Played as part of Atari 50.
Admittedly I'm missing quite a lot of context as far as fighting games as a medium goes, but even I can tell this is unusually sluggish and clunky, especially for the time when plenty of big-name games had already been out for half a decade. Characters have way too much health and battles take way too long, and each character doesn't have more than a couple piddly combo attacks that hardly do more damage than the normal basic ones (although I guess you can unlock more in a run by beating opponents in the single player mode?). Really just comes down to two people slapping each other with basic attacks for like 3 minutes a round. Very understandable why this is considered one of the worst games in the Jaguar's already mostly terrible lineup.
