Thankfully for us fighting game hopefuls, Capcom has a few tricks up their sleeves to help casual players ease into the world of Street Fighter. Not to mention I’m going to need a new pricey fight stick too if I want to get on the pro level. I don’t want to shell out the cash on a game that I’m going to quickly drop due to tough competition yet I want to experience the excitement and thrills of online battles.
Capcom’s Street Fighter series is one that I’ve played since I was a kid yet I’ve struggled to play the most due to difficult commands for special moves (quarter-circle this, full-circle that) and combos that blow my mind but I’ve always had an appreciation for the series on both a design and competitive standpoint.Ĭapcom is set to release Street Fighter V on the Playstation 4 and PC this month and I’m both excited and scared to bother with it.
Every time I hit the online matches in fighting games I get obliterated and quickly become discouraged and give up. My problem is that I simply do not have the time to dedicate to such games due to the amount of practice and effort needed to compete at even an average level. I play many games in the genre, I’ve purchased a pricey professional arcade stick and possess the will to “git gud” so-to-speak. The fighting game genre is one that I’ve always wanted to excel at.
