They really turned it around from that first beta. If the game released like that I would have sworn off Arcsys game forever. It was so bad I was on the fence on buying it for about a month until the 2nd beta came out and course corrected from the original one.

I still think this game should have doubled-down on the use of simple inputs and traditional inputs. They are actually pointless now and I keep doing them because i'm used to playing regular fighting games and everytime I do one I think "I am playing suboptimally stop doing this." But I literally can't

God Dammit.
