quit for awhile due to frustration, but got back into it lately. I genuinely enjoy the game most of the time.

however, it's a horrific consumer product so I understand all the hate. basic quality-of-life improvements have taken forever to release. netplay is the same or worse than in week one. new characters animate worse than NRS games -- Ed is embarrassingly janky (that sweep animation...fucking hell) and Kolin is not much better.

I think S2 was a bad turning point for the game, because at that point it was clear that Capcom had no idea what the fuck they were doing gameplay-wise (made it harder for casual players, and more punishing for serious ones).
