Also /v/:
>spams coomer threads 24/7

>>714441210 (OP)
Because to get gud at them you have to spend a lot of time in training mode and that is boring af

>sakura with big tits
Kino

>>714441210 (OP)

>a woman in a bikini isn't porn.

ERM.... HER NIPPLES AREN'T SHOWING, CHUD. THAT MEANS ITS TOTALLY NORMAL TO SIT IN FRONT OF MY COMPUTER ALL DAY DROOLING AND JERKING OFF AT IT. DON'T LIKE IT? UGH, LET PEOPLE ENJOY THINGS

Show this to your boss it's totally normal to do so There's no nipples showing so its not porn. You are scum and I hate you

>>714441210 (OP)
Because they're an inherently inaccessible genre.
It's a genre where its players have to react, analyze, take decisions and then execute in the span of a few miliseconds, something very few human have the required genetic design for.

If your boss is a blue collar boomer odds are he'll have pinups way racier than that hanging his place of work, doubly so if it's a mechanic

autistic obsession with copying street fighter ii instead of building a 1 v 1 game from the ground up
>everything needs back to block
>needs high low block, no other nuance
>pressure still build around frames on block

>still have stand normals and crouch normal even though no one crouches in a fight in real life wtf
>one martial art that has a low is getting on the ground like bjj but no one goes prone outside of smash
>zero games have a greeco roman wrestler which is the on thing were you even slightly get down low while on your feet

>jumping is still moronically tied to the anti air rps
>even anime games with greater air mobility still have it as some sort of high risk option just with a cascading system or counters for your opponent to play around rather than just being how characters naturally traverse the stage

>speaking of which no one has ever made stages interesting in a way that meaninfully changes how players think about the game
>its always just stage hazard zone stay away from here
>or some gimmick like you can move here at this part which just become considered as the standard movement like those snk games

>also combos are the same dumbass shit
>player 2 can't do anything while getting comboed
>lame
>best thing is a combo breaker which just gets reserved for the best time to use it very little thought involved

Offline multiplayer games

It didn't, you just wanted to post lewd but apparently you don't know you can do it without trying to hide it anymore, lewd threads are very popular.

Steroid abuse.

Just kidding. Tranny meds abuse.

>everything needs back to block
yes actually block buttons suck

>>714441387
training mode is fun as hell though. there's always something new to find with your character

Tempting bait

>>714441210 (OP)
not enough irl fit women

Kicking female fighting characters in the crotch
Punching female fighting characters in the crotch
Stomping female fighting characters in the crotch
Grabbing female fighting characters by the crotch

They have one of the very steepest learning curves for new players to overcome before they can start having fun. Which is compounded by most fighting games and their communities doing very little to smooth out that learning curve.
Add in the fact that most fighters released have a 1-3 month shelf life before people go back to their SF6 or tekken.

End result is the number of new players getting into the genre is the same or less than the existing players getting out of the genre. It basically can't grow.

>>714441210 (OP)
Started going backwards with every new game

anotha one I found out today
uni is a masterclass in player expression fr on god

>>714442319
god damn bitch, calm down

Only 72 hours until Harada unleashes his latest creation. Is your main ready?

>>714441210 (OP)
tekken 8 failed hard. not fun at all. i been getting into soul calibur 6 now instead and i really like how it has a spear fighter girl. wish it had more players though

You ha e to be turbo unemployed to be good at them

FPBP

>>714441210 (OP)
they didn't? you failed and gave up if anything, I still have fun with them

>>714447443
Except most tournament players have real jobs because they know it doesn't pay the bills and you have to travel a lot
But what do you except from a fighting game thread on /v/ yet again filled with people who don't play them talking out their ass

>>714442319
You are a GIGANTIC faggot, holy shit.
It doesn't even matter what percentage of this shitpost is ironic, the very fact that you typed it and posted it is enough.

>>714443415
>>everything needs back to block
correct
>needs high low block, no other nuance
I played SNK Heroines so I can confirm this correct too, also you forget left/right still exists
>pressure still build around frames on block
what are you even saying here, you want it to be about frames on hit so it's either oops all ToDs or for everything to be super minus so holds matter in a DoA esque way? DoA is great, but I wouldn't want every single game to be DoA.

The rest of your issues seem like stupid memes, it's still a fighting GAME retard. You seem like you want EA UFC "games"

Sex with fighting games.

Sex with tl;dr comic strips.

Generally when people say a genre has stagnated they tend to have the most retarded ideas imaginable on how to “improve” it

>>714441210 (OP)
it's the rage, frustration and time investment that keep me away
>be me
>haven't played fightan in 2 years
>reinstall sf6 early this year
>never play, only glance at it as I choose to play other games in my library
>uninstall just to not see it anymore
I installed KOF 02 UM and GG +R, maybe I'll have better luck in trying to get myself to play these 2 games eventually

>>714441210 (OP)
as overall games, fighting games just aren't that great especially compared to the countless other options. If you aren't getting into the kinda competitive side then they usually aren't worth it

Greco-Roman wrestling with Cassandra.

SoulCalibur is the only FG series that I play.

>>714447143
Hilde?

>>714453643
I think he meant Seong Mi-na.

>>714453841
Yes I mean Seong

>>714453841
>>714454047
oh

>>714441210 (OP)
Simple. Nobody wants to do 100 hours of combo practice in training room before they can actually start playing the game.

>>714453287
Why rage?

>>714454312
You couldn’t land that combo in a match if you tried. Just do easy combos

>>714454047
Btw "Seong" is her surname and "Mi-na" is her given name. Oddly enough, "Hwang" is Hwang's surname and they don't list his given name in most places like they do with Mi-na, probably because Mi-na's father is still alive and more important than her setting-wise.

>>714441292
Damn I love Jews now

Because you need to do 30 years of catch up just to be decent.
Ain't nobody got time for that shit.

Friendly reminder that it literally doesn't matter how fucking braindead and zoomer friendly devs make their games (like Dix and Tekken 8) - people will STILL parrot shit like this >>714456097 >>714454312

truthnuke...

Fighting games don't explain their own mechanics through gameplay. It's very hard to get better just by playing the game, the optimal approach is to read guides and frame data and lab autistically. Back in the days of the arcades and human interaction, the expectation was that more experienced players will teach less experienced ones. Nowadays that's gone because everything is already written in a guide that's available for free on the internet and people just get told to read that. You can see the internet killing human interaction in this way in many other aspects of life, not just fighting games. They just get disproportionally affected compared to other genres because they've always been about "difficulty through obscurity."
