It's funny, my old roommate was/is in a similar boat...bad at fighting games but really gets into those evo moments and for that matter, new character reveals. If you've seen the SSF4 new character vids, they're exciting with awesome music, combos, and supers/ultras. Even Smash Bros we got super excited waiting for the next reveal and talking about it. Speaking of evo moments...I DO hope everyone has seen the SF3 ken vs chun li most epic moment in game history...in fact I'm gonna go watch that again =P
Getting good at fighting games can be a daunting task though. I'm not super amazing or anything, but I'm good enough to beat most normal players or bottom tier tourney people lol. You can get far on just timing and good mind games. The rest of it is just practice and seeing what other characters can do, and sadly I don't have the time to get past the base point anymore, but they're still fun. My best was when Soul Calibur 2 and Smash Melee, that was the only time I could consider myself tourney level and won a lot of competitions. It's definitely a fun and awesome feeling if you're willing to put the time into it.
So yeah, totally veered off topic here, but best way to get in there is pick a new game coming out, like the Persona fighting game, though I dunno if that would go evo...but keeps you on even ground at least. Cons in general though are great to see some different tactics and high lvl play in general. I always went to the game room at some point to see the competition there.
Make sure you get pics of all the crazy cosplayers =P
