How long does it take to get good at fighting games?

Fighting games weren't niche for a long time, in fact they were some of the most mainstrewam games around, the problem is with the quality of the games and becoming too bogged down by snowballing mechanics.

See thats why I fap while playing

While i jog your memory does smash count as a fighting game?

Smash counts as a fighting game only technically and is absolutely on the fringe. It absolutely should be lower priority at FGC events when it has its own shit.

I don't know, I've never played smash. But I do think Samus is hot.

Snowballing mechanics? Pretty much every modern fg is more focused on making dumb comeback mechanics.

Depends on how much work you're willing to put in.

If you go to locals, play against players of your skill level or higher, and attend tournaments with the intention of improving, not long.

If you only play online and or rarely attend tournaments, it will take a good while.

The longer you spend with the game the better you will be.

And this only counts quality time and training of fundamentals and the like.

100 hours of training fundamentals and learning your character is going to give you a far different result than just playing against people and never using training mode.

personally around a dozen hours of practicing basics to get better then absolute newbies. varies on what game to climb up rank mode but usually around 20-40 hours learning your favorite character combos and play style.

Like actually good? 1000-2000 hours minimum. It's no different than learning a language or instrument or how to draw.

Just decided to get into fighting games. Are there usually more players on PS4 or PC?

Attached: 144ac8f2bc369fe309407accb0245c3d.jpg (900x1213, 102K)

Depends on the all important natural talent factor.

Depends how much time you dedicate as said, isn't different from learning a instrument or draw.

It can be like 3 months or years.

PS4 for any games this gen. PC/Fightcade for older games.

Difference is one is a skill with value and the other really isn't. But always do what makes you happy imo.

Given the OP, I doubt you're actually serious and just wants your daily SF/Juri fap thread through

Depends on the game and how much you want to pay to use Sony's shitty online service.

Not everyone plays to get good. Ton of people just pick up as hobby.

Playing like a hour per day aren't going let you go to EVO but at least you aren't going get wreck by shitters that easy.

It determines on what type of game you're playing.
UNIST is active on both with anons happy to play you in.
Tekken is more on PC I think.
Don't know about Blazblue.
BBTAG is PS4 I think.
DBFZ is both.
Rev2 is PC.
SNK Heroines is dead.
FEXL is dead.
SC6 is both but I haven't played on PS4 since January so I don't know.

3rd strike room is notorious for having faggots, personality wise, so just bear with it. If it'll motivate you, get better so you can fuck em up.

I just decided to git gud at fighting games too OP. I bought a fight stick and SF 30th Anniversary Collection because I want to master the basics on the classics. Every day I've been drilling spacing, movement, special moves, combos, cancels, etc. on SSF2T and 3rd Strike. Its really fun, even though I'm getting bodied in almost every match. My win % is around 20%, which is an improvement from the first few days.

Juri Han but with her hair down
Hair down Juri is best Juri

The bar for "good" keeps going up forever, probably faster than you'll ever approach it. Fighting games are 90% legacy skill, and the current good players are constantly practising and improving themselves, most likely a lot more than you or anyone else here will.
If you just want to get to the point where it's fun though, where you're not just button mashing and are actually playing the game, it doesn't take that long. Just don't expect to win any competitions.

About 23 minutes, minus piss breaks

Thanks for the info.

Yeah the games I'm most interested in are Guilty Gear, UNIST, and Tekken for modern stuff. Also want to get into Melty since I'm already invested in that series.

In terms of getting gud at fighting games it really just means practice as much as you can.

Attached: 1542078684759.jpg (1200x1027, 118K)

if youre serious and you focus on like locals/tourney play and avoid online like the plague, as well as getting in quality lab time as frequently as possible, you'll be a force within two years. if nothing's shaking by then you either didn't actually practice or learn as much as you thought.

Why does she have a finger covering her navel?

Imo using training mode doesnt help with fundamentals. It will help you with your combos and muscle memory. Setting the CPU to fight will have the computer just doing whatever it wants. It isnt going to pick optimal moves, it will not teach you to read the psychology of the opponent, will probably do plenty of unsafe shit rather than real strategies that will teach you about neutral or fighting those characters.

That's how it is
I knew I would get bodied picking kof98 and I knew it would be 100% mexicans, but I didnt expect them to be dicks about it.

Fighting games create a lot of big egos you'll find

Longer than it's worth, and you may very well just not have the finger speed or coordination to pull off insane 740-hit comboes

Depends on what level of knowledge you're starting at. If you don't know what "links" are, then you're going to have a loooong learning process of maybe up to a year. Otherwise, could take a few weeks to months of dedication.

It is and noticed that by due time, don't even touch it anymore

This is just misinformation. Only "anime" games have long combos, and they're much easier than they look due to the ability to chain normals and late cancel lots of things.

Slower games, like KoF, Street Fighter, and Tekken have very short combos and rely heavily on neutral presence and understanding of basic gameplans.

I never have.
Any time I start to get good at a fighting game people find a new hot fighting game and start playing that. And when I switch over to that I have to re-learn a bunch of stuff so I never get to the "got gud" point.
It sucks.

3rd Strike is a shit game played by shitlords primarily, don't feel bad.

I'm running out of cum, goddamnit.

Tekken 7 is a predictable follow-up to a series that's never aimed particularly high, it may please casual gamers for a day or two but the stagnant ongoing series is definitely in the second tier of fighters way below Capcom or NetherRealm Studios games, and it's seriously getting old and tired. The lack of depth and subtlety and the emphasis on the offensive, rather than the defensive, puts this squarely two notches below the best in the genre, the "who-can-get-their-super-move-off-first" gameplay leaves much to be desired from a serious fighting game player. Like the prequels, Tekken 7 is geared towards casual gamers and anyone who's been exposed to more technical, more dynamic fighting games will quickly pass on tekken. Other top fighters, namely Street Fighter, DoA and MK games have advanced impressively in their latest installments; but the relic that is tekken just can't seem to evolve, furthermore many combos can be done simply by hitting 1-button, and the nearly "instant-kill" rage art moves are just laughably broken. Instead of a supplying a proper fighting engine, matches in T7 seem to rely heavily on "who can get their rage move off first". So many elements of the gameplay don't even require any sort of skill. In my book, slow motion over and over again also gets old very quickly. And in the end, it's more of a novelty or gimmick rather than an actual, thought-out fighting game mechanic. But hey, the casual crowd will be pleased!

If you want something a little more "button-masher-friendly," tekken might be your cup of tea.... Key word, might.

Rolento outfit

Jesus Christ

Real question is why is this artist posted so much

Tekken is undoubtedly above NRS in quality, it's a bit janky in the whole frame data-technicalities department but the inputs feel satisfying as fuck, the combos are dope and the game feels fluid and fun, maybe competitivity in that game may be nothing but a meme but it's got it's merit of being fun, way more fun than NRS

That's a copypasta

Depends on the game. Street Fighter sucks so don't bother with it.

PC. Anyone that says consoles is a netplay casual repeating a generation-old sentiment because they don't know any better. PC ports have become the superior way to play for almost every game so all the good players have made the switch.

Don't know why everyone posts Chun's thighs when Laura in her battle outfit costume has easily the best and most pronounced thighs in the cast.

40hrs to get tolerable
200hrs to get decent
1000hrs to get good
presumably 5000hrs to be a pro but I am not there yet.

you know that thats a mod, thats not her original body

That depends entirely on many things

>your natural talent and reaction time
>having a good offline community near you
>how much you play with very good players
>having the right mindset
>not trying to flowchart/autopilot
>trying to eliminate bad habits
>trying to copy the pros
>how intelligently you use training mode

Infiltration became a world champion in sf4 within a couple years and there are still retards that have been playing FGs for decades but still suck ass.

I'd say the most important things are natural talent, not being a fucking retard, and playing good players in long sets offline.

I really want to get into fighting games but I get instant anxiety playing against others online. Any way to better cope with this?

Play offline

Should I playing rank or quickmatch if I'm trying to get better at Jump Force? I just started and I'm getting destroyed, I've played like ~50 games and won 4.

The thread is about fighting games.

and I made a post about a fighting game.

This, the ego of some of these guys are obnoxious. They will also blame everything when things go wrong, the first is the opponent's internet being bad, because it's never theirs despite having bad connections for the past 4 or 5 fights. I also like when they go "you arent supposed to do that! muh input didnt read GAAAAAAAME"

if you are serious about it you can beat any scrub friends you have in 10 or 15 hours
just pay attention to the mechanics of the game and master your character movelist at least
if you want to ''good'' years
if you want to get really good decades

Not him but it teaches some fundamentals of fighting decently well even if execution is same-y for most of the cast.

This. Also i have no qualms just playing the AI. I love fighters. Just have fun

thoughts?

Long enough that if you picked a non video game skill to practice you could make money off it but not a load of money.

I dunno I feel like I'm always climbing
Also no other games are fun after you fully dip into fighters. There are some absolute shit fighters that made me disgusted with the genre (DBFZ), but after 3 weeks of not playing I got bored of all the other games I tried and went back to KI and fightcade.

10 minutes watching footage of pros, 20 minutes practicing what they're doing. Gets me at a moderate level fast.

PS4 for every game unless you live in Russia or some third world
SFV and KI have crossplay so those games being "dead" on PC is not a problem

kolin makes me rock hard

Shame about her face.

literal years if you're not a turbo autist and are above the age of 20

Whats better for single player content, MK11, Tekken 7, or Soulcaliber 6? I like games with a lot of unlocks and modes. I also love when every character has an arcade mode story.

You're not winning back the money you spent to enter Combo Breaker, friend.

SFV

MK11

MK11 is a shit game, but it does have a lot of singleplayer content.
SC6 if you want a good game.

Or just emulate SC2 for RUMORS.

Dumb trick but it works- I pretend I'm playing against the AI. Immediately my heart stops racing and it's like yeah yeah, whatever, no big deal. Placebo works.
