Great game, but impossible to play against a human as a new player. The sheer knowledge and skill gap between Stone 300 and Stone 350 is immense (this is the lowest rank tier). Even if this wasn't the case, there are so few new players that I was constantly up against people not even in my rank. If you already play platform fighters I think this is a great option. But if you don't have experience don't expect a fair matchup, unless you are willing to dedicate many hours to close the massive skill/knowledge gap. Unfortunately, unless a game like this has a massive player base, it is doomed to only accrue players from similar games who have hundreds of hours of experience, as there is no respite for players like me. That's not on the devs at all. It's just an unfortunate reality.

The only good smash clone to ever exist lol. game is really great but lack of casual elements turns newcomers away from it, however the game is pretty much STILL in beta so when they finish everything in like 3 years im sure it will be peak
