This game is damn good and its lack of numbers proves that no one plays fighting games for good gameplay...

This game is damn good and its lack of numbers proves that no one plays fighting games for good gameplay, aesthetics or a love of video games any more, it’s entirely a social and business practice.

Is the single player mode really that good?

I haven’t played it.

I agree. COTW is currently the best modern fighting game out right now.

I don't play this because Ronaldo is a faggot. Remove him from the game and I might.

Salvatore can stay he's funny

It proves that fighting fags don't even like fighting games they just play the most popular ones for their ego

game's made me work it to Jenet and Hotaru more nowadays thats for sure.

aesthetics

Soccer and djs? Weird aesthetic.

I might buy it when it'll be in sales. It's too expensive for what it is right now.

Aesthetics.

Even SF4 looks better than this game, the new models look too stiff and plastic.

It's thoroughly mediocre which means it's leagues better than Dix and Kekken 8.

blame the retarded owner for putting these faggots in
the devs put effort to make them work and they actually play great but people already turned off by their existence to even try the game

Do things right

be rewarded with failure

Fuck this gay earth! Tsunaldo in was great and that DJ guy exposed fgcfags as retards by winning his place. I really hope SNK takes another shot in this same vein; some things need time to translate in commercial success

I’m going to say it.
I don’t like normalfags, and it might have been an improper gesture, but the inclusion of some kind of surprise roster picks with unique and fully fleshed-out playstyles is not something I’m willing to talk shit about any more with how homogenized and conformist the world is now.

fighting games are ridiculously overpriced for what they are

They’re only like $15 for the good ones. Cheaper than most games.

The Ronaldo thing was a huge mistake. I liked the first game a lot but seeing the Ronaldo trailer soured me on this game.

it's just the nature of the genre. this genre will be deader than rts soon enough

every new one is 50 at its cheapest while costing developers nowhere near the same amount of resources other genres do

Already is. E-sport appealing killed it, only sustains on the brands kept around like Street Fighter and that' might be saying much already.

Pretty much yeah thats been the case for gaming , thats has been in the rising since youtubers started lets playing, and thats were the idea of casual gamer or gamergirls, playing for the idea of being a cool gamer , streamers etc, has damaged the recognizition of what is actually good and even you can same the same about movies with marvel, etc.

Thats why people play valorant, league of legends, and buy the gaming chair, etc

I want to know how does it compare to world tour

it means some people actually have standards and won't buy a game that has cringey celebrities in it.

Ive never seen a game lose so much hype as I did when ronaldo was announced.

the fact that tekken fans are migrating to street fighter 6 of all things says a lot about the genre

Frionel's squad meltdown

calm down it's a game

They couldnt even bother to get ronaldo to pretend he gave a shit. They asked him what his favorite move was and he said "the super move"

JUST SAY BUSTER WOLF YOU DUMB FAGGOT HOW DID NO ONE BOTHER TO PREP HIM ON THIS

Aesthetically it looks cheap and ugly, gameplay wise it's just a straight downgrade from the first Garou from 124 years ago.

I get the feeling even the players on SF6 aren't playing it completely because they're enjoying it but more like because it's pretty much the only one left. At leat T8 brought fun in comparison, before the patch that triggered everyone for some reason. I assume the patch was competitivefag kriptonite, right?

BUSTER WOLF

Putting in real life retards instead of maybe actual fighting game, fictional series or general video game characters as guests in the base cast, only having 4 out of 17 characters be girls when there were more FF girl options to put in, having what might possibly be the worst advertising of any fighting game in years and not putting advertising money towards making the game higher quality is not doing everything right. Anyone thinking Ronaldo would get Ronaldo fans to buy is retarded.

I've never liked guest characters but I have never had my interest in a game die this hard because of them. Street Fighters I could have lived with. Snk Vs Capcom was always a thing and some SNK dudes were in SF so it's a bit of a playful rivalry. Soccer guy and DJ though were just flat out bizarre and I don't like it and seeing them makes me a little angry and I don't want the game anymore. And I was really excited in those early days of build up.

It could be Messi, Pele or any other sport star. It was a bad move that made me not want to play this game.
The only thing that would work would be if they got a high tier MMA fighter.

Anyone thinking Ronaldo would get Ronaldo fans to buy is retarded

Not even a Tsunaldo fan but that actually made interested in the game; the game looking fine and seemingly good gameplay sealed the deal.

Putting in real life retards instead of maybe actual fighting game, fictional series or general video game characters

Like Tizoc?

Saudi's are hugely invested in MMA and boxing too so it's especially retarded they went with a washed up soccer guy instead

Pele

not after the incident at an Xbox show where he went to Sweden and the girls started touching his hair

The only thing that would work would be if they got a high tier MMA fighter.

Boring bald fighter is better than known person that can be played in a different way

no wonder fgc is a laughing stock now; fags lost the sight of what made fighting games great.

fighting games cannibalize themselves instead of growing together

just goes to show no one plays fighting games at all dead genre

"Boring bald fighter" is a professional and skilled martial artist who has a fighting style.
It is one thing to have Terry Bogard being shown losing in a preview video to Fedor Emelianenko or Georges St Pierre. It is another to have him being beaten up by a football player that doesn't know how to fight.

T8 brought fun

competitive kryptonite

Fucking retard. T8 was people complaining about heat, how terrible being on defense felt, constant 50/50s into death overall combo length, overall damage and chip damage pre season 2 and the patch just made everything 3 times worse for everyone at all levels with zero defense improvements.

Any time now! It was supposed to happen last year and the year before, surely it must be this year!

I was actually initially hyped for CoTW back when it first got revealed but I just can’t bring myself to care anymore. I actually really like SF6 so I don’t really feel like I’m missing out on something great. That’s probably how most people feel. SF6 is a good product. People can meme about le green slime and throw loops but the reality is that good feels great to play.

T8 was kinda shit from the start but S2 patch was everything kryptonite, no one at any level of skill likes it.

in terms of pure honest fighting game play yes it is, it's actually one of the best traditional fighting games with pure and honest footies.

I was just about to start playing it tonight, anything I should know about it?

H-hahaha le 2 more weeks guys, totally!

All the fighting game ips dying off except for street fighter (which is on life support) does not matter... i said IT DOES NOT MATTER!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're coping poorly with not being able to deal with different forms of fighting styles. Unconvential forms are nothing bad and the very core of fighting game characters, if you think so then you should be complaining about Spiderman, cyclops and wolverine

and the patch just made everything 3 times worse for everyone at all levels with zero defense improvements.

Confirmed fgc kriptonite. They got filtered by a fighting game telling them to attack?!

Your idea of “dying off” relies on continued consumerism and sales. Weak.

yes because fighting games feed off of the hopes and dreams of discord servers

Very few games of note require a discord server. Old Melty is the only one that comes to mind, and that’s for lack of official rollback. Someone who has risen above culturally absent thoughts does not need to take part only in what’s most popular. A man goes where he finds enjoyment.

that's retarded, you can pretend that the 150 people that still play whatever fighting game you enjoy will stay there forever but that doesn't change reality. Also sadly to say it but if normies aren't paying for fighting games then there's no incentive to make them. The time where normies consume the latest fighting game because it's le video game culture is over. Normies are buying souls slop and other shit like that now

It's unfortunate that CotW came out for me when it did, because it's everything I'd want out of a modern SNK fighter, but it's out at the same time my current game I enjoy is still getting updates. By the time I get to it proper, it might be completely dead.

Secondary retard.

After rollback there’s never been a lack of players, and it’s been played for over a decade, so it sure is taking the genre a long time to die, if it’s in such a spiral as you say. No need for a new game either. As I said, you lack culture and proper spirit, and cannot be called a man.

Why can't fighting games fans just accept the genre is dead

fgcope

The genre lives as long as +R and Blazblue do. I give it about 80 years, but there's bigger problems by that time.

yet the genre hasn't been growing. If you're not growing, you're dying. netcode isn't the savior for fighting games And your groups are only going to get smaller.
You can keep saying muh culture all you want, it's not gonna change reality.

grandchaseGAWDS

If you're not growing, you're dying.

That's retarded suit logic, it's wrong by definition. FG aren't "dying" per se, the problem is they're not consistent after release; you release the game, 2 weeks with players, rest of the time is cope struggling to retain and attract players. There's no problem if their numbers aren't massive as long as the player numbers are consistent... but they can't even get that so their numbers keep shrinking

fighting games are more popular than ever tho?

You consider a SF with a daily peak twice as big as the last one's all time peak and a fucking guilty gear game managing to be a top 3 fighting game on steam with 2k and higher peaks not growing? Do you have any fucking clue what that means for a series know for having a discord tranny, poser filled fanbase like GG?

I'm fine with standing still and enjoying something great. Your stench is that of those who cannot understand why artists still draw despite ai existing, why we listen to music from years ago, and why nobody wants to eat lab grown meat. Your mind is trapped by a strange obsession with popularity and profit, with no soul to be found.

no one plays fighting games for good gameplay, aesthetics

They play it for the fucking characters.
This game needed 20 new original characters that fucking pop. Fighting games have been having a hard time creating original popular characters. How is it that Gacha games can create new characters that 'pop' all the time but fighting games cant? Whatever their formula is SNK fatal fury team needs to steal it.

is that a fact

that post is proof that fgc fags deny reality

You don't need two good new characters just 2 or 3. For example, strive had only 2 newcomers with Nagoriyuki and Giovanna but both newcomers ended up being in the top 6 of the most popular to play on release after Sol, Ky, Potemkin, and May. What does fatal fury have? Fucking preecha and vox. Snk just can't make good or long standing newcomers anymore.

*don't need 20
Also seriously vox is like a plank of wood in terms of interesting and preecha just seems all over the place considering the concept arts they had for her

Well you can't accuse me of that because I play a "deader" game than CotW

and yet singleplayer games and other multiplayer games blow them out of the fucking water on the top of the charts, and even many that's not on the top. plus you're being a faggot and not taking the player gain count. keep in mind this is the biggest fighting game.
The difference is that fighting game is multiplayer exclusive while you can draw with pencil and paper anytime you want and improve.

How is it that Gacha games can create new characters that 'pop' all the time but fighting games cant?

Because adding a fighting game character takes months while the modern fighting game trap is selling you older characters as DLC. People tend to want to stay with what they know so legacy characters have to be retained which destroys a lot of opportunities for new characters to be added to the cast.
Gacha games in comparison basically add a new female fotm waifubait character every 2 weeks and in groups of 2 to 6.

You vastly overestimate how many players you need to play a match in a fighting game. You sound like you can't understand doing something just because you enjoy it, even if it's not easy or profitable. Blazblue has about 200 players on average, +R has around 100, I've never been unable to play them.

I like Preecha, girl who is a nerd for martial arts is a good gimmick character trait. Vox being Grant's disciple doesn't mean that much to me because I don't know anything about Grant aside he was a fucked up boss character, so that means all Vox is to me is edgy.

I'm convinced it's either /fgg/ or just the dedicated group of shitposters who want to shit on every fighting game thread on Anon Babble when they keep bringing up steam charts but don't realize that a 200 count game like Blazblue is still incredibly populated and you don't need discord to get games for it.

Your genre isn't growing

There is definite proof in the image you posted that it is

uhhh but these completely different genres are still bigger

Nice goalpost moving retard. Also why are you posting that old ass image when you can easily look up steamcharts and see the daily peak being almost 32k for sf6?

I always assumed it was angry zoomers who failed to get into fighting games and wanted an excuse for why. But you might be right.

That was taken today nigger, go check faggot.

I played the game with a friend and it's much better than Street Fighter VI imo. Just ignore Ronaldo ffs

you can't improve in a game if everyone has 10,000+ hours into it and you're just getting started in fighting games. you get steam rolled and the fighting fags get bored and leave or start mocking you. your only other option is labbing in training mode for 5,000+ hours

I don't think it's e-sports specifically but the shift towards being lab games which revolve around unga gameplay, big combos and having to know every piece of frame data so you know when it's "your turn." Some of that had always existed but I feel like pre-SF4 it used to be a lot more intuitive since training modes were basic which means you had to play and work shit out. Now games are built around the idea that every player is going to be an autist who spends a weak labbing every scenario before going online which then turns the games into autism simulators. It's like how the NBA has turned into everyone doing only the most optimal thing ever; unga shit is the equivalent of memechucking threes.

Part of this is because devs think this makes the games more exciting to watch which means more people will buy the game. But what happens is that most people don't have the time or 'tism needed to, again, learn all the data, lab out scenarios and frame traps and generally play like a perfect execution bot so they go online, get stomped by some giga autists who do and eventually quit because they realize they're not getting anywhere and not having fun. This is an issue of companies hiring tournament autists to develop the games now, especially people like Woshige who come from the Guilty Gear/anime scene where they like all of this shit with big combos, mechanic and system bloat, characters all being gimmicky, etc.

What if I told you even in games like Blazblue and UNI2 that there are a ton of white/blue square and D-rank player rooms?

yea the two that meme'd into trying by their fighting fag friends and are desperately trying to get in but will stop after getting rolled for 20 hours

There's usually new players around, more than you're suggesting, and a lot of intermediate players with only a few thousand games.

I wonder what goes on in the minds of retards that get so upset by fighting games that they make it a goal to post about them like this while spreading completely false information about them. I couldn't imagine doing that for the games I do hate let alone somethings as simple and inoffensive as fighters.

every other fgc thread is fighting fags complaining about literally any other fighting game other than the one that they specifically play. fgc fags don't even enjoy their own genre 99.9% of the time

Those newcomers are sure showing up in droves to replace the ones leaving then!

People insulting and shit talking other games in a genre they dislike is normal, especially here. Going on some ecrusade while nonstop talking about "da fgc" being this or that, how the genre is "dead" even though they aren't despite dumbasses calling them dead for about 3 decades, and how you need thousands of hours is beyond retarded.

sour grapes posting about fighting games on Anon Babble by seething fags will never not be funny.

you can always find a dozens of people to play with in 3S on fightcade, which is now 26 years old.
you really don't need high numbers to get consistent matches and have fun.
your faggot zoomer brain can't fathom playing things for fun that haven't been shilled to you and millions of others, full of fomo mechanics and other gay shit

People that play fighting games as their 'main game' are no life losers. Here I am just labbing shit in Injustice 1 and playing SFV from time to time and having a blast

300 brazilian bananas

No thanks, SNK literally sabotaged their game by making it hella expensive in the third world (their main audience)

you just think everyone is as dumb as you and need thousands of hours to be decent.
and seeing as you willingly play injustice and SFV you must be very dumb

You aren't wrong, but for a game as new to the market as CotW is it's worrying that multiple times over the past few days I've played a set in ranked with 4+ bar connection strength and crossplay on, and in the next immediate match I'm playing against the same guy. I'm only B-V which means I'm squarely in the slightly-better-than-shitter ranks where a lot of people should be, and the fact that this game will match with people 5+ ranks apart from each other is extremely lenient. Running into the same people in these conditions isn't a sign of a healthy player pool.

You're stupid for playing [literally any fighting game]

fgc fags hate fighting games

It's not even zoomers at this point those guys go into the newer and older games and learn since they have the free time and brain capacity to, I'd post that image of one japanese guy talking about a bunch of 20 year olds playing sf2 at his arcade. It's mostly people in their mid to late 30s who never played fighters here beyond button mashing picking up the games in said 30s, don't immediately get results and start lashing out like this board does.

Injustice and SFV are more technical and execution heavy than any modern fighting game sans KOFXV. I also play Alpha 3. Keep seething Striver

the cope you guys come up with is actually insane

what's better about it?

You're literally doing what you claim to hate, just more aimlessly. Labbing Injustice 1 in 2025 is some Reddit-tier lost media sidequest behavior. “No life losers” probably sleep better than dudes booting up SFV for some one-bar Ken mirrors on Wi-Fi after a long day of posting about how they don’t even care.

what's the difference between injustice than playing literally any other fighting game that isn't new. It's all just elitism shit with fighting fags you can't even just play fighting you gotta play the correcting fighting game and not literally any other fighting game because they don't like them.

Play VF5REVO

And why is it so hard to comprehend that being competitive can be fun in this or any other multiplayer games?

not everyone has a humiliation kink anon...

I went from dying to asian no lifes from 20 secs to 30 secs

You're the one deluding yourself. You'll never be good at fighting games or any competitive game. All you're doing is acknowledging that you're inferior, because what else is stopping you from raising the trophy at EVO?

Besides, competitive games are dogshit because it means you have to interact with other people, who will always go for the cheapest or strongest strategies. If you enjoy comp games for the meta you are a whipped bitch

this

At what point do you enjoy playing fighting games competitively? When you plateau at Diamond and do nothing but fight the same handful of people every day with the same characters and strategies for 5 years? It's not an MMO or character shooter where the meta evolves.

Losing = getting humiliated

being somewhat ok with losing in multiplayer now and then = humiliation kink

There is something wrong with your brain and the way you were raised.

Anon there's a reason why you're on welfare and haven't accomplished anything in your life. You lose and think 'boy that was fun, I love losing while my opponent sits back with a shit-eating grin on his face thinking to himself that he's better than me'

When I lose, I say 'this is a waste of time, there is no goal or accomplishment to be gained from this, I think I'll go back to my singleplayer RPG or write my PhD application for Oxford'

youtube.com/watch?v=NXqn33G3q8M

you're just an insecure fag desu

It's kinda well written

it's literally a part of nature

lose in a race because opponent is faster

lose in arm wrestling cause opponent is stronger

lose female mate cause opponent is better

only group of people telling you otherwise are libs that cut their dick off

yeah, something like that and then just play it intermittently.

and stuff evolves all the time. even something like 3S isn't played the same today at high level as it was even a few years ago.

is preecha really that interesting? whenever I played the game, all of her winquotes just seemed to be about trying to copy the special moves of the other character.

damn, you're so right.
if only there was levels to this, some granularity and nuance and not just you're either the sickest ever or the lowest of the low.

how miserable do you want to be?

see

Ehh... can't agree with you. This is not some immersive realistic fighting game, it's fatal fury anon. With that said, if Messi's manlet ass made it in the game, it wouldve been better and funnier

I got plenty of shit to play. I can easily afford to be selective about what I pick up.
You give me an impression you're going to turn into Fortnite Fighter down the line with shit like ronald mc donald and jesus christ DJ, and imma bail on you.
That simple.

while my opponent sits back with a shit-eating grin on his face thinking to himself that he's better than me

Do you immediately think that's what happens whenever you lose in a multiplayer game? I think you just have issues dude.

no bro you're just insecure the point of fighting games is the grind to improve bro

Oh? So when will you be rewarded for your improvement? You're going to start entering local tournaments and winning, right?

W-well no, but it's all about the grind bro so I can feel good

Riiiight...

damn, you're so right.

if only there was levels to this, some granularity and nuance and not just you're either the sickest ever or the lowest of the low.

how miserable do you want to be?

That IS what happens. I can see them sitting there enjoying the dopamine, deluding themselves into thinking they have skill. It makes me sick with anger, because nothing is more pathetic than a delusional, arrogant scrub who can't see how much of a fucking loser they are.

i just never really found a main in motw and cotw doesnt look like it would change that

spams 10 ads in the middle of matches

Don't post this e-celeb fag ever again.

even the anime fighterfags are making fun of us

it's so over

Because fighting games are stuck in their ways and refuse to adapt. Every game that makes new characters is absolutely locked in on this idea that they need to conform to traditional fighting game archtypes

the all-rounder

the zoner

the grapper

the charge character

the mixup artist

Why is it always the extremes with these niggers. Like have you never done something irl or in a video game that was fun win or lose? Jesus Christ.

Oh god this was a woman at some point

I like KOFXV more, I just finished playing it 20 minutes ago.
Plus guests are cringe, especially Rapenaldo, and they had a ton of really cool FF vets to pick from and they ignored all of them(Big Bear, Jubei, Sokaku, Hon Fu, Mary, Yamazaki, the Jins, Xiangfei, Rick, Alfred and the Wild Ambition chick all would've been better picks). Also including Geese but only as an unplayable boss is bafflingly stupid

the charge character

You wish. Those are slowly getting phased out

A very pathetic take. Failing at something is very important for growth.

When is it ever fun to lose? When do you lose and sit back and think 'I want to lose again'? It's literally against your basic biology (dopamine, adrenaline) to want to lose. You're a cuckold by definition

nature itself doesn't just stop because you're just "having fun". There's a reason why women can loose interest (the "ick") in you even from the most mundane things.

This is a cope line rolled out for shitters. I've never failed in my career and I'm on the up, consistently outperforming my peers. You're born with talent, you can't earn it. It's like playing chess hoping to be a GM when some 9 year old kid from India is already beating them, you're outclassed, there is no point. You will never beat Sonic Fox, you will never beat Punk, you will never beat Xiaohai, or Justin Wong, or ET. Why bother?

is daimon in xv yet?

Unironically if you're failing at something then it indicates that something is wrong.

retard

I'm a huge Fatal Fury fan but I'm not playing until more characters are added, just like with any fighting game out there. Why play now when 3 seasons from now the game is going to have twice the cast size? In fact, FUCK the character fighting game model across the board. Finish your fuckin game then release it.

9 year old kid from India

and there it is

no, but if you're a daimon loyalist I'll run the set sometime in a game he's in, like 98 or 13
thoughts on RB2?

if you mention India in any context you are automatically Indian

Anon, there's a billion people there, the point was to demonstrate that only a handful of people have any real talent. The rest are losers. If you're playing a fighting game and don't have an innate talent for reads and execution that will allow you to win tournaments, you're wasting your time.

It spans from a great issue in fighting games where they only build on what's already established and don't really innovate.

Every new fighting game is my for fighting game players (like no shit). That means it appeals to at most 100% of the established fighting game playerbase, but realistically if its not a known IP or developer its probably more like 30-40% that will try it for a month or two then move back to their anchor game. And maybe 5% of people outside the regular playerbase that are just bored or want to check it out.

If the genre actually wants to grow it needs to innovate and target people that aren't in the fighting game playerbase. Add some new twist or hook onto the tired genre to get new blood into it. Kind of like how smash bros did however many decades ago. Fighting games need "the next smash bros" to breathe some life into it.

youtube.com/watch?v=BA1wSzkYh6Q

there's still isn't anything wrong with analogy, sadly. if you get beat by a poojeet, the rope is the only option

Anyone else headed to CB this weekend?
People bring this up a lot, but idk how you'd innovate fgs

I remember when I 1st really got into fighting games with Tekken 7 and had fun fighting some True Tekken God xiaoyu for like 40 matches in a row despite being a mighty ruler and losing most because recognizing the way he plays and adapting to his play style and very own adaptations for those close matches was fun. Also this thread explains the hate toward fighting games on this board to me more than any other. It's all fucking issues with the kind of mental they have or general mental issues.

target people that aren't in the fighting game playerbase

And this has done irreparable damage to the genre.

how do you innovate in fighting games lets be real here it has peaked as a genre you cant do anymore in the 2d space if they truly want to have a chance to innovate they would have to be in the 3d space but even after that where do you go with it

has an issue with a footballer

but the Bosnian turd LARPing as an Italian? He can stay.

Faggot

Don't take it seriously, anon.
What the shitposters are basically trying to tell you is that they want fighting games to stop being fighting games with their so-called "innovations".

You only 'adapted' because you played over 40 matches, that's an outlier when a set is only 2. It's not mental, it's facts. You didn't adapt because you still lost, you didn't improve because there's nothing to improve to, it's meaningless.

If you improve in a beat-em-up like SOR4 by practicing combos, movement and planning, you get a higher score and you beat your PB. There is no similar system in fighting games (rank doesn't count)

It's all fucking issues with the kind of mental they have or general mental issues.

see

I think it's still an interesting idea, even if it'd lead to a divergence a la RTS to MOBA

Objectivism is bad because uh, my mum said I'm special

People you went to school with ended up going to the Ivy league, or running their own startup, or signing to a major football club, or becoming a paris fashion week model
You...finally pulled of that sick Akuma combo you'd been labbing for a week but lost the next three matches so you remain hardstuck in Diamond

Put it in perspective please

I'm assuming you replied to the wrong person because that's the opposite of what i am saying

thoughts on RB2?

Best game in the series I'm B-rank on Fightcade

nice, who do you play?

It just looks like crap.

Main Duck but I have a pocket Geese. I can play anyone kinda decent

in what way?

in nature itself, failure is just death. Being dysgenic and unvalueable

All multiplayer games become unplayable within a month unless you've been playing that game and that game alone nonstop because only the sweaties remain and everyone else leaves. This was probably always true to some extent with fighting games, but at least you could go to the arcades and play with people that have around the same playtime as you (Since they're playing other shit) or play with friends in your couch and have fun.
The current state of multiplayer games has affected all multiplayer-predominant games (Even fucking co-op games because of guidesfags), but yeah, there's no reason why fighting games would somehow be immune to it. They are just disproportionally affected because the idea of playing a fighting game for its single player content has always been a huge hill to climb.

you HAVE to enjoy the broad spectrum of things you like, otherwise you're not a real fan

what a retarded opinion. do you like most videogames, do you enjoy all music in one genre?
please think before you post

it's always the same weakfags who get bad high school memories triggered when someone is better than them. people who simply cannot cope with honestly losing, because, big surprise, being good comes with a time investment

get an F in all your classes

parents demand an explanation

"…Failing at something is very important for growth"

food analogy

i play in locals too, not because i ONLY want competition but because playing against someone else is inherently fun.

people can find multiple things appealing.
do you shit on people who practice an instrument as a hobby too, because they'll "never make it"? even if they just want to play, get better and have fun?

you have a nuclear grade self protection cope going so you can convince yourself you never have to try, be good or be actively doing something ever.

what a retarded opinion. do you like most videogames, do you enjoy all music in one genre?

please think before you post

When's not fgc fags complaining about non-fgc it's them complaining about literally any other fighting game existence other than their own.

being good comes with a time investment

post body

the fact you think not being instantly good at something and thinking doing missteps and learning along the way is bad in any way, tells me you have never been good at anything and you only compare yourself to normies, equally as braindead as you

People practice instruments because they either want to enjoy playing music, or join a band. These are meaningful self-improvement goals that add value to someone's life both personally but also socially.

If you're seriously comparing that to playing Street fighter 6 at some stinky locals with a bunch of greasy, autistic losers you're far gone lmao

school analogy

Fuck it I'm gonna start posting webms. Anything better than this shitfest

Why don't defeatist fags just kill themselves? After all people are always gonna be better than you so no point living.

they are both hobbies that can be fulfilling and fun your problem is you are close minded and just hate fighting games on principle (because you suck at them) so you cope about there being no redeeming qualities to them

and again, people don't just do one hobby, there are multiple things in life to enjoy and get into. you should try it sometime.

don't bother replying, spew your negativity at someone else and stay miserable like a dog. or change, it's up to you.
ah no i forgot, you're riding the "it's all out of my control cope" kek

character models look bad, low effort.

Sure its not a popular genre but 4k--all time high--jesas..4k.....

failing doesn't automatically imply associated improvement. you have to be smart about it and know what you did wrong and improve. not just keep going like a retard in the same way.

is this really a hard concept to grasp for you? no wonder you were never good at anything

It's not good.
You just play a top tier.

if all the bees in a colony killed themselves because they weren't the best there wouldn't be a colony. sometimes you just gotta admit you're another drone no matter how much you think you're not.

Ah, there he is again. The Brazilian wifi King masher.

Anything better than this shitfest

Unironically posting Tekkne 8 clips

I would be embarrassed to say that I play Tekken

pick kain or hotaru otherwise you won't have fun

the issue is that he's been at this for so long and his massive ego is being bruised constantly enough that there's no way he wouldn't have quit or actually gotten better. Even if he's the biggest narcissist on earth there's still something in the brain that's subconsciously trying to improve something. the fact that hasn't gotten any progress shows something about reality

Snk just can't make good or long standing newcomers anymore.

Looking forward to Kens release, and he becomes the face of the franchise, the most played character online, in every top 8 in tournament.

You just hate fighting games on principle (because you suck at them)

Yeah no shit, so do you. I'm not winning tournaments. Only a handful of players don't suck, that's the whole fucking point. The difference is whether you choose to embrace the suck and stagnate, or push back against it and seek to do something meaningful with your time.

Gaming isn't a hobby, it's a pastime. Hobbies lead to tangible improvement, both in self and materially/socially. Pastimes are shit you do to pass the time. Because you are not winning tournaments, playing fighting games is a pastime.

Don't both replying

Because you have no rebuttal. You haven't thought about this at all. You're a slop consumer, not a philosopher.

how come literally everyone can get better at things if they repeat it and know what they're doing wrong?
you ssying the learning and failing process towards improvement isn't real is stupid just based on the fact you yourself just like everyone here learned to read and write for example

God fucking dammit I gotta wait so much time for my man Big, I hope people keep playing until then

So by your logic you can't enjoy or improve unless you're the best?

I see COTW is gonna continue being a cockfest for another year, with the only saving grace being a guest character

Does masturbating to fighting game girls count as playing fighting games?

Not having Joe and Andy be base roster is such a bad move.

That'll be funny. It'll be even funnier if Chun ends up a better version of Mai too.

Hard work beats talent, but talent that works hard is unbeatable. You are born with talent or not.

you can't to the gym unless you're winning strongman contests

I know this is a website for depressed losers but I genuinely cannot understand this mentality that there's no reason to try because others are better.

hey but at least you have ganacci and penaldo

i am getting better and making meaningful connections with other people who do the same. that is "winning", soft boy.

you yourself are too much of a pussy to try anything. you might feel secure in your gay job that demands nothing of you but your time. all that does is give you money. and if you were as smart as you think you are, you would already have it.

there is no rebuttal you would accept, so i'm telling you to leave it.
you are dead set on hating things that other people have fun with, just because your doughy ass got handed to you in your "pastime" and you couldn't cope with it.

spare us the sob story, we've heard it a million times. people like you pop up all the time

You didn't answer my question.

you ssying the learning and failing process towards improvement isn't real is stupid just based on the fact you yourself just like everyone here learned to read and write for example

If there's was no subconscious improvement then all of humanity would never grow smarter past a newborn baby. of course there's improvements but the human body isn't this magical force that's actually able to improve infinitely. we wouldn't have downies or retards in general then. there's limits to what a person can do and not everyone is some anime main protagonist zero to hero

yeah, so what?

the guy asked you if you only consider something worth doing if you are the best. how do you even know you get there without trying?

your logic is retarded and you have no passion. you never tried to get good at anything yourself because you're scared

yeah there are limits, absolutely. obviously.

but what is your point?

there's limits to what a person can do and not everyone is some anime main protagonist zero to hero

So you should never try?

see

Cool so you are a drone with no ambition or drive of your own seething that people have a soul.

implying you're not one also because you're slightly better than ltg

why do you think browns are so bad and every country they're in is so shit

yeah, again, so what?
what is your point?
im beginning to believe you can't think

lost argument

falls back to racism as a deflection

So if there's no point in doing anything, why are you still defending your inaction?

see

aesthetics

Even a random indian hinduslop game is able to look more impressive you delusional SNK monkey.

Drones also kill themselves to protect their superiors.

you think there are only the best and drones in out society?

i should have never engaged, clearly I am talking to a teenager or a severely stunted adult

muh racism so you automatically lost argument

go back

Is Rock cool or is he just a typical shoto? I used to be contrarian and hate him but the more I see him the more I think those lame ass ki wings are cool

Correct you lost which seems common for you since only winners can be successful and try.

Every war is literally just this though so it's not the comeback that you think
You unironically got gaslighted by libs into thinking otherwise

gay rush in character for queers

he's kinda cool though in an ironic or funny way

ltg tries, a lot. He's not really winning...

Soldiers are trained though, but why do that if they're not the best?

they're trained to die, not the same as training in general.

You didn't answer me. Training is improving and that's reserved for only the best as you said.

You unironically got gaslighted by libs into thinking otherwise

actually, the defeatist talk you spew is more popular with "libs", you retarded american. it's their way of trying to shame anyone trying to achieve something, because they are too weak or untalented to do it themselves. literal crabs in a bucket, like you.

I make my living off of something I trained and put the hours into. I know for a fact you're just mouthing off. you are not good at anything, so you can't even conceive that it's possible.

either that, or you're retarded or underage. either way, your opinion is worthless

training is only significant in people that are better. military trains you to go into a warzone to take a life or two with you.

But they are still training them.
I am starting to think you don't actually believe the arguments you make.

its a drone dying while trying to kill another drone. that's it. not anything significant.

But they were trained and improved?

actually, the defeatist talk you spew is more popular with "libs", you retarded american.

you're actually retarded. Libs are trying to tell you that women are exactly equal to men and that no other group or culture is lesser despite the evidence.

hardly, enough to possibly kill another drone with them.

don't bother, he is enlightened ans has realised it's much easier to never achieve anything and not even try and point the finger with spite at people who do

circumcision did this to him, he is a poor "man"

So by training they ended up better than they were before despite not being the best?

that's a different point however.
they also hate anyone who tries to improve themselves or get better at anything. as being good at something automatically puts you in the "opressor" class. you don't even understand the thing you hate you absolute gorilla nigger.

you really are dumb

I think we should fix this chart after all these years

they also hate anyone who tries to improve themselves or get better at anything. as being good at something automatically puts you in the "oppressor" class. you don't even understand the thing you hate you absolute gorilla nigger.

you're the one that can't read between the lines.
Why is it that they hate it when someone does manage to improve and be better? Why is it that someone getting better makes them feel smaller? If everyone was equal or close to it then it wouldn't matter.

Appealing character designs that can sell games are too hard for SNK art team

Y-you're scared!

Shitter cope.
That's not what I said. You can enjoy and improve only when there is a reasonably attainable goal. If you want to play fighting games because you want to learn how to play a puppet character, or pull of a sick combo, go for it. If you're goal is to just mindlessly play competitive, that is a meaningless, goal with nothing attainable. A person who learns how to play the piano does so to play the piano and play songs on the piano, but if they want to become the greatest pianist of the 21st century, give up.

Make a new thread for it.

No you said there's no reason to improve because others are better than you and are trying to run it back.

if i was ever gonna stop being an autistic hikki, combobteaker & stunfest are the tournaments id wanna go to

tfw no locals

read the thread again tard, there's no point in going for an unattainable goal if you don't have the talent. That's what I've always said, like someone just deciding to become a chess GM when some 9 year old can do it with ease.

If your goal in fighting games is to climb the ladder and compete, give up. It's unattainable, you will never achieve anything.

You literally said you can't like them because others win tournaments.

Go read the thread again

Follow your own advice.

neither was in motw

Keep seething

Make a new thread for it.

After this one hits bump limit

hardly

inb4 t-that's actually a whole lot...

I almost preordered this game but seeing them shilling a random C-list celebrity and Ronaldo make me cancel.

xiii is hard

man i hate how hard mission mode mindbroke newfags and i especially hate that being the reason we dont get challenging combo trials anymore. i miss my hand gymnastics combos

SF6 won
Capcom won
SNK lost
Saudis lost

All the defeatist cucks seething

see a

I have lot to say about that chart too

Strive in hard

Centralfiction and Xrd in very hard

Tekken 7 in hard

I decided not to ever buy another fighting game at launch price if they have DLC.

NOOOO YOU CAN'T DO THAT AAAIIIIIEEEEEE

Hey I'm just better than you in everything so don't reply to me ok? Just give up and suck my bwc

You're more than likely ltg level considering you felt the need to argue against it the whole thread.

W-well e-ermm no... e-everyone is on the same level I ca- I mean we all could be better and be on the same level as them if we just le tried!

ltg level

So still better than you? Mods 2 week this bum outta my chat

whatever makes you cope better

You spend your time replying to everyone about why they shouldn't play fighting games

you spent your time coping about it

No I just call you a faggot and move on Mr professional projector

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>implying

clearly we deserve dogshit like SF6 and T8.
though at least Tekken players had the balls to speak up.
