Coming from a fighting game boomer that really likes games with powerful mechanics and freedom of combos...
This game is amazing. I don't know what they did to make training combos in this game be so satisfying, its crack. The mix of the hit sounds and the speed, and the TK cancelling mechanical motion and mastery, just feels so good I can spend hours labbing this game just exploring combos and routes.
The feel of playing matches is pretty good too, you can sidestep to prevent some zoning and super jump to approach fast at people, you are rewarded for being good at offense, but also the defender has a lot of tools to get back to the game, like Defensive Activation (Burst), Neutral Activation (Health Regen), Guard Cancels, Universal DPs (623C), Push Block.
Has a fame of being a kusoge (shit game) with infinites, but in reality it is a very well made game.
Oh and don't play the PSP version if you can choose, the PS2 version is the real deal.
