I'd say Tekken and Soulcalibur are the only two fighters that I wouldn't consider myself absolutely thrash at. Plus the game is also much slower than SFV, which definitely helped. Plus, 3D fighters just feel way simpler to me in terms of neutral game and general game plan. Even the fact that special moves don't usually require special motions was really helpful to me, because it meant I could actually focus on learning how to play the game instead of also first having to learn how to even control it. The execution barrier for combos is just way lower, to the point where you can learn basic ones in minutes, and that alone went a long way for me. As someone who really sucks at fighters, I had a much easier time getting into Tekken than SFV.
