While it is neat to see a fighting game in the early 90s try to form a bigger and more serious story compared to its contemporaries (Even if twists like King being a woman and Mr. Karate being Ryo and Yuri's father have become common knowledge with their appearances in KOF) along with introducing some unique mechanics to this series, it is nothing too special at the end of the day. Doesn't help that the way this plays and how you pull off special moves doesn't feel as nice as I was hoping.
