Mortal Kombat. It's one of the few games where it feels like your inputs have noting to do with what happens on the screen.It's the pace that's wildly different from other 2D fighting games, because of how unforgiving the spacing can be and how the input parser works. Everyone is tall and thin and the buttons are not designed to move forward and land a hit, but to stop the opponent from advancing near you. And if you just mash say a punch button and get stuck throwing a flurry of punches, a better player will inch close enough to sweep you. After which they have the advantage. It can be frustrating to learn the ropes.
