    Lack of single player content, but it's one of the most promising fighting games of this decade. The Rollback Netcode will push the on-line competition to new goals. Astonishing visuals. Best cel-shading ever? [Recommended]

    This game has BY FAR the best Graphics and Animations ive ever witnessed in any fighter period, absolute masterclass in the artwork department, and the Roll back netcode is increadible this is the smoothest online fighting experience you can find but unfortunately the lobby sucks ass and Arcade mode Final boss is uh...
