Absolute Trash

NAMCO has completely screwed with every character's combo. Whoever you've played as in previous installments, you will be disappointed. They've completely screwed it up.

Most of the moveset changes make no sense at all. Talim, for instance, is supposed to be a light speedy combatant with rapid, fluid combos. Now she's a staggering, hit and stop heavy? WTF?

Cassandra used to be a spin off of Sophitia with a similar moveset to her sister. Very push forward. Very aggressive. Now she's a distance fighter with knockdowns?

The AI is pathetically cheap. It will straight up just input read after a while. Same problem as previous games but it's FAR more blatant here.

Oh, and ya know what makes the entire Battle Mode worthless? Groh. Yeah. This little stock standard animu emo git is clearly some developer at NAMCO compensating for his deficencies. This twit is the sort of character a 12 year old weeb dreams up in the margins of his school notebook after playing Final Fantasy for the first time. This absolute joke of a fighter has an answer to everything you can throw at it. He'll sidestep everything, interrupt everything with faster attacks and horizontals, combo endlessly, juggle you on the ground and can hit you at any range. When you face him in Battle mode, it is a NOTICEABLE difficulty spike. Because he's so horrendously OP. Certain characters simply will not beat him. Heaven help you if the AI has decided to start input reading.

The characters also look horrible. Skin texture looks like a bad budget children's morning CGI cartoon from the 90s. Faces are this bizziarre uncanny valley of big animu kawaii eyes, bulbous noses, big lips and odd proportions. All the costumes make the characters look like they're wrapped in latex. Every character looks WORSE than SCII from 20 years ago!

The voices and dialog are also horrendous. There are simply no distinctive callouts or taunts. The characters have no personality. It's all just generic animu stock lines. Cassandra used to have this bratty "you're not good enough to date me" demeanor. Now she just spouts the typical random animu stock callouts. They changed all the voices as well and none of them fit the characters. Cassandra now sounds like a husky fitness model instead of a bratty cheerleader. Astaroth has been given some articulate gentlemanly sounding voice where before he was the typical grunting, screaming strongman. Does NAMCO even understand these characters anymore?

Try making anything in the character creator. The results are hysterical. You don't really even have to try to make something look ridiculous. It's that easy.

The music is also utterly forgettable. Previous SC games had tremendously awesome orchestral scores. SCII especially. I still have the soundtrack for SC2 on disk. SCVI score is weak. The composers weren't even trying. It's like they just bought stock tracks from some music licensing provider.

Play Online because you are NOT getting anything fun or balanced from single player. Or if you do play against AI, play Groh because the developers with the broken parts are obviously very desperate for you to notice.
