enjoyed it just as much as i thought i would. a truly lovely experience.
this game feels absolutely insane to play. like i've gotta watch some professional matches of this because you can do incredibly cool stuff and rack up tons of damage by, seemingly, just mashing buttons and doing standard fgc inputs. it's absolutely wild and i've gotta bust this out sometime with friends. gonna be playing this one a whole lot more.
very high possibility that this becomes one of my favorite games ever. that soundtrack is amazing too
i was gonna like this game out of principle, since how could i dislike a fighting game where not only are ToHeart character's playable, but also one where tamaki is literally top tier lmao. turns out the game is actually just a solid fighter in general with some interesting assist mechanics, which i may not even fully understand completely (yet). i love the four button setup as usual and the special moves are easy to figure out even without a guide --though i do recommend afroshouji's gamefaqs guide if you're looking to play it. my only complaint is the difficulty of the final boss, since his assist gives him a whole bar of health after you've beaten him, but I think that complaint could be used for nearly every arcade fighting game.

that final boss is insanely tough. sweet game tho
1994
probably my second favorite bonk (so far) tbh
too sunburnt on vacation to do much else at the moment, so i figured i'd download a whole bunch of pocket color fighting games and they're all a blast. just happened to beat the story mode on this one first (with guile, ken, and terry). such an extremely solid fighting game for a handheld. admittedly i'm playing on my laptop keyboard so special moves are a bit difficult to pull off, but it's a fun time nonetheless. i think im gonna dive more into handheld systems
the fine wine of beat em ups
infinite replay value too

super fun and simple moveset that's easy to pickup and play, but requires a deeper understanding to beat the later enemies. highly recommend this one
1991
cool game with a cool art style. if you've got half an hour to spare and like beat em ups, give it a try. it's on fightcade and there's a saturn version
1999
man i really love the KoF series. this one has some of my favorite win screens and quotes in the entire franchise. just like the others, it's super easy to learn, plays surprisingly smoothly, and has cute character designs for (most of) your favorite characters. nothing to complain about here.
2001
possibly the best combat in any beat em up, besides SoR4. this is definitely one of those you should only play with infinite lives, but pulling off combos and finding new hidden moves is worth the trouble
possibly the least beginner-friendly fighter i've ever played, but the animations and music are great. im sure it'd be more fun if i put more time into it....
but from what i've heard there's not too much point in learning this one when there's other (supposedly better) touhou fighters

this game is so insanely addicting, i just wish the online was more active : (. i wanna get all my friends to play this. love it
1996
such a fun fighter that will (more than likely) never be replicated again.
