7/10

+graphics are amazing, lighting, damage modeling, body types and camera all standout as impressive

+movement and punch animations are much improved

+Full Spectrum Punch Control is great

+footwork is improved from FNR4

+1 punch K.O.'s are handled well

+CPU A.I. is a lot better than FNR4, actually presents a challenge without being cheap

-really disappointed they went with a "queue combo punches" mechanic instead of a more responsive system where punches are thrown exactly when you flick the stick

-disappointed that perfect block causes a counter window, pretty sure we were told all counter windows were gone at one point in development. If perfect block just guaranteed a really high chance that the punch would be blocked and that's all, I would be onboard. Timing a regular block is not the same as parrying, and may really hurt the game

-disappointed in some of the current tuning decisions (short-term stamina drains too slowly), heavy punches don't do enough damage to a fighter's health, regular punches are too accurate

-disappointed the dev team didn't think to add a punch feign mechanic and the ability to cancel a queued up combo with the block button

-netcode seems worse than FNR4, haven't had 1 smooth match online yet, couldn't even connect to anyone today
