Which Fighting game should YOU play

Many people have played some form of fighting game, whether that has been a Arcade Cabinet or a game like Smash Bros on a home console. The biggest problem I see people talking about with fighting games is that they sometimes are too difficult to start for new players. This guide should help you learn which fighting games are more casual friendly with the controls and mechanics.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate

Smash Ultimate is the perfect starter fighting game: the cast is incredibly wide due to the cast having so many characters from many different games (like Mario, Pokemon, Metal Gear, and Metroid). Due to this, no matter how you like to play there is a character for you. The mechanics of attacks does not require any complex inputs and just requires to press one direction and one button. The goal of the game is to knock the opponent off the stage, and hit them into the blast zone. Some suggested characters to start with would be Mario, Lucina, or Samus.

Dragon Ball Fighterz

Dragon Ball Fighterz is a fighting game based on the animated television series, Dragon Ball. The game has few inputs on each character, and a feature called an “auto-combo.” An auto-combo is a combo that is performed by pressing one button repeatedly. The game makes you use three characters in a single fight, so you can swap out the characters in the middle of a fight, or call them in to do an attack. A suggested team of three for starters would be Broly (DBZ), Base-form Goku, and Yamcha.

Skullgirls

Skullgirls is a bit more advanced than Fighterz, and has less characters than any other fighting game on this list. Each character has a light, medium, and heavy punch and kick. Attacking with them in order will combo together. The game is quite fast-paced, so it is less friendly to those who do not play fighting games normally. The game has a gimmick where you can pick more than one character for a fight, but all characters will have less health, allowing you to choose either quality or quantity. Some for beginners are Miss Fortune, Beowolf and Valentine.

Tekken 7

This game Is definitely the most complex of these games due to the large attack list for each character. The game has a large roster of characters that all are very fun. This game is unique from the bunch, as it allows you to move around the stage in the third dimension. The game is the slowest-paced of the bunch, but plays like a traditional arcade fighter. For new players, some recommended characters are Law, Bob, or Eliza.
