36 completely different characters (no moveset clones like Ryu & Ken) of varying types (projectile based, grapplers, chargers...)* 23 very 36 completely different characters (no moveset clones like Ryu & Ken) of varying types (projectile based, grapplers, chargers...)* 23 very detailed stages (many of them change visually from round to round!)* Deep and elaborate combat mechanics (4 different cancels, 4 different jumps, rolls, techs, guard rolls/knockdowns, specials, supers and ultras which can also be EXed, HD mode...). You can stick to the basics for casual play or try to master the system, both hardcores and beginners should be happy!* Beautiful 2D graphic with not-so-2D effects.* A LOT of modes (arcade, time attack, survival, branching story mode, input trials, 3vs3 or 1vs1 versus, practice, online ranked or casual matches).* A LOT of extras (artwork and movie gallery, character colors customization, SFX test, icons...).All in all, best 2D fighting game since Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.
