    It's wonderful! Pick it up on sale and show it off at a fighting game local and you'll have a great time.

    It's a fun game that seem to feel like an early access game. Arcade mode with different CPU levels would really keep me on this game. I feel like with no challenge I can make dumb moves and not suffer for it. Online mode is not a thing this later in the game lifespan so who knows. Single player content is lacking to keep players around outside of the honeymoon phase.
