99% of Yea Forums can't do this

Why would I want to? Fighting games are depthless games with no meaningful single player that you can win just by spamming duck.

>no meaningful single player
That's not why people play fighting games.

People find it difficult because the symbol is misleading. It fucks up their brains and they get confused.

Z motions are unironically the easiest with a keyboard

How is it misleading?

Or you're just too used to using keyboards/hitboxes

Yes, they play them to win by button mashing harder than the opponent does. Like I said, no depth.

You're either colossally retarded or this is bait.

I have no clue what you think that image is supposed to be. It looks like you're almost doing a Bloody High Claw backwards.

Isn't this misleading for controller/dpad?

I legitimately remember a thread someone said to not actually play fighting games and just watch tournaments because getting gud was too hard. This is Yea Forums now

A good example would be CJ truth winning the red bull invitationals. I don't know about you, but that was nothing but button mashing. I sure hope you didn't consider his playing to be "expert level". The fans can argue all they want that it took skill to play, but they're not exactly reliable experts on the matter, since they can't even go one thread without talking about porn of Street Fighter characters. So I can't trust any of their judgements.

This. I figured this out at age 7 playing SF2 Turbo on a SNES. How is it with all the short cut inputs of today that people still struggle with it?

Just watched youtube.com/watch?v=m32MELKW4m8
Absolutely nothing about it is button mashing, its just lame ass SF5 with at the time the most OP character in it.

Not at all. You press forward, then down, then down+forward.

Only if you're the kind of idiot who spends more time theorizing over hidden meanings behind instructions instead of doing literally what you're shown. If you just follow the arrow it's just right, down, down/right. No half circles. No double circles.

>SFV

>match starts
>6 fucking s.HP in a row
bison mains should neck themselves

Stop playing games that baby you

>Absolutely no button mashing
>Button mashes to start the game

Funny joke.

Yes, the best franchise in the genre is bad.

>best franchise in the genre is bad
I mean SFV is trash, but SF is far from the best in the genre.

Thats not button mashing you turbo tard, pic related is button mashing more or less. Hitting RANDOM buttons with no intent on a specific outcome, its what people who don't play fighters do when playing Tekken or SoulCal 99% of the time.
CJ was just using a really good normal intentionally because the other dude kept falling for it over and over like the shitter he is.
The fact that you don't even know what "button mashing" is and is not tells me how much you know about fighting games.

nothing more cringe than smash bros players thinking they're hot shit pulling this off with ryu

T7, UNIST, DBFZ are all better than SFV

this is what happens when you make dp a button

Some inputs are just flat out easier to do on a stick, hitbox/keyboard. Depending on the game and it's inputs is how I chose to play pad or stick.
