VI. Things To Say
       This game is very much like Street Fighter EX, Bloody Roar and the Dragon Ball games
combined. Action and graphics like Bloody Roar with the build up capabilities as the Dragon Ball
games. The game brings some attributes of Street Fighter EX and Toshinden with similiar combo
and juggle systems. This game is good for any fighting game lover.

       The combo system in this game is proably the most realistic (as far as the game is
concern I have ever seen. You must actually hit the character to combo or juggle not just get
in the area on connecting. Also you can basically put any chain of a combo together. The combo
system is also similar to Street Fighter Series, so old gamers can get the hang os combos pretty
easilty. Some characters have pre-canned combos where they're to easy to do and take off alot.
Juggle are just as precise as the combos are, you must hit the character.
