>fighting games >literally spending hundreds of dollars

I consider myself a casual fighting game player
I only play single player unless I have IRL friends and idk, something is just so satisfying about getting so good I destroy the AI

no, rts is the worst

also, you can play with pads (fighting game pads are cheap), current games have decent netcode (xrd rev 2 for example) and just werks

you can git casual in a couple of hours if you aren't a monkey as well

>literally spending hundreds of dollars on a special controller
You can get by just fine with a regular pad, and hell even for genres like Tekken it matters even less what kind of controller you use.
>thousands of hours practicing offline
Practice is required if you want to get good at anything.
>mashing and getting destroyed in 10 seconds or less over and over
The fuck you mashing for if it keeps getting you destroyed?

Literally 100% false, the games are borderline unplayable without a stick. Using any kind of d-pad or even analog stick is fucking horrible and you either have no control with the analog stick or you're just mushing the d-pad and hoping it works.

>MOBA
>spend years on a single map maining 3-4 heroes just to get at least 6k mmr / whatever mediocre ranking just to get stomped by pro players who earn thousands of dollars from streams and monthly salary from sponsors and I'm not even mentioning multimillionaire prize pools of the tournaments you will never attend to

Except many top players use pad just fine, especially in 3D fighters like Tekken. Complaining that the game is unplayable without a stick is either a personal issue, or simply an excuse for being shit. One of the first questions in my local scene that usually gets asked by a new player is "do I need a stick to git gud?" and the answer is always "fuck no, use what you feel comfortable with."

It's almost like those top players have spent double the amount of time practicing as stick players have just to get over the shitty godawful feeling of using a controller for a fighting game.

Fighting games are annoying, and unfun.

It takes just as much practice to use a stick, especially if you've never used one before. Again, thinking that you HAVE to use a stick is either a personal issue, or a fucking excuse.

Considering this is /v/, you're an 09er at the absolute earliest. You fell for the stick meme, and you have nobody to blame except yourself since macros and button mapping has been standard for over a decade now
>thousands of hours practicing
stop sucking. if youre not a casual shitter, 2 hours in training room with any character is way more than enough to iron out a couple of bnbs and have a grasp of your character's tools.

literally git gud

Is rev2 live for the PC?
