Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's a great deal of depth in it's gameplay and combos that you may end up overlooking for the first few dozen player matches, but you can quickly figure out that the 10 character roster (+2 free DLC soon) was indeed quality over quantity.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are incredibly damn good and faithful to the original show, recreating scenes, moves, and ultimates straight from the source.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is fluid, engaging, and doesn't require the player to memorise a million button combos, purchase new left/right sticks after every match, or use specific characters simply to survive.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I overall find the game to be surprisingly fun considering the amount of hate it often gets, and the uniqueness of each character's playstyle I feel makes up for the small roster count.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
That said, the combat quickly won me over with interesting challenges, the varied fighting styles, good voice acting, and a good sense of achievement for figuring out how things worked.
