The only fighting game I can play even slightly competently is the SSB series.

I don't irredeemably suck at them, but I can count the two I've been genuinely kinda good at on one hand that has had three of its fingers cut off.

Doesn't stop me from having them as my favorite genre of game, though!

I wouldn't go so far as to use "love," but I do heartily enjoy them despite my inability to surpass strategic button-mashing!

I do love them, and I'm decent at the only one I've put any time into (ssbm)

I love following them and then laughing as pros make mistakes that I say to myself I would never do, then fail to do the dragon punch motion half of the time.

Actually playing them is less fun, outside of SSB's forgiving learning curve, but watching them is a blast.

That's me.

I mostly love the variety of characters, and I would say the only one I'm decent in is MvC3.

Sorta.

I'm alright at them, but I can never do tournament level stuff because I just suck at doing so many DP inputs and stuff in such a short time, it's way too horrible for my thumbs.

Me

Mostly because I don't have anyone to play with. None of my friends from my hometown play fighters, so I never had any practice.

Currently, there's XBL, yeah, but screw paying $60/year just to play fighting games on it.

I'm very good against the majority of people who play smash around here, in tournaments and so, but then when I get to the actual good people in the finals or semis or whatever, I completely get squashed.

Me.

I don't count SSB series as real fighting games because they're easier to learn and play. I was pretty damn good at SSBM, with Link even.

Traditional fighting games though, I suck terribly. I bought MvC3 and played it some and enjoyed it. But I was still pretty much button mashing most of the time and Normal mode gave me trouble. I never dared play online.

I do like fighting games, but the learning curve is WAAAAAAAY too steep, and if you don't have friends who are also interested, there's really no reason to try.

I love fighting games, and I'd say I'm average at them, or below average maybe. I do well against friends and my brother etc, but now with the online there's always pros to smoke me, I lose probably 70% of the time online.

I'm pretty bad at fighting games where memorizing combos is the focus (SF, MvC, etc.)

I'm somewhere between decent and pretty good at Soul Calibur, though.

I like fighters, I even go online only to be beaten down almost everytime >_>.

The only fighting game that I'm probably half decent at is DBZ Burst Limit, and even then the only people online are always Z class.

I highly doubt that, did you get involved with the competitive scene?

Definitely. Until I put some serious practice into SF or Marvel, the only fighting series I will be remotely decent at is Soul Calibur.

Only ones I've ever cared for on anything more than a passing interest are SSB series and Melty Blood

I'm decent at SSB I guess, and I'm terrible at Melty Blood, so <_<

Obviously I'm an actual pro at SSBB, but I can't touch my level of play there with any "combo fighter". I have a lot of fun playing my favorite characters in certain games (Magneto, Sagat, etc.) but outside of reading and spacing I can't do anything. I'm just so bad with combo systems and the like that it's a quick ceiling for me

hell just expand this to include most casual fighting game fans - everyone loves a good button-mashing brawl.

I never button-mash at least. I strategically use pokes and specials and occasionally happen upon a combo.
