Far from perfect, but it's still quite fun to play casually alone or with a friend in casual matches. I had a lot of fun playing as Cammy/Zangief, Cammy/Kuma and Lili/Zangief tag-teams. I also really liked having Tekken characters in the SFIV visual style as well, they all look pretty great! Their moves being translated to 2D felt a little funky but I think it worked out pretty well.
Despite all that though, all I have are really have are gripes:
- Limited Specials & Supers: EVERY character only gets one super attack and I swear some of them lost a special or two as well. Everyone's command lists are super short, and it's probably due to the following:
- Absurd Roster Size: Proof that there really can be "too much of a good thing." There's a total of FIFTY-FIVE characters! I think it would've been much better if they'd just picked maybe 12 or 13 characters from each side instead of...well THIS. Also I think they should've made Mega Man cartoony like they did PAC-MAN and Kuro & Toro instead of trying to make a joke out of his inclusion because "silly old American Mega Man box arts."
- Custom Color Editor: I liked the idea but the execution was awful being a touch-only screen for some fucking reason on top of the fact that many colors had to be bought (though I didn't buy any)
- Gem System: Kinda sucked. I don't hate the idea on paper, but again, it was executed pretty horribly. Never mind the fact that there are DLC/Paid Gems that are legitimately better than most of what you get in-game.
- Touch Screen-Only Menus: I will NEVER understand why SOME menus are touch-screen only and some aren't! This is so stupid and irritating. Make them all touch or make them all go by D-Pad + Face Buttons. It was really annoying to be arrowing through the main menu and then have to switch to tapping on small text lines/boxes.
Despite all my gripes, I'll still probably hop into this again every so often to play casually with a friend or just to mess around with more tag-team matchups.
