Critical Counter - with every hit you take or give a meter fills up kinda like in SFIV with the revenge meter(the flaming meter) but it's green. When it fills up, you have a chance to counter an attack with Heavy Punch or Heavy Kick only one or the other depending on the character. When you land a hit, it opens the opponent up for a combo attack. More like a custom combo attack but limited. You can get in a few regualr hits like LP,LK,HP,HK and special move or a combination of other inputs, your choice. The thing is, when your meter fills up, you have to counter right away as the meter depletes with time until it is empty. Like I said, no final boss, no clones, no hidden characters, no survival mode, no locked characters. Nothing special about this game. It did come with a wall paper theme for the PS3 only 2 i've seen, still isn't special.
