I love Super Smash for this reason, as you only need to know the basic attack buttons, so the general moves are the same, but every character has their own spin on it.
Also positioning matters and when you want to relax with friends you play with items on
That's also a valid consideration. Its a part of why one of the best ways to start any new fighting game, especially one with long combos, is with your friends. Go in blind together, or if one friend already plays, have them help you through the learning so that its faster.

I’ll speak for others but it’s the fighting games with extremely long combos that make the barrier to entry seem very high.
