So, I'm not even really sure why 2024 has started me off here, but it has.
This game is. Bad. Like, very bad. Roster is small, the graphics leave a lot to be desired, the game has remarkably less frames of animation than the original street fighter on the DOS that came out 20 years earlier than this, Donkey has meth teeth. Overall, just miserable.
No story, but there is a practice mode, which is about as useful as a chocolate fireguard considering there are only two buttons, so not a particularly hard game to master. There are hadouken inputs for each character though. Actually you could argue these are the only inputs worth using, as even the AI thinks so, spamming them a lot faster than you can, so good luck with that.
So most games I touch on the mechanics, so here's the rundown. Two buttons. Punch and more punch. Motion inputs, and a special bar that just, doesn't work - I pressed every button combo I could think of but just couldn't find the combination that worked. Also weirdly there's death pits - Holes in the map that act as insta death. Yeah, these are traps just for the player, because the AI sure as shit isn't falling in them.
This game has no redeeming qualities. I could have played absolutely anything else. Tekken 8 is out for fuck sake. What on earth am I doing with my time. But instead I got to stare at all 3 frames of animation each barely recognisable character had. Do not bother, this game is miserable.
