Accessibility Notes
Can play with 1 button & Single Stick or use the D-Pad inputs. Same for playing on a keyboard.
There are no simultaneous button presses but you do have directional input sequences, similar to what you would have in traditional fighting games. Relatively simple as far as those go, but still worth noting.
While there is Competitive Difficulty, this only really applies to one of the two game modes, specifically the 1v1 fighting mode.
For Visual Distractions, the opacity of the speed-lines that frequently appear can be tweaked, including disabling them.
