Finally got to try it out tonight. For the most part, I'm not impressed. Perhaps it's because the characters are low level and I haven't had a chance to unlock more skills and abilities for people, but combat feels very slow and sluggish compared to the originals and the lock on button doesn't work as lightning click as it should for a team battle. Of anything, it kind of felt more like playing Smash Bros. but not quite in a good way since I know that's some people's jam.

I'll keep plunging into it, I don't remember the original game's being very thrilling from the outset either, but for now I find the team combat to be a little messy, the ability to switch from opponent to opponent wasn't as intuitive as I feel it should be and the controls are a little overly simplistic for my taste in fighting games, not to mention the game is slow which is another element I don't like my fighting games to be. Also the English VA's are not exactly great and I now dread the prospect of FFV and VI getting remakes with voice work.
