Anyone can research a fight before hand; that's what they should be doing anyways. Whether or not that can utilize that knowledge to properly execute a proper strategy is where the skill comes into play. Not all fights as simple as "stand here, mash buttons, don't stand in the fire", though MMOs have their fair share of that as well. Obviously, these would require little skill since all you really need to know is FIRE BAD. Then there are some that have immensely complex mechanics, such in that a single mistake means you're going to lose.
