While a big chunk of the FGC wouldn't play a game if the character designs is not full with belts and anime bs, i kind of enjoy the brony artstyle, i watched mlp when i was doing baby sitting and i got attached to the series somewhat.
Outside from the artstyle, not so outstanding FG with a great training mode, frame data tools, trials and cpu options, is the kind of game that you don't keep playing 'cus its good or it has unique mechanics, the quality and polish are directed for the QOL things, labbing this game is fun as fuck.
GGPO is a bless.
