Fighting game mastery

[Shibuya]

Damnit!!!!! Damnit!!!!! why is there so many damn fighting games out???? Some people say there isnt enough but for me there are too damn many.....Im a hardcore fighting fan but there are so many that im fairly decent at some but wanna excel to mastery...For example....Cvs2 and 3rd strike i need to step up my game in....but then there is Guilty Gear....then i still have to import KoF11 and NGBC. Just gotta 360 and wanna get good at DOA4 and SFHF. Soul Caliber and Tekken i need to brush up on as well......Then i have some friends that play oldies like SFex3, SF anthology, and KOF maxium impact so i wanna compete with them so i try to practice in those as well...Then tourneys come around in games that maybe i didnt focus as much in then i dont get far in brackets!!!! There is 2 sides of me....the side that works, goes out for drinks, hang out wit non players and talk to ladies and then there is the hardcore gaming side....and i dont even wanna mention playin other games like wow, halo2, and some rpgs!!! What the hell is a gamer suppose to do??????

It depends..I play almost everything and try to learn it to a high level...and start with fighters...

My goal is to be a great overall gamer..so I juggle playing all these games too..

And excel in fighters..sure I'm behind..but I'm always behind..

And I always try to stay ontop of everything..so you've got to understand what is mastery??

Because unless the game is like 7+ years old like the CAPcom games...mastery for any game is hard to achieve because there is always something new to discover...

I am the hardcore gamer side...and I try to balance with the fun talking to ladies side...

But the games win 95% of the time..and its probably evident in how many threads I post stuff in..

Pick a few games and specialize in them, play others as side games.

At the moment I'm playing GGXX Slash and Melty Blood: Act Cadenza as my main games, but I play a TON of games on the side that I'm nowhere near as good at.

Also, you could try dividing your play time with each game a little. Try practicing a different game each day or something? I dunno if it works, but it's just a suggestion.

Dude I do what I want..all you gotta do is spend more time ignoring..got it??

Good...Try it..it works..
