Why I don't enjoy fighting games

[deleted fren]

I enjoy 3D fighters like Soulcaliber where the game is extremely entertaining even if you don't know combos. 2D fighters are absolutely miserable. Why? Well, because you have to memorize combos for the game to be entertaining. Walking back and forth as you desperately input the correct button combination sure is entertaining! It's not that I can't remember combos either. I can. It's just boring to me.


I have no motivation to play fighting games online. Because greed of developers you basically get 0 reward for doing good unless you grind a ridiculous amount of time. I'm not going out of my way to sweat just so I can feel a fading sense of accomplishment and no reward.

Yeah and they aren’t realistic either

 

[Aegon Targaryen]

The fighting game community is fucking retarded anyways.

Back when I used to play MKXL on console, I got into characters like Liu Kang and Mileena, but online matches were either filled with long range spammers or EVO cucks.

The MK community has let the franchise fall apart in terms of design, story, and player culture. They overhype every little thing, are overly critical of beautiful busty female characters, and celebrate when iconic characters are changed in ways that don’t resemble their past iterations at all.

Their obsession with an EVO nigger called Sonic Fox has turned him into the spokesnegroid for the entire community, with the developers making changes based on his feedback. Most people hate mk1, but since Sonic Fox hasn't said anything, is ahl goo' righ guyz?

The MK community does brutal fatalities but complains when Mileena had too much sex appeal in MK9, because of muh realism. Men who talk and act like women mostly play these games. They brutally rip their enemies throat out, but cry like foids when a woman is too busty. They reduced the bust size immensely in MK 10, in MK 11 all the women were already fully flat chested and also covered up btw, like some Muslim retard developed this game, and in MK 1 (new one) they literally look like troons.

 

[Failed Pullout]

Even when I got my ass destroyed in For Honor I still thought it had some kind of appeal and fun to it, shit like street fighter and mortal kombat I never enjoyed and just found awkward.

 

[Darth Aries]

I only play single player games now. Online gaming lost the magic it used to have years and years ago

What a bunch of faggots. Reminds me of horror movie fans.

With you.

Agreed

Fighting games and sports slop (FIFA etc.) were the only types of games I could never get behind. Just never saw the appeal. Even as roguelites, they’re boring.

Some normies love ‘em, but then again, some normies love trannies too, so it’s not like their taste in videogames or anything in general matters. Just cause some people like eating their own shit doesn’t mean that shit is objectively edible.

 

[slashER]

Starting up as a newbie in modern fighting games are either play single player story mode or FFA against bots and train your ass off to then play multiplayer.

Or play multiplayer right away and get your ass kicked by more experienced players that know disgusting combos.

I wanted to get into fighting games (specifically MK, Skullgirls 2ND Encore and SF) But knowing that multiplayer doesn't really reward you in any way deterred me from continuing.

Most of these are microtransaction filled garbage anyway.

 

[AgITO37]

Not for me, remembering all the 33493099 combos

 

[starystulejarz]

My wrists hurt too much when i play them for more than 1h. And you need to train for much longer than that. Even if i will remember combos enemy can break your string and then i'm fucked because my brain is still processing my combo that just failed. They are not that fun to play you train longer than playing and then get completely murdered by some tryhard with steel wrists that trained for 18h a day. Fuck fighting games.

They don't hit the same in 2024.

Minecraft, COD, castle crashers, and Happy Wars was my golden age back in 2013-2014

I was on overwatch, pubg, and fortnite from 2016-2020. It could be that those were the years I was in hs but the fact a new game like concord flopped hard and peoples preferences are shifting over to single player indie games tells me there's more to it.

 

[coolguy87]

Fighting game communities got nigger infested around 2004 and they've never been the same. Used to be based whites and asians.

What he'll fighting games are all ways about combos since it is a competitive game since the arcade era where learning how to combo and doing air juggle will help you in street fighter

They dont hit the same after online speech got restricted

It got worse with Evo shit and esg score

 

[Exhunter45]

Fighting games are about skill your problem can be fixed with playing with bots frame data and all that shit are for people who are into it and want to get better because why would a norime go that far to learn which moves are safe and what's not and that's why they have less players even if it is mainstream

 

[HomicidalSuicidal88]

Because it requires too much skill and too much time to master combos and highly skilled players it doesn't feel rewarding losing almost all the time when no one wants to play casual.

 

[Linesnap99]

fighting games are enjoyable with proper controller not keyboard

 

[fukurou]

combos ruined fighting games.
I hear samurai shodown is comboless

WWE VS RAW PC game was pretty descent.

Combos are part of fighting games

 

[SubhumanGamer]

Fighting games are... boring. All you do is memorize a couple of pro's combos and use them in a battle.

There isn't any discovery in Fighting games anymore. No need for workshopping in the practice range as everyone has found everything a week after launch, and the meta is concrete after the 3rd day.

The second you fight someone that is a higher skill level than you it is just an entire game of playing defense only getting a couple jabs in. Once you finally peak in ranked there really isn't anything to do as the learning curve is stupidly steep.

I much prefer my single player games and occasional mobas/ pvp shooters.

Its not about memories combos its about exciting moves and trying to adapt to your oppents the thing is skill barrier is getting easyier to learn just buy street fighter 6 or tekken 8

 

[Exhunter45]

All you guys did was prove that fighting games is the mostsubhuman type of game since the players base are people who are try hard and you guys act like norimes with not wanting to learn the game combos

The fighting game community is just copers who believe that having 1000 hours in an imbalanced shitty game matters anything they would prefer to have Sex with Stacys but since they cant they cope with playing with shitty games

Old fighting games are unbalance modern one's are balance my it's the skill ceiling too high

 

[Kamanbert]

Same but i don't like competitive games in general. I want beauty, grace and fun in a game, not mashing buttons, which can be fun in it's own way but the line between being pissed off/just wanting to win and having fun can be very thin just look at the fighting game community.

"just invest 2000 hours to get good bro"

Only 2000 hours?
