Do I need to play online to really experience the game?

I went back to play this on the PS4 once I saw a new character was released, and I do have to commend the devs for making a cheap game with free new characters. I think that's cool.

...But there doesn't seem to be much to this game. Most of the characters play very similarly, and going through arcade mode, every fight can be won the exact same way. Wait for an opening, use your best combo, rinse and repeat. How different is fighting online to fighting an AI?

I didn't realize I posted this on arena instead of the regular one.
