I hit a wall of acceptance with fighting games where I don't think I'll ever be "good" at them no matter how much time or effort or study I put in. I recognize my skill ceiling. I play because I like them and hope others will let me join in based on pure enthusiasm, but I'll never be a competitor.

Recently got Granblue Rising, tried jumping online and I know that I won't enjoy getting good. But, the game is still so fun!
I'd love to see more fighting games be multi-genre, in line with this. Co-op beat'em'ups? Party goodness definitely welcome and wanted. SSBM Adventure/SSE, Motor Kombat, Tekken Bowl are all goodies.
Dunno if this count since its a standalone, but, Blazblue got a roguelite (Entropy Effect) and I wonder if more fighting games can do that as well 🤔
SF 6 came out I was Great, took a break, came back, im getting whooped left and right. Cant react any more.
It sucks, but it is what it is.
But I wanna play so bad
4 - 8 hours a day of intense practice? Learning the frame data? Which moves are best for each situation, perhaps practicing combos that are only possible through learning other moves the vast majority cannot physically pull off?
No?
Then you're right.
I was competitive in the arcade. I was always one of the best players in my friend group. But in online matches I've always been trash. Online play is harshly tilted against everyone who isn't an elite player with time to kill. 😔
But in life, the real important thing is to be "your best". The rest is just noise

I also think seeing someone like Lilypichu recently getting into different fighting games reminded me why I like the genre so much. It'd be nice to be good but it's not something I'd stress about as much these days
Those guys' energy should be what people aspire to
I had to accept that I wasn’t going to the NBA a looooooooong time ago.
When I realized that didn’t mean I had to stop playing basketball and that doing so wasn’t a waste of time just because it wasn’t my career, that led to me being a happier person.
Pay have life arena breakout, or tarkov. You can kinda do your own thing. You win some you lose some
it's just more fun goofing off and occasionally trying to hit personal milestones
I've never been good with PvP. Give me PvE,challenges, puzzles, and quests all day long.
2) now you get to be the “gatekeeper”. The one newbies have to overcome in order to prove worthy of “being Competitive” at the Game. ✌️✌️✌️

I KNOW I’m dogshit at competitive but I still like exploring the world.
I’m a huge fan of fighting games, but recognize that I lack the skill and drive for competition, but I appreciate other aspects like the lore, the gameplay, and just having fun.
I do appreciate having friends to play with, and talk about the games
but man, it is frustrating finding and accepting a hard limit

BUT DAMN IT. If I don't absolutely slay in bot matches, even on higher difficulties.
Welcome to the 90% of people who love fighting games. You can just play them and have fun with us, no one is asking you to be good 👍
And I'm taking my time with FG so I don't burnout by pushing too hard.
