Gameplay

Enemies love to stun lock you even on lowest difficulty. You can also abuse this by pushing the enemy to the edge and mashing the weak attack.
There are like 50 difficulty levels and I have a rough time on the lowest. Can't imagine doing something higher.
Standard SF2 controls.
Bad hit detection and minimal reaction to getting hit. It just doesn't feel very tactile. Feels like if one of the bad THQ licensed games were a fighting game. For example if you jump and land inside the opponent's hit box you both sort of slide away from one another. You can attack during this movement but the hits won't register until your hitboxes are no longer touching.

3 / 5

Level Design

Lots of stuff in the foreground obscures the view.
No animation in the background
Interesting but kinda boring as well

2 / 5

Theme

I'm not a furry so yeah, this does nothing for me.
Has a Kung Fu Panda vibe, just without any personality

3 / 5

Art Style

Smooth animation and well drawn artwork. It's just kinda boring.

2 / 5

Audio

Music is Chinese stuff and is pleasant...but it does nothing to get you pumped for a fist fight. The music doesn't even stop when a round or match ends. It just keeps going like it doesn't care what's happening on screen.
Sounds are minimal which again saps much of the excitement
