I recently played the arcade version of this game at a convention.The controls were hard to grasp and the buttons stuck but even with that it was such a visually and mechanically pleasing game that I was hooked. I lost several matches that weekend.But it was stuck in my mind, and I immediately found out the name and looked for it on Amazon. I ordered it immediately and have been hooked on it since it arrived.It's a fantastically made game with compelling graphics, incredibly interesting characters and surprisingly easy to learn gameplay. It's absolutely amazing all around and I recommend it to anyone who needs a great 2D fighting game.
