The best fighting game in history.

This is easily THE best fighting game ever created. Everything is perfect, from the character design, to the controls, to the balance, to the secrets... it's a shiny gem. My only issue is that the backgrounds, thematically, were a letdown, compared to the gorgeous backgrounds of 94 and 95.

Most memorable fighting game ever.

No other fighting game left such an impact in its time. I own this port on Steam (and I hope to grab it here eventually), it's fairly good.

One of my top two fighters

I had this game on the Neo Geo AES and played it for years. The controls are accurate and just forgiving enough to make it smooth. The graphics are good but were great for their time.
