Solid
You will be hardpessed to find a fighting game to date on next gen systems that can rival this one. Easy to get into but hard to truly master, it caters to casual and hardcore, with a roster guaranteed to have a character that you will want to use to beat the hell out of someone else. There are tons of titles and icons, costumes and taunts to collect to keep you playing for ages. Now here are the little problems. No story mode, makes offline, a "head to training mode/trial mode, beat arcade mode and the oh so bland, though still nostalgic challenges, and then wonder what else to do" moment, then head online. It is about time Capcom address that feature and give gamers an in depth exploration of the character's and why they fight. While "balanced", some characters still feel like they have no chance at high level play and the one major con for me is the fact of lag online and the PP/BP system. But all in all this is still a go to game for those seeking to satisfy their fighting game hunger.
