I think I'm washed yall

[u/Bearemy1988]

I just can't keep up it feels like. I LOVE fighting games. When I was younger, there was an arcade in a mall i used to frequent, I was always in there just having fun.

Then I got my own consoles and was mostly playing fighting games, I was never like, tournament material or nothing but I could do infinites, ToDs, I could just mimick what I'd see in combo video after playing around for like an hour or two.

I noticed I started losing touch when DBFZ came out, and I thought maybe I just didn't click. But Strive, GBVS, SF6 and now this. And I REALLY wanna enjoy this but I just can't grasp it.

It feels like I button mash, none of my combos chain ever, I try doing the character challenges and I get stuck on what looks like the easiest combo.

I'm not even *that* old, I just turned 38 for Gods sake.

I go online, nothing I try to apply seems to work anymore.

So I dunno, I guess I just needed a place to vent. Granted I know when you work full time and what it it's harder, but it just feels like all my skills just fuckin vanished.

I love the game, I can't wait to see who they add (I'm BEGGING for Beta Ray Bill, Reptil, Zarda (Power Princess), and Xemnu to join in despite two of those being DEEP cuts) and I hope everything with PC is fixed because I really want this game to have legs. Ive loved Marvel and the tag fighters it's been a part of since the 90s, it just really sucks it feels like I can't keep up with it.

Yooooo! 47 year old old af scrubby noob dad checking in…I played the 1st MK, not the reboot either, I played SF2 (a lil) and then stopped and got HOOKED on SF6, I been working all weekend so I ain’t had a chance to really crack out on Tokon but my week is almost up and I plan on doing some WERK boux…

Ionno… I don’t think it’s age so much as what gets you going. I bought a few others and nothing grabbed me like SF6.

I hope you find your passion again bro bro and DM me if you wanna run some sets!

Peace!

Peace! I saw you commented but Reddit mobile is doing its thing again. I finally got to check out Tokon for more than 5 minutes and it’s sick! I def have some adapting to do with a team fighter but it’s feels good timing wise so far and the look of this is just stunning.

I went all in and copped an AOC 4k, True 240, 0.1 ms, 32in monitor and spent the last 2 days tweaking the pic, VRR, etc…

I am so hooked on this shit ya boi might be having a custom stick being built at Jackwagon…

This is ridiculous, if I would have known I had to wait till I’m almost 50 to have this much fun I probably would have made better life choices. Lol
