I got this the other day courtesy of ShopTo.
I've played through the laughably short story mode with Ryu which consists of 3, 1 round battles with some story between and some rather underwhelming still images of characters with speaking. You get 10,000 fighter points for completion for the story but if you do the story again, you don't get any more points so no chance of farming for points here.
I also played some online and it seemed pretty good. no lag in fights with people from the UK but fought a few French people and there was some very noticeable lag. Gameplay wise, it feels really good solid so definitely no complaints there.
I mainly play as Cammy and she's as fast as ever.
My main problem is with how stingy the content is in this game. There isn't any challenge mode yet (whether this comes out day 1 or we have to wait, I'm not sure). The story mode is woefully short but they are adding more to this in June apparently and having only 16 fighters and some very noticeable omissions just doesn't cut it in this day and age.
On a side note, I don't know how aware people are of the DLC model in this game but they intend to release the first add on character in march and I read somewhere that someone had discovered DLC fighters can either be purchased with real money or earned in game for 100,000 fighter points.
If you win 1 battle in online vs mode you get 50 points and 1000 points for levelling up. so, if you complete every characters story, that's 160,000 points and in an hours worth of play yesterday I earned about 2600 points in about 14 fights.
Also, it's worth mentioning that there are 2 currencies - fight points and Zenny. I'm guessing the Zenny currency is the one you purchase with real life money but i guess time will tell.
And finally, I tested my PS3 HRAP stick with it and it worked fine so that's nice. no need to cough up for a new stick.
I hope this has helped some of you
