Gameplay

At this point I feel like a broken record. This game features a roster of 10 fighters and fairly standard SF2-style gameplay. As with most of these games I struggled to figure out how to perform special moves. A few of the SF inputs work but I couldn't find more than one per fighter. I know there's more because the opponents spam them like crazy.
Movement feels ok, although your jumps are mostly vertical. They have less horizontal movement than I feel they should.
Unfortunately there's no difficulty levels and only four buttons. Also, a lot of slowdown hampers the experience.

Level Design

Has your standard modes, minus a tournament mode. Again, the lack of difficulty settings is a drawback.

Theme

I don't know much about Yu Yu. It's a bunch of spiky haired people. There's some variety in the character designs and the menus and players select screens look ok.

Art Style

Nice sprites with ok animation. The special moves don't look very good, due to the less-than-ideal animation. The sprites aren't huge but are nice and chunky. Clean, colorful artwork with a consistent look and feel. I really like the screen shake effect when landing a powerful attack. Some slowdown

4 / 5

Audio

Good music and sound effects
