^ Killer Instinct was nice because it meshed the best of the most-popular fighters of the time (Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter) and added its own style and elements on top..

Yes, if you consider ultra hyper combos that can win a fight in one long sequence of 50-odd button presses as its own "styles and elements".

I don't think the D-pad on the jagpad lends itself well to a fighting game, it hurts too much to try and pull off special moves. I did unlock all the characters on Kasumi Ninja when I bought it back in the day and played it to death.. I think I may even have worn the headband to college on occasion!

Back then it was awesome, now it looks and feels very dated.. I personally don't like motion captured fighting games they feel rough to me, hence I much prefer Street Fighter 2 over MK.

I am glad that I was not the only person who wore that head band!

All fighters are rip-offs of the original Karate Master, the first 2 Player martial arts fighter. My favorite still to this day is World Karate Champ(US name) that was released for the C64/800 back in the day. I had plenty of fun with KN and UV though, too, as well as MK on the genny before that. I don't play new fighter games at all any more, the last were dead or alive and soul caliber on the DC. I ONLY ever play the Jaguar fighters anymore, at all. Probably purely for nostalgia, but I do have fun with them still, something I can't have with newer fighters.

The new Mortal Kombat for PS3 and X360 is pretty good.

Every year my friends and I get together for a 3 day, retro gaming marathon. We do lots of competitions. The winners get prizes, the loser is forced to wear the "Kasumi Ninja headband of shame."
