Why Is The Street Fighter Community So Toxic?

[JACK-2]

Cuz they're losers.

Funny that when people brought up the issues with the launch. The fanatics tried to make it seem like people who bad legitimate points had no fulfillment in their lives and that they'll never accomplish anything. This despite advocating grinding in some broken mess. Lol.

The toxicity seems to be mainly in the USA fgc. Im sure you have heard many of the stories that have went on at usa events.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

People stealing, lying about hotel rooms and screwing people over with it. Pot splitting and then lying about that.

I don't think it's going on in Asia. Maybe other western countries but the US is the worst. I mean look who's playing. Autistic manchildren and nerd thugs lol.

Here's an example of this communities stupidity, look at the date of the video.

SFV - Kanichin (FANG) vs Galtu (Bison) - best F.A.N.G in japan?!

Too early to be talking about "best" lol. It's meaningless. I'm pushing a Gold ranking and it doesn't mean shit.

Classy behavior.

Whats funny is markman sent low tier god a sfv ps4 pad to review. One the guy is awful at the game and two he acts like a jackass so why would his input be of any value to anyone let alone a company. Youtube is riddled with low tier god antics. I want to say only in the usa fgc you can be bad at something and a jackass and still be able to get some free stuff and recognition.

Maybe because of the illusion that he's a guy that isn't a nerd and is actually "cool" so they figure he'll push their products or something. Who knows?

Was reading some of the comments and what I find funny is that gamers seem to think it's on casual players to toughen up and take their losses. Rather than make a game that casuals can get into and have things like tutorial modes explaining their game. People play what they like, but I personally don't like playing super grindy games [ Remember the issue with the survival mode colors] and super steep learning curves. I don't have the time for it anymore. These hardcore players have no lives 90% of the time and think everyone should dedicate themselves trying to learn a video game. This is what Street fighter caters too.

Well in terms of ease of use and accessibility SF has always been easier to play than other hardcore competition class fighters. It's harder than DoA, Soul Calibur, and MK, but compared to GG, BB, VF, KoF, Tekken, etc, it's simpler. Fewer moves, less things to worry about, fewer mechanics, etc.

Fighting games are the easiest genre to pick up. Just hit your opponent until they die. The problem is they are some of the hardest to master. I like a deep learning curve if it's handled properly and not full of fake difficulty. If people play their own skill level this isn't a problem.

VF is easy to pick up and play but the hardest to master, but the way they present the game means you can do whatever you need to get there. You have a robust training mode, frame data, etc. All of this is available and easy to use. SF has stuff that's arbitrary and hidden and you have to find it.

Why doesn't this game still have a frame data and hitbox viewer if it's supposed to be "hardcore"? It's nonsensical and just keeps people from being the best they can be if they don't know where to look for the info.

Bingo!

That's my biggest issue with Street Fighter. I hate that you have to digg around the lame community just to figure out how the meta game works. They leave stuff out, almost arbitrarily.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

You don't want to have to ask the "hardcore" for it? I understand lol.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Fine. Pop in a copy of MKX right now, pick whatever is competitively broken and go body the best MK players. We'll wait.

Oh...what's that? You'd get your ass completely stomped into dirt 1000 out of 1000 games? Shit, son...that sounds...competitively sound. Almost like skill is determining the outcome!

As for the "cancer" remark...

Wow.

That attitude is the cancer in this community. Been playing fighters since SFII in the arcade and guess what? I wouldn't be if the local good-player guy in his 20's at the Aladdin's Castle arcade hadn't taken time out of his day to show a 10 year old how to "draw half moons" with the stick to throw fireballs. That attitude is what keeps fighters alive, not disgraceful statements like your "cancer" remark.

Thinking you're part of the .1% of competitive players or something? Dude, go place top 8 at Evo then you can act like you're not casual as fuck. You winning money matches and placing in tournies? No? You're casual. SF your full time job? You're casual. All I see is someone wanting to think they're part of the elite, not by having the attitude, determination and class that the pros usually have (and should have) but by shitting on people outside of that SMALL group of competitive players thinking it will make them look like they have a seat at the big boy table. GTFO with that.

Capcom beats up the community and ostracizes "casuals" enough with their shitty business decisions and ass-backwards game choices, we don't need shit-tier players telling other shit-tier players (as 99.99% of us are on here) that they're "cancer" because SFV is clearly a shit-value purchase compared to MKX (or SF4 for that matter).

Daigo (and pros like him) treats other players, regardless of skill level, with respect. And (to quote Dogma) that's why he's the king and you're a schmuck.
