Thread is a prime example of what the problem with fighters is.

Its literally too hard and requires to much dedication for your average gamer. Even gamers that are amazing alot of times cant deal with battling another human being 1 on 1

And this is no disrespect to anyone who has posted, but there's alot of excuses as to why they dont like fighter, cant play them or how its different now.


Fighting games are like o e of the only genres that touch your soul when you get washed. Especially washed in a dominate fashion.


I've seen it over and over again.

"Man I bet all you do is play this game"

While the dude who's saying it has 200 hours in NBA 2k, COD and madden.



I've seen people get beaten down and then some over fighting games.


If you good at SF you'll be good at the rest so the learning curve is at your advantage, where as in MK you start from the bottom in every game.


But yeah fighting games this gen are boring.

Wrong breh, the problem is you can’t blame anybody. You’re responsible for holding that L yaself. I’ve been just as heated as some dood wall bouncing off me to blast me, bounce another wall to kill my teammate covering me with a pistol, and then dance on my corpse.

I can blame my dumbass teammate but no one in a fighting game.

How is Gears, CoD, or BF any different from a fighting. Shotguns have active frames cool down, and recoil. Why is that different from plus frames and hit stun.

Because those are team games or at least death matches.

Fighting is straight up my tools vs your tools. Not being able to kill someone is annoying. But getting washed over and over with perfects or full life and really making someone feel like they have no chance or suck...

Only with fighters.

There's a reason they keep adding all these comeback mechanics to games and trying to add ways to at least make a player feel like they are doing something....

They aren't doing that with sports games, or racing games, or shooters, or battle royals.


With shooters, there's always that chance you might kill the best player in the game.

In a fighter there is no chance of a below mid level player being the best player in the game period.

Even when messing around the odds are low

Fighting games are only boring when you hop online, get beat down, and have no desire to increase your skill level and make yourself competitive.

shyt was all fun when you were beating your little cousins and neighbors. You hop online and get exposed as trash. The minute gamers feel like they aren't instantly amazing at fighting games is when they start to checkout.

This goes for damn near every type of game too, that's why most games are insultingly easy nowadays.

fighting games have literally had resurgence this past decade lmao, they were pretty much dead before that
nobody remembers any of the mortal Kombats after 3 series was a joke until they came back with mk9

Street Fighter was nowhere to be found until 4 revived the competitive fighting game scene

the problem is there are too many fighting games now

Fighting games lack rewards for playing. Remember Soul Calibur 3? People shat on that game because it wasn't made for the competitive scene. Soul Calibur 3 and Tekken Dark Resurrection(psp) were the best fighting game packages. Endless Ghost/Arcade battle was the shyt. Endless Arcade battle i liked more because it didn't add any of the goofy ass costumes.

Fighting games used to be about martial arts and had more respect for the hand to hand combat. As well as a participation concept, with the characters. Which led to people begging to be represented.

I remember people begging for a krav maga and wing chun fighting style. People wanted their nationalities repped, or characters designs inspired by their favorite martial artist.

All that is out the window now as every new character is some stupid weeabo shyt from some dumb ass anime, a character that is already in the game, or was supposed to appeal to SJW's who only want gays and females in fighting games. SJW's and the competitive scene contribute nothing to push the genre forward but are getting fed like crazy.

Fighting games got boring after SF2: 3rd Strike and MK 3. Afterwards, nothing new happened under the sun. We'd seen it all.
