Incoming same rant about fighting games being easier today and muh 4th place was hard.
Phil's argument makes no sense, he's mad that everyone knows all the moves because of social media, but that's not the problem phil for the fgc, the problem is how easy modern fighters are and how expressionless they've become because the devs make things easier or simplified as well as more aggressive without any other option.
Back in the SF4 days there was ALWAYS forums to learn all the tricks and moves, fighting games are a niche so everyone knew these forums from this genre.
Old players are STILL top players today
Daigo, Knee, Xiohai, Tokido, etc. A lot of them just quit because they have actual families (not a cat) and ACTUAL jobs that pay well unlike fighting games that you rarely can make a career out of.
How the fuck does he get off to beating people that are easy all day, does he not like challenge?
