The best game in the series bar none. Feels like they cherry picked stuff from older games that worked and built upon it from there. The single player/story stuff isn't the best, which I feel is especially unfortunate cause SamSho has a really interesting world and cast. The game also launched with really janky online but SNK did eventually make an attempt to fix that even if it took 4 years. Easy to pick up, super fun and with a fantastic roster of characters. Also shoutouts to the three series newcomers for being such perfect fits that it's hard to believe they aren't longtime veteran characters.
