Let me start off by saying I absolutely adore the series and have played almost every iteration for the past decade and change. This game for all that it is, has it's faults. The network connection has some lag issues, the interface is a little wonky, and adding/managing friends in game is a futile effort. Once you actually start the game however, it's great. The new things they added in for the Arcade Edition make it feel polished and shiny. Little things like announcing your win/loss ratio at the beginning of the match is pretty cool. 60FPS at 4K? Got you covered.

So why do I not recommend this game? Because it's got to be one of the worst cash-grab tactics ever. Capcom has absolutely ruined a fine game by monetizing characters and hiding them behind a pay wall. One can rush to their defense by saying "you can unlock every character with fight money!" What exactly does that entail? Well, for starters, the most reliable way is to complete the hard survival mode with every character. This is 50 consecutive fights per character you play. At what point do you tell Capcom "I can't beat this to get the fight money necessary to unlock Menat or Ed, or Sagat..." and just drop the $30? Pretty much every time, I'd wager. Someone on Reddit approximated 30-40 hours of game time to unlock a character. Ask EA to see how well that turned out.
