This is one hell of a fun fighting game!

It shocked me how this game simplifies its control scheme even more than Marvel vs Capcom 2, but it still has a lot of depth to be found, and a lot of the mechanics that were found in earlier VS games are still intact in this one, which is great!
Doing Air Combos, summoning your partner to do a Hyper Combo, and a whole bunch of other stuff still feel very satisfying to pull off!

The cast of characters is a bit smaller than MVC2, but I appreciate the many new faces to the VS series, like Batsu, Alex and Saki. The Tatsunoko side is one that I had to research on, because I had next to no knowledge on that company's characters, but they feel very fun to play!

While this game doesn't have many modes to go through, it does provide with an in-game shop for you to unlock a whole bunch of stuff, ranging from a character's gallery page, to alternate colors, to special movies and illustrations!
Playing through Arcade Mode, and seeing all of the character's endings, and then doing the credits sequence to get a bunch of Zenny to be able to buy more stuff in the Shop was always a nice thing... even if I did get tired of hearing the Can Can (almost) every time I beat the game. I could've skipped the Credits, but I wouldn't have gotten as much Zenny.

Overall, this is a great Capcom VS game, that I'm glad I was able to try out!
I can't wait to play it with friends in the future!
