The streetfighter 2 community killed fighting games. 3 was superior in every way shape and form but it didn't get the respect it deserved because of poorer sales than the second. But as we can all see, it wasn't the gameplay that made street fighter 2 good, no, it was just a cultural fluke that made the sales so good.

Absolutely not. Guilty gear is one of the most "hardcore" fighting games there is. It's exclusively for the people that really want to get into fighting games at the highest level. That's why its community is so small.

Yes if the price tag doesn't bother you, go for it. No reason not to.

Did you know that civilized adults don't assault eachother over video games?
Of course you didn't, you are in the FGC.

It was available on PS+ so many people didn't buy a copy.

did you know that real men occasionally have to channel their testosterone through brawls over competitive events?
of course not, you're a nu-male.
Oliver White
It makes sense the most skill intensive genre is dying. People want gratification with less effort.
Grand Strategy survives just because it's prrtty much a cultural thing now.
Team based esports are way easier for the individual than a single payer game.
Isaiah Lopez
The FGC has always been a niche community. Occasionally, you'll see some sponsored tournaments but most of the time, it's just a bunch of community-organized bros looking to have fun.

The only thing fighting games are good for anymore is the girls.
Ethan Moore
Ironic shit posting is still shit posting. Unless of course you are actually this low. Then bravo and thank you for the "Nu" word filter ;)

Smash is just as skill intensive and is thriving.
The more traditional Fighting games just have shit controls and a terrible learning curve.

Am I being trolled, you don't mean those shitty nintendo games that people mastered and quit when they were like what, 14?
Holy shit fuck off.

Go win a major tournament then. It's worth tens of thousands dollars. Hell you can probably get a sponsorship and even build a brand around yourself for more money if you can do it multiple times.

Literally a childrens game, that yes, kids at that MASTERED, than got bored an quit. THAT game?
LOOOOOOOOL I'm going to take my own advice and fuck off. Smash games are a kiddie fest joke, entry level lulz.
Oh god. No wonder why this shits dying. Its full of over-aged autismos who think they are good at kids games. LOL Oh god
Luis Reyes
dude
you're an idiot
you're not good at thinking and you're not good at trolling and you just seem to be overall mentally incompetent in general, from your strange grammar and lack of knowledge about how to use capitalization like really, you seem absolutely retarded and everyone in this thread is laughing at you
Kevin Perry
you do know street fighter is more popular than smash right?
Lucas Gonzalez
No, it's actually not even remotely close.
Super Smash Bros 5.55 million Super Smash Bros. Melee 7.41 million (March 2014) Super Smash Bros. Brawl 13.10 million (March 2016) 3DS Super Smash Bros. for 3DS 8.23 million (June 2016) Wii U Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 4.90 million (June 2016) Street Fighter IV 3.4 million Street Fighter IV 0.1625 million Super Street Fighter IV 1.9 million Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition 1.2 million Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition 1.1 million Ultra Street Fighter IV 1 million Street Fighter V 1.4 million
David Walker
The FGC has never been the focus of fighting games. SFV fucked up because it attempted to bank on the FGC/esports crowd instead of just making a good game.
Luke Murphy
Holy shit what a faggot
Adrian Morales
this reads like an r/kappa post maybe you should go back and keep masturbating to traps
Joseph Wilson
why is this community so fucking stupid every single dipshit autist thinks he knows everything about everything fuck you guys, i'm going to GAF
Nolan Gomez
>enjoy racing games >talk about racing games >threads constantly get derailed by Nintoddlers talking about Mario Kart instead This might seem bizarre to you, but for fighting games, it's real.
Kayden Gonzalez
>No wonder why this shits dying.
Smash is doing better than ever right now though.
Nathaniel Morgan
>I'm going to GAF Good. Go there and stay there you dumb fucking faggot. You would fit right in with the rest of the mentally stunted trannies.
Oliver Campbell
Mario Kart is the most popular racing game, why would you be upset if people talk about it in a racing game thread?
Same thing for smash, it's the most popular fighting game.
Zachary Gray
But more people like Mario Kart than people like your shitty autism simulator, user.
Why do you deserve to have a safe space? You're the minority.
Samuel Sanchez
oh i was talking about the competitive communities
Cameron Rodriguez
Mario Kart and Smash are both party games for kids. That's it.
Aiden Kelly
easy there bud don't cut yourself on that edge your mom might get mad at you and take away computer rights
Alexander Brooks
Nobody enjoys having their racing games thread derailed by literal manchildren who can't let go of Nintendo party games for kiddies.
Levi Lewis
Are you pretending to be retarded? Each SSB game takes a shit-ton of skill. Only a few super dedicated players consistently win the big tournaments, even when there are 1000+ entrants. And obviously, not everyone has "mastered" Smash, because they keep finding new techniques.
Matthew Hughes
Oops meant to reply to him
Landon Wood
Why haven't you gone to GAF yet? You're still posting here. Go. The trannies and niggers are eagerly waiting for you to join their circlejerks.
Leo Howard
Autism is marked by a lack of empathy for others and a lack of understanding of why others react to you poorly. It's okay, user!
Hudson Smith
Is that Jwong and that pokken girl?
Lucas Reyes
B-but muh twitch Evo viewer numbers
Easton Young
Empathy is exactly what the Nintendo manchildren lack when they try to push their party kiddie games on people who want to talk about racing/fighting games.

i've never actually been to GAF, and you're a manchild
Jackson Cruz
You still haven't fucked off. Very predictable. Makes a dramatic post of leaving, yet still remains because of lacking any sort of self-respect. You know what, I think you would actually fit in with the Neofaggers just fine.
Nathaniel Phillips
I bet you're used to Mommy doing exactly what you say, and this must make your autism so upset.
Dominic Jones
What makes a game a "party kiddie game"? Anything with a rating below T? Define.
Ryan Gomez
The Neofagger can't even spell anymore with all his spaghetti leaking. Why would my mother do exactly as I say, you fucking moron? You really are in dire need of your desired safe space now that I think of it.
Mason Phillips
>What makes a game a "party kiddie game" When the devs specifically say that's the target audience and they are pissed off by people pretending it's anything but, such as Sakurai and Miyamoto.
Isaac Hernandez
>can't even spell anymore Haha, okay, wait, I was just fucking with you since you're a sperglord, but what did I misspell? Go on, tell me. Demonstrate your superior intelligence, faggot.
Parker Lewis
>Smash is just as skill intensive
Adam Turner
>>fight breaks out = ghetto shit that's pretty true I mean seriously it's a fucking video game either get good or stop being a little bitch though I'm sure if you just ban all black people then it would be perfectly fine place to enjoy some games
Ryder Wilson
>this stuff happens in fgc >people still swat each other over twitch >people go try ro kill people in real life over counter strike >people still get outrageously mad over SC2 or LoL or DotA2 >people get mad at each other over sports video games
It fucking happens everywhwre with every game. People can be violent petty losers, the FGC is not unique on this.
I don't think I've ever heard Sakurai or Miyamoto call one of their games a "party kiddie game." If they did, link the source. It's not like anyone cares about target demographics anyway. That's why kids play M-rated games.
Josiah Cox
if you dont play online and only want sp content then maybe, but online is fucking dead and the one guy plating will eat tou alive
Juan Mitchell
>>No more ghetto shit tournaments with stabbings That only happens in korean starcraft tournaments, though.
Colton Rodriguez
Haha, PC Master Race wins again :)))
retarded console "e-sports" fighting community, don't even have proper online PvP options, hahaha cancerous kiddos.
Best PVP experience is on PC Master race, god tier games:
>TFW I''m literally only into Fighting Games for strange fetishistic fap fodder.

To be fair to fighting game tournaments and their community, almost all tournaments based on video games are filled with autism.
Blake Cruz
GG is legit hard to play and near impossible to master. I got sign when it game out and have been playing ever since and im only above average.
Hunter Clark

I'm so glad I picked up Rocket League. 550 Hours in, still not bored. Just hit Shooting Star is 3s and doubles. So glad I dropped SFV as my main source of fun.
Jason Lee
>tfw you're a huge fighting game fan but also really happy SFV flopped Fuck that game, we couldve had 3rd Strike 3D but we got baby's first fighter FUCK YOU CAPCOM FUCK YOU
David Anderson
One question, why not just play old games if they are better? Is it because Capcom sponsors the event?
Christopher Scott
>wanting 3S Just playing 3S you stupid cunt. I'm not happy with SFV but to be happy it flopped is literal autism
Dylan Peterson
Why is SF5 so dead? It takes ages finding opponents and when I do I'm lucky if they're not lagging assholes
Christian Barnes
>nu-male
As opposed to good old traditional males who break out pointy implements over video games?
Jason Rogers
Why would you cherish the death of a genre? Somebody truly passionate would be happy if all kinds of games could thrive. Beware, you are doomed if you continue along this path.
Hunter Bell
Because old fighting games dont receive updates and dont have chaning meta.
Think of them as highly linear. People are bored of 3s. People are bored of USF4. There's no reason to return to them other than autisticly grinding forever.
Aiden Scott
Starcraft 1 still have tournaments and is still popular in some places. A decades old game and their tournaments will probably outlast SF tourneys and maybe the game itself.
Thomas Collins
>tfw fighting game autism is on its death bed
Feels good that the worst genre is on the way out
Ian Sanchez
Why shouldn't I be happy it flopped? It's a complete travesty. The input lag is abhorrent, the netcode is ass, the balance is awful, and Capcom refuses to even TRY to fix the game. You can't even change keybinds on PC.
Ian Price
For EVO, yeah. Capcom really rolled out the dough for it, got it on ESPN2 last year and all that. There's no reason to play SFIV now (besides casually of course) because it gets no support while Capcom throws down hundreds of thousands of dollars for tournaments every year, no matter how much top players show their disdain for the game. Marvel will likely be similar, but it has the potential to be good so it could avoid all of the flak that SFV has gotten.
It's not like Capcom is the only company that does this, after EVO Blazblue will get benched by Arcsys for the forseeable future (they'll have it at Arc Revo I guess) and Guilty Gear will be the spotlight series again. If you want to be a top player and make a living, you have to get with the times or support your scene yourself. If you want to be a casual and just enjoy locals or whatever, play what you like.
Austin Collins
because it's shit
Jason King
Honestly, T7 is going to be the last chance saloon for my tolerance with fighters. I used to fucking love them as a kid, but I lost my edge over the years, and just didn't have the time to dedicate to being good at them,
As Tekken is 80% about the neutral game and not *massively* focused on execution, I'm hoping I can still hold my own in it. I did alright in Tekken Rev.
If I can't, then the genre is dead for me as well.
Lucas Jackson
i bet you go to beingliberal and watch cnn/msnbc for your news
Cameron Barnes
Because the old games generally aren't 'better' in any real sense. They have their own share of problems that people gloss over so they can shit over whatever's new. Suddenly they're well balanced games even though it's a lie and X mechanic was generally good even though it was dropped for good reason.
When the FGC dies again, they'll have no one to blame but their own constantly negative attitude to every game or change that comes out.
Brandon Lewis
>When the FGC dies again
The FGC never died. You just didn't know anything about it.
Andrew Morales
Fighting games are great. I'm autistic and one of my favourite hobbies is memorizing series upon series of combinations so I can decimate normies who just spam. I love drinking normie tears. I tell them to kill themselves and then I go back to the lab to work on new fifty+ input combos to make them cry some more. I've never touched a girl in my life, but luckily fighting games are practically hentai with how huge the girls' proportions are, so I can masturbate to them after a good eight hour session. Finally the fighting community has a lot of great memes. I'm really bad at talking to people, so I can "memorize" memes just like how I memorize combinations and people respect me because I say all of the best memes in the most optimal way.
