I thought the headline was amusing until I realized that I'm only a little more than a decade away from being a sexagenarian who will probably still be playing Street Fighter.
I didn’t find amusing at all, being less than a decade away myself, and having come off a Call of Duty session last night where I’m sure I was in the top half seventy percent of the time. I might be old, but cunning, patience, and strategy can still frag yer ass. :-)
Now at an e-sports level? Frankly I can’t judge as games haven’t been something I put effort into, but I imagine it’s like anything else where there are few outliers, but mostly dominated by younger players. I know I m just not as quick to juggle the multiple things that need tracking, all while trying to line up that headshot. Not crippling by any means, but noticeable. On a “fun on a Friday night” level it doesn’t make much difference, my K/D is about the same as it always was. But once in a while I’ll go up against an organized team and where previously I could help keep it respectable, now we just get run over if the randoms on my team aren’t any good.
In summary, I’m still a pretty good casual player, but I’m not the strong player on any arbitrary team anymore.
Nah. For some reason, I just couldn't get into SFII back in the day. I didn't really start playing SF until Alpha came out. Like a lot of other people, I took a break from video games for a few years, but my interest in SF (and fighting games in general) was revived after seeing EVO Moment #37.
