Fighting games require fast hand and fast execution, not to mention fast minds.. not like idiotic RPGs and FPS games..
in ur games.. U hide .. U sneak.. Turtle around.. and u need a team.. the games u play are like cats and mouse.. thts so lame..
Try a couple of hours of Quake online. We will see how fast execution you "manly gamers" have.
Fast execution ... lol! The way a person micromanages a WHOLE ARMY in a RTS game, or the skills of someone in Quake is far far faaaaaaaaaaaar more fast executed than anything you will ever see in a 1vs1 button mash fest where the only 'strategy' and 'mind power' used is in execution of the same old combos.
5 mins ? Really ? A round of CoD4 SnD doesnt even last a couple of minutes. Hell ... small maps dont last a single minute even!!! You see ... since FPS gamers have attention spans larger than yours, and use there minds ... they execute plans and strategys ... upon execution, the battle doesnt last more than a minute ... 30 seconds mostly.
Similarly in an RTS, you build a base, build units ... attack on more than one front, defend on other fronts ... keep on a look out for air units as well as land units, not to mention stealth attack, keep up the building and tech advancing, micromanage units ... all while maintaining a steady flow of units .. ALL at the same time! Im pretty damn sure it takes more "mind power" to manage 10+ tasks at the same time rather than a '1vs1' button mash fest. You guys have fast mind ? More like dull mind!
I say its pretty 'unmanly' that you cannot face more than one opponent. Two opponents and ooooh my oooh my im a get me ass kicked! Taking on a whole team by yourself is something that really takes a whole lot of skill! And that happens in FPS games as well as RTS!
. Fighting games has got only selected crowd bcoz not many ppl has got fast execution..
The only reason there is a short crowd is because the vast majority eventually gets the guts and the skill to face more than one opponent in a situation where a SINGLE click instead of a whole minute of button mashing is the difference between winning and loosing!
.. the moves and combos tht we do is an art..
And art thats based on a set of predefined button clicks ? I would find spontaneous strategies all the time wiht no predefined moves an art. A RTS rush is an art, an FPS defence strategy is an art. A predefined set of button clicks ... not an art !
