Why are Europeans so bad at fighting games? It's always Asians, Latinxes, and Americans getting the top spots.

Fighting games?

>>211690512
Do you... not know what those are?

>>211690512
You know, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, etc.

We put all of our points into FPS

>>211690571
Why though? Was there no arcade culture in Europe?

>>211690630
At least here in Sweden, homes got access to personal computers really early so a lot of us grew up with a PC being the main gaming station
I was born 94 and arcades were gone by then

>>211690809
You were born in 1994?
Damn unc

>>211690809
The 90s were the golden age of arcade fighting games so I can see how you missed out.

>>211690876
Heh... let's just say I rizzed a few grinklers in Ohio on gyatt, skibidi senpai ;)

>>211690809
Born in 93, I can attest to that. My parents had a minitel before I was born and by the time I was old enough I was playing Fifa 1999, Freddi Fish, Pajama Sam and Spy Fox on our computer.
Nobody I knew went to an arcade

fighting games are based

Europeans only play the yearly FIFA game on their Playstation.

>>211691283
Facts. Watching EVO is a million times more entertaining than watching a CS tournament.

>>211691641
I'm watching Fatal Fury on CEO right now, a Puerto Rican just won the first match in pools. Feels good, man.

Impossible to play fighting games here.

>>211692298
Were you on Wi-Fi?

>>211692298
Fighting games were always meant to be played side by side with your rival.
Online play rollback is a meme for incels

>>211690630
>Was there no arcade culture in Europe?
No

>>211692394
Not as I recall it.
But it was ages ago though so hard to remember (whenver BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma Extend came out).

>>211692452
True.
>>211692498
That's kind of sad.
>>211692513
Look for locals in your area then. Best I can think of.

I don't think you know the population density of Australia.

there's always some exploit that experienced players use against everyone even people trying to learn. it's a very sweaty genre, although Soul Calibur was a good series for a while.

>>211691283
Fighting game pinups are based
Fighting games have been shit since they made frame links and cancels into a feature
And still left input buffering inconsistent for retard reasons

>fighting games
I thought the point of these were to pause the screen when chum li did the splits so you could see her underwear and then masturbate furiously before you turned off the console in post nut shame.

We had an internet cafe/LAN center culture and given the economical situation it just made sense. In 1996 the equivalent of a single USD can give you an hour of internet cafe time in my country, while an arcade machines needed a quarter, the arcades just didn't stand the chance given the price disparities.
I have a lot of fond memories of playing Counter-Strike and Warcraft 3 custom maps from that time.

>>211693279
soulless...

Unlike Asia and South America, Europeans don't take fighting games seriously because the arcade culture doesn't exist in Europe from the beginning.
They gave everything they had to Counter Strike.

So many unc in here shit is crazy

They're not as popular here unfortunately.
We used to be RTS autists, then MMO RPG and FPS autists, then MOBA, and to be honest I'm not sure what kind of autism we're at now.
