So I played the game and it was decent but not worth 60$ IMO.
I have several problems with the game, like the screen being to large making it hard to tell where you are. But the biggest problem is the Super Attacks. It makes, in anything other than 1V1, certain methods of play virtually unviable as the game is mainly about getting kills rather than any defensive play (I also hate time matches in SSB for the same reason).
I will say before I make a paragraph out of this, this is not out of hate for New Dante. Okay so in truth, Superbot actually tried to get Old Dante but Capcom of course told them no and instead, should use the new one to obviously advertise their upcoming hack & slash reboot for you-know-what. What I don't understand is why Superbot couldn't have just said no. It's not like it's staff went to Capcom HQ in person and didn't want to come back home empty handed like someone in their 50's going to yard sales looking for random junk and it's certainly not like they thought they owed Capcom for them taking Seth Killian (the dude quitted to join Sony) so with all this controversy on the Devil May Cry reboot that can potentially harm sales due to butthurt fanboys crying over everything appearence-wise, why couldn't Omar just tell Capcom to take their offer and shove it and move along? He's already in talks with Konami. We got Raiden so why couldn't we already get Snake in the retail? It would certainly make up for Sucker Punch'es inFamous being the only game with two representatives taking up two slots in Battle Royale. And as if suffering from a barrage of hate from Super Smash Bros. fanboys wasn't enough and combined with the barrage of raging DMC fans, things aren't looking too good. Superbot really should've thought this through because if the sales don't meet their expectations because of these morons, we may not even get a sequel.

Yeah but if the old Dante from DMC 1-4 was in this, nobody would argue. New Dante from the reboot, however, is someone the majority wants to hogtie and piss flames on for looking and acting more different in a way they, as long dedicated fans, find to be offensive.
I dont need to point out the idiocy in finding "offense" at Dante's design in the prequel.
You say this like the entirety of the videogame community hates DmC and that Superbot should have been like "**** you capcom/ninja theory nobody likes you for the black haired dante."
People just like to freak out prematurely. The way gamers are. The way most people are. But hey, they havent played the ****ing game. Same kind of lunatics who gave death threats to early reviewers for Dark Knight Rises.
Let me see if I got this right.
Jak & Daxter vs. Ratchet & Clank: Both argue who's better.
Nathan Drake vs. Sly Cooper: Nathan's ring is valuable and Sly tried to steal it.
Fat Princess vs. Evil Cole (WTH?): I'm guessing a fat joke is the reason.
Sir Daniel Fortesque vs. Radec: The Helghast Colonel makes fun of Sir Dan for being a terrible leader of his king's army by being the first one to die right before his game even started, pissing the skeleton off.
Nariko vs. Dante: The Angel/Demon hybrid annoys Nariko with one too many pick up lines. That or Nariko sees him as an abomination for being something angelic but with demonic powers and shouts something along the lines of "kill it with fire". First one would be kinda humorous but I think the latter would be hilarious because imagine if New Dante were to represent the positive side of the DMC fanbase while Nariko sides for the exact opposite that despises him. Given the large amount of love and hate for the westernized version of the demon hunter on YouTube, I don't think Ninja Theory would be able to resist making such an easter egg.
Spike vs. Parappa: Spike believes Parappa is working with the monkeys.
Cole MacGrath vs. Raiden: Maybe Cole accidentally siphons electricity out of Raiden's cyborg body, making him kick start a backup generator inside him or something.
Sweet Tooth vs. Kratos: Because they're both guys who offed their families and spend most of their time going on murderous rampages, the clown will probably try to make the spartan revel in his actions and embrace the madness so he can have a BFF around but all Sweet Tooth does is make Kratos angry.
Actually, I heard that Kratos and Sweet Tooth got a rivalry because Kratos knocked Sweet Tooth's ice cream out of his hand. 😂
Also, it seems like the first two DLC characters are already revealed:

If that's true, I expected better out of David Jaffe.

Kat? I knew that leaked screenshot was telling the truth but that means Superbot really did add the Third Colossus in the Loco Roco stage but some reason now, it was replaced by Metal Gear Ray. Anyways, good to know we'll get more characters although I was hoping one of the first two would've been either Crash or someone from Final Fantasy but I see Activision and Square Enix are still playing hard to get. They seriously done goofed by not adding anyone to the retail.

Got this from my sis for Christmas. Altogether it's not half bad. The game's reliance on supers for the sake of winning seems like kind of a love-it-or-hate-it mechanic compared to the ring-out based mechanics of SSB. Other than that, the game's certainly accessible enough, maybe moreso than SSB considering the fighting mechanics and how easily the moves seem to be able to combo into one-another. The physics are on the floaty side ala Brawl, so if that was a turn-off for gamers who preferred Melee, then I don't think this game will speak well to them either. I do like the fact that one can turn stage hazards off in some modes, and in conjunction with the rest of the mechanics, the game is overall less prone to cheap deaths.
That said, this is all based on only two days of playing. I'll keep playing to see if there's any lasting appeal, but again, as far as blatant Smash Bros. clones go, it's one of the better ones.
Granted, I've also spent most of my time killing Dante and Nariko as Kratos, but whatever. Raiden and Drake are pretty fun once you get used to them as well. And Fat Princess being voiced by MILF-of-the-VA-industry Tara Strong is a nice little plus.
I wish the stage hazards could at least kill off the characters. Besides taking off a minimal amount of AP, they're just mostly there to make you wanna admire the scenery some more and while I find it kinda interesting it takes only supers to take out players, it can be quite frustrating if you ever miss with a Level 1 or 2 as you have to refill those bars, making me wish more we had a meter for everybody that tells you how much more damage a player can take before getting punched off the stage.
Also, Superbot needs to add an update to force players to use different moves from time to time because holy crap are Radec players annoying when they get to their L3s the fastest by spamming the damn sniper. That friggin sniper, man...
