SteamOS can help with that, but I'm not sure.
Don't ask me why ballmer. I don't even know.

Fighters? You mean fighting games?

There is a shameful lack of libre 3d fighting games. However there are a number of side scrollers. Most of them crap. I like paintown. Openmortal is also pretty good. Lugaru is 3d but it's an open arena. I would really love to see a close combat or boxing style game.

What is your preferred style of fighting game?

Also, might be worth a mention, there are a number of games on openbor. Some new games but mostly ports of old games. They mostly all look like streets of rage mods.

There is also OpenOMF, which is way old but still fun.

>What is your preferred style of fighting game?
I'm really a fan of the whole genre. I'm interested when the game have solid mechanics and when it's balance and good to play in general. But I really like the 3D fighting games like SoulCalibur or Virtua Fighter. Tekken too, but in a moderate level.

The lack isn't just on open platforms. The industry stops to produce new IPs in fighting games and that really sucks.
And you talk about Lugaru, but Overgrowth is great too and have a 1v1 mode, playable with controllers.

ChaosEsque Anthology is completely free and you can fist fight in it (brawling).

Controls are listed in input, it also has a SP fighting campaign called "who is the greatest"

You attack by pressing a direction key 2wice quick in succession when near an enemy.
The controls for fist fighting are:
ww (punch)
ww+shift (uppercut)
ww+shift+space (super uppercut)
ww+space (kick)

You can also side swipe
(aa or dd)

It is 3d.

We really need a libre rollback online system like GGPO, but for other emulation, like SNES or Dreamcast.

RetroArch/libretro does this.

It's called MAMEHub.

Well neither of these belong here. I would have deleted this sooner but I had to be sure first.

If you had simply wanted to bring these up as a relevant part of the discussion then fine. However you were clearly advertising these non libre games and this is not the place for that. I don't see a thread about ef-12 on >>>/fighters/ but there is already one about Mugen >>>/fighters/2555

I am sure further discussion would be well received if moved to there. Good luck and thanks for posting.

Sorry about that, I knew they were free but I didn't know they weren't libre.

Also, if Mugen isn't libre, doesn't Paintown have old Mugen, or is that just the Wii homebrew version?

Polite sage for apology.

No apology necessary. The MUGEN developers redistributable had no source but showed multiple libre licenses and no mention of the "Mugen license" so I came to the conclusion that Mugen is just freeware that depends on libre libraries.

Paintown is BSD using "an implementation of M.U.G.E.N", and reviewing the source I cannot find the mugen freeware included. I assume they are either using a different engine, relicensed code or perhaps an earlier version of mugen was under a different license.

With regard to EF-12, I couldn't find any source code or a license neither on their site nor in the release. A quick web search only mentioned "freeware."

I will be happy to correct any mistake made on my part. Again no need for apology, it was a quality post but just didn't belong here.

Have a nice day.
