Overall, if you're just looking for a fighting game to play and invest in, I'd recommend this (or Guilty Gear, it's got an actual story.)

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

What makes this game enjoyable to me is the high skill ceiling; every time I play I have the opportunity to improve my ability.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Arcade and Versus modes are standard fares for fighting games, but the Multiplayer mode in 'USF4' really shines.
