#02 - How on earth should I enjoy this game?
For beginners starting the game, how to enjoy this game
๐พ Why is this game so daunting?
In most fighting games, it's daunting to figure out "how to climb the ladder," but in this game, it's hard to even see where the ladder itself is.
Arcade Mode's CPU is so easy that you'll see the ending in a week, and if you jump straight into ranked matches, you're likely to get beaten by experienced players 9 out of 10 times.
โจ Reasons why you should still play this game
