If youre playing street fighter or somethin classic like that....you just suck...cause those games do take some mad shkrillz. It takes a bit of playin to get good, unlike all these new age fighting games where you can just button mash holding the controller upside down...

They are (partly) so hard because they weren't designed with a keyboard in mind.

I don't mind fighting games when they are in arcades but I don't like them on consoles.

old games tend to take more skill than new games. new games are more complex, but when you separate all the components and simplify them to their core elements they can be as simple as "press x when you see specimen y on screen".

It's been a long time since I played a fighting game but they were all a matter of timing and memorization. Each character usually has one move that devastates them when executed at the right moment.
