This is true no matter wat u do fighting games are hard that it it lik losing weight it a uphill battle for most and some just make it look easy but if it fun and u love the characters u will enjoy it your own way
Been saying it since 2015. If a game is just simplified, it's 2x as easy for new players, but 10x easier for experienced players. If a game has characters you love, doing cool stuff together/against each-other, people will justify reasons to keep playing at any level.
Another reminder that fighting games will NEVER be casual friendly.
Change a million things about the genre, some for the better, but humans HATE losing.
The only sure way to make a fighting game grow with casuals is to make it so cool that they want to push through the pain.
