It's pretty fast, there's a bunch of interesting characters, and there's a lot of easy combos, like Guilty Gear x2, but of course the really good ones that do a lot of damage are pretty difficult to pull off. there's 3 attacks and a parry button and you can dash all over the place. the sprites are bit chunky, but the animation is always a smooth 60 fps, with kick ass backgrounds and the music is really tasteful and well done.
