"Very Hard" difficulty? More like "Impossible".

[Jackie Daytona]

I'm not very good at fighting games. Even so, I figured I could complete simple single-player unlocks. (Like titles.) I was wrong.

With my best characters, I can't get past the 3rd match of Arcade Mode when set to "Very Hard" difficulty. I'm supposed to do this with every character? Okay. That's not going to happen.

Why? Because the A.I. blocks anything that can be blocked. Even worse, it will punish just about anything if it's in a position to do so. Still worse, every time I'm open they hit me with a combo that drains around half my life. Worst of all, it reads my inputs.

I'd have a better chance of dodging raindrops in a hurricane. I'd have a better chance of winning the lottery and becoming president of the U.S. than hitting the a.i. on "Very Hard".

Neutral normals? Blocked. Overheads? Blocked. Low attacks? Blocked. Specials? Blocked. Supers? Blocked. Throws? Teched.

This is exactly like playing online. They block everything. They punish everything. It only takes one of their combos to take most of your health.

You may ask, "If you're so bad at fighting games, what made you think you could do this?"

Well, I saw a video by this guy "The Completionist". In 2 weeks, he became better at fighting games than I ever will be. I figured that if this random dude could do it, I could at least accomplish some of what he did.

Again, I was wrong. I cannot complete the missions with any character. (Let alone all of them.) The last 2 missions for the characters are beyond me. It's like, I'm pressing the buttons, and the moves just aren't connecting. Why? I don't know. They simply don't. Like they aren't supposed to connect.

Play online? No way. I'm losing 80% of my games and it's to people labeled as "Beginner" or "Rookie". As I said, they block everything. They punish everything.

Just like the "Very Hard" a.i., I can't get a hit. There's no opportunity. They just dance back and forth. They only wait to block/punish. If they do anything it's because they know it is 100% safe. If I do anything, they kill me.

I've played many fighting games, and it's the same story with every game. Even at the lowest levels of skill, people online in fighting games are better than I ever will be.

I don't understand it, and I never will.

You can also use a trainer for infinite health in offline mode ;)

I do not recommend using a trainer.
You won't learn a single thing.

I'll be honest, and gentle here. I don't know who your are, how old you are, are your gaming experience, but I will say that I think you are taking things in that thread a bit too seriously. Also, I think you are using the word "troll" a bit too liberally.

What they are doing is serious. It is cyberharassment. I don't have to put up with it.

Telling everyone not to help me is definitely trolling.

lymond の投稿を引用：

What I saw was some folks legitimately trying to help you with your game.

NONE of that answers how to beat the a.i. That's all I want to know. That's it. Nothing more. I don't need a guide to the most difficult combos in the game. That's all they provided.

lymond の投稿を引用：

You are receiving good advice and ignoring it because you are fixated on the word "scrub". The guy was good naturedly trying to give you a manly pep talk. He was not being insulting.

You are insane if you think he called me a scrub to do anything but insult me.

lymond の投稿を引用：

I recommend not being so sensitive.

It's real simple. Don't be a jerk. Don't call people names. Don't insult people. It's not hard. If someone insults me, I haven't done anything wrong! If I get upset or retailiate, I've done nothing wrong!

Learn to laugh at yourself a little too.

NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS FUNNY.

It's a little funny at this point, actually.

You will never win because you are losing to yourself, not the game.
You need to learn some humility.

This game is far from impossible. Is very hard indeed, but also far from impossible, as I said. You just don't know how to play properly. You can't say you have 1000 hours of gameplay all you want. Quantity is no quality. I have played Street Fighter since my 4 years old, but I never was that good in the game, even if I had thought so. Only when Super Street Fighter IV came out and I decided to learn the real rules of the game, I realized how much of a piece of ♥♥♥♥ I was in this game, taking a beat from everyone in online mode. It was more than 20 years of Street Fighter that were worth nothing compared to 1 week of real learning about the game.

Fighting games are easy to play, but is very dificult to master the roots of its rules.

[MorallyBankrupt]

Hard Mode is easy once you get the game down. I bought a PS3, just to play this back in '11 I've been lazy and stuck with simple mode for years and if you're not, get a controller and play.

You know, if you go into the practice mode, you can (huge shocker) practice against the AI you're having trouble beating in a contained enviroment.

Fortune cookie wisdom isn't particularly helpful. I'm not making myself lose. I'm doing everything to win. Your statement makes no sense.

Your current profile picture is a selfie of someone (presumably you) shirtless. Since you feel the need to show the world that you have big chest muscles, I'm not sure you are in a position to be telling anyone to have humility.

As far as my own humility... I'm on an internet forum saying I can't beat the game on the hardest difficulty. If you think that is somehow think that's the opposite of humility, then there's something wrong with you.

It's very much impossible on the highest difficulty. No matter what button I hit, combo I try, or move I use... The opponent blocks literally everything. Throwing doesn't work either. They won't let me close enough to even try.

It is impossible.

Too bad no one will help me with that in any way. Instead people make fun of me, tell me I'm wrong, call me a scrub, and provide links to combo guides for expert players. None of which explains how to play "properly". I can't do the "bnb combo" for any characters!

And if investing 1000s of hours of my life trying to improve in MvC2 results with me having no skill at fighting games... Then maybe I'm not the problem, huh?

Maybe fighting games are too hard. Perhaps the skill cap is too high. Whatever the problem is, it does not lie with me.

Me too. And then I played for 100s of hours. Most of which was spent with just one character in training mode learning combos. It was boring. It wasn't fun. I was monotonous work. Trying for the same combos again and again... over and over... and never getting them right.

And every single time I go online to ask for help, a horde of FGC trolls show up to make fun of me, call me a scrub, and tell me to "git gud". The FGC is the most toxic and hate-filled community on earth.

With no where to turn, I gave up on playing fighting games online. I don't even talk about them much anymore. I don't keep up with the news.

Now I make some comment about the a.i. being impossible, and it's the same as always. "Let's dogpile and troll this guy because he had something negative to say about the game I like!"

Yeah well, I don't have an expert to personally coach me. Which is why I gave up trying. I can't figure it out, and I'm tired of people messing with me over it. It's obvious the FGC will never stop being toxic.

So I've just gotta accept certain things. Like never getting the achievements. I can't win online. Which is why I've stopped entirely. I can't get fight money in SFV because most of it comes from winning online. It's nothing but a waste of time for me. I can't complete trials/missions/challenges. That's out too. I can't even beat the a.i. on the hardest difficulty. I thought I could do at least that. Guess not. Fighting games are too hard.

It's too bad no one can actually just tell me how to play fighting games. Instead of being cryptic and vague all the time.

Glad to see you're back and writing an 1000 character essay at everyone giving you advice. Come back when you stop making excuses.
