Are fighting games hard? Perception or reality?

This week we discuss whether fighting games are hard, drawing upon insights from an interview with Harada, Tekken's producer. We explore various factors that contribute to the perceived difficulty of fighting games, including game mechanics, execution requirements, the mental and psychological aspects, and the learning curve associated with mastering these games. Throughout the episode, we discuss the importance of accessibility features and tutorials introduced by developers to ease new players into the genre. We also address the role of the FGC in creating educational content to support newcomers.
