Yeah, this game needs no introduction. Though the animation work and visuals aren't bad for the time, the hit detection, controls, and moves are all total ass and it could never hope to establish any kind of competitive scene on the fighting game circuit, even ironically.

Fun fact: Shaq Fu was initially-pitched as a traditional basketball game by the developers, until Shaquille O'Neal suggested making a fighting game instead as he had become a fan of Mortal Kombat when it was released.
