    This game just plain sucks, even without the networking issues.

    At first, this game was a ton of fun, but now that everyone plays optimally, the game is horrid.

    Gameplay is nothing but waiting for the other person to attack, then capitalizing on their attack. There is no complexity to this game what so ever, it's just a simple matter of patience.

    Every single character basically has a single viable strategy, and you set it up off of someone else's attack. You also can't actually attack before someone else, because they'll just work off of your attack, and you'll take damage.

    The thing I find perplexing, is how this seemed like a good idea during development. I mean, other fighting games have dozens of moves per character and this game has like 7...

    The controls and mechanics are also shaky and inconsistent, and the odd thing about that is how no one ever mentions it.

    All in all, this game is just trash. I'm only posting this because I really enjoyed this game in the beginning and I'm hoping there's a way the devs can actually save this pile of failure.

    I disagree to am extent. There are only a few characters that honestly can't open people up. Raider, Lawbringer, Kensei are the hardest to fight offensively imo. Everyone else, I abuse feints and guardbreaks to create my offense.

    NOPE! it's a great game with all it's flaws. It's not a fighting game it is something that's never been done before.

    Ask yourself why nobody tried to make a game like that. LOL

    The Op is right. Unless they fix all, which is 99% impossible.

    I respectfully disagree my kind internet friend. If you're still having connection issues restart your console

    Well thanks for your opinion. Now you no longer have to waste your time on the game and can play something else. As for me I love it. GG ^_^

    Well theres a reason no one invented the ipad until it was invented either...it's called progress. Everything that will be invented has not already been invented and if the game flops I'd be willing to bet that another game very similar will be made because the core idea is a very good one

    Agree to disagree. I love this game. One of my favorite games of all time and I've been gaming since the late 80's.
