I wish I could be good at fighting games but I don’t have the technical skills/muscle memory for it. Lots of overlap with chess and go, but in real time. RTS games I have the same problem, despite playing them for most of my life.

Confidently I got into Fighting games and RTS games from Chess in middle school. My parents didn’t want me playing “violent” games that had contemporary violence (like a Call Of Duty) and let me buy/play games that had violence that was either 3rd person like an RTS or absurd like fighting game. I have always liked games that make think about how I’m playing them rather than just responding to whatever the “current” meta is. The moment to moment in an RTS or a Fighter is very much like Chess in that you’re constantly examining yourself and yourself in respect to your opponent and vice versa.
