I can't stand it. Assassins and Warden's ZA are making my attempts at enjoying this game very difficult. If matched against an equally skilled opponent that is not an assassin or Warden I come out on top 50/50. If it's against any of those though I might as well not even try. I've been playing a lot of Shugoki lately and his playstyle is to be patient and trade blows but I can't do that when I get chipped away at so quickly by feints into zones/fast lights/guardbreaks. I'm not saying that my opponents need to stop mixing it up so I can beat them, no it's just that mixups are hard enough to defend against (and should be!) but when you add speed into it, the mixups can't be reacted to. Maybe I'm trash but winning against these fast characters seems like chance.

TLDR: Slow this game down a bit so that when I successfully react against something, it isn't just do to luck.
