Wake up

For Honor is coming around

Competitive 1v1 games are grueling because they combine the worst elements of single-player and multi-player games.

>single-player
>pros: usually have lots of control over the game/world.
>cons: have to do everything yourself

>multi-player games
>pros: hang out with friends, teamwork, split the load
>cons: enemy team is more ruthless than any AI

Grueling does not necessarily mean "bad", however. They're just less popular because hard games weed out low-skilled players.

At least it's balanced

>no skill involved

wat?

Don't they just reload?

Literally nothing can be balanced, it is impossible, even chess favors the guy that goes first.

>not a single good, well balanced, polished, popular, online, competitive 1v1 videogame
Starcraft 2

>pong
>tetris
prove me wrong

>want to get good at CS:GO
>start a comp game
>match with 4 literally retarded kids
>quit game

why does it need to be online?
and a fightan doesn't need to be popular, even with like 50 people online you can get a ton of variety

Most of the time it was just a way for both of them to keep their honor anyways.

I feel like fighters can't be played online because of how latency dependent they are. If you're playing someone else within the same city on good infrastructure it's alright I guess, but for fighters in general you just can't beat a proper offline/arcade scene. You're kind of hosed if you don't live in a handful of regions/cities in the world that have that.

I believe that even at the time, they were generally regarded as being a dumb activity for bored rich morons with heads up their arses.

Get a friend, a second controller and a TV you lard-ass

Yeah, play chess. There's no vidya worth playing anymore.

ryu vs ryu is balanced
it's just boring, and no one wants to play a whole game of that

>good
>popular
can't have your cake and eat it too

>implying good things don't become popular because they're good and everyone knows it
it's certainly true that bad things become popular because people like shallowness and superficiality and fall for marketing, but.

that hasn't been true since 2007

If you have a game cube controller and an adapter, Project M is pretty good.

Smash isn't a figuring game don't try me.

>Smash isn't a figuring game
True, you could say chess is a figuring game I guess

Smash is a fighting game though.

Sadly, no one plays here in Europe

Why would well-balanced competitive game be popular in the first place?

Many would intentionally miss. It was mainly to see if someone else was man enough or respected the other to actually do it. Death was an unfortunate consequence, and it was seen as immoral to intentionally kill everyone you dueled with. People would both fire their shots and then go have tea together. It was absolutely retarded but that's how it was.

Balanced, polished, online, popular.
there is none
