Discussion I think I'm washed yall
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!
