Fighting games the hardest competitive genre to master?

Starcraft’s execution barrier is higher than any fighting game save maybe MvC2.

lol @ the existance of this thread. How fucking arrogant…

edit: ah nm. it’s a question. read the original post.

I dunno about FPS myself but I know of the games that exist, FGs are like not even kinda close to being anywhere near the top. they have depth to them, but there’s so few options in them compared to other games. comparing some FG’s depth, even just the mental portion, to something like Pokemon for instance is like some sort of sick joke.

that isn’t to say a FG master isn’t impressive, I still find Mew2King to be one of the most interesting players in the world. but a master of Pokemon would be much more impressive as far as mind games and such go

how is clicking a mouse high execution? do you even know what the word means? Actually the fact you think MvC2 is the pinnacle of FG execution tells me you definitely don’t.

I was gonna shit all over that post until you came up with that last sentence

No shit. Well so much for what I know. shrug
