Traditional Fighting Games make almost no sense to my puny brain and SFV feels very much not beginner friendly. The tutorials are pretty awful, but could easily be fixed by allowing you to implement aspects of training mode into them. As it stands, they did not help me learn any aspect of the game and this game was not fun to play as a result. Also, none of the characters appealed to me which made this even harder to get into. Despite being absolute trash at these kinds of games, ones like Guilty Gear, Skullgirls, and MvC at least have characters I think are cool and want to attempt to learn. SFV had just about nothing and didn't explain any of the mechanics, so I would say to avoid this one if it's your first rodeo unfortunately.

@PierreMenard literally yes. i spent all day writing down the moves of a character and what they all do and their frame advantages and im having much more fun now. still think the game is not beginner friendly, and also has a really cumbersome friend and lobby system. at least it has rollback.

The rollback isn't even good though, they fucked up implementing it and when a fan offered a fix they intentionally broke it and didn't fix it.

@Silverhand lol yeah one of my friends still teleports around like a fuckin abra. the rest are fine though and i've had issues with their connections in other games so it still is better than delay
