How do i get good at Fighting Games?

The games are made hard by making execution hard, and fundamentals difficult to understand without hours, research and other shit you'd only waste your time on if you loved the game. If execution were easy then only an incredibly deep understanding of frame advantage and fundamentals would determine the winners. It's unlikely that such control schemes are born out of a need to pad out the game so much as the idea of easy to execute fighting games is a relatively new idea. That and it would lower the skill gap in a way that would piss off veterans and make pulling off sick combos and badass comebacks unimpressive. Fighting games are a delicate balance, and will never be especially popular again. No one has the patience or the time for that sort of thing nowadays and it's only going to get worse. I don't even have the time for it.

First post worst post. Fighting games don't take that much longer to git gud at than any other genre, they just feel that way to you because the competition is more direct. For example, I'm a fightan newfag and I have a roughly 25% win rate in UNICLR ranked after 35 hours of playing the game, and I haven't done any "extensive research" aside from looking up my character's good moves. You're just used to games padding your losses with team-based multiplayer, progression, and unlockables so losing in a fighting game feels worse to you.

Furthermore, I can't think of a single multiplayer genre where you would expect to have a >50% win rate in randomly-matched 1v1s with less than 100 hours in the game. This whole "fighting games are super complex and hard" meme is just perpetuated by people who only play team games and aren't used to actually losing matches.

>25% win rate
>good
Jesus Christ user I can at least do a 60-70% win rate in SF5 and I know I'm shit.a. The relative amount of time you have to play a fighting game to get good at it versus anything but an rts is absurd and you and I both know it. As for executing combos correctly, and consistently, as well as countering them properly using the ideal punishes--yeah this shit takes a long time to learn unless you're a natural. It's worth the effort if you love the game, but that's the only time it's worth the effort.

practice and have people outside of randoms to play with regularly

You have the talent gene or you get crushed beneath my heel.

>100 hours in the game

DAMN THAT BITCH GOT SOME PANCAKE NIPPLES

I don't mean that a 25% win rate is good, I mean that I think it's a pretty reasonable win rate considering the amount of time that I've put into the game. People act like you can only win games in fighters with an encyclopedic knowledge of all game systems, and dozens of hours in the lab, which is totally false.

Imagine that you had never played a shooter before, or only had passing experience with them, and you hopped on Call of Duty or some other normie shooter and started challenging 1v1s to random players in the lobby. You wouldn't expect to win most of your matches until you had gained an understanding of the games systems and mechanics, which probably wouldn't happen until 50+ hours of experience if you were new to the genre. It's the same type of deal with fighters, but for some reason they're some totally different animal in people's imaginations.

Yes not only would, but I did. Shooters are so simplistic a retard can pick them up, and the fact that other people aren't good at them just makes them easier kills. Shooters don't have complex systems or clever mind games, or at least Call Of Duty certainly doesn't. Just have faster reflexes and you win.

Adding to this I was a fucking 10 year old when I started dominating shooters. They're made for retards. Fighting games actually require me to put in effort.

Play against humans and ask for advice.

By giving me that source.

the first thing is asking anyone but Yas Forums

>You don't, and you play better games.
This.

>hue monkey
>pink nipples
lmfao yeah right

>We're talking hours and hours stacked on hours unless you're some kind of natural
Or you know, an hour a day for a week or two.
>Learn your options on wake-up.
>Practice anti-airs.
>Practice pokes/confirms
>Practice a BnB combo.
>Remember that blocking is okay, and hitting buttons randomly will make you eat shit.
You don't even need to know your match-ups to get "decent" at fighting games, you start with the fundamentals and you can start having fun. You might not get wins right away, but the first time you pull a combo you've been practicing for hours off in a real match, it's a wonderful feeling of progress.

Alternatively, you can do worse than just looking up fighting game "fundamentals" on youtube to get you in the right mindframe.

just play smash, it's fuck ton easier. not sure if it's considered as a real fighting game

fighting games are a life style. sounds gay as fuck but its true. its kind of like working out or playing an instrument or something, you need to consistently practice for long amounts of time before youll see results. some people (mostly everyone ITT) just aren't cut out for it. u really can't be a bitch and u gotta want to learn after losing

Is there any fighting games with good air movement that people play? I like Arcana Heart 3 but literally nobody plays that game. I tried to get back into Blazblue but it's a lot more boring to play.

You have to learn all of Smash's bullshit on top of learning fighting game fundies not good advice desu
