I find it comical how this game has virtually become known for the fact that the special attack button combos are unusually and absurdly difficult to be consistent at normally, which adds to the fact that if you can't use them to cheese the game, it can become a miserable experience lmao
So yeah, it makes a lot of sense to be surprised when you go from this to SF2 and everything just works exactly the way it should [don't ask me about tiger knees lol]- even if the input reader might be a bit more strict than modern fighting games, it is night and day compared to this game in every sense, but especially in that regard.
Thanks for your comment :D
