I've been playing the Free Version and the game feels fantastic.
When it comes to fighting games, Street Fighter has always been my number one but this feels so much better to play than Street Fighter 6, at least on a first impression.
I'm going into this game without any prior knowledge or watching any guides, other than some of the in-game tutorials.
Most of the combos I try are actually working, and that feels great. The game just makes sense. The systems don't feel complicated yet either. Game seems straightforward, accessible, and bullshit free (for now) but I'm sure it gets much deeper at higher levels.
I'm having fun without knowing anything and without stressing about learning a ton of systems and mechanics, and that's a big deal for me when it comes to fighting games.
Also, and this is huge for me, THERE'S NO DP INPUT SHORTCUT. No accidental bullshit happening because there are six ways of inputting a DP (especially on leverless) and a 10 minute input window. The game feels TIGHT.
There are also a few different modes in the game to keep things interesting.
I have a feeling I'm going to end up buying this.
