How do you keep beating me! - Lemmy.world

This is why I like Soul Calibur.

It knows that’s what you’re going to do and makes every random combo of buttons do cool shit 😌

It’s the fighting game for people who suck at fighting games. It’s my favorite.

So that’s why I liked Soul Calibur so much!

Same. The fact that it was ā€œcheapā€ in this regard was heavily weaponized by my childhood best friend.

Memory unlocked: him beating me every round on Street Fighter EX plus Alpha (?) and then pointing out that every win by his was some kind of super special win, not even just a regular one.

He comparatively never wanted to play Soul Calibur

I wish I could get past the button mashing stage on fighting games 🫤
I thought that’s why they’re so fun. You always get to be surprised if something awesome happens
You should probably check out modern controls on Street fighter 6
lol me too. I grew up in the 90s/early 2000s so had no online gaming. I also had no friends to play with and only ever played against the computer. First time I got to play against someone was in college, and he got super mad at my button mashing. He was trying to do all those combos and stuff and I was just mashing butting and just destroying him. He was livid saying ā€œwtf that’s not how you play what are you doingā€
If it works, it’s not wrong. He was just jelly that he had no skillz.

My 8 year old nephew was kicking my ass yesterday at Ninja Turtles tournament fighter cause HIS random button smashing kept finding the special moves and MY random smashing barley found kick.

He was quite delighted in his triumph

Those really old games have somewhat inconsistent input readers. There’s a homebrew remix of that game called TMNT x Justice League turbo that plays much much better and is a huge amount of fun for the price of free on PC.

Those really old games have somewhat inconsistent input readers.

Is THAT why I could barely ever repeat the same move twice in a row? I actually made an effort to learn some back then but it was still very hit or miss.

It depends a lot on your dpad
Ive been ā€œgetting around to itā€ for a number of years now
And after a few playtroughs it’s a breeze!

Hey have you tried the Multiverse mod? It’s like FTL 2.0. So much more content!

Street Fighter 6 is FANTASTIC at teaching people how fighting games work and Modern controls are a godsend. Highly recommend.
Blanka go bzzzzzzzz
Dropping more inputs than people out of college
Except for Sekiro, you gotta get them skillz to deflect them bosses.
