I’ll be completely honest here, I’m not a big fan of traditional fighting games. When playing with them with other people I get the appeal a lot more but as someone who usually plays video games by himself a lot of these classic ones especially are not a fun experience playing alone. The AI in this game is absolute balls and it’s pretty much the one reason why I don’t really wanna touch this one again but compared to the other versions I’d be down for potentially picking this one up again, who knows. It’s got some cool fighters, some neat and simple enough mechanics and Karai is a super welcome edition. Are there other things here that make me give it a lower score for now? Well even though I can praise some of the gameplay aspects, I feel like this game is way too janky for its own good. Even on the lowest difficulty setting and speed it feels like this game is constantly on the fritz and… yeah it’s hard to describe here but still. Really though it’s the AI that screws everything over, I feel like I’m playing Street Fighter 2 Turbo with how rigged the difficulty is.
