Well I've never been any good at combos or playing cheaply, so it was probably not the kind of game that would of suited me anyways.
I mean it's really easy to do the combos, but I still couldn't, I mean in missions or practice I could, in matches, not really, I never got the chance to do so.
I couldn't really play the characters I wanted to play as (no matter what anyone says, they were too weak to compete with boring sentinel or wolverine) I gave it chance after chance, got abused endlessly online, lost to people, who really, weren't even trying very hard at all, but won anyways because of their characters, and because this game rewards cheap players.
I haven't played Blazblue or Guilty Gear X, I haven't played Tekken very much, but I can imagine the players of those games would find the combos ridiculously easy to do in this game, and I'm pretty sure I've ran into such people, because their tactics were so, so, bad, yet, they land one crouching light attack and my character is dead.
The online matching is TERRIBLE, you end up fighting some of the strongest players in the game when you're starting out, and I didn't advance in rank at all, I got to 9th Judge rank and delevelled to Fighter over and over again.
The final straw was me doing pretty well against this guy with my Captain America after spending a good week practicing all the combos and trying to learn how to do everything better. I only played as cap because the characters I liked were too weak and always lost, so I was doing pretty good, then this guy yells NOOOB over the mic, even though he was like 4 ranks higher than me, starts talking like an idiot saying FAGGG after everything he does, then he starts beating the crap out of me saying fag like 100 more times, using the cheapest tactics ever.
Since the matching system is so great, I get to fight him again straight afterwards, and what does he do? fucking Sentinel beam spam & Doom assist. I'm so tired of super jumping just to have to block Doom's missles and come back down again that I just give up and turtle in the corner while this guys laughs his head off pressing his one button saying FAG or YOU DON'T LIKE IT WHEN I DO THIS, DO YOU!? HAHAHAH
Like seriously? I have to take this? what did I even do to this guy? nothing.
But this guy is a grade A moron and can do all this fancy crap without trying while I'm struggling and can't do any of it particularly well.
I have zero motivation to improve or keep playing, I mean I DID try, I DID give it another chance, multiple times, I DID practice, just to get walked all over and insulted by idiots doing the bare minimum or copying stuff from youtube videos.
And it's not like I barely played it, I had like 600+ matches or something like that, and there was no improvement at all.
I'm glad I sold it, what a fucking waste of time.
