The bone of the game itself is good, and the port is not bad at all (plus, it's cheaper here than on consoles), but some design choices (throw loops is the big one everybody mentions for a good reason), specially around the system mechanics (the whole Drive family of mechanics, regardless if it's Rush, Parry, Cancel, etc.) make it very hard to recommend for anyone more than casual about fighting games.
