    Likely. I recall starting to get my butt kicked in arcade fighting games by preteens as I was getting to the end of high school and the amount of time I could get to the arcade was way down. In addition when I was younger lasting longer on that quarter was a bigger deal.

      I have respect for people like you that can play those. I’m great at FPS and tactical / strategy games but I never got good at fighting games. Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Super Smash Bros, I get my ass handed to me no matter how much I play!

        I’m pretty good to excellent at any FPS or Fighter that I’ve put my mind to but I can really struggle with RPGs due to the minutia of character and equipment management. I don’t WANT to write a Masters level thesis on how to min / max a character nor spend two days puzzling over exactly how to stack perks and bonuses from equipment, skills, and spells.

        If you can do that then you’re a better RPG player than I will ever be.
