Im a middle Xer and one on one fighting games were huge. I was not into them but playing against a human was big.
Yeah and fighting games still are massive these days, it's been great to see them explode back into the scene. However playing them online against random faceless strangers holds no appeal to me.
I honestly was never big on adversarial like that but I like coop.
the major advantage that fighting games have in person is yhat it basically requires you to respect one another else get kicked out of thr venue and potentially get banned in local events. The being together in person allows comradery, and which is one of the reasons why FGC is very LGBTQ+ friendly, while things terminally online gets the worst people.
basically the level of anonymity and lack thereof of a good punishment for cheating is what holds online games back.
Well it used to be still pretty aggro in person, so anonymity wasn't the only reason some people are assholes. Nobody was gonna get banned for anything short of destruction of equipment for the most part. That fgc is mostly gone but shows up every now and then.
