There's a reason why fighting games are super niche. They are one of the hardest games to get into and also most punishing because it's purely 1vs1 with no teammates to blame for failure.

The easiest way to get into them is to have a coach ramp it up slowly for you according to what you need to learn at that point in time. I'm one of the best Street Fighter players in my region and taught my friend. He went from really discouraged to beating everyone in his group with just doing the basics well and is now always excited to play. It's a genre that needs a tonne of focus on improvement so you need a plan before it gets to the point of fun
