The "Official" Fighters Hang Out - Now With More Fighters

[Slacker Magician]

It's not a matter of overall technical difficulty, it's a matter of how difficult the entry barriers are. Tech rolls, cross arts, guard cancel blowback attacks, links, chains, desperation moves, FADCs, Special cancels, EX special cancels, and whatever other jargon I'm forgetting, the point being is that it's a lot of stuff to absorb at any given time really. Not to mention it's no easier with the scum bags that are particularly prevalent in the fight game community, in force mind you. So for someone on the outside it can be pretty discouraging when you just get messages of "go home nub" or straight up "8==========D".
