I probably need to buy a 360 pad so I can figure out why the buttons I got from unity docs don't work for movement.

I'm in unity too, I dunno if you are using the old or new input system, but the solution is super basic in both cases. D-pad is considered another input, so you just need to add it to your layout. 

 I'll have to think about the strength of shoryu if you find that combo too braindead to be fun.

The combo is fun, the problem is that all enemies (and almost all bosses) just stand in one place to be combod to death. For the first levels can be ok, but after that you need to resolve that in someway, otherwise that combo becomes a magic bullet. My easy suggestion is to do a rerun of zero+zx series and see how they have dealt with that (expecially for bosses). An example that comes to mind is copy X, and the green guardian that fly over the arena, so you can't combo them all the time

- Interesting to hear you find the other bosses less interesting than the Highschooler. Is it just that they wait too long to attack or that they move less than her?

sewer boss is fine, but if you get there at full life you can just combo him nostop and he will die before you. I like his atks but since I can just stand on top of him and kill him I'll do that. 

fire lion boss instead I found just bad because he will just stand still and do an atk once in a while. since it's an immobile boss, make him hit way harder. In a sentence, make me want to dodge his attacks(this is a general tip).

-Also noted all the points on bugs and better feedback, especially on a tutorial. Maybe I should make that my next goal now rather than at end of dev

DD are for this. You have a certain idea on how your game works, then you see a streamer play it and you die a little (check fishking yesterday's vod, he clipped into a wall). In my experience tutorial is essential, and to make a good tutorial you need a lot of time and hard work.
