As mentioned in another thread, the only reason why SFV underperformed was because of its rocky & barebones launch, that's it. The game is actually relatively easy to get into.
That's kinda par the course for fighting games. The demonstrations by other pros usually looks more interesting to watch than fights between developers (unless the dev team has pros within them, like Combofiend with SFV & now MvCI).
I'm talking the thought of marketing this as a hardcore fighting game, via not​mentioning motion controls, and focusing on the "core," which SFV did with the bare bones launch. There's a reason For Honor focused on it's accessible controls and never went too deep into the fighting terminology.
In the case of Splatoon, motion controls prevailed, but that only involved moving the camera vertically. With ARMS having more involved motion controls, I'd imagine that most tournament-goers would just stick with traditional controls.
Marketing towards the core isn't much of an issue as long as you have a decent amount of content from the get-go to keep the casuals happy, which is the issue that SFV faced on its launch. There is such a thing as a happy medium.
Yes, but a happy medium isn't not mentioning motion controls, which is what I'm responding to. The same thing happened with Splatoon, previews focused on motion controls, though some were able to switch if they wanted, though they were at a disadvantage. For all we know, they just don't want to discourage folks if they switch them off and see they have to do advanced inputs to keep up.
Just close your eyes. 😊
Having tried ARMS at one of those switch events in February I can say that the HD rumble was great. You could really feel when you decided to curve a punch midway through it.
Using the analogs most likely.
