    One thing I love about SF6 is its theme of strength, or the path of getting good, will be long and never ending. It's in the dialogue, the aesthetic, the lyrics and it's so good and endearing. Capcom drills that theme with every player and I'm all for it.

    This shit right here is my selling point on fighting games. If you can feel that internal XP bar as Woolie calls it then these games will hook you. For me the idea of a literal infinite time and skill sink is completely worth the investment as there will always be more to learn or improve. If you've ever found enjoyment in learning artistic skills or musical instruments the feeling is much the same and hitting that level up feels SO FUCKING GOOD

  • @Roronoa2zoro
    @Roronoa2zoro Год назад +7

    This has honestly been my biggest hang-up with fighting games for a long, long time now. I never feel like I learn anything when I lose. Or it's less that I didn't learn anything so much as I just have no idea what I'm doing wrong and therefore have nothing to go on when trying to get better. So when I've played and keep losing I'll switch up what I'm doing, but without any real insight into why I need to do it different beyond "it's not working" and then if it ends up working 1/20 times I still have no idea what made it work. "I don't know what I did to win" is another thought that's plagued me with these games.
    I constantly feel like I'm just stumbling blind when I play fighting games and that's a way bigger obstacle for me than whether I win or lose.

      Sometimes it feels like you're not getting it when you actually are. It's like studying for a big test thinking that you're running into a wall over and over with no way of learning anything, but once someone quizzes you they can see some of the results.
      Check your replays. Your mistakes will become much clearer and you can improve from there. If you truly want to get better, rewind and check what you did wrong for yourself.

      I definitely feel this way with most fighting games, SF6 has been my best experience with them so far with the modern controls, it lets you focus on strategy a lot more.
      I think something im starting to realise as well is that fighting games aren't about having insane split second reaction times. You're not expected to respond to individual attacks within 1 frame to counter them in some way. It's a lot more strategic than that, the questions you should be asking are often more like "what should i do when someone is being super aggressive - how do i block this mess of attacks coming at me, how do i get them out of my face, when it is safe to counter attack, etc".

  • @F_lippy

    I haven't been able to get over this for most of my life. It doesn't matter if it's in person or online, if I'm getting punished or literally JUGGLED by my opponent it instantly turns me off and makes me not want to play again. In mosts fps its an instant to die and sometimes its an instant to get back into a fight. I tried hard to get into fighting games with MvC3 and SkullGirls, but the hard fact to face that most fights are honestly shut outs just drives me away. It ain't fun for anyone if i don't know what I'm doing and my opponent has to end the fight as quickly as he can, and like Woolie said it doesn't feel like a true win if your opponent doesn't know how to stop you from just eating their bar for free with one tactic or the other.

      @yaboiiunclephil1552 Eh, I see what he's saying. If you get blown out to fuck, you don't know how you messed up, just that you did. Like, my first few online matches in Skullgirls, I got double perfected each time. Outside of the first hit, I had no idea what I was supposed to do, or where to improve, cause it just looked like one long combo to me. Was that low kick a new combo I just didn't realize? Fuck if I knew.
      Or maybe I'm wrong, I don't fuckin know

      ​@Eidlones you might want to try out some tutorial modes. i started playing fighting games in like october? of last year, started on sf5 and didnt rly know much of what i was doing, but got guilty gear strive in december and the tutorial mission modes are rly helpful. they show u how ur character is meant to be played, what to do in specific common situations, some combos, etc, and i'm getting better and competing with friends who have been playing longer than me. fighting games arent for everyone, but jumping into online while barely understanding the controls will get you frusterated (ive been there)

    People don't really talk about it since it doesn't really apply to higher level play, but when I was starting out in strive the post-match rating chart was really helpful because I was able to measure my success against it more granularly. While SF6 doesn't have that I think you may be able to use the metric of how often the in-game commentary says stuff like "Can't let them jump in like that, gotta anti-air!" I know Woolies ideal for that kind of system is a lot more specific and individualized, but I can't really see something like that being accurate beyond really low levels where you can give very general advice.

    • @UndeadGary

      Recently we’ve been able to have huge leap forwards in pattern recognition in A.I so perhaps that tech could be applied to a teaching system, feed an A.I enough data of EVO matches and I’m sure it could comment on performance with a fair degree of accuracy, I think the main problem is how do you convey that information effectively to the player.
      I always liked to picture a system that recorded your matches and kind of like a teacher grading in red overtop an essay, you could have a phantom version of your characters (similar to ghost races in racing games) overlayed to show what you could of done in a given scenario, that way you could see both your fight and the A.I corrections simultaneously when viewing the replay. You could also have the inputs displayed as well as maybe general advice tips like you mentioned. I just think these are the sort of thing you can only teach visually, otherwise it’s like trying to teach visual arts by word of mouth of alone.
      I’d have no idea how that’d work and I’m merely spitting techno babble but seeing how this technology has been applied already far and wide I can’t help but wonder how it could improve video games like these.

    i struggle so much with this that i always drop the game whenever i keep getting absolutely dumpstered on that the 1 win i get in the day doesn't feel like this. i fuck up every single thing i thought i learned and then i just end up tired after having lost every single game. it's probably because i'm playing 3rd Strike where people have a decade of experience over me but it's really the only fighting game that i like, and this hurdle is so hard for someone with no muscle memory or game-sense.

    Feels like my brain's broke because it only ever focuses on the strings of losses, and even when looking/thinking back on losses and seeing exactly what went wrong, it's like it can't process what went wrong enough. Actually trying to learn from mistakes DOES work, but it never FEELS like it does, it just feels like I've pulled improvement out of my ass and it doesn't feel fun.

    I just won my first ever match in casual yesterday and I felt so proud of myself after playing like 20 matches and losing all of them. Also this only happened after the guy kicked my ass 5 times and then he beat me again right after, but now I've won ONE match ever in a fighting game lol.
    But yeah that whole idea of the 'invisible XP bar' is actually why I like Monster Hunter so much. Yeah you can grind out better gear and stronger weapons and whatnot, but nothing will compare to the feeling of just reading a monster so well that it almost feels like you're dancing with it more than fighting, casually juking moves when the monster isn't even on screen because you just know what it'll do.

    A thing that's different from experience in real life and in video games is that not only is there an EXP bar in video games for your character that doesn't exist like Woolie said, but in real life your EXP bar goes up when you LOSE, perhaps even MORE so than when you win. In video games it usually only goes up when you win. Which means a loss in real life is often better than a win.

    I had a couple of REALLY good sets in SF6 that made me come back to think on this clip again. Both sets started with me going 0-2, which demoralized me a bit, but which a few years ago would have made me rage and one-and-done. But both times I took a step back and went "wait, how could I have done that better? What mistakes did I make?" And settled in and won the next two matches against both players. That feeling of constructive defeat really is electric, and I WILL be chasing it from now on.

    For me the 20th win feels like a drain rather than a adrenaline rush
    Instead of “OMG I WON”
    It’s really “finally…”
    Then it’s another 10-15 losses that makes the journey and destination not worth going through.
    That’s why I dropped fighting games. There’s no fun in learning.
    No way to stay interested outside of a cool combo you saw on RUclips or at a friends house.

  • @GuiltyKit
    @GuiltyKit Год назад +1

    This kind of sums up my problem 100%. When I buy a game I sit down the practice and I've been practicing for days or weeks or whatever, and then I go on this 20 game losing streak that's eating up a ton of my free time, and the game that's supposed to be fun is just shouting "you're a loser" at me, it's a big part of why I got off the fighting game train when online became the norm.
    And online became the norm at roughly the same time as I was growing up and getting the career and friends were moving away and I was hitting that phase of my life.
    There is no more couch co-op. There is no more locals. Not here.
    And without at least that human interaction and getting to see other people being happy and getting to talk with them and all that, a lot of the love for fighting games just evaporated. And what make that five thousand times worse is when the game is just telling you that you suck.

    Pat had a comment in his chat (that I know is echoed by lots of others) that said when they lose, it feels like it's because their opponent is simply better than them, and when they win, it's because they're way better than they are. And how it's hard to actually *learn* under those conditions.
    I've been sort of stuck in this purgatory myself, and while it feels good to demonstrate to myself that I understand the fundamentals well enough that I can go 5-0 against someone without letting them take more than a single round, I don't get that RUSH.
    My last match I played last night was a Kimberly that was my exact skill level. Every match went to final round and they were all close (except once I think they perfected me lol). In the deciding round of the deciding best of 3 matches, we were both in critical. They fucked up and left an opening. I've been in this situation before, but choked, dropped a combo, failed to even start a combo, what have you. But I maintained composure and just executed my combo into LV1 and won.
    The exhilaration of winning not only against someone who felt as good as I was, but who could have ended me if I had fucked up my finish, was amazing. I stopped playing right then because I wanted to end on a win.

If you use the ew-gross-elitism DPS tracking tool, you can plug your fight data into XIVAnalysis and it'll tell you exactly what you did, didn't, and need to do for every job in the game. Didn't have your buff up for a specific ability on Monk? It'll tell you that. Too many buttons between spells on Black Mage? It'll tell you that.

    Legit I see where I lost my cool, when I’m pressing buttons, I’m seeing patterns and then at the end of ten losses I get one. I find that moment where I calm down and I I remember the hours in combo training.I’m still trash but god damn I just need one, if you move forward you gain two.

    Like 10 years ago i got into FGs with Soul Calibur 5 (lol) and this dude who was rank A1 (max) would just sit in a private lobby with me and beat the fuck out of me. Like, 0-22 multiple days in a row we would just be in an xbox party with almost no takking except for me going making angry losing sounds. After a few weeks of that it would get to the point where I'd actually win rounds. Not matches, rounds, and keep in mind SC5 runs best of 5 with default lobbies. Felt so good to be able to actually see what I was doing wrong and fix the mistakes I didn't even realize i was making. Also I'm pretty sure i got WoolieVS snackbox #95 so I'm hyped

      I had great memories of SCV too. I put more time into it than any other fighter before or since. I'm hoping that will change with SF6.

    Thats how i felt in Planet Robobot True Arena after getting a almost perfect run (no damage up to Haltmann that Cheap bastard) and getting crushed on the heart of star dream after a thousand attempts, that got nowhere (some deaths to galacta Knight and some to star dream herself after lozing ressorces on every other boss
    Its weird that i play kirby games for the thrill of combat whem most people play them because its cute, thats Why i love the PRRB true arena despite being so brutal, and why i love Star Allies just as much despite being so easy, i don't play Fighting games but that and the original DMC3 Bloody palace are the closest thing i have to This feeling, of losing and learning from it.
    P.S: i've never beat Soul Melter EX, its just too much

    Ok so i have 17 hours in Strive and im already learning and feeling this. I got knocked to floor 2 after 12 losses, then finally got that round and it clicked. I haven't stopped wanting to play since, and the only reason i have to is because my tendinitis is kicking back up. Im on floor 4 now but i want to die at 6 to learn, and i want to try a bunch of new players.
    I get it now, but lets keep going and see where it goes.

    When I had a group of drinking friends back in the mid 2010s our game of choice was Skullgirls.
    We'd get together and play it for 8 hours straight and I was bad at it. My friends learned combos and had their B&Bs and if I played 100 matches I lost 90 of them.
    My friend asked me why I keep playing if I lose all the time and never get titled because he gets really mad when he loses. I told him I just like seeing the game happen and when I play I'm not looking for victory. I just wanna land the cool thing. I'll lose over and over but as long as I land something cool I'll feel like I won

    Fighting games are a microcosm of roguelikes with pvp. It's as simple as that. If you fighting game fans want a real challenge, play a traditional roguelike. I dare you.

      @@WantSomeWhiskey818 they lack execution and have a much higher skill floor and low ceiling. Strive is baby guilty Gear with all of your options gutted. Sf 5 and 6 are baby SF, dbfz actually does just play itself, almost impossible to drop a combo. Bb tag is even worse as autocombos are optimal routes into eachother, all star battle R plays itself and does optimal combo routes for you, and then theres DnF duel which has less execution than dbfz which was already so easy that you cant really make errors unless you're really just goofing off.

      @@Detective_Bonghits I disagree. DBFZ is easier to get started sure but have you seen that game at high level? It requires absurd levels of awareness to get anything done. SF5 and SF6 are still Street Fighter, they have their own executional barriers. Are they easier than 3rd Strike, sure. But they're still hard and require execution. Fighting games are easier to get into but that doesnt equate to "playing themselves" not in the slightest. Same with games like KoFXV and Strive.

    • @Detective_Bonghits
      @Detective_Bonghits Год назад

      @@WantSomeWhiskey818 I disagree entirely. When you raise the floor you need to raise the ceiling just as much if not more. Gutting options and forcing the player into a box so nobody feels "bad at the game" there's a difference between easy to get into and hand-holding. Locking normals in autocombo strings, taking motions out, becoming more lenient on timing might be fine now and then but it's every new fighting game coming out. Everyone plays the same character the same way with little to no freedom to differ and stay competitive. SF V and 6 I don't categorize as playing themselves just that they are much easier and more lenient with less demanding execution. That's my whole reason for playing fighting games. It's about me vs myself as much as me vs the opponent. I need room for error. I need to be engaged. What's engaging about dbfz I might need a super lax DP motion? Oh the humanity how am I gonna hit that consistently better go to the lab. Nah it's brain-dead. Idk why everyone's so cool with fighting games becoming corporate slop to appease the masses instead of passion projects. They all come out in little brother mode and it's on by default

      @@Detective_Bonghits I feel like you’re massively underrating the skill involved in modern fighting games. Also I feel like you’re only talking about DBFZ and Strive? SF6 has a ton of inputs, like have you seen Chun Li’s move list in that game? Shes wild. Also even then, DBFZ is hard at a certain level. Strive is even harder. Games with simpler inputs dont immediately equate to a braindead difficulty like you seem to believe. I wont try and invalidate the way you feel over it, I do feel like you’re blanketing the statement to make all fighting games be ez pz games when they really arent. And even then, if you want to play execution heavy games then there are still options for that? I mentioned KoF XV in a previous comment, Tekken, and there are tons of great indie games getting communities too.

    What I've noticed is that some people have that mentality when it comes to other IPs and or genres. Since I've seen people go SUPER HARD in some games. That 1v1 in fighters is a firecracker, you may jump the first time then it becomes just noise to some after a while. To a lot of scrubs they do take the time to look within themselves when they lose. They know jumping in 5 times in a row is gonna get AA'ed at some point. They know constantly blocking they either gonna get grappled or hit with an overhead.
    Then the biggest problem when people don't know how to lose is because they simply refused to put in the time to win. Like they do not understand what their character(s) can do, yet they expect W's knowing people put in hours in the lab or WT before even touching ranked. Too often the scrub hurts themselves in confusion.
