    Of the relative flood of fighting games that have emerged since Street Fighter IV revived the genre in 2008, only a handful have got tutorials right. Most of them have been made by Arc System Works, but the developer has outdone itself here. It does so almost entirely silently, in contrast to the text-heavy (but brilliant) tutorials of the Blazblue series. Granblue Fantasy Versus’ Mission mode sets a new standard for the genre: it does so not by adding something new, but by rethinking something that was already there.

    Mission mode features what teaches you things you can, and should, take directly into a match.
