One of the Saturn games I most regret not buying, because then I might have had time to learn how to play this well enough to beat it. It still looms large in my memory, of this seemingly impossible triple co-op fighting game. It felt endless in options when I played it as a kid, and that sensation doesn't always hold up upon revisiting something. That's the main thing that's kept me from trying it again, fair or unfair. Maybe someday!
