For about 20 years now, I've wanted to make games. Up until about a year ago, I hadn't made much more than a simple ascii game in PASCAL and a hand full of levels in a handful of level editor ... more
I know I go overboard on the background when I'm talking about these games sometimes. That's because I'm trying to gain some sort of basic understanding of it. All of the fighting games I've pl... more

I'm just gonna get straight to the point here. I love this game. It's my favorite fighting game right now. It might be the best game I've ever played online. Not just for fighters. It's a stron... more
