I used to have this on the Saturn and thought it was fine (I sold it during hard times knowing how much money you get on eBay for any old shite game if it's older than my kids), I had good memories of blasting through it.
It's on sale on Xbox right now for the nice price of £1.69, so I thought I'd have a blast at it.
It was crap.
Slow character movement, ridiculously powerful CPU opponents and a really iffy ring out system. And jumping sends you into fucking orbit, with only the ability to use one kick or punch whilst up there. I understand why this was Street Fighter and Tekken competition back in the day, as 3D was the next big thing, but this does not compare to either.
I did not have fun playing this at all, even when winning, because you have to fucking spam it to get anywhere and that does not make an enjoyable fighting game.
I gave it an extra star for the aesthetic and music however. It's very much of its time, and most games of that time have a good vibe.
Thus ends my critique of a 28 year old videogame, and my worst buyer's remorse for the smallest amount of money.
