kind of a bummer...i invested a lot of time into building a character, which was a part i really liked...that reminded me of the old WWF games they made where you could customize your wrestler to a tee..
However...this is slow, unpredictable, and above all else the Author is asking for donations to play a version with more content. if the action were most fast-paced, and controls weren't all over the place, I'd be totally into this. the graphics are fine, and I love the number of options available. i still have yet to see a keyboard-only fighter that really works.
i think it's easy to be let down by this genre, given that people who play it know what they want and know what they like. Obviously the cult-classic "Guilty Gear" this isn't. It's not Tekken either, and I know that. But I won't lie, I always go into fighting games on newgrounds hoping for something awesome, and usually it is just this.
i don't really see the logic in adding 50lb's of fluff to something that is just not worth it. but that is of the Authors choice, and I can tell a great deal of work went into this game. it's just that when you get down to the meat of it, the fighting is not that good.
