Damn, I'm a FGC zoomer. I did grow up on MK Trilogy, Smash, & KI Gold for the N64. Did play some rival schools, mvc2, & power stone on the Dreamcast along with all of 3D era Mortal Kombat on the OG Xbox.
I played MvC3 & UMvC3 for a year each after launch. I didn't know of the FGC or fundamental ideas like meaties so I was still an extreme casual pressing buttons. It wasn't until Killer Instinct 2013 where I found out about online brackets & the FGC. Went to my first offline thanks to that game.
Nowadays? SF6 is cool, Guilty Gear Strive is definitely a favorite but don't play it as much as I used to. Mortal Kombat 1 though? I'm hooked. I know I know. NRS player but man that game is 1000x better than MK11 in terms of gameplay. I've also been labbing Skullgirls on the side to play with a couple friends casually as we wait for Project L.
I'm also a fan of the indie games out there. Arcus Chroma, Punch Planet, lethal league blaze (not really a FG but still slaps), your only move is hustle, ultra fight DA kyanta 2 (peak kusoge gameplay). It's just mad fun convincing at least 1 friend to hop on & play some random game for a bit. As much as I've enjoyed having that DAWG in me to grind & compete, it's been nice to just not stress about that stuff.
You're doing it right playing all kinds of fighting games! Also, I'm right there with you not putting the time in like I used to. With IV, I had every version on PC and PS3 and I don't even want to know how many hours I sunk into that game. Nowadays I barely play video games anymore, period. I bought Street Fighter 6 and started with Deejay. It's very fun, but I didn't stick with it :) part of becoming a grown-up, I suppose.
Turning 30 soon but I'll always put aside some time to play a game. Too many good games out there & not enough time though. Pizza Tower, lethal company, baldurs gate 3, Mario wonder, smrpg remake. Those are only some of my favorites I played. I know there's just so much more this year alone in the indie scene I want to play.
