@Oaghaji I really want to play 3rd Strike but fighting games are one genre I will never really understand

@coolboymew @Oaghaji Nothing wrong with just learning to beast on the CPU (at arcade difficulty) first

@guizzy @Oaghaji the problem is that I'm struggling with learning the basics. I tried Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 recently and I got bored through my mind from the tutorial

@coolboymew@shitposter.club @Oaghaji@shitposter.club It's one of the better ones to watch, but getting even passable at it is quite an effort.

@VBurner @guizzy @Oaghaji Yeah, side fighters like Smash and such would probably be more my jam

Kinda sucks that Smash online is so terrible. My entire game is around split-second bullshit timing. Can't do that with the poor online

@coolboymew @guizzy @Oaghaji you might actually like Tekken 7. It's quite approachable.

@coolboymew @Oaghaji They're not that different from Smash in that they're about spatial control. You're just playing in a shoebox rather than a living room and you don't have nearly the mobility, so your moves have to be a little more calculated. There's no shame in learning how to use button inputs before you even attempt special moves in combos, in fact, learning based off of what button press works when gives you a leg up on someone trying to showboat with their combos and inputs. Why risk a Shoryuken when a simple crouching HP or standing HK would do?

Trying to learn Third Strike and starting with parrying is like sending your 6-year-old to his freshman year at high school. It's fucking tough and even high-end players struggle with doing it consistently once the moves hit rapidly enough. The Daigo vs. JWong clip is fun and all, but it doesn't really represent what the game is like. It's two top-end talents showboating. You're better off just blocking and grasping what moves to do when, how to punish blocked or whiffed moves, and when to jump before you even approach it. When you get to where you can pull off a few characters' bread and butter combos consistently and get the basics down, then I'd start with parrying.

@guizzy @VBurner @Oaghaji Maybe, but I'd rather just play more Smash instead

I tried the Nick game and oooooof, that game is rough. Thankfully I got it cheap in a bundle
