How Good Are You?

[Yoba]

I guess really this is about, how good do you think you re at fighting games? I know they all don't play the same, but what I mean I guess was if you get a new fighting game and sit down with it for a while and learn it's mechanics, how good do you think you are them?

Personally, I'm TERRIBLE. I can't play fighting games worth crap.

Very good actually...as long as the game is in PC...i suck at consoles with the exception to the Tekken series 

[Cybaster]

Average player.

With games playing old style, such as KOF or SF, I'm fine. Not fantastic, but more than okay.
However, when it comes to the new BBB, GGXX or HnK "let's smash basic buttons into 70 hit combos", I'm very shitty.

[Nnaajj]

Pretty good. I usually know a variety of combos and tricks for my favourite characters from the back of my hand. The only problems with me is I don't block much (I'm pretty aggressive).

So like I said I'm pretty good.

Except at Street Fighter Alpha

same..aggressive..i forget to block lower attacks etc..i do remember every single special attack and combos..i hate playing with the same character..so i change a lot..

I consider myself a real good player in sf games and tekken ones. As for gg bb and most crossover I suck, except for svc spent many hours playing that machine.

[K.O.D]

I'm good in some games where I've nearly mastered a few characters (K', K9999 and Joe in KoF 2k2 for example) but I also suck against certain types of players (expert grappler players, cyanide-style annoying LOWHIGHLOWHIGHPOKEPOKE tactics, etc.)

[Vyx]I am perfectly with you[/Vyx]
Seriously.

The only thing I can say that I'm "good" at it is playing as Dudley in SF3 since I'm the 'counter' type player.

[ExShadow]

I never lose

[SNT]

Depends, really; I don't get much of a chance to fight against other people.  Amongst casuals I'm a regular fighting game god, amongst the hardcore set I'm good but mortal.  If it's a Tekken game before 6, no matter who I'm with I'm in the lower levels of the pantheon.

[rednavi -RETIRED]

I never lose

I never lose against people who never lose.

[Elix]

I never lose

I never lose against people who never lose.

I never lose (against people who never lose)^n, n → ∞.

Actually, I'm just like Cybaster. Decent reaction and average level combos plus mindplay and change of tactics. Just never had the time to sit in training for hours to master pro level combos (specifically, all those EX mode combos in KOF or long focus cancel combos in SF4).

[mugenxero]

Since good is really subjective I can say accomplishments and people can use that to determine levels of skill. People saying "I know combos" varies from someone thinking crouch forward hadouken is a combo, to people who consistently pull ToDs in matches.

In SFIV:
out of 8 games against John Choi played at Keystone 3 on American sticks I won 4 with my Boxer.
In Evo 2K9 I made it to winners finals for my pool.
at 256 man bracket nor cal tourney I got tied 17th place
I'm at around 40% wins v Ricky Ortiz's Rufus *Haven't played him since he switched to Chun sadly >.<*
Double Perfected by Buktooth's Fuerte 2 out of 9 games

In ST/HDR:
I'm 1-2 with Jason Cole *Rog v Sim*
I've taken tied 4th in a big Nor cal tourney. (64 man bracket I think)

XvSF:(LOL FAIL)
I went 1-2 with liquidmetalX or whatever that Canadian player's name was, though I just landed a lucky cyke infinite the round I won, and the other 2 I was destroyed.
I can only infinite with part of the cast. >.<

MvC2:
I'm learning this now and I'm sure Rollx3 could beat me right now.

SNK games... I love them but I fail at them. >.>

BB/GG... again, I love them, but haven't had the opportunity to play a lot of good people yet.

Combo wise I'm average but I have good Yomi. I have ok Execution (Why I'm learning marvel), and fairly nice footsies. I can often force mistakes from people, but get greedy with meaties when it's not a good idea occasionally.

[S.D.]

Above average.

That.

And pretty decent on 3D Fighters.

[Tony 3rd]

Extremely terrible, with some bursts of luck (SSF2HDR, the only fighting game I managed to get all achievements. actually, the only game. period. (not counting dash of destruction)).

I play fighting games due to the excellent cathartic element it provides to my mind. My mind set was actually made for fighting games, I just don't know how to become good at them.

[Yoba]

You know, I've changed my mind. When it comes to Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3, I'm pretty dang good that I know of, seeing as I only had computers ad one friend to play against. But that just might be because the Tenkaichi games took out combos unlike the first three budokai games. And I suck at combos.

And once, on TMNT Tournament Fighters, I was able to figure out this one spam move for this chick on it. I won the match with it. I then proceeded to lose pretty bad from then on out again. I won 1/21 matches  8)

I too am less likely to block. Heck I dont even know how to block on most games.

No I change my mind again, I think I was fairly average at Bloody Roar 2 as Stun the insect.

but other wise I suck.

[walt]

I suck real bad IMO, but all in all I think I'm average.

Spoiler (click to show)

In SF4 online I win 1 out 5 matches on average, so the whole thing is really a masochistic hobby for me.
In SF3 I was able to beat all my friends but we never played on a very serious level, barely even parried at all.
I can defend myself in pretty much any KOF, but my peak was 98/99. After that I kinda lost track on the subsystems.
I never touch any 3D fighting games like Tekken or Soulcalibur, nor anything published by ArcSystems or Sammy.

I think I'm a casual gamer, and mostly oldschool.

[Foobs]

Am regarded as "Good" in KOF '98 and MVC where i play. Other than that, i think am average.

[Formerly Hoshi]

Above average.
