2*: lots of disconnects & barely new players. tldr: play with 3 friends the game is fun if you know what you are getting into. competing for top spots takes huge amounts of cash. f2p still advances at a decent rate tho. battles take strategy to advance faster (or just idle until you strong enough) they introduce new stuff along the way which keeps it fresh. the late game suffers. a lot. strategy is mostly useless, most stages are power checks. level up takes so long later. no advance=ppl quit
