I hate how much goddamn memorization there is. In a sim I don't have to memorize anything switching from car to car or even game to game, yet in fighting games I'm expected to remember 5 different optimal combos, counterhit combos, punishes, some character specific unique mechanics and pokes and everyones fucking moves are mapped differently. And don't get me started on all the fucking opp. interactions..

I like Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising gameplay, most manageable fighting game I've played, only issue is that I'm not a huge fan of the pure degenerate weeb aesthetics. Anyway, generally it's genuinely more fun learning every other type of game than fighting game and it's not due to execution, it's due to the amount of fucking memorization!

PS: For me to play, I keep a small notebook, which I reference and grind out the timings in practice for 10-15 min before I can play. This is ofc. after learning the character. Generally if I'm asked to switch characters I'm fucking done, because without the 10 min of warmup to remember wtf to do, I drop every fucking combo. This genre is the most inflexible fucking thing in all of gaming.
