The only thing I had to show for completing the task was green checkmarks next to everyone on the roster. After beating arcade mode with every character, I didn't unlock any of the outfits.
More paid characters are on the way, and a huge portion of the start screen is devoted to reminding you that you can buy them in advance now and purchase some additional outfits for the current roster, which is obnoxious and distracting. Only nine characters are available now, so the likelihood of your favorite obscure Ranger appearing is low. The tutorial doesn’t offer much more help than simply looking at the button layout, but after you compete it there is a training room, which is welcome, even if I ultimately didn’t have much use for it. You can find some long combo strings with experimentation, but I had plenty of success with simple combos, activating charged specials, and using lots of assists. Battle for the Grid doesn’t do anything interesting or novel in its fighting, and relies on a familiar system of simple blocking and attacking. The actual moment-to-moment combat is bland, but serviceable.
