Way too many diagonal-only inputs for the special moves here. Can't the game just be hard without the essential moves being hard too? It's a trade-off I have to choose every day: the guys are cuter in SNK but the guys are easier to control in Capcom. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.

Anyway, you know what I really enjoy? In old fighting games like these, they always do these profiles for the characters with their likes and dislikes as if they're in a teen magazine or something. Usually this is in lieu of any decent writing or characterization, and sometimes they are absolutely fascinating. Here are some good ones I found for this game:

Terry Bogard hated thing: Slugs
Andy Bogard hated thing: Dogs (this makes him the main villain as far as I'm concerned)
Joe Higashi favorite food: deep-fried alligator meat (you do you)
Cheng Sinzan hated thing: Bimbos (I don't know, maybe someone broke his heart, and now he's into grind culture, which is why his favorite thing is "savings")
Big Bear favorite thing: Amusement park rides (he's like five hundred pounds)
Big Bear hated thing: Koalas (...okay)
Jubei Yamada hated thing: Men smelling of sweat
Billy Kane likes: doing laundry (lmao what)
Axel Hawk hated thing: Mice (my man standing on a chair and shrieking, swatting away a mouse with a broom)
Laurence Blood hated thing: women and small children (honestly, same)

And my favorite one of the bunch, Ryo Sakazaki hated thing: bugs with multiple legs. Bugs with multiple legs! What on earth could he have meant? They all have multiple legs!
