Fighting game keeps cherry-picking
It's too bad, because I love the characters and the new graphic look is great. Still, there are enough fighting genre games that don't have this flawed combat mechanic that I can't really endorse this title.
If you're a strong fan of the series, than everything I'm saying won't really apply to you. You're either fine with it, or have adapted to it. If you're relatively new, however, I strongly urge you to look elsewhere, and save yourself a ton of frustration. If you're curiousity gets the better of you, do yourself a favor and rent it. I'm really glad I did, and I'm sure my bloodpressure is too.
