I know i'm not that great in fighters (ok, maybe a little), but Art of Fighting is a hard fighting game to get into. The gigantic sprites from what I can see is just for show. Mainly to just try to one up Street Fighter II. The only difference between this and Street Fighter II is how much more the game limits you.
First off, the game only lets you play as Ryo or Robert. This game's Ryu and Ken. So if you wanted to play someone like King or Mr Big, then tough luck. You can only do that on vs. Second is the stupid power meter. I mean i guess its there to prevent you from using your specials all willy nilly and be more strategic? But that honestly doesn't help when the AI is the typical input reading ass created for the sole purpose of eating quarters. But if you're playing it on a collection or the AES, then its a control tosser.
The game is just not fun. Even as a fighter. You're better off playing Fatal Fury or King of Fighters. Which is unfortunate since this is the only series that Ryo stars in. And its ass. The ending is also not even worth it, because it ends on a cliff hanger. The 2nd AoF game isn't any good either btw.
