This fighting game began the story of the Sakazaki family and Robert Garcia. Yuri Sakazaki has been abducted by Mr. Big to punish her father, Takuma, and her brother, Ryo. To rescue her, Ryo and Robert must take on numerous enemies around South Town, eventually reaching the mysterious Mr. Karate. The passion of the game’s creators is evident in the unique game play elements introduced. These include an energy gauge that is depleted every time a fighter uses a special maneuver, Desperation Attacks that are usable only when a fighter’s health is low, and camera zooming that adjusts on the fly as fighters move around the stage. All these features ensure that players use strategy and tactics, rather than simply mash buttons. Adding to the mix are little touches such as characters showing cuts when they are injured and voice-over samples during cut scenes. Can you perfect the art of fighting and save Yuri?

It's a Street Fighter II rip-off, that's for sure, and I think the combat, despite being a little better than Fatal Fury, still sucks, but the game presentation is actually really good.
No, I'm not talking about the characters; they look pretty generic and honestly I don't think I will remember any of them three days from now, but the story is actually well presented for an arcade fighting game and it's interesting how this game is actually a prequel to Fatal Fury itself.
Presentations and music aren't great for the SNES version; there are way more impressing SNES games out there honestly. It's a shame they even removed the bike scenes tho, they were kinda iconic.
