finally.. fighting game chess!

lets you skip the execution barrier of fighting games, which seems to be the barrier of entry for most people.
the game is still difficult to get into even as a fighting game enjoyer, you can imagine it'll be worse if you're newer as there's a lot to study/understand before you can even start playing the "yomi" side of things. because of this my only gripe is to maybe add descriptions or properties of each move, it took me a while to figure out that ninja's jump kick is projectile immune! that kind of information is really important to understand why you would use specific moves and to have more intentionality when throwing out something. but i guess it depends on your stance, some may find it fun to experiment and learn as you go, which is heavily encouraged with the trial and error visual predicitons.

regardless, game is fantastic so far considering it's still early access. this game is pure mind games and knowing you've checkmated someone feels so rewarding. just seeing the final outcome of the match in normal speed is orgasmic, even better if you are the winner.
super excited to see the future of this game!
