Worth the $50? I might pick up the 360 version from Gamestop at some point since I have a bit of leftover credit from all the trade-ins, but then I'd have to pick up a Live subscription as well, and then a TV to play it on, and then a house to play it in, and after a while it begins to add up...
In all seriousness, though, worth it as a solid 2D fighter and as an online fighter?

Nah, in all seriousness, definitely get it. It's gorgeous and looks like a blast to play and 360 version already fixed it anyway.
Edit: also, the guy did get his shit wrecked later on so all's fair!
In the end I just gave up and started playing Akiha since you need to tigerkick everything with her anyway.

Why is K' in this game? :P

....on one condition:
Is there any viable alternative to the 360 gamepad? Are there any good arcade sticks, or any decent gamepads with decent dpads?

Haha, you know, I actually just noticed that.
Never been much of K' player though.
I'm more of a pad guy myself. Never did like sticks that much. Then again, that's just how I learned to play fighters in the beginning, so it stuck.

That stick is WAAAAAY cheaper on amazon...

As for the game, it plays like a MUUUUUCH slower guilty gear. It's ok, it has some neat tricks, but nobody else is playing it, so it kind of defeats the purpose of getting good at it since there's no one else to play.
Maybe because it's FUN?
I'm the same way with Guilty Gear since there is no local scene but I still play the shit out of it.
Plus it's just released to the American 360 so there's probably a few new players online.
Silly Antihippy, no one plays games for FUN anymore. What are you, stuck in the 90s?

I didn't say it wasn't fun. I played it at PAX with a few people and it was a blast. The little short kid is super broken.
However if I don't have people to play with, it's not fun, and everyone around me is too fixated on SF4, which is a much better game anyways...
...yay for living in one of the few cities with SF4 machines!
Goddamnit, you just had to rub salt in my wounds don'tcha.
I agree that playing against other people is fun. Lots of fun. But it's not the only source of fun, certainly not the only point to playing a fighting videogame.
I get a lot out of learning new fighting systems, new characters, new mechanics. Learning new characters. Figuring out combos and strategies. Stuff like that.
I enjoy playing other people... but sometimes playing other people is terribly boring. Usually what happens when playing fighting games with friends is that ultimately one person in the group just totally thrashes everyone else. And that person is usually me. So it becomes not so much fun to completely wreck my opponents all the time. I try to mix it up by using characters that I don't know very well, but usually I don't know them well because I don't find them fun to play as. And if it's no fun then there's no point.
On the other side of the coin, it's not always fun to play against someone so incredibly much better than you that you get thoroughly stomped into the ground before you can get a punch in edgewise. Can't even learn very well to get better in those circumstances..
The best scenario is finding someone/people who are relatively similar to your skill level, and that's hard to do. Another alternative is playing online, where there is usually a good mix of different skill levels, and you are better able to move around to different opponents so that you're not stuck constantly winning or constantly losing. No idea if this game supports that though.
