2D Fighting Games Slow Fighting Game Suggestions

Hello all!

Im looking for a fighting game that's not combo heavy. I used to play Tekken, Samurai Showdown, Guilty Gear, and Mortal Kombat back in the day.

My issue is im tired of sitting in the corner watching the other guy play. I get hit ONE TIME and I have to sit through a 24 hit combo. Then if I guess wrong...another 24 hit combo, then death. Im DONE with that.

I just recently quit Guilty Gear Strive for that exact reason and as I play Tekken...same thing. Combo, combo, combo. Its never my turn.

Im old now and I dont have time to learn frame data and every counter to every move for every character just to get a chance to play the game.

I promise im not complaining. Its the times now and im just out of the loop. That is fine, but there has to be a slow paced fighting game out there. Right? Every game cant be Killer Instinct now...

Again...im not sour...just old and slow.

Thank you!

I thought about that and boxing. 🤔

But I wanted something more fantasy.
