Good review, but I can't help but feel that somethings were left out. Like How Zantetsu, Lee Rekka, and Kairi still fucking own the game, and Amano's been well-beyond toned down.
Mukuro is a fucking beast in this game, too. Hibiki is actually pretty balanced. Just wished you played more against a human opponent than the comp.

The characters are all diverse (as with all SNK games) and you don’t see a “Ken and Ryu”.

(cough Kyo Iori Kyo 1 Kyo 2, Leona and Heidern, cough)

Also, I'm pretty sure Amano's fighting with a bokken, not a sword at all.

Actually I'm about 2001% sure it's a sword, because in one of the games (win pose, opening, taunt, or something) he slightly unsheaths it. And I have played plenty against human opponents, I probably have about 5 hours against my brother.



Kyo and Iori are only slightly similiar imo, they share the same uppercut and that dash to grab move. I don't count the Kyo clones at all, because other then introducing K', 99 served no purpose. And Leona and Heidern share 2 moves, but they are different enough unlike the hardly different Ken, Ryu, and Akuma.

And no one character can own a game, unless it is MvC2. Because there is always stradegies for taking down the bitches.

What do you mean, "served no purpose"? It was still released, wasn't it?

There's Amano loving in the review, so it's good :0

And yes, Amano fights with the same kind of weapon that Hibiki and Ukyo (SS) use. End a match in LB2 with his B+C move (power mode) and see the love :D
