It's a fighting game without the usual barrier to entry of fighting games, that being general execution. People kinda take it for granted, but things like combos are really hard to hit as a new player, and a lot of the time it can put people off when the vast majority of the cool things you can do you need to practice regularly for weeks to be able to get to do decently often, especially when your hands just kinda... can't do that? Eliminating that and focusing in on prediction and decision making skills make YOMI Hustle way more accessible to me, and it would probably be a really good entry point for a lot of people who would otherwise be just unable to get into fighting games. As a bonus, the modding scene's great, so while a four character roster might feel a bit bare to some people it's not like you can't fill it out yourself really easily and find characters that appeal to you. I admittedly haven't played very long, but it's absolutely worth the money, Ivy's done a really good job here, as have all of the modders who've decided to toss in their own ideas.
