Don't blame you, a lot of people are turned off by the game because wavedashing (and L-canceling) is so emphasized and it is hard to learn and then even harder to implement into your gameplay. But if you like the grind, like I did, that's basically the whole game, which I love to death. After you learn it, it becomes muscle memory, like all the tech, you don't even have to think about it after you learn it.
