I might rent it, though I doubt I'll buy it. The single player of SC IV was decent enough because the computer ACTUALLY FUCKING FIGHTS YOU and doesn't just spam a single cheap move over and over and over again like the vast majority of the people I met while trying to play it online.

Seriously, Taki has this quick little slice to your ankle that stuns you just long enough to let her do it again...and again...and again...and again. Basically the only way to break out of it is if you can pull off one of those perfect blocks that makes them stumble backwards. Since I always sucked at those, there was nothing I could do. Then there was the Vader attack that would send you across the screen and knock you down, allowing him to force lift you back to your feet and do the same attack again.

In short: I hate the SC multiplayer...people don't fight you, they find one move with their favorite character and spam it over and over again come hell or high water.

My complaints about the multiplayer aside, my favorite character was always a toss up between Cervantes and Mitsurugi. So if I did get the game, I'd imagine I'd be maining as one of those (or more specifically: my own created version of one of those).
