Kirk’s Three Types of Video Game Friction
Mechanical Friction: Relating to inputs and interaction. i.e. kinesthetics, “game feel”
Certain moves require complex inputs or timing
Beating a boss means not just attacking but reacting/countering
Combat’s relationship to animation, e.g. locked animation means you can't interrupt attacks and dodge whenever you want
