Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
30 of 173 sampled reviews raised it
Online play is VERY smooth, using GGPO delay where gameplay up to 150 ping is still playable (though not as great as 60 and lower)
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
17 of 173 sampled reviews raised it
It has solid balance between the two current characters and I hope that it will keep doing so with the release schedule being a new character every month until the roster is finished.
Servers and matchmaking
Players who bring up Servers and matchmaking mostly praise it.
14 of 173 sampled reviews raised it
The game is fun, the netcode works well, and its very polished.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
12 of 173 sampled reviews raised it
Not much too it in terms of match ups with the starting two characters, but it has all the fundamentals to a fighting game to make it a decent learning curve (hit confirms, mix ups, footsies, etc).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 173 sampled reviews raised it
Lot of real thought and work went into this game and it shows from the mechanics, features (hitbox viewer in training mode, frame data, ect), music, visuals, everything.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
8 of 173 sampled reviews raised it
This a great starting point for anyone interested in fighting games with great netcode (uses GGPO) and also fun to play with friends on a Friday night because of its simple playstyle and fast gameplay (just don't forget the cookies).
