What’d you think?: For a game series so associated with animating the bouncing of breasts, I was a little surprised to find it a toggleable option. I was disappointed, but not surprised, that no regions of male characters received similar attention. As a fighting game, this seems fine? I don’t know frame data or balance or anything, but there were decently large movesets, quartercircle, halfcircle, and double diagonal inputs, and everything played pretty quickly. The training mode is pretty good for its time. Some moves do a whole lot of damage and rounds are over pretty quick. A worthy competitor to Virtua Fighter.
