Every fighting game I've played (Honorable mention to Dead or Alive 3 for not being so bad at this) has been utterly unsuitable for casual play. There's always some weird glitchy seeming behavior that requires hours and hours of practice to viably use but once mastered yeilds a devastating enough advantage that there's no point in playing against it unless you've mastered it as well. I initially thought SSBM was difffernent, something younger people could just pick up and have fun playing, but a year living in a dorm full of wave dashing, frame counting maniacs took all the fun out of it for me. Now I hate the game with a passion. I say let the fighting games go to the people willing to devote themselves to them and if you want to have fun with your friends do something else.
