As a new player this game is extremely frustrating

As someone who is also fairly new to the fighting game genre, the only forgiving point on the game is only the character design and animations, and the few evenly matched games you come across.

From a new player perspectives, it’s frustrating that the main part of the game is online play, which feels like the biggest problem. Queue takes forever due to low player count (even with any region any skill), the few players you do meet are either sweaty try hards or afk dbags. Even the supposedly new players with “low match count/experience” feel like they’ve been playing for ages.

I apologize for the rant or if this has been issued/already discussed a lot in the past, but I feel like there is so much potential in the game that seems like we’ll never reach.
