I wish I could play fighting games, I just never understand wtf is going on. I can *usually* pull off the special-inputs in street fighter but the whole meta around blocking, combos, etc eludes me. I don't understand how the fuck people figure this shit out, and I really don't understand how people figured it out 30 years ago when console ports were trash, there was no internet and you had to pay 50 cents every time you wanted to get your ass kicked.
My favorite is SoulCalibur because you get by with button-smashing to some extent. Not that I think I'm *good* at it, but at least I feel like I'm learning things when I dust off my Dreamcast or PS2 (i never played any of the newer ones even though I still play the first 3 from time to time) and spend an afternoon playing through single-player.
