« EXAMINER.COM: WHY FIGHTING GAMES SUCK »

I'm not entirely sure if the author of this article is a troll or not -- I'll leave that up to our readers to decide -- but either way I have to give it up to Alexander Hinkley for whipping up one of the most hilarious articles I've read in a while. He admits he sucks at the genre but at the same time attempts to detail as to why fighting games are "boring" and require no skill to play. 

I hate spoilers just as much as the next guy, but this is my absolute favorite part of the article -- click here to check out the rest:

Fighters don't really take any skill to play, either. A lot of people probably would disagree with this statement and admittedly, I am personally bad at fighters but only because I have no interest at all in playing them. Being "good" at fighters isn't so much about actually having skill as it is having experience with the game and memorizing all of a character's techniques (which can be a ridiculously lengthy list). Once you can perform any technique at will, the only thing you need to do to become "good" is play the game enough to learn what beats what. Then, when your opponent performs a Dragon Uppercut you know you have to counter with a Fireball immediately. This isn't skill at the actual game, it's just memorization of a rock, paper, scissors mechanic.

Thanks to Jared Rea for the tip... I think.
