its been over a month since release and the game barely gets updated, no DLC characters revealed or released, so essentially by buying the season pass you get 2 skins :D. Online is extremely scuffed being very laggy, often in slow motion. There is no rollback and im not sure if there are any plans to add it. It is terribly optimized, someone can rage quit after a game is over before the game can even register your victory and you dont get the credit for the win. There is no story mode, just normal cpu battles with pre-set characters with no unique dialogue or cutscenes, literally just cpu battles. The only good thing about this game compared to the original is the upgraded roster. The characters themselves look really good here, and the voice acting is unmatched as usual. Though I dont understand how a remastered port of the original game from 2013 has pretty much no extra features. It is the same game with more characters. Compared to the original its okay, compared to other fighting games it is awful, and just looking at it from a fighting game fan standpoint it is just really disappointing. They make us wait so long for a steam port of the original and the online is absolutely terrible which is a shame because its essentially the only thing worth playing since there is no coherent story mode and im not going to play vs battles against friends for 10 hours. The game peaked at 7000 concurrent players on release and now doesn't even hit 1,000. And there is reason for that. 4/10 game.
