Despite being hailed as one of the greats, nobody plays this game. The series gets talked about a lot by people who like the designs, but nobody plays it. If you did play it instead of cooming or cosplaying as a fake "goth" "girl", you'd realize why. The pushblock mechanic is retarded and keeps 90 percent of the fighting game playerbase away and is what always has, because the game is only fun on the most casual level where you ignore that key function

You absolutely need a stick, and with it you need to smash your hand against all the buttons simultaneously to trigger the most important mechanic of high level play. It ruins the game.
