Alright, listen: I used to love the ♥♥♥♥ out of this game. It was exhilarating to win, and especially to go on winning streaks, you felt like a champion. But this game is different, from my experience. Let me list it off:

*TOXIC COMMUNITY: There are people who are so vulnerable to the salt that comes from losing in this game. There are people who will win, and spam things like "ez" "noob" "spam trash." There are people who lose and say the same. I understand why they're so salty too, because this game is...

*A STRESS MACHINE: This game's ranking system is screwed up. You play ranked and go from tin(lowest) to diamond(highest). If you go on a losing streak what happens is your rank goes lower and lower until you meet people who you sweep the floor with and then that boosts you back up. But it goes the other way too, you'll be playing and then randomly meet a tilted diamond who regains his skill and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ trashes you. At this point, there's no skill involved in winning or losing. The actual fighting is just a stressful, long process of pulling down the slot machine lever and deciding whether or not you'll win, it's all chance.


The exchange is inequal too, the feeling from winning is not nearly as ecstatic or happy as the stress and burden you feel from losing is. In a team based game, you can subconsciously blame the rest of your team as well as yourself, but if you lose in a fighting game it's all on you.

TL;DR Stressful as ♥♥♥♥ game, don't get.

Edit: So steam let me know I've played an additional 601 hours since the review. idk was probably just salty
