There is a "middle class", if you will, that exists. I know this because I am in it. I've played every PS game since Soul Blade/Edge in the arcade and on PS1, and I have been a pretty steady fan of the series. Not because some "competitive" player told me it was good, but because I had fun playing it. I just never got into the whole tournament scene, in this or any other fighting game series. But now that fighting games have gone online, I enjoy competing with other more casual players. CaS is just another way for me to enjoy the game, as I enjoy making fighters and showing them off as well as checking out other people's fighters online. (NAMCO please add a fighter share option! LOL!) And being a more casual player does not mean that I suck, either. I'm probably at the 50 percentile mark when it comes to "skill" in this game. I win some, I lose some. Either way, I have fun.
