Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Because this game is semi-working, I can’t strictly claim Capcom is strong-arming older players who have this into the USF4 “Upgrade” purchase (really more of a loyalty discount for a semi-new game that advances the story at the snail’s pace fighting games and especially SF games are known for), but it kind of looks that way, yes.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
And that’s not a lack of fidelity to the older titles’ art style (where people have huge hands and feet and stuff when you really look close), so I think of it more as a historical hiccup, trying to escape looking like just another DX9 game, and at that it succeeds.
