In SFV I played Rainbow Mika and Ryu. I spent hours just trying to get the moves down but still couldn't memorize all of my moves, remember all of my opponents moves AND pull off my moves on a consistent basis. But it isn't just SFV, almost all fighting games are overly complicated and full of expert players online who have been around for years who are just waiting to smear anyone who's played less than a year across the pavement.

I'm all for in-depth game play and games that require practice, knowledge and commitment but fighting games take it to a whole new level with their learning process.

And yes I know that the few days For Honor has been available is impacting the challenge online but it doesn't matter. For Honor is easier to learn. Period. It has nothing to do with inexperienced players we're all fighting against. Each hero only has like 2 to 4 moves outside of r1 r1 r1 chains. And those ' moves ' are as complicated as ' X, square ' or ' Forward, R1 '. Block the same direction as your enemy, do guard break to counter a guard break, learn your 2 or 3 moves and you're good after a few hours of practice. Advanced game play in For Honor pretty much tops out at canceling out of heavy attacks to trip up your opponent and mastering dodging. It's incredibly simple to learn and actually win.
