@@SonicMaster519 Again, YOMI hustle is only a platform fighter in some aspects (DI being a major example) but it is primarily based on more traditional fighting games along the lines of Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, King of Fighters, etc. These tend to be ridiculously fast paced requiring huge time investments to learn how to do the simplest combos.

this is hilarious because anyone who's watched a lot of FG TASes on TASvideos or Melee/Brawl TASes on YT would probably have seen this coming.

YOMI is essentially casual handmade TAS but the concept of first move loses will still apply regardless. Im sure the meta/players/dev will figure out something (see negative bonus or similar) but for now neutral is gonna be a turtle fest.
