Ranma 1/2:Hard Battle is the 2nd VS Fighting game for the SNES and was the Only one to be published in the USA, altho the 1st game did make it over too but was totaly changed into a diffrent game titled "Street Combat". Hard Battle is a very good game, featuring colorful graphics and somewhat catchy japanese music. The game is much more limited then the 3rd Ranma 1/2 SNES game and other VS Fighters from around the mid 90's, so don't expect flashy special moves like Street Fighter 2 had. Each character has their own story and there are 3 hidden characters in the game.
An excellent fighting game. It doesn't play like your normal fighter, like in Street Fighter you use the direction on the joypad and then press your attack buttons, instead, Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle has the players charge up an attack by holding the attack or special button down and then releasing it with a specifically held direction to release explosive attacks. It is a very easy game to pick up and understand and the story line changes depending upon which character you play. Some unlockables, I wish there were more, but it's still a great game that you can play by your self, against others, or with someone else. I give it 5/5 stars. A great SNES game and great for those who love Ranma 1/2.
This is based on an anime from one of my favorite creators. It shows in the silly dialog and great art/music direction. Its gameplay could use some work however. The control layout is rather unusual. How many 2D fighters have a jump button? Odd. Once you learn the hang of that, the game begins to pick up its stride.
I like playing this game, its fun and great for its features of its year; it was a great deal for this game:)
Perfect
