Reception
Bradly Hale of Hardcore Gamer gave the game a 4/5, saying 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." Mandi Odoerfer of GameZone praised the game's Active Emotion System, saying that it "eliminates some of the fighting genre's biggest annoyances".
