Yeah, I played it on PS5 and watched a few friends play on PC. Overall, it's nice to have something new to play after 6 years. The graphics, sound, and production value seem to be heading in a good direction.
The netcode was good but only once I set it to "prioritise response" otherwise it felt just like Tekken 7, it's still not as good as SF6 but it's a solid improvement with that setting.
It's not the right time to judge the balance, but backdashes being nerfed was not a good change imo, alongside making a ton of strings jail (hwo d4,4) which previously didn't, and adding tons of obnoxious string extensions to already bloated movelists has me feeling meh overall. For what it's worth, I do like the Heat system though, I think they're on to something good there.
Let's see how it goes and what more they reveal. I mainly used Law, Kazuya and Bryan and had fun.
