awesome game. That's all I can say

THIS GAME IS AWESOME

Absolutely great game. Huge roster full of cool characters, deep mechanics, good netcode, and a lot more offline content than I expected (that I don't play). Story and Arcade get pretty bs once you get to the boss but Survival mode is cool because you get to upgrade your character after each shadow kill.

Online works a lot like Fightcade, with a massive Quick Match lobby that you lets you challenge anybody there. You can also make regular rooms if you'd prefer.

This game is hard and definitely has a lot of older FG quirks like heavy + direction to throw, 0F throw startup, no input buffer, etc. It's a challenging title but if feels rewarding to improve as a result.

I couldn't properly get into it for awhile because too many characters seemed cool but didn't feel quite right. Only once I tried Order Sol did I finally start to like the game.

I'd do anything to get a whiff of Baiken's pits and bush
