Why don't fighting games have an online practice mode?

PS3 Attitude: "Every major fighting game released this generation has an online feature with the exception of Virtua Fighter 5 on the PS3. Two player battles are pretty much guaranteed and that's really all you get. Even if a game has multiple modes to play, they won't be online enabled.

With the recent resurgence of the fighting game genre, one would think that an online training mode would have been done by now."

Thats a dumb idea thats why

darthv725213d ago

It wouldnt work having online training. The object of training/practice is to get better than the cpu before taking on real opponents. How hard is that to figure out?

Delriach5212d ago

You think training mode is to get better than an AI before moving onto real people? That makes no sense...

kagon015213d ago

Yes it is...

That's is why you have the non ranking player matches.

Pebz5213d ago

Not exactly the same, practice mode is supposed to give both players infinite life and no time limit.

The usefulness of it is subjective; either you use it or you don't, but it's not like it would take much effort to add it to the game, so I reckon the topic is valid.

Delriach5212d ago

Thank you Pebz for understanding. It's a mode that could be useful for some and it should be easy to add.

How Street Fighter IV Saved 2D Fighting Games (Ft. Maximilian Dood)

After Street Fighter II released in in 1991, it caused a fighting game explosion, both in arcades and in home consoles. But, as the decade ended, and arcades were failing, so too were 2D Fighting games. This is how Street Fighter IV completely revitalized the genre.

I'd say Blazblue helped too. Didn't care for Street Fighter 4, but Blazblue was amazing during that time. Sad that the series kind of went downhill after the first 2 or 3 games though.

DarXyde327d ago

BlazBlue was phenomenal. Platinum'd Calamity Trigger because I loved it so much. I remember buying Continuum Shift back in the day at launch for like $40. They did have DLC characters (Valkenhayne, Makoto, and Platinum at the time) and it came out to just a tad more than it would at full price. Didn't mind at all.

Great fighting game.

Snookies12327d ago

Continuum Shift was definitely my favorite. Spent way too many hours on that game, haha... Had the counters for days with Hakumen.

DarXyde327d ago

I really like Makoto, Valkenhayne, and Hazama. Super fun characters

Terry_B326d ago

Valkenhayn ..just sayin'

Terry_B327d ago

BlazBlue was the much better, more technical game..and a real 2D Fighting Game after all. But yes, since it was a big name..the characters were still popular and the game itself was good, SFIV indeed helped a lot. However, I am pretty sure the much better-selling Mortal Kombat 9 would have been done without SFIV as well..and that one truly helped to make the fighting game genre in general more popular again.

Ryuha1234h327d ago

You’re sound dumb. Blazblue was not better than sf4. You’re just saying that because you’re a street fighter hater.

A SF Hater eh? Fight me in SF 2,3 4 or 5 and you will regret that stupid comment ;)

one of the very few streamers i can actually watch without it being cringe and awful ha.

GhostScholar326d ago

The content of IV was severely lacking when it launched. It got better over time.
