Content should be challenging to execute... Not challenging to learn

I kinda agree with OP. I feel like by accepting these type of mechanics, we are selling ourselves short. I like to think that almost everybody that plays this game could beat lots of endgame content without watching videos. I believe you all could. I think its because we live in this society that wants instant gratification and don't want to apply ourselves. Im 36 years old. Ive played games like Ninja Gaiden and mega man, etc. that relied on memory, but it was your own memory of what you saw during your time playing, not studying someone else's play. Thats what made games fun and challenging. Like the other person said, if I told you what my moves are and told you when they were coming, how is that more challenging than just knowing what they are? If there weren't videos online, how many can say they can pass those bosses? I think most of you can, just you don't want to take the time to figure it out, you want someone else to do the thinking for you. Stop selling yourselves short. You are smarter than that. You are capable.

Look at it like this, football players watch video film on other teams to learn what they run and what it looks like. Watching a vid of a fight in this game is akin to watching a football game a week before it happens, then going back in time to play in said game knowing exactly when and where play is going. Thats not "gettin gud" or "learning mechanics", thats called cheating. And the person giving away said info would be called names just as bad...think about it. Would what you do in this game to win was done anywhere else, would you be praised? Or condemned?
