What went wrong fgc bros

The days of just accepting trashy balance due to having no other option is gone, grandpa. Go jerk off Sirlin or something.

electronic sports

go for the fighting games
stay for the child grooming

Honestly shit’s the same today as it was back then.
The reason you cant have spicy stuff like this anymore is because of the internet. If someone finds something broken, within an hour everyone online will be abusing it ruining every game. So people have to complain to the devs to remove it so you can have fun again.
Back then you’d use some bs you learned from your friend against your cousin until he complained to you and you stopped abusing it so you can both have fun again.

No one mentioned god awful shounen franchises either yet here you are shitting up the board with that image and filename.

Nope smash is a fighting game. You're just as faggy as them but you don't realize it.

What was that? Speak up, little pup.

>game has overpowered options meaning the competitive meta is simpler and less interesting
vs
>game is well balanced and allows for more creativity at the competitive level instead of seeing the same 3 characters/setups/options/whatever
Admittedly in the age of social media and internet, scrubs can get their stupid complaints heard and game devs are more likely to change stuff quickly without much thought, but it's still *generally* better than dealing with a game that only has a few viable characters on launch, and every fighting game has poor balance on launch

Make fighting games f2p again.
Instead you pay quarter to fight until you lose or get one shot at the arcade mode.

>Make fighting games f2p again.
They did

People definitely bitched about broken shit back in the day. Hell, Rare had to send a guy to tons of different arcade machines to patch the Cinder infinite in KI1. Thanks to balance patches and the internet, it's much easier to make a refined, balanced game. Unfortunately, that comes at the cost of literally anyone being able to bitch about something that may or may not be broken.

arcade style is not "f2p". And a more modern game tried this, tekken revolution and people hated it

Fighting games got balance patches since the dawn of fucking time in arcades.

>Thanks to balance patches and the internet, it's much easier to make a refined, balanced game.
pic not related, right

Back then your could just shit out fighting games with recycled sprites by the truckload without having to worry about things like balance and competitive viability

>Animators throw a fit after characters like Cell
>End up with shit like Jiren

Do zoomers ruin everything?

Those all had original graphics though. It's the Marvel shit that was all recycled sprites.

Yeah, probably not at the moment. I just picked it because it was the most recent fightan image I had saved.

Sometimes I lose track of whether those are supposed to be deliberate baits or just made by zoomer retards unironically.

>it's much easier to make a refined, balanced game.
Sure, but is a refined, balanced game desirable? Polishing something too much just makes it bland. GG's devs openly state they aim for their games to have ragged edges and "toxic" elements because that's what makes them fun, for example.

>professional, dignified players, perfectly mimicking normal sports
What sports are you watching?

Prove it wrong.

>what went wrong with the fgc bros
>this post
yeah im thinking the community just sucks in general,

inb4
>one post is not the entire fgc!
people in the faggot gaming community are elitist to a degree where they will play some outdated turbo dumpster fightan just because its old and they know all the broken glitches and call it competitive. they will whine about change, and cry that the devs aren't "supporting the loyal veterans". and theyre furfags and pedos

You sir have won the internet for the rest of the day

Here is your Zig Forums gold *tips fedora*

>What went wrong fgc bros
Nobody that complains about fighting games that much actually plays fighting games
Nobody in this thread plays fighting games
Fighting games are fine now and they've been fine for awhile

storytime?

>any business
>"who cares how they sell?"
Whoever made this image needs to blow their brains out

where's the story

Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!

>Fighting games are fine now and they've been fine for awhile
Tekken is as close to p2w right now as you can get, it's not really a coincidence that finalist matchups have been some combination of Leroy/Fakh mirrors

Nobody would buy DLC characters if they aren't top tier.

Niggers

They accidentally/purposely made a character too good for a bit and will probably have a balance patch at some point
oh no ALL fighting games are RUINED for an entire GENERATION even though I'm pretty sure Tekken 7 is the most celebrated Tekken game in awhile

People are hyped to buy fucking DAN in SFV

Cool it with the racist remarks.

Black people have always been one of the cornerstones of fighting games along with japs and south americans, which brings me to a different point: why is the EU scene for almost every FG so garbage?

Do you have downs syndrome?

to be fair, SFV might be the only SF game where Dan would have a chance to be good

There used to be a time where companies didn't want every game to sell 10 million copies. And games were better for it.

Everything is reddit. Even you.

DBZ fans are 3rd world shitskins 99% of the time but you’re just as bad for posting that ifunny tier image.
Lose some weight and get some skills to leave your shitty country, faggot.

Way to kill a meme.

dan is hype, fuck off.

also because it's 2020 and not 1996

The losses came from Street Fighter 3, not the games in that pic.

You are retarded then. Every company wants their product to be a hit. Capcom had a bunch of fun money and tried making a bunch of other fighting games to see if they'd be as much of a success as Street Fighter or close. They weren't and so they stopped making them. That's the entire story. You are dumb as shit if you think they were just lighting money on fire for the laughs and every company several years ago was some fucking charity. End your life

reddit

Capcom trying to cash in on casualbucks by simplifying SF5, BAMCO not knowing how to balance DLC chars, MKX/INJ2 were actually amazing but too much for brainlet FGCcucks who and got casualized as a result, KOF = dead, MVC = dead, only DBFZ seems to be doing okay, while SC is alive but as niche as always

it all is quite literally a series of massive fuck-ups done a few years ago where the chickens have come home to roost, or they're recent fuck ups such as in the case of Tekken, add to that all of the massive drama from big FGC figures being exposed as kiddy fiddlers, corona killing all irl tournaments and the otherwise political bullshit in the US and you've got the absolute shitshow that is the FGC in 2020

They also stopped making Street Fighter because Street Fighter 3 bombed.
