Do you have to have natrual talent in order to be good in fighting games /v/?
No you just need someone to teach you how to play
It can take years for you to fully understand of the options and pros/cons of those options in an oki situation, or someone can explain that shit to you in like 20 minutes.

Fighting games tutorial are garbage for the most part.You need patience and dedication.Go on youtube for help. Isnt SFV supposed to be the easiest SF to get into tho?
The current best player in SF is a product of monster training, not inborn talent.

Talent definitely helps.
I have a group of friends who are all crazy about Street Fighter.
They've played countless thousands of hours of SF3, SF4, SF5.
I've played maybe a hundred hours of each, tops, and I'm leagues above them all.
The only "inborn talent" you need is a competitive nature. Don't get scared by a challenge, get motivated.

how invested are you in it vs. how invested are they in it?
do you check online for tech, combos etc.?
do you watch tournaments and pro players play?
do your friends do any of that?
you have to have two hands and you have to enjoy winning to some extent
and the bare minimum is to be able to do the special moves fast and on reflex

My friends read heaps, always sitting in training mode, talking about new shit they've mastered.
I've never read anything, nor practiced in training modes. I only play with friends, and work stuff out on the fly.
I think it helps that I'm a game developer by trade, so I try break down the games mechanics, and go from there.

You need natural talent to be top tier at any game.
If you want to be good though, no. Problem is fighting game mechanics are so different from everything else, that if you didn't grow up playing them they are very difficult to learn.

But might I add, I pick up a lot of the terminology and tips off them.
The reason i win though, is because my fundamentals are just much better. I am far better at spacing, footsies, mixup, etc.
