Why can't people over 30 compete in fighting games? Daigo and Tokido drowned in pools

because they don't spend as much time training or even playing said game like they used to do back 10-15 years ago

this, most of the older legends of the genre are just not that into comp play now, they do enjoy the occassional local tourney or invitational but playing for an EVO spot is really demanding and stressful.
I think the last guy to really care about keeping up well beyond his youth is Alex Valle and hes one of if not THE most legendary FG player.

You can't just keep doing the same shit with the same intensity all your life, especially if it's as demanding (timewise but also stressful) as fighting games

For Europeans and Japanese? No, there really aren't. For people outside US 100k is really really good money that would justify working to the bone.

I remember messaging in Valles twitch chat years ago something like 'props for making top 8 at evo in samurai showdown, giving hope to the og's"
he responded by saying 'they made a game based on fundamentals & footsies'
fucking based

These aren't related. Tokido was playing JP, a character he hasn't been performing well with, and Daigo hasn't been a consistent top 8 contender in forever. Also, Xiaohai was in top 8 and is over 30.

Probably because the games are just shit now. I don't want to agree with a retarded shitter like LTG but the truth is that all video games are much more casualized because of video games becoming more and more popular. You went from making a game for like 2-3 million people to making a game for almost half of the people on Earth...which a high majority of those people are casual shitters. And they aren't going to continue to buy your game if they aren't having fun, getting blown out, getting their asshole turned inside out every time they turn on your game because most of them don't have 8-10 hours a day to spend mindlessly grinding or training.

On one hand I get it because people have an actual fucking life outside of video games and don't want to spend 8 hours a day like a fucking job shift, grinding or practicing some game.

On the flip side, crying or whining about it is bullshit though. If you spent 2 hours a week playing guitar and some dude spent 60 hours a week playing guitar, obviously he's going to be fucking better at playing guitar than you. In these scenarios people have no problem being shit or someone being better than them....but then you introduce video games into this scenario and suddenly retards think they're entitled to being good at games even if they don't put in the time or effort and to me that's bullshit.

People don't respect playing video games as a hobby, that's the reason. They just view it as a mindless way to pass time that should be immediately fun and that's it. Another reason to do with fighting games in particular is that someone needs to have a decent understanding of the game to even know what's really going on in a tournament match and which plays are actually impressive. In recent years the devs realized that barely anyone has that understanding and made their games full of cinematic cutscene bullshit to draw viewer's attention instead.

Street Fighter is now more reaction based to appeal to the FPS/Fortnite kids. The devs know most of them can't beat boomers in neutral, so mechanics like drive rush and perfect parry were designed to minimize the time spent there.
