Claims to like "hard but rewarding" games

Claims to like "hard but rewarding" games

Doesn't play fighting games

You're not that guy right Anon Babble

"REWARDING" is the key thing here.

I'm gay. What do I do

Yeah man I love OMF best game ever.

what can be more rewarding than punishing your opponent's whiff with a flash kick to the face?

spend thousands of hours perfecting your skills

get bodied by kid that just picked up the game abusing a broken character

Complete humiliation ritual. No wonder FGC bucks are all trooning out.now.

Having opponents is what made games toxic in the first place.

I'm not black so i don't play fighting games. Simple as.

TF2

that just means your fundementals are shit and you're too focused on trying to play fancy, stop trying to do optimal combos and focus on improving your neutral

What's rewarding about fighting/ranked games?
It's an eternal uphill battle. Literally just Sisyphus rock.

I don't play souls-likes. I don't play fighting games. I'm a sissy casual gamer who just wants to unwind after a long day and not have to clock in for a 2nd job.

The feeling of actually improving at something instead of just looking at gear scores and watching numbers go up

If you say so I guess.

What's rewarding about fighting/ranked games?

knowing that you've truly outsmarted someone trying to beat you. all singleplayer games are just series of levels designed to be beatable. All smoke and mirrors.

I can tell you just picked up a fighting game last month and now it's your new personality.

rewarding

lol

The most interesting part of games is where I get to think and plan. reaction-time rock paper scissors and muscle memory doesn't do that for me

outsmarted

name one smart or clever thing you can do in a fighting game that isn't "react quickly" or "recite song/dance I've been practicing"
"hrmm, my opponent is on the right side of the screen, I wonder if he has some sort of trap laid out. Oh wait we both have perfect information lol"

The only fighting games I like are dragon ball games. They all have shit netcode so you will be fighting 2 bar wifi pedros that teleport around being untouchable in every pvp game, sadly.

knowing that you've truly outsmarted someone trying to beat you.

That only happens when you get to do a best out of 3 rematches, lol.
Doing a quick game with just 3 stocks is never enough to outsmart your opponent because most matches go too quickly.

Fighting games.

Rewarding.

lol

I don't play online multiplayer. Fighting games have no worth to me.

i don't have crippling autism.

but they're not rewarding unless you can compete with people on exactly or very close to your own skill level
which doesn't happen

unless you jump in at release it's too late to get into a fighting game

but they're not rewarding unless you can compete with people on exactly or very close to your own skill level

why not?

nothing more rewarding than pulling off a perfect boardslide on your NRG900

ledge.webm - 1280x720, 1.5M

if you truly wanted to play a rewarding game you go play dota 2 and not some brain dead fighting game

literally every game out right now has a playerbase enough to not be a discord fighter. you have no clue what you're talking about.

SF6 has rollback netcode and it takes less than a mintue to get into a match with somebody of your skill level, no excuse

I don't like how Fighting Games feel.

everything's a fighting game

SF6 would be more fun without drive rush and bullshit input to try and do it from a parry which is annoying as a pad player. It also should look like SFV, huge feet and all because those were the best things about it to me.

And you're not doing either soicuck

I know I am not. I still play Tekken 7.

I like hard and rewarding games.
I like "autism games".
HOWEVER
I'm not actually autistic, therefore I will not be playing fighting games.

Didn't they add a new way to input DR or was that the parry thing you're talking about? I haven't played since launch really and I didn't like dash forward to DR combos.

name one smart or clever thing you can do in a fighting game that isn't "react quickly" or "recite song/dance I've been practicing"

Anon, all fighting games are about prediction, reaction matters little compared to reading your opponent. You feel like a psychic when you call out your opponent's habits, act two steps ahead of them, and effortlessly counter all their actions

Sorry, I only play real big-brain multiplayer games.

fightan games suck though. RTS are good.

What's rewarding about that? Using one of the most basic gameplay mechanics? That's the reward?

You make playing fighting games sound like a holy crusade against trannies and niggers, how tf is it worse than learning skills? It is a mission, a destiny!

Fighting games are clunky and it seems only black and brown people play them(outside of Asia)

Kino

I feel your struggle brother

Can you do a 1v3 and completely humiliate the 3 to the point of them eternally seething for 16 years straight at this point?
And you can just keep doing that to more people so much they start posing that avoiding you somehow elevates them from being garbage at the game?
Because that's what I call rewarding.

What reward do you get? They took out unlockable costumes and fighters out of every modern fighter to sell them to you.

all fighting games are about prediction

I'm aware, this is what I called the "rock paper scissors" element
I'm sure you feel like a psychic when you throw paper against rock
The reason you can effortlessly counter is because the problem space is so microscopic. Nothing needs a clever solution, its always plain as day what needs to be done.
The appeal of strategy is that a problem often has many layers that need to be teased apart

Platform fighters like the one you posted are unironically better than most because at least there's an element of positioning and less focus on autistically mastering combos

SF6 literally keeps catering to retards like you in the World Tour mode

Anon Babble is a subreddit for highly insecure losers who seethe at the slightest modicum of competition.

Rock paper scissors isn't rewarding.

Yet you piss and shit yourself with joy playing games designed to be beaten.

i unironically pity you for having such a self defeating hugbox mindset that will keep you weak forever.
I'm not even trying to shit on you or bait you

what's rewarding about playing and learning an instrument? there is only the way up against constant challenge and an end goal that doesnt exist, and if it does, you can never reach it.
same deal with any sports or arts.

think, anon
the process of learning and improving is the reward

as long as you don't throw a hissy fit that there's other people who do like challenging games, we are cool

you can pull hoes or create music with an instrument, terrible analogy

You can do the same playing fighting games.

you really should dive into and actually understand what you're trying to shit on, so you can do it properly.

everyone who knows how to play fighting games can immediately tell you're talking out your ass. only other retards will take you seriously

If I wanted to compete with real humans I’d just play sports.

Fighting games makes me rage like no other vidya genre.

1000007892.jpg - 2048x2048, 523.03K

Where do you think you're posting?

you can "pull hoes" by not having a loser mindset and being likeable in general.

a hobby should be something you do for self expression, self improvement and satisfaction of mastery, not to get other things in life, like some materialist retard

play many single player games and have fun

play 1 fighting game and be a shitter

I'll choose the first option. Fighting games have a horrible cost/benefit analysis

i don't know how to play fighting games and even i know he is full of shit i think at leaast

As long as they’re having fun, nothing else matters. Bitter fags like you only play games to feel superior to others and beat them, because you’re lacking in every other area in your life. You’re a loser in everything else, so winning against others in a game actually feels like an achievement (it isn’t).

damn, if only a person could have multiple hobbies or interests.
sadly, I already play fighting games, so it is illegal and impossible for me to have other hobbies. what a shame

i had my MOBA but it got killed

Oh wow amazing how it's le heckin different when applied to you.
Hypocrite.

You can have fun without winning. Same way you can play a game on ultra hard mode and still have fun even though you're dying 20 times at every boss fight.
To put it another way, in every singleplayer game you'll always be worse than some 1CC superplayer or a world record speedrunner. Does that effect your enjoyment knowing there are heights you'll never reach and skillful ways of playing you'd never think of on your own?

You can pull trannies, thats it.

some people like challenging games. and it's often casuals who scream to the high heavens about "accessibility" and contributing to the continuous enshittening of video game design so the dumbest gigaretard can beat their piece of shit game.

there are plenty of reasons to dislike casual gamers and why shouldn't you.
imagine if people suddenly came into any other hobby or interest and demanded the hobby needs to change to pander to them?

it's sociopathic, infantile behaviour.
if they don't cry and just play easy games, that's fine of course

Explain Xian

this post is sensible.
it's really all about mindset and perspective. sadly this will fly over most retards' heads and you'll be called some bait buzzword with no further engagement

Fighting games are not very fun, but require a huge amount of time and effort. They honestly shouldn't exist, if I had to pick one genre to destroy they would be first even ahead of gacha shit.

Guilty Gear Strive

session based games

rewarding

By that logic a hamster in a wheel does rewarding work

I’m a loser too, but at least I’m aware of it. Unlike you retards who think beating randos in fighting games is actually an achievement worth bragging about lol. Unless you’re competing in tournaments against world class players, then it means jack shit.

the sourest of grapes I have ever seen, holy shit

you are still buttmad that you got picked last in sports class, 15 years ago, aren't you

It's amazing how Anon Babbletrannies post the same cope endlessly while getting BTFO everytime.

Hey you forgot your Asuka avatar

One must imagine fighting game player happy

Yet you continue to post insecure projection while seething endlessly about others.

The FGC will

shit on you if you don't play fighting games

shit on you if you play but don't engage with ranked

shit on you if you play ranked and are low rank

shit on you if you are high rank but not pro

shit on you if you play professionally but are not the #1 player

Just a bunch of insecure, annoying faggots. Totally unbearable, like if you posted a gameplay clip they would micro analyse each frame and tear it down, if you offered to play they would attack you personally. Nobody who plays fighting games is having fun they're all miserable.

i do not usually i remember playing ultimate mortal kombat 3 on xbox 360 and there were a small amount of people who played often some of them would just fuck your shit up easy

the classic "if you can't do it on the world's highest level, it's not worth it" loser mindset.

it's a really nice cope for justifying why you never dare to try anything, instead of just facing the fact you are a coward. gross display.
at least you possess self awareness enough to call yourself a loser.
though honestly, that mindset of seeing yourself as a loser is probably why you hate effort and improving yourself so much. it hurts that you don't even dare try it.

you could be much more than what you currently think of yourself, yknow

games designed to be beaten.

What are some games designed to be defeated by?

This but for RTS games. If I'm playing a glorified board game I don't want to have to also be looking at the screen constantly spazzing the fuck out clicking and pressing shit

Anon Babble:gatekeeping is le heckin le based and le redpillederino

also Anon Babble le heckin le FGC is le full of meanie bobeanies who heckin won't let me le have le fun

if you think anonymous online people actually represent anyone, you're so fucked in the head and socially m8

if you go to fighting game meetups irl or seek out closer knit communities online, you'd realise most people are actually pretty friendly and want to see you improve and play with you

Every singleplayer game ever made.

Isn’t that the point of this post, to deride people who don’t like playing “rewarding” fighting games? This behavior just reeks of insecurity. You’re just playing games to feel superior to others, not to actually have fun. Not saying that all Fighting game players are like this, but OP clearly is one.

basically any coin-op game

and things like tetris

i quit competitive PvP games because they're genuinely way too addicting for me to have a healthy relationship with
i stick to casual mobile shit now

Fighting games don't have a goal and i'm not interested in doing the same thing over and over again because i'm not autistic.

look at the replies
they don't even have the decency to deny it kek

You were the one deriding them first.

T his whole genre is just begging to be reinvented, it's only being kept alive by dudes pushing 40 or 50 because it's the only the only genre they play and follow.
How has it been so stagnant for what, 35 years or so?
The basic formula just doesn't incentivize people to keep playing beyond the first few hours, yet you look at Street Fighter 1987 and Street Fighter 6 2023 and it's blatantly obvious even to non-gamers how little the formula has changed.

the FGC do be like that tho

NOOO STOP PLAYING LOW-TIERS YOU TRY-HARD

WOOOOOW NICE META PICK YOU SWEAT

You sound like the kind of guy who doesn't want to go to the gym because you think everyone will laugh at you behind your back, in reality 99% of people are either friendly or don't care

i always had the suspicion that pvp obsessed people also have general shit taste in games

I mean this sincerely, do you know what you're talking about?

Dafuq are you talking about? What games have you been playing? It sounds like you're talking about this website, not any actual spaces, forums, or chatrooms

That's blatantly untrue since the only people who regularly play the games play to win specifically which involves very unfun methods to do. Unless you are matched against an opponent who has the exact same mindset going in as you, or your opponent is literally forced into playing a fun strategy by external rules then 99% of the time all of the fun will be sucked out by your opponent doing a bunch of bullshit that basically amounts to "go fuck yourself". Competitive games are literally only fun when everyone is forced into playing at the same level with no workarounds or tricks

There are good reasons why both RTS and fighting games are basically dead in the dirt today, have been for well over a decade really.

I mean, I suck at writing but have written countless fanfics, all for the sake of fun. Doesn’t mean that I think it’s worth bragging about or that I’m delusional enough to think that I’m going to be the next Tolkien or GRRM.

I’m shitting on people who think they’re hot shit and superior to others because they’re partaking on a hobby that millions of other people do.

the goal is to improve. way to not understand something and dismissing it entirely based on your ignorance

i look forward to smashing you and your ilk and read your crying online while im on the shitter, once that riot fighting game comes out.
before you and all the other babies drop it after a week because it's too "toxic"

You play to win every game my dude.

trvth nvke

fighting games

rewarding

I button-mashed to the top of a Tekken 3 tournament back in the day. Just picked Eddy and mashed until the other guys were dead. EZ. Even won a Voodoo 2 card, fun times.

I got Tekken 7 for like 6euros and played it for some 15 hours, half of which was prolly spent in training and arcade modes. It was pretty fun and I agree that there is a sense of acomplishment as you notice yourself improve. When someone beat me I'd rematch until I beat them, but then they don't rematch me lmao.

I was thinking to get Tekken 8 but I only heard bad things about it, and it also doesn't have the character I learned in 7 (Katarina).

someone needs to reinvent football

someone needs to reinvent chess

someone needs to reinvent how cars work

someone needs to reinvent eating

you dense mongoloid

You don't deny being a whiny Anon Babblegroom scared of anyone being better than you either.

not that anon but I don't think I'm going to pick it up at all, it looks like total shit. I say this as a league player

not sure what you mean by unfun strategy. do you not know how to jump fireballs or what?

LMAO riot fighting game that shit is DOA no one is playing that bullshit actually play a game that has over 500k players playing it for once and where real competition is at

Beating randoms online does nothing for me honestly. I only enjoy fighting games when playing against people I know. Same with multiplayer RTS or tabletop games (playing online chess is the saddest shit you can do).

changed the name to something retarded and unpronouncable

stopped advertising it

keep ping ponging between genres

even the devs gave up bro you need to let go. been over a decade at this point

Did Riot's fighting game actually come out?

>someone needs to reinvent football

absolutely true, football is only the second most boring sport to watch behind baseball

>someone needs to reinvent chess

even bobby agreed vanilla chess is shit

>someone needs to reinvent how cars work

cars still not being atleast 100mpg by default is embarrassing

>someone needs to reinvent eating

eating is insanely inefficient

Yeah, because those games are fun.

Not yet but it's 100% will be DOA

someone needs to reinvent football

World's most popular sport beloved by billions.

someone needs to reinvent chess

World's most popular boardgame that has been relevant for over a thousand years.

someone needs to reinvent how cars work

The most ubiquitous form of transportation since they were invented.

someone needs to reinvent eating

Something we all do. All those things have also been significantly altered fundamentally since their invention as well.

Fighting games have peaked three decades ago and have declined into irrelevance since then, by now it would've completely faded into obscurity without third worlders clinging onto it.

Amazing how you trannies drop the facade the moment it's about fighting games.

Not yet but it's 100% will be DOA

No, that'd be Koei Tecmo's licensed fighting game.

You are not playing RTS either OP.

peaked three decades ago

more popular than ever

yeah honestly everyone here need to get good instead of complaining

fair enough. and it is silly to react aggressively smug about being good at a game.

but to be fair also, every time the topic gets brought up there's an equal amount of not more of loserfags who hate the fact that other people like to play fighting games and feel arrogantly smug about having no skill.

both sides are annoying, but being smug about not having a skill is worse than being smug about having one.

also keep up your writing anon, good stuff

I think people get tricked by the fact that ecelebs are excited for it, but thats only because they know Riot pumps a shit ton of money into esports. Actual casual interest in the riot fighting game has gone to zero

T8 isn't that bad if you are new to the series. People are mad at it bc it strays too far from prev tekkens gameplaywise with heat mechanics, chip damage etc
You won't catch me alive playing T8 but I can imagine newbies enjoying it, it is still a fun fighting game, it is just not focused on what makes Tekken good anymore.

it's the same reason only a small percentage of the population can properly play an instrument or a sport.

it takes effort. the only difference being sports and arts are culturally encouraged. if they weren't, the numbers would be as low

Definitely avoid that game and I'm not some negative steam charts faggot that hates everything. Tekken 8 enhances all the worst parts of Tekken, the 45 second long touch of death combos, the corner carry, minus Hwoarang every single character in the game has a worse design, I'm talking fur coats, random feathers around the neck, steve has a fucking choker collar. And the worst part is this heat system that constantly interrupts the match with these mini-cutscenes. Game sucks.

Why don't defeatist fags just kill themselves?

people who post anonymously online are mean to me for any arbitrary reason ;(

wow, what a revelation, anon

maybe try making actual human connections. jesus fuck

dying would be winning

rts is still way more alive then fighting games as a whole

Why don't you? You're not going to rank on the speedrunning life leaderboard with that attitude you fucking loser.

No it's not.

i look forward to smashing you and your ilk

Bold of you to assume that any of those who are not intersted in fighting games will pick up riot shit.

Plenty of people can play an instrument or play sport, what they can't do is win competitions and tournaments and that's what the entire FGC is built around and why it will never thrive. If you focus on fundies and casual enjoyment in the arts you are celebrated, in fighting games you are told to kys.

what have you reinvented or improved in your own life

besides the hypocrisy of demanding massive feats from everyone else while not doing anything relevant, you completely misunderstand why fighting game numbers and RTS numbers are low. it's because people at large have become increasingly dopamine addicted and would rather have a quick and easy dopamine hit rather rhan spending meaningful time with anything.

how many people do you know who have actual hobbies vs. people who just consoom as a "hobby"

No no you're the one crying about how people are better than you so there's no reason to try.
That's true for all of life so just kill yourself and save time.
Chop chop.

i like competitive games sometimes

fighting games

unless it's a mirror match, that's not competitive, that's a party game
competition mandates the most strict symmetry

bro it begins at character sel-

no, it does not

I have never won a tournament nor do i care to but go every week to my local, now what tranny?

Good for you bro, but the vast majority of people don't enjoy shelling out real money to get their ass beat on a regular basis. You're what's known as a "cuckold", basically someone with a humiliation fetish, and you're a small minority of the population.

lol you still dont realize how dead fighting games are if it wasnt for sf6 this genre wouldn't be a thing

bust.png - 1182x998, 443.08K

imply X is absurd

get push back on why it's not

deflect and make it personal

why are NPCs like this

that is your opinion and it is wrong and misinformed.

the vast majority of fighting game players play for fun and casual ish competition.and again, those supposed people who tell you to kys only exist online with a veil of anonymity between them and the other person. this just tells me you don't spend enough time with actual people

also, "plenty" of people wouldnt play an instrument if it wasnt culturally encouraged, like i already said. way to not adress an important point

No what it actually takes an interest the thing. Any rando can pick up an instrument and play whatever the fuck but nobody became a rockstar without being a fame obsessed psycho who specifically wanted the lifestyle. Unless you're actively interested in pursuing it further no amount of practice will equate to you ending up like that. And why the fuck would someone who doesn't give a shit about playing guitar master it anyways? It's not some statement about their laziness. Some people build their identities around whatever stupid bullshit and some people will be interested in seeing them be good at that bullshit but never engage with it themselves. It's retarded to say that the people in the crowd are lesser because they don't give a shit about being on stage and spend all of their time trying to get there

rts are still far more alive then every fighting game its actually pretty funny to look at

rts.png - 1205x1056, 492.92K

Why are Anon Babbletrolls like this when reality doesn't synch with their tranny narrative?

nooo you can't point out smug hypocrisy and make valid and self evident points against what I said ;((

the goal is to improve

Improving is not a goal, it's something you do naturally on your way to the goal.

Nice nice, now post those console RTS players.

okay yeah the game isn't fun and people are shitty online but you just need to go out and meet them irl :) irl we're cool!

putting aside how normalfaggy this opinion is - no, you aren't cool in real life either. you're a bunch of annoying fags and frankly I have better things I could be doing

yeah, the vast majority of people would rather stagnate until they die than leave their hugbox, what a profound insight

hell, most people are too insecure to even go to a gym even if they wish to become stronger, because they feel self conscious and would rather stay where they are than be uncomfortable for a millisecond

I have not and will not play your genre, I don't care how dead it gets or how desperate you are for a larger player pool. You could offer to suck my dick and let me win and I still wouldn't play it. Fighting games fucking suck, you just mash buttons.

so there's no reason to try

And if I don’t want to try because I have no interest in Fighting Games? If you’re going to brag then you gotta show the receipts, and defeating strangers online isn’t the badge of honor that you think it is.

The "community" aka the guys who suck but make their personality being an expert at a game they are forever stuck in mid-rank. Those fuckers that are analyzing videos for tiny mistakes are useless blowhards who have no actual skill they just spend all day online becoming an "expert" (who judges that? themselves?).

I've been playing fighting games since the 90s and FPS since the 00s. Those "experts" that watch games and make comments are rarely any better than a random kid with 50 cents in his pocket. They're the 1 to 1 equivalent of a big fat guy yelling at an athlete on his television screen to make better sports plays. Please ignore them, actual high level players will shake your hand win or lose and give you tips if you ask.

FGC thread

full of insufferable trannies

not surprising

fighting game main platform is pc now and you cant make me believe that have way more players playing on a system where you have to pay to play online

If you had no interest you wouldn't be here coping.
Now get to that suicide.

it can also be both. mine and your stance aren't mutually exclusive.

but you know very well yourself that most people quit or stop improving once life gives them pushback on an endeavor

You first.

Okay cool, noticed you posted a bunch of cope but not what I asked.

what's rewarding about playing and learning an instrument? there is only the way up against constant challenge and an end goal that doesnt exist, and if it does, you can never reach it.

NTA, but playing an instrument allows for self-expression once you learn it. You can arrange existing tracks in a new way or even compose your own music. Fighting games are very different. There's only so many options that are viable at any given moment. High level fighting game gameplay is about trying to read the opponent's patterns of behavior and making your own as unpredictable as possible. Certain moves have to be reacted to in a certain way to "beat" them and you have to learn a proper way to counter them.

same deal with any sports or arts.

Sports yes, arts no. Arts involve a creative process and the artist has complete control over it. It's only limited by their technical abilities, whereas technical abilities are just a part of what's necessary for success in fighting games. Like FGs, sports is also about trying to counter and outsmart the opponent.

cope??? lol the proof data is right in front of you and you cant accept it

Everything is creative retard.

there are literally dozens of sayings in common parlance about how the way is thw goal/reward and not the destination.

are you the kind of retard that tries to improve themselves to get something, rather than improving for betterment's sake and realising other goals in life are a natural result of this process? holy shit.

thats a nice way to dodge any responsibility of having to adress valid points made against your position I assume. stay a coward forever, i guess

you are literally bad at every game, I can tell

it might not be, but when was the last time you bested anyone at anything? do you even know what winning feels like?

and lazy typing "i accept your concession" or "reddit spacing" in order to "win" an argument on an anonymous online serbian glass blowing forum doesn't count

proof data

doesn't post for what I asked

>Claims to like "hard but rewarding" games

>Doesn't play fighting games

The fgs I like are dead. I'm no ytber/streamer so I have 0 reasons to force myself and play this dogshit gen. The only fg worth something in this era has been ignored by the troonfgc. I boot up fc once in a while for some ST and thats it.

People often get flights of fancy about new or novel ideas. Them giving up on them from getting pushback isn't a failing of their character either. It just means they weren't actually that interested in it to begin with. You're only ever actually going to really like a handful of things ever. For example let's say that there's someone who picks up a free boat thinking "Oh a boat sounds cool I want one" and then give up on it when they realize it will be a a huge money pit and a ton of responsibility. Are you going to say that they really wanted to be a captain deep down and just gave up because they were too lazy or something? Obviously not. They just liked the idea for a little bit but didn't have any interest in the real deal life of being someone with a boat

They're the 1 to 1 equivalent of a big fat guy yelling at an athlete on his television screen to make better sports plays. Please ignore them, actual high level players will shake your hand win or lose and give you tips if you ask

cathartic to see someone else feel this way

i respect your post, but something tells me you've never seriously practiced a sport. it's as much an art as other things. some of them we even call martial arts for a reason.

these are also about self expression, just in different ways and some more than others

lol the player base on console isn't big enough to make up the difference and if you believe it is i have a bridge to sell to you

Yesterday when I beat my brother at chess. Didn’t really feel anything.

What about you?

You said "rewarding" tho

what part of fighting games especially online is "and rewarding" ? its just people abusing juggling and the french.
fighting game "combo inputs" are pure nonsense aswell. inb4 skill issue don't care, make human playable games you fucking autists.

So you are coping and can't post what I asked?

can't disagree with that. this is also true.

but I do observe many people having no drive whatsoever to express themselves in any meaningful way. be it through sports, arts or any other activity that takes time and dedication to become decent at.

the other explanation is that most people aren't really interested in anything beyond the next daily life thing they have to do and the next dopamine hit. dunno which is worse

there are literally dozens of sayings in common parlance about how the way is thw goal/reward and not the destination.

This has always been pure cope.

Good news this entire gen of fighters has been tailored for retards with two left hands like you

was the victory meaningful, or was he not a hard opponent?

I am working on a videogame, I do what many others can't, it makes me proud of what I've achieved. but i also do play fighting games regularly. both online and in person

Well, even real life sports allow for more freedom of expression than FGs for the simple reason that you have a full control over your own body. In FGs there's realistically about 6 moves that are viable for you in neutral or oki at any given moment. You just roll a dice between these, then you maybe notice that your opponent is reacting in a certain way and try go for the ones that they don't expect more, maybe there are some combos you can do on hit confirm. It's all there is too it, it's really not very deep. If you removed the flashy animations, barely anyone would find it interesting.

I accept your concession

there is a video of a literal dog doing a hadouken...
you can't be this coordinatively retarded as a person who plays videogames

if you weren't a young person with no life experience you'd know better

im not talking about hadouken obviously you fucking fag i mean

What you say fuck me for? I just informed you that you could actually play fgs in this day and age since they were conceived for lazy bitches like you, go enjoy them.

"Rewarding"

Grind out having to play with subhuman faggots like OP as little as possible because all of fighting game design revolves around optimizing how little you actually have to play the game

Yeah no I'd just go play something actually fun

What you say fuck me for?

you called me a retard retard. if you don't want me to tell you to go fuck yourself don't call me stuff.

You should be less sensitive on this board anon.

you should really get into a fighting game one of these days.
they are quite a bit deeper than you think.

human psychology and empathy is the real game being played beneath all the graphics and the physical player input.

and in some sports, yeah, you are right but in many also not.
i've been kickboxing for years and desu the options you have as an attacker or defender are not much more complex if at all than a fighting game.
in many instances the options of what you can do is actually a good bit larger in a FG

i like fighting games

So you've never heard the term player expression?

That's what Smash Bros and Nickelodeon fighters (there's another one with like Scooby Doo and Batman I think) are for.

Hey, wasn't League of Legends getting ready to release a 2D fighting game with simple inputs like 3 years ago? What the hell happened to that? Did I miss the release?

They do but if they don't really talk to people and have no interest in content creation you'd never find out anyways. I cook for instance. That's my outlet. Only a handful of very close people know I can. I don't want to be a chef. I don't want to run a social media account and post pictures. If you saw me you'd probably think I had no drive towards anything and no creativity because what the fuck would it be your business to know about anyways? A lot of people are passionate about things you'll never see or maybe wouldn't notice. Not every interest has a visible result to others and that's fine man. Nobody actually needs to "get good" at something that will get them external validation. Some people might want that but that's their prerogative. It's about what you're interested in

yeah, let's just go with an egregious example.
also any of this is less complex than playing a piece of music by heart and literally anyone who is not a total beginner can do that.

you're just bad at games, give up the second you can't instantly do something easily and are angry about people who aren't retarded at their hobby

Fucking retard, they even made an input method just for you, and even made it playable in ranked and actually viable at a high level. Just admit you don't want to get bodied by people good at games

Its hard to have freedom of expression when you're genre is a 2d side scroller not only that it's also not dynamic

lowering player requirements input wise only highlights that the actual hard part of fighting games is the fundamentals and beginners and weaklings will get btfo even harder this way.

i agree with doing things for their own sake. but if you're passionate about something, i'd think it would come up sooner or later in conversation.

but yeah, probably more people do things than it seems on the surface

make dancing mat inputs for a controller game

Fighting games are made by literal shizos.

Gaming with another man is gay

it's not dynamic

wow, you found a way to make it appear to have a critique while saying actually nothing that means anything. hows it feel to slowly learn to use language big boy?either that or you're legitimately low IQ

do you not realise you're supposed to slide the dpad/stick in quarter circles or what have you and not literally tap different directions?

lol you clearly never played a real dynamic game before

If a fighting game doesn't allow me to make a silly custom character, it simply isn't worth my time.

opponent starts spamming OP attack or mashing buttons

lose

Nice "game" you got there

i prefer my NGR9000

Having opponents is what made games toxic in the first place.

HAHAHAHA

He's literally played SF6 for a week and is already better than like 80% of the playerbase, you literally have no excuse

Tyler1.jpg - 400x400, 20.52K

Why do people keep posting this in hope of getting responses?

you won't play them anyways, no need to use egregious examples that don't actually highlight what you think they highlight to justify your lack of backbone.

just say you're not interested. why do you feel the need to justify yourself to internet strangers?

Beating online randoms isn't rewarding at all, retarded frogposter (redundant)

He's literally played SF6

sf6 and mordern fighting games are literally built for retards like him, play 3S.

i love 3S too, but replies like this only makes people resent you and lower the chances of them actually playing 3S

I think it is.
have you not realised people can have different viewpoints and feelings?

typically people reach this awareness around age 3-6

there are fighting games where mashing will get you nowhere but you aren't playing those either

Why do 4tranners love to claim they play old games nobody actually does?

Fagging games are not fun. The lack of fun is what's causing their community to troon at a comical rate

I realized other people's opinions don't matter.

soli.png - 565x447, 28.17K

but replies like this only makes people resent you and lower the chances of them actually playing 3S

That's not a bad thing, that's great even!

why is it inconceivable to you that some people actually enjoy old games?

Fighting games are not worth the trouble. I've played fighting games all my life and quit 5 years ago. Its not worth the grind.

i want people to not like my favourite fighting games for the right reasons, not because some fag online is mouthing off

casual faggot

soy.gif - 306x306, 1.81M

different people have different value systems depending on age and live situation. crazy

to be fair though ive also been playing them less and less basically ever since SFV came out.
am having a blast with CotW though. even if i lose half my life because someone's autistic non stop pressure nicks me into a full combo on confirm, while I struggle with Tizoc

1. fighting games are only as hard as your opponent makes them

2. I don't like playing against insufferable cunts which rules out most fighting game players

seems like you have thin skin and/or have no way to play offline locals

anyone who says either of those things is a massive faggot

fighting gaymes

hard

For me it's the fact that some shitter playing his easy characters beats me (I play difficult, high execution characters) by spamming safe shit, then he sits back and thinks he's good at fighting games. That arrogance makes me rage like nothing else, these people are fucking dogshit and yet they delude themselves into thinking they're good because they put in 1/2 the effort but get rewarded because they picked the easier character.

If you play a shoto, you're dogshit
If you play a zoner, you're dogshit
If you play a grappler, you're dogshit
If you play rushdown, you're dogshit
If you play a 50/50 guessing game, you're dogshit

The only respectable archetypes are setplay, stance (real stance characters like Gen, not Leo), buff and defensive, AND actually require execution (dozens of hours in training grinding out combos, routes etc.)

Says the one seething at modern games while jerking off about a safe oldest pick.

I don't claim to like that shit. I fucking hate games built on inputting frame perfect combo strings. I don't like character action either.

yeah, how dare anyone want something meaningful out of their hobby

they are hard, as evidenced by the mountains of sour grapes fags that pop up every time a fighting game thread happens on Anon Babble

literally half the posts are people crying about not being able to play them

fighting games

rewarding

yes, i love being rewarded with elo and the same fucking gameplay for hundreds of fights

the only respectable character is the guy who refuses any interaction, just do his 1000 hands with one billion pushback and does weird angle jump ins...because huh...STANCE

you're just getting blown up by fundamentals, still. lmao

the fact alone you mention setplay as respectable lets everyone know exactly the type of player you are.
namely the fag that labbed combos and mixups like crazy, spamming mixups mindlessly into someone's face until something hits and you can do your combo, rinse and repeat.

and i know for a fact you fold like all of your kind as soon as someone knows how to block and space correctly. keep getting swept three times in a row

elo

The most interesting part of games is where I get to think and plan

Which tells me you probably only play single player games or turn based games, which might as well be single player the way you play them (taking forever to make a single move even in early game). I know people like you, and you're all the same. You claim to be "deep thinkers" but really you're just 90 IQ and indecisive. It takes you 15 minutes to reach the same conclusion I make in 15 seconds about a move.

they are hard, as evidenced by the mountains of sour grapes fags that pop up every time a fighting game thread happens on Anon Babble

literally half the posts are people crying about not being able to play them

you have literally assist that help you combo entire chain with one button
there is nothing hard about fighting game retard
even a toddler eventually will learn how to position himself and block

? Most fg operate on an elo/pseudo elo system nowadays, even soivers made an app back when the game launched to determine elo since the rankings were trash

setplay

In other words 50/50 bullshit

that has nothing to do with what I said. you seem to think of yourself as a patrician god of old games.

play me in 3S then

there are basically no frame perfect combos left in fighting games. at least none that are (semi)required. and even in SFIV they were only useful and viable in high level play. you're just looking for a reason to not have to challenge yourself. fair enough, but don't be a princess about it

but majority of fgs playerbase is literal niggers and downbeat chinks

yeah, how dare anyone want something meaningful out of their hobby

hello there mr. faggot nice to see you out today
hobbies are for fun and/or relaxation, it's for subhumans like you that feel the need to "prove" yourself with """hard""" games

the evidence is on my side. you just keep spouting an opinion

do you even play fighting games?

The FGC is dead so I couldn't care less. It's was fun while it lasted.
It's all corpo homo faggotry now that desperately pushes e-sports.
Daigo looks like a dead corpse playing those games he is in his 40's ffs.

Makes two male characters trans

I dont think that's it, chief

and all of them are better than you
how embarrassing

and how does it feel to be worse than them?

some people get fun out of challenging themselves and others. any meaningful hobby is that, in essence, namely challenging yourself.
you'd know this if all your "hobbies" weren't just mindlessly consooming things you couldn't even conceive of, nevermind make

Offline is the only way I can enjoy fighting games because I know people who are actually mature and fun to play against, and I don't get matched against insufferable people to whom sportsmanship is a foreign concept. Fighting games are second only to MOBAs (another genre I cannot stand to play due to the playerbase) where being a total cunt is something the playerbase believes is not only expected of them, but their god given right, and if you point out that other games don't have people behaving this way they call you "thin-skinned" like you do, which tells me all I need to about your conduct in online gaming.

evidence

what evidence retard
I played more 3rd strike that you shitter have been online with SF6 or whatever the fuck you consider a fighting game now.
There is nothing hard about those games.

but majority of fgs playerbase is literal niggers and downbeat chinks

Don't play modern fighting games then, that's their demographic.

But yes i agree, they killed the genre, no one wants to play with niggers chimping out

Most of the earth's population are niggers and chinks, what is your point? The fact you get bodied by such people just means you're bad at video games. And no, sticking to genres where you can bore your opponent to death and win because he disconnects doesn't prove you're superior.

my conduct in online gaming is not caring if someone is a cunt. do you get emotionally agitated when a retarded chihuahua or pug barks at you?
cunty online players are exactly that. you know damn well they do this because it's the only ennvironment where they can lash out at others to cope with their own emotional issues.
you should pity them. not give them power over how you feel.

please think while you read my post. it's clear i play offline locals too, where you can experience actual sportsmanship and friendship.

In 2025, Japan's population is approximately 123,103,479, according to Worldometer. This represents roughly 1.50% of the total world population.

rofl

care to prove it?
we can play 3S on fightcade literally right now

or you can pull out like a coward in front of everyone here

wtf is 'rewarding'?
The only 'reward' I expect to get from a game is fun

some people get fun out of challenging themselves and others. any meaningful hobby is that, in essence, namely challenging yourself.

you'd know this if all your "hobbies" weren't just mindlessly consooming things you couldn't even conceive of, nevermind make

My hobbies are baking and fishing.
You know, productive hobbies and not being a faggot nigger in HARDCOOOOOORE games

nooooo you don't understand le old le game le nobody plays was le heckin best

Uh huh

I don't play fighting games because I don't like men.
Fighting games and their players are all gay men seeking penis.

Anon japan is neither niggers OR chinks are you retarded

fightangaemfags only make these provocative sorts of posts because of how aware they are of their games' userbases evaporating.

chinks are more than one country, also nips aren't chinks.
you failed on multiple levels

congratulations, you have hobbies that necessitate some competence and patience, you are now a tryhard faggot, according to your own standarts

now quit being stupid online

yeah I'll take time out of my day to play with a random faggot to prove something that I don't give a flying fuck about anymore
thanks for proving me that I'm right retard

I don't play fighting games because I don't like men.

Fighting games have the hottest females characters by far

congratulations, you have hobbies that necessitate some competence and patience, you are now a tryhard faggot, according to your own standarts

and here starts the coping and the backpedaling!
now go back to farming your combos or whatever, I'm sure some literal nigger will praise you for it eventually

you should really get into a fighting game one of these days.

I do play fighting games.

they are quite a bit deeper than you think.

Not really.

human psychology and empathy is the real game being played beneath all the graphics and the physical player input.

That's just a nicer way of putting what I wrote in my initial reply: "High level fighting game gameplay is about trying to read the opponent's patterns of behavior and making your own as unpredictable as possible."

and in some sports, yeah, you are right but in many also not.

I guess so, I made a generalization.

Player expression in FGs is really limited. Characters are designed in a certain way. Some moves are just better at certain range, some are not worth going for because their properties suck. There are established ways of playing one character against another. You can't say that there's much "player expression" in a genre where using attacks that you like instead of the ones that are viable will get you killed. Yes, there aren't many situations where only one single thing is viable and you can select your options, but those options are limited at the end of the day and you'll find yourself forced to use different ones to try to counter your opponent's responses most of the time anyway.

having fun

I don't like hard games, I like fun games

When I was a kid my friend who was really big into fighting games would always badger us to play with him. He always refused to take a handicap so he'd simply body me or whoever else hopped in because none of us played fighting games. Eventually we all simply stopped playing and let him sperg no one wanted to play with him. That's the FGC and fighting games.

Fighting games are not rewarding and especially not for the burden of knowledge needed to start.

coward's way it is.

a 3/5 set in 3S takes literally 3-5 minutes.
you'd know this if you actually played it.

the only thing i have proven is that you are a coward or a liar, this is indisputable, you've helped me prove it to everyone

run along now

paragraph of text which can't comprehend how different people would play

That's why the Soul Caliburs with CAS were so good- You really could create a character to express what you wanted.

also any of this is less complex than playing a piece of music by heart

No it's not. Source: I can do that.

holy shit fgs niggers are so pathetic that they are now trying to push narrative how niggers and incel chinks are most talented players with high iq, just kys, ur game is trash, with that being said, going back to play venus vacation prism, use rope now shit-skin

backpedaling on what? you don't even know what you're saying.
you are the one changing your standarts on a whim depending on what lets you lash out at anonymous online strangers on a vietnamese floor scrubbing forum

This man's skin was brown btw and he eventually cut off his dick and moved to LA to become and "artist".

what's rewarding about playing and learning an instrument?

Nothing. It's not.

you shit eating underage faggot
as if you beating me or me beating you in a match changes anything about my stance about fighting games not being hard

i can do both too, why do you think I'm making the comparison?

sure, playing music by heart has no frame requirement for it to count as successful, but also pieces of music are much longer than that combo too.

I bet you it would take you less long to learn this combo than learning a new piece.

FGCfags trying not to troon out challenge. Difficulty: inconceivable

Soive sissies.....

You would be wrong.

no need to use egregious examples that don't actually highlight what you think they highlight to justify your lack of backbone.

No, that bot actually highlighted a huge issue with FGs. It got to mid ranks by spamming that single button and nothing else. I saw someone trying to explain it by saying that different ranks actually correspond to different skill levels depending on the character and it's easier to reach mid ranks with certain character than with others. It all balances out in the highest ranks, but that's hardly relevant because only a few percent of the player base will ever get there. Rank is not a good measure of skill, yet it's used a basis for matchmaking. People playing easier characters get an unfair advantage while ranking up. What's more, in Tekken 8 specifically, all of your characters advance once you reach a certain rank with one of them. This exacerbates the issue because someone could have a higher rank with a more difficult character that doesn't match their skill level just because their main is so much easier. When they decide to try out that character, they get BTFO time and time again. How is that fair to someone who reached that rank by actually playing the character in question?

inb4 you just shouldn't care about rank

Okay, but what's the point of having a rank-based matchmaking at all at that point? Why not use quick match and lobbies exclusively?

no, we push the narrative that people like you are somehow even more worthless than said niggers and incel chinks.

as you clearly show us all by not being able to comprehend basic logic

i'm probably older than you and I also made you mad by calling out your own lack of character.
not by making up anything, not by being fake smug. just by you showing everyone you are a coward.

you claim to understand these games and you claim they're not hard. if both were true, you playing me would show that.
i just don't like people who posture and lie online and I like shoving their lies and cowardice right back into their face

dozens of hours in training grinding out combos, routes

does all that and still loses to kids throwing out hadokens

Was that post satire and it went over my head? It feels too silly to be real.

if you... (Just describes fighting games) UR DOGSHIT

Another mentally ill "FG expert" that thinks his meaningless video game expertise from endlessly reading the internet means he's supposed to win.

How can they beat me? My knowledge is superior! Don't they know they picked the wrong character? Fools!

It feels like you're making fun of the FGC (deservedly so). It's like LowTierGod's psychosis.

The fact that fighting games are the only type of games where a grown ass man turns into a toddler mashing every button on his controller and still believes he's playing the game right says alot

you have been replying to people and posting in this thread longer than it would take for you to play a quick game

I don't like memorizing combos

if you judge games by the amount of trannies in a fanbase, the number of games you can play would get awfully thin

There are RTS games that don't play like that.

I don't want to have to also be looking at the screen constantly spazzing the fuck out clicking and pressing shit

there's like 2 or 3 games were high APM matters.

This is the biggest bitch ass nigger cope i've always read on the internet. Broodwar is probably the only one that remains active because of it's APM requirement.

Go the fuck back to your map simulators

No, high APM matters in most of them. The ones where it doesn't are a minority.

there are fags like that all over vidya. they think doing what amounts to interacting with an excel sheet is "playing" videogames

I play battle royales

pixel girls

Ngmi homie.

So with that Tekken game, did they add some form of aim assist in that "tracking" mechanic and now you guys can't side step effectively anymore? Or what?

Not relevant to video games.

you should pity them. not give them power over how you feel.

Nah, allowing some people to behave like assholes while not allowing others to get tipped off at them is a double standard and unfair. Telling some people that they should have excellent self-control to tolerate this kind of behavior, while the people perpetuating it have none is disingenuous. The easiest and the most reasonable option is to just stop playing with people like that and either pick your matches or stop playing the game entirely.

ENTIRE GENRE BASED AROUND APPEALING TO NIGGERS OF ALL SHADES AND FAGGOTS.

No wonder these games are dying

I saw he made it to plat but in sf6 the rank inflation is crazy. I'd like him to make it to the equivalent of like super/ultra gold in SFV

you're some inbred retard not much to add

This post got so many people butt mad on both sides lmao

your approach is as valid as mine.

shitty behaviour online doesnt outrank the fun I have playing, so I'll take it for what it is. a weak man lashing out at the world.

the only way to somewhat stop such behaviour is to enact draconian rules, which I am also against. there will always be weak men, there will always be cunts. you deal with that by not engaging, I deal with it by not letting it affect me.

you have no right to claim one way is better

Online for all fighting games is and always will be shit. Aside from that, having an "active scene" requires you live in the worst places imaginable. I stopped bothering with fighting games pre-2010 because it's pointless unless you live in or near the ghetto.

inb4 wifi fags think online is good

cry about it faggot
I have work and I can post whenever

stay exposed forever

I thankfully don't live in the USA and we have multiple locals throughout my (rich) country, filled with well adjusted and normal people

this isn't a "my country is better than yours" flex, but it is a point to remind you that your country and what happens in it is not a universal truth. far from it

Self-improvement isn't worth shit if it's not for a point and hobbies are better when they have nothing to do with it.

whatever you say attention seeking faggot
if you're so good then attend local e-sports tournaments, clearly you have something to proof lmao
for me the FGC died decades ago
fighting games aren't hard and never will be
stay ass mad

still replying, still dodging an open challenge.

you don't play fighting games, much less are good at them and therefore you don't understand them.
your opinion holds no weight and you proved it to everyone.
stop posting or at least stop replying to me, it is getting embarrassing

Noone wants to waste time doing something they don't want to do, retard.

Normal, well adjusted, dress wearing autistic men.

you have life so figured out, you know better than anyone else
i k-kneel

fighters are for niggers and spics dude

is esl himself

it writes itself

this has nothing to do with the point I was making, burger

why are you guys always so proud of being ignorant?

I believe you just admitted that it is filled with autistic men in dresses, which I find very funny.

we went from smug, mike ross and valle to punk, menard and sonicfox

This is why we needed the games to be mechanically hard, it filtered the retards and made matches way more interesting.

claims to like good games

she plays fighting games

no i didnt feel to adress the content of what you said

you're the guy scared to go play locals because your environment is infested. the joke is on you
don't reply to me anymore, I won't respond

the real joke is that shitters on Anon Babble constantly pull some pilpul whenever fighting games come up.

somehow, magically, they are for dumb niggers but also they are impossibly hard

muh both sides

you're the biggest faggot of all you fucking coward, the only thing I want is for games not to be fucking hideous like SF6 and go back to SFV's style

people investing in hobbies they enjoy is "bad" because they aren't some sigma grindset retard

Fuck off

being good at the game is the reward of playing the game

sounds like chess, which I also don't enjoy
I play games primarily for fun, not to get good at them
if I want to get good at something I'll try and get good at something useful, like carpentry or masturbation

hideous like SF6 and go back to SFV's style

fucking LOL

fighting games aren't rewar-

GENKI.webm - 1280x720, 3.99M

The thing is, this is what happens in high level fighting game round five times.
In LOL you have chance to clip things like this one in thousand pro games.

Why are white people bad at fighting games?

laugh if you want, faggot SFV looked better and I will die on that hill. People only call SFV "ugly" because they now have something to compare it to in hindsight, this wasn't the case before, also fuck you

Games where the only """"""""gameplay"""""""" is repeating the same thing over and over again should not be considered games.

Well, I guess by your "logic" games of any kind shouldn't exist at all then

You can have fun without winning.

*Time scams u because it's optimal*
Psssshhhhh
Nothin personnel, scrub.

small mind.
you can and should get good at multiple things, both "useful" and not

stop saying crashout

V's visuals is the strongest part of that game

you never really played a fighting game. you suck at games. next

you only play fake games with fake fun. next

Couldn't she just kill him with chip at that point? Or is that not possible in that version of SF for whatever reason? Off key, that webm reminds me of that dumb video where someone tried to bring up fighting game matches as examples of "secondary chechmates" and talking about timer-scumming being a viable strat like it's a good thing.

Im 09'er. Played alot of 4, even on tournaments. I got old, 5 was good but not so good, I got into 6, instantly saw through the slime juice bullshit and the fact there was no neutral in the game. I decided im too old for this shit, i cant put hundreds of hours to get a glimmer of fun, especially in 6 when there's too many 'jump scare' buttons and the game feels most reactionary than ever. Its so sad too since i really like everything else about it.

Now im kinda waiting to see where they take Tekken 8 and maybe try to learn that, that game at least gives me the joy of learning and progress.

They aren't rewarding, that's why I just download naked drawings of Chun Li from Anon Babble and don't play
Tekken is fun to mash on for a while but really fighting games aren't good
Perhaps if they hadn't turned dumb glitches in original games into basic combat "features" in the sequels it wouldn't be this way

guilty gear strive for sure.

weak bait

2XKO CHADS WE'RE GONNA BREATHE LIFE BACK IN TO THE FGC

LET'S GOOOOOOoooooooo-- wait what do you mean it's ToD tag kusoge? I thought this game was for casuals?
What do you mean they hired multiple Marvel players to make the game, and they convinced them to compete drop the 1v1 and swap to tagshit because they just want Marvel again?
What kind of retard would change their casual fighting game in to THE sweatlord fighting genre type?

Mr. riot? I don't feel so good....

I don't have the patience to learn fighting games. Which is weird, because I have the patience to spend 3 hours in a single Thief or Hitman level.

i think only supers chip in 3rd strike and you can even see chun trying to build up meter by spamming attacks at the start of the video
that being said i know very little about 3rd strike so...

Implies fighting games are fun which their not. Nice argument retard

They want it to be 2v2 duo because being able to blame another player for why you failed is essential for normalfags

one and done every time he loses a match

cried constantly with every hit

hes almost dsp status.
fighting games become so much fun and enjoyable when learning and improving is the main focus and not just winning. otherwise the game will just make you miserable.

supers and specials chip in 3S, but parries are a thing.

overextending to get some chip in in the wrong moment can leave you with losing 30-60% of your health in many cases

PC sales are tiny outside of a select few FOTM or skinner box forever slop. It's a top heavy survivor bias rat race, not a healthy market.

PCsisters.jpg - 1280x720, 142.36K

said it before, with the amount of larping faggots pretending to play turd strike, you would think they would make a thread and get some matches going since it seems like nobody else outside this shithole cares about their dead game and shit opinions.

You know it isn't bait you're just not good at expressing your autistic rage when people don't agree with your masochistic outlook on hobbies

masochist

kill yourself faggot

Fighting games are easy and unrewarding.

try 15 years ago
fighting games are fucking dead dude, slime fighter and kekken barely qualify for fighting games

when it's obvious you have no idea what you're talking about, why would anyone reply to you in earnest?

do you listen to the blind man lecturing you about what colors look like? idiot

Then make them free to play and stop adding paid characters. I'm not paying for that crap.

to punish a whiff you have to first be passive
and being passive is feminine
fightanfags are literal homosexuals

Sorry, but the playerbase is not big enough to subsist off of skin lootboxes like Fortnite or DOTA. Also, children playing those games would just rage and uninstall the FG in question as soon as they come across someone who can beat them consistently.

filtered, at least be a little less obvious about it

Play fighting games

Lose so much matchmaking throws me to the intern they have afk in the bottom to keep people playing even if they lose constantly

Love fighting games, but can't ever improve or learn enough to win, so I just burn time in Roguelites instead.

Granblue Rising was the last hope since it was "beginner friendly", and all that amounted to was losing my shit at how I can't remember 500 different maneuvers without factoring in my inability to land hits, do combos that take 10 years like everyone else, and just getting bullied into not caring. If I truly want multiplayer competition, I'm racing game coded.

You've never seen a anime fighter like GG or UNIEL before? Holy shit.

anime

fighter

double gay lmao

For me, the reward is the difficulty.
I just like hard games.

plays party genres in a dark room by himself

beats up literal children over the internet

FGC chuds are just weird.

to punish a whiff you have to first be passive

not really, if you sidestep or jump over an attack then it still whiffs, but you're not being passive

Yep. It's mind-boggling that Fighting games are the only competitive genre that haven't caught up with modern monetization. It stunts the fuck out of the playerbase which is the last thing that they should be doing in an already niche genre.

What can I do? I hated most people I was forced to attend school with and never developed proper social skills. It's hardly my fault. More and more people are going to become recluses like me as time goes on.

Yeah, either you release your game free or at a greatly reduced price, and make up for it with DLC, or you just give me the video game I paid for.
Fighting game fanboys are bitches for accepting this amount of milking.

I can play Monster Hunter if I want to actually see improvement

GEARSCORE GEAR CHECK GEAR GEAR GEAR

If you suck (Not counting Wilds), you aren't going to kill shit, geared or not. Being able to defeat endgame stuff feels good. Plus I don't have to immediately compare myself to others or PvP. It's me versus Molten Tigrex or Risen Malzeno or whatever the fuck.

used to be /sfg/ but now it's full of turbo nogs schizos that only play sf6.

See

Also, let people literally buy their way into higher ranked tiers. It would be funny.

The FGC doesn't actually want new people, no matter how much they try to claim otherwise.

good, stay out faggot. lmao!

That's right, only FG developers want newcomers because they want to sell more game copies and DLC to make more money. The FGC personalities pretend to share the same sentiment because those companies sponsor them. New low-skill players are just a waste of time for them while new high-skill players are unwanted competition.

guilty strive and main venom

Gotta love Anon Babble's victim complex

I would argue that the current playerbase of SF6 is large enough to support a F2P model if it were either launched that way, or they were to transition into it.

You don't play 3S.
Let me guess, your favorite is uhhhhhhh Makoto?

lmao

Fighting games are only fun with people in the same room, online fighting games is legitimately for brain damaged people.

They also want to play the game - which doesn't happen at all in tagshit

What did I just say about FOTM? and then you go ahead and only post what is accentually just MH Wilds.

Remember, Capcom's 2024 sales by platform were

3 million: PS

1.2 million: Switch

206K: Xbox

44K: PC

PC has zero consistency like I said, a survivor bias rat race.

Granblue only has players due to DLC and then it turns into a Discord fighter again

Uni2 is still relatively new but damned to Discord despite how fun it is.

No idea on Tekken, but SF6 is populated.

You forget that anime games are doomed.

BUT STROIVE

It's not fun. Plus I refuse to touch that further until the non-tower matchmaking emerges. By then, it'll also be dead.

Fighting games bore me to tears. Why would I play something that I find boring?

Hard but rewarding games are still fun to lose
Fighting games aren't, if you didn't memorize the PRS combos from day one you get demolished with no chance to fight.
I will not indulge myself in a game that has been out for years with autistic niggers that practice 10 hours a day, that's the antithesis of fun.

which doesn't happen

it doesn't happen if you're hopping on like KOF2002 fightcade. SF6 ranked is populated at all levels in every major region

there are games who did that, that's not the issue.

the issue is that the genre, if you want to keep it good and interesting, inherently gatekeeps weakfags, casuals, normies and adhd ridden children

makes logical sense, my excuse is i dont have enough time in the day to play games i enjoy and then to learn enough about fighing to actually enjoy it.
tried to main cammy on sf5 but after hours of memorizing how to combo all i ever did was play solo and never played a pvp fight.
its just not accesible to the adverage player and thats coming from someone who plays games at least 8 hours a day

your escape into roguelikes is very telling that you are probably a person with a low attention span who can't keep up interest because you have burned out your dopamine receptors.

you don't really know what actually trying and learning looks and feels like, I would assume

A 40% win rate is enough to hit master rank in SF6. Most people gave up and moved on in the game's first month.

Makoto and Ken, chimp out about it

people who actually play good fighting games don't consort with the rabble on Anon Babble and Anon Babble they have their already established communities, plus fightcade is free and always active.

this might be a foreign concept to you but we actually play games, instead of just talking about playing games

Fighting games generally suck, not one of them seems to hit that sweet spot, it's a genre that's fundamentally flawed and will always feel the same as a boring wank. Like your dick's hard, but the pleasure just isn't coming, you can push yourself to achieve a sub-par emission but the satisfaction is absent and the come-down just leaves you tired and morose. There's an even bigger problem than that though, and it's why I don't even bother getting my dick up so-to-speak: it's the fact that fighting game players are insufferable faggots. Just straight up unlikeable vermin. Even if a miracle happened and the perfect fighting game came to be, it would be crippled by the one weakness that the genre will never be able to shake off: That you're playing with some fat swarthy faggot that smells like shit and has a personality that instils only revulsion. Humans are shit enough as it is, but those attracted to this genre in particular are especially sub-human. It makes sense that you're attracted to competitive violence because your true calling is being beaten to death by your superiors. Your natural insect-like urge to present yourself to your betters and be cruelly stomped out as the genetic waste that you are would be commendable if you weren't misguidedly channelling it towards being a faggot on the internet. And God forbid you drones gather together in real life, causing the air itself to fester with anti-pheromones, nature's own special way of letting you know that the genre is only for irredeemable dead-ends. Truly the greatest reward the genre offers comes from not playing that shit, and anyone worth their salt will reject the genre on an instinctual level.

to be fair fighting games are very shit at teaching you how to actually play them and sometimes they even throw curveballs at you e.g. tekken and korean back dash
learning combos is not going to do you any good if you don't know how and when to use the combo in a real match

you, like basically anyone who doesnt understand fighting games thinks its about learning combos, when thats the last thing you should do.

learn to space, learn to keep your cool and think under pressure, learn when its advisable to approach, when to be defensive. learn to anti air and to use your normals to catch your opponent off guard.
start with the basics, start small, take losses while implementing those things.

you are basically telling people you wanted to build a house and started by making the roof and the decoration first and can't figure out why your house has no foundation and doesn't work.

True. Newcomers lose their worth the moment the old heads and fighting autistics get what they want.

Modern fighting games aren't worth playing
Whole genre should have been gatekept, SFV, DBFZ and GGST did irreparable damage to modern games

that's a whole lot of text for saying "i am a pussy, I don't want to learn and other people online scare me"

damn, you are actually so mad about being outclassed in your own supposed hobby (you're just a consoomer and don't even realise it) that it triggers memories of sucking at sports in school and all the old rage bubbles back up

you are seriously unwell

Why did mods delete this frog

melty

get well soon, anon
i believe you can do it

I have burned out my dopamine receptors

Maybe? I'm tired of always losing and just play what feels comfortable. I don't have the free time I used to, so...

Spend 570 hours losing, failing to find matches after enough losses

or

Play game dictated by 50% skill, 50% luck, and can feel something (read, joy, fun) other than annoyance due to frequent, inevitable loss that I'm not good enough to avoid in fighting games.

Why try when I'm clearly out matched from the start?

mods are literal newfags getting mad at everything

fighting games

rewarding

Patches killed fighting games

A well earned win is literally the most rewarding thing you can experience in video games.

I avoid multiplayer games in general because there is no end to them
I rather play 10 different single player games in the time an autistic retard might spend on one pvp game

literally 570 hours? what is your win loss ratio?

can you reliably anti air, grab and block cross ups?

Fuck Frogposters

Ok, bend over

Half the fun in these games is participating in the community and your locals, since these games were born from the old arcade era. The community now, unfortunately, is turbo aids not worth any adult's time. This will quickly make you realize how shit the gameplay loop is, so you move onto better genres

Fighting games literally have 1 game mode and become boring. If variety is the spice of life then fighting games are like eating chicken for dinner every day, forever.

Like 3% wins to 97% losses in GBFSR, which was the last real attempt. I get hit once, lose half my health, fail to be psychic, and get hit again and die.

Can you reliably anti-air, grab, and block crossups?

For the sake of clarity, I'll say no. I can DP/fierce the crap out of people, but I'm always the worse opponent - enemies don't jump. No opportunity to anti-air. Grabs get teched and I definitely don't last long enough in most games to even get crossed up.

Try to push button to engage since you can't win by running away exclusively without a life lead

Game explodes and says YOU RETARD (Counter/Lockout/Fatal Counter/Crush Counter/UH OH YOU LOSE) and superior opponent turns it into a massive combo collage video with me as the idiot being murdered.

I never am allowed a turn.

This. Bonus if

Due to netcode, only one stage is viable to be played on.

It's the same damn thing served the same damn way with slightly different arrangement (characters). I can't take fighting Nagoyuki and Happy Chaos bros. It's unfun, frequent and boring. Actually, Strive might be the first game I've played in the genre where I've said and thought "Wow, there's no character fun to fight against!"
