Review - This port of Capcom's all time classic 2D hand drawn fighter is amazing!

The backgrounds look like paintings that come to life, exploding with beautiful colors and animations. Sure some frames of animations are missing here and there but nothing major. This is an unfortunate side-effect of the little video-ram available on playstation.

Gameplay is truely excellent although I have to say that I hate playing 2D fighters with the regular playstation controller because it's very hard to use diagonals.

Interestignly, for the first time ever, there is an american cover that is better than its Japanese counterpart!

Bottom line: a nicely crafted coin-op port, playable but not pixel perfect. 7,5/10
