I was hyped for this when it was revealed, and as the years went by I got a little worried when I heard all the rumours about the machines being pulled from arcades and other bad signs.

Pre-ordered regardless and holy moly I do not regret it one bit. I can't sing its praises enough, and my only gripe is the campaign grind and pants-on-head matchmaking algorithms in use.

You can kinda cheese the campaign by just spamming Chandelure's A button flame move. The AI has trouble blocking it for some reason.

I don't feel too guilty about it's an unfun slog and I'll just learn bad habits anyway.

I've basically been using it as a training mode with ramping difficulty before tackling ranked in earnest.

Which leads me to ask; do you goons use the d-pad or the stick to move around? I use the stick out of habit and find it tricky to get dodges off consistently. Is the d-pad the way to go?

How does the netcode feel?

I played a few games with friends and a few games of random matchmaking and every match was as smooth as butter throughout.
