Is the game worth it?

Hey everyone, I am looking for a new 3D Fighter and I heard some criticism about Soul Calibur 5 so I decided to wait a little bit. Now it's available for about 30 Bucks and I also heard from Maximillian (The Online Warrior series), that the netcode is pretty solid.

Fighters I enjoyed online the most so far are Super Street Fighter IV, Soul Calibur IV and Mortal Kombat 9.
What do you think, should I get it?
 
Depends on what you're looking for out of a fighting game.

If you're looking for a solid fighting game to play online, then absolutely pick it up at that price.
 
Cool, I think I will give it a try then. Because I liked SC4. And even if the singleplayer content is worse, I prefer multiplayer anyway. =)
Thanks.
 
Thanks guys. Well I got the game now and after 40 hours of playtime I can definitely say, that I like this game a lot!
Started ranked matches and I am winning about 70% of my matches so far and the netcode is awesome (even better than SSF4 netcode imo).
The character customization, the online play and the gameplay is much better than in SCIV. And these 3 things are the most important aspects for me in a Fighting Game. :)

Just my main Ivy is a bit different here, but that's not a bad thing, I like the changes to be honest.
The reviews for this game are underrated. I think they looked too much at the story mode, but in the end, the longevity depends on the quality of the multiplayer imo.
