I'm with you on Street Fighter. I love fighting games, but I suck at them. Especially when playing against real people. My mind freezes up, I start forgetting how to do special moves, and I make stupid mistakes as I fumble around, trying to remember how to fight.

I suck at the Theatrhythm series, but I'm still enjoying Final Bar Line on Expert. Seeing people get SSS on the highest difficulty just melts my brain as I can't multitask my fingers to different buttons like that, espcially when you have to use the arrows with the sticks🤣

i don’t usually comment but i feel like now would be a good time to , im 30 and been heavily into multiplayer games since i was 16-17 ( gears , cod , apex , fortnite etc. ) & to make a long story short i recently have been getting so bored and frustrated with it , every game feels like a rinse and repeat for me and just feels like i’m forcing myself to play when i don’t really want to , i used to find fun in it & was getting sad about not having as much fun as i did over the years & i would like to say thank you cause you and your videos reminded me that there is so much more to gaming then multiplayer games ( i just recently found your channel ) i’m looking into playing a lot more different things and idk i just felt like i should say thank you for that .

Catherine, on PS3. I liked it a lot and advanced quite a bit in it, but nah I wasn't really good ; I tried a lot but nah ! Also, this adventure-RPG-dungeon crawler type of game named "Saga", on Amstrad CPC ; check this game because you might appreciate it ! It was very interesting but very tricky to go through the various obstacles early on... Fun fact (and it's not to brag but in order to explain something about the life experience of playing) videogames are a deep passion to me (like several other things in my life ; and like many of us here), and since I was super young (like 2 and a half years old) it's revealed to be a second nature and I've always understood the mechanics of all games and always have been able to be great at any game if the will/desire was there... You know, you're good from start but you excel after a lil while playing... But yeah, this Catherine it really didn't click with my usual abilities ! Whether I was taking it easy or seriously, the result was pretty much the same ! Hahaha ^^ It's always a bliss to fail, it puts things in perspective, therefore you relativize and appreciate everything more in life. *Btw, like you I'm a huge fan of the Street Fighter series and characters ; as same as you it's a great passion of mine over the years (one of my fav items is a red tank top with the original logo title in yellow on it) ; I wasn't great (even if lovin' it) but was fairly good up until Alpha 3 when I started to be a beast unbeatable anywhere I was going for years (then I started to transmit a lot of my drills to people I met in order to make them become tough to beat, until they did) ; was okay on Third Strike (did not play it much because it was a bit complicated to have it here, up until later years at the time of IV when it then became easy to access it) and was still pretty great again on IV and V... But I don't feel it with VI ; we'll see (none of my 5 mains is in it, but I'll try to master some of the newcomers) ! Again, not bragging but I've always been at ease with pinballs... I don't compete because it's only in the big cities here, and I don't wanna spend money just to go there and compete ^^ but on Pinball FX I have many (like, one third of the tables) scores that are in the Top 20-25 or top 50something, 2 in the Top10, and except from 2-3 tables I have everything in the top 200 at least.

All pokemon games right from gen 1 have all been huge games with a lot of content. If you aren't totally done with them maybe you could try one more and go in with a set plan which is how I play them and replay them I've played them all from gen 1 to gen 8 and replayed several dozens of times. I'd recommend trying still the combat in pokemon games if you get deep into it is surprisingly complex and in-depth even compared to most turn-based RPGs. Its complex enough that they have tournaments with pro players but also simple enough that you can beat the games only knowing 1/20th of the strategy. You pick a team of 6 and only raise them (or maybe up to 10 and swap out a few for variety). Then that limits the amount you focus on. Don't worry about getting all the bonus items, catching pokemon and content just playthrough to the end initially. Thats the basic formula for how I replay the games and it doesn't take nearly as much time maybe 20-30 hours per playthrough. Since I memorized the pokemon pretty much I actually look at them all on a website then pick a team of 6 before I even start playing to avoid wasting exp and time by ditching one or two of them because I forgot about one that show sup later in the game. Then they become insanely replayable; when you're bored 1-2 years later you can play the same game again and pick a different team of 6. Rinse and repeat it you can play the same few pokemon games for 20 years and still not use all the pokemon. You can complete the pokedex by catching all the pokemon if you want but its a huge grind and I only did it twice in pokemon red and silver. The pokedex just got too huge after gen 2 that i stopped bothering plus its impossible to complete because every game after gen 1 has pokemon that you cannot get without a special event.

You nailed it when you said that you’d be good at any game with dedication. I’m with you with Mega Man. I tried playing 1-6 on emulator and abused the life out of save states. It awed me that people became obsessed with those games, but good for them having fun.

This resonated with me a lot. I find I’m bad at most games, but I’ll keep trying. I love shmups and fighters but man, I’m pretty awful at them. I keep coming back though. If I was more patient, I’d probably be a lot better, or just slightly less terrible.

I love Touhou! I also REALLY suck at the games, but I still like giving it a try every now and then, but I haven't put in enough time to practice dodging millions of bullets on the screen. I'll just settle with listening to the music, and appreciating the character designs and stuff.

An interesting conversation topic, to be sure, and even more interesting still when you mix disabilities and aging into the picture. It's worth considering: the split between failing to understand what needs to be done and having a body that fails to execute properly, but on to a good faith response! On the specific topic you ask, I still have no clue how pinball works and any game that requires the player to understand any kind of sport flies over my head unless it's a management game that prioritizes spreadsheets over the sport you're managing. And the pinnacle, the one type of game I just can't *ever* fully enjoy is player vs player experiences. Fighting games, racing games, shooters... if the only point is beating someone else I just don't understand how I could enjoy it (but absolutely understand people are often competitive and power to those that enjoy competition) All the way back to the beginning of my life I would rather cheer for someone at an arcade than be the person trying to win. Not all games are made for every person and, as you did, it's always important (and healthy) for everyone to learn what their preferred experiences are and what experiences are enjoyed by others, and the best recommendations come from when the overlap is well known.

Oh man I feel you so much with the whole pinball thing. My best friend was unbelievable (compared to myself) at pinball games. He just "got" it. I never could. Didn't matter how much I practiced, didn't matter how many hours I dedicated to it, I loved it but I was utterly crap at it. My mate would boot up any game we had, walk in and beat all my high scores within 5 minutes and I might have toiled hard for that score for hours 🤣 Nope, a genre I like but I just can't do it.

I always enjoy your videos very much on KZread Johnny sincerely Wayne

I feel you with the fps games. Solo is fun but online I suck a them. I'm also not good with simulation games and I was never good with shoot em ups.

For me my struggle is the NES Ninja Gaidens, I love them but I literally struggle to this day!!!

I hear u, I'm 68 now & I used to be good at Retro Shooters & Platformers in the 80's, however I cant play them at all now, also if a game requires too many different button combinations I can get confused & the arthritis in my hand acts up! Tip for Souls games Save quit & copy save to usb then reload it when u mess up thats why I bought Elden Ring for PS4 & not 5

much respect for being honest!

I was never great at street fighter 2 turbo. I played my friend who entered into tournaments against the likes of Daigo. I played him like 100 matches and lost every time. I wish you would post tips on how to count frames or whatnot in that game. A happy console gamer tutorial would be dope!

Johnny have you ever gone into detail on playing street fighter competitively when you were younger? It sounds like you may have done tournaments? I’d love to hear that story. Love your videos brodie

Lmao yoooo I’m dying at the pinball section

I really enjoy your channel... I generally suck at strategy games. This goes back to the days of Starcraft. I loved that series but I stink. I'm trying out Three Houses now ;)

That’s where I find myself with all the dark souls games. I want to play them but for me the frustration very quickly outpaces the fun

Good question, my first choice of games i suck was a Nes version including super mario bros (nes version) My second choice of games i suck is original Street Fighter, (& no, i’m not talk about fighting games, Street Fighter 2, SF Alpha, SF3, SF4, SFV & etc... I’m talking about the original 1987 Street Fighter, the first one.) My first complaint was the movement was a bit sluggish. My second was the input lag of special move command, sure the special moves are overpowered, but it’s very difficult to execute this move due to bad input lag.

I just started elden ring a week ago, and after about 15 hours of trying, I've come to the conclusion that I absolutely have to farm for runes. There's so many bosses and minibosses that exhaust your stamina gauge when dodging that it leaves no stamina to actually land an attack. So yah, time to spend the next 40 levels on getting my stamina bar to fill my entire screen.

Here's JOHNNY

I used to suck at shmups, but I've been putting some effort lately and now I can 1CC a few shooters like Tengai, GG Aleste 3 and Samurai Aces

The way Johnny is with Street Fighter is the way I am with FP shooters. My days of dominating in Halo and Call of Duty are over. I still enjoy games like BioShock, DOOM, and Splatoon but realize the days of me being at the top of the leaderboard online are over. I’m a RPG guy mainly now

I've tried really hard to get into Psykio's arcade shooters (Gunbird, Strikers 1945, Samurai Aces). I feel they are all structured similarly and I usually eat it about the 4th stage in due to the fast bullets from the boss. I'm really into shooters, its just the Psykio ones I suck at.

Ive always been kind of bad at shmups. I love them and Ill always pick them up whenever I can but the only ones ive been able to beat are the Cotton games and even then i have to use continues on the newest one

I'm just like you. I am not great at online shooters or the Souls type games. Back in the day when my friends were all playing Mortal Kombat in the arcades while I was honing my skills in SF2. I was tough to beat.

I'm decent at the games I grew up with (mega man, contra, mario). I grew up playing fighting games but never got decent until street fighter 2 hyper fighting showed up on Xbox live in the mid 2000s. My friend and I would spend hours playing online. We both started with Ryu, and after we learned what we were doing we branched out into different characters. He went with Chun, I went with Honda. Playing together, we were able to point out to each other habits we didn't realize we had. We ended up in the top 100 over the course of a year. Had a blast doing it. To this day we still get together when we can and rack up some matches. If you want to learn fighting games, get a training partner. It was one of the most rewarding gaming experiences of my entire life.

Those MegaMan games were so tough back in the day 😂 Football games are my weakness

Shmups are my biggest weakness!! I love playing them. I love all the different types. I grew up with Gradius… but I am horrible at those games.

When talking about metroidvanias, I've played and beat Metroids 1, 3, 4, and 5, and I've played a few other metroidvanias here and there, but I'm having the hardest time with Hollow Knight! That game is very hard! I feel like I've gotten pretty far, but I've run into several difficulty walls that made me put the game down, because it's blocking my progression.

I’m with you in the online shooters!

Johnny's relationship with Mega Man, is like mine with BloodBorne. Except I traded my copy in when it was worth $40. 🤣

“For me, it was Tuesday” nice street fighter live action reference

Back in the mid 90s i rented Megaman 1-5 and x1 - x2. i beat everyone of them with ease. 20 years later i owned the collection on steam and i cant beat any of them

The Pre-Metroidvania Castlevania's still give me problems. I struggled with much of Elden Ring but still put in over a hundred hours because it's just so dang awesome. The one I'm most embarrassed by is Civilization VI. I really want to get into it, but I can't even figure out what to do. The game tries to tell me, but I just can't get it, and then I feel stupid lol.
