You will NEVER be good enough at fighting games

Damn bro. I thought sonic sol was cool. Wtf is this...

when i fight good people i often go : ahhh thats good or wow nice and if they gg me afterwards i tell them they are good

I needed to hear this

i didn't like the way sol insulted you.

I really really like this one! great stuff.

What an awesome video 👍 it's the sad truth but if you know that you don't need anyone's approval you'll be fine (it's not wrong to feel good if you get anyone's approval btw)

Very good video essay! subbed!

You can play over a 1000 games against someone and beat them a 1000 times in a row. and if they are arrogant enough, theyll admit that maybe 1 of their losses were legit.
but if you lose 1 game "YOU ARE TRAAAAASH"
but hey, thats fighting games.

Its really true! The concept of being "objectively good" is kind of flawed. Theres always going to be better players, or even just different players with different metrics for what is good. A lot of the time people will define their playstyle as good, or look at a small group of players as being what good looks like.

I've said it before, but Fighting Games are hard, and require a completely new skillset for anyone just starting out. In my opinion, these players GET good as they start to improve small aspects of their gameplay. Learn a BnB combo? Thats good! Learn how to Instant air dash, or block string, or do footsies better etc etc etc... Thats all GOOD!

Good is a moving scale, but as you play you can almost only get more good. By the time you reach a point where you are moving around comfortably and playing the game and having fun trading wins with other people. You are good. Maybe not the best, maybe not in the top 10% or anything. But everything in FGs takes work and you will get more and more "good" as you go.

It seems like fighting games are not about fighting they become about winning to some players. When my friends start getting good at a game, the matches become epic movies and it gets down to the last sliver of life. Those were the best times with friends.

I went to play online just to see how it works and let me say the netcode is incredible. I got maxed so bad by one cat over and over and over. I tried all the meta. I haven't even finished he tutorials so I was kinda mashing. It was still pretty fun getting my ass kicked like that. Idc about my record. The person I went against had like 200 matches under their belt.
