One of the recent trends in the fighting games industry is to expand the playing audience by making the matches more accessible for casual gamers. Like it or not, but the process has already started, and it brings very good results — financially and in the number of active players.

However great this sounds, the power of casual players may not be greeted well by everyone in the community. The biggest concern is that taking steps toward accessibility is possible strictly at the cost of many deep mechanics, which made the fighting genre as great as it is now.

Casual players are a mighty power to reckon with. But we should not forget about the traditions that reward skills and dedicated practice. Our new video is about these two opposites and a chance to find a perfect balance — for the FGC’s amazing future.
