The visuals are the best compared to any other fighting game, nothing comes close except its twin sister soul caliber3 .The player models are big you can see expressions on their faces when their fighting ,the textures are almost flawless even in the closest views,backgrounds are beautiful but a couple of them are weak like that background with the bikini chicks in it ,the garden background is tighter than chuck norris's jeans.The animations of the characters are realistic and move not to slow or not to fast ,but at a almost perfect speed so you can catch them slow kicks from murduk ,but they got lazy with juggle animations(compare to soul cailber juggle animations) and they could of added a lot more animations.The sound is excellent ,the music fits ,but not on soul cailber's level, but pretty good ,i wish they could talk more trash when they fight but the sound is on point.The gameplay is a monster ,so many moves ,so many ways to win ,very intense fighting ,and very arcadey ,with a little realism a almost perfect blend(it could be a little more realistic, get some tips from fight night)i love the many different martial art styles represented in this game but there are a lot of cheap moves especially juggles which is how majority of the fights are won, which is very cheesy and wack ,they need to do something about that.The game does have a good amount of gameplay flaws i think the most annoying one is the hit detection sucks,its almost pointless to side step and a lot of times punches and kicks hit you but really dont and i hate when you dash back and you get nicked by a weak strike and you fall on your back,they need to work on these flaws, its been the same hit detection problem for awhile and hit detection is the most important issue in a fighting game ,come on Tekken developers.But this is still my favorite fighting game and i recommend this game if your looking for the best fighting game in the market.
