Sometimes I'm not sure if I've landed an attack, sometimes I think I should have landed one but didn't, but all in all I like where the combat is at and the game continues to improve so /thumbsup.

With all the special moves each character has, every fight is unqiue and more intense.

The visuals are great and remind me of maybe a graphic novel come to life.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
12 of 123 sampled reviews raised it
I'm going to comment solely on the feel of combat since IMO that's the most 'make or break' factor in a PvP game.
