It was really funny how when Wendy's was laying off employees and replacing them with automated kiosks all the internet cared about was sexualizing their mascot because of Funny Marketing Tweets.

This is a kweh-stionable post at best. All the old games were updated to "kweh" anyways, so I'm not sure you premise warks on the face it.

I'm so glad they're using the Xrd style for licensed games now and a Persona 5 Arena looking like that is an actual possibility.

Fighting games are easiest to get into if you don't have a particularly high opinion of your gaming skills and are already well-accustomed to failure.

I played exactly one fighting game for any real length of time from 2000 to May 2017.

I will have played three in June 2017, if you count ARMS as a fighting game

my brother is really into fighting games in the sense that he always buys the new ones and has a fight stick and he usually plays them for about a week before he forgets about them. i think his latest obsession is king of fighters on steam at some point.

Arc System should make a persona fighting game where they let me play as characters from persona 1 and 2 such as the longinus unit or hitler-in-sunglasses-armed-with-a-spear or a boy with a guitar or steven segal

Alternately, there was that neat thing arc system works did where they made a one piece 3DS fighting game that could play against another 3DS fighting game they made that starred dbz characters so you had cross-matches between both games and that was cool and it would be neat to see them be able to make more games to fit into that, like maybe a jojo game.

I am the same, but it's been Tekken 7 of late for me. I want to play GG and KoF but don't have the manual dexterity for it and am too old to develop it.

The only fighting game I play is the Smash Brother, so I can beat up my favorite Nintendo mascots, and I don't think fighting game people think it;s a fighing game anyway? Also I am not good at it at all.

As long as fighting games continue to make 'jump' 'up on the stick' I will probably continue not liking them.

I hate that I'm too used to the airdashy dial-a-combo anime fighter to get into slower, more methodical stuff like Street Fighter. Mainly because the fighters I like usually have way smaller playerbases.

When's Skullgirls 2 :saddowns:

I prefer airdashers to ground footsies games but its not the speed. I like when games have all kinds of weird systems that are just a blast to figure out playing some people in a discord and that comes more often with the anime

Fighting games are about the only genre I've tried playing a million times and just can't get into. I played SC2 on the GameCube a lot because of its dungeon mode but I only managed to get anywhere by spamming cheap moves (e.g. Talim's 1-2-3-vault combo or Link's anything). I dunno why, it just doesn't do anything for me. It's Mak0rz' One Inaccessible Game Genre.

Unless Smash counts, but that plays so very differently from what I consider "fighting games" so I dunno.

Smash has its own stable of crazy obsessive grognards who I think are widely regarded by other fighting game communities as the absolute worst

I've just learned not to care how how other people play their video games but I don't play with Project M/tryhard players because they're not going to have any fun kicking me into the sky over and over again before I can move, nor will I have any fun while they concentrate intensely instead of getting drunk and laughing when some player accidentally walks Fox off the edge.
