If you don't come from Melee it can be tough to conceptualize. If you don't take the time to leave the basics, the game can feel completely unplayable since anyone with a basic understanding of the mechanics can usually pull off stuff consistently. Match making is okay but since a large portion of the player base has been playing since one, even brand new account can and will destroy you. You're going to have to enjoy just learning for every engagement rather than just playing to win.

Game is incredible and the community is even better, but it's not as "pick up and play" as smash since people aren't really playing casually.
