Art of Fighting
Missing the fan serviceGenre: fighting - 1v1
Publisher: Takara
Year: 1994
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Standard SFII clone right down to having Ryu (Ryo) and Ken (Carlos) clones. Controls ok although special moves are hard to pull off. Only two buttons for the most part - punch and kick. The L and R buttons do weird stuff. Sometimes they blast the guy in front of you while other times they kick behind you. Why would I ever want to kick behind me when I'm always facing my opponent? 8 fighters but only two can be played in story mode.
Level Design Score: 4
Level Design Notes:
Standard 3 round fights but can be made 1 round in the options. Can also turn off time limit and dial down the difficulty to dumb as a box of rocks which is just my speed.
Theme Score: 2
Theme Notes:
Dumb damsel in distress storyline. Each fight starts and ends with a little dialogue but it's all formulaic at best. Completely unforgettable stuff. This might be the only fighting game without a female character. There's an androgenous one named King so maybe that counts?
Art Style Score: 4
Art Style Notes:
Nice animation. Big sprites Backgrounds have a bit of animation but are not memorable Camera zooms in when close to your opponent. Impressive scaling
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
Standard stuff. Not bad
Overall Score: 66
