>>12798753cope. plenty of people with jobs and families play fighting games at a higher level than you ever will
>>12798768Name 10. Oh wait you can't.
Cave and Psikyo shootersThat is what I like, anyway
>>12798775YouTube just recommened me a video today of some doctor winning a Smash Bros tournament (I think it's the retro one, didn't watch the whole thing)
>>12798775The only one I'm gonna bother naming that you've heard of is Justin Wong. Man's a software developer by day with a wife and a daughter and he will smoke you.The other 9 would be people I know from around the way at locals, regionals, and majors, none of whom you've ever heard of. All have careers and families and they'll shit on you.Every big name you may know like Punk or Tokido or Mena or whoever, fighting games are literally their job. They get paid by their sponsor to be on the roster and they bring in streaming and YouTube revenue, likely grossing more in a year than you've ever seen.Writing FGs off as "NEET games" is you coping with being ass at them by telling yourself the only way to get good at them is by doing nothing else with your time. Just ain't so, I'm afraid. Sorry bro.
>>12798863Damn, you mut be small if the melee sisc is that large for you
>>12798901And even he gets to clap cheeks
>>12798863damn this meme takes me back to 2014
>>12798753how is an arcade fighting game "neet core"?
>>12798970only neets bother to play them for any significant lengths of time
>>12798980I've been in the FGC for many years and most all of the players have jobs. Some are wage slaves, some are skilled professionals. There are NEETs sure, but they are a minority of the players.
>>12798984Also NEET excludes education, and quite a lot of FGC people are students of some kind.
>>12798986They study the blade
>>12798863Man, look at the digital crust on that image. How long you had that?
>>12798984every FG player with a job is ass.
>>12798792? he asked about fighting games, why the fuck are you talking about smash
>>12798753any exploration heavy game that is slow paced yet not too complex. So games like Metroid Prime, King's Field, Mega Man Legends, ICO, Elder Scrolls Oblivion, etc.
>>12798807>Every big name you may know like Punk or Tokido or Mena or whoever, fighting games are literally their job. They get paid by their sponsor to be on the roster and they bring in streaming and YouTube revenue, likely grossing more in a year than you've ever seen.What a sad state of civilization that that can be true.
>>12799316if your opinion doesn't also extend to literally every entertainer of any kind anywhere on earth you're being incoherent.If enough people want to watch someone do something at a high level, that person can support themselves monetarily by doing that thing in public. Acting, music, the arts, sports, fuckin yoyo tricks, all of it is in the same bucket.If you have ever paid for an album or a movie ticket or gone to a game in any sport, you're a dumbass hypocrite who should feel stupid.
>>12799348>If you have ever paid for an album or a movie ticket or gone to a game in any sport, you're a dumbass hypocrite who should feel stupid.I've done none of those things since they can be accessed for free.
>>12799395you can lie to me to save face all you want but you know the truth and you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't examine the incoherence of your position and adjust your beliefs accordingly.doesn't make a fuck to me either way.
>>12799080I can literally name llod, Full Schedule and Nemo as top fighting game players (Full Schedule had a flash in the pan in umvc3 and had legitimate destructive high level skill) with real full time jobsi also chose to stop sweating fighting games in my spare time so that i can learn to draw better. active choice. i'm pretty good at fighting games - and now i'm getting good at drawing. what tangible skills have you developed in your spare time other than pornography organisation, advanced masturbation and optimised doomscrolling?
>>12799448never heard of any of those bums ever.you're autistically obsessed with fighting games so I'm sure those names mean something to you but they're nobodies.
>>12799472>every fighting game player with a job is ass>name specific counterexamples>literally tell you i'm not playing fighting games>"never heard of them, you're autistically obsessed with fighting games"so my read was correct, the only tangible skills you have are gooning, scrolling, and re-inforcing delusions that your opinion about shit you know nothing about means anything
>>12798753Yeah well the jerk store called, they're running out of you!
Unemployed faggots are triggered by OP.
>>12799478You don't have to be participating in something yourself to be obsessed with it, anon. You're not very bright, are you?
>>12799080Tokido is a medical doctor.Daigo used to be an orderly in a nursing home before he became a streamer.John Choi is software engineer.Viscant is a social worker.Alex Valle used to be a translator in the video game industry. Just some I know off the top of my head. The most notable bum in the FGC is Justin Wong who literally just worked at an arcade until he went "pro". But working at an arcade is still a job.
>>12800328Correction: the translator was a different Alex Valle that people got mixed up with the FGC Alex Valle. The FGC Alex Valle was a nightclub and bar manager.
>>12800328bitter retards will still somehow find a way to say this doesn't count
>>12800334The dirtiest little secret of all in the western competitive video gaming scene is that it is a rich kid's club. How do people think college-aged young men were affording to travel all over the country to a half-dozen or more tournaments per year? These people became the most familiar faces and the "Fighting Game Community". Occasionally one of these rich kids would sponsor a highly skilled player to travel with them as a sort of stunt, which is kind of how Justin Wong got his start. There are historical mirrors for this even, look up the history of professional golf players and gentlemen's clubs. Same goes for Chess too.
>>12800342Rich kids also sponsored skilled "big name" players to come to their tournaments as a way to get more people to attend. In turn the rich kid gets to schmooze with the name player and gain what they really want: social validation.
>>12800328all them niggas washed bro.
>>12799348>>12799434Comparing movies and music to watching some fag play a game is a genuinely retarded comparison. Maybe vaguely comparable if you were watching a home made video of a single person on screen for the entire run time or a person singing on camera with no additional background music.
>>12800524Not much has changed since their era.
>>12800727I mean they all used to be top dogs in their era, now they washed. Valle too busy fuckin cosplayers and bumping coke at majors for example
>>12800695entertainment is entertainment if enough people found watching grass grow to be entertaining, people would be paid to give them something to watch. Just how the world works
>>12800906>Valle too busy fuckin cosplayers and bumping coke at majors for exampleUncle Valle is a family man and those days are far behind him now.
>>12800919that ain't what I heard
bump
>>12798863I reset my Melee play data sometimes so i can reexperience the first time i unlocked everything. Same with 64.Shit's good. (No i don't play in any tournaments, just solo, friends, and netplay.)
