I finally had the demo sink its hooks into me last night. I figured out how to block transitions, rather than always trying to advance them, and more importantly I started blocking and moving my feet. Suddenly, the CPU was punching itself out and I was timing my strikes and landing them, which is especially lethal when your opponent is gassed. I'm not saying the game is perfect by any means, but once you get a grasp on the controls, it really is pretty engaging, for me at least.
