Trivia

• That whole “Nearly Flawless” comment on the back can go take a hike. Here’s a condensed list of what’s different / missing from the PSX Version:
• Characters have no animation on Selection Screen. Once chosen, their over-sized image does not show up.
• In-game animations have been cut to about a third. Sony of America sped up the game play to try and even out the difference.
• In the Japanese version, a Fierce Slash could grind the game to a halt
• The resolution has been severely dropped. I played both the Arcade and the PSX version on S-Video, and the difference was staggering.
• Zooming in / out gets extremely jerky with any flashy, larger move.
• Gaira has the most animation removed due to his size. His standing animation barely animates.
• Oddly enough, the load time is a tad better on the US side.
• Weird change – in the original Arcade, Ukyo’s stage fog moves as if it were a single entity. In the PSX version, it almost animates a tad more, perhaps due to the resolution issues. Hard to explain in text form.
• Despite all that, there doesn’t seem to be any loss in actual on-screen imagery. Foreground objects, background animations, etc all seemed present.
