Um, so there's depth, and you can keep learning skills for a long time. That is good. But that doesn't change the fact that it's much, much easier to win with some characters than others! Okay, fine, so most fighting games are unbalanced. Like in CvS2, the Capcom characters are generally better than the SNK ones by a bit. But it's bad. Fine, you'll say that you need to learn the depth. But is it really balance when someone who is playing as one of the easy characters for the first time can win a lot, against people who have played the game a lot more?
I'm not the only one who's said that the big characters are at a disadvantage, either... I know several people who said that before I'd played more than the demo...
Sure, sometimes it's fun to play as a character for who the game is harder, and it's good to have such characters. But the game really could use some more balance.
As for how far I've got... I tried the arcade mode on the hardest difficulty. Don't think I've beat one enemy yet. :) But in Weapon Master I've gotten to chapter 10... though for some reason in a few of the later chapters I didn't get to one level, and I don't seem to have special level 2... does the game change what levels you get in weapon master depending on how well you do in the levels or something? Or do I just need to progress to get them...
