I'm a die-hard fan of this series, I was ecstatic to hear about the reveal! Only time will tell if it actually runs great. I don't want this game to flop like My Hero Academia or Sword Art Online's game. I have to pre-order immediately and get Wakabayashi's challenge Ball!

I really like the game so far. But it needs an update. It runs just fine in Dock mode. But it's very hard to play on handheld mode. The screen is blurry. I don't know much about FPS, or resolutions, but it is bad optimized on handheld, and there are too many load screens, and they're long, like 20 sec each one. So they're super annoying. Anyways, the action is great, the matches are fun (specially if you play with someone else), and the story is good. Overall the ge is great. Hope they fix the performance issues
Oh, and the AI is crap... It's really annoying
