Reception

The PlayStation 3 version received "generally favorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[4]

Bradly Hale of Hardcore Gamer said that "It may lack high-class refinement in certain areas, and the cast of fighters probably won’t be recognizable to those outside of the Japanese gaming scene, but those issues are incredibly minor when put up against the bigger picture — which in this case is a sound, robust fighting game."[11] Mandi Odoerfer of GameZone praised the game's Active Emotion System, saying that it "eliminates some of the fighting genre's biggest annoyances".[8] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of two sevens and two sixes for a total of 26 out of 40.[6]
