this. The social aspect will be matching with randos in ranked. Over the course of DBfZ I made like 3 psn friends who I'd play with. They got pretty good. I think I stagnated a bit. There are discord groups to find matches nowadays.
Many friends IRL are too prideful and wrathful and envious to play fighting games with half the time, genuinely tweaking sore losers. Plus theyre often just not that interested in the genre and that is completely fair. I give em props for usually wanting to check out the new stuff on a casual level tho and try out some characters when the game launchs.
a game like this is a solo endeavor where youll want to keep getting better. I went to a convention where they had DBFZ set up and sat down with cool black people on 2 different occasions and played with them for a while.
all of this to say
>>718715460 (OP) this game is gonna be plenty popular and there will be lots of opponents at every skill level. Just don't expect the game to really fill your social batteries or be a big normie friendgroup thing. They will certainly want to try it at least once casually, everybody likes at least one Marvel hero and the artsyle has a nu-japanesey appeal
let it ride OP don't worry about what other people think
