At the time of this review this game is basically dead in almost all regions but, since it's my first fighting game and I enjoyed it I'll give it a thumbs up cause it's nice. P.S: if my review appears to have the game refunded it's cause I do need the money yk how it is....

I just noticed I never reviewed this. This is my favourite fighting game (not that I have many) for one simple reason. I honestly can't even be described as a casual fighting game player, but I do like to dip in now and then for a bit, but when I do I don't have the time to spend 3 hours in practice mode to get myself up to basic competency. This game you can very quickly get to a point where you're having fun. Also as someone with not great reaction-speed it also doesn't require too much of that and combos & juggling are kept relatively low. Not so you can't do them, but it's not like "ok, if they hit you once you can drop the controller until next round", which I've certainly had be the case in others. Basically it's a fighting game I can relatively quickly jump in when I'm in the mood and when I no longer in the mood I can take it off without fearing I'll lose everything and need 3 weeks to get back up to speed. And the arcade mode is really solid, even on easy (mind you it's been a long time since my last time), I'm getting challenged. The one criticism I will have is they have a DLC character, which ok let's not touch on that, but he's in the game whether you buy it or not. No, if I didn't pay for it, it shouldn't be in the game.

I am one of those who like the old SF Ex games, so these game feels like a nice modern take of those. Not flawless but very enjoyable nonetheless. If you are looking for another fighting game to add to your collection, you won't do anything wrong with this one.

better than the smash bro, better than the street fight, better than guilty man, better than the king of blokes, and better than clay fighter 63 1/3. Simply the best

I like this game. it's not anything fancy, but I dunno, it just feels pretty good. I like the trials/challenges, I think the portrait art is great, it plays pretty quick and is balanced pretty well, I dunno, it's solid. And if you have a super old 2009 pc that's below minimum spec, you can drop the settings to low and it'll still run fine. It's not pretty, but at least it works.
