incredible and ahead of its time. The gameplay feels so satisfying, the gameplay loop is just fun. At the heart its a strategy game, and its fun to learn the patterns of all the fighters, until you eventually beat them. Also, its crazy how much personality and charm this game has for an NES game. Each character is incredibly designed. You could take this game, update the graphics, and put it out on a modern day console. Oh wait, they did that on the wii.
