It's not a bad game by any stretch, but ultimately it's a jack of all trades. It can't match Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. for accessibility, and at the same time it falls short of the deeper combat subtlety of serious brawlers like Street Fighter. It's not terrible, but it's not amazing. 6/10
No offense to those who like it, but all you do is the same thing over and over again. It was a wonderful series back in the day, but the new one feels overrated.

If you still fear hadoukens, then I don't think you qualify to talk about what is or isn't a serious brawler.
