The last fighting game I bought was Soul Calibur II on the Gamecube, because it had Link in it.

Everyone should buy Tekken 7 on PC so I can learn from more people how to block better by losing to them! I was gonna get GG Xrd Rev 2 on PS4 but I think I'll wait cause Tekken is so good.

Actually I think I bought Divekick when it came out and played it for about 5 minutes, so that's my last fighting game.

I may try to get in some Tekken tonight, but I am almost entirely clueless on 3d fighters since I haven't played one in years and was terrible then as well.

Fighting games are good because if you lose the only person you have to blame is yourself instead of 4-5 other people. It's also helpful to be reminded that you are bad at video games lest you become too egotistical.

Yes and every one of those people is just lashing out because deep down they know they have failed and can't accept that.

Y'know, in general I think I'm a happier more accepting of flawed games person for the ironic reason that I assume that I suck when I'm sucking rather than assuming it's the game or other person's fault.

Sometimes I can lose a bunch of games in a row and that's frustrating but then when I actually think about it I'm like "wow, my amazing strategy of doing the same attacks over and over in the same exact way somehow didn't work, who would have guessed."

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.

I wouldn't say you can "blame" the other person for your loss but it's definitely because they hit you better than you hit them. It's fair to acknowledge the other person's role in the loss; If your opponent didn't hit you so much you would have won. It takes two to wombo combo.

I'm being facetious here but the only competitive video game thing I can think of where you can blame no one but yourself would be racing against your ghost to beat a time trial. You can walk away from any competition you lose thinking "Man, that was all me. I can't believe I turfed it" but you can also walk away thinking "If only those other people did worse I would have won." Which thought you give more weight to defines your character.

The worst type of player is the one who believes that there is a "right" way to play a game and thinks that any variation should be against the rules or is cheating. You hear about them in statistic games like Texas Hold 'Em or Blackjack, and if you've played Smash or Goldeneye with a group of people there's probably been one who insists on imposing their rules, particularly when they lose. I was at a party a few months ago where people were playing Melee and a guy got real mad about the settings after he lost twice. All his whining did was kill the mood.

I think it's telling that I've gotten all the endings in Chrono Trigger and Lavos is still fun to fight.
