Are they?


I keep saying this, but Fighting Games are meant to be a social activity. Playing by yourself on ranked doesn't bring out the true joy of Fighting Games like playing with other people. There's a reason so many of us old men have so much nostalgia for the arcades.

Agreed, but mostly for couch multiplayer

arcades were never really a thing around these parts

They're not meant to be social, but that's not to say they aren't good for a social setting.

The only point is to beat the other guy, though.

THIS is how fighting games are meant to be played.

games are meant to be played for several various reasons depending on what a person wants out of it

usually fun is the only requirement, but even that's optional

Agreed. But kinda hard to find someone to play with offline without going out of my way, and I ain't coping with online when offline execution are challenging enough

I would say local co op is much better than ranked, especially if the other players are good.

I want you to grab your nuts. Grab your balls. I want you to take a handful, and just grab your nuts real quick. Swivel 'em around in a circular motion.

I would like to play with my casual friends but when you're skilled in FG you either have to sandbag or they get mad at you.

My last buddy I was literally holding forward so his moves would hit me, guy was looking at the pad before he pressed a button

This, and then they know you're not trying and get mad, cause they thought they were good. I held off on learning smash for so long cause it's the last game I can play with casuals.

Fighting games are absolutely meant to social. At the very least, FG players who are social actually keep playing the game for more than a month, generally.

Personally I get a lot more out of local multiplayer than i do online.

But I also grew up with local multiplayer a lot more. So I'm probably biased.
