A mostly generic brawler with the one unique bit being the "Flash" like running segments. They have some neat visual flair like enemies jumping at you from the foreground and background, but the combat itself is largely the same mindless button mashing here as well.

The single coolest thing about Eightman has always been the evil Popeye power dynamics where instead of eating spinach he just pulls a pack of smokes before beating up people, SNK were cowards for not including that in.
