This is officially the worst purchase Ive ever made for my 360. Online can't connect to anyone, and when I finally start to connect it times out. The single player, even on zero difficulty stars, is damn near impossible, and the controls are ******ed. The d-pad on the 360 controller completely sucks, and the analog stick doesnt register movements correctly half the time (ie, down downforward forward). If this had been a physical purchase, I would already be on my way back to the store to trade it in.
Then again, maybe I expected too much out of a fighting game, to not have awful ai that registers all your movements instantly to counter them, and spamming specials with no limit. Maybe I've been jaded by DOA4 and other well-put together fighting games, who knows. I do think its sad they spent all this time on working on the live framework and Im still seeing complaints all over about lag and connection issues over a goddamn 16 bit game.
