Getting bored of GG because playing high level players is frustrating, especially against Answer/Chipp/Dizzy players.

BBCF is fun but Izanami/Nine are fucking disgusting. Mai being braindead easy doesn't help either.

UNIEL is great but dead. Grim Reaper sucks any potential fun the game could have.

I don't know anymore. Just waiting for Jubei to play through his story and maybe find a middle ground player who doesn't ride Nine's dick.

wavedash is for korean robots my man, one step at a time

>>384534103
It just seems like so much work for very little gain.
And at the end of the day, some button mashing retard can still play competently against you if he knows how to shield.

>>384534103
I guess it's not. There's nothing fun about getting perfected. It's anti-fun. Some games let you still enjoy it while losing, fighting games do not.

Tekken is more difficult than GG and is less boring as well.

>>384534731
everyone feels like they play too similar in tekken besides some exceptions. and there are way too many stances, I don't like stance characters. tekken isn't for me. I also don't like 6 button fighters because I only have a poverty pad so that rules out a lot of games.

>>384534831
I can agree with a decent chunk playing similarly, I don't resonate with a lot of the cast but it's still worth it to learn and play. It's really rewarding, and infuriating. And it stops me from playing the Ryu or Sol type characters of 2D games.

>>384534831

not super hard to get into and movelists are reasonably short

I'm playing ARMS though, most interesting fighter since Smash.

Deploy H sword. Jump around and occasionally use far S and 2H. When you get a hit, mash P and K to bring them to the corner. If they block, use 2KPP. Now just learn your corner setups and you're done. If you're feeling fancy, learn when to use Dauro and 2S.

>>384536294
There's no effective way to learn when everyone else has already been playing for years and you're brand new. You have to throw yourself against a wall over and over for dozens of hours to get over it. And I don't want to.

I like watching fighting games and I wish I could like playing them but I can't. rythym games are one of my least favorite genres, and doing combos in fighting games is basically the same mechanic. I wish they would make a game without the "push the buttons in order but not too fast or too slow" shit so I could actually play one, but everyone would probably just say it's for babies and no one else would play it.

>>384537010
Theyre just people who want their accomplishments given to them on a silver platter, with minimal effort involved.

>>384536410
either you're impossibly bad at fighting games or you're full of shit. if you start playing tekken 7 or sfv or whatever you'll start off at the absolute lowest rank playing against people of YOUR skill level. you're not gonna get bodied by pros, that's just not gonna happen. you can get away with super cheap shit and beat other scrubs who also dont know what they're doing. if all you care about is winning, you'd never get anything out of a fighting game anyways, since they're all about the learning process. getting fucked in the ass, stopping to thing as to why you got fucked, and coming up with a solution to that problem. working on your punishes, your pokes, your combos, option selects, techs, etc. perfectly understandable why you wouldnt want to get into them, especially if you're a busy person but dont give me this bullshit of losing over and over again, because theres no way someone could honest to god be THAT terrible at a game.

>>384537681
my biggest problem is that fighting games strongly favor defensive play at low skill levels. it takes a good deal of practice just to get to the level where someone can't just mash dp to get out of whatever your're trying to hit him with.

The story mode is pretty good but its a massive anime clusterfuck and you need the previous games in the series to understand it or something

Well you could also win matches purely with solid fundamentals and short combos. As long as you know what you're doing and what the situation calls for you should be fine regardless. No one is asking for you to pull off a DBZ anime combo.

>>384538871
To be fair, most fighting games are a hundred times more fun if you're with someone. Even if you get your ass kicked you can still banter. I find online only matches to be disgusting because there's nothing but silence and maybe a "git gud fuckin noob" message after the match.

Im fine with getting my ass kicked, I had to start playing quake in fucking 2006. The problem is there is only 1v1 and only players who are so above your skill level are playing. Its impossible to learn when your just getting perfected 70% of the time.

Quake I could go into ffa and get a few kills here and there, and while I wasn't learning the meta in duels i was still learning the map and sharpening my aim every game. If I was forced to go into only 1v1's in quake I would have got fucked so hard I would have 0 chance to improve.

The only thing fighting games have going for them is style and good character designs. The entire genre plays like trash and is for autists.

>>384539660
Thats because you dont understand the effect of such hand motions
Take a DP (or most antiairs) for instance. If that was just a button press, it be really easy to anti air every single jump in. But with the hand motions, you have to put yourself at risk of taking an overhead attack or simply not blocking at all. Same thing with a haduken and such.
Its not about making it hard, its about making it strategically deep. Hand motions force the player to choose his actions wisely.

How can you guys hate Street Fighter V? I find it really fun.

Fighting game players circlejerk over learning obtuse move dialing techs and only a handful will be able to do more than just autismally spam the same combos they've practiced in training with no mindgaming or real grasp on the game like pros have. The barrier of entry is so high it's the reason barely anybody anywhere plays traditional fighting games yet FGC streams get views. Melee is hated for being a very popular uniquely approachable system with depth wrapped in a kids party game sleeve. It makes the combo dialing autism look stupid and offends the FGC so they hate on it. Meanwhile FGC fanboys will pretend their fighting games aren't wrapped in an anime aesthetic for horny/edgy kids to button mash in.

What makes you think someone can't do both? FPS are pretty easy to pick up but people seem to think fighting games have an impossible barrier to entry.

>>384540790

They are very close to the same thing. Those feelings in a moment of competitive excellence are what players of many different games strive for.

That's probably why all the people who say "well I can just play a normal game im not an autismo" don't get it.

Moba players, shooter players, fighting game players, they are all alike.

>>384540445

No, its about balance. Powerful moves have complex inputs.

>>384540445
I guess you could say that
I mean, think about it. I jump at you, you decide to throw a fireball. You have to press down and then forward + punch. But to block you need to press backwards. So you choose to do a fireball when Im already close, youve got no chance of blocking my attack, and even you havent pressed forward yet, youre crouching, so youre gonna eat my aerial attack.

Now think of charge characters. You cant walk forward and press backwards at the same time to charge your move. Which means that if you do want to move forward and charge at the same time, you have to jump, which opens you up for anti airs. So you gotta choose: move forward with my fireball or stay put?

Its for these kinds of things that hand motions exists. To make the gameplay deep and strategical rather than just press buttons.

Now, obviously, thats just one way to do it. A game like Tekken or DoA doesnt need hand motions to be deep, but still are. Its all down to flavor.

Most FPS games are extraordinarily easy to pick up outside of arena shooters like quake. Most fighting games are not casually designed. The big difference is in their skill ceilings. The skill ceiling in most modern fps games is very low whereas fighting games have high skill ceiling due to its reliance on mindgames. This is of course not mentioning quake because quake is the fighting game of FPS.

There's a game for you, it's called Fantasy Strike, Or Divekick. Or Yomi, if you want to fudge the idea of what makes a fighting game. Hell, even Smash Bros doesn't use the 'outdated controls' you claim to hate so much, if one believes Smash to be a fighter. But you won't play those either, because it's not quarter-circles holding you back, but rather the fact that you suck and have no patience.

fps games are intuitive. if you miss it's because you didn't aim good enough. at most you have to learn how to shoot the ground while jumping. with fighting games you have to go online and look at frame data and understand what it means just to figure out why the other guy was able to counter you while you were hitting him.

Hypocrisy doesn't even begin to describe.

>>384541036
that's has no effect on balance though since skilled players will pretty much never flub an input. all raging storm type shit does is make it harder to learn the character.

>>384541067
the only real thing that matters is whether you can block or charge other moves while doing the input. there's no reason a move has to be down>forward instead of just forward or even forward>forward like in mortal kombat.

I mean, i like playing Dudley, he is my favorite. And i am good with him. (Not a pro, but decent.)
But i wanted to play other characters. Q and Oro being on the list of characters i want to learn.

>thinking Fighting games are all about combos
Combos are the reward for opening someone up and to think that fighting games are just combos is the reason you suck at it. Change your perspective and you'll get better. Also, depending on the game, the combos aren't even that long so the whole "button masher, too much to memorize" ain't an excuse.

>>384542846
They've also been playing since they were kids.

>>384542939
Oro's actually kinda good.

Knowing Dudley is good. I don't blame you, I like messing around with people like Remy. But you gotta be ready to bust out that high tier if you see a Yun.

>>384542739
I had a custom made 6 piece, then some sea eel, yellowtail, and tuna belly. Drinks were plum wine then a Metro which has vodka, agave nectar, cranberry, and lime

>>384542972

In some games combos are a important mechanic tho. BlazBlue and MVC for an example.

>>384532778
The learning experience in order to be "good" is not fun or satisfying to me.

>>384543031
When i play against Yun or Yang i pick Remy, and just poke them from a distance and try to keep them away from me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, since i mostly rely on reads when playing him like that. Also, like i said, i ain't a pro and i can't parry for shit.

just make special moves a unique button. blazblue almost did it with the drive button, but then they had regular special moves on top of it. most arcade sticks have 8+ buttons so it's not like you're going to run out.

>>384543307
But then how do you do move strenght?
Some games like NRS ones dont use it but they are certainly a very important part of of other games like SF and KoF. You gonna have a button for each strenght?
What about EX moves? A meter-burn button like NRS does? Sure, but then what about games with 3 strength types, which will require 6 buttons plus special buttons plus meter-burn?
Its just too convoluted when it doesnt need to be. Many games have tried that in the past, and none of them actually worked without dumbing down stuff like, again, NRS does.

>>384543565
Most fightan has normals that can be cancelled into supers. Then you just need a good hit confirm and you're good to go.

>>384543189
with Yang you gotta watch out for his roll. You throw a high projective and he just somersault kicks you. I like Yang, he's got some good options with his specials and is more interesting than "set up Genei-Jin and juggle".

Get an obsidian if you also want to play on PC.

>>384532778
I'm no good at them, desu. I can't memorize combos well and the weird tilt ones never work the way they should for me. Plus none of them look that interesting to me. Smash bros was fun but I dunno if that counts.

>>384532778
Fighting games not in the smash bros style is fucking confusing. Gotta memorize button combos and shit. I'm only one man here.

I play Blazblue and Guilty Gear. Learning Rachel and Bedman.

Because every time I try to learn a character, I end up just picking one of the girls and seeing if I can see their pantsu during their moves.

>>384532778

>>384544327
Thanks. I hope someday I'll fully enjoy fighting games.

>Practice tactics to overcome it
What kind of tactics ?

Because my wife is in active labor, but not far along enough so that we can go to the hospital. So we are watching tv and waiting out the storm.

Otherwise id be driving myself mad playing sfv.

But HRAP 4 also works on PC?

>>384546835
Not op, but its not tactics its more like make reads and punish mistakes. Tactics imply that you have a plan. Thr only thing you need to know as far as that goes is matchups against your character.

>people are too good in Skullgirls
Just go to SG discord and play with new players. This is where I get most of my matches

I've been thinking about getting GG or Blazbluh on steam since both are on sale, but I've never played either of them, I just have something of a passing interest in them because I like their visual styles.

I tend to not have the patience to get good at fighters, just end up getting pissed off and ragequitting after getting stomped repeatedly. Which is a shame because its probably the genre of game I wish I could improve at the most.

I might play Tekken later. I have to be in a state of mind where I'm up for having my ass kicked over and over so I don't play very much.

Apparently the RAP 4 Kai has horrible input lag.

Tekken 7 is my first tekken game and Paul is so damn fun to play. Helps that he's really simple. Anyone have any tips for him?

Oh I wasn't aware, well I also personally like the look of the obsidian over the hrap and wlso the Sanwa buttons. I do like the Hayabusa thatll be present on the hrap though.

New fighting games don't feel as intuitive as ST or 3S, but a lot of older games didn't feel as intuitive as those games either, I guess that's why SF2 was so goddamn popular. I'm purely discussing 2D games, something about the walkspeeds and the way hit/hurtboxes match animations and models feels fucking off

King of Fighters 2002 UM is dead as fuck.
I don't want to pay for Rev 2. Also I'm bad at it.
I don't think the Melty Blood discord plays on Steam. And if they do they're going to destroy me.
And most importantly, I'm too good for the one friend I have that plays fighters. So he always has an excuse for why he can't play.

Record your matches if you can, see what your opponent is doing that is opening you up then find a way to beat that

Training mode is your friend. Godspeed bruh

wtf if your homeless you should be thinking about sharpening your cross bow bolts so you can cook squirrels in your fire pit.
