Out of all the 2D fighting games I have played this game improves on all of their features.

This game is great.I have never played a better 2D fighting game in my life yet.First of all you can choose to use an analog stick or the directional pad.Also some of the characters are so freaky its funny.For example there is a person who is named Bridget and strangly he's a boy.They also kind of take a little from Mortal Kombat because there are these moves called Instant Death Moves in which no matter how huge your opponents health bar is they will die.The only problem is that you can only use it once per round and if you mess up the special bar will disappear and you will not be able to use Overdrive attacks.All and all this game pretty much does everything well.My only problems with the game are that the difficulty for some of the things in the game is way to hard and the graphics may seem dated and also they all speak in Japanese or Chinese or something so it sounds like they are swearing at you.
