I wish I had friends to play fightan with.

The only fightan game I've been playing recently is Smash 4 and I'm horrible at it.

Are you cute? We can play Smash 4 and be terrible together.

>>323882793
I tried to get into fighting games but I just don't get it. They seem so cool and fun and I wanna play them.

But then you have to do all these weird combinations for moves- something about it just makes no sense to me. Why would I step back twice just to fire a projectile? Why dont I just have a button to fire the projectile? Then I can fire it without seizuring back twice. An thats just an incredible simple example.

Is there some reason that the system isn't updated or given macros of some sort that you can customize? What if someone figured out how to use a keyboard to just press for all the moves they wanted? Would fighting fags get super assmad over it- and why?

>>323882316
this is why I stopped playing Depth
Kept getting put against multiple people who had 3k hours in the game and were max level while me and my team had like 2-10 hours played and would get absolutely destroyed regardless of what we did

>>323883127
Grrrl or gay/bi dude?

>>323880356
Thata literally the reason og why i stop playing skullgirls.

>>323883276
The latter.

>>323883271
inputs are used to balance moves. if you could do a fireball with one button some characters would be broken like
guile. just look at the 3ds version of sf4

>>323883395
That's cool, I'm bisexual myself.

The input is to delay moves for combos since every tiny frame matters. Part of the skill is being able to combo successfully while doing so in a rapid and concise fashion. Depending on the game, mechanics may rely on your input for certain things, such as option selects (letting the game decide the best action in a situation where you put in a command where two moves are possible) You also have to consider your opponent is doing the same things and see if you're able to react and play faster than him. Once you get to a skilled enough level, it turns second hand nature and you don't even think about it. And lastly, it's bit of a legacy system. Many people already gotten used to it and enjoy it more because well it's just fun doing a bunch of movement to do a combo.

And there is macros that instantly do attacks. Hell, P4A has auto-combo button available, where it uses a decent but not optimal combo if you just spam light attack button. But good players don't really use that (unless it's original P4A and you're using Mitsuru because she was pretty broken if I recall) And players who use them are just like the rest, they don't do much better unless they're playing against raw beginners. Because chances are, if you have to rely on using those buttons, you're not very good.

You my friend should play tekken

>>323881594

I'll say that a lot to people on the other team that feel their skill warranted them a win. Except I tell them it's a shitty game. I keep hoping that it'll comfort them but they assume I'm undermining them.

>>323883476
Tatsunoko Vs Capcom had a simple mode that made it play kind of like smash, b button was mapped to command moves that changed with direction. I remember lots of online Tekkamans scrubbing out wins with instant sonic boom lances they had no business winning.

>>323883476

It get pretty fast paced when youre playing but for the most part combos make sense each button controls a limb and and that limb moves when you hit the button

>>323886556
do you play terran?

>>323885746

No problem, I like helping new players.

Just practice and learn your moves and eventually everything becomes second nature.

The great thing about fighting games, is that often once you understand the fundamentals and general fighting game strategy, you can play most fighting games at a okay level right fairly quickly. You'll still have to learn new combos, learn the different mechanics, and get a "feel" for the game, but you'll understand the basics and what characters in game X is similar to the characters in game Y.

>>323886641
Terran or sometimes protoss.

This is me with trying to PvP in Darksouls.

I play the way I find most enjoyable, unfortunately, it's not the best way to kill other players with.

Not terrible at the game, just suck balls against the hardcore PvP players and makes me want stay Hollow forever.

>>323886794
I can't remember exactly what I did, but I know I had different strategies for different opponents. I just got stressed in a 1v1 game and did everything poorly.

Three horrid hours of back and forth attrition and shit flinging. It only ended because the game ran into the wee hours of the morning, and the losing team just got tired of wasting their time. They were the smart ones, come to think of it.

It stopped being fun about and hour and a half in.

I really wish fighting games were more popular (besides MK and other western trash). My friends who think fighting games are just about mashing buttons never want to play with me because I actually know what I'm doing.
