For me, this is one game I think you shouldn’t buy to play on a handheld console. Trust me—it’s absolutely not worth your money, especially if you want to play online. You’re guaranteed to run into all sorts of problems.
1. When you use M mode, you won’t be able to compete against high-level players compared to those who use C. They’ll have the advantage because their moves are smoother and more “broken” when it comes to pulling off combos. So, M is terrible in my opinion—if you don’t learn C, you’d be better off playing on a console with proper, precise controls. I bought it to play on a toaster, and trust me—it’s awful. That’s not even counting the World Tour mode, which is insanely boring.
(In short, you can buy it for casual fun, but you’ll lose interest faster than others—especially if all you have is the small controllers attached to your console. You’ll be at a disadvantage compared to players with full setups, because the servers throw everyone together. It’s a nightmare for those who only have the tiny side controllers. I recommend not wasting your time getting frustrated with it—play a game that actually suits the device instead.)
