2XKO's controls throw even veteran fighting game players for a loop despite 'simple inputs' (2024)

After 5 years since it was first teased at Evo 2019, 2XKO is finally in the hands of players at home with the closed Alpha Lab test that's now underway.

Prior to this test, many in the fighting game community were worried Riot may be aiming too much at "casual players" for their League of Legends spin-off with the simple controls and 2v2 systems, but now that it's here... impressions are kinda looking like the exact opposite of that.

We've witnessed quite a bit of discussion going on in the FGC these past few days regarding 2XKO's controls, and now that we've gotten to put some hours into the alpha test too, trying to get a sense of full control over the game has proved a bit more challenging than expected.
