SnowBlitz said:Modern fighting games are not forgiving at all. Please go play a modern fighting game then try to say this. At this point you're sounding like you've never actually played a fighting game outside of the 90's. I'd go so far as to say you're insulting Professional Gamers.
I played through the recent Killer Instinct game on the Xbox. Was pulling out combos over 40 hits within the first half hour or so. As I said the difficulty curve was non-existent. When playing the original in the arcades way back when it took months to perfect the combos. Timing had to be so spot on. Played Street Fighter IV recently and most of the super moves were the inputs for the special moves in Street Fighter II. I will concede that I have not played all the new fighters, and I know nothing about the pro scene after Third Strike, but I stand by my opinion that older fighters were more technically challenging.
What I will say is the arcade sticks are of a much higher standard then they ever have been. I always thought nothing at home would ever come close to the Neo Geo stick but some of the ASCII sticks the last couple of years are excellent. Maybe that is part of my opinion, the controllers are more accurate so it seems easier? In regards to insulting pro gamers, that is not what I said. I insulted the games rather than those playing them.
