Fighting game noob playing on keyboard for 20-ish hours went like this:
1st hour - 'what are these cursed controls, how is this playable'
2nd & 3rd hour - adjusting keybinds and trying stuff out in training mode(can barely do inputs)
4th & 5th hour - goofing around with friends but starting to hit our first combos
6th hour - getting rolled by gamers in online lobbies(Nier ragdolled me for 15 seconds to death)
7-10th hours - finally getting some good wins in there against my better friends and getting familiar with the systems, having a blast learning

and all the rest up to the 20th hour have been my most memorable experiences of this year with my friends, can't wait to play more and I fell in love with the game so much that I had to buy it even though it's ridiculously expensive for someone from an underdeveloped country like me

The free version is very generous and has a big chunk of the content unlocked - most locked things are cosmetics, so I'd recommend it to anyone keen on trying out a fighting game and if you like the art/characters then there's even more to enjoy, as all of them are pretty quirky and have fitting(for their character) interactions with everyone else

Overall a banger of a game and something that reminded me how good it feels to have a proper adrenaline-filled fight, that also gives me a lot of flashy attacks to use or look at

After playing 700 hours, I feel like the game's pretty flawed, but fun with friends or if you have someone who's at your skill lvl to play against, but maybe that's just fighting games in general
