How are people still circle jerking le ebin arcades, or dooming about them dying as if they havent been dead since the ps1 dropped and made them irrelevant

If you were playing the 90s you only tolerated the arcade because until ps1, consoles hadnt caught up. After that any game you bought, you stopped going to the arcade for

But fightcade emufaggot zoomers preach about the muh arcades, but they know nothing about them

who the fuck is still talking about the death of arcades 30+ years after is happened?

>>12542943
Candy cab faggots, they talk about them as if arcades didnt die literally 30+ years ago

in order to get good (actual good) at a fighting game you would at least need 1000+ hours thats what? 20 matches an hour? 20000 matches I would say. Assuming a win rate of 50%, later on closer to 80% but to make it simple lets just say 75%. Thats 5000 matches that you have to pay for. Japanese arcades are something like 100-200yen per play so lets assume its 150. 5000x * 150yen = 750.000 yen (4700 usd) to master a single game. Fucking great idea of money and time spend ngl.

They really are the scum of the retro video game world. Trannies the lot of them. My favorite thing is when they talk about exa lmao that shit is like one of those mini retro consoles artari or sega shit out and then those faggots go LOOK MY FAVORITE COMPANY IS STILL MAKING CONSOLES

You can hold your own and have fun at about 100 ish hours in, or less if you arent retarded.
>>
>>12542983
as someone who spend over a decade with this genre on ggpo/fightcade/locals and with probably over 2000 hours into this hobby I can tell you from not just my personal experience but also from others that the very first few 100 hours are NOT fun. you get your shit pushed it and half of the time you are struggling with controls more so if you try learning a stick but I guess that depends on your standards. anything other than a 90% win rate is borderline not fun for me.
>>
>>12542973
Exactly. Its always some kind of delusional cope with these fucking contrarions.

Arcade niggas have the same sunken cost bias, and have a bizarre allegiance to a dead, irrelevant platform that never cared for them. The other parallel is how they go LOOK IN THIS ASIAN / 3RD WORLD COUNTRY THIS PLATFORM DID A LITTLE BETTER

these stupid candy cab fags have never actually been to nippon, it doesnt look like an anime convention with stepmanias and guilty gears everywhere, 99 percent of the arcades only have claw slop. And even when these arcades have the games guess what, no ones fucking playing them, guess what theyre all running on a pandoras box anyway

You shouldnt play pvp games if you feel that entitled to win. The better player should win. If you plsy regularly for a couple years should your experience not give you the upperhand?

Maybe go play fucking mario party

>dropped
People put it upside down because the lens kept failing for everyone after a year of use or so, but if you dropped it the moving parts would surely broke.
Only cart-based consoles could survive a drop

thats the only genre of games I played in the past 20 years. I dont enjoy single player games.

Let them feel part of something, even if it's distorted from reality. They got a shitty culture to grow up in

we should've bullied you retarded millennials more. all this time and you still think it's cool to act like a retard and obsess over other people.

a) is this another trolling thread made by a mod or a bot?

b) arcades are still alive here , though mostly UFO catcher shit and the gambly types of shit. and pokermons. if you meant 2007 and before, yeah they were still alive but totally getting graped by LAN shop gaming. and then LAN shops mostly died as GPUs get more expensive and people got cheap broadband nets to download stuff or multiplay at home. i didn't care what the console gaymers think about that. PC gaming was king in the 2000s, and i was already emulating 16bit consoles and having a blast.

c)i hardly played fightans on consoles, or PC, or emulateds or arcades. i'm a driver, i drive. i also played too much light gun games and shoot em ups. arcades used to have variety for everyone.
d)emulating fightan games is fine, you full retard. let people have their fun.
>>
I swear half of this board is people bitching about what other people like. Easiest thing in the world compared to actually playing and discussing games
>>
A major cool thing about arcades is that they're a room with like 40+ games you can try out. If you liked it you could go home and buy the console version or whatever. This marketing opportunity is really lost and zoomers don't understand a world where you don't have access to every type of media via the internet.
>>
I pity you third worlders who didn't live near an arcade and enjoyed the peak of it. Imagine being the best player and have 10+ consecutive wins over every other challenger and being known as the resident arcade champ.

I stopped going to the arcade because they stopped making interesting games to play, not just because you could get similar graphics at home with the PS1. Arcades died because all those devs stopped making games for it, and why would they when the technology was good enough to being it to home consoles? We did get some good arcade games later, usually shit with some massive machine like ddr or star wars, but they were always kind of simplistic because the idea is that you really only play it for an hour or two before you need to leave, so games had to be quick and relatively easy, which meant not very long and not very many interesting mechanics.
