3. An In-Depth Series Of Tutorials

Fighting games are hard. They're hard, incredibly complex and require a whole lot of practice to get even somewhat halfway semi-decent. "Git gud" gets thrown around a lot, but most new players simply don't know how. How does one get good exactly? Where do you start? With too many fighters out there, the answer is "anywhere". Most of the time, you're expected to just jump in and learn as you go. For those thinking about getting into the genre, this is a big barrier of entry that deters them from really getting started. Skullgirls however, is not one such game. Though there are probably plenty of other great examples of fighting games with great in-depth tutorials, Skullgirls is by far one of the best we've seen. Whether you're just getting started with the genre as a whole, or want to jump into learning a certain character's bread and butter combos, Lab Zero's got you covered with several beginner-friendly starting guides.
