I kinda stink at fighting games, and I can’t play them at all anymore due to seizures, but when this came out and the mere thought of having to press more than one button at a time WASN’T enough to kill me, I had a great time with this game. I do miss the absurd complexity of the past games in the series, and a lot of the personality from those games has been lost as well, but Arc Sys have still managed to make something pretty compelling, and they’ve added a lot to it since launch. It was the only fighting game I bought at launch so getting to be part of the initial wave of everyone figuring things out is really special to me.
