that's exactly how it feels to me. the simplicity and fast pace means the mind games are what become most important, not trying to get out of a bunch of option selects or unblockable set play* while playing Fur Elise on your joystick to hit a dozen one-frame links in a row.
when I lose, I know what I did wrong. when I win, it feels deserved. I've put in 130 hours and feel like I'm barely scratching the surface.
*although those Urien/Ibuki proof of concept vids are scaring me. we might be entering the AE vortex edition of SFV soon :(
