This game is really good on a foundational level and numerous great design decisions within the characters and mechanics, but a major issue with this game is how the connections are handled. This is the only fighting game that uses dedicated servers to connect the players through and that is a terrible idea for many reasons. If the servers are unstable on a certain day (unstable everyday since beta launch), then you will have extremely wild scenarios where the game's netcode doesn't know how to handle the lag. Everyone in a lobby can have the most perfect ethernet connection and the game will still lag due to server instability. There needs to be drastic changes to the networking of the game for launch because I would say this game has the worst rollback I've ever experienced.
