How good are you at Fighting Games.
Pretty shit, but I mostly just play Super Turbo on an emulator, and get my ass kicked by the CPU
>>339661965
that fucking horrible zone where I'm better than anyone I play on local multiplayer to where they aren't a challenge and bad enough that anytime I play online I get my ass kicked mercilessly.
>>339661965
I'm alright but i have a love and hate relation ship with fighting games. Every game i ove is pretty much dead on arrival and no one plays anything besides SF.
SF5 is especially a game that i kinda hate but there's nothing else to play besides it. KOF14 and Revelator will be DOA around here as well.
Not very but I love Street Fighter, especially SF2. I grew up playing my older brothers SNES copy of SF2 World Warrior (and later Turbo). To this day I still play ST despite being shit.
I've dumped more hours in SF4 then I'm willing to admit and never got good at that game either. I was going to get SF5 but my GPU is too shitty to run the game. However recently I've noticed the SFV community is really going to shit. Players are turning on other players. Everyone in streams is just looking to shit on either the players or the game itself. It feels like theres a small core that actually loves the game and wants it to succeed and then everyone else is like the guys in a NASCAR audience that just wants to see cars crash and catch fire. I'm kind of glad I'm missing out on this gen desu.
>>339661965
Really bad. I basically never play them. I'm thinking I should probably give something a try, though. I am interested in it, it's just the huge learning curve.
very bad but starting to learn, currently playing Street fighter alpha 3 max and killer instinct (xbone) they are actually fun.
All i do is play fighting games.
I posted my thing a long time ago you post this so much.
All i'm gonna say this time is that it's fun watching /v/ admit in these kind of threads that they're shit at this, yet they talk like they know shit in another fighting thread.
>>339661965
Better than average but thats not saying much
>>339662648
Ever thought that it might be different people doing these things?
>>339661965
Depends on the game. Skullgirls and SFV, I'm better than most people IRL and like 60% of online. Anime fighters I'm garbage at.
>>339663087
Considering that i catch people from these kinds of threads on /fgg/ or a /v/ fighter thread, no.
I would beat up anyone on /v/
They based Sadclaps after me.
that's how good I was.
Eh. Better than your average person who doesn't play fighting games much, but otherwise, I'm not so great. I know the theory better than I can put it into pratice, usually.
>>339663332
not me
>>339661965
If it's Fighter's Destiny then I'm pretty damn good.
Otherwise I'm pretty bad.
Does anyone knows how to fix SF5 lag problem. I'm with 2 friends here and all of us have 5 bars connection, but for some reaosn i can play one of my friends just fine and the other one not.
We switched hosts numerous times AND we even created 2 players lobbies to see who is having trouble. I can't figure out what the fuck is going on.
>>339663332
I'm not /v/ so I guess you're right.
Back to playing for me, thought i'd get more laughs from this thread.
>>339663582
I don't play trash games like mk so I guess you might beat me in that
>>339663817
Are you on PC? The friend you can't play with might have a shitty PC then.
I'm going to start heading to weeklies and majors, I'm waiting for KOF XIV to drop though
>>339664115
yes but the other one also ahs a pc and we played just fine
>>339661965
Trash and will SFV not updating until end of june I might not even contuine to play it. Waste of fucking money not even trying to shit post but I am thoroughly upset by these fucks. I trust capcom one time and get fucked in the ass I should of listened.
>>339664114
>I would beat up anyone on /v/
>says that
Damn dude. I guess i am the only one who plays them all. Good thing i'll never allow myself to become a part of /v/. /v/ is just shitters, same with gamefaqs, same with smashboards.
Socal best region.
>>339661965
I got a pretty killer Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat X, so there's that.
Good enough to beat okay players. Not good enough to beat better players than that. I feel stuck.
>>339663550
so you are garbage at the game and you spout your opinion too much?
>>339661965
I thought I was good because I almost never list an sf2 match against everybody I ever played.
Then I played a black dude and got fucking murdered so idk.
>>339664514
u shouldnt be proud of playing mortal kombat
>>339664114
nice joke
>>339664540
im good with sonya blade
>>339661965
ITT: fags who only play against CPU and never actually murked niggas at an Arcade
>>339664604
way because you dont like it
>>339664769
But I actually have, socal still has arcades today.
>>339664604
u shouldn't be proud of being a shitposter.
I'm ok but all I do is netplay
I'm not that good at fighters natually but I want to get better and its keeping me up at night. I don't have as much fun with fighters like I used to though.
>>339661965
Pretty bad.
>>339664586
I don't spout my opinion at all, I simply know all the common terminology, mechanics and tactics. I don't like bothering with people online all that much though and I don't have anyone irl who's willing to play them with me much, so I never get to learn how to put it all into practice properly
I wouldn't say I'm great, but i'm competent. Like maybe a 6/10 at Revelator. I really want to break into Top 8's at majors this year
>>339665771
Either you're really humble or an idiot. No 6/10 player is going to top 8 a major
>>339661965
Terrible.
I can't make my hands do the combos of anie fighters, and im not smart enough to make good decisions in street fighter.
>>339665982
Not to say Americans are bad, but I actually believe most top 8 placements are 7/10 players. Only people like LostSoul and Zidane are players i'd call 8/10's
I could be wrong but that's how I see it
I was somewhat good at SF4, being the only fighting game I liked.
I'm so bad, but I've loved the animation, music, aesthetic of most fighters since I was a wee lad.
Been playing DoA 2 recently, shit is amazing.
God awful. The majority of my friends play at high level mainly from just being naturally skilled or got good along time ago (I even have one friend who used to do locals and get decent placings).
I'm constantly trying to better myself but I never make any progress, and the worst part of it is my one friend who only plays low-tier meme characters and absolutely destroys me.
I'm below average at SFV
I was ok at MKX but I think that the game was just easier (also Kung Jin 34% combos lmao)
I would play Xrd but it's basically dead on PC and Revelator is out soon so Xrd is outdated
>>339666859
i will get SFV soon
>>339666414
If lost soul is an 8, then you must be pretty damn good. He's the best Elphelt in the world, even Japan admits it.
>>339661965
Confidently good. I can say that I am very good at set ups and screwing up players with mind games and mix ups... but I really really suck at reads. Give me Geese howard and eventhough I really really like to use his counters however I am still unable to use it effectively as it supposed to be used.
Is KoF14 coming to PC?
>>339667257
Nah.
Any gold and above SF players that hate getting into shit like frame data and terminology here? I know I'm not the only one.
>>339667257
Eventually
>>339667257
Not at the moment, but probably a bit after the ps4 release comes out.
>>339666445
kek
I had a B rank Ryu, Cody, Sakura, and Guy in USF4, Cody being my main towards the end. I wasn't amazing but I could hold my own against nearly everyone I had to play, aside from the odd A+ Blanka or whatever like that, where it's just odds that you're going to get wrecked before you know what's happening.
I couldn't really get into SFV. I couldn't settle on a character I liked, so I ended up just sitting at ultra bronze/silver and learning a new character every couple weeks. Haven't played since Guile came out because my GPU died.
I tried to get into GG/BB but I was having all sorts of problems finding matches and I'm terrible at learning anime combos.
I guess I'm average? I wouldn't say I'm good, I just know what I'm doing at least.
>>339667532
Super Gold player here. I know some of the terminology, but I have never read a single piece of frame data. It's not even necessary. You just learn eventually which attacks are safe in what situation.
>>339667532
It's really helpful to know how fast moves are though. There's a world of difference between a 3 and 4 frame normal.
>>339667532
You aren't the only one, but it's good to know. I just don't like posting about it in every thread like others do.
>>339667708
I'm going to refrain from asking your name but everything you said fits the description of my friend on steam to a tee.
I'm pretty decent though since i have no way to get to my scene (Being too far from me) i usually have to rely on Netplay and even then i can't really fight good people due to me living in AZ and a good amount of the better GG and BB players are from east cost and i can't get fights with said people due to being in west coast (Connection and all) then then you have People like SKD who said that netplay can and will never help anyone improve
>>339668035
I don't have any steam friends, so it's not me
Interesting though
>>339667102
Who said he was the best in the world? All I know is that he lost hard against Dogura and then went on to lose multiple ft5 money matches in a row. I'm not saying he's bad, but he can really only keep up with Japan's second string currently. Every player in America is trying to get stronger to catch Japan right now, I don't think any of us are at their level currently
>>339661965
I'm shit at Tekken but I still enjoy trying out new moves and learning techniques. I get destroyed online but that's a given and expected as one learns. That feeling of successfully pulling off new moves and combos 100% of the time after spending the time to practice them is pretty satisfying.
a few years back on i was top 100 for King in tekken 6, and top 1000 for yoshimitsu.
>>339667532
>Read frame data
>know whats punishable and study it
>get no results
>dream of getting gold
>people have gold without doing any of that
Am I wasting my time? Trying to learn a fighter is impossible. I could have learned how to code in like 5 different programming languages and learned how to draw in the amount of time I sank. I think I just don't get fighters.
>>339661965
Okay. I got out of pools once.
>>339668624
I'm not really sure. I just don't jump too much and get some solid results.
>>339668624
I know that feel lad I do that same shit have over 250 hours into SFV and still can't hit ultra bronze. How bad I am combined with SFV delays and no characters clicking with me makes me regret buying it
>>339662329
I feel ya mon!
>>339668624
in addition to all of that you should analyze (or atleast attempt to) what you're doing in matches whats getting you wins whats getting you blown up if you can't do in the match always check your replays
>people have gold without doing any of that
Something come easier or quicker to some. don't always compare yourself to others
Terrible. I'm better than my casual friends in most fighters, but I don't have a scene out here, so practicing against opponents is a major bitch.
I never make it into proper tournaments past my first few matches.
>>339667532
If you want to get good at the game, you'll have to learn frame data. Simple as that.
I'm a Tekken player, so learning frame data for a million moves is basically hardwired into me.
>>339668960
>in addition to all of that you should analyze (or atleast attempt to) what you're doing in matches whats getting you wins whats getting you blown up if you can't do in the match always check your replays
Dropping combos and AA. I play karin though its either I get gook execution or pick a less execution heavy character. And AAing with karin is painful without EX meter.
>Something come easier or quicker to some. don't always compare yourself to others
Its hard to in a 1v1 game. But I honestly should.
>>339663332
post cfn
>>339661965
I'm shit at it. I can't even reliably do dragon punch three times in a row and not fast enough to do basic combo (like Karin's cr.mk > tenko).
>>339669280
Actually, no you won't. It's just good to know.

In SF5? No, it's essential. SF5 is a pressure-heavy game. It's imperative that you know exactly when you can hit buttons and which buttons you can hit to punish your opponent.
Sure, you can just experiment, but that's basically the same shit as learning frame data. You're just taking the long route.
I'm so good at fighting games, that no matter which game it is, I'll always have a win rate around10%!I'm not sure why I keep buying them.

>>339669304
Have you tried to practice your AA's and combos in the Lab(training mode)?
Yeah, fucked up the phrasing on that bit. I meant to say its good to have scale to see if you improved but don't do it constantly. I've seen people do that and it fucks up their confidence
>>339669765
gitting gud is about playing to learn and not playing to win
>>339669745
>It's imperative that you know exactly when you can hit buttons and which buttons you can hit to punish your opponent.
People are capable of doing this without looking up frame data
>>339661965
Understand the concepts / mechanics, but lack the 5+ years experience to play at any meaningful level.
>>339669849
I have its just pressing a button or QCB+PP the timing for some characters throws me off. Her AA normals are easily stuffed and jab AA is finicky as fuck unless you are gief or sim.
>>339669878
yeah, though i thought like people learned frame data for stuffing out normals or something
>>339669878
Sure, but what's the point? You may as well make it easier on yourself and look it up - especially when it comes to more complicated instances like counter-hit combos and meaty combos.
how the hell do i beat chunli in sfv? shes so fucking strong, and i can never jump in against her at all, that anti air is crazy good. and those fuckign air kicks.
she is pretty op
>>339670148
The point is that you don't have to look up frame data to be good.

The alternative is hours of experimentation in the lab when you could just look it up in two minutes.

>>339670773
Well, I don't play Birdie, but shouldn't you be able to use his vertikal command grab to punish her instant air legs?
Apart from that, try to dominate the space around you by throwing cans, banana peels and all that stuff. She'll probably jump in once she gets frustrated, which you can punish. Don't try to jump in yourself and use his Ex dash attack as a reversal (it eats two attacks, I think).
>>339670545
lol, you don't win
that match up is fucked
>>339671045
Learning punishes, frame traps, etc. through experimentation is still effectively the same thing as learning frame data. It's just inefficient.
>>339671565
But not impossible as you originally implied.
>play sf4 for about 100 hours on steam
>still lose 9/10 matches i play online
I don't understand how anyone get enjoy fighting games online. Most of the community will ALWAYS be better than you.
Also I realize 100 hours is nothing compared to dedicated players, but wouldn't you think by that time I'd get better? I even have a fight stick.
>>339671806
Hours put into a fighter means NOTHING
I played sf4 for about 3-4k hours and I was still sup 2kpp. You either have a good scene or it comes naturally thats it.
>>339671806
>I don't understand how anyone get enjoy fighting games online. Most of the community will ALWAYS be better than you.
The joy is in losing and learning from your failures my dear. A mere 100 hours is nothing.
>>339671806
Bro, I only stopped mashing 200 hours into the game. At 500 hours I finally started looking at other characters that weren't Ryu.
Using a stick won't make you better, quite the opposite actually if you're not used to it. The stick might gimp your play. Try switching it for a good pad.
>>339671806
I only started playing like last year but I hit gold in SF5. Execution varies between people, obviously.
>>339672206
Don't listen to this retard. Stick is superior for SF, period. Should only take a week to get used to a new one, too.
>>339672096
same goes for most things really.
>>339672356
A pad player won the last Evo. It literally comes down to preference.
All I'm saying is: Try it for a couple of hours and see how you perform in comparison.
>>339672356
>stick purists
Holy shit, those still exist?
Pretty bad. most of my strategy is jump in > maybe hit air move > light punch > pray I did the special input correctly > block until I can try again
it rarely goes well after step 1

then l lost all my points and ended around 700pps in Ultra
l'm quite shit
>>339673146
At least you can play MvC
I seriously don't understand how people deal with so many inputs, and across 3 characters. I'll be sticking to SF forever.
>>339661965
>being bad when Skullgirls' in-game is a thing
I placed in top 8 at locals in UNIEL, HF, SC2 and MB.
>>339664604
You shouldn't be proud to be a shitposting retard / that you're better than players on /v/.
>I'm better at *my* fighting games of choice on a board where people barely play fighting games
What tourney have you won recently?
One thing I never understood is how /v/ likes to shit on new games because these games are ass, but when it comes to fighters, this board dickrides SF4 and 5.
>>339674435
what
I would say i'm almost intermediate level. My biggest problem is i can't combo for shit. I'm good at decision making and reads and shit like that, but not good combos because my hand coordination isn't that precise at all.
So I gotta use gimmicks to win most of the time. Depending on the game, my gimmicks usually end up with me never wanting a rematch someone, especially if I win.
>>339669464
invite me, cfn memememe
>>339671661
Exactly, perfect example:
I used to instinctively mash lk on wakeup with Vega unless I felt I would get grabbed because I felt like it'd stop most normals
>Look up frame data and found out it has a 3f startup
Then I just understood it more and knew it was also really good normal for other situations. Mostly if you just know your mains frame data you'd probably be able to get by on that + experimenting and that's about as much effort as reading a fucking food menu.
>>339662176
Same anon same.
I'm a Silver Ken/Chun-Li player in SFV. I'm at that place where I can kick all of my friends' asses left and right, even when picking random, but I have little ACTUAL success online. I'm really trying to get into the game though.
>>339672356
You're mentally retarded. If you already execute what you need to 100% of the time stick doesn't matter whatsoever. Half of the preference also comes from the fact people played in arcades in their fighting scene where you had to use stick anyways. If you're a shit player who mashes DPs and falls for repeat grabs and wake-up shoryukens then a fightstick won't do shit for you.
Among my group of friends I think I'm pretty good. We're all pretty into it and always trying to learn more and get better. My best friend and I are the best in the group, it's usually a 50/50 win ratio when we're playing lots of matches. He plays in local tournaments sometimes and usually gets about halfway up the ladder before elimination. During SF4 I never had internet and still was beating them when I only got to play it on the weekends. Now with SF5 I don't pay for PS+ so can't play it online, same situation. I think I've just gotten really good at playing against my friends. I've known them a long time and I know how they think when they're playing the game, it's really easy to predict what they're going to do next. Match me up with people I've never played against before and I'd probably get shit on.
>>339667532
I learn by playing not looking at data. Eventually what's punishable gets ingrained through trial and error and an hour or so of lab work. I'm not knocking people who dedicate time to it though, it's just a style of learning and that's what fighters are all about anyway.
As for terminology I know most of it, but I still say the basic phrases just so there's less confusion, but some get very pissy if you don't use numbers and shit all the time. I personally think that a lot of casuals understand more than what the average fighting fan think. They know that cross ups, mix ups, vortexes and such are a thing, they just don't know the terminalogy for it so they get confused when you throw those words out.
I am desperate to be good at fighting games, but I never really enjoy playing SF which is the only truly active game.
I also don't have time to learn shit that's really execution heavy like KOF and Tekken.
I really enjoyed playing SCV, but that series is dead and never coming back.
>>339661965
I'm pretty good. I play fightcade all the time. Still don't have a fightstick though. Maybe will get one when MvC2 is on fightcade
Anyone remember "rival schools united by fate"? I still play that shit to this day.
>>339666445
>Taunting
You're a trash.
I am reaching for Gold in SFV. Currently Ultra Silver. This game is much easier to learn and study than SF4. Fuck I hated Ultras and focus attacks.
The NPCs can beat me on easy.
>>339662176
>Super Turbo on an emulator, and get my ass kicked by the CPU
There's a reason for this that's because any version of Super Turbo that isn't Japan version actually reads your inputs.
>>339661965
intermediate, meaning I am good enough to have fun with the game. I can pull of most things, but I struggle with a few links here and there.
I need to learn to be more aggressive instead of being completely reactionary most of the time,

>>339668624
Don't bother studying frame data until you actually have the basic fundamentals down. All that frame data won't mean shit otherwise. Most of the time you'll get a good rough estimate on what moves are safe and unsafe anyway from just playing normally and learning from mistakes.
Fundamentals you probably really need to learn is to:
a) Learn to block
b) Learn the normals of the character you are playing as
I'm willing to wager that 90% of the problem of people learning to play fighters ignore these key two factors.
>>339685279
>I'm willing to wager that 90% of the problem of people learning to play fighters ignore these key two factors.
Its not only that. I can CH confirm pretty well from my footsie game and can block great I know the ranges and can counter poke well, hell v-reversals makes blocking that much easier since you can reset the situation and shave off some stun.
Those 2 factors help out rookies though I will say that.
Depends on the game.
I'm GARBAGE at SFV
On the other hand, I could beat anyone in this thread at Soulcalibur 5
does guile have a 3f jab
>>339661965
I'm shit at them. I also don't like the way they feel.
So bad. Literally the genre I'm the worst at. I have no competitive edge, but I'm enamored with the idea of fighting games. I like one on one combat, I like the variety of characters and fighting styles, I like the unique special moves, I like hidden characters and boss characters...but I don't care enough about being good to enjoy them because the games are made solely as a vehicle to git gud and show off.
>>339662407
God do I know this feel. Cant people be dissapointed with the way capcom has handled SFV but still love the game and enjoy playing it?
The FGC these days is going full aspie along with the wider gaming community and im sick to my stomach of everyone being a miserable fuck.
>>339685850
Yeah I feel you but shit is becoming more and more toxic.
My ouroboros game is so unorthodox I've been able to sweep most if not all people I have ever played against.
>>339661965
In Tekken i'm good with only highly accessible characters like Bryan or Hwoarang. Even Paul's controls are disaster for me. Don't know if it counts as "bad" though.
