I haven't spent a *ton* of time on this game overall but as a fan of fighting games in general I'd love to leave an honest review for the game and fight back against the incels complaining about the update removing tasteless content from the game: (I do empathize with those who purchased the art book to find content removed from it later but it's overall stuff that probably shouldn't have been in the art book to begin with so it's only a minor loss overall)

The good:

-Fun, fast-paced gameplay with engaging mechanics that allow for tons of creativity and player expression
-Exciting visuals and eye-catching art style
-Amazing and unique character designs
-Interesting story elements
-Killer soundtrack worth listening to even without playing the game itself
-Excellent online connectivity
-One of the most robust and intricate training modes ever
-Tons of fun little Easter eggs

The bad
-Almost everything that was removed from the game in the most recent patch (so a net positive)
-Mike Z is a piece of human garbage (also removed so yet another positive overall)


Overall, this game is nearly flawless and I highly recommend it for everyone who seriously enjoys fighting games, casually or competitively. The game's longevity, replay value, and reviews (prior to the update) speak volumes to why it's worth trying out, and when it's on sale it's a STEAL.
