Content wise, the game is disappointing since the MMO should be a blueprint for what you can do with the game, just add a Tekken 3 force mode or whatever Granblue has.
There are also so many classes that should be there on top of them being just the base classes. There is no actual awakening system or skins for the characters.
Visuals and combat are great, the combo system easy and insanely fun with noob friendly input system which allow you to play with friends who usually don't play fighting games and have no interest in learning.
DLC character release is way too slow and we don't know if they even bother with a season 2 at this point since fighting game "fans" nowadays need weekly updates and only play games with high steam stats, because that really mattered for fighting games the past 30 years. Netcode is proper modern Arcsys quality. Crossplay would probably help with matchups but even then just consider it a discord fightan. And I doubt Nexon will support this any further since they just want to advertise their MMO cashcow.
Still one of my favorite fighting games in recent years just in terms of mindless fun, but I am a DFO MMO player so I have the fandom bias. The character tuning is close to kusoge status with many having half screen normals (think Yuzuriha from UNI). Although this really is just an anime fighter with no IAD. Everyone is busted. Strive babies get filtered.
