A perfect fighting game. There's no fluff, it looks and sounds great, and it's got a nice roster of fighters with their own unique qualities. It's got some combos and abilities to learn, but it's not needlessly complex--just about anyone can pick it up and get decent at it. I'd also call it surprisingly grounded compared to other franchises. And yes, that is saying a lot when one of the characters is a green lightning monster. If you're looking for a barebones, but polished fighting game experience, this is the title for you.
