Description

Reviewed By Superfamiking of Super Famicom Central (R.I.P.)
So one of the biggest arcade games of all time converted to the SFC. A one on one beat-em-up with superb digitized graphics, this is as close to the original as you can get.
Was the original really very good in the first place? Unbalanced characters, cheesy trap moves (same move repeated can win a fight) and no scope for combos. Millions of fans swear by it, but don't believe the hype!
