❤ Lowering the Execution Barrier without Sacrificing Depth

The developers have introduced several key systems to bridge the gap between newcomers and veteran players. When a heavy attack lands, the game will freeze and slow down, clearly signaling a Counter Hit. This provides unique combo opportunities and gives players of all skill levels time to properly react and confirm the situation. The Roman Cancel system has also been streamlined, with different types serving specific uses like extending combos, slowing down time, or breaking an opponent's guard. While these accessibility features make the game more welcoming, experienced players will find ample room for advanced techniques and mastery, especially in the use of optimal Roman Cancels.

❤ Diverse and Distinctive Roster

The character roster is full of unique and distinct fighters, each with their own playstyles and mechanics. From the vampire Nagoriyuki and his blood gauge to the secret agent Giovanna and her spirit dog companion, the cast offers a wide variety of approaches. Even the more "beginner-friendly" characters like May and Ramlethal have layers of depth that reward continued practice and mastery. Discovering the intricacies of each character is a core part of the game's appeal.

❤ Fluid and Responsive Combat

The visuals and animations convey a real sense of weight and impact, with each attack and special move feeling fluid and responsive. The inclusion of the wall-break mechanic adds another layer of strategy, as players must manage stage positioning and use the environment to their advantage. Navigating around the stage and finding openings to pressure the opponent is a key part of the experience.

❤ Exceptional Online Features

The game's rollback netcode ensures that matches feel smooth and lag-free, even when playing against opponents across the globe. The lobby and matchmaking systems also contribute to a positive online experience, with the player floors and celestial ranking system allowing players to find matches against opponents of similar skill levels.
