This is a fricking turn based fighting game where you play as stickfigures 
with various moves and try to beat your opponent. You need to balance your attack frames, position, attacks and everything in order to kill the fricking enemy. After the fricking fight it then compiles everything into a fricking little video where you see the fricking fight at normal speed.
It also allows for custom characters if both players want them but the fricking four (technically five) base game characters are fricking already fun enough and pretty good.
here's a fricking trailer:
everything can be tunes in lobby settings so player turns can be reduced from the fricking base 30 seconds to turning off predictions so players have to use more skill to allowing more leniency in parry's so shit looks cooler. It's pretty frickin cool and it can all be tuned

I wasn't crazy on it albeit.
Too complex to be a simple game when that's what I was looking for, but I enjoy the fact it was attempted as a concept

I tried getting a friend into fighting games, and YOMI Hustle was the one that really grabbed him
He has actually played it way more than me alone & with other friends, still hasn't really gotten into actual FGs though 
You're totally right, it's pretty complex, but it helps that it's operating with Smash Bros physics and has no execution, which gets the foot in the door easily.
I will say though, matches take way too long for an rDrama tourney, even if you reduce the turn timer.
THAT'S WHY EVERYONE SHOULD BE SIGNING UP FOR THE /H/KAPPA MONTHLY TOURNAMENTS

Could really help to have some sort of AI so you can practice.
Getting stomped by people online who know what they're doing works too I guess...
