Thought I'd have to retire from fighting games because of chronic pain in my hands.
Started playing Street Fighter 6 on a whim and everything about that game goes against my natural execution instincts foe the better.
Because the game is largely link based, I have to be precise. It forces me to press less buttons between blockstrings/combos. The OSes are also a lot less execution-heavy as some of the other games I've played too.
I went with Luke as my first character because of having a chain combo (5LP, 5MP, 5HP) so I can do anime game hit confirms. I've started going away from that sequence, but for a general knee jerk "oh crud gotta punish" punish, having a chain combo is so nice.
Sandblast is a lovely projectile as well. Luke is fun.
This game feels like a second chance for being able to play fighting games. I'm learning the game really slow, (I've only had 3 sessions and made it to Plat 3, I've got a long way to go.) but enjoying every aspect of it.
