Would you recommend this game to someone who has never played a plat-fighter before?

I saw the game is currently discounted on steam and wanted to give it a try bc the art-style is right up my ally and the game seems fun, but I saw the game is kinda hard to learn and there's not a lot of people online so ranked matches maybe a bit difficult.

I'm not a hardcore player by any means. I've only played smash bros very causally years ago with my friends purely for fun. Idk if this counts as plat-fighter experience.
