Pros and cons of SAMURAI SHODOWN II app for iPhone and iPad

SAMURAI SHODOWN II app good for

Im pretty stoked to see and play this port. Control issues? Theres solutions ;)
I must say finally able to play this on iOS is the best especially on the go. It plays just like it does in the arcades now if they release the entire series l will downloads too its a must have for any fighting fan.
Throw back action to the good old days. Great port!!! Plz get the other Samurai Showdown titles on iOS!!!
Awesome port of ss2. The team has done a wonderful job. All SNK ports are awesome! Love kof 97. Cant wait for samurai showdown 3!
Great port - but too hard to control on the touch screen. Please upgrade to add support for ios7 controllers and this is a 5 star for sure!
Very impressive! The old school arcade experience is nicely represented with the bonus of being easily playable on your touch screen device. The only drawback is that the game appears to be stuck on one of the highest difficulty setting despite your efforts to adjust it. This makes it very hard to progress. A definite 5 star rating once this is fixed.

Some bad moments

I have no idea to reset the size of key panel and move it to the right place.
This is advertised in the steelseries app as compatible, but not all the buttons are designated correctly. Too bad it isnt that playable otherwise.
This app is an excellent port of a great classic game. However, it has been unplayable since its purchase because Im unable to reconfigure the button and d-pad layouts. The default setting makes the buttons too big and the d-pad overlaps over 2 buttons. When I adjust their size somehow more buttons end up under the d-pad. Due to this, Im unable to relocate the buttons to another position on the screen and makes the game unplayable. I would love to give this game at least a 4-5 star rating but for now just a 2 star (for all my frustration) until the app is updated with better button configuration options.
I grew up in the 80s and 90s playing these arcade titles all the time. Theyre classics and I consider myself pretty adept at these types of fighters, but when I cant beat the second opponent on a difficulty level setting of 1, something is wrong. If youre playing on the lowest difficulty setting, its basically because you are asking for mercy so you can better learn the game. Youre opponent should be nearly comatose and you should be able to button mash your way through the entire game. This is the opposite, it becomes utterly impossible by the second opponent no matter the setting. Please fix this, i really want to love this game!
Having blast playing this game! I used to love playing it in the arcade as a kid. Its awesome that you can adjust the size and opacity of the controls! Kudos to the creators of the iPad SS II port, but... MY ONE WISH is that controls PLACEMENT could be arranged. I understand from a UI designers perspective that there is limited screen real-estate when playing on a tablet, but I think having the four buttons placed on the bottom of the screen, as well as lower the joystick, would be ideal., at least on the iPad version.
Please fix the controls! Cannot play at all due to the overlapping buttons.
