Why is the fighting game genre no longer mainstream?

The PC port is nigh unplayable

People hate losing and learning, simple as.
The modern playerbase are like a Any Forums and Reddit thread where everything with even a modicum of depth is sweaty and anyone who can understand it is a loser.
We're in an age where a computer dependent society can't even navigate a desktop, if a game doesn't play itself it's too much for them.

Only if you're a brainlet

People are willing to learn more engaging genres. FGs are just too dull.

How about a ft10 to back that up? I'll body you in any game, little man.

The new generation doesnt like admitting they suck team games are popular because you can pull a myriad of reasons out your ass why you lost while with fighting games its you vs another theres no fallback for your ego.

This is also why people get the most saltiest because its a complete mental blowout when someone gets outplayed.

Fgs are the only engaging genre left. Everything is super shallow now like Elden Ring or Valorant

i honestly dont get it was kinda excited for future generations to be more into tech but nothings happened its the same people who couldnt program a vcr

>Arcsissy game on steam died less than a month
Many such cases.

>Release the same game for the 10+ time
>Never fix the controls
Why do fighting game fags think that this genre will ever take off without massive changes?

More like you have to be a brainlet to enjoy fighting games

You know, Brawlhalla does pretty well on its own.

It's still very popular.

2/10 bait

YOU

>A game played by bots does pretty well on its own
No shit.

people who are good can easily dunk on those who are not
people do not like getting dunked on
people no not like practicing a fucking video game to get good

where's the fucking lobby

It's what happens when you gatekeep. You should be happy

on the ps4 version lel

I mean the Any Forums room.

They aren't fun. Having to practice for hours until the game is fun is not fun. Getting on matchmaking only to lose 20 times in a row to FGC autists that dedicate their life to a single genre is not fun.

Fight games ARE NOT fun.

The game launched 10 years ago.

How so? I'm waiting for the rollback netcode + possible discount at the summer so I'm curious.

Oh man fighting games AHHAAHHAHAHAHA

Combos are easy and takes me less than 5 minutes to learn, get a higher IQ.
Modern fighters like Strive and KI have the best netcode in the medium. Nothing comes close to the netcode besides maybe Valorant, even CSGO netcode sucks. You don't care because you play garbage online games like Souls and FFXIV.
There are so many options in fighters, especially characters like Lei, Akira, Oro, Venom, etc. You rarely do the same shit unless you're bad. Not only do you have characters with 200 moves, but you have extremely space and time sensitive characters that open up very different options depending on the distance and timing of attacks. It's why characters need 2 hour guides for basics. The limit to a good character is generally the player.

If we're going to play that retarded game
