No one likes getting their digital butt kicked, but that can be a learning experience in itself. Players can read all the frame data, twiddle in the practice modes, and watch combo videos or tournament matches all day. It just won't feel as fun or as rewarding as just playing the game and messing around. They may even discover something they overlooked in the process, or something will click, and they'll finally pull off that tricky mode they had trouble with.
