why does no one play fighting games?

Because they're full of shitty day one DLC and if you want to play it, your options are to either wait months for the complete edition with all the DLC included but have your ass wrecked by people on multiplayer who have been playing for months straight or buy right away and pay out the cock for the dlc.

they're boring

It's a huge time investment to get good at them and they're genuinely difficult.

Retards with non-arguments will now quote some part of this post followed with reaction images.

Fighting games aren't fun single player. If you don't have friends to play against then you're forced to play against CPU or multiplayer. Multiplayer requires practice or you just get destroyed.

I have nobody to play them with locally, my Internet is third-world-tier, and even if it wasn't I imagine I'd run into triple-S hardcore players as all my opponents and get curbstomped over and over without being able to figure out what I need to do to improve just because the skill gap is so great.
That, and the Soku community died before I started playing Touhou so the fighting game I'd be most interested can't really be played, though it's probably for the best because I hear that community had a lot of people actually from the third world so putting my shitty Internet with their shitty Internet would likely be a bad idea.

Fightan isn't fun online, and the modern convenience of the internet makes getting together to play relatively hassleful

The reason they're not popular is because they're 1v1, skill-based competitive games.
Because they're skill-based, you have to actually be better than your opponent to win.
Because they're 1v1, you don't have teammates to pass of the blame to.

You're solely responsible for your losses, and that's something people do not like.

Some unfun shitter meta always comes along and absolutely kills the game for anyone who isn't a try hard. Also few fighting games have a good story mode.

Any other reason is wrong, it's because it has an incredibly high barrier to entry. You have to learn so many skills specific to the genre that you don't learn or use in any other games. It's zero fun until you've crossed this barrier, which will likely take you months at a minimum. Smash bros is so popular because the barrier to entry is so low. You don't have to learn combos or any of that nonsense. Anyone can come in and push random buttons and have a good time.

They take time to learn and potential players might be too intimidated to begin learning them if it's too long after the initial release as they'd be so far behind everyone else.

>>377380823
Fighting games are inherently flawed. To have fun with them, you have to be so good at it that you curbstomb everyone but 1% of the player base, then purposefully seek out that 1% at tournaments. If you're not a top level players, you're one of the scrubs getting shit on and there's no fun in that.

>>377380823
Toxic community.

Extremely technical/memory/reflex based gameplay.

They have no single player value whatsoever, and to play multiplayer requires a lot of investment and the payoff is having to deal with meta cancer, rank autists, rage quitters and other fun sapping things. They are also exclusively competitive games where everyone isn't on leveled playing field when it comes to hardware.

Basically they are only fun if you have friends to play with.

Fighting games are literally designed to sell fightsticks dumbass. Playing with a controller is yet another mountain to climb and in some games there are things you can do with the stick that you simply can't with a controller. The fact that fightan fags are so delusional about this will forever be hilarious to me.

Also i bet if you took a survey of what kind of people go through controllers like toilet paper the ones that regularly play fighting games with them would be at the top.

>>377385446
>two of the best sfv players in the world right now are pad players
rmyt

Same reason as RTS. High pressure 1 on 1 fights (no diffusing blame for losses) with a sky-high skill ceiling, a lot of non-intuitive strategies and mechanics the game does a horrible job at teaching you (and typically teaches straight up bad habits in single-player content) and a shitload of experienced veterans in the queue who will utterly destroy you so quickly and efficiently you have no chance of actually learning anything from the loss and improving yourself. People lose hope in getting good and quit.

>fightsticks make players better
You either prefer sticks or not, this is the equivalent of thinking you're going to be better at a game just because you bought a 'gaming' mouse over a regular ass mouse

>>377380823
It's a genre that doesn't offer instant gratification to the player. It usually requires the player to understand how the mechanics of the game works and how it applies to a character they decide to play. With it being skill-based and one-on-one, everything including victory is left up to the player and they can't be carried by a teammate or place blame on a teammate when they lose. Outside of that, the grind to getting good demotivates people as well. For new players, it takes a lot of losses for them to begin winning, but those defeats stop them from wanting to continue before reaching that threshold. For the most part, some people aren't competitive, and that's fine.

That being said. I enjoy fighting games a lot.

>>377380823
What do you mean "no one"? There are tournaments with money prizes all the time and huge amounts of people are playing them.
Street Fighter 5 and Injustice 2 are great examples of just how popular these games are. Maybe not ASSFAGGOTS popular, but you don't need a team to be able to compete for esports bux.

Obviously everyone here is an idiot. The real reason is that its one on one, you have no one to blame but yourself for the loss, and practice/skill wins you matches.

Dragon Install speeds up all of Sol's attacks, and he's using 5K, a 3-frame normal into something less than 3-frames, idk. What I think is happening is since 5K is jump cancelable, before the jumping animation, he cuts it off with FD. Then rinse and repeat.

Because Fighting Games have two huge barriers, the execution barrier and the knowledge barrier, which are infuriating because they're simultaneously mandatory and irrelevant. What I mean by that is that it takes a long time to be able to reliably execute everything in the game , and it takes a long time to learn everything in the game, but standard play assumes you already have these two qualities and actual gameplay and competition is more around reading your opponent, strategy, etc. Nobody is losing at mid-high level play because they didn't know what something did or they didn't get the right move they wanted to come out with a botched input.

People aren't willing to invest that kind of time, and then find out that they were two giant entry barriers before the game proper even begins and that there's huge skill variance beyond them.

Because shitters don't have the correct mindset for improvement. People think that the only way to git gud is to play a lot, while the actual way to victory is paved by analyzing your gameplay in order to see how you lost. Shitters lose because they do random things without any real purpose behind them, and get fucked for it. Shitters lose because they don't see nor even look for mistakes their opponent makes that they can recognize and capitalize on.
What they do instead is press random attacks because that's their idea of offence, press random attacks when their opponent gets close because that's their idea of defence, press random attacks when their opponent is at range because that's their idea of spacing, and thus lose the round/game and complain that they didn't learn anything. You didn't learn anything because you didn't try to teach yourself anything nor did you try to learn from your opponent, you just tried to throw attacks out there and see if something worked.

The first step to actually gitting gud is to learn to reognize guaranteed scenarios. Learn to see when your opponent jumps at you, because that is guaranteed antiair damage. Learn to see when your opponent uses something obviously unsafe, because that is guaranteed punish damage. Learn to not commit the same mistakes, because that is opening yourself up to guaranteed damage. Instead of focusing on attacks that may or may not work, focus first on reducing the amount of randomness and uncertainty, and you will notice that your game will improve drastically. Some matches will be over before they started because your opponent keeps presenting you easy scenarios like constantly jumping or using unsafe attacks randomly, hoping something works. You know that this is easy to beat, because this is what you did when you were losing every game.

The definitive answer comes down to one thing:

>People hate losing

Losing in an online game, like CS:GO, or a MOBA isn't as bad, as it's a team effort.

Losing in a Fighting Game is literally 100% on you. You lost. You got beat. It's all your fault.

This combined with the trash talking aspect of the community, makes it really shitty to play. It makes it hard for newcomers to get into, and the old boys are getting less and less invested since you need to dump hundreds of hours to get good at them.

There are other problems, character balance, DLC, but it's mostly

>>377388106
it really is. i got into a local fgc and i had to endure a lot of alienation for awhile because i was the new guy.
its hard to bring new people in. example would be fighting game tournaments on stream with commentary. they spout so much jargon that it will all goes right over your head. and they LOVE to talk about the players like its some fantasy football shit.

theres seriously no shortcuts or easy ways to slide right in. its either you love the games or you dont touch them.

>>377388045
you can lose team based games until the end of time and blame your team every time
if you keep losing 1v1s, eventually you are forced to accept your own ability

>>377380823
Because to fight is to know ones self and a lot of people aren't ready for that level of introspection.

>>377387267
I have a feeling that a lot of people are fucking casuals and get distracted by all the other genres. Another serious reason is that not a lot of actually smart people are interested in fighting games. There has to be a reason why this genre is so densely populated by niggers. I'm considering swapping to fighting games because other genres like RTS are dead and the competition is so light.

i'm going to go out on a limb here and say that they gain satisfaction from outwitting another person, the game itself isn't the fun part.

Right, but asians don't participate in that many US/NA tournaments. I don't think there is a single other vidya genre where niggers are able to be competitive.
The genre is literally filled with human trash like stoners and lazy people so when asians that acually practice and take it seriously just come and sweep the competition away.
I wish I started SF5 when it came out instead of sperging out on SC2, but I think I'll try testing my theory anyway.

>>377388867
i agree with you on those OG tryhards. they really like to be on that highhorse because they played a niche genre a lot longer.

self-important twats. a lot of over inflated egos and narcissism in fgc.its ridiculous

I watched a lot of match videos, and when I finally got the game myself, I loved every second of finding out how my character plays. Then, the first time I played a live opponent, I got happy from just trying to (poorly) imitate the top player I always enjoyed watching.

They are playing other genres that appeal to them. Hope it isn't that hard for you to understand. If niggers/fats/stoners are able to compete in a game it means the competition is that thin. Fighting is literally the only competitive genre where this happens.

>>377380823
I think games that have a lot of subsystems might just be overwhelming for some people.

I also find it amusing that a lot of people ask for fighting games to be easier when this is the most forgiving they've ever been.

Guilty Gear Xrd Rev has a FAQ in it's pause menu that helps with people familiarizing themselves with the game quicker. Skullgirl's has 360 input detection so your character wont accidentally jump doing 360s. SF even has motion shortcuts (down forward, down forward DP).

At this point people have to admit that fighting games really arent for all people and the people that ask fighting games to be easier need to realize that developers have tried to appeal to them in almost every way possible. Don't even get me started on people starting to grasp concepts like the importance of buttons,spacing and fundamentals.

The problem is that fighting games attract a lot of plebs which is understandable because out of all the competitive game genres fighting games have the most spectacle. People see fighting games and they go, "Yeah I want to do this". It's a genre that's immediately exciting, there's no downtime, and it encourages crowd to become energized.

The masses are also huge casuals that don't want to take the time to learn how to get good at the game so they complain when they can't immediately cancel a 13-hit combo into a super or pull a Daigo parry and feel like a badass. They want the instant gratification that has lead to dumbed down game mechanics in the majority of mainstream video games nowadays and no amount of tutorials or handholding from the devs is going to change that.

It's also why Smash is so damn popular because that's the only level of complexity they can tolerate when it comes to actually playing the game.

besides that I find it pretty amusing that it's not only just casuals who complain about fighting games but hardcore videogame players too. I see Dark Souls players pretending they're hot shit for playing the game and how they're so great for playing "difficult games" but they'll bitch about how fighting games are so hard and "tedious". It's ridiculous.

But I do, it's why I still play vidya, if the genre died, I'd go with it and move on to something else. Bing bing wahoo Nintendo stuff is fun at times, but lately the only fun I'm having is with some good ol fighters.

So how I get better at fighting games ? i love to played them but I can't get good...

>>377380823
huge monetary investment compared to something like a moba or cs:go any of those mainstream games. you also need to leave your house which is undesirable in the current year.

I still play them. Mostly Guilty Gear and SFV at the moment. Rev 2 coming out in a week should be nice. I don't think it's really as hard as people say it is, just there is a entry gap that you just gotta grind out, and then you'll "get" it and can understand how to improve etc.

Find a friend on a similar skill level, play with him a lot, watch match videos and try to steal tech. Newer games are generally easier to learn because of combo trials and more HD footage/commentary.

>>377395441
Learn basic mechanics to fighters, like meaties, reversals, ext, and how they are applied.
Don't be afraid to ask questions.
Expect to lose frequently to better players online, but observe your common mistakes, and figure out how to fix them.
Check out high level play of characters you play, and don't focus on combos and set ups, but just simple things, like how they approach the neutral game.
Find people around your skill level every so often and continue practicing with them.

From a thread up right now.

This is exactly why. People may like the concept of fighting games and like the characters and stuff, but a lot of them just don't want to learn. They start the game, obviously lose and are like "fuck this".

Fighting games take effort and time to get good at, as well as accepting the fact you will lose at the start. Most people are not ok with this.

I play smash all the time with my friends. Have done so for years.

>>377396328
that's not a fighting game though.

Nice no uppity niggers on adderal.

>>377380823
People are scared of a skill barrier that hardly exists. They're either too impatient to learn the fundamentals, (which is more practice than know how,) or they think they need to be good enough to consistently beat people to have fun.

I don't know why people play competitive games if they can't take losing though. You don't get much better against worse opponents.

It's is correct as it is a contraction of "it is"

Because they have little content for someone who doesn't care about multiplayer.

Takes maybe 10 hours to unlock everything. Why would I spend $60 for 10 hours of entertainment when I could buy an RPG and get 50+ hours?

>>377399686
Well they are not single player games.

>>377399686
10 hours? fighting games are meant to be played for hundreds

(beats the shit out of u)
what did you just say about me? oh wait, you can't talk anymore because you're all fucked up.

I stopped playing fightan because i dont want to play SFV, no one wants to play KOF14 with me, and I moved away from my IRL fightan friends.

>>377380823
several reasons
-I have a shitty connexion, I will teleport everywhere
-too much dlcs
-game dies after one year or so
-I'm shit à them

its fucking expensive, i wanted i really wanted, but fuck off, my pc cant run street fighter v

>>377380823
>Always release late on PC
>Most pros already playing on Console since it released earlier
>Not including crossplay, alienating from pro community
>Game doesn't sell well because lack of community

Why?
They are too competitive for me, i like to have some fun with people but most of the players go turbo autism tryhard mode and make game unenjoyable in any way.

>>377399686
Blazblue and guilty gear have way more than 10 hours of single player content.

And why would you even play a fighting game when you don't care about multiplayer

>>377380823
I once fought this faggot named dougfunky or some shit, and I teabagged him one fucking time and he lost his shit and perfected me while taunting back. If someone is going to get that assblasted over fighting games then the genre is just not for me, it wasn't very fun and I would hate to become some bitter asshole like that guy

>>377408280
>trying to win means you are assblasted
>it wasn't very fun
then don't be shit

>>377408280
>win a game, show disrespect to your opponent
>he goes all-out, concentrates, outplays you so hard you can't even land a single hit, then shows disrespect in return
>waaaah he's actually putting in effort and i'm not having fun because i'm losing now
You sound like a massive faggot.

>>377408280
>taunted
>complains about getting his shit kicked in
That's the risk you take by using the taunt oki. They get tilted or get their shit together.

>>377384108
Just because you can't get a hit in doesn't mean you can't improve and get on that level.

Fighting people on your level and seeing both of your improvments is what's fun.
