How casual friendly is this game?

[Naijiro]

I like watching fighting games, but i've never really been big on playing them myself, this one looks really interesting especially with the whole RPG mode, how casual friendly would you say this is from your perspective?

world tour, arcade and pvp with modern control is very casual friendly

What's your personal skill level with these games?

What is your definition of casual? People play on words nowadays I have to ask.

The only real casual fighting game where you can continue to get matches with other people that dont take it so serious is Smash. Every other game filters out their noobs in the first few months and then its mostly people focused on winning instead of just playing for lols.

Capcom is going out of their way to attract more casual gamers. The world tour mode is not only meant to make single player more interesting but is also supposed to teach you the fundamentals of fighting games. Capcom also added modern controls, a simplified (and optional) control scheme that allows you to use special and super moves without using motion inputs.

They've also added a much better training mode complete with guides for every character.

This is definitely the most casual friendly street fighter but it is still a fighting game and I think new players will still have to go through that "lose repeatedly until it clicks" phase.

Fighting games are one of those genres that can never be particularly casual, unless you're having private games with friends. They all require a huge amount of practice and to actually get genuinely skilled, like a real sport - rather than just putting in time to level up and collect gear like in so many other genres.

There's tutorials for everything in the game as well as noobie control schemes.

Also there's noob only Battle Hub rooms

I haven't played a fighting games for years, and played the open beta with modern controls. I'd say it's pretty casual friendly for someone who has carpal tunnel syndrome like me

There has never been a more casual friendly Street Fighter game.

It doesn't matter how accessible is an online game (not only fighting games), if you are a beginner you will be defeated by most people in your first games. But:

- SF6 accessibility, reduces the boring part from learning a fighting game, so you can go straight forward to the fun part. :)

- It will have many players, so you will also find many beginners with a similar level to you.

this genre was made for casuals to be eaten alive.
no matter what kind of "singleplayer content" a developer throws in there.

This seems to try to give people who don't want to devote too much time to a single game a fighting chance. Although you'll get bodied by anyone that actually knows how to play, it has Modern Controls that allow for basic combos without learning any. Also gives you easy one button specials and super moves that are usually somewhat hard to do initially.

Modern Controls are also usable on a higher level if you don't want to learn the classic control scheme.

It also an RPG mode (world tour) that gives pointers on how to play a fighting game through a series of mini-games. It's not a good story mode, but works as a quite a long tutorial to fighting game concepts.

TLDR: It's as new player friendly as it can be but you won't win by mashing against someone that is better than you. Has some single player content that can actually help learn how to fight.

As a casual player of fighting games i can tell you that SF6 is one of the most friendly options, because of the simpler controls even beyond the modern setting.

Furthermore, the new focus attacks and guards do help a bit against newbie stomping rushers that usually populate other games.

Furthermore, the crossplay should ensure that the playerbase stays relatively wide and varied for at least a handful of extra months against the steam only releases.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, if you are a casual like me, you need to understand that in any competitive game, your winning rate will be around 30%

Either use it as an incentive to go one step above casual seeking that 50% or simply accept it for what it is and have fun stealing that one round against that superior player, even if he trounces you for the rest of the match.

Also do remember it has some cool offline modes and even the ability to create your own character, so hey, there´s that if you are into it.

he didn't even go after the online experience, and went straight past any nostalgia of friendly couch to couch into the dingy pay to win arcade scene.
