Street fighter 4
Street fighter 4 on xbox. It made me so angry I took out the disc and smashed it to bits. I am a stressed out person but not a violent one I was surprised at myself. In my opinion the game is too hard, the AI beat me on super super easy (I am the worlds worst street fighter). To be fair to me the instructions are non existent and when they are there, they are always never very helpful. I have an HD screen and I couldn't read the writing on how to do the characters special moves, and I have an HD screen. No I dont need glasses I have a good optician (My screen is HIGH DEFINITION so that is not the problem). One instruction I could make out was two joysticks going opposite ways saying charge and then a kick symbol. I looked through the rule book and it had nothing on charge......ok. So I held the two joysticks the opposite ways and then immediately after I did a kick.....nothing. Even when I worked out one of Ryu's special moves hadoken (blue fire shoot thing) I could not always pull it off because the controls are so fucked. So yeah the game is too hard for me, the instructions aren't there, and the controls don't always work.
you seem to have had the same problems I had when starting street fighter 2 the controls were just alien although charge wasnt a problem as it said in the manual hold back for 2 seconds and then press forward and either punch or kick at the same time but back in the day I could never pull off a fireball qcf on a SNES pad get outta here and z motion for dragon punch I didnt even know what that was. Nowadays the controls are even more difficult double QCF for example and there is much more emphasis placed on combos and linking of normal and special moves which is not easy if youre new in fact long combos are not easy period.
Fighting games make me angrier more often than every other game, this gen I have only had to turn off the console twice and calm down once was against silver kasumi in DOA4 and the other was Seth in SF4 god damn I raged so hard.
This is a general problem for me I love fighting games but goddamn they piss me off sometimes usually its the final boss which is cheap as hell and absolutely zero fun and yet they keep making them.
Silver Kasumi,Seth,Shao Kahn,Galactus,Those bastards at the end of KoFXIII,unlimited hazuma,bloody marie it goes on they just break all the established rules (stupid amounts of armour/health etc ridiculously Op moves, button reading, ridiculous cancels) and are a pain in the arse to fight not fun in the slightest Soul Calibur was better in a way by restricting the cheating bastards to legendary souls mode although the A ranked fighters were rage inducing at times.
Why cant we have challenging but fun bosses like M.bison/dictator (not sagat though FU sagat) or Tengu from DOA2?
