They require discipline and practice, something Sup Forums loathes.

Who farted?

I just did.

Playing video games does not require discipline, autist. Fighting games require "practice" in the sense that you will get better the more you play, which is naturally what happens when you obsessively spend hundreds of hours playing a single video game.

Is Sup Forums good at any videogames? I was under the impression nobody played anything here.

No. The only "games" Sup Forums "plays" are glorified visual novels and walking simulators

>The Witcher
>Telltale's The Walking Dead
>Fallout New Vegas
>Katawa Shoujo
>Doki Doki Literature Club

spoken like a true scrub

ive been playing tekken 7 since release, i have almost 400 hours on it mainly using kazuya and dragunov and i'm still learning new things all the time, its crazy how high the learning curve is and it doesn't even have a basic tutorial.

brrrrrraaaapppppp

Tekken is kusoge.

Truly getting good at fighting games takes more time and dedication than I'm willing to put it, but I still enjoy them a lot.

Also, Kauzya Mishima is my favorite fighting game character.

A lot of information tends to be hidden in a way that you have to go outside of the game in order to find it. Worst case I can think of recently was Tekken 7 which still has no basic tutorial. Those sponsored youtube videos don't help much either.
Combine this with jumping into a pool of already seasoned players and you get a bad time.

Even in the best cases, most fighters require a decent amount of labbing to be just average.

I think choosing KOF13 as my first game was a mistake.
I have to lean three characters instead of one, and there are many characters. Right now I'm trying to learn the ice girl.

even if kof13 only made you learn 1 char you still fucked up because that game is like a 9/10 on the training mode autism scale

I agree with the other user, you would do yourself a fair going for something a bit more friendly to a beginner, like Guilty Gear or even Tekken which is a pretty easy game to get into until you learn about korean backdash.

Yup.

I think I have a Guilty Gear on my Steam.

Man I should read some more Gon.
Wait can you call reading Gon "reading"?
Serious question here, it's just looking at pictures.

Because most people on Sup Forums don't pick up a fighting game with the intention of actually getting good at it. They're usually just drawn in because it's the popular thing at the time or by waifufags that just like the characters and don't really care about the game itself. Then they complain about stuff that's unfair or broken when it's really just normal fighting game shit that you can get around with basic knowledge and skill but they refuse to accept they're the ones that need to get better. Some of the stuff you see people say in fighting game threads when they're trying to talk about the mechanics or things like frame advantage and priority and it's incredibly obvious they just googled the terms real fast and don't know how they actually apply to whatever scenario they're talking about. And I'm not talking shit about people who just play casually and have fun despite not really trying to get better. I'm talking about the people who drop games within a week but think they're some kind of experts and keep coming into threads to complain about stuff that anyone who stuck with the game knows how to deal with already.

The people who play in the UNI threads are alright because most of them do actually seem dedicated to improving and don't give up even after being stomped by people clearly outside of their skill range.

Skewed priorities and the fact that they just don't like them.

Because Sup Forums is not good at video games in general and if you want to call someone else a casual you run the risk of being challenged and exposed.

Prove him wrong.

You got people with 500 hours of tekken in green ranks. You do not get better the more you play forever.

Because better better requires practicing with a real life acquaintance, something Sup Forums lacks.

Play a fighting game.

If you devote your life to adding up numbers, it won't make you into a mathematician.

I wanted to play fighting games because I wanted to try normal fighting games after playing melee for a while
but I wasn't a huge fan of any of them that I tried and playing them made me like melee less too

I'll have you know I'm very average

It's not just fighting games. Sup Forums sucks at everything and lick each other's wounds when someone gets their shit stomped in at any game. I saw someone console another poster and make excuses for them over megaman. Pussy wojack posters ruined everything around here.

Oh, like LowTierGod right?

Fighting games are one of the most unbalanced videogame genres in the market, if not the most:
>On any other videogame both opponents have a 50/50 chance to win, with skill and experience tipping the scales towards the best player while still giving the other player the chance to win
>Fighting games give 100-0 odds to the most experienced player; as soon as the match starts the veteran traps the newcomer / less experienced player into an infinite combo lock, with the victim being able to land a single hit during the entire match
>They don't reward true skill. The experienced player just has years of practicing the same absurdly complex inputs, inputs that made sense back then due to arcade machines' archaic controllers, not now when special attacks can and should be mapped to single buttons.

It's not a controversial fact. I don't understand why everyone, from Sup Forums to the FGC reacts so violently when you point at the elephant in the room.

I think they pick up a game with the expectation of getting "gud," instead of because they like it and that's a much worse problem. They just ask how it plays, try it for maybe a day, then quit if they aren't gods in that time. If you aren't interested in general, why bother? Because some shitpost threads on Sup Forums get to you?

saved

I can tell you don't actually play fighting games.

If you're being sincere, then you're actually retarded. Any competitive game worth anything is going to give 100% of the advantage to the player with more knowledge and skill. Otherwise, what's the point of getting good?

I have seen this before

Because I just like to play games for the story. When I buy a game I marathon it to get through it as fast as possible and then never play it again. Getting good at a game takes too long and us boring. In addition to that it is a largely useless thing to get good at.

>fighting game
>story
Honestly do what you want, most people that start these threads don't even play fighters themselves and want to harvest copypasta like

>Play fighting game with friend
>"Wait user im gonna check the moves realquick"
>"Wait friend me too"
>"Fuck i forgot that one move already"
>95% of the match is just pressing start and checking moves.
Id rather watch paint dry

I just like the cheesy stories. Games are just casual fun to me. I don't like to get too invested in them. I don't have any problem with people who do but it's just not my thing.

I just mash buttons.

Autistic people lack the cognitive ability to master high skill games. That's why they flock to meme shit instead.

surely its the opposite? I thought autistic people get super good at a very particular thing

not enough asians or blacks

idk ive been following everyones advice in fgg and causing myself extreme physical pain when I fail im doin everything and more and its been months i may just be to worthless to accomplish anything

Autistic people are good at things with minimal variables and guaranteed methods of success. Any time they are forced into a scenario where they have to change strategy or react on the fly they crumble. That's why so many of them are speed runners rather than EVO champions.

>minimal variables and guaranteed methods of success
I think you might be right. I'm autistic and I became an Accountant for the reason you said.

>him
>pretending it wasn't you that said that retarded shit

>If I pick up a guitar, and just play it with no real system put in place to teach myself how to play it correctly and well, ill get good if I do it long enough!

>If I start lifting weights without any time spent in learning about form, technique, and recording my results, I'll get big and strong if I just do it long enough!

>If I get a punching bag, and just hit it everyday, I'll become a great fighter!

>If I do my times tables everyday, after long enough I'll become a mathematician!

I really would love to continue because this fun, but I'm sure you realize by now that you're retarded

I know I'm right. I grew up with a brother diagnosed with autism.

I like them too man, did you read the spoiler? Don't take any of what you read here seriously because it's very likely the most vocal shitposters don't even play one game.

haha

>I don't like these things, therefore they are not games!

Why do you hate casual gamers? They keep the market thriving and our shitty hobby alive

>Go through a tutorial mode and learn all the moves and combo strings
>Get to an actual fight MFW
>Opponent just stun locks my ass before I can do shit

I've won local tourneys when I lived in South America for a Street fighter 3rd strike arcade cabinet in a pizzareia. Yes, all these 14 year olds would crowd around one arcade cabinet in a pizza shop while one kid would write tourney tables out on paper. We always ate there and filled up the cabinet with coins so the owner was cool with it, eventually he started giving us free credits for our "tourneys" because although we were a little loud, we were pretty well behaved and always have him business, we'd easily get 25-30 kids in the shop at once every other weekend. And yes, we'd pool money. Id always either win, or make it to third or second place, until a nip exchange student showed up and fucking destroyed us all and taught us about frame data and shit. Ever since moving to North America I've never gone to tourneys put I played a shitton of SF4 online and SFV. Currently an ultra platinum in V, whatever that means.


I miss being a kid

Fighting games is my favorite genre since I was a kid, too bad most fighting games released nowadays are fan service faggotry for casuals.

And they still can't play them.

Sup Forums is bad at all games

I don't have anyone to play with and practice occasionally, I'm not good at them to begin with but I enjoy playing them.
