Sadly most people who buy the game don't participate in any "pro gaming" tournaments nor do they follow them so the game just looks like a half baked title. The core mechanics are there etc but if you aren't someone who plays online there really isn't a reason to buy this game right now. I have it and I finished the "story mode" very quickly as just about everyone has and I can't stand the survival mode, 30 matches? really? there is no standard player vs cpu match or arcade mode, not having those is just insanely stupid IMO. I'm sure in a few months when there is more content I'll be happier with it but right now it just seems like a shell of a street fighter game to me, especially when the last fighting game I bought had a ton of content and is still being supported nearly a year after release (MKX)
