Why fighting games are bad

Some people have played over 20 years, you won't ever beat those guys, that doesn't mean you can't play the game and have fun. I can relate to ranked beeing frustrating though, when you get KO'ed all the time.

After practice you will improve, it might be slower for you than others, you just have to accept that there is other people who are much better at gaming than you. While Tekken is more complex in its core than 2D Fighter.

I find this game easyer to get into as a beginner. Thats what i think. Because i also am not really good at 2D Fighters. You should at least play first some older Tekken games like Tekken 5 for Ps2 emulate it if you need it The basic combos are really easy in Tekken and those are all you really need. Tekken is somewhat more smasher friendly than other fighters so this probably wont happen.

You can kind of do okay at 7dan and below just doing cheesy strings that only take a little bit of practice. These things are not very effective against seasoned players, but I think that they exist there so that people can win and have fun with Tekken even if they don't want to put that much time into it.

Fighting games are beyond me. If your community wasn't so toxic and vile, I might still be trying. The FGC made it so I never want to play or buy fighting games every again. Don't use these awful steam forums to judge the community. People are much nicer in Tekken reddit and in tekken zaibatsu. I suggest that you use these places to get more information about the game.

Most people here in steam forums don't know much about the game either so this is not a good place for serious discussion. But rationality tends to fly out the window when it comes to big online spaces. Personal opinion can morph into public discourse in one click, opening the floodgates for an angry mob of replies. She admits that some of her own language choices clouded some of her nuance and exacerbated the response. While Mika intended it to be a critique of the Super Smash Bros.

Mika found a strangely heartwarming silver lining amid the flood of angry Twitter DMs. She received numerous messages from fans who invited her into their own communities to play some games in a friendlier environment. That good-faith outreach stands in stark contrast to the thousands of insulting replies still piling up under the thread. Seeing all these players being able to chain combos and make the fighting look sophisticated, it makes me sick, because I know a much more simple and effective way to victory.

Just spam an attack. To me it seems that the fighting genre is the only one where you can win by either being very skilled, or extremely crude. I blame the competition. If it didn't feel so bad to lose, I wouldn't resort to these cheap tactics. I can admit failure and move on. I can shrug off the shame, but after losing a match in Soulcalibur 4 I want to throw the controller through a window. Both these genres are extremely competitive, so why do fighting games have such an effect on me?

Perhaps it is the simplicity of the objective. In fighting games your main goal is to defeat the other player. In sports games the objective is to accumulate more points then the other player. It is the immediate personal defeat in fighting games that make them so terrible. Defeat is personal, and fighting games can make my best friend become my greatest enemy.

Perhaps I am just a sore loser when it comes to fighting games, but instead of admitting defeat I'll just blame the genre for being the worst.
