By the way (pad guy here), not much experience with SFIV, I play mostly KoF up to 11 (12 and 13 are garbage) and have no troubles doing anything. But like I say, I've also been playing pad since the early 90's and fighters are one of my favorite genres.

Not that everyone doesn't like to look at attractive people, but women in general care far more about self confidence, honesty and strength of character than physical strength. That's why I encourage you to step up and stop wallowing.

What makes you unattractive isn't that your bowels are bloaty and uncomfortable, it's that you let them ruin your life. If you are open and honest about your struggles but show that you handle them like a champ and persevere despite pain that actually makes you more attractive than someone who appears to not be struggling at all.

Everyone knows on an instinctual level that bad shit is around the corner. What makes someone attractive isn't that they've been lucky enough to have avoided adversity so far, or that they can hide it really well. What makes them attractive is how they deal with the adversity they've faced already.

You're right that you will never be that guy again, but you have the opportunity to be something better. It's not going to be easy, because life isn't easy. But that's the point. Do you let the shit that happens to you strengthen you or do you use it as an excuse to give up?

It's a decision no one can make except you, but I highly recommend strength.

>Pick up and play games with cash-skips are casual.

That part is true but it's not what he said. Not only microtransaction games are casual. MK is the original casual fighting game. My fucking mom played MK in the 90's and could do Mileena's man eater fatality when she won.

That doesn't make it bad, I've always liked MK better than Street Fighter, including MK9 over SFIV, but there's no arguing that it's objectively an inferior game. Even the playtesters who did the Mortal Kombat 9 podcast were sick of how broken it was by the end.

That doesn't make it bad for casual play and it doesn't make it bad that it's casual. Smash is the exact same and that's why it's so popular. Pick up and play is great, but saying it's secretly better than a serious fighting game is ridiculous.

The problem with SFV is the same problem with vanilla SF2, Alpha1, SF3NG and vanilla SFIV. They always cock it up the first few times and then usually refine till it's among the best around.

I think it's a lame series with mostly stupid characters, but there's no denying it's quality. And it's obviously as popular as it is with good reason.

Also remember not to get your panties in a twist if what you like isn't the most popular. I spent many many happy months whooping ass in Injustice even if it was never going to be as popular or tourney worthy as some other games.

I can still do Orochinagis and pretzels easier on a DC pad than anything else.
