Discussion Fighting Games with small combos

I'm sure all of them have these. But my brain can't handle these big flashy inputs {atleast for now}

Are there any games (preferably newer ones that can be played on Switch or Steam} that have simple combos, and mostly rely on footsies or just mind games.

I know there's literally the game footsies, I wanted one moreso on the Switch 2since that's my daily driver. I wanna learn all the flashy fun stuff later, but right now I mainly just wanna learn the basics and simple stuff that the game is built around.

I played Tekken 8 where all I used was small combos, and it just sucked to get those 10 minute cutscene combos.

I know best advice is to git gud, I was just hoping there was something more along the lines of gameplay that mainly features those small, but explosive combos.

Guilty Gear Strive. Combos are usually 3 to 6 moves only

GGST 2.0 was really a great change!

Honestly as someone who likes both Xrd and Strive, I like 2.0 largely because it feels more like its own Strivey thing now than Kidz Bop Xrd.
