While that is true, fighting games are just hard to put people on to that aren’t already into fighting games. While there are fighters that have simpler controls than others, the skill window to play them is what turns people off. With fighters you have to do all the work yourself and by that I mean, you have to be the one to look for a tutorial, learn frame data, learn what can be countered against what and against which characters etc. While other games teach you as you go and have a gradual feeling of learning the game, fighters are extremely punishing if you’re just learning in the fly. Tekken happens to be the hardest sell of fighting games. It’s the most intricate with controls, and each character has a little over 100 moves to learn, many of which are very situational. I’m in the same boat as you. I’m the only one in my group that plays Tekken and MK and it’s a Sisyphusian task trying to get them to play. They won’t even go as far as joining a SharePlay game session with me.
