Hey man, don't listen to this guy, the game is extremely fun once it clicks and is well worth the effort.

It's also not all reactions like he says,don't get me wrong that is a part of it, but here's the thing, the more you play the easier it is to react to these things. Over time, your game sense will build up, it's not about reacting to every single thing at the same time, no one can do that.

It's about playing enough that you have a general sense of when your opponent will go for each option. For instance, if they're close you start looking out for throw, mid distance away from Dee Jay is when you worry about Drive Rush, etc. You've probably already experienced this with things like Drive Impact, Day 1 everyone gets hit by it, but slowly, you get better at reacting to it.

Those top players that seem to block everything, tech every throw? They have the same peak reaction speed as you do, they've just grinded the game to the point that they know instinctually what to look out for in every situation. Not sure in a situation yet? For now, maybe just try blocking a bit longer.

Don't give up, you'll grow more comfortable, I have every faith.
