The fighting part of the game is nearly perfect. What hurts it is the lack of sigle player appeal, as today it is very difficult to play with friends locally and the online doesn't work well (and one day will go down). Multiplayer is top notch. Taking out some characters to put in a ton of Fire Emblem characters was a bad decision, though. I like it, but I'll probably like Ultimate more, as soon as I can play it.
