The way the ranking systems are setup in fighting games now alienates a lot of people too. Not being to see anything about your opponents before already have to fight is annoying because you could end up fighting someone clearly way above your skill level 3 times in a row and no one wants to go thru that.

Fighting games need to stop trying to treat ranked matches online like real tournaments. If i wanted tournament style I'll go to a fukking tournament.
You get better by playing skilled players...
If you fought the same skill level or below you wouldnt learn shyt.

True, but like i said getting demolished several times is not fun. You still get better by playing people around your level simply thru experience alone.

I play better with momentum. So winning period makes me better no matter the skill level of the opponent i'm playing.

I really dont mind it. Of course, I used to and obviously I want to win but tha chance of learning something new is always welcome for me.

If you need momentum to win: try learning your matchups more so you are more confident and you know all of both your and your opponents options. Feel me?

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.
Waaaah SJW’s this, SJW’s that waaah

I take pride getting my ass whooped by multiple Evo Champs in MVC3:mjgrin:

I actually got decent in the game to play against the lower tier tournament players. I did learn a lot by playing people better than me.

The best way for me to learn fighting games is to try characters, practice combos, and practice character specific neutral against cpu.

Then I play against people so I can't get away with the same stuff. It also forces me to block. I'm pretty free to blocking but my combos are:wow:

I can block pretty good, but I have no real combos :mjlol:

I just liked being able to see who I'm fighting in ranked matches. You could fight someone way lower rank than you but they still be good as fukk and you lose all kinds of crazy points :stopitslime: That shyt is wack.

Weeabos have the worst taste bar none, and SJW's conflict with the genre. I'm not calling them feminist because i don't think there the same. Feminist care more about rights while SJW's care more about image.

SJW are political and currently have control of western fighting games. They mess with the fukking theme it's a fighting game not some girl power. There female characters suck as well, and they be anorexic with no muscle even the Japanese give their females muscle.

Japanese themselves got lazy and went full weeabo.... so bad idea's are more prevalent. Games like Guilty Gear and KOF was always trash. KOF got like 40 games in six years and only 2 of them are good. Despite Tekken/Soul Calibur having a good formula, they abandoned it for a more anime approach, which made no sense as they got farther without the anime shyt being so potent. Harada said he was copying Street Fighter and Bleach. Bleach got cancelled and Street fighter flopped.... again.... Harada was imitating failure, He also let the SJW get to him. Which he openly regretted.

Difficulty had nothing to do with it. I beat Azazel his auto blocking ass never beat me, Night Terror was harder i had to ring that nikka out, only for him to fly back into the ring that was some bullshyt. Still beat that nikka....with Maxi.... it just took me a while, cause i still don't know how to play Soul Calibur.

Got something for whooping his ass tho. Got paid and i unlocked him. That's gone too being rewarded for playing, unless you like the chump change they give you in modern games.

People use difficulty as an excuse for failure, when Dark Souls is a thing. But then again Dark Souls rewards you for playing the game and doesn't force you to go online, just so you can get you ass beat.

One, that's how you get better, by playing those that are better than you. Two, the last game that let you see who you was facing before accepting the match was Tekken 7 early on. The scrubs would just refuse the matches, so a lot of good players couldn't even play online, people were scared to play them.

That is how you get better but fighting some clearly out of your league 3 times in a row isn't gonna make you better instantly so really all you did is waste your time.

I've been playing ranked fighting games for a while and those players would eventually find matches.

But I'm tired of yall saying that. I rather have fun first and get better later. Getting beat down is not fun. Let me choose when I'm ready to fight a great player. Don't force me.

guilty gear is one of the best franchises.

Tekken and Soul Calibur have always been anime. It was to contrast the realism of virtua fighter. Tekken has an anime. The main characters have electric surging through their body and transform into devils. The Soul Calibur story is about magical swords. Inferno, nightmare, ivy, zasamel, xiangoua, tira, etc. are obviously not an attempt at realism.

The rest of your post is just ramblings and looks like a sign of this:
