Despite minor online configuration and connection issues, This is IMO the best SF ever made.
Now for the bad. online connectivity can be frustrating at times. random dropped connections, match up system( would love the option to play a certain person again. not just completely end the game and look for another player), The character select that doesnt allow the other player to see who he/she is picking is a very love it or hate it addition. to be honest there are just some characters that shouldnt play each other due to a mismatch in ability. dhalsim vs zangeif or Vega vs dhalsim for example.. either way this is minor compared to my major gripe
when hosting a ranked game the "LOCKED" default setting is who can win 3 matches. NO WHERE IN SF HISTORY OF ARCADE GAMES IS THIS CONFIGURATION IMPLEMENTED! im my history of playing at arcades i think ive seen this option once maybe twice. but every other arcade was best out of 3.. not best to 3. best to 3 drags the game and also gives the whacky chance of the opponent coming back from a 2-0 lose which can be a piss off to many especially myself. it wouldnt be soo bad IF the host had the option to configure it but the host doesnt. only when creating a tournament or going into player match mode is the option configurable. which makes no sense at all and imo kills a point and a half for this overall GREAT game.
On a final note. it is a very VERY good idea to use a fighting stick to play this game rather than the gamepad. gamepad does have its advantages with certain characters but for the most part this game is truly enjoyed with a fighting stick... Kudos to capcom for revitalizing such a great classic..
