Few reasons. One, I don't have an inner circle of friends to play with. I'd either be playing randos or looking for folks on GameFAQs, which would be tantamount to randos, essentially.
Two, honestly they don't hold my attention for long. So many fighting games I've bought over the past couple of decades I drop over a month because I got what I wanted to get out of it. --- CyricZ ... Copied to Clipboard!

Some, like the Gundam Ex Vs games are okay... 1v1 games, though, kinda short on content. And I suck. Soulcalibur is alright though.

I peak easily. As competitive as I could get with games I just know my limit and willingness to invest any further. Plus lagging is still not the greatest in fighting game servers and high level players are something else completely. At this point of my life I'd rather spectate these grand players.

I do, I just don't play anything besides SCVI these days. I was supposed to get UNICLR or GBVS, but I forgot what I was playing at the time. Oh and I play Smash Ultimate every now and then. The coronavirus getting all the fighting game events canceled really bummed me out because I love watching that stuff.

it always baffles me that fighting game communities even existFIghting games are pretty niche which is a damn shame. Casuals won't stick around if they're constantly getting bodied by people way above their skill, they might not want to put in the time labbing stuff out, and the small playerbase for some of them make it feel like you're only getting matched with much higher ranked players(I see this one a lot for SCVI). The lag on some of them are godawful which make some losses feel undeserved, and then there are the godawful people playing on wifi or with shitty internet. There were a few fighting game tournaments every week where I live, but the coronavirus kinda put a stop to all of those so I'm left with online. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Theres nothing for me to do when Im getting my ass whooped. Learn to enjoy the ass whooping lol. I had like a 12% win rate for like the first 250 matches i played. Got that up to 40% (56% for last 100 matches) And in recent times also had to learn to feel comfortable with a control pad again since I hadnt used one in like 15 years which was even more painful that the losses. Felt so awkward that I was actually considering buying a $200 hitbox since i was playing with a keyboard. Had to take another whole lot of L's again to relearn the game with a pad. ...

The answer for me is the controls paired with the need for quick reaction times. If I learned them as a kid it would probably be fine, but by the time I've realized I need to block low, jump a fire ball, or tech a throw it'll already be too late. But as a kid I didn't understand fighting games enough to want to bother, and now that initial investment to realign those synapses just feels like too much.
Combos aren't so bad since you only need a handful of functional ones. And most games have some sort of auto combo now. --- <insert sig here> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Kinda off topic but playing Tekken Tag as a kid I could never figure out why I would choose a character and they would look totally different from the portrait on the character select screen.
I didn't learn for months that the game picked your costume based on which button you pushed to select the character, and that the default costume was mapped to O, not X. --- 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 ...

They get boring kinda quick unless you have a buddy come over and game with you. I feel the same way playing Smash. Guilty Gear is nice, but the storymode is always too short and I usually suck at combos. I wouldn't pay over $20 for a fighting game again. Marvel vs Capcom or SNK is always fun. SFIV was alright...I didn't bother with V. SC III was decent too back in the day. Once my oldest son gets a bit older I'll try those games out with him.

I'm bad at figuring out what new combination to perform for a given situation, over and over again.
Game that requires me to push 1-2 buttons/perform expected combination of moves on reflex is OK. Reactively determining what new/counter combination recipe to perform on reflex is not OK. --- It is time for your daily dose of smile. ^_____________________^ ... Copied to Clipboard!
