Community makes online boring
The game itself offers a lot of options to box your opponent. The environments allow for dynamic combat situations that you don’t really get in other arena fighters. 182 characters with so many combat options you could have 6+ different teams if you wanted. What does everyone do online? Fusion, UI, Afterimage Strike, and instant spark.
And I’d go so far as to argue the things listed wouldn’t be that bad if it wasn’t so frequent. It feels like every game you’re combatting the ki bar instead of your opponent.
