How good are you at fighting games
Breddy gud, wouldn't say i'm tournyfag-tier or anything but i can't remember the last time i've lost.
I'm not. At all.
I'm not convinced I've ever won a game of a multiplayer fighting game.
Depends on the game.
Budokai Tenkaichi 2 I'm absolutely godly.
Smash I suck at.
Injustice I probably suck at too.
I'm terrible but I'm addicted to playing them
so good that I've stopped playing since it felt like there's no point anymore
no I'm not bothering to accept challenges, there's no way you're good enough
I can do over 5k damage on ther corner with Lambda with no roman cancel
I couldn't finish the skullgirls tutorial, so probably not very good.
I can usually beat other button-mashers though.
>>339579920
Not very good but I enjoy playing them anyway.
Not very, but at least I'm not longer button mashing. Having someone to play with at or slightly above your skill level helps, and you can git gud together.
>Tfw no sparring partner for Melty Blood
>Tfw forced to play in training until Steam summer sale
not very good.
I can own the game and practice all the time and still lose regularly to my friend even when it's his first time playing.
I'm the best fighting game player on 4chan.
>>339579920
I'm at that point where none of my irl friends (except my brother.) will play against me, (I had one give up mortal kombat x after I finally bought a ps4 and the game.) yet I still get trompped online
course the fact that I have a shitty internet connection might have a bit to do with that. but still.
Pretty decent, but then, my friends have all been playing fighting games since SF2 and all of them are incredibly competitive.
I'm pretty good at footsies and defense, but get completely shut down if I'm forced to play aggressively because I can't into pressure no matter how hard I try
>>339580270
not a fighting game
not a fighting game
trash game
I'm at this point where I body all my friends (who only heard about fighting games by SF2 or le epic evo moment) but struggle online. I'm ultra bronze in SFV but spent a lot of time in casual matches instead. I think I have at least the level of a silver player on my best days
Somewhat decent.
>mfw good enough to stomp all my local friends, but bad enough that i get stomped online and at locals.
Worst feeling.
I've killed myself with my own special
Every time I try to do something I end up doing something embarrassing then I drop it out of shame
>>339581969
>good enough to stomp all my local friends, but bad enough that i get stomped online and at locals
This is so annoying. It's even worse because there are no locals at all where I live.
>>339582262
Mine aren't that far off but i fucking hate traffic, and i barely know anyone so i tend to not go very often.
Its a shame but that just means i have to stick to netplay friends, which is fine since most of the games i end up playing most have good netcode.
im the 2nd best in my state in sfv
>>339582535
Where do you see state rankings?
>can get out of pools at locals
>can't get out of pools at majors
>>339579920
good enough to beat all your fat asses.
I'm complete shit at every fighting game ever.
I wish I was good in Tekken and KoF, but it's never happening. ;_;
>>339582662
its not official, just in the respective region's facebook group or something usually
>>339580935
I find that playing someone way above your skill level will make you better far faster. I used to be mediocre until i moved in with a tournyfag. You'll start off getting hammered but you'll quickly learn.
Ultra Silver on SFV, which means not awful but not good either.
Good enough to beat people who don't know what they're doing or are too predictable
>>339581053
Nah, man. I'm definitely better than you. Daigo is my friend. We share eye sight.
In ultra I am a god with fuerte
im mediocre at every other fighting game
3rd Strike, I'm probably the best player not 5star and Pyro. But maybe I'm tied with others below them.
I can't get good at them, but I love to play them. I'll probably never leave rookie rank in SFV.
I'm alright, I guess. Not too good.
Speaking of Third Strike:
>Buy the Anniversary Collection on PS2 to play with a friend
>Decide to play Arcade Mode on both for kicks and giggles
>The CPUs in both games cheat like hell
>Walking Sonic Booms
>>339586136
You can actually dash and hold forward and then tap back + the button and get one of those sonic booms. It's actually a very common mechanic called charge partitioning.
>>339586462
err that came out wrong. If charging, you can dash and hold forward and then tap back + button. This works also works with kicks, except with up and down of course.
>Playing Tekken 6 with a friend
>He mashes
>I try to fight somewhat seriously
>He's somehow getting some wins
new plan
>He just does any move randomly so i just block and punish
>ez wins
>no fun at all
This is hell and i don't even have a good enough connection to play online even when tag 2 was really good online. And now i'm in Italy, what the fuck do i do here?
Shit but decent at Melty, the 421 inputs with a 360 controller is asscancer though.
>>339587834
You are playing Tekken. Of course it's no fun.
>>339579920
i am great
>>339587834
Button mashers can be unpredictable and can sometimes give you a harder time than experienced players. It's rare but they can just fluke a win out of no where.
No one on /v/ is good at fighting games that matter and are relevant.
>>339579920
better than you
>>339579920
I'm pretty good at melee before it got as big as it is now
>>339580935
>steam melty
Join the discord, idiot
I hope UNIEL comes out soon on PC.
It's the only fighting game I really enjoyed playing.
>>339588426
Button mashers are easy to deal with. Just focus on punishing attacks, baiting and very fast moves. You don't need to focus on doing your flashy juggles all the time unless you punish happens to be a launcher.
>>339588379
It's no fun because it's too easy to beat scrubs, i want a Challenger a decent player can offer.
>>339588426
Yeah that was pretty much it, if i tried to trick him into doing something or tried any strat then it would fall apart because everything was so random. At that point you can pretty much do low moves or punish everything because mashers don't know how to block or understand unsafe moves.
>>339579920
aspect ratio
>>339588786
No I'm saying Tekken is a shit game that has never been fun. It's fucking awful dude.
>>339588843
okay
>>339579920
I'm decent at Smash, bad at every version of Street Fighter I've ever played, in Soul Calibur I'm terrifying as Astaroth but useless as anyone else, and I'm getting to be ok at pic related. Shigen Naoe is one of the most fun heavy characters I've ever played, he's a walking avalanche with claws.
Everyone should pick up Last Blade 2 now that it's on PSN. SFV is utter trash in comparison.
>>339579920
Pretty bad but I don't care since fighting games don't give me any insensitive to git gud, because they only matter in multiplayer.
>Good fighting game
>Popular with enough players
>Good netcode
Pick only 2 at best. Even if a game is good and as great netcode it doesn't make sense to learn it.
I won't fall for the local scene meme.
I'm really good at beat'em alls though. It's the superior fighting genre, real singleplayer games you can have fun with however you want for decades if you want. All fighting games should be BTAs.
>>339588942
Which Smash?
Gold in SFV (not satisfied with this rank since I can fight Platinums just fine for some reason)
>>339579920
Won my first local so I'm moving up in the world.

BEATS
>>339589015
Melee and 4. I won't touch Brawl these days; I was pissed enough that they fucked up ma boi Ganondorf, but the random tripping makes that game unplayable imo.
Speaking of Smash, Rivals of Aether is a fantastic example of the genre, and I'm not bad at that either.
Is anyone else playing Last Blade 2? It might be the most underappreciated fighting game of all time. Me & a friend started playing it on an emulator a while back, and now it's been ported to PS4.
Used to be 7k BP with Gief in USF4. Pretty high on the Hakan ladder too (but considering no one plays the character, not much of an achievement).
Currently 5,5k LP with Birdie in SF5.
Playing locals, I usually beat pretty much any other no-names. But I still get my ass handed over by guys that streams and attend big tournaments and stuff. Feels a bit frustrating, but I think I'll get there eventually.
>>339589271
I think you're just bad.
>>339590939
I think you're just a retard who doesn't understand probability.
I'm below the average skill on /v/ for sure, but I'm better than all my friends and none of them even like fighting games.
I only really play Melee, SFV, third strike OE, and guilty gear Xrd.
Unfortunately the scenes for literally all these games don't exist in Australia.
Don't know
I've never played one.
Terrible, but I like playing them.
I keep telling myself I'll git gud eventually but I have so many games to play that I never want to dedicate the time to practice, so I just play with friends who are also shitters.
>>339591124
You'd be surprised how bad the denizens of a video game board are at video games.
>>339591049
Yeah, you're just bad.

Got 25th at a stacked regional for Smash 4 back in January, I've only gone to local city tournaments since then.
Reached Platinum in SFVwith FANG, but I haven't gone to any offline tournaments.
Kinda bad at KoF and anime games, but they're fun.
Good, but not good enough.
>>339591449
Stop projecting.
I don't play fighting game at all, but I enjoy watching FGC people flip their shit all the time
What am I going to do now that LTG is kill?
>>339591332
I can make up combos and work out stuff with mechanics.
Need more practice applying all this during games though.
Absolutely terrible. I bought several fighting games trying to git gud, but the only thing I can do is some random combos while button mashing.
Seriously, how do I git gud?
>>339579920
I got a 15 win streak in Tekken 7 today

Play one game, that many fighting games makes shit at all of them. Just be good at one or two of them.
I understand the basics of a few games thoroughly. I know how footsies work, i know how mixups work, I can input most special moves, I can hit confirm well enough to land some useful combos, I know how to use fireballs, and how to deal with them, I know the difference between how you play SF and KoF, but I am not good. I have no real experience. I've only played against my sister, who isn't terribly impressive but occasionally does things right. Like she'll expertly jump over my fireballs, and then I'll beat her, and throw fireballs again, and then she gets hit by them twice before she actually manages to get in again, or she'll push me into the corner and take off half my health, then I'll throw her like 3 times, and finish her off with a jump-in combo. I'd get torn apart if I actually played with someone that knows what they're doing, but if the randoms that play popular fighters online are as bad as I hear then I could do pretty well against them.
>>339594560
Is your sister hot?
I don't have good reactions or executions, but I know the importance of creating the setups, pokes, resets and I have well rehearsed high damage combos (which are not always execution dependent.) My best aspect is just experience, cause Ive been playing fighting games for more than 20 years, and despite all the frame data and information out there, most players still wanna jump even when you show them your on point antiair game, most people wanna rush you down when the timer is ending, and most people fall for simple mixups when they think they have the upper hand.
That's whats so great about fighting games: people can't help but show you their real self, if you push them to. Very few competitive games are so psychologically disarming.
>>339594512
Anniversary Collection came with some SF2 version where you can use any version >>339594397
of any SF2 character, I was referring to that. Hence the "both".
Sorry, should have been more specific.
Slightly above average but still pretty shit. Absolutely love them though.

That's pretty impressive.
>>339594913
Some people would say so. She has a feminine face, long hair that isn't in a special snowflake cut, and falls somewhere into the chubby/thicc spectrum. Furthermore she likes to lift weights, and aspires to have Chun Li legs.
Before you tell me to pursue her, I have no interest in that. I'm a christian, so I don't have much interest in sex, and I were to have sex I wouldn't have it with someone so closely related. Cousins are fine though, and I have a hot cousin. Or at least she used to be hot, haven't seen her in years.

Guess I'll have to play with the A.I only in GG Xrd Revelator.
>>339579920
Semi-Related question.
Is it better to practice, with a good character, or a bad one? Does having a variety of tools train you to use them better, or does having more limited options force you to get better at reads, and fundamentals? I ask because I really enjoy Alex in V, but he's really garbage, and I'm happy to stick with him, but I don't want to hamper my own advancement.

In SF5 im just above the scrubs but get my ass handed to me by anyone over 2k LP.
Im a Smash tourneyfag both melee and tr4sh. In Pokken I was topping the regional leaderboards.
Also generally I consider that I have a good understanding of the fundamentals and the meta of each game. I'm also a decently fast learner.
But as a disclaimer, I mostly suck at 3D fighters like Tekken and DoA.

>>339598061
That shit happens in ranked.
For some reason I've had almost a 90% winrate in ranked, but when I'm playing casual matches I get stomped big time. I think I'm on a 10 game losing streak at the moment...
I understand the basics but I crumple easily under pressure so I lose 90% of my matches, even if it's against some guy just spamming special moves
I'm still enjoying playing and trying to improve though
Decent. I've got good fundamentals but my reactions are garbage.

Quite a bit better then average, but nowhere even close to tournament level.
Skill in fighting games is kinda nuts, the different tiers in skill seem to be an exponential away from one another.
I can utterly destroy people a little less skilled then me, but people a little more skilled then me I get destroyed by.
Its understandable why it's a hard genre to get in to.

the ps3 of xrd outsold the ps4 version because of that.
I used to be pretty good with Sonya in MK9. Played her since day one. Had a great win rate online.
Then I got wrecked by a tourney player in a lobby while he was playing Rain, Roundhouse cancels had me shitting my pants and I haven't played MK9 since.

Shows you how far brand recognition and nostalgia can take a company, capcom as well as EA are mistreating their customers at every turn.

>>339579920
bad. i'd buy something to play online and git gud but i'm poor.
>>339602650
>The characters take up too much of the screen, which can seem kind of paradoxial to pro players
I think this is just an issue with your perspective to approaching the idea. Often times, fighting games incorporate just enough screen space to get things right. If characters were allowed to move any distance, (unless the game's design is better off that way, which is never exactly is,) then the multiplayer would arguably be pretty broken as you have way too much space to not be punished for backing up.
The restrictions 99% of fighters put on your screen movement is enough to keep things at a balance while allowing all sorts of necessary distance play, such as far, mid, and close range. Zoners are practically living evidence that you can still have enough space while fighting back.
It's objectively beneficial to game balance. It may be difficult for someone new at fighters or someone with the untrained eye to see, but in the end it's doing you and everyone else a favor.
>>339600368
Plus the game looks like a discount MK when in reality it is so, so much better.
At least the newer characters are working against that.

Not really good at all since I haven't played in years
I understand and watch the games often though
I wish I was better.
I know my mental game will just improve with developing strategy and playing against opponents more but I lack the ability to execute the ideas I have during a match consistently because I need to practice my execution way more.

>>339579920
I can't really tell. Sometimes I play well and sometimes I play like shit. I seem to play better offline but I can't tell if that is because I know how my friends play or if it's just because of the lack of online lag. And there aren't any locals that I know of that aren't an hour drive or more. Might go to KiT this year to try my hand though.
