That's right you heard it folks. I've been playing this game on and off for years since it's arcade appearance, and I beat this game down in the arcade. I have to say it's the most entertaining 3d fighter out there (street fighter alpha 3 is it's equal but in different ways). This game makes you form strategies that have to be decided upon and changed within a split second. Although it being a slower paced game than other SF, the extra time allots you space to form countermeasures against your foe. Like I said before, this game is more like intense chess than a fighting game. The controls are customizable and intuitive. You don't want a novel to tell you how to play a game and this beats the rest with replayability up the ying yang. Due to unfortunate circumstances I'm about to buy another copy, (for the third time mind you). You want a great fighting game that doesn't lose its touch, this is it.
