The DLC Report: Power Rangers - Battle for the Grid Season 2 Shadow SPD Ranger

 The goodest of boys joins the grid.

 Well, Power Rangers - Battle for the Grid's season 2 is upon us, and it promises great things, such as Gekiranger's Ryo and the White Ranger costume for Tommy, but to open up we've got SPD's Shadow Ranger, also known as the bestest boy in town.

 For starters, the new patch offers a new Mech Ultra, the SPD Megazord, as well as a new SPD stage. The new stage is alright, I like the oranges and pinks. As for the Megazord... It's a bit of a mixed bag. I'm glad we've finally got a Zord that does more than just hit the screen, but the random factor makes it a bit meh. Y'see, whenever it attacks, there's a chance it may just buff you instead. It's neat, I can appreciate having a Zord that behaves in a different way from the others, but that also makes it the worst so far.

 As for the Shadow Ranger.... I found him a bit bland. He's got a counter, and his neutral special is different depending on what button you press afterwards: Dash forward by tapping forward, Iai-slashes by pressing Weak attack(twice), an elbow knock-up with Medium and a slow-but-powerful slash with Strong. On the other hand, I found his animations a bit stiff, and his overall kit rather slow and boring.

 Well, while I found this first additions a bit lackluster, I've high hopes for the Ryo, so there's that. If you ask me, while we've already got too many Tommy's, Kruger would've been a fantastic skin for Red Ranger Jason, while White Ranger Tommy could've been his own character.
