Do you remember how you learned to play your first fighting game?I’m not talking about the first time you sat down with a buddy and mashed buttons until you got tired and switched to Mario Kart — I’m talking about the time you looked at a fighting game and thought, “Darn it, I want to get good at this.” It probably took you a long time and a lot of hard work, especially if you didn’t have a group of people to play with regularly that were close to your skill level.
Fighting games are beautiful. A good fighting game teaches you about your opponent; a great fighting game teaches you about yourself. But they’re very, very hard to learn — and rarely do we have someone who is willing to take the time out to teach us.
