Competitive Games

Looking back on it, I got into fighting games as an extension of rhythm games since that's how combos feel to me. All the extra stuff of footsies, pressure, oki etc is fun to learn and apply in a real match.

This is probably the most relevant thread atm and I don't want to create a thread for Quake Champions, does anyone know if Crash(the character) is in that game? Also who the fuck names a character Crash, I can't find shit on her

That's no paradox. Casuals are terrible, but E-sports faggots are also terrible. You can play games well without pretending to be a special boy m8.

You are being retarded on purpose. Stop it.

I'm actually pretty good at card games, usually discovering and breaking the decks and tech before it hits the internet. The thing is it usually isn't just one guy, its a community effort. one guy might come out with something game breaking, another sees it and adds some other minor element that had already been known but no one used, another guy optimizes it through grinding and so on.

I have said this before on here, but the actual melee scene that goes to tournaments is chill as fuck. Its filled with DUDE WEED bros going to college that enjoy getting together to play a nintendo party game. For any tournament that isn't a regional or up half the people there are just there to smoke weed, have a good time and play videogames.

Most of the people you run into on the internet that talk about melee haven't ever actually been to a tournament and just watch twitch streams where their only interaction is with twitch chat and the casters. The result are people with this serious business esports attitude full of shitty opinions and memes. They usually sit around their house playing vs bots and if they ever manage to make it out to one they have anxiety attacks through the whole thing because they have never been juggled before and they lose whatever techskill they spent a gorrillion hours practicing religiously.

You probably mean Slash.

There's also a Crash in Q3A/QLive. She's tutorial-tier, and is basically a ladyPhobos
Crash isnt in QC, and the same people who named her come up with names like Slash, Anarki, Major, Mynx, etc. It was a different time.
I'm sure they'll add her in at some point

I got a pal who seems to be in the same place as you and kinda feel bad for him. He clearly wants to play his game and tries to get my group into it but no one is really interested unless we are playing with each other at times. When its against him its an obvious defeat, Now i'm not going to go into the reasons why the group and me don't want to get into (lazy pretty much), but how could we help our pal. He has gone to local gatherings but wants us to go with him and practice, etc because he wants to have the thing he did with a friend in the past like you did. We have tried getting him to play games with us but its easy to tell he just wants to play his fighting game or some other fighting game but get into it with someone else.

Anyway good luck to everyone here trying to find people to play with and tournaments. Seems like a bitch for some to even find one person to play with competitively.
