im okay at them

I know the basics but I am not good at putting them into practice. Oh well.
Adrian Smith
Top 100 at SFIV
Jackson Sullivan
Good enough that none of my friends want to play with me but don't have the drive to improve enough for netplay or competitive.
Daniel Scott
I was always really good at Soul Calibur, at least among my friends. Other than that, not really.
Ian Adams
Absolute garbage I used to be good then around sfa3 I just couldn’t hang anymore.
Jonathan Butler
Probably 3-4/10
Combo execution is almost good enough to do by doing it for an hour in a non hyper
Footsies is average. I will lose like crazy if they just walk up and the all the time. I will never tech the first one
Whiff punish is ok
need to get better at learning which normals are unsafe on block. Needs work overall once I get and imma try to commit to getting good
Ayden Clark
better than the people i used to play them with, and thats all that matters
Isaac Adams
If we have any more of these threads today I'm going to rip someone's ears off.
Mason Hill
I'm the best in the whole world, but I don't play at tournaments or anything because it would be unfair to everyone else. They would have to create a new category called "the best [insert fighting game here] player that isn't [my name].
Christopher Bell
complete garbage, same as any other game
Jackson Rodriguez
>waaah video game threads on Sup Forums
go back to your containment board weenie
Brody Allen
super plat
Aiden Martinez
I made it to orange rank in Under Night and kept it for a good two weeks before moving back to yellow.
Samuel James
im very bad at fighting games
why do you ask?
Brayden Wright
I'm decent would get wrecked by anyone who plays meta. I'm pretty gud at Soul Calibur but I stopped after 4 when Bamco decided to make 5.
Hopefully the reboot? is fun
Nathaniel Sanchez
>meta
Explain. Do You just mean character?
Justin Ward
>tfw lost to DSP at USF2 on stream
feels bad man
Robert Cox
These threads just end in retards screaming about games they hate and wanting them to change to accommodate them.
Carson Lewis
How good are YOU OP? You ask us all the time and you know Sup Forums hates fighting games. How do you feel about them?
Isaiah Phillips
I went 5-17 yesterday in Skullgirls. Taking applications from pro teams
Michael Johnson
Is that a real screenshot? I never played much Street Fighter growing up but I played a fuck ton of Mortal Kombat and that's definitely a MK3 stage, so what the fuck am I looking at?
Henry Hill
It's MUGEN
Aiden Martin
Am a warrior in Tekken. I think that's pretty good.
Isaiah Davis
Been getting into it the last few months. Been playing dbfz and tekken 7 and haven't done anything past the practice modes. I realised how difficult it is to play on a ps4 pad especially tekken for wave dashing/backdash so I ordered a street fighter stick. Any pros got tips on how you go about getting better? Been learning combos of the bnb spreadsheet for dbfz but not sure how to learn good footsies and everything else. Haven't done much on tekken except practising movement and going through novelists
Jeremiah Ward
Better than anyone I know, worse than everyone online. Dead in the middle at locals
Kayden Butler
I miss playing fighting games in person. It's like poker, a totally different experience than playing online. Someone that's good at playing online might not be able to handle face to face Tekken.
I want local tournies.
Bentley Rodriguez
Be the change you want to see
Gavin Stewart
I usually get decent at the ones I like. I was a 1st Lord on MVC3, Ultra Gold on SFV. I could beat a lot of people in the arcades on MVC2... I love KOF14 but the online is so dead that my rank is still around the rookie tier but got decent enough with the max mode hit confirms and short hops, which is what this game's all about.
I was planning on getting good on DBFZ but lost interest in the game pretty quick due to the garbage online.
Jason Sanders
Would you be willing to fork over $8-10 a week for a weekly tournament (with a small prize pool) and a venue to meet other fighting game players? If so then yeah, I could make it work.
Cooper Morris
Absolutely not, especially for Tekken. But good luck regardless
Christian Clark
Not him but I'm in the perfect spot in texas to be at least 3 hours away from any notable scene and I can't make constant trips. I've been trying since high school to drum up interest but got nothing.
Aaron Murphy
I like to play as the Joke characters.
Luke Anderson
What ever happened to the Queen of Fighters?
Nathan Nelson
It's dead, Jim.
Jason Turner
I got to silver only playing for a month so I think I’m on my way
Anthony James
Better than Mugem
Evan Evans
I was legit good at SF4, OK at ST, HnK and Waku Waku 7 and shit at everything else.
Matthew Williams
>youngfags will never know what its like to play fightan games during their peak against other random kids at your local arcade.
Thomas Torres
Someone using an emulator probably pulled the background layer from one game and then pulled the sprite layer from another and put them together.
Lucas Myers
Nevermind, saw this post. Never knew about this...looks interesting
Blake Moore
That's pretty much where I'm sitting with my Mika after 3 months of on and off play. I'd probably be a lot higher if I didn't have terrible anxiety and can only play when incredibly drunk.
Elijah Evans
Terrible. My first real time playing against others online and offline. But I am really enjoying it. Got a stick and replaced the buttons too.
Landon Moore
I'm stuck in that awful zone where I'm far better than all my friends but get completely raped online even at lowest rank. So its not fun either way.
Noah Rogers
I love fighting games but I've always been horrible at them. At least I'm 250 lbs all muscle in real life.
Wyatt Ramirez
Daniel Mitchell

Connor Long
>How good are you at Fighting Games
absolute dog shit, no strategy just mindless mashing.
Jace Turner
Reminder that you can't claim to be good at fighting games if you play top tier characters no matter how many tournaments you've won
Hudson Flores
Reminder that only scrubs shackle themselves down with pointless limitations.
Nicholas Nguyen
I'm no pro, but I'd be down to practice some dbfz with you sometime.
Ryder Young
>pointless limitations
It's called "one's own rules" and the highest of respect is for people who are successful who cripple themselves and still triumph over tier whores
Lincoln Jenkins
homray get her ass kicked
Julian Anderson
well that really depends on the game, but over all...eh? Im one of those faggots who only plays with his friends so it's a bit hard to get a real sense till I go online and someone hands me my scrotum.
Jacob Torres
remember when Sup Forums used to play SFIV together? we had some SFV lounges a couple years ago too. I can't even imagine that now. what happened to this board?
Kevin Murphy
If you feel the need to compare yourself to a tier whore, your ego is still far too out of control.
Aiden Robinson
Make the lobby friend
Easton Martinez
I'm terrible at them but I love them
Isaiah Richardson
we play under night regularly
i'd imagine people would play SF again too if popular opinion of it were better, then again /fgg/ exists so most people that like fighting games frequent there too
Nicholas Kelly
I'm not comparing myself with anyone, i'm just saying that tier whores deserve no respect no matter how "good" they might be and that people who play bad characters and do well do deserve praise. That is all
Robert Rogers
There's one that goes on regularly, but not every single day, but they get hounded for being a general and breaking the rules.
Jose Kelly
>tfw yellow in tekken
>tfw silver in SFV
>tfw playing street fighter for decades and tekken 7 is my first tekken
It's kinda heartbreaking, but I guess I'm just better at 3D fighters than 2D. Just wish I had known it sooner.
Tyler Turner
What do you say to a person who happens to feel like a character fits their particular style like a glove, but they happen to be A+ tier?
Josiah Murphy
Really? I don't play that game but it looks cool.
>/fgg/ exists
They don't play fighting games anymore either. Very rarely. Most of the trip/namefags went to the faggot ass discord server and go figure, they were the only ones who actually wanted to play. Everyone else that actually likes playing fighting games and not shitposting all day made their own gens for their games.
In what? SFV?
Jayden Barnes
The people in the other generals don't play either. The only people that want to play have gone to discord already. This place is only for shitposting at this point.
Josiah Nelson
Yeah in SFV
Juan Lee
Call them a tier enthusiast.
Dylan Ramirez
>style
>A+ tier
Bullshit, their "style" is to be a shitter and win at all cost. There are exceptions when someone play a character in a very original way but those are very few, most tier whores are flowchart briandead scrubs
Austin Kelly
it's pretty late man. I don't want to end up quiting early because I'm tired. I'll make one later today though next fighting game thread.
Dominic Wright
That's what I mean by ego. A character can be liked on plenty of merits other than just what a collection of heads say they're good at. You've still got a lot of thinking to do.
Ian Martin

Lazy but I still have fun
Ian King
I'm barely scrapping 1000 LP after almost 3 months of playing SFV.
Sebastian Brown
The people you play in your first match are not studying anything. They are mashing the easiest stuff to win. Bronze Kens are not good players all you have to do is learn to block. Then you can move on to the next level of scrub town. One of the worst mistakes you can make is to mentally defeat yourself. Understand that the guy on the other end of the screen is a person too. At lower ranks know that you are one correct adjustment from winning.
Angel Foster
Lotsa niggas feel like they belong in a ferrari but are they real drivers?
Carson Rivera
I mean play whoever the fuck you want however the fuck you want it's your game but just don't expect respect.
Would you respect Floyd Mayweather the same if he would have gotten that record by fighting on the women's league and only ever fought female boxers? No you wouldn't, you would have zero respect for him regardless of how "good" he might be
Parker Miller
What character? I guarantee I can get anyone to silver easy. I know you people are overthinking it.
Daniel Sanders
Top panel of pic related is me, so pretty fucking bad. I spent around 20 minutes doing 1 veteran mission in Under Night for Hyde and I'm pissed at how awful I am when I play online. It doesn't help that the games I'm interested in are either dead, have shit netcode or not popular.
I got an arcade stick since it's much then the shitty d-pad on PS4, but at times when I'm playing against opponents, I get nervous ride the gate and my inputs are not clean, plus I feel my hands are tense whenever I play and I have to take a break. What hurts is I know I'll never be a top player, but I can't stop playing. I still enjoy playing them but in the competitive aspect, I'm complete trash.
Anyone have advice for this sort of feel?
Hunter Stewart
>Get absolutely destroyed because I never looked up the optimal metagame developed over thousands of hours by hundreds of autists that I should have been using for that character
absolutely not true
people at low ranks are fucking bad as shit and you can pick the lowest of low tier characters and beat anyone when you first hop online
Brody Wilson
Easton Ward
I just don't think it's worth wasting time worrying a if someone's worthy of "respect." A win's a win unless you're blatantly cheating or hacking your game. Thoughts like "you're only where you are because your character is good," or "they only won because my character is lower than theirs" are very damaging and hold you back.
Carter Davis
>>tfw yellow in tekken
with what character
Hunter Edwards
desensitize yourself to being nervous when facing other humans by facing other humans a lot? I dunno. I get how you feel but the only solution I can think of to overcome a fear is to do it so often it becomes mundane.
If you're looking for being able to get lots of matches quickly I suggest fightcade. Pick one of the more populated games (Jojo, Kof 98, Kof 2002, 3S) and grind matches constantly. Maybe even talk to them. It doesn't matter if they're not your favorite fighting games to play or if you get destroyed over and over, the goal is to get you accustomed to playing people so you don't get nervous when you play Undernight or whatever.
Jason Bennett
Mostly Laura, because I like oki shenanigans and brown tiddies. I also play Cammy, though not as often.
Jordan Nguyen
>live in Australia
>everyone has shit internet and the community is tiny
fuCK
Wyatt Wilson
Floyd Mayweather would still be the genius he is but there is not merit in beating women who are biologically weaker than men
Fact of the matter is that some characters are better than others and if you pick a good character you have an advantage over others and that lowers my respect towards you. It's as simple as that
Jaxon Campbell
>fightcade
>some BR ahuehueheuehehuing you across 300 ping in some dead game
Julian Sanchez
Different guy but I play Cammy and I'm just as bad. The only thing I've really learned is to not randomly spiral arrow from full screen because human players are not CPU players and they'll block and punish you every time.
Nathan Nguyen
Youre a bronze player. You do not have oki.
Back up charge fireball. Walk behind it and stmk. c fp for cc baits. Use your vskill constantly. Bronze players dont block overheads and even if they did, they arent punishing it. Block random dps and use stHk > EX elbow. Then exdash throw on wakeup.
Congrats you are now silver.
Ryder Reed
Retard
Samuel Hughes
I have a perfect 3-0 record in Guilty Gear Accent Core +R online play, but as I know I couldn't possibly handle the pressure of Daigo levels of fame I've chosen to retire.
Julian Jones
Cammy is easy to auto pilot to victory. C mp > C mp > drill is your braindead hitconfirm. Walk up and do it repeatedly. Learn what a tick throw is. Walk up to the opponent press jab then throw them. Bronze players do not late tech so dont try shimmying.
As before, block dps and stHK > Knee bullet > c mp > dp > super. If you want to get fancy, use ex divekicks for free pressure. You are now silver.
Jaxon Morales
t. butthurt faggot who has creeps in the lobby for any new name

Liam Gutierrez
Xavier Flores
I didn't expect to reach an agreement on this, but whatever. I'm not a fan of tiers as a main factor of character selection in general. Mainly because tier whores do exist, and the annoying "lol you lost to x/so what if I lost, I'm just playing x" option select exists. I like people that choose characters that fit the playstyle they want like a glove and/or they like that character's style in general.
Landon Torres
kinda stupid way of thinking considering that not everyone picks a character because of their tier positioning
not to mention as games go through several iterations, characters often jump from being bad to top tier and vice versa.
Bentley Allen
The fuck is wrong with you?
Nathan Martinez
Thanks my dude I'll give it a try.
Michael Stewart
as recently as last year there were regular guilty gear threads with lobbies but they got chased off to /vg/

QUACK QUACK. THERE'S NO ECHO, NIGGA, THERE'S NO ECHO.
