The game requires frame-perfect timing and is infuriating if you don't have the patience.Don't get me wrong, this is by far my most played game and I've had some great moments on it, but to me it's more fun to watch others play it (e.g. Altthough the strategy and fundamentals might be intuitive, the controls and mechanics take a lot of practice and aren't actually all that satisfying. This game is about as accessible as twister is for wheelchair users. Everything in this game feels safe and hard to punish.And finally, the most important one: NO TUTORIAL. This makes the game far too "flow-charty".Too much poking.

This combined with the non-existent juggling mechanics mean you have to rely on bread-and-butter combos.

The risk vs reward makes it difficult to justify at times. This might sound like a noob thing to say but despite having excellent execution when in training mode I can never combo anything online not because I can't make the links, but because the opportunity to use it is rarely there. My performance is not representative of my skill level due to the character I have chosen vs the character my opponent has chosen.No opportunity to use combos. Whether I win or lose seems to be decided mostly at the character select screen. After having cleared all trials and experimenting with every character I still haven't found one that works for me. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done. You can't counter-pick, which forces you to learn ONE character and learn them well. But the other reasons I wouldn't recommend it are as follows:Too dependent on match-up knowledge. The online on PC is extremely laggy and inconsistent and slow in terms of the matchmaking process. To really experience this game, you need to play against human opponents. Unless you want to do the trials (which I spent most of my time doing), you won't have fun offline. First of all, the PC version is unplayable at current. First of all, the PC version isI have played and followed this game for a long time, but I cannot recommend it for several reasons.
