That was difficult. Definitely more grab and countery than its tekken and virtua fighter peers of its time, with buttons working as great "no u" cards you can use if you properly read the opponents attacks. That's fine and dandy in multiplayer but in singleplayer the AI just reads all your inputs and just no u's you the entire game. Or I'm just bad (the more likely scenerio) Like pretty much every other fighting game on earth, play with friends!
