r/FGC

I've been mostly playing Street Fighter 6 lately and for me the appeal is that the game is very popular, thus it's easy for me to find people of the similar skill to play with. I only play online, so this is important. I also really enjoy their "random" mode -- really wish other games had this too.

I'm curious to hear why you find a particular game appealing, on a personal level. Not what makes your game of choice unique per se, but what makes it unique *for you*.

I am a fanatic for fighting games so I love when IPs such as invincible vs brings in a new set of potential players for the player base.

I've seen so many posts over the last few days of new players getting frustrated with tag mechanics not understanding pressure and overall not getting why playing the computer doesn't translate to online play.

I'm not here to bash y'all I'm here to say if you really enjoy it keep going learning fighting games can be a daunting task. Yes, it's frustrating getting your ass kicked But man once you learn it, it's best feeling. Take a step back honestly look at what you did wrong and ask yourself are you using all of the games mechanics.

I see so many people talking about how they just feel like they can't stop the pressure. Have you used push block? have you used heroic strike? It's a lot but it gets better believe me

TLDR; the FGC needs games like invincible to help grow the player base so if you enjoy the IP and enjoy the game don't quit it's only been a week

I'm sure all of them have these. But my brain can't handle these big flashy inputs {atleast for now}

Are there any games (preferably newer ones that can be played on Switch or Steam} that have simple combos, and mostly rely on footsies or just mind games.

I know there's literally the game footsies, I wanted one moreso on the Switch 2since that's my daily driver. I wanna learn all the flashy fun stuff later, but right now I mainly just wanna learn the basics and simple stuff that the game is built around.

I played Tekken 8 where all I used was small combos, and it just sucked to get those 10 minute cutscene combos.

I know best advice is to git gud, I was just hoping there was something more along the lines of gameplay that mainly features those small, but explosive combos.

My friends have invited me to go to Combo Breaker with them, I'm not that good at fighting games and want to do at least okay for this convention but I've never really been to one, idk if I need a certain kinda controller, or how etiquette at this kind of thing works I'd appreciate any advice. The games I've played are Tekken 8, Soul Calibur VI, MKX, and Sparking Zero

I really wanna see Nero, DMC characters already have a move set lined up from their games and his style with his arms and exceed would give him such a cool feel, plus a maybe charge shot like zero in mvc3 but not that strong. Idk is it even possible?

Hello everyone, this is probably a very broad question with no simple answer lol but I have a lil story and a big question I'd like to ask.

I've played Fighting Games my whole life but in the casual way where I mashed on games for a while, tried to learn a small amount of stuff and then quit. I used to play League of Legends with a friend; he still plays it, I hate it and refuse to touch the game lmao. However, I still really like the world and lore of League and when I first heard about 2XKO a few years ago and heard that it would have duos, I wanted to truly get into Fighting Games. I picked the tough path and got into the genre all on my own through YouTube vids and streams and I finally got into the FGC early last year. When 2XKO finally came out toward the end of the year, I tried to play duos with that friend that I mentioned. At first it went alright, but we slowly fell off. And I don't fully know what the reason was; it could've been the game itself not being that fun for him, it could've been the fact that he just doesn't wanna learn, or I feel like it could've been my teaching. I tried to tell him the fundamentals that I knew, but I feel like I probably overloaded him a bit and made everything less fun. So this leads to my bigger question that has a few smaller questions attached. Big question: Is there a better way to teach my friend Fighting Games? I watched a few videos recently of people teaching their non FGC friends how to play and it made me want to try and teach my friend again. So should I focus on the basics until he gets them down like I assume I should? Should I even use 2XKO as a learning game? We're mainly playing it because ofc it's free, but is it actually a worse game to learn for a true beginner? Should I try to teach them through something else like SF6 or Strive? And, I know this is more of a personal thing that I'd have to figure out on my own, but should I just give up and accept that my friend might not want to learn fighting games at all? Again I'm aware that this is something I should ask my friend directly lol, but I'm wondering if anyone maybe has a similar experience they could share to give me a lil more insight. I'm not looking for any miracle solution, I'm just looking for some advice and tips to help my friend learn the very basics of fighting games so we can hopefully have some fun together 😊 Thanks for reading!
