    The game did well with stages and especially stage interactions for the time. Some interaction ideas were more advanced than some of SNK and Capcom in those years. Now one thing that aged horribly was the excessive screen flash, that for some reason was a "trend" around the mid 90s. Even Capcom used it, but less than SNK, notably around XvSF and MvSF. Now this DD fg is a special example of that trend.
