The learning curve CAN be steep at times, but similarities in special moves between different characters can be found to make the finding of usable allies amongst it's intimidating roster just a bit more familiar. Not only can a team swap in and out to do some minor health recovery and take a break, but there are combos and assists you can perform creating an edge and power plays that can be executed which keeps the tag partner on their toes at all times whether they are in the immediate action or not. Being the first SF game with up to 4 players, (both locally and online), makes this a first by introducing the Tekken Tag element of a 2 on 2 brawler. The reason why we consider this a Street Fighter and not as much a Tekken game is that the adopted style was to adapt the Tekken charecters into the Street Fighter style and base of gameplay (and not the other way around).

The addition of so many Tekken charecters makes this fighter the most extensive and robust roster to date. It's just too bad they had to add this adult content into an otherwise fairly neutral game. There is some language as well, but apart from that this is, in our opinion, the best Street Fighter based game ever created. To put the issue aside, the overt exploitation of some female characters borders on soft porn.
