well, there isn't really a better game for learning to not suck than xrd. the tutorial systems are expansive and players are generally very friendly and happy to help and/or explain things.

I think I might try Guilty Gear when I get back to my PS4 in the fall, I saw the tutorial modes and it seems to actually have the tutorials that people who say "Fighting games should have better tutorials" are asking for

I played Revelator (not R2) before. Playing randos online kinda demoralized me.

Still concidering getting R2 and giving it another fair shake though,

It totally does and it still got 1/3 the entrants SFV did, and also less than either T7 or Injustice, so it's almost as if the existence of great tutorials is not actually a thing that matters when it comes to popularity.

for every one person who genuinely would get into fighting games if better tutorials were more standard there's ten people who say that but really just like making excuses to themselves

To follow up on this: I picked up Xrd as someone who has pretty much never touched a fighting game in my life. I think Xrd's tutorials are excellent, but fighting games like Xrd have a really huge combined barrier to entry (large number of mechanical inputs + large burden of knowledge for what every character can do and specific matchup knowledge) that tutorials can only alleviate somewhat.

I like cast diversity a lot but drat all these matches in top 8 have been landslides and it's kinda dull! Hope semis shows a little back and forth lol
