Hell, I wanna join in on this as well! Screw the haters, I've been having a blast. Moreso than really any other fighting game besides Skullgirls.
The art style is quite meh, but mind you, the art nor animations aren't the draw to this. The core gameplay is actually fun, competitive, and quite salty. Removing the barriers to fighting games, people can finally experience the tension that goes into playing these as well the depth of skill, planning, and manipulation that a single move requires. If nothing else, it goes to show you how SF and other big fighting games make divekicking such OP as forget. Also, fighting games are surpisngly expensive to develop and this is a budget title.
Overall, try and see if you're willing to give it a shot when it goes on sale. Hopefully online is fixed(I've had no issues tho yet) and we shall see who is the KING OF TEH SALT. forget YOU MEGA AND YOUR BAZ.
