After many, many failed attempts to get a feel for this on single player, I booted it up with a friend on Fightcade and it turns out with two people it kinda kicks ass.
It's still really obtuse, though. We did three games (all of which I won :sunglasses:) and I still don't really get half of the mechanics. I really don't think I would feel like returning to try single player, which has to count against something I suppose. A tutorial would've helped a fair amount, I think.
The takeaway here is to grab a friend if possible for this one. The learning curve is a lot less irritating when you have a second person to bumble around with, similarly to a lot of fighting games around the same time. Maybe Mortal Kombat is secretly a good game with two players, too.
