Message: [QUOTE="kanesha, post: 76879, member: 130134"] Nobody in their right mind will ever do that. People play games to have fun not to feel like they are back at school learning formulas by heart. In most other games you can get better by just playing, and not practicing. Practicing is only necessary if actually want to compete, not merely enjoy the game. Fighting games are games where you can only compete, so they stay niche despite the constant new entries and hype and marketing. I'm a total noob who can't beat the brood war (one of the most mechanically demanding games ever made) compaign, I never practiced anything, but I can still watch and enjoy professional tournaments, and even learn from them, because the basic game mechanics are accessible and understandable to me, I can do exactly what the best of the best do, they just do it bajillion times faster than me and that's what's impressive. Will someone ever make a fighting game where you can do the combos slowly and doing them faster just gives you an advantage (like not letting the opponent interrupt you)? Will someone ever make fighting game with a natural fighting system that makes sense (not press this random button combinations that feel like cheatcodes) and that one can learn and fully discover by playing single-player? Learning curve? There is no curve it's a learning brick wall, and nobody is even trying to make it any better. [/QUOTE]
