Quite a bit better than Virtua Fighter 2 on the Sega Genesis, twice as good as Deadly Alliance on Gameboy Advance, and 50 times better than Mortal Kombat Advance. You can sidestep, Korean backdash, juggle… it’s basically a shockingly functional (albeit stripped-down) Tekken 3 de-make on the GBA.

Obviously there are technical limitations in play (sprites, smaller roster, smaller moves list, less buttons, no Tekken Force or Ball) but when you look at the overall library of fighting games on GBA, having one that works this well is quite the treat.
