Play a lot.

...

I too am trying to figure this one out. This time I won't be discouraged though. I'm gonna figure it out.

i spent 4000 hours playing dota 2, trying to git gud. i never got gud. it made me question if i could really git gud at anything, at least to a professional level. i even hired a professional player to coach me. his main advice?

play more games

Obviously it helps if you don't play on autopilot and learn from your mistakes. Rewatching your matches helps with that.

use suzuran then throw them in the corner

...

Practice practice practice. Are you practicing yet? Obviously not.

I want to know too. I only casually played fighting games here and there and never really tried to be good and now I'm 29. I just feel half the time when I try to do anything it's for naught and I should just give up.

by not playing baiken

If I ever get the guts and pick up and learn Rev2, I will 100% only play Baiken, like I did with every other GG. I never cared about tiers as I have been about just getting decent all in itself.

You don't simple as that

Came here to post this.

I feel like some people aren't cut out for certain things and fighting games is that for me, as much as I would like to be decent.

The same way you get better at anything, you practice

Actually play them instead of image spamming waifus on imageboards.

"Play more" is awful advice. At some point you have to think about the meta game and how you're going to interact with other players.
You will suck big time when the next patch rolls around and you where just good because you played a lot.

im good at them

Study and practice, same way you'll get better at basically anything else

Just play them a lot, you'll get good at them eventually but also get worse at everything else.

Trying to play other genres with my fighting game friends has been quite the experience.

that's the gayest shit i've ever heard

It's the truth. Natural ability doesn't really come into it for a lot of video games. Sometimes it's just about being the bigger autist and devoting your entire life solely to one game.

Why is so prefect?

>play against a Slayer, Johnny, Ky, Pot, or Faust
>they’re usually good at the game and understand how to play their character
>play against a Baiken, Elphelt, or I-No
>they’re fucking trash 70% of the time and have the fundamentals of a mentally handicapped baboon

From this I can draw the conclusion that the solution to not being garbage is to stop being a waifufag who picks characters based on tit size instead of playing something that’s actually cohesive with your playstyle, unless of course your waifu does mesh with your playstyle

...

...

You have to be literally braindead to not pick up anything from playing a lot.

...

Same here user I like the idea of being able to master the game and basically having a game that never ends almost like a Rougelike but I just don't have that kind of dedication. I'm autistic enough to play Sonic Games but I just can't find the ability to sit down and learn the games mechanics and all the move inputs and then finding the right combos. It doesn't help that online is always dominated by people who are miles better than you so you have no other choice but to git really gud instead of just plain gud.

I am sad classic Baiken probably won't get fanart again now with this redesign.

practice combos

Start thinking. That's it.

People having actual decades of experience compared to you really puts a hamper on motivation. That and having literally no one you know that's interested in learning with you.

HONKERS, ENHANCE

>too anxious to go online in Guilty Gear or ask for games on discord
>no one in my local FGC wants to play the games I like and would rather get cucked by Capcom for another season
>my only irl friends are wannabe tourneyfags that think they're hot shit at Smash/Tekken/Overwatch and don't wanna play any other game

>trying to play anime games offline outside of Japan

good luck with that my man

distract them with the big baps

JUST FUCKING DO IT. If you're too scared of playing online, you'll never get to experience the game. Only by fighting other people can you start appreciating FGs. Don't worry if you lose an assload your first time around, we've all been there.

This is also why I stopped trying to get decent at fighting games, everything I like are anime and doujin fighters.

>baiken will never fuck the shit out of you because not only is she one armed she's also underpowered and takes more work than any other character to win matches with
Feels sad man.

Nobody plays those seriously in the US anyway. Might change with DBZF but I still have my doubts.

you can definitely clearly see the kenshin influence with the original one.

Me too, I could scrape wins in Street Fighter and see slow but steady improvement, which was nice in of itself, but didn't like playing the game much at all. In Guilty Gear, after several hundred consecutive losses (frequently getting kicked for being too bad) I'm not sure I was much closer to getting competent.

For the more niche games it's always newbies or 10 year vets. There's no middle ground, that's just how it is.

>>trying to play anime games offline outside of Japan
That'll change With Dragon Ball FighterZ

I don't know man. I think a lot of people will buy it and play it for the first couple of weeks but I question its staying power in the competitive scene. Those games usually don't stick quite as well as the tryhard games, regardless of how fun they are.

i want to believe

>team based fighting games

MvC2 and CvS2 were fun. I mean they were horrendously broken and I fully expect the same from DBZF, but they were fun.

Play women with fat tits

I prefer butts, but bullet is pretty nice

...

2 questions.

If I get Rev 2 will I get all characters?

And does Baiken have an English voice?

They got rid of all of the English voices

You will not have Haehyun and Dizzy, you can buy Raven with in game currency.

Fucking dropped. Was thinking about buying the game too.

>They got rid of all of the English voices
What? wtf why?

Welcome to weeb games

Cost more money than Arcsys felt they were worth. Not that many people cared about them.

lots of new voice acting was added and it was easier to just remove them all than record more english actors

Well shit. At least DB FighterZ got a dub.
Kinda discouraged to buy Rev 2 now

It's still a good game. The release of DBZF will probably pull the life support on every anime fighter though.

I'll play with you if you're US, aren't on really bad wifi and you don't mind losing every match to an experienced player.

>yfw you want to enjoy fighting games but suck at fighting games

Watch your opponent not your character

>yfw you're good at fighting games but don't enjoy them anymore

I appreciate it user but I'm EU

I'm the same, user. I have played a couple of hundred online matches in guilty gear(Which isn't much since I started playing in AC+ on PS3) but I haven't dared go online in months.

You dont, you just tolerate the salt a little better each time

You on PC? I've bad connection to about a third of the EU countries, but if it's below 6f I'll play you.

Too bad I'm on PS4

Idk. I played gg for years and never got gud as potenkim

>yfw you got good at fighting games because you enjoy them

This.

Getting decent at a fighter is quite rewarding, i remember when a friend of mine used to win 20 in a row in usf4. One day i actually won 20 in a row. Now he doesn't play fighting games anymore and i wasnt able to get decent in a fighting game for years despite my best efforts.

I might go to a local in my country just to play a little and then I'll probably quit the genre. It got to the point where it is more stressful than fun and most games released this gen don't really click with me.

I hope Mike is at least having fun playing gulty gerr

b-but I like waifus

To everyone sad, disappointed, or frustrated at their inability to even approach fighting games because the input barrier seems impassable even AFTER you understand the game - It's not your fault. Certain controllers are just GARBAGE for Fighting Games. I recently bought pic related and swapped from the 360 controller to this fight pad, and the results are like night and day. I went from only hitting 60% of my inputs up to hitting 95%. (The last 5% accounting for human error.) Guilty Gear's practice mode shows you your inputs as you do them, and my stick tends to go all over the place when I'm doing Hado motions. No, it's perfect, precise, and easy. The arcade mode used to bust my balls, but now I can clear it without losing a single round. I really can't speak enough on how much of a difference this makes.

Remember, FGC fags are generally awful at giving advice. They tell complete newcomers to just "Lab it in training" instead of following tutorials, and they call you shit for not buying their expensive 200$ fight sticks when 40$ fight pads can work just as well. A fighting game DOES NOT HAVE TO BE about fighting the controls.

(Just note that you need to be gentle with these because the internal parts are sensitive and break easily. The added care as you gently and calmly hit your inputs will help you even more for your precision.)

...

It's not that going in training mode is wrong, you add that to your games to emulate what you don't understand, usually starting off with specific moves.
Lab it in training mode doesn't necessarily mean practice combos over and over.

fucking this you faggots.

360 pad, like pretty much all typical controllers, are fine for fighting games. You just need to get used to them, motions are always difficult at first. I don't think it's good advice to tell people that it's the controllers fault their moves are not coming out.
I never thought 360 pad was that bad and managed to do FADC ultra / sj cancel ultra combos in SF4 just fine before moving to stick for other reasons.

This.
Super Street Fighter 4 and Ultimate Marvel 3 were a pain in the ass for me for the longest time until I got that fucking MadCatz controller. Even a shitty controller like that was a game changer. I know UMvC3 is a four button fighter anyway but the better d-pad made all the difference. I'm not a fucking pro or anything but at least I'm halfway decent now.

Today, I use the Fighting Commander 4, similar to your pic. Excellent, excellent fucking controller. I also bought Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for the PS3 and I'm pretty excited to play all the Genesis games I never got around to on a controller that emulates it well. The fact that that Hori controller works on both PS3 and PS4, and as a generic USB controller for PC, is also a huge selling point. And it's forty fucking dollars. Can't recommend it enough; it's probably the single best six button controller on the market. My only major complaint is that it is somewhat fragile, although not nearly as much as the MadCatz controllers I used to buy.

Don't play GG, it's shit. I play basically every mainline SF entry to this day and some Tekken additionally, that's enough for me. Other people like Virtua Fighter, Soul Calibur, KOF, MvC and the like so if that's your thing then go for it but I don't know how "alive" any of them are. The latest installments of SF and Tekken always retain a decent playerbase, and I can always play people in ST and 3S in fightcade, which also has stuff like KOF if that interests you, but stay away from ArcSys bargain bin garbage. They're dead games with an insular, exclusionary community that bitch about their game being dead and brag about playing GG like some sort of status symbol more than actually playing.

What's wrong with GG?

It's weeaboo

If you're willing to put in tons of practice then you can do some interesting shit with the console's default controllers. There's a unique advantage to four shoulder buttons and an easily accessible joystick. Grappler characters can generally pull off those ridiculous 360 and 720 motions easier with those controllers.

That being said, it's just a lot easier to visualize the six buttons laid out like that, especially for games like Street Fighter that use the traditional light, medium, heavy punches and kicks. Most fighting games, especially 2D ones, are also much better played with a d-pad and the default console controller's d-pad might not be ideal. On the other side of things, I can't play Tekken with anything other than a standard controller. I mostly depends on the game.

Other than its playerbase? Long and grandstanding combos with an annoyance factor that is more punishing than necessary if you get caught by them, certain move inputs that don't flow and are complex for the sake of it (which is not where execution barriers should stem from), and insidiously ball-busting okizeme that highlights the wanting defensive options

Persona 4 Arena seemed to have had a very active playerbase when it was new. Then again, it's the only online fighter I got a fairly high ranking in (A+) so maybe there wasn't actually much competition or I just got pretty lucky.

Fuck trying to learn fancy combo's, that's a trap. Practice spacing, anti-airs, which buttons are safe and unsafe (this goes for all characters), and learn to guard/patience.

You will lose a shit load of games since you won't have big damage or gimmicks, but you'll build a strong foundation which will help you much better in the long run.

Sounds more like Blazblue to me, unless you just don't understand airdashers and lump them all together.

Average combo length and execution difficulty in GG isn't that different from say, Tekken. Oki is strong but some people like it that way and the game has lots of different universal defensive options

I am really good at fighting games open challenge to all of people here in street fighter iii 3rd strike
does anyone want to play with fellow bro on fightcade

What's FC?

Following tutorials on Youtube or whatever and following some autistic regimen may be more efficient but kills the experience even further for most people. Once you venture beyond playing the game, or arranging matches and chatting with people who also play the game, you're no longer treating the game as play but as work.
The reality is that almost all new players don't have enough emotional investment into the game to bother with 50 or so hours of dedicated grinding in the first place. If they're not seeing results by just playing the game naturally with a bit of labbing here and there, like if the entry level online play is too far above their head, they'll just play something else.

Its a program that lets you play arcade games in multiplayer you can also play games like wind jammers neoturf masters and cadilacs and dinosaurs

I meant what's his FC ID
