Is this the end for me and fighting games? I have no idea how I can actively play with any awareness if I'm wiped out after work.

Is it just weekend play for me now?

I do, I'm just bad at them. Doesn't stop me from buying ones on occasion and playing around with them.

Commissioning a piece with the best couple in the world soon. Any ideas for poses?
I think I'd like it to be a bit more cute than lewd, but I'll take all suggestions into account.

The genre is 2pre-planned4me
I tried playing a couple of titles and 90% of it was memorizing moves, optimal combos, frame data, cookie cutter setups, punishes, matchups, etc. and just executing it ad nauseum every single match. And if you don't you are playing it wrong because there's always one correct way out of any situation or character. You don't get better for playing the game as much as you get better for sitting in training mode memorizing boring shit.
I like regular games like shooters or mobas better where you just learn what the parts of the game are and play organically, improvise, adapt strategies to the opponents, try new stuff and can pretty do whatever in the moment and it's usually not a total mistake outside of deliberate trolling. I never had to "training moide" anything to improve in any other game, I just fire them up and play.
Some people like booting up games and doing the same thing over and over I guess but it's not for me.

This when I realized I missed the chance to actually learn fighting games from my godly brother. I actually regret not just sitting down and learning tekken. I'd probably be having infinitely more fun with fighting games than league.

Leo fucks THAT!?

Some truth, but some hard memes also.

Dude, it's never too late to start you just have to put time in. He'll probably always have an edge, but you could absolutely step to him if you try to get there.
No, he does not. Ram and Giovanna both show interest in him. Gio is obviously going to pounce on him first, though.

You are very fucking wrong but I understand why you see fighting games that way.

I fucked up my wrist so I'm taking a break.

Wake me up when Strive:
>Makes official outfits for base female cast that isn't censored
>Make Testament look like a male again
>Get rid of RWBY like music

Have you tried playing 3D fighting games instead

>paying someone to draw something for you
cuck

Play good fighting games

On the flip side the training mode grind is a great casual filter that'll ensure fighting games are never fundamentally compromised and true to themselves

I want to get a drawing and can't do it myself. There's a lot more dignity in paying someone to do it instead of hanging around in a draw thread dropping the same request every thread for weeks until someone caves.

Sure

I don't play fighting games very often because I'm bad and have nobody to play with, and infinitely fighting randoms online gets boring fast.

I thought so too until I started running into regulars at my current rank

What fighting game

DNF Duel

>+R niggas have to beg for games
lol

>Find fighting game that looks interesting to me
>It's console/arcade only
Is there an active PC game like Virtua Fighter 5?

Tekken and Strive are most active on PC. SFV is (likely) more popular on console but its crossplay so it doesn't matter

Not really, no. VF5 is very much its own thing. The big 3D fighters are all noticeably different from each other.
Reread his question more carefully.

I had to reread his post like 10 times before I got it, I'm pretty fucked up after like 4 hours of straight SFV

imagine how bad it'd be after 4 hours of homo SFV

I can get games whenever I want

>good enough to wipe the floor with my friends
>not good enough to hit top rank in match making
I was stuck at floor 10 in GGS for the longest time
I can't deal with the grind anymore, I'm becoming an old man

The true key is to learn to have fun in matches where you lose.

I love Soul Calibur so much more than any other fighting game and could play it 24/7 but nobody else plays this fucking game.

>be too young
>never have the chance to play because you can't get your quarter in line
My local arcades were shit and filled with assholes. Only game I had the chance to play was Primal Rage and I guess it's why that piece of shit has a place in my heart to this day.

why will no one play 3rd strike with me

Everyone larps about playing 3S, no one actually does

play it with me

I don't play boomer shit

SCVI is unironically the best fighting game out right now, but the fact that the previous titles sucked so hard made it so the series didn't garner as many pro players as the other fighters, and now SC pays the price

Why do you like it so much in the first place

But drawing is fun....

Go to bed earlier, don't masturbate. I am writing seriously, try this, you will see cool effects.

>don't masturbate
Why

I can confirm.

Learn to defend and tech throws, silly.

>Want to play fighting games
>Internet speeds are atrocious in my area

I enjoy watching the matches though.

Speed isn't really the issue for fighting games, it's more the jitter that you get with wifi or a shitty connection

Because 3S is just a bad kusoge that nearly killed its own franchise for many reasons and is only heralded by contrarian posers who never actually play nowadays

>kusoge
Meme buzzword with no meaning anymore.

I can guarantee you the first time that you walk out of the corner by going under someone jumping/IADing in you're gonna feel euphoric.

>Playing online edition/30th aniversary
Move to fightcade, the player base is over 500, you can find a bunch of players that will play with you.

No, I don't think the mechanics are fun.
