Probably one of the best fighting games of all time.

The spritework is still gorgeous to this day, and the gameplay itself and roster is a lot of fun.

My only nitpick is that I wish there was a bit more diversity of character choice, as there's a massive abundance of Street Fighter characters on the Capcom side, though that's due to the fact that only 8 out of the 56 playable characters were actually made for the game. The rest of the cast is repurposed almost wholesale from other titles, assets and all, though that's a big part of why the game was able to get such a big roster as it is. I also kind of wish they had shelled out for another character instead of giving Wolverine two separate slots with few differences between them, would have been cool to see another Marvel character done in the CPS2 artstyle since the only two new additions on that side were Cable and Marrow.
