I played Guilty Gear XX back in the day and tried this out and loved it. However, there are major issues, some of which may be fixed in the future and others almost certainly won't. Here are some quick Pro's and Con's:

Pros:
- Everything about the game during the actual fighting is rock solid, smooth, and feels terrific
- Probably the best looking fighting game available today IMHO
- Online matchmaking in ranked battles doesn't just give players a level of skill to strive for, but also easily sorts players into matchmaking lobbies with players of similar skill levels. It also makes the process of expert players sniping new players difficult and unrewarding, meaning that brand new players won't just get steamrolled in online play.
- the rollback netcode makes online matches in your own region almost as smooth as playing in person. While there can be latency issues since everyone's connection speed can't be 100% accounted for, when the system works it works beautifully.

Cons:
- The single player experience is the thinnest it's been in a Guilty Gear game since the first few entries in the series and might be even worse than that. You get an arcade mode, 1v1 against cpu mode, and a survival mode. That's it. The game includes a story mode, but it's basically just a 4 hour movie with no gameplay. This is not hyperbole, the is no gameplay
- Everytime you open the game it must communicate with the server, and this can take up to 5 minutes. While they have improved it, it's still egregious that you have to go through this access even the single player content.

Overall, I still recommend the game, but if what I said above in the cons is a deterrent, you've been warned.
