playing this is like entering bizarro world. not as horrendous as the arcade version, but nowhere near as memorable as the arcade version either. tbh the home port is kinda boring.

this version plays like a weird version of ST. the characters have their new moves form ST, but the speed is slow like The New Challengers. there are some neat ideas in here though (such as EX moves and Zangief's green hand being able to completely reflect fireballs).

the music is cool. a lot of it wouldn't sound out of place in Alpha 2.
