The 1st one was actually quite revolutionary when it came out; it simply had its thunder stolen by Mortal Kombat.

Plus the sequel came out a year later and was better in every way, so it was forgotten quite quickly.

SS3 was garbage because in typical SNK fashion, every time they do a major graphical overhaul for one of their series they don't have time to make sure the gameplay isn't a steaming pile of poo poo.

Which is why Metal Slug has always remained great since they never tried to change the graphics.....
except when they made Metal Slug 3-D which was horse dookie.

I remember ss2 having more damage for the stronger moves so the risk-reward was more pronounced, but I might be completely off here since it was a long time ago and I didn't really played that much. I just recall really liking ss2's gameplay over the others. I played all of them years later on emulators.

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone
iits so loving good
