Okay fine, I may have been a little hasty in my judgement (HAH PUN ), but I still find the gameplay to be a little too shallow and repetitive for my taste. They just tried to make the game too accessible to everyone by adhering to traditional fighting game conventions but stripping out a ton of the technical aspects. And what the hell is with Maria's character design. Ah well, at least the music is good.
Also if i'm not mistaken, blocking > everything?
