I played it on arcade too but since this is the main one I jump in, here I go:

KOF Peaked here. Hell, every KOF entry before this one peak in their own way.

The sprites are just so hypnotizing, they move so clean. The music as per usual never misses. It is a very beautiful game.

The gameplay can maybe feel a little bit "unresponsive" at first, specially if you are used to modern fighting games with a lot of buffer and leniency, but get passed that and you have peak neutral, peak combo expression, peak mixes.

Absolutely love this game.
