I have 1 friend who has played a lot of smash and is stringing me along with getting into Guilty Gear, the rest are either FPS normies or Nintentards (nonpejorative) 
Has anyone here gotten friends into FGs? 
I have not felt highs during gaming as euphoric as winning a set 3-1 to someone who washed me in game 1 and started teabagging me 
but I don't understand how I can convey that to people who don't really care 
I'm not even fricking good either so it's not like I would pound them to dust, I forget that FD is a thing constantly

Most fighting games are stupid because you have to memorize a ton of weird combos. I don't have the desire to dedicate that much bandwidth to useless shit. Virtua Fighter is the only fighting game that I like because the moves are easy and intuitive rather than things like "Mash the top two buttons while moving your joystick in a semicircle and then press the bottom two buttons simultaneously"

Well then you don't understand part of the appeal, and that's okay
You can just play modern Zangief in SF6 and be hardstuck at silver, as long as you're having fun who cares
Seriously though, a fightstick took my enjoyment from a 3 to a 9, smacking the buttons loud as frick and cranking the stick feels good
And combos make fighting games look like crazy fight scenes, when you put 2 half way competent players against each other you can have some sick moments

But why are there different combos? If I know the combos of char A, that doesn't mean I know the combos of char B (sure, sometimes there's an overlap). Just have every char have a combo on quarter-circle + button. That is what is annoying me.

Neighbor are you mixing up special moves and combos?
Why would you want an entire roster of essentially one character reskinned 20 times?
That is the logical conclusion of just having every character mash X for an optimal combo
There's plenty of fighting games that don't have motion inputs, if you're talking about special moves.

Ur lost in the sauce, these days most fighting games are like two buttons into a special for 80% of the damage of a more complicated combo.

My friend got me into playing competitive Smash and DBFZ for a while. I genuinely enjoyed DBFZ but the mental illness of the friend got way too much, like constantly trying to argue with me about why I slotted some character instead of one he liked more. Felt like at some point he lost the plot of why fighting games were fun. I viewed them as a way of expressing creativity through styles and mixups and he viewed it as an ego thing and would only learn the "meta" shit. Idk it was just exhausting after a while.

Are you a libertarian or something? Seriously, all major smash players are libertarians and never shower.

Soren, Soren
The whole day through (the whole day through)
Just an old sweet
song
Keeps Soren
on my mind (Soren on my mind)
I said Soren
Soren
A song of you (a song of you)
Comes as sweet
and clear
As moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile
tenderly
Still in peaceful
dreams I see
The road leads back to you
I said Soren
Oh Soren, no peace
I find (no peace 
I find)
Just an old sweet
song
Keeps Soren
on my mind (Soren on my mind)
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile
tenderly
Still in peaceful
dreams I see
The road leads back to you
Whoa-whoa, Soren
Soren
No peace, no peace
I find
Just an old, sweet
song
Keeps Soren

Oh Soren, where can I begin
About this feeling that I'm in
Since Soren came to us
We've been living in a dream
And now it's like a nightmare
Where nothing will be right 'til
You see the light of day
All I want is just to hold you
Won't you give me this one chance
I know these words are coming
From my heart out through my hands
I never meant to hurt you
Please Soren, if there's anyone
Who could help me now
It's you, you're the one
This hurt I'm feeling
Won't go away today
Somewhere in this haze
There's got to be some way
I've been looking in the eyes
Of pictures on the walls
And talking to the dolls in
Strange imaginary talks
I've been up all night
Waiting for the break of day
Cause when there's no Soren
You see the other side of gray
