Not having a community around this game is kind of big suck, there was some rumblings about it in my local area but it never got off the ground before COVID unfortunately. Even then, this is PS2-era ASW, so you'll have to dedicate some pretty serious lab time to just make some headwater here, doubly so because of how oppressive the offense in this game can be. Still, practicing and hitting dribble combos is very fun, getting a solid two-touch on the arcade AI is a good time, and this game is based on one of the most aesthetically unique shonens out there, so it's all great fun. I mean, sure, it's Mad Max Martial Arts if you're uncultured, but did Mad Max have the audacity to try and fit a Jesus Figure in Toki, Mr. Masculinity Incarnate in Raoh, and the ultimate joke character in Jagi all in the same narrative? Didn't think so.
