The one huge thing I wanna give strive is that it is probably one of the best entry level fighting games I've played
I'm mostly saying this as somebody who hasn't played too many traditional fighters.
It's very flashy, pretty cool presentation, a relatively small cast of fighters, and simple learning curve as well
It's flashiness basically brings in newcomers, and simplicity keeps them hooked, at least in my experience
It has a large enough playerbase to at least help me learn in scales enough to get the hold of the game feel. Then it was learning one step at a time: Combos, learning about what other characters can do and how to react, tension management, figuring out how to best use roman cancels, and so on.
Because of it's simple curve, however, it does leave me yearning for a bit more chaotic gameplay, but thanks to that it's at least given me a good gamesense and feel for how 2d fighters work. After this, I Moved onto Accent Core, and having a blast there, taking what I learned here to not get too overwhelmed over there.
It's a really really simple and solid fighting game. You're never really going to see anyone doing something insane or crazy with it IMO, but it's simple enough to get your toes into the water and used to the genre as a whole.
