Any sites that sell the game? Also, how good is the game balance?
As of now its very hard for me to comment on the games balance due to lack of match videos. Also, there is a wide range of skillful players. Overall, I find that its just like any other fighter. Obviously theres going to be a top tier char but in terms of this char being over powered, its not by much. The chars you see in the videos are generally the most used Chars as of now. Also, I'd assume there will be patches to apply to the game (as its PC) in order to fix any exploits which may be found.
As of now I really enjoy the game, the blocking system is great as there are 3 ways to block. I've played a few ppl online and I was quite surprised at how well they could do "just defends" on my attacks and counter me hard. Note that even if an opponent just defends you, this does not mean that they can come back with a large combo as you can tech out of your attack provided you realize that your opponent just defended you. Typically, you see either hard def chars or pure offensive. As of now I do find Ashley IMBA due to those guns of hers but she can still be beat
Moreover, theres also Overdrives which u really have to be careful of
