Is there any genre more retardedly childish than competitive fighting games?

People who come to anonymous image boards to gripe about things are in no position to talk about what people "in the real world" do or do not care about.

You're just mad because you're so awful at fighting games.

Competitive gaming of ANY genre requires near-autistic levels of attention to detail and memorization and exploitation of the most advanced mechanics.

Seriously. It's a down-the-rabbit-hole situation. These people do NOT play games for "fun."

They start doing it for fun and for a while the genuinely enjoy it, but then it becomes more of a social thing, and then if they actually get good enough and start winning and earning money, then pressure comes in and it becomes a job.

I'd still say most of the FGC enjoy their games, but for examples korean SC players, they do not, they take it as a job.

That's not really true. Some people actually just play with their friends after school or in their free time or whatever frequently and start to get really good. They then either naturally (through play) or "unnaturally" (through looking things up on the internet) start to integrate new techniques in, go to tournaments and so on. It sounds weird but some great players of games don't really know what frames are or how to do basic advanced moves because they just have such a solid foundation from playing all the time for fun that they never had to force it. It's the same as teens getting great at instruments with no formal training just because they play with their friends all day.

Of course forcing it is more likely to work, so most people who get to the top do so. Just saying not to doubt trial and error. A person doesn't have to understand why something works to know it does.
