Touch screens and 1 button specials are ruining Fighting Games?

Hope you find it as interesting as I did, it might even answer some of your questions to "why do they do this to the games we love?"

That channel is pretty cool as well, I've just come across them in the last month or so but they are rather level headed and their production values make their content rather enjoyable if it's a subject you're interested in.

Pretty good channel overall, glad you showed me the vid... Yeah, explained it very well. I'll always watch that moment when Justin Wong lost to Daigo as part of the reason I started playing fighting games religiously I was totally into them before but when I came across that video many years ago MANY, MANY years ago... I fell in love with fighting games and that's why I'm worried about a bunch of things... You can't get the same rewarding feeling today with games that just want to appeal to more audiences even if it means making your game boring, but at the end of the day I can understand that this is a business.

As a player.... the fact that companies are making games to look good for spectators just in terms of "omg that was the best comeback ever" type videos... every single day on youtube are far less special though when they actually happened. It's like he said in the video, if Daigo had won by just mashing out the counter as you can do it in SFV it would not have been anything special in the slightest... you would have heard about it for maybe at most a week after the show in a "that was cool, he mashed countered her ult" but no.... that happened in 2004 and we're still talking about it 13 years later... no one is going to be looking at any of those shit come back vids from SFV in 13 years time, just... no.

It's amazing that was such a cool counter, so perfectly done... and people herald it as a Godly skilled moment in gaming.... he didn't even win the championship, it wasn't the final fight, it was in the lead up to it, but dear me it wasn't even the Final and it still roped in more new players and interest to the fighting game community than any SFV thing will in my opinion at least.
