This game is FANTASTIC! The combat is smooth like it was in Alpha 3; The fighters are better balanced and in greater numbers, and the skill ceiling is higher in this game than in any other street fighter (and in most other fighters). I prefer this fighter over all other fighting games. I would definitely recommend this game to any fighting game finatic with alot of time to invest. The only things holding this game back from a perfect score are the occasional frame drops and the lag and lack of match making in online mode. Normally lag in online wouldn't hold a game back for me but the online lag in this game can be crippling, but if both players have a good connection online is just like fighting normally. All in all I give this game a 9/10, a must own for those who play fighters.
