[quote] On a different but related note, I hear people often saying that you won't get better unless you go to the arcades where the real competition is, and I believe it's true but should be advised with caution to new players due to a few reasons. The first is that the arcades are dieing, and it's not like the previous golden era of fighting games where there were people of all traits using all kinds of characters. Only the top players are pretty much left and they'll beat the living life out of you, especially because it'll let them add good stats in the IC-card enabled games of recent years (new players are called "nutrients" in the arcades because they bring in free points). It's OK if you're experienced enough to learn from your losses, but if you're new, there's a likely chance that you don't have enough knowledge to even understand y This is pretty much the reason I don't go to arcades anymore. It's kind of sad, since I live in a place where, while possibly not as thriving as it was on the golden days, arcade culture is still pretty much alive. But I do not enjoy at all watching how everyone and their mother mop the floor with my puny ass every time I put a quarter on a Tekken cabinet. Let alone 2D fighters, where I lost the gist since the SFZero days. I feel as I lost the train on late 90s and now it's way too late for start learning. I want to love and enjoy all these flashy and eye catching brand new fighting games, but systems are too complex, combo [/URL][/B][/S][/I][COLOR=660000]-- Message too long, Autoquote has been Snipped --[/COLOR][/quote] powered by BoardMaster v1.8 Show Signature: include your profile signature.
