You have 10 seconds to explain why you haven't gotten gud at fighting games yet.
Because once you do the game becomes boring as fuck then all you do is notice gimmicky shit.
they're bad games
>>315544964
Because you touch yourself at night.
>>315544964
I just don't find them fun, even when I'm winning.
But I am trying to.
The problem is I get kinda terrified of going online and playing but it's the only way cause I don't live in a city with an arcade scene.
They're horribly designed
>hurr projectile projectile here I go
>I'll just keeps shooting lasers so that combo you spent weeks practicing is useless
>wow so deep /v/ is such casual for not liking them
I'm pretty okay at melee. I could beat most of the better players at the local weeklies I go to.
No one to play local with.
I'm not into competitive games.
>>315545651

yeah and cody is stronger than akuma too amirite ?

Here we go
>>315544964
I'm trying.
>played SF2
>not sure if I should even bother playing 3 4 and the Alpha games with 5 coming out in a few months
;_;
>>315546001
>>315546014
What's wrong with melee? I'd say it's possibly deeper than street fighter which is the standard of fighting games.
>>315546269
Well maybe not 4 because 5 is basically an upgrade to that, but you should definetely try 3 and the Alpha series sometime, especially the Alpha series, they're quite unique.
>>315545517
this desu
>>315546417
What does desu even mean? Why am I seeing this being posted everywhere? Is this a new epic meme?
>>315546269
It would be worthwhile to play Super Turbo, Alpha series, or 3 online if you were going to prepare for 5.
Super Turbo HDR and 3 have console versions you can get on PS3 and 360 but I don't know how many people still play HDR. Plenty of people still play 3 plus you have close to 20 years of resources to figure out everything about it.
I think fighting games are pretty boring
>>315546520
I don't know to be honest, family.
>>315546520
Translator's note: desu means desu.
>>315546290
> I'd say it's possibly deeper than street fighter
hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahaahahhaha
Because this is a horrible place to talk about them. People that don't even like them feel the need to chime in and gripe at how everything needs to change for them while calling people casuals over the smallest things in single player games at the same time.
>>315546621
He can use Fightcade to play ST, personally I find HD remix visually horrendous.
>>315546520
*shaking my head*
you should lurk more to be honest family
>>315544964
It's boring. Everyone I know who is good at fighting games just uses the same combos that juggle the enemy until the fight's over. Better to play with other people who don't know what they're doing because if one of you pull off something cool it's exciting and the battle's are all over the place trying to get stuff to work.
>>315546843
Doesn't sound very different from the FGC desu.
>>315546843
this desu senpai
Because none of my friends liked fighting games while I was growing up, so as a result I had no one to play with out in my rural hometown with no arcades around. I like them though.
Is street fighter v going to be a good point to get into online mp fightan? Will I need to buy a fight stick?
>>315546945
So basically you're entertained by meaningless lights and sounds?
Because I got good at sc2. Fighting games arent real competition.
>>315547043
Online play will be always online play, problem is if you get used to it you won't be good at local tournaments and shit because you'll be used to the frame delay, there's a reason for pretty much 90% of the top leaderboards never qualify for tournaments.
I'm gonna try with SFV
My next door neighbor is hella good at USFIV and he's tried teaching me but i have no idea wtf he's talking about when he does
Hopefully SFV changes that
I will get gud when my main game comes out.
>>315546808
It wouldn't be unreasonable to guess you know nothing about melee. I've played both street fighter and melee and understand the mechanisms of both.
>>315546860
>mfw I was secretly hoping someone would reply so I could find out for myself if there was some place I could play them online
because i'm naturally terrible at them
I can't even do a cancel and i'm sure it's one of the most basic things in video games
>>315547257
>how to trigger v
That's not SFV.
>>315544964
I don't like them.
Who /DECAPRE/ here?
>>315544964
I have no interest in the genre senpai.
I have a job
>>315547227
That's alright, I don't plan on getting good enough to go to tourneys anyway. Plus I live in a hick ass area where are none around. I've thought about buying USF4 several times, waiting for a sale on steam, but after they announced V I decided to hold off and maybe just wait to get that.
>>315547341
A cancel is when you cancel the animation recovery of an action for whatever reason, if you ever played a 3D platformer game chances are you've done a lot of jump cancels.
As soon as you explain why you're on /v/ instead of playing video games.
>>315547489
The recovery? I thought it was cancelling an action before it even finished.
>>315547479
Well have fun then, and hope the SFV's netcode is better than IV. Also to answer your other question, no you don't need a fight stick, fight stick is for people who learned how to play on arcades, it won't automatically make you play better, play with whatever you feel comfortable with, many pro players play with Xbox 360 controllers for example.
>>315547479
Anyone /Birdie/ here?
Some of those links are damn tough on a controller though. Sticks help with rhythm.
>>315547692
The action itself is when your the hit is confirmed, everything after that is the animation recovery, you can cancel before an action though, but that's another story.
>>315544964
too easy to cheese.
unpopular genre.
all fighting games are exactly the same with a different coat of paint.
almost naked female characters used to entice losers to buy it
lag ruins multiplayer
>>315545651
smash is a party game.
>>315547969
My god, you're absolutely right..
>>315547881
I can do 1 frame links on an Xbox 360 controller just fine, I think it's just a matter of getting used to it.
>>315545517
This. What cities even have arcade scenes in America? I thought they were completely dead over here.
My home Internet sucks and I don't have any black friends so I have no reason to. I did get the Platinum for Soul Calibur 5 if that means anything.
Fighting games are cool.

>>315544964
I can't commit to a single character, so I'm just sorta okay with all of them, and get trounced by people who know their shit with one
>>315550349
She knew the right moment to mash and he was trying to bait another option.
>>315544964
I just bought MKX, but my computer is largely too shite to run it other than on specific stages. Also, nobody seems to play online anymore.
Are those good enough reasons?
>>315546520
It's the polite version of da, which is used at the end up Japanese sentences to make a positive declaration.
>>315549829
That seems like way too little chip damage for how long she was being hit, that or her guard should've broken at some point.
>>315550684
even if you got good at MKX you'd still be shit at fighting games
>>315550684
u should just refund mkx on the pc, it's a dead game and it's even deader on the pc
cuz im bad
I'm bad and don't want to be but I'm still bad and also only own like 3 fighting games. I also don't own one of those fancy sticks because I'm poor, which stems from me being bad at life.
>>315550884
Normals don't generally do chip. Her guard was close to being broken but she also did some perfect blocks which restore guard bar.
>>315544964
I like Street Fighter characters but I'm not good at any of the games
MvsC2 was fun to play at the arcade though
>>315551240
Well, I bought it for only like 7 bucks as a cd key so it's not refundable. But I think I've had enough fun with its story mode to warrant that price anyway.
>>315544964
I can't figure out how to guard against or dodge attacks
>>315550684
>buys mkx
Lol. Thats not even a good fighting game.
>>315544964
No fightstick so I can only main Zangief with a 360 controller.
>>315551624
>>315551213
I'm easily entertained by X-ray animations.
I'm better than my friends at it, and I do pretty good online, so that's good enough for me.

Gee whiz, how fun.
Just bought SF IV, my first fighting game ever, today. Everyone kicks my ass. Feels odd because I'm normally good at a game as soon as I pick it up.
How do I git gud anons? There's so much shit to learn it's overwhelming.
>>315552689
>having any sort of competitive spirit is being a 'tryhard'
Stop.
>>315552852
>fun is objective
>>315544964
>gotten gud
Nigga "gud" is not an end. That kind of thinking is what gets people to 5 million BP and get stomped in tournaments in SF4.
It's the thrill of the fight you gotta think about. Enjoy these games and have fun and you'll go farther than what some people think the bare minimum of "gud" is.
>>315552932
Keep playing? Why do people always ask this question? "How do I get good at ___?"
You play it and naturally get better. Stop asking the same stupid question.
>>315552935
I wasn't trying to imply that, I'm just saying I can still have fun in a loss instead of only in a win.
>>315553032
>Feels odd because I'm normally good at a game as soon as I pick it up
Maybe that's why. They fuck up anything that isn't a fighter and when they lose a 1 v 1 game, they have to admit someone is just better than them at the moment and they just want the quickest way to being the "better" player.
Anyone who plays long enough will realize you just have to play more and do a little better, and there will always be people that can kick your ass.
Fighting games are like playing the guitar-everyone wants to be good at it, and it must be a great experience to be good at it, but it requires a shitload of effort, and even practicing simple chords every day is more fun than playing fighting games just to go into Training mode and practice ridiculous combos. At least, that's how it feels for a beginner.
>>315544964
Because I'm not a nigger on welfare.
>>315553171
If that's what you meant, you need to stop using buzzwords like 'tryhard' whenever you meet a disagreeing opinion. Try expressing your thoughts with actual words.
I agree with you, by the way.
>>315553032
Right I understand what you're sayingbut how do I get good?
>>315553171
Well duh you can because you can learn from mistakes or stupid shit can happen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbpXplP_WFE
>>315553414
>even practicing simple chords every day is more fun than playing fighting games just to go into Training mode and practice ridiculous combos
You don't need to d that at all. You can go VERY far with just simple combos, learning to play against other people is much more important after you learn the basic motions (which shouldn't take you that long).
>>315553414
>>315553314
Pretty much. Everybody wants instant gratification and don't really understand the concept of losing based solely on their own lack of skill, so they immediately overreact or give up because it's unfamiliar territory.
It's just so hilarious how somebody asks "How do I become better at ____?" without stopping to think how silly that kind of question is. You get better at things by practicing, but modern gamers can't wrap their heads around this sort of things.
>>315553445
alright, sorry senpai
>>315553651
Read the end
>At least, that's how it feels for a beginner.
Even if he doesn't (and I'm pretty sure he doesn't but I don't know) feel that way, a LOT of beginners think that to play a fighter you absolutely have to go to training mode and grind out combos to even think about competing. Hell, some of them prioritize that over learning how to block or properly move in the games.
I don't find them to be all fun.
Whatever time I spend learning certain attacks or techniques is rendered meaningless when I when I go up again skilled CPUs or human players and from there it becomes button mashing.
>>315553937
I thought he meant he was a beginner and that's how he felt.
>>315554039
>skilled CPUs
>>315554102
Hush, playing CPUs on the hardest difficulty is fine when you're literally just starting out. They're automated so you can get a basic idea of what beats what and some good defense practice.
>>315554102
by skilled CPUs I mean anything above normal in single player or the like.
>>315544964
No one to git gud with.
Just me twiddling the buttons for hours on end just to resemble playing competently by myself.
>>315553937
>a LOT of beginners think that to play a fighter you absolutely have to go to training mode and grind out combos to even think about competing.
But that's true. You wouldn't stand a chance in a tournament if you couldn't do maxdamage combos.
>>315553314
>>315553817
I understand that I have to practice, and I don't even need to win. I just want to put up a fight. But I just don't know where to start practicing. Blocking? Combos?
It's just difficult throwing yourself into this when everyone else is so much more experienced. The opponent blocks me and then combos me to death, I don't even know how to react.
>>315554250
I just found it funny he used the word skilled for CPU opponents.
>>315554315
You may not get top 8 at evo but you can do a lot with just simple combos if you are very good. Once you play to the point of being that good, spending a biut of time in training to learn a better combo won't be much t you anyway.
>fighting game threads on /v/
Always the scrubbiest shit. For people who always complain about "casuals" ruining video games you fuckers always say the dumbest shit about fighting games.
>>315554515
What's the difference between zoning and spamming?
>>315554315
We're talking online right now, most people's ambitions end with winning 10 matches consistently. Blocking and proper movement will serve you much better than grinding out a bunch of long combo strings here.
>>315554372
What you need is a good universal damage dealer (like a normal or 2 into a special move) and a short way into your DM/ultra/overdrive/distortion/whatever. After that, learn to not fold under pressure like mashing or whatever.
>>315554579
Spamming doesn't exist is the difference. Play scummy as fuck and don't give two shits about what any bitch niggas have to say about it, especially these days since it's online and you don't have to worry about getting shanked behind the arcade because you tick throwed one too many times.
>>315554372
Don't try to focus on everything at once. Try to focus on one thing and improve that one. Like for example play a session focusing on trying to defend better, another on trying to work on your pressure, another on your fireball game and spacing etc. You can't learn everything at once, have to go bit by bit.
When you lose to something THINK ABOUT WHY YOU JUST LOST. If you jumped in someone's anti air then you can realize you just got desperate and tried to land your jump in, so next time you'll think twice before jumping. If you keep getting grabbed realize you have to learn how to deal with grabs and look at how the opponent sets them up etc.
It's slow, it takes time, just keep at it.
>>315546520
It seems desu has returned but for all the wrong reasons.
Spam is spam at the end of the day
>>315554579
There's no such thing as spamming, just scrublards that can't learn how to punish.
>>315552286
You guys still haven't given any reason why Melee isn't deeper than your rock'em sock'em robots game.
>>315546520
It's an irregular verb in Japanese that means roughly, "to be," but due to the structure of the language, like "suru," it has many other meanings in context.
>>315554579
Zoning is using more than just the obvious fireball to keep someone where you want them. Long range normals, fireballs, etc. Mix it up depending on what they're trying to do.
>>315554860
Or this if you're online. Their fault if they keep running into the same shit.
>>315544964
Because all tourney games (competitive shit) is for autists with low self esteem.
Sorry OP.
>>315554829
>>315554870
Thanks for the advice. Time to go lose some more in hopes of gittin gud. I'll keep these things in mind though.
>>315544964
I'm playing Street Fighter III 3rd Strike Online Edition Fight for the Future right now. So far I've lost all 40 online matches I've played.
I haven't gotten good because I can't read what my opponent is doing or react to attacks in time to do anything about it.
>>315555185
because meleefags will never get over the chip on their shoulder about being deeper than other games and it's just funnier to see this pissing match. They always bring it up without fail.
>>315554515
This is true, but I still love the guys that try to call out the people on /v/. How many competitions have you attended. How many have you won? Can you prove you're actually good at whatever game you'll claim?
>>315544964
Because it's boring
>>315552774
/v/ is autistic, news at 11
>>315553495
Don't listen to them. The FGC are idiots who only want to keep out newbies but don't want to admit that everything about them is mechanically far more unintuitive than practically every other genre. If the games actually showed you why, say, you stuffed up a given input, or displayed hit/hurtboxes for you in game, or gave you a single player mode that progressively challenges your understanding of the game, acknowledged basic mindgames, or even just gave a proper walkthrough of the basic mechanics, there wouldn't be quite this issue. Instead, most of this shit is just invisible, and you're expected to just understand it all up front.
>>315555462
so really your argument boils down to:
>lol people playing a game I don't like or know anything about, what losers
Instead of actually trying to disprove that melee is deep.
>>315544964
I'm working on it right now, though. I'm playing online and getting pretty alright with__Q____So far I've only had one person angrily PM me after a fight for taunting, even though you pretty much have to taunt to live as Q. Been watching Kuroda and Max for tips and tricks.
Fighting gamesand Smashis the only kind of games that interest me any more. Why? because i only enjoy competitive games. Shooters i suck at. MOBAs i just really don't care for. And i love the idea of learning fundamentals and things you can do when you get in certain situation and then sometimes doing something different to throw you opponent off their games. and then picking your character based on how you play and counter picking your opponent. For some reason this is all so damn fun to me. Its like every character is a deck of cards and you can play any card you want and also playing Rock Paper Scissors all at the same time. Any way, i like to think i'm pretty good at fightan gaims
>>315554515
>>315555518
This. No need to keep saying it at this point, it's just as canned as the rest of the usual uninformed phrases in these threads.
Want to make them better, talk about actual shit because there are usually at least a couple people lurking that like them and wouldn't mind discussing shit.
>>315555518
I've been to several locals, gotten top eight a few times and won first place at Soul Calibur 2 and MvC3. Haven't gotten out for any tournaments in the past year or so due to work and recently needing to get a new vehicle.
>>315555778
This. What most of the FGC won't tell you is that you only get good if you play against other players of similar skill level. Getting stomped by someone 10 times as good as you won't teach you much.
>>315544964
Because I enjoy them. If I went out of my way to try and "get gud" I'd become one of "those guys" and would lose enjoyment from casual fighting with friends.
>>315544964
because fighting games are (mostly) shit and not worth the effort to master them.
>>315544964
we can prove this right now OP, you have SFIV, Arcana Hearts, or Shitgirls on steam?
what about PS3?
>>315553937
>a LOT of beginners think that to play a fighter you absolutely have to go to training mode and grind out combos to even think about competing
And of course they think that, as that's what fighters are almost always presented to people as. How many neutral game exhibitions/trailers are there compared to stuff focusing on combos?
>>315555794
>don't like
>implying implications
Melee is plenty fun, but like I said, constantly feeling some need to bring it up or something just brings to mind trying to show off for your older brother or something, just on a much, much nerdier level overall. It's just funny to poke fun at it.
>>315555438

/v/ doesn't like skullgirls or Xrd though.
Gotta say, for as much as you shit on the fgg, the capcom bias here is just as strong.
>>315555438
3rd strike is a crapshoot, I don't even mean that in "3S is shit" kind of way, either you fight someone else who is on your level, or you fight someone who knows what they're doing which essentially means every option you can use is shut down because of parrying and the juggle system.
Not to say that doesn't happen in 2 or 4, but in 3 it feels even more oppressive than it should be especially when you got a CC yun on your ass
>>315544964
Because once you think you're good, you've already lost. You must always stay hungy and accept that you need to get better if you want to git gud at fightan.
>>315555462
SF fags clinging to the idea that their fighter is the deepest thing ever by default is even more hilarious.
>>315544964
Only (some) 3d fighters let you create characters

That's what you get for being a shitter.
I don't know. I try and try and practice and I never get better. I read on frame data, I learn stuff about getting into the mindgames, I learn the combos, and I STILL suck.
>>315544964

3rd strike is a fantastic game, im sure people will tell you otherwise but stick at it man. Id say spend more time in arcade mode to get a better feel for each characters strengths and weaknesses. After all online players all have the same character tools to use and a wider grasp of these can only help
I despise multiplayer on any game, and button-mashing is enough to win single-player in any fighter.
>>315557720
>Any game you could compare it to in how it handles?
Persona but without the depth and almost frustrating in how random and retarded it can be sometimes.
oh, and the grappler can't grapple, but has a 5 second omnidirectional meterless counter that wipes everything in the fucking game
fuck this garbage
what sf character plays most like lili in tekken

I don't want to invest that much time into a hobby before I can start enjoying it. I play games to relax, not get another job.

>I despise multiplayer on any game
I used to too. I thought people were stupid for paying for games with no content, just a few characters and stages.
Now I only play fighting games.
>>315547728
Do they use the analog stick or dpad? Tried both and they feel uncomfortable or is it one of thise things where you have to get used to it?
>>315557786
No, I netplay with my friend and the steam group
>>315557787
But I thought it was supposed to just come naturally?
>>315553032 told me so
>>315557581
I'm not denying that at all. That's why I previously said that beating neckbeards in an arcade is actually a feat for people on this site, given their skill level. I just assume that 90% of the people on this site are lying about everything.
>>315557720
Further proof of my point that no one here tells the truth, giving me little reason to believe any claim without evidence.
>>315557906
Well thank you for that, I was kind of expecting marvel 1, but whatever. Think I might go with my initial thought and skip this.
>>315554860
>you don't have to worry about getting shanked behind the arcade
Ahah.........
People having mad beef and eventually getting ready to swing at each other all because of some dumb shit that happened on the arcade machines a months ago was actually one of best fucking things ever.
Ive been playing Tekken all my life ever since Tekken 2. The reason why i havnt perfected my skills is because ever since I started going online ive realized that fighting games are too spammer friendly, character learning curves are horribly unbalanced (i mastered paul in 2 days and got to warrior in 4, (ive played all my life as kaz and im still a fighter after 2500 online games and months of training) and berserker with asuka in 2 days. These kind of games rely way too much on guessing and memorizing as oposed to having skills or fun, and punish players for trying new things.
Tl;dr: fighting games are exactly the same as playing short matches of csgo. They are only fun when you win, skill is the smallest winning card and theres way too much memorizing shit. Looks like a job.
>>315558265
If you know someone who has it or you really don't care about blowing $50, it's good for dicking around.

When you don't understand the system it's pretty fun, but when you know what the fuck is going on it can get annoying
>>315558383
If skill doesn't matter why do the same people win everything?

You honestly shouldn't feel the need to prove anything to anyone here if what he says is correct, and being the best in your scene is an "achievement" to a board full of people that don't even like fighters.
>>315558732
That makes no sense you know.
>>315558245
Ah well. I've been playingSmash 4more recently because with SFV on the horizon I think I'm burnt out on USF4. Can't wait for it to come out and get more hatemail for playing Ryu again.
>>315558571
Eh, one of my friends only cares to play blazblue, another only cares about persona, and the last doesn't even like them. I'd just be wasting money.
I didn't like SF4 very much, so I just didn't play it. Then when I tried Ultra on PC the transition to Steamworks apparently fucked it up, causing lots of lag when I tried playing. I heard that it eventually got fixed but ended up driving most people away.
Xrd is cool, but it's too hard online and I stopped having fun losing. I don't feel good about giving up on it, but it felt kind of like trying to learn boxing by hopping in the ring with a semipro welterweight. I didn't see any reason to stick around.
I'm not weeaboo enough to play Blazblue.
I'll try SFV.
>>315558965
I'm sick of blazblue, my friend killed that game for me because he bitches anytime any game other than blazblue exists.
even if he didn't I'd get sick of it because the game rewards rushdown so heavily and has consistently punished blocking and zoning as much as possible. Fuck, I'm not even going to rant about it right now but it's such fucking horseshit
what are the best fightcade games /v/
>>315559186
Why not try Street Fighter III?
Nobody in my area plays Marvel anymore; I dropped Street Fighter more than a year ago; No one here plays Dead or Alive; I have at most 2 friends that play Tekken, and I never see them; I'm the only person who actually is willing to play Soul Calibur; P4A was dead, so I sold it; Skullgirls is shit. That's why.
>>315559280
KOF98 and 3S. Everything else is pretty much dead
>>315559398
Pretty sure 2002 has more players than 98.
I'm trying to. Having a few difficulties though.
I saw a used madcatz TE for PS3 in great condition. Picked it up to use on PC for SFV and BB. Got home and turns out it isn't compatible with PC. I tried to get a refund but couldn't. I then found out I can buy a PCI USB card to make it work. I ordered one online after a lot of searching, they sent me the wrong one. Three weeks later and I'm still waiting for it to arrive. I just want to play some videogames.
>>315544964
I'm pretty decent at Melty, GG and uniel.
>>315559398
dead or not I still have a person to play them with
we were thinking of playing
Samurai Showdown
Last blade
Garou
and like all the shmup games
and jojo
>>315559212
I just got bored of it. The friend that plays persona used to play bb with us too, but he rages like a goddamn monkey when he loses and eventually quit.
>>315559536
what usb ports do you have, on my old laptop the TE didn't work on my 2.0, but it worked on my 3.0
also do you have a 360 controller emulator installed?
Why do people love GG and shit on BB? Is it the metal music and style or is there a big flaw with BB?
>>315559334
Is it not dead? Fightcade's stats say there might be 20 people online in the US on weekday evenings.
>>315559546
Play Vsav if that's the case
>>315559398
>no one plays vampire saviour
>>315559968
And you can be one of them, anon.
>>315559805
It's one of those OG "cred" games here and people want to not look like casuals.
BB was shit starting with calamity trigger, CS 1 and 2 improved it in bits, CSE damn good until cheese pizza came along and it was about on Xrd's level. CPE and and the new one are just boring to me so I'm sticking with GG for now.
>>315544964
I still can't make it out of pools.
>>315559968
Whoops I'm a retard and read the chart wrong. Still, not very interested.
>>315559968
Here is the portion of the lobby right now at 6:39PM EST on a thursday, any other room except KoF would have at most 6 players
>>315559968
20 people is plenty for a fighting game
>>315560347
For people that already know and like the game, sure. For people that don't like the idea of going 0-500, probably not.
>>315558592
Easy. Using characters with easy and effective mixups and spamming a series of combinations, every now and then switching to others.
Check jin in tekken, not many people use him because his juggling and launchers are weak (besides ewgf ofc).On the other hand, he has the best parry in tge game and superb poking. But he isnt very spammer friendly and is complicated, a great and fun character whicj requires skill.
Now lets look at lars: some of the safest launchers, best mixups, best crushers, great juggling damag, really fast and easy mixups and poking. Low skill yet easy to win with.
In the end you see 10 times more lars in mp than Jins.
Competitive wise. Why do you think Knee stopped maining Bryan Fury post tt2 nerf? Why do you think Scarfman in smash always uses the best char and never gets a main? Its all about picking a character with easy mixups and spacing and spamming the fuck out.
No skill just memory and luck.
>>315560758
you're about 18 years too late to want to play catch up, on occasion you can find another beginner, but most players are pretty firmly familiar with the game.
>>315560758
You just find someone around your level and play them to get better. You're still going to lose a ton against other players, but learning the neutral will at least give you a chance
>>315544964
I literally can't, I tried playing with a friend and he just whooped my ass for four hours straight. Just mashing buttons and shit, good thing I don't care for the genre.
>>315560781
I don't play those games but even if Lars or whoever else is so good, you don't see a random guy picking him and beating top players. The same people are always at the top even though the strong characters are available to everyone.
OP might as well have said "raise your hand if you're a sniveling casual"
Pro-tip: don't use ryu and ken
Pro-tip: don't just study "brod and bottor" combos on youtube
Protip: Learn the meta, develop your own strategies.
Protip: Git gud.
>Every single every fighting game is different

So in order to get good at a fighting game you must
>Find one specific game that for the rest of your life you will play

at least some fps games carry over unless you're playing Where'd-my-bullets-GO in which case there is 0 carry over because bullet spread pattern memorization

Okay buddy.
Does a complete .zip or .rar exist of fightcades games?
arcades might be dead but at least I can play with my friends over the net
>>315560897
I could probably get a friend to get a game and play along if I really asked, but I doubt it would stick because they're not interested in the genre to begin with.
>>315561408
Zoning and other fundamentals carry over from game to game.
>>315561408
Fucking tons of shit carries over between fighters. Your first fighter will be the most difficult, but after that things come much more naturally when learning new games,
>>315558354
I got in a fight in an arcade once
Some rage-head just punched me in the face after I beat him.
I grabbed him and slammed him on the floor, back to back judo style. Ran away after that and I never saw him ever again.
I'll try playing SFV, but my pc is shit, so i'll probably just hit the lab, and then play at my only fight buddy. I just hope he keeps his words, because he only mained shotos at 4 and sfxtk. He is the reason for me to refuse using Ryu to learn fundamental.
>>315561158
Thats because youve got to memorize your mixups and juggles first, that isnt skill its just memory
>>315544964
That shit takes too much time dude.
Do you know how many fucking games I could be finishing? Getting gud at competitive games just takes for fucking ever.
>>315561408
Basics carry over just fine. The only real difficult jump comparatively is from 2D fighters to 3D
I'm playing skullgirls as my first fighting game and find pretty damn fun, only suck at defending against mix-ups.
Fightsticks in Canada cost stupid amounts of money right now. I've tried to get into them in the past but keep putting it down for too long. Love watching them though
Might try and buy one on black friday if there will be deals
>>315561991
If you want to learn fundamentals but don't like Ryu/Ken there are many other options like Cody, Balrog, Guile and to a degree Vega.
>>315562571
>Cody
He only teaches bad habits.
>>315562395
wait until you try to fight someone who has beat extend, napalm pillar, or updo on assist where it's fucking impossible to do anything unless you bait and then you're only giving your opponent a small window to start their offense again.
Love the game but fuck those assists
>>315561436
>Implying I'll let you hit me with your safe little faggy links
I deal with losers like you by dragging you to the corner, and correctly predicting your wake-up 6x in a row.
I bet if you and I played rock-paper-scissors for 5 minutes, I would beat you 90% of the time just by assessing your emotions.
Learn the meta. Git gud.
>>315562395
Eh, that's something you'll get as you play and learn what the animations are.
>>315562686
you didn't learn bison killing your ass in the most humiliating way possible
Shotos vs Bison: 4
Charlie vs bison: 0
get fucked blanka
>>315562686
What the fuck did you just say about me, you little bitch?
>>315562898
>>315550349
at least she didnt go for a DP like a dumbass
I wanted to try sf4 but I gave up after 50 hours because I got tired of using karate man in a gi but everywhere I read was like if your new play karate man in gi! Having to learn 44 match ups when I can't even srk consistently is a bitch. Also why is karate man in red gi's sweep better than karate man in white gi's?
I work every Saturday, so I wouldn't be able to go to tournaments.
Because the only people that play fighting games that live within a 50 mile radius of where I live are niggers.
And I dont like niggers.
>>315553503
>that Chin
Last time I tried was vanilla SF4. I've recently had my interest piqued once more, but now it's like eh, not sure I want to drop money on USF4 when SFV is on the way.
