So obviously, I'm havin' a blast with this.
Who's my main at the moment? Surprisingly it's a split between Iori and Crazy Dave. Iori feels like that perfect blend between Kazuya and Terry, and pulling off his Desperation Moves feels oh-so-satisfying. On the other hand, Crazy Dave is just so...well, CRAAAZY to play as, mainly because there's so many plants to work with.
As for who's good competitively, I have heard HungryBox talking about how Jill is a pretty decent character, mainly because her Survival Inventory gives her some level of versatility. But on the other hand, Leffen seems to favor Officer Howard and surprisingly Reimu. With Officer Howard, he seems to specifically claim that the Beast Legion in question is the one that puts him on top tier, mainly because of how...well, mobile and combo-heavy Beast Howard is. As for Reimu, he seems to be in a dilemma of loathing playing against her, but loving playing as her, mainly because her projectile game, while almost Belmont-levels of aggressive, is also a bit complex, meaning it's not so simple to spam people with Hakurei Amulet or the Yin-Yang Orb.
Out of all the bosses, I think the Deviljho might stick out the most. Boi, if you thought Rathalos was difficult on high percentages, you ain't seen nothin' yet. Even when I've got a lot of Plants on the field to fight him as Crazy Dave, Deviljho's got some really powerful sweeping attacks that just wipes them out. It wasn't until I faced him as Iori that I managed to beat him, and funnily enough, that was what made me main him. I heard conditions to fight Akuma are as strict as in SF2, but I'm working pretty hard to fulfill them just for the chance to face him.
DLC, I'm certainly looking forward to. I predict some pretty popular picks like Geno, Dante or Sol Badguy, some more obscure picks like Pyramid Head, Chosen Undead or King Boo, and maybe even some very oddball picks like Daitoryo, Conker or Ryu from Breath of Fire. Either way, there's still more possibilities to look forward to, and I'm ready.
Overall, the game is a solid 10/10 for me. Sakurai...I never thought you'd surpass Ultimate, but here you are, doing just that. Thanks for an amazing entry in the series!
