Well the game wouldn't be rewarding if it was piss easy to play right away. A couple years ain't terrible compared to other FGs.
It's not about being piss easy, the game is just way too unforgiving. I feel like I'd be doing better if I was just a mashy scrub, at least then it would be harder to hold every single thing I do.
Hmm... It's not any less forgiving than other fighters. VF & Tekken can be just as unforgiving with their smaller health bars.
I played Tekken, and that game is way more forgiving than this game. when I lost in that game I felt outplayed, in this game I just feel handicapped.
