My current predilection towards fighting games makes these essays about competition and competitive gaming inevitable. Since I am still playing King of Fighters XIII, also being rather miserable at it, I figure I can give a few tips to those aspiring to basic competency. Or, at least, display the accumulated wealth of information that I can convey. To employ one of the most over-used Scripture verses…well, ever:

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;  so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

My words obviously don’t carry the same weight, but I would hope the influence of Scripture comes through whatever I write. Even about fighting games. I think I can get a pass for using 2 Timothy 3:16-17 in that context.

I am beginning to see the level of dedication required to become competent at fighting games.

According to Steam, King of Fighters XIII absorbed twenty-two hours of my life over the past two weeks. How many hours did I actually play competitive matches? Zero. Absolutely none. I messed around in arcade mode a bit, but most of my time went to figuring out what the heck King of Fighters wants the player to do! Why would I spend so much time in training mode?
