Yeah but it was fun because you had to work very hard to hone those skills. People loved it so much so that it was part of MLG for some time. Same thing with Street Fighter. There's way too much pandering to these pampered North American kids who are taught "everyone's a winner" BS so they have to dumb games down. People should work themselves to reach their highest potential instead of capping game mechanics. |
I love MLG. I love game speedrunning. I loved Starcraft Brood War, the hardest and most competitive game ever made.
But I'd really rather a game's skill came from intelligence and strategy rather than mechanical aptitude. Normal sports already do the latter quite well. I've switched from Starcraft to LoL: lower mechanical skillcap, and yet more fun, exciting and still skill based games.
Fighting games make moves deliberately hard to do to slow players down from being perfect. I don't think that's right.
