When 3D fighters first entered with Virtua Fighter, I was not impressed. Add to that the dismal nature of the Star Wars fighter and things did not look promising. But, thanks to games such as this and Tekken, the fighting genre was saved. I first played this game in the arcade and was floored. Gone were the glitching side to side movements. In were smooth animations with amazingly real movement. It translated as close to flawlessly as possible to the Playstation.
