you can play A LOT of sf4 without encountering people that are able to do long combos, at least under 3000 PP, but then again I never really got into any character other than Vega so maybe I didn't noticed.

I played SF4 for a while when they were giving it away for free on Xbox 360 and I didn't have much trouble just transferring the skills I had from playing Street Fighter 2 Turbo in high school 20 years ago. The matchmaking seemed to do a pretty good job of pairing me up with similarly scrubby players so I was okay with that.

A lot of it is sitting in practice mode and learning how fast you yourself push the button, and then you push the buttons when you know you will land on the one frame that you need.

I knew a cool person who practiced his SF game for like, two hours a day minimum, he made some serious plays, but also missed a lot of obvious recoveries because when you're into a combo you brain fart and forget the basic strategies apparently.

But he was a cool person and not a fighting game community guy, mostly because of his physical handicap, but that also led to the greatest trolling when Couch McGamer plays against "that gimpy guy" and got handed his three losses back-to-back with one of them a perfect victory.

But yeah, SF franchise is the gamer community cesspool. GG is slightly better because all the turbonerds cry "Anime!" and avoid it, despite it being the same levels of spergy in terms of mechanics. You're bound to find more people playing because they like to play fighting games, but they do still have the bad influences in there, too. They're just lower by percentage or something.

Yeah, this. Honestly I found SF4 to be less frustrating than say MKX where it's nothing but unescapable infinite bullshit, forever.

I'm not actually a fighting game player but I'm pretty sure the combos are more muscle memory than reaction time. You're just supposed to practice until the right timing is burnt into the back of your brain and you don't even have to think about it to do it right.

It's a technically decent game with some fairly good character- sorry, kharakter- design, and the 2-3 hours of Story Mode are pretty great because it's stupid and cheezy and fun, like the first MK movie (and MK9), but the netcode- sorry, kode is atrocious and the basic design philosophy of the series is now, essentially, "appeal to Beavis and Butt-head" in gameplay which means that players are rewarded for playing in ways that are not fun.

To be fair that last part is a problem all fighting games struggle with.

Mortal Kombat has never been a real technical fighting game series. It's just now people notice that in a world where more technical fighting games and people being seriously into them are A Thing. That said, I suck at Mortal Kombat X because there is hardly any rhythm to the combat at all.

All in all though, a great game- even for the manual guy.

Yeah, I really hate the Neverrealm style of doing combos, where you have to mash all the inputs in at once then watch your character do the moves, rather than the more intuitive "match the inputs to the animations" style of literally every other fighting game. It wasn't quite so bad in MK9, but was intolerable for me with Injustice and MKX.

Boy oh boy, Watermelon's finally shipping my copy of Pier Solar on Dreamcast. Only two and a half years since their Kickstarter!

Too bad I no longer have a Dreamcast. Literally any other donation I could have made would have resulted in me playing the game way earlier. Why did I loving kick in for this poo poo? This is exactly why I ignore Kickstarter now. I've still got several other projects floating in the wind out there and god knows if they'll ever finish.

Wonder if I can recoup my money on eBay.
