I don't get why fighting games require years of hardcore wrist training or a loving robot hand or some poo poo. Like, I respect the idea of them but they need to lower the barrier to entry on that poo poo somehow.

I mean really

your friends should activate their burning hero spirit and take their loss as a chance to grow more powerful than you could possibly imagine

I get extremely frustrated when I play fighting games because I've always been pretty competent at anything I pick up without much effort, so I've never really had the experience of devoting a lot of time to something and getting better at it.

yeah i don't get this. i can fight the same guy over and over for a hundred matches and lose every time and still be ready for more, but other people i've met lose once and just immediately quit. what gives

This is me with every fighting game. My friends don't invest the time I do so I completely crush them, then my own rear end gets crushed when I try to fight a rando online.

I grasp the full mechanics easily and I have good reflexes, but I don't memorize the deeper combos and finger-gymnastics required to be high-tier.

Dunno OP. I like Tekken but I can't play it, firstly as I don't have my disk anymore since it broke in half, and also because I don't know how to. Bye!

THIS. It removes all the stupid autist execution bullshit and focuses purely on the psychology of the game. Brilliant.
