Original Title: In Cosmonaut’s video on fighting games, he disagrees with the common wisdom to “pick a character you think looks cool” if you’re a beginner to fighting games and instead pick an easy-to-learn character. What does everyone think of his reasoning?

Cosmonaut essentially argues that trying to learn a hard character on top of learning fighting games as a newbie isn’t practical because beginner’s aren’t at the level to really use hard characters effectively, and that instead it’s better to learn fighting games with an easy character, saying it’s okay to switch over to harder characters once you’ve gotten a good grasp on the game. Personally, I do kind of agree with him, with one caveat. I think picking an intermediate difficulty character would be fine for a beginner as well.
