If you came to build your own fighting style, it won't work. Currently a tier list of moves is already forming. If you do not have any of these moves, your combat deck is already subpar. Currently, the best decks are comprised mostly of kicks because they are far more powerful and versatile than punches. Kicks have range, sweeps (side attacks to hit people dodging), special avoid properties, and even speed. Punches are relegated to more of a supporting role, with a lot of them being obsolete, good for nothing but pure speed. Almost all punches only aim at the torso and come straight, making them easy to avoid. Fighting can also be a pain with the severe amount of lag this game has. Players will teleport around, attacks will hit that seemed they missed, and often you will find your attacks phasing through other players. Considering that this game is mostly PvP, this is quite noticable. The simple act of having other players in the same session even causes the NPCs to lag. Speaking of NPCs, they are either complete chumps, or world class champs. There is no in-between. High level NPCs seem to read your inputs, enabling them to pull off maneuvers such as dodging your first hit, or countering you perfectly. Usually, this can be handled in a one on one fight. However, one on one fights are rare. Often, you fight a group of enemies at the same time. When fighting high level NPCs this is nigh impossible alone. While you focus on one, the others will move in and begin attacking, all while the one you are focusing dodges or blocks your attacks. If you try to attack them all at the same time you will simply eat their combined attacks. This leaves one tactic, poke and dodge. You get in a punch or two, then quickly retreat. This ensures victory, but is incredibly boring. Ultimately, I have tried this game and found it wanting. I can't enjoy the PvP with the lag and metadecks, yet I can't enjoy PvE because it is basically nonexistent. This game is not worth the current price.
