they are too autistic for most and their playerbase is either aging and never existed with clout chasing retards that don't even play them be one want to be in with something as posers because of Evos

anyways, the problem if fighting games is not even that they are hard, people love Elden Ring but with Fighting Games it seems pointless to get gud since the game doesn't even reward you for it
being devoid of solid rewards for it with shit single player, what do you get for being good in a fighting game? a big cock in your mouth, as for other games like Elden Ring, you progress to finish the story
and another thing is fighting games are usually unclear of how to get good in it within is own context look at

this is never even hard to do but I would first think the command is
>left, right, diagonal left down, down, diagonal right down
when it was just
>right, down, diagonal right down
and is like wow, that was fucking stupid, how was I supposed to know that on some DSP shit, istg only rivals of aether had a proper tutorial for good fundamentals so you don't have to hold
your friends hand in order for them to be competent in it

bit of some backtracking being anti-sweat nowadays contributed to this so now is more frowned upon to "study the blade" while playing a fucking videogame
and to be honest, as it should be, is not healthy to spend 1000 of hours to compete in a stupid fucking videogame unless you get paid
though maybe that would solve something, what if outside of EVO and such you can get paid to be gud like online gambling and have wager matches?

tl:dr fighter are usually lacking in good tutorials and rewarding drive
