As someone who loves the Avatar universe, the game naturally caught my eye. I'm thinking about buying it, but I wanted to get your opinions on whether it's worth it for a casual fighting game player, or if the game requires a lot of dedication just to have fun.

I'm new to fighting games and having trouble with Zuko into characters like Korra that have strong anti-airs and limit my ability to approach. I'm playing June support.

I like Zuko and his playstyle but he seems very hard to pull off compared to some of the rest of the cast (directional dive kick flow cancels for instance). I tried out Korra/Toph/Kyoshi and found their auto combos do basically as much damage, give armor, and took basically zero practice, then ended up having a higher winrate on them in unranked just mashing buttons...

Any Zuko mains with some advice vs. these other characters, especially on closing distance and engaging? I'm not good enough to pull off insanely long combos, just the ones from the training scenarios. Or would it be better if I stopped trying to regain my honor and just accept banishment and switch to an easier character for a noob?

So far, I've only played her against my friends (we all equally don't know how to play the game, so it was pretty fun button mashing) but now that I've actually learned all her inputs, I feel like I've taken up an entire different world of fighting games. I main Asuka on Tekken and I know Korra is pretty rush down, so did I make a poor decision or do I just force problems and learn her? (Also a main recommendation would be amazing heh heh heh)
