It's definitely not an easy game to pick up because of how strict some of the combos are execution wise, but that doesn't stop me from having fun because the gameplay is phenomenal.

Servers and matchmaking
Players who bring up Servers and matchmaking mostly praise it.
It also sucks that you have to find matches though discord these days, but if you have a scene that plays it regularly, they more than likely play this version online because it's the only one that got rollback netcode implemented.
