What players think
The recurring themes across 179 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I've always had a love for '97 as certain characters are quite impressively overpowered (Terry) and who can resist a non-charge version of Robert?
Voices, hit sound effects, and super move audio cues remain instantly recognizable, reinforcing the game’s iconic status.
Code Mystics’ implementation generally succeeds, especially compared to earlier ports of Neo-Geo titles, making online matchmaking viable for both casual and ranked players.
Global Match’s modernization efforts concentrate primarily on online infrastructure, incorporating rollback netcode to support more stable competitive play across distances.
Offline modes—including versus, practice, and survival—remain intact and faithful, preserving the original gameplay experience without unnecessary modification.
The presentation retains the distinctive Neo-Geo pixel art style, which remains vibrant, expressive, and timeless.

Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 4 sampled reviews and are not shown.
