But while single player modes are an essential part of fighting games (and some companies learned this lesson the hard way), it can be safely stated that the most important part of these games are the multiplayer modes. Multiplayer has been the meat and potatoes of most any modern Fighting Game pretty much since the inception of the genre. If you go to any reputable arcade with Fighting Games, you'll often see many people playing them. Depending on your skill level, playing against a random opponent can range from very easy to NintendoHard; the latter especially if you're a new player. This is one of the reasons arcades rely on fighters for profit: instead of just playing the same stages or CPU-controlled opponents over and over, a player can come across opponents of all skill levels and styles, and it's this aspect that makes fighting games very popular for multiplayer and has given birth to the UsefulNotes/FightingGameCommunity. This is also one of the reasons that home versions come out far more often [[MediaNotes/PCVsConsole on consoles]]; most PC monitors just aren't big enough for more than one person.
