>Would you rather play something that can occasionally be good but end up mostly being shit
>Or play a game that is designed to be good all the way through
Really makes you think.

but games like subnautica and Mount & blade can be very entertaining, with people putting hudnreds of hours in them. That's oversimplifying things.

yeah

Losing interest in the things you enjoy is a symptom of depression. Hopefully that isn't the case and you're just feeling a little burned out.

The DLC with the legendary enemies is fucking garbage.

Knowing when to cut your losses and run away/let a mission go is part of learning to play the game. Game gets a lot easier as you level up and get your OP equipment and abilities.

That's XCOM baby!

It won't take months, maybe a few days. If you want to beat your opponent in early levels just watch what they do and wait for them to fuck up, then go in and attack. It's all reflexes and memorization. If you can't handle their attacks, go into practice mode and use the record function to do what they're doing and then practice blocking against it. You could also watch better players and copy what they do but it won't do much if you don't understand.

The only reason you stick to a fighting game is because you enjoy playing it, regardless if you're losing or not. If just playing the game isn't fun then you should move on. However, I personally don't enjoy SFV so maybe trying a different game would get you into the genre.

>You guys really have hundreds of hours playing? Thousands?
Somewhere around 200, personally.
>Is all that time worth it?
I think it is. The games are fun, winning's really fun, and the skills at least transfer to other fighting games pretty well.
>will I ever be considered a challenge
Depends entirely on how creative and skilled you get. You can catch up reasonably well, but you'll obviously never be at the level of the guys who play the game literally 8+ hours every day for years, unless you do the same, but that's the same with every game. You can be a reasonable hobbyist and still get to a relatively high level.
>Lose so fast and hard you may not learn anything
It happens. Try to find people slightly above your skill level if you can, or hope matchamaking finds your level and puts you there relatively soon.
>This is a very unusual genre.
Yea. I consider it something like a blend of the skillsets you need for doingwell in both ARTS games and shooters at the high level at the same time to play at even a decent level. The harder it is, the most rewarding it is to win, though.
>Any other tips
Just play. Don't go more than a week without playing, a few days if you can help it.

Your friend means well but is a terrible teacher.

First of all, "stretchy guy" is an extremely technical character. He requires the most knowledge and understanding to perform at even a passable level.

If you're so new to fighting games that the last one you played is clay fighter play fucking Ryu, He's vanilla for a goddamned reason.

He's telling you to jump into the deep end of an olympic swimming pool when you don't know how to doggie paddle.

People will have a hard time empathizing because they (and I) have spent a quarter of a lifetime playing these games and don't remember having no idea what was going on.

Here's what you need to do:
1) Play Ryu until you know the fundamentals enough to pick a character you like
2) learn - pokes (long range grounded attacks), anti-airs (attacks that will beat someone jumping at you and stop them from doing that), and specials (fireballs, uppercuts, supers) - in that order
3) play your friend and try to focus not on yourself but on him - watch what he's doing, how he approaches, how he initiates, how he defends, and try to figure out how to counter what he likes to do

Also, always keep in mind the "rock paper scissors" element of fighting games. Grabs beat blocks, blocks beat attacks, attacks beat grabs.

btw SF4 is a way better game to start from scratch on than SFV

Don't get me wrong, every single one of the top 5 games there is an unwatchable pile of shit, but still.

Probably the simple fact that we never had Banjo Kazooie and I didn't know it existed.
