Just had this come through and had 10 minutes with it. A couple of brief impressions; first thing struck was the poor quality of the character models themselves. They've been animated well enough, but they don't look right to me; almost as if they're completely detached from the background, unlike 3rd Strike, where everything looked to be integrated quite nicely.
As for the fighting mechanics, well, depending on which character you select, you've got immediate access to all their SA's from what I can tell. So, choosing Alex for example will allow you to pull off a Hyper Bomb and his Flash Combo. The parrying system is present and correct also, although I can't help but feel the game feels a tad slower than 3rd Strike. Maybe after a few more plays, I might it see it a bit differently.
So far, a little bit underwhelmed, but it's only been around 10 minutes worth of play, I'll wait and see what more play-time brings.
EDIT - Forgot to mention, you select any 2 characters from the start and it's the first to win 2 games, if after the 2 games it's 1 - 1; the losers battle it out to determine the winner.
