFXx 0 points1 point ago

Oh could only imagine how much more amazing this can be if they properly aligned each character in their animation.

[–]larogue 0 points1 point ago

Black ryu?

[–]yeppersss 0 points1 point ago

pretty sure they were just kicking around a limp, unconscious body after the first couple of hits

[–]PuffPuffPat 0 points1 point ago

Damn. That was a long combo.

[–]pandamunches 0 points1 point ago

Too much pain to be described in one sentence.

[–]Aleebi 0 points1 point ago

Here's how it feels to play against someone skilled in Ultimate Capcom Vs Marvel 3.

[–]Poison_from_SF 0 points1 point ago

Day 2: Someone linked something Street Fighter related that I am once again not included in. Do I really not have any fans?

[–]Okashu 0 points1 point ago

Somewhat relevant

[–]bobx9000 -1 points0 points ago

Did he died?

[–]WarPhalange -2 points-1 points ago

Why was Ryu black?

[–]Ioimat 1 point2 points ago

Different guy....

[–]Renelius -1 points0 points ago

I think this should be titled Misogi.

[–]Smokecan -1 points0 points ago

This is so old. Just the oldest thing since old was invented. I can hear the echo of 1990s and 00s midi files and custom cursors. I felt a chill, remembering fan-fiction by girls obsessed with Heero Yuy. 10 years ago called. They said they want you to find something new.
