Until I was lucky enough to own this brutal beat-em up on my Super Nintendo, I sunk a lot of 50p’s in to this Rare/Nintendo/Midway collaboration. The game had great characters and dazzling graphics for the time, but what this game was all about were the combos. Now this game wasn’t the first to have a combo system in a fighting game, but this was the first game, that I remember, to have combo’s that went over 20 hits. You could even finish those off with a fatality move. The one I remember the most fondly was TJ Combo’s finisher where he would unleash a flurry of fists before landing one killer blow that would send the opponent flying in to the screen and sliding down it. Did pick up and play this the other day on my SNES, but for the life of me can not remember any of the combo’s. I may have to do some research.
