KayinI guess I'll start using mastodon rather than my NSFW twitter to scream about dumb twitter in interactions but I said 'other genres are just as confusing as fighting games, you just can't hide behind a team to learn' and now someone is arguing with me that MOBAs are more visibly clear and understandable and I want to die
I think a frustrating thing, if I try and untangle the ton of stuff someone dropped on me, is how... I think people compare the most complicated parts of fighting games to the simplest parts of other genres.
Like the person was talking about how hard it is to deal with setplay compared to like, the timing flow of most other games and in my mind like... setplay is pretty advanced??? If someone is new and getting setplayed to death, they're playing the wrong people (and often can't find the right people)
and like don't get me wrong I'm bias against mobas I fucking hate them so much but like, 'MOBAs are confusing!!' isn't some condemnation. It's just a double standard. 😔
Kat@kayin might just be that fighting games are fast and that's painting a lot of people's expectations.
i know high level tf2 is pretty similar to fighting games in terms of having to know how your opponents respond to what.

@kayin this is honestly just how any game with pvp works? fighting games just often have more buttons. the other stuff isn't that different
