Fighting games are one of the most unbalanced genres because it always gives a 100% chance of victory to the most experienced player. In any other genre both players / teams have a 50/50 chance of victory; skill and experience tip the balance in favor of a particular side but it's never an absolute 100%. Meanwhile when it comes to fighting games once the match starts if the other guy is more experienced you're already fucked and can only watch how your character juggles in the air due to receiving a 50 hits combo.
And that's ignoring the fact that all of your arsenal is hidden behind arbitrary stick and inputs sequences. I don't need to draw circles with my stick and press a certain button sequence to throw a grenade on a FPS.
>the better player wins Oh no how can this be happening
Ryder Jackson
RTS is literally look up the meta or lose: the genre. The problem is the autist community, not the games. I always have a blast playing against friends that are the same skill as me (good, but not great)
Jaxon Williams
Don't see losses as failures from your part. It's ok to lose and everybody does. Use them as learning tools.
Sebastian Brooks
Okay and?
Adam Stewart
That's why RTSare dying?
And fighting, for that matter.
But seeing how hard it is to win in BRs, I just don't know

David James
>Also, in normal fighting games, when a beginner faces a dedicated user, it normally ends quickly with the beginner unable to do anything in a completely one-sided match. That won’t happen in Versus. >Of course, a higher skill level is an advance, so dedicated users have much higher chances to win, but beginning players also have a chance to get through. twinfinite.net/2019/02/granblue-fantasy-versus-relink-interview/
The OP reminded me of this part from the recent Granblue FG interview. Not sure how they're supposed to accomplish this though.
James Ramirez
Are you complaining about losing to someone who is better than you?
Because they are never the more experienced player
Josiah Gray
I agree. I wanted to enjoy DOA6 but I just can't. Played it for a while then uninstalled. Unironically enjoyed Injustice 2 because it has single player content.
John Diaz
Please do not bully Kumikoposter
Ethan Morris
This is only true if they are of equal skill. I put much more time in games than others to still get trashed effortlessly. Practice is a meme, only helps for naturally talented people.
>always gives a 100% chance of victory to the most experienced player This is wrong. Source: Sometimes I win a game, then lose a game to the same player, proving it's not a 100% chance. Mods please close the thread now that this issue is resolved.
Carson Mitchell
Yes. I was simply born inferior. I wish it didn't frustrate me but it does because I'm not good in anything. Says the talented.
Parker Rivera
practice isn't about doing something repeatedly expecting better results. Practice is noticing what parts you need to improve in and improving them. You wont be good at guitar if you just start slamming it, you get good by practising cords, arm position and dexterity, tangible real things that you need to get better at.
Grayson Nguyen
Both of you were equally skilled, having a 50% chance.
Luke Gonzalez
What games do you play? Does your practice have purpose? I drive my car daily but I won't be taking on rally racing.
Brandon Miller
I won about one quarter of matches played against this Nina I played yesterday in Tekken, we played for like half an hour. Clearly he's more skilled than me.
Lucas Cooper
Its sounds like PR nonsense talk, they know that there is no mechanic that will seriously level the playing field between a new and experienced player that wouldn't also completely destroy the game. Even in the simplest, most low skill floor games you can think of like Divekick or something like Jump Force an experienced player will still wipe the floor with a newbie. A true skill/experience gap can't be artificially shortened without compromising the integrity of the game. The closest I can think of would be something like how Dead or Alive/Killer Instinct/the Naruto games offer repeatble ways to get out of combos but even that still favors experienced players in the end.
Hudson Bell
Getting into fighting games is a long, uphill battle where you have to deal with the people higher on the hill actively trying to keep you down, it attracts certain kinds of people, who might be motivated by wanting to be amongst a tighter-knit community than the relatively amorphous Battle Royale or MOBA crowds, or just people who want to beat the people ahead of them for revenge or something of the sort. You have to deal with the fact that there is no team to blame, all responsibility (in a perfect scenario, discounting connection issues and the like) is on you, it was your fault that the opponent won because you didn’t prevent them from pulling off their combos on you. You both typically have the same tools at your disposal in terms of characters, and so your choice of character is just another responsibility of yours.
In short, it just seems like your personality isn’t cut out for fighting games, you aren’t motivated to better yourself due to adversity.
Jayden Morgan
>can't blame the team >blame the genre instead Some people are just pure salt I suppose.
I need better reflexes for starters in every type of game. >block attack >enemy mashes and ends up with a huge frame disadvantage >release block >press the fastest attack >get smacked in the face >look up his profile >playing the game for a few hours in every week >I play the game every day for months
I play many games but only one or two "seriously" meaning I spend a lot of time and effort on it for no results. My last time sink was/is (playing lot less than before) Overwatch. Gold border, forever platinum. Most of the guys I played with when the game came out got to Master in a few seasons. The weaker ones are firmly diamond (all with them having a family and adult responsibilities while I'm a nolifer) so I'm just playing it alone for years.
This. Practice situations that fuck you up. If you're getting hit too much, block more and see what shit they hit you with. Try it out in the lab and then see if you can punish that move if it's unsafe. If they whiff something that looks punishable, try and test them. If you're having problems with motions, practice movement and trying to do the things you want to do in battle.

Camden Fisher
I played SFIV for years. Afterwards I wanted to go as low effort as I can in hope the competition will be kinder to me. Injustice 2 for a while because I heard it is joy friendly and I like DC. DOA5, now 6 (already past a breakdwon where I uninstalled the game new record I guess) because I played the series a lot from DOA2 to DOA4.
Gabriel Reyes
Some people really are. I suspect they’re the type that never really learned to take responsibility for wrongdoing as a child, and/or were desperate to be liked
You’re right, but I’ve had this same discussion with friends who don’t understand my love of fighting games so many times that it’s second nature to wax lyrical about it
I use the word blame for lack of a better term but really in an ideal situation there’s no need to blame anyone in an adversarial way, a losing player shouldn’t get bogged down in feeling sorry for themselves, or be annoyed with themselves. Every mistake is a learning experience.
Ultimately you should be seeking to learn from every loss and every victory, in every match in a string of losses try to observe where you were able to improve upon your last loss, and expand upon it. Similarly, don’t rest on your laurels in victory, try to understand why you were able to prevail, and look for where you were weakest, as no victory, even a perfect k.o. Is truly without flaw, perhaps your combo was suboptimal, or your execution was sloppy, always strive to better yourself anons!
Those are fine games. I don't dig NRS but like SF and DoA. >hoping for kind competition >uninstalling a game due to salt C'mon. As you wish to win, so do others. There are obviously issues here not tied to this genre. I like getting people into the genre but if your blood pressure is out of whack playing it then move on.
Isaiah Peterson
Give me a fighting game that doesn't devolve into meta memery or high speed autism chess. A game where everyone is on equal footing and where something unexpected could always happen. Not something where you can put the controller down after making a small mistake because you're now stuck in a juggling loop. Fuck I want games like bushido blade or something.
Adrian Cook
I'm too shitty at fighting games, I just wish they'd make a good Metroidvania with the same character designs
Well, there is Indivisible, but it's more of a Valkyrie Profile clone. All the designs are done by the people who worked on Skullgirls.
Asher Diaz
Git gud Kumikek
Kayden Young
this is also one of the reasons why fighting games arent as popular.
they are way more fun with friends. gamers are mainly neets nowadays

You're just asking for a casual game. I recommend mario party.
Angel Brooks

Cooper Cruz

Ethan Fisher
I do understand others want to win but I can't take it anymore when people using me a punching bag. The genre is just makes it more obvious than your average team game where anyone can luck out someone to carry them.
Connor Reed
You only see fighting games as black and white. Win or lose. It's not about either. It's about the journey. It's about finding the way, your way, yourself.
Why do casualfags keep seething over games all about improving? If you're not having enough fun to keep practicing and actually deserve a win just play something else.
Liam Reyes
If this isn't bait, I'm going to kill myself and then kill you. I don't even play fighting games, but fuck you. >anime nevermind, you're just retarded
John Sanchez
>It's about the journey That's what I told my last girlfriend of 8 years. She bought that bullshit. For 8 years.
Christopher Harris
>just play something else. I like to pick on this because it is a common advice along with "if you can't improve despite doing what you are told then you deserve where you are". What if there are no games left because I'm shit in everything?
James Cox
Fighting games' execution is too hard. It's unrealistic to expect someone to press a button within a 1-3 frame window, especially online.
Logan Russell
More like one where people without autism can also play it.
I don't know if you were meming with this but this unironically looks good. It's simple and easy to understand while still being able to be intense.
Austin Ward
Then it looks like video games aren't for you. So what are you going to do? Are you going to do something about it or are you going to continue being a little bitch?
Logan Ortiz

Oliver Reed
I play this racing game and the good players will beat me by a whole second or more on maps I will think I have maxed out. But at the same time the bad players will look at me and think the same. If you can't find motivation to continue practicing in such a situation, then I don't think playing a multiplayer game that demands practice is for you.
Nathan Russell
One of the problems with fighting games is that they are not fathering people into the communities. There is to much emphasis on being able to memorize button combo's, at least from a normie or casual sense. Smash as a competitive game is a bit ridiculous but grows because new players are not struggling with the controls, everything is easy to execute so when they get their ass handed to them, they can have a better understanding of why they lost where they need to improve.
As long as this perception exists, the fighting game community is not going to grow.
Hunter Morales
Underrated post.
Landon Sanders
No one memorizes combos. Just practice them and muscle memory will take care of the rest. A big part of the reason smashfags are so hated is because they don't want to play other fighting games. They just want to turn other games into smash.
Julian Perry
Yeah so mario party.
Easton Collins
>mash as a competitive game is a bit ridiculous but grows because new players are not struggling with the controls, everything is easy to execute so when they get their ass handed to them, they can have a better understanding of why they lost where they need to improve. Wtf I like smash now? But seriously yeah fighting games are overcomplicated. All you need is a solid and simple to understand system and the rest will follow. Is smash the only ''fighting'' game that gets this right?
Nicholas Torres
People go into games wanting different things. I truly believe fighting games should have very thorough tutorials, but it still won't make the casual gamer seeking instant or constant gratification stick around. The genre was born in the arcade and thus it's steeped heavily in the sink or swim nature of that time. This is a curse and a blessing.
Eli Torres
I bet you hate smash as well.
Easton Carter
I've legit won games with just better knowledge of my normals, spacing etc. 'Muh combos' are worthless if you can't open someone up or lack a basic understanding of the game.
Adam Moore
Smash is fine for what it is. A goofy party game. It can be a decent fighter if you turn off all the random shit.
I didn't say I hate that shit. But you want to win without trying to improve in any way, so mario party is great for that.
Luis Howard
I hated how there is actual STRATEGY in only top levels of autism gameplay, if you are a casual it's all about who knows build orders and shit.
Carson Sanders
Samurai Shodown
Blake Kelly
But then there is nothing for me because I'm not good in anything. Continue suffering of course.
Adrian Kelly
Than play something that makes it a 50/50. Fighting games are made for people that like them. Not people who feels like they're entitled to a win without putting the work in. You should have fun just playing not winning. It's just not for you,so move on.I hate how casuals think fighting games should cater to them and make it easy.
Aaron Sanchez
I dunno man. It's like a fighter. If you can't block then why would I bother engaging in mind games with you? You're not worth the mental effort. I can just kill you no problem.
Alexander Flores
I think my problem is that it's all too fucking fast and entry skill level is quite high. I just want to actually take my time strategizing and trying to outsmart the opponent or something. Mind games are fun in vidya and I dont really feel like there is a lot of in rts, it's probably not just a genre for me.
Ryder Morris
I think fighters are better for mind games. Give those a try. You can also win without good combos if you have better mind games. I do it all the time.
William Hill
Yeah having autism should not be a requirement to be able to improve. That's why smash is growing and the rest is dying. A fighting game should be easy to learn and hard to master.
Jacob Campbell
You just label anyone better than you autistic. Smash has a low skill floor but I promise you're probably not improving much and would get shitstomped just as hard by a good player.
Fighting games are doing fine.
Alexander Walker
Im a 2k wins kazuya shitter >the rest is dying This is what nintentoddlers actually believe btw
Joshua Clark
You sound like you would enjoy turn based strategy then. Go for Civ V, or if you have friends to join ya, Wargroove or an Advance Wars of some kind. Upside to Wargroove is they have a system where players can end their turn and just close the game, and the system will pass the turn to the next player once they start up the game and rejoin that match.
Samuel James
Normies and casuals don't understand that, they think you have to memorize combo's inputs to be good at the game but those are just superfluous. The reality is that they could memorize every combo in existence and they will still be shit if they just keep running into damage.
Personally I think a system similar to smash Ken and Ryu is ideal for getting new players into the game. Ken and Ryu have the simplified control scheme for Smash, but you can input the traditional button inputs for a stronger version. New players have toys to play around with and can learn the game with a greater deal of control of the character, as they transition into high levels of play, understand basic core principles, they can start swapping out the simplified input to the more traditional input for better chances at winning the game. This system helps high level of play as it gives players essentially double the moveset, alternate weak and strong fireball spam for mind games, substitute certain moves with easier to execute versions to improve your consistency, ect.
Try an arena shooter or something like For Honor then. Or an RTS like WC3 where the pace is slower and micro matters more.
Josiah Rogers
>In any other genre both players / teams have a 50/50 chance of victory in starcraft a proplayer will win with a mediocre player 100% of the time, if you put a proplayer against a slightly worse proplayer, it'll still be something like 80%. you're just a salty shitter.

>every fighter i want to learn is some niche anime shit that everybody who isn't godlike moves on from to the next shiny new game after a month >practice for a few weeks, get the basics down and all of the casuals have already moved on >have to join a discord full of people who have been playing the genre for decades in arcades just to get a match >nobody wants to play me there because i'm a total punching bag Happens every time and yet I love Granblue so much I'm probably going to fall for it again when that comes out.
Colton Moore
Faggots like you ruined Smash
Christian Howard
The good ones (2 and 5Special) are on FightCade, though the roomfags there will probably kick your dick in so find a discord or something
vidya isn't a linear experience. you don't need to be good at anything to enjoy it. even fighting games, competitive as they are, can be enjoyed by scrubs as long as they aren't crybabies who can only see victory and loss. the matter is, however, that not everyone cares for improvement, and it's fine. enjoy what you enjoy, stop complaining that you can't win. it does feel like you have a taste for competitiveness tho. I suggest picking a fighting game, learning the basics and getting bodied online until you find enlightenment in self improvement
I don't know if this advice is for everyone but if you're having trouble with execution in fighting games, use a keyboard. Not to say that you can't do it in a controller, because you totally can, but sometimes you have to find what works best for you, and in my case it's the keyboard.
Matthew Wilson
>friends are usually open to playing fighting / competitive puzzle games >the moment I look up move inputs or combo setups, they duck out and stop playing against me Should I even bother playing games like Tekken 7 if I'm only going to play against people online? I overcame this hurdle last with Skullgirls by finding randos on Yea Forums I had a chance against, but I don't think I'll ever get any friends locally to play with.
I fucking hate this. honestly I'm already too deep to drop tekken now, but I'll have to build a local community somehow so I can actually find friends to play with.
Bentley Morales
I think so. I have over 500 hours in tekken and i dont have friends. Theres a lot of people playing it so finding matches at all skill levels shouldnt be a problem.
Aaron Perry
This. It is only 95% actually. When my friend and I play fighters I usually win one in 30 matches.
Lincoln Butler
Your just a casual so you should play casual games. No shame in it. You are not a "Hardcore Gamer", and you'll probably have more fun than them over the long haul.
As a casual gamer myself, I am playing Lost Odyssey, Wangan Midnight at the arcade, and Cannon Spike on my newly GDEMU Dreamcast. Always wanted to try it.
Just play the games made for you and stop reeeing at other games to change.
Brandon Hernandez

If we played 1000 duels in Quake 3 I would win 1000 duels as you would never be able to raise your skill level enough to surpass me.
Maybe if you practice with someone like Rapha or Cypher but against them you could play until you are alive and you would never win.
Elijah Hernandez
I think You are implying the matches are close. What is the point of playing when the same thing happens as if I would put down the controller at the beginning of the round. This is my problem with every multiplayer game, I don't consider getting stomped as playing the game.
Joshua Rivera
Lots of people are shitting on you OP but what can you expect when you come to the internet den of autism and start a thread about a genre intrinsically linked with autism itself. Whatever valid points you make will likely fall on deaf ears. Just play something else because if you're not one of them you won't enjoy it anyway. And to be honest most things multiplayer are garbage anyway.
>Want to try UNIST becase "it has the best tutorial ever!" >Have always been shit at fighting games and can't handle losing >Will probably get stomped by those who have been playing for years
Should I even bother?
Juan Lopez
That’s an interesting beginner mindset but not strictly true. Over a five game set yes, the more experienced player will win. But I win loads of matches in Soulcalibur against big name people by being risky and doing ‘unsafe’ things to try and catch them off guard. Now if someone is a true bonjwa whose seen it all that still won’t work, but it breaks down your hardset rule of it ‘always’ going to the more experienced player. Hell in tournament sometimes a player will bring out a weird pocket pick that’s not strictly a counter just to sneak a win in the last game of a set against someone they’re struggling against. See Infiltration picking Hakan against PR Rog at Evo for USF4. What I think you’re actually trying to say is ‘I’m not experienced enough at this and it would take a lot of time to get to that point compared to other games’ which is true, and I don’t say that as an insult, it’s a legitimate hard rule of the genre to swallow. I learn as I play and do well, but it is frustrating to know that in order to really get better I’d have to spend hours and hours in the training mode against a dummy looking up frame data and shit. I have a job already, and that just feels like more work when I want to have fun. But you can still have fun with fighting games without resorting to that, so long as you find people of a similar skill level. Therein lies the bigger problem, fighting game communities nowadays are so barren.

Christian Morgan
Im pretty much op,tried to get into fighting games but I don't think I won a single match in years. Last one I tried was doa6 demo but if I got hit once I could never escape the corner. Too much losing makes me drop the game after a while thinking it might not be for me. Lot of games do this but its up to you whether you want to stand up and fight or quit right there.
How many times have we gone through this show and dance? Outside of adding literal forced RPS like Reversal Edge in SCVI the more experienced mind will be able to use fundamental concepts to outplay the scrub everytime. Blocking, punishing, whiff punishing and zoning are all that are needed and ever will be needed. It'll be autocombo and a revenge mechanic, that's all it ever is
That's just not true, even if the skill gap is massive no matter how good a player might be there will still be times where they guess wrong a bunch of times back to back and lose a match. Luck is always a factor, that's why it's better to have longer sets. That's a hypothetical anyway, in reality the players you go up against won't be that much better than you.
Eli Jenkins
In most games teching purely on reaction is near impossible, you need to anticipate and read.
Cameron Miller

Asher Anderson
Well upsets do happen at tournaments. A more experienced player doesn't know absolutely everything.
Thomas Nelson
You are not looking to improve if you sincerely think this. This isn't even a competition thing this is just basic skill learning. The world owes you nothing, you need to seize what you want in life be it skills, a job or a win.
1 frame? Definitely, no game or character should RELY on that, I should be able to use Bryan without taunt jet upper or Sagat without 1f jab links. 2f gets a bit spotty, online its pretty hard but offline its consistent. 3f is actual scrub level.
Caleb Lewis
I know for a fact that my friend is the mechanically superior player out of the two of us, yet I beat him quite regularly because I have a much stronger grasp on the mental side of the genre. All the execution in the world cannot save you if your opponent reads you like an open book.
Eli Roberts
>every semi decent player is one n done >have to babysit noobs who friend me and keep whining all day when they get bopped even though all I do is hold back and anti air to actually get matches now FGC a shit.

Henry Thomas
"I paid $60 dollars for this game, I should have the exact same experience as you regardless of how much better you are" this really is a pretty common modern game design trend, and the reasoning behind it usually is to polish the first experience of the game as much as possible, but it usually takes out everything that makes games interesting.
Ethan Gomez
I dont see one and done that often, but then again, i also have the habit of rematching players better than me and be glad 6f matches take the win and run, that shit is annoying.
Juggling your bitch ass around isn't "experience", its basics.
A decently skilled gamer that learns well could pick up a fighting game and beat an "experienced" veteran within a few days, if all the veteran has to show for it is "experience".

I've been here since 08 user, started with SF4 and Melty. People were hungry then, I used to have longsets all day.
I can't do this nowadays even though I've completely transitioned to anime with BBtag or DBFZ. Its a long bore of either waiting in ranked or in a lobby for the types of players who I described in my previous post. It gets so tiring after you pass that "new game, new stuff to discover" phase.

Easton Hughes
Nope. Reflexes are directly tied to your experience in the situation. The more you practice something the quicker you will be able to execute it as you use less and less of your conscious mind and more and more of your motor memory. Slow reflexes is on the surface level a good excuse but just falls apart upon any inspection. Literally just translates into “i dont want to practice.”

well, build orders are strategy. but the issue is anyone can learn build orders without strategizing as well. the same can be said of FGs as well though.
if you have enough "power" then there is no need for thinking. that's how it is against weak players.

20f is more than reactable for the average person unless you're playing online, as long as you're familiar with the animation. Reacting to 7f grabs is literally impossible for anyone.

To be honest the real problem with fighting games is they don't function nearly as well online as the do offline, and if you don't have a local scene you're kinda boned.

Landon Bailey
practice only helps you with combos and conversions (and learning timings i guess). those are important but you also need to think about your general strategy and how to play your character and a matchup. as well as adapt to your opponent in game.
if you don't think about that you will lose every time to someone who does do these things.
