You play some more and get better. Nobody starts good at a game unless they spent that time getting good at a similar one. Probably right at launch will be tons of people at your skill level to learn with.
I've spent a good chunk of my childhood playing Tekken 3 with my brother and our friends. I just suck at fighting games :D
This looks more like a Smash clone, which while technically a fighting game, is generally more accessible for people who don't play fighting games. You can be pretty good just mashing buttons at random unlike Tekken or Street Fighter. Just FYI.
Nah, that's not some inherent quality you have. I played fighting games regularly for basically my entire life, but it was only about 5 years ago that I started to really learn how they work under the hood and focused on how to improve. You can too! Also, "learning how to get good" is a skill that transcends any one genre, so I recommend you try it on one game or another.
