Gameplay

The controls are simple and smooth, the characters are balanced, and the gameplay has that "easy to learn, tough to master" thing going on that I love so very very much.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
To be honest the graphics don't seem too impessive, but upon a deeper look you can really see that the developers put a lot of effort into this game's presentation.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
My favorite of them is stretch due to the deep and complex lore of his character such as what is in his drink and why his name is stretch which you get the answers to extremely satisfyingly by its story mode.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you're talking about digitized fighters, you take something like Way of The Warrior (3DO) or even Veteran Combat (Steam) which have very floating and/or clunky controls, whereas this game plays like a pretty decent fighting game.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.

i was a jab-spammer, i didnt know how to play the game because the controls were so bad. i come back a year later, and my god. this game, is everything a perfect fighting game should be. good combos, flashy finishing moves, fun character design, good music, good layout, good everything. if you wanted to start playing fighting games, i think this is the one for you.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You might be resistant to the graphics of the game but all-in-all this is very compelling package with great sound design and music that might stay in your head with its catchiness.
