I like being able to listen to your own soundtrack while still playing an online battle. Kind of blew me it would cut off on the OG SFIV. Having your rank change individually with each player is pretty cool, but means much more work if you're into the whole 100% completion thing. The replays are a nice touch. You can watch to see where you're fucking up and try to make some changes there. The netcode seems a little better this go round. I haven't had a dropped game yet, and only a few games with noticeable lag or slowdown.

I do notice there have been a LOOOOT of annoying ass Ryu fighters as of late, more so than Ken players from SFIV.
