Game is fine. Balance could be better, sure, but that gets fixed over time. I would say it's not as bad as people are quick to point out. Combo breaker had a top 8 with everyone having a different character. And let's be honest, unless you are a top competitor balance is not really a huge issue.

As for cosmetics, I don't personally care much, I rarely customize my characters that much anyway. You can always opt out of buying them.

Gameplay overall is fine and I like the heat system. I don't like the fact that some characters became a bit one dimensional with broken moves like Kaz's ff2 (I think it is) or Feng's b3.

Bo3 on Ranked is kinda lame, I'd prefer if it were Bo7, I guess they were trying to avoid infinite spamming to boost rank? Idk.
