@Feinmuehrer It's definitely for certain types of people. I used to really be into fighting games like Smash and Rivals of Aether, but my time was slowly taken over by drawing and not-fighting games. Then the friends I used to play those games with went on to tournaments and to really, really improve, while I never improved even though they tried to teach me because I didn't put the time into it. I ended up just stopping all-together because it was no longer fun to just constantly lose while spending time on something I no longer enjoy.

I wish I could like fighting games. A few friends coninced to to try BlazBlue CF. The game looks nice. Watching people play it looks like fun. I want to play things with my friends.
But dear god I suck at it. 200 matches and 30 hours in -a time investment I expect something from- and I haven't gotten the moves of the single character I play as down. Hell screw the moves, I don't even got the fucking controls down. The entire concept of using input chains instead of just a bunch of keybinds just seems so fucking retarded to me. I'm used to having 30 spells and items at the ready in an MMO but trying to input various circles just doesn't work. I struggle pressing A on my controller. I don't even understand the bloody movement as that's even more inputs that are also the oney I need for attacks, so even more inputs in a chain. I can't fucking remember what attack buttons do what when. There is no noticeable difference in my playing with my eyes open or closed.
This is all ignoring the presence of an enemy that I have to block only to still be hit or grabbed, that spams from a range I can't answer at since I can't move in a proper way or just jumps around me like mad.
And my options are either play with my friends who so vastly outskill me that they wipe the floor with me when they use new characters (despite all of them not standing a chance against even players in beginner tournaments) or play against bots. Which is so mind numbingly boring that I'd rather go and spend that time studying.
Playing against my friend is just frustrating and I find myself being annoyed when it's my turn to play again. Usually I come in late and leave first. Make me feel like an ass and they know I leave because I'm pissed after loosing for the 20th time in a row that day, every day we play.
Not sure what I except from writing this but it's too early for bed, thought I'd be playing longer. Didn't feel like it so I quit after like 6 matches today.
