Convince me to get into the fighting genre of gaming, /v/.

I've barely played them in recent years, but from observations it seems to be the best choice for
>raw player skill, depending on which game of course, but it's the genre that takes the most effort to get the best at
>almost guaranteed to have a strong, competitive scene if the game is well-developed
>has some of the tightest gaming communities, ranging from total buddy beginners to raging comp autists
>one of the few and only genres left that really works wonders playing together in the same sofa, rather than with strangers online
>sometimes even come with good storytelling, lore, worlds and characters despite not being some AAA RPG title

I suppose a main concern is whether or not it's worth getting into if I intend to play mostly on my own, against the computer. I rage easily against players online from even the smallest latency having any impact whatsoever on a match, and I only have 1-2 half-interested people to play with locally.
