It's also just that this game is easy to get into, so many very new players learn very fast. Nobody stays in one place, so you rarely find someone equally a zero like you if you just joined. Even a few days can be the difference between smoking someone. And it's not like they aren't there, but people don't wait 8 hours a day just to find you. And remember, this is a fighting game. Not only is it a mind game, but every little thing someone knows about the game more than you - is a huge advantage. Even basic facts.
Cheaters are extremely rare, but unfortunately there are indeed people who exploit either steam or maybe game files to start fresh in ranked, they are called smurfs, you could find one or two and maybe the same one a few times in a raw. There are also people who simply migrated from consoles... All these factors combined could explain your poor experience.
So my advice is to just try to have a good attitude(you're not here to prove anything any time soon. You just started - means you're garbage biotrash as far as anyone is concerned), perceive every loss as a learning experience. If you don't have friends irl or social platforms like discord to play with you in ring matches, ranked is the best place. Expect to lose a lot, the game doesn't want you to wait 10+ minutes to find an opponent with exactly your gameplay time. Yeeeaaah you won't have a pretty score at first, but that will change and if it bothers you enough to care - you're doing it wrong. Don't be a sore loser. Don't be a smurf. Do your best and you'll improve really fast and will find yourself beating a lot of opponents and really enjoying the game, but it might not happen in one or two days.
hate it how this game is just about performing high dmg combos instead of focusing more about the neutral game...like when to use an anti air, deffend... its like 90% not dropping your combo and 10% winning neutral game...
I understand why it is fun for some people who are playing it for a longer duration, but the game had not enough fun parts for me to take this time of beeing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and suffer...seems not worthy for such an endgame.
Also OP: I don't want to actually try to get better at the game. What kind of nonsense is that!?
Shut up ffs

The_Dybbuk_King just gets half of the first post.
also The_Dybbuk_King: dosent get the second post but want to reply hes mad anyways.
Sorry but calm down Kid
The answer that you want is in the complaint you pose.
"I don't want to learn to play, because I want to play against people my level so I can learn to play, which is not knowing anything at all".
In other words, you want to mash buttons and win, which just isn't feasible unless you're playing Fly! Punch! Boom!
If you think combos are what carry, you lost before you started. You're looking for things to blame and complain about and it's unrealistic or simply untrue. The neutral in this game is pretty solid, it's just that at lower levels people fall prey to really simple things that they, like you, REFUSE to spend 5 minutes googling how to deal with said simple things.
The only way you're going to FIND people to play the game with is if you show some kind of interest in actually learning how to play it.
Imagine joining a chess club, then being like "Man this game is so bad, I miss when chess wasn't ruined by people planning out their moves and THINKING instead of just moving at random and on whims."
I'm terrible at combos, but yet I'm still enjoying busting through ranked. I haven't played in almost a year now and despite the changes, it's not like the game lost neutral in the update. If anything it GAINED more neutral.
So, my only advice to you is this:
1 • Open yourself up to the idea of learning. Your attitude is pretty crappy, and it shows REALLY clearly by the way you talk. Like a Sith, you deal in Hyperbolic absolutes. "I can't find people my level because they block *EVERYTHING* and land *EVERY* combo." "I don't want to have to MASTER a character just to play a little". "I miss the days when the game wasn't ONLY about combos and NEVER has any neutral".....none of these things are accurate. I 100% assure you that on the other side of the connection, there's a guy frantically trying to remember how to do his BnB too. And if they're truly a more experienced player, they'll be out of the matchmaking queue and your rank super quickly.
All of this is to say that your "Well I can't get it fed to me, so I guess I'll starve" attitude is REALLY going to hamper you no matter WHAT you do. This goes for things outside gaming, and my calling your attitude crappy isn't me trying to call *you* crappy. I've been that guy. I still sometimes end up being that guy who gets frustrated with a fighting game, and so my next suggestion is:
2 • Think about what constitutes "Neutral" for you.
DBFZ is FULL of Neutral and footsies....but you have to have a mild experience with playing the game and understanding the universal mechanics, like understanding the rules of a board game.
You don't have to MASTER a character to play them. You gave up before you even looked at what the BnB is, because if you had done that little bit of practice, you'd understand that the BnB is fairly similar across most characters, and that learning one makes learning ANYTHING else a million times easier.
Again, I am NOT a combo master. I have labbed very little, and instead have learned what I know by playing when I didn't know, and just getting my ass kicked, which leads to the final point.
3 • "They beat me so they're smurfs".
Okay, what's more likely?: Thousands of people blowing $110 every time they win like 5 games so they can play against newbies (Because they're not going to match you against people who are MASSIVELY above your rank unless there's literally nobody else in the server, which is rare.).....OR: You, as someone who REFUSES TO LEARN THE BASIC "RULES" OF THE GAME, just....lost 10 times in a row because of tilt and a lack of understanding?
Because honestly, if you believe that every person you run into who beats you is "Cheating" then you have no place playing any online games, ever. Yes, I'm sure that there has been a smurf at some point, but nobody is going to spend hundreds of dollars a week just to play a few games of DBFZ against a new guy who doesn't know what he's doing, because they can just keep using their normal account and go play casual matching, and....ya'know....not pay $110.
Ask for help, learn to play, and keep your chin up. People are happy to practice with you if you just ask for help learning to play, or will point you in the right direction of where you should get started. Even the first reply was trying to share information with you, and how did you respond? You shut it down with more vague hyperbolic complaints, flat out false information, and then get toxic when people get annoyed at your toxic attitude stinking the place up when people are trying to help.
TL/DR; OP you need to grow up a little bit and stop blaming other people for your failures when you refuse to help yourself, be helped, and help others help you.
Im to tired to answer all of your opinions, just accept my opinion that I dont like the game enough to learn it more.
but just the last sentence:
"TL/DR; OP you need to grow up a little bit and stop blaming other people for your failures when you refuse to help yourself, be helped, and help others help you."
I think you put to much thoughts into somebody who was ranting about a fighting game
Nah, you sinply refuse to learn and read posts, I recommend uninstall, refund and move on, fighting games aren't for you, you need time to train and get better, just like every game, you need to play DM to improve aim and pug-mix for game sense-performance for get better at CSGO, the difference here is fighting games are individual and depend 100% of you, you need to practice and rematch all you can or you will be trash for ever.
not everyone can devote 300hrs into this stupid as$ game just to enjoy it. sometimes people want to enjoy their purchase.
So, you can't enjoy the game because people is better than you?
why are you implying this to be a bad thing? why do you think smurfs are so hated? there is no way to enjoy this game other than winning or being able to fight back with a decent effort. if your opponent is better than you then you literally cannot enjoy the match as you fail basically everything. then for your defeats you are consigned to spend hundreds of more hours in the lab to enjoy the game, prevented from playing the game until you get better.
So, learn and improve isn't fun for you, right?
I think get better or training is forbidden for you, that is your problem, you can't deal with it, you need to lose for get better AND IF YOU LOSE IS TOTALLY OK, is a game, somebody will lose eventually, lose and rematching is a way to improve fast.
But play this game only for win from the begin without effort is a big fail and a mistake, glad you already uninstall, this game isn't for you.
