I got Isuka the day it came out. I've gone to many a tourny in SC2, Tag, T4, CvS2 and 3S and GGXX/GGX#R, so pretty much expected this game to be a fun-fighter as opposed to be taken hardcore. This game s is really fun...........if you're not playing by yourself that is. The CPU alsways goes after you, and GGBoost is impossible at the maniac level.....it's just not possible.
I've been maxing out Robo-Ky and getting the extra 3 unlockable supers to purchase after buying the Herculean chip or whatever which lets you use and 7 moves rather than being 'lane-loyal'. I also unlocked all the EX characters, arcade mode is just like survival mode, and the last boss......lets just say Leopaldan is at least original. Potemkin doesn't stand a change in hell to beat him due to lack of air damaging ANYTHING, not that it matters too much to me since I mainly play Johnny. Airdash HS,D,Enegna that shiz.
The 2 lanes and turn button and the old-school method of dust took me a while to get used to, but it shouldn't pose to much of a problem for the seasoned GG-er unless it's that hard to deal with it. It just makes going back to playing XX/#R strange since you have to remember to crossover certain things when doing combos/going for setups/crossups/etc etc.
So far I'm glad I got this game and I hope more people support Sammy/Arc Systems for creating the best/most balanced/sweetest 2D fighitng game series ever.
