Que más se puede decir este título que no se haya dicho. What more can we say this title that has not been said. Quizás sea el juego de lucha que más recuerde, no por su espectacularidad gráfica, no por sus golpes especiales, no por sus combos, simplemente porque fué uno de mis referentes en cuanto a juegos de lucha 2d se refiere. Perhaps this game of struggle that most remember, not because of its spectacular graphics, not because of their special blows, not by their combos, simply because he was one of my referring regarding games 2d struggle is concerned.
Es el juego de lucha que seguramente más dinero gasté en recreativas, y que con mayor precisión capté sus tiempos y movimientos. This is the game that will certainly fight for more money spent on recreation, and more precisely capté their time and motion. Por eso, se merece un hueco en mi blog, como el juego de lucha a tener en cuenta, para todo aquel jugador casual, aficionado o pro. Therefore, it deserves a hole in my blog, as the fight game to be taken into account, for those casual player, amateur or pro.
Sin lugar a dudas, un espectacular juego, que supo dar un paso adelante con respecto a su antecesor, el KOF 97 y del que siempre tendré un gran recuerdo. Undoubtedly, a spectacular game that was able to take a step forward from its predecessor, KOF 97 and that I will always have a great memory.
