Why do YOU have a passion for fighters?

[SZSR]

Any attachment to them from your childhood or just found it later in life and just got hooked?

I liked them because they were the only games that my brother and I could play without one hogging the controller.

MKII was the first game I became "addicted" to as a kid. It was the beginning.

It's kind of like playing chess. You're going 1 on 1 with someone and have to outsmart them. Plus I like to win. That's why lol.

 

[Rampage254]

Because I use to play fighters a lot with my dad and brother and just loved how much fun it was. I also love how you can't blame anyone but yourself for your losses.

Honestly, it all comes down to it being 1v1. Fighters requiring more skill than most other games is also a reason. It's ultimately about competition. Fighters are one of the only genres that truly give me that competitive feel and satisfaction. When I beat someone in a fighting game I know that the only reason they lost was because of me. I didn't rely on a teammate, I beat them. It's just so much more satisfying to me.

I'm just competitive at heart and Fighters fuel that competitive need. Plus... they're fun, lol.

Umk3 was the first game I ever played at 3 years old, it's been with me most of my life. :s

And that feeling when you beat someone in a 1v1 through smart plays, it's amazing.

 

[DeathAndHealing]

That feeling when you win.

 

[FrothyOmen]

Because I want to stop losing one day.

 

[OutworldKeith]

I love chess, and I think it's one of the best games ever made. Fighters are like chess, but WAAAAAY cooler! lol

 

[Lumpymoomilk]

It's the only kind of non single player game that I can do decently in. I suck at FPS and other than fighting games I play RPG's mostly.

My passion for fighting games started cause my entire family loved them, first fighting game ever for me was MK2 I believe.

My sisters played Mileena and Kitana and my brothers played Raiden, Sub-Zero and Scorpion...I usually played the obscure characters lol.

It brought all of us together and it was a blast, trash talk and all the laughs.

I'm not a competitive person, but I love a good fighter...there's so much strategy behind fighting games that keeps me hooked.

I think I love the fast reactions you have to have, and I've always been drawn to martial arts so anything like MK, SF, etc. has been my love for 20 years.

 

[DragonPick]

Thank my parents. I was raised on kung fu movies I couldn't understand and fighting games.

 

[Big Frog]

Started with wrestling for me back in the 90's. I loved it back when guys would actually have themes like Sting, Kane, Undertaker, etc etc and fighters was the same kind of deal. Everyone had some type of theme mixed with the badassery, got hooked. I'm not even one of those people that seek competition or look for a tough challenge. I guess you could say I like the costumes and themes/movesets more than actually fighting...

 

[Squeaker101]

It's all been said, the fact that it all depends on YOU. I also love the feeling when you win, and even better when someone gives you props.

It also looked cool. Especially the combos.

 

[Euphoric]

Grew up playing MK and KI for SNES. Played all the MK to UMK3, didn't touch 3d ones, (it didn't interest me). Than MK9 came out, which brought back memories of playing classic MKs with my cousins as a kid and getting comboed all day by Kabal, Shang, is the character that stands out. Joined I guess MK community or "FGC" 2 years ago, learned about other Fighters specifically Capcom. The skill and hype for FGs is unmatched, only thing that comes close is the Gears of War series, that community is HYPE.

I wanna keep learning, develop a deeper understanding where I can truly be a "top" player.
