[@LargeInCharge77]

If your gonna play a fighting game get it early while the player base is as big as it will be

[@jeremoople]

Fighting games are the one genre you always want to buy week 1 instead of waiting for a sale. Makes it MUCH easier to find players your skill level and therefore MUCH easier to learn the game and have fun doing so. And if it's a more niche game (aka anything other than Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Smash, or Tekken) you pretty much have to play it when it's still new to even stand a chance. I made the mistake of starting Granblue (which is supposed to be a beginner-friendly game) when it was just about half a year old and I got so frustrated, it almost put me off of fighting games altogether
