That's true but hey, everyone starts out as a scrub. It takes time, it only differs by how much time you are willing to put in. If you aren't willing to put in the time then well, I guess it's not quite your thing then.

I'm already trying to do that and still trying to get awesome at Touhou. I don't need another full-time hobby. People seriously go as far as to memorize like recovery times on certain frames, how far each frame reaches, which frames clash where, etc. It's like a fucking science and you can't play unless you're doctorate level in it.

Playing the game and noticing? Oh no, "son", people actually study these and many other aspects down to the finest detail outside of the game. In order to improve for when they do play the game. And if you don't know all of this going in you'll get your ass handed to you until you devote enough time to studying shit like this. I mean just look at this. The fact that this even exists proves you wrong. When I read the shoryuken wiki or melty bread forums or just observe you guys talking about games it's like your swapping advanced biochem formulas back and forth.

Its kind of sad really, both in America and Japan arcades are dying, faster in America though. By 2015 arcades in America will be a fleeting memory. And in Japan, arcades will be on life support, and the plug will be pulled by the end of the year.

I miss going to arcades and making friends. Now it will all be online asswipes who think they're god's gift to fightan games.

It's true. If you want to be good at a fighting game, you really do need to know things like spacing, active frames, vulnerable frames, etc etc, otherwise you'll just get taken advantage of by people that do know these things, aka, all of the top players.

All I ever met at arcades were fuckheads trying to swindle me out of my coins. That and there was always that one dude who never left the Mortal Kombat machine and was always waiting around with a crowd for somebody to plunk down some money so he can show off the hardest fatalities. Thankfully I had my own friends to go with. But yeah arcades were kind of shit. I mean they were fun but playing at home is just that much better, hence why they are dying.

which is, the learning curve is ridiculously high. Such that it's impossible to just casually play these games. If you even want to play Melty for example you have to devote like a month of dedicated practice learning combos and shit before you can even play. That's fine if you like that but it's just not for me, that's all.

Yes. We call them minmaxers. They generally are despised by most other players for being overbearing faggots who suck the fun out of anything they touch.

A couple of things in particular attract them like moths to a light. Mainly D&D, MMOs, and fighting games. In D&D there is about a 50/50 split, but in MMOs and fighters, minmaxing has become so common that it's the rule rather than the exception.

>> No.5365382

SRK is the big name that most fightan fags are disgusted by. Nobody likes to be associated with SRK. It's like being a 4chan browser and being associated with /b/ cause its under the umbrella. SRK members over the past 2.5 years have been huge faggots whose first fighter was either SF4 or BB or tekken 6. And they flood out all the oldfags, who gave up on SRK back in 08.

They literally follow who X top player is picking. Which is why Daigo picked guile in the SSF4 fight club release tourney. Cause he knew that people would flood the Guile forum, "DAIGO USED GUILE, GUILE MUST BE DA BEST IN DA GAME GUYS". When a player does good against big name tourneyfags with x character, SRK floods X character's subforum.

Fun Fact: SRK mods follow orders from capcom on shit that is deemed bannable. And 99.99% of the mods are power mad and abuse thier powers on a regular basis.

But this was before release. Well techinically night of. But my point remains, if daigo went and picked, say Makoto (RIP karakusa > s.HP > SAII > fuki > kara fuki), and he went far with her. People would mass pick Makoto. The term is Netdecking (Yes that's right i tourneyfag YGO TCG). Whatever is popular or big name tourneyfag is using everyone else will follow suit bilndly.

Hrmmm.. I wonder. Flash Metroid is a top player and really well respected, he plays Viper and Makoto and no one plays those. Daigo and Justin both play top-tiers BUT they are very easy to learn characters. I'm sure if Daigo played say El Fuerte, many people wouldn't be following him. Ryu is the beginner character which is why people play him so much.

Viper and Makoto are hard to play. Then again, so are the characters that these top players pick, but people think that as long as they play the character they'll instantly transform into Daigo and be good.
