Auto Combos + Mash on Wake-up
I’m usually not the type to whine about accessibility. I think the more people that are able to play fighting games the better for the genre as a whole. More funding, more comp, etc…
That said, in a game where mashing is so strong (on wake-up, landing, against jump-ins, you name it. Mash and you have a decent shot) and the sheer lack of attacks negative enough to get a true punish, I find myself resenting auto combo users in this game. In a game that is so safe, with so much going on at any given time, the trade off of lower damage and scuffed combo routes for a comparatively minimal mental stack and flawless execution just isn’t high enough.
There’s no reason you should be able to hit Diamond 1, DIAMOND, and not know how to do basic things like play neutral or set up pressure.
Granted I got beat by it, skill issue I know. However I guess my point is the amount of “skill” it takes to beat a player that is playing assisted is a bit too high to be enjoyable at times.
