Why shouldn't i play Alice when learning the game?
the difficulty isn't the only issue
when we discussed it we agreed to stop new players from maining her since she doesn't let you learn the game mechanics
when you play Sittara you understand that :
- early jump-ins are punishable on hit
- normal chains that end with heavy are punishable on block so you need to either special cancel it or bait the opponent
- you can block-cancel a multi-hit special move to beat out your opponent's air special
Alice just kinda ignores all of that and plays her own way
