I promise I'm trying to enjoy Guilty Gear, I'm REALLY trying, but... nnnnnnggghh

Every single thing about it is so counterintuitive and I hate having to go to the training room every time I want to figure out an interaction (and half the time I can't do it because I don't own the DLC characters)

Also I keep missing motion inputs and it's So Frustrating because I KNOW what I want to do but I physically cannot do it

Honestly, I think the game is just bad

Like, it's bad. It's poorly designed. Everything about it is unclear and obscure. It's just that people who have been banging their heads against games like this for years have figured out how to extract a good game out of it and have made tons of fan content to explain it

But it's not enough. It's never going to be enough if the game isn't designed from the ground up to be accessible

@socks huh. I know I'm going at it very casually but I've found it super accessible as someone who hasn't played a traditional fighting game

@socks there's an argument to be made against the input system, iirc Street Fighter has an alternative to that now
