Anyway, I definitely feel it was worth it. They fixed many of the balance issues with Melee, and added new characters to boot. The new stages are impressive, evenly-built, and just fun to play on, where as honestly too many of Melee’s areas were too wacky for serious battles. The new modes are cool too, so it’s a definite improvement in all areas. So much pleases me about the game, even now, months after release. I don’t feel like I wasted my money in the least.

They certainly do a better job than most games in the fighting genre, in any case. King of Fighters would make a sequel even if all they’ve done is pretty up the graphics slightly. ;)
