Melee rewards speed and reads that snowball fast, this rewards patience and a single correct read at the right moment, both demanding but in almost opposite ways

Compared to Smash it rewards precision over chaos, or maybe I mean patience more than precision honestly.
Donato_1990
The parry system rewards precise timing in a way few fighters match, though the input windows punish anyone without arcade-level reflexes. Newcomers bounce off hard.

Same here, clicks or falls apart, no in between really

La precisión que mencionás es justo lo que separa a este juego de casi todo lo demás en el género.

Same debates, same defenders, same 82 percent win rate flexed every single thread.
GerhardByte
same 82 percent flex every thread, meanwhile I'm still stuck losing to the same three moves
BossOwl1995
this game deserves way more respect than 107th honestly, the parry system alone puts it above half the roster of newer fighters people rank higher, i still boot it up sometimes just to feel dumb again for an hour
GlitchPilot
Ce respect qu'il inspire est mérité, mais ça reste une barrière énorme pour qui débarque aujourd'hui.
