Footsie heavy fighting game

He, I’m still pretty new to fighting games and play usf4 atm trying to get somewhat competent.

I’m searching for a game I can play secondary to improve my overall knowledge of fighting games in general and specifically footsies. Can you recommend me a game for ps3? I thought about CvS2 . Or ST but I shy away from it cause the matches seem to be over so quick and the cast ain’t that big.

I’m always of the opinion that if you want to get better at a specific game, you need to play that specific game. USFIV footsies are different because of things like focus, etc.

CvS2-Footsie heavy game, but from what I understand a subpar port.
3s-You didn’t mention it, but it’s also footsie heavy game. Big on whiff punishing, but parrying changes the dynamic a bit.
ST-Matches are over quick because of real damage, nothing like encouraging you to not get hit by Dictator’s st. forward or Roundhouse during footsies like it taking 15-20% of your life. Small cast does not mean lack of diversity (this is a fallacy that a lot of new players make the mistake of believing)
