if I could I'd make every combat designer on earth be required to play until completion with a decent score:
SF2 Super Turbo
Final Fight 2
Alien vs Predator (arcade)
SF Alpha 2
SF3 3rd Strike
KOF 98 UMFE
KOF 2002UM
Real Bout Fatal Fury
KOF XI
GODHAND
DMC1
DMC3
DMC4SE
Shinobi (ps2)
GOW 1-3
RE4 (original)
RE5 Mercenaries
Yakuza 0
SpikeOut
Virtua Fighter 4
learn framedata, hitstun, counters, grabs, whiff punishing, spacing, oki, footsies and hitboxes
and learn that you need good base mechanics to not make actual garbage
for the love of God stop using sweeping hitboxes for attacks everywhere
stop doing tracking moves all the time (for both enemy and player)
AND PLAY SOMETHING THAT'S NOT DARK SOULS OR SEKIRO
