Pros:
It's honestly a really fun game and a great introduction into the world of fighting games. I started with Tekken 8 and have since shifted over to this. It feels like it is honestly way more welcoming to newcomers; since it's incredibly easy to pick up and start playing. The controls aren't too difficult and the characters are very fun and have a lot of personality. You can tell that the developers care about the game quite a bit. It's the first game in a while that I've actually taken the time to learn and put the hours into. My entire life has kind of started to revolve around street fighter and fighting games in general because of this game.
Cons:
I feel like the game is extremely unbalanced at the moment. There seems to be a clear cut good and bad distinction between characters. I am nowhere near high level play yet, but it's obvious to see where some characters are leagues better than others. The game also does feel somewhat pay to win with how they handle DLC characters. Not all of the DLC characters are good, but I feel like at least most of them are pretty good. The problem isn't that they are broken or anything, it's the fact that you can't even properly try them out or practice against them. If you haven't bought the DLC, then you can't use them in practice or any other game mode. This feels very detrimental as you can't even find out if you like a character or how they play since you can't actually use them before buying them. Sure they give out vouchers, but those only last for like an hour or two, and they aren't given out very often. You also can't lab against a matchup that you're having trouble with if it's a DLC character you don't have.
Also, they need to fix world tour, you can't even use all of the moves for a character since some of their directional inputs overlap. Which is stupid since one might be a kick input while the other is a punch. If they're the same motion input, you can't use them together.
All in all, I'd definitely still recommend it, even with the flaws that it has.
