Servers and matchmaking
Players who bring up Servers and matchmaking mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The collection also includes online play, and the matches are decent—it does depend on each participant’s connection, but from what I tested, they’ve done a good job with the netcode for online battles.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay is KING; simpler (only 4 buttons for hits) and faster, making combos feel insanely good to chain!
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
That said, if you're an X-Men, Street Fighter or overall Marvel/Capcom fan, this is an obvious buy... and double that if you're a multiplayer.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
They had to compress them and delete some frames to make them all fit into the same game, a sacrifice that for many is well worth it because you now have the BIGGEST roster of the collection (and one of the biggest in fighting games in general).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The online play runs well, the graphics look amazing (the filters help a lot), and overall, I highly recommend it.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Every character (except for secret ones) has a cool, long ending, acted by their sprite (no artworks).
