very charming and cool fighting game that's fun casually and has huge appeal to any longtime fg fan, but there is some absurd jank in it that really makes me not want to play it more often than not. a-groove and roll cancelling really hinder the game for me. besides that stuff, it's a fun footsies game with a great roster, though i wish there were a bit more hit confirms and special cancels to help round out decision making. would be great with a few balance patches (which makes it very good mugen fodder)
Quite possibly the most charming fighting game of all time and the sole reason why Capcom should let Itsuno make another fighting game. The groove system is a genius way to blend both Capcom and SNK playstyles (Including one that lets you parry like in Third Strike, dood.) Would be 5 stars if it wasn't missing both Kula and Alex.
Playing this with a GameCube controller shouldn’t be legal. It just doesn’t feel natural at all, but I do love the mechanics and character selection in this game. As a huge fighting game fan, I would recommend this to someone who is looking for a good 2D fighter with some cool depth. Just don’t play with a GameCube controller
