If you've ever felt like it would be really cool to know how to play fighting games but were always intimidated to try.
Don't be. This is the perfect entry for newcomers, and this is the first fighting game I actually ever buy myself.

You can start with Modern (simplified controls) and then transition to Classic once you've learned every basics skills that don't require you to remember or pull off complicated inputs.

And even putting that aside, if you're already a hardcore fighting game fan, this is clearly the best fighting game ever made.
