I feel like I missed a button press explanation during the tutorial or something because I auto-aim when I draw my weapon but the aiming is tough to rely on at any point after that. It was also like the first action game I played on PS3 after playing exclusively PC shooters so there's that. I was fine with RE4 though.

Forget "good," I can't even do well in loving Arms Race because my bullets don't appear to actually do anything 50% of the time

Also: all trading/collectible/whatever card games, including Hearthstone despite everyone telling me it's baby's first M:TG

netrunner is a loving shell game; hoep u pick the right server on your first two tries or your opponent is a moron otherwise get ready to suck digital dick

edit: hearthstone now double sucks because of the shitball singleplayer campaign that awards cards you can use in multiplayer

Just one more level
The Dirt series of racing games.
Console shooters with dual joystick controls.
Fighting games that aren't super smash bros.
Most 4X games.
Any game with quicktime events, seriously gently caress quicktime events.

I prefer turn based things as I don't like having to strategize on the fly and can just take my time.

My strategy is to play as juri and pinwheel and divekick the entire match then I pretty much always lose. What am I doing wrong (besides everything)

you have the right idea but you want to confirm before pinwheeling, try doing a ducking medium kick and only pinwheeling if it hit

divekickin' is always good

hit confirming will make you go from middling to ownage

edit: also use her fireballs a lot because they're legit, if you hit with the hard kick one and immediately release it, it will hit them in the air

I also hear I will enjoy my eventual switch to USF, something about buffing Waifus



e. 3DS version is the best. I don't even care if it cuts my framerate in half you get that juri sideboob IN THREE D

in general

if you are playing a fighting game and getting hit, figure out what your opponent is doing and steal that thing. try to learn to defend against that thing. if you do that enough you will Get Good. hit confirm (ducking medium kick is usually a way to do it) before doing big moves, play safe, learn from your opponents. the rest is psychology

shoutouts to sleeps and dandyj for teaching me a lot in the yix

street fighter is great because you just focus on out maneuvering your opponent and doing simple links and you can beat every scrub in this thread without knowing how to red focus combo or anything.

duck and light kick people a lot and you'll probably win

don't do hard punch and hard kick moves in any game unless you know they'll hit because instead of a sick move you whip out a big sign that says PLEASE HIT ME AFTER BLOCKING THIS MOVE
