Accessibility Notes
You'll need to be able to quickly block, counter and evade attacks, and fast reactions, rapid-pressing and multiple buttons, sometimes held, is often essential. You can practice against computer-controlled opponents.
While the text is high contrast, there are many areas where it is quite small, making it difficult to read or unclear.
While it is played on a 2D plane, making it relatively straightforward to navigate, and each player is highlighted, it can be easy to lose track of opponents and your location in games due to their being very fast-paced, brightly coloured and flashy.
As all the information is conveyed visually/textually, no sound is needed.
