are fighting games considered dead in this day and age? what would it take to reinvigorate the genre?
>>738795560More single player content and story focus, 99% of the players are casuals who drop the game after getting rekt online the first few matches.

no
Fighting games are inherently inaccessible due to two reasons: >They require mental speed, reflexes and hand-eye coordination very few people possess: we're talking about being able to react, analyze a very complex situation and then execute the correct maneuver in the realm of milliseconds. >Like MMORPGs they require an insane amount of time investment but unlike MMORPGs said time investment isn't gear and stat grinding but simply the genre's basic learning. Anyone interested on the genre has to spend thousands of hours in practice mode / laboratory mode, memorizing frame data or watching tournament footage. It's one of those genres you can't simply pick up and learn as you play. So they're niche by their own nature. Which isn't a bad thing because you only need two people to have a match.
>>738795560because they just aren't fun.
>>738796503>gooner>not coomer or c-umbrainback to twitter you newfag nigger. kill yourself
>>738797554are you new or something? why did you spell cumbrain like that?
>>738795560AWOOGA!!!
>every thread>HOW DO WE SAVE FIGHTING GAMES>point out how to save fighting games>NO NOT LIKE THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM BUT HOW DO WE SAVE FIGHTING GAMESYou get rid of the retarded fanbase, clearly.
Fighting games are more alive than ever, however, 90% of the players happen to focus only in SF6.There's a lot of fighting games being made and released nowadays, some get more mainstream attention like Invincible VS or Avatar, and there's a lot of indie stuff as well, but again, everything that's not SF6 ends up being niche.
>>738801340>Fighting games are more alive than ever, however, 90% of the players happen to focus only in SF6.Then they aren't alive at all. Street Fighter isn't a true fighting game.
>>738795560Honestly i wish i could be her...
>>738801340>Fighting games are more alive than ever
>>738801551Responses like this are so fucking boring holy shit. Not even a creative shitpost, just "uh no it isnt"holy fuck you are a boring person
>>738796569>tranny games saw the biggest increase
>>738795560Why is Mai the most generic gooner fighting character now
>>738802463Trannies love Vsav?
>>738795560>>738801340>>738801875>>738802183So boring
>>738803007>nowThis is also an effect of fighting games being more alive now too, people just now being aware of Mai as if she wasn't already one of the sexiest characters 30 years ago.
>>738803070that is THE tranny game
>>738803070yes
>>738795560Weirdly SF6 captured a big audience with baby mode controls and a big story mode, and Guilty Gear captured an audience who believe they look and sound like Bridget. They aren't dead, but there's a question of whether one will appeal to fans of older fighting games, or piss them off in an attempt to court a different audience. Sometimes you end up with a 2XKO and don't get either one.
>>738795560they're simply too hard
>>738795560Unless they adopt an SF6 style modern system, I have no interest in them. I'm a noob at these games. Which normally wouldn't be a problem. But in this genre, if you're a noob, you don't even get a chance to play. You get combo'd to oblivion while never getting a chance to fight back. And I have no interest in spending dozens of hours learning combos or mechanics. Games are supposed to be fun, not a second job. Street fighter though has a quick tutorial and is very pick-up-and-play. I was able to reach gold in ranked using modern controls. Also, nerf throws.
>>738804058Retard mash mode games arent fun, because theyre shallow, losing to retards who mash in modern isnt fun, its humiliating and punishes players who got good.
>>738796503Why don't you kill yourself? You're clearly miserable if you're so broken that seeing a sexy girl makes you mad.
>>738796503It's her KOF13 artwork you stupid son of a bitch
>>738804058Maybe Marvel 3 quickly devolves into "I got hit once, time to watch the opponent combo me to death." Most combos actually end with both characters alive so both players can actually make decisions that can decide who wins. Blocking right after a knockdown helps a lot, and there are usually plenty of other options after getting hit with a combo that can fuck up what the opponent is trying to do. If there genuinely isn't one, the game sucks and nobody should play it. Otherwise, getting hit usually leaves someone down but not out.
