Update 2/18

Updating this review now that many server issues have been addressed.

Pros:

Looks Great: No frame rate issue from my computer. Game looks nice

Plays Well: If you played USF4 then you kinda know what your getting into. Game on the surface feels similar but the more you play the more the difference come out.

Lots of promise: Capcom is looking to support this game long term and there are 6 characters promised. No matter how you feel about the pay/grind gate, this game looks like its going to have a lot of characters and be supported for a while, and hey, that costs money guys.

The game shows hope now but still needs time. Its a fun play but...

Cons:

Long loading time for online play: Once you find an oppenent the game will essentailly freeze for about 20 -30 seconds sometimes a bit longer before launching you into online match.

Matching can(rarely for me) be a bit laggy: Honestly not a huge problem for me but occasionally you will come against someone who seems to have bad internet and they'll lag. Seems better then SF4 though.

Online Lobbys 2 Man until March: Probably for server stability or otherwise haven't built out all the features yet but online lobbies are limited to 2 people. There is not spectator option. Only really a problem if you have a bunch of friends you want to play with.

Limited Single Player Options: The story is not yet fully completed will take about 2 hours to complete all the missions for all 16 characters. After that your left with survival and training. Survival is just match after match and is used to unlock bonus colors, and training is training.

Over all I think the game shows some promise. Given a few months the game will be filled out and it most if not all my complaints will be address. I'll try and remember to update this review in march.
