Is Nintendo's ARMS TOO hard(core)?

Nintendo’s unique new fighting game, appropriately titled ARMS, has been out for 2 weeks now. Upon first glance of this game, it is easy to see it as a kid-friendly, casual fighter. Upon second glance, you may see a casual fighter with a surprising amount of customization and depth to it. However, after spending nearly 30 hours with the game spread across 14 days, it has become evident to me that ARMS may not be a casual fighter at all, but is instead a family-friendly, Nintendo developed game, that was actually made for a hardcore audience. Now, maybe to those of you who haven’t played the game, or maybe even to those of you who have, that statement might seem crazy. Let me explain.
