I think Forsburn is sick but I'm genuinely too stupid to play him. It feels like you have to manage a massive mental stack just to be able to do things that other characters do more easily. The same could probably be said of Absa. She doesn't seem bad, she just has to work hard.

Melee players are like people who refuse to eat anything other than the same dinosaur chicken nuggets they've been eating for the past two decades. I love Melee, Melee is easily much more technically demanding than RoA2, but the fact is that it's new, it's good, and it's being updated every month. Fighting games in general have a Goldilocks problem, where people will simply refuse to play anything that isn't "just right", which is never realistic.

It's basically Project M but not yoked to daddy Nintendo. It's cheap, DLC characters are free, there's enough account- and character-based progression to keep me engaged, the online works well, movement is fast and fluid, and there's a lot of skill expression in the gameplay. I can't really think of another game I've played this year that I've enjoyed more. Tournaments have been fun to watch.

I love encountering people with friendly fire on in seamless co-op, it's always hilarious. I tried DS3 seamless co-op with a few friends, but we lost interest in Irithyll. The first act of the game is such a slog, even in multiplayer.

SF6 is stacked with international competitors if that's something that interests you. Melee just ended. Rivals of Aether 2 top 8 is on right now if you like platform fighters.
