So Burning Fight is a great game then? You disagree that the animation is crap?

My post doesn't imply that Burning Fight is a great game, it was a critique of your critique.
What makes a beat 'em up generic vs. original?
What type of animation would one expect from such a title in the 1991 Neo Geo context?
Anytime someone calls a beat 'em up "repetitive", it's obvious that they're looking at things through a superficial lens.
I do agree, that it was most likely considered a poor game when it was released, but if there was anything really cool mechanically about BF, would you have played the game to the extent of finding it?

You did see that I mentioned repetitive goes w/the genre to some degree, correct? Probably not though.
As for what makes a beat em up generic vs original, Robo Army IMO is a better game than Burning Fight. In that you can transform into a car, there's the special moves and it's more interesting with the various robot animal enemies. Final Fight is more interesting because the characters have different abilities, there seems to be little to no difference in the characters in Burning Fight. Want another original beat em up? Comix Zone on the Genesis. Sorry to have apparently offended you by not liking Burning Fight...

The content of this rebuttal pushes you further into the superficial lens-realm. I've read your post well. Stating "repetitive" or "repetitive goes w/the genre to some degree" makes no difference. These are the types of statements better reserved for people who don't really like/play old video games (I'll assume you do).
Comix Zone is a console game and isn't even a belt scroller, silly comparison. You come across as an intelligent guy, don't pretend I'm offended by your opinion of burning fight. Take my messages for what they are.

You probably added 'most likely' to indicate exceptions to this poor reception and here they are: http://www.kultboy.com/testbericht-uebersicht/3603/
Two reviews in the German press from the early 90's -- Burning Fight was released in mid '91. Video Games awarded it with the highest assessment, calling it "hervorragend" (outstanding) and a year later, Mega Fun ordered 77%, which you could interpret as highly recommended. In '94 the most prestigious mag back then made a synopsis of short reviews of almost all Neo-Geo games available at that time and Burning Fight was awarded three out of five stars. The conclusion was:
To sum it up: At least in in Germany, Burning Fight was very well received at its release and its evaluation never sank more than to be called clearly above average during the following years. The best reception out of the Neo brawlers had Robo Army, BF & both Sengokus were second best followed by Mutation Nation.

Thanks to Apocalypse, I will be playing more MS1 for the next few weeks. He posted a memory patch cheat that bumps the game difficulty up to 9. Not sure if it's only aesthetic or if it actually makes a difference. Main reason is to really see if there is a difference.

Sent my Neo CD off to be restored/modded and my Omega will be here Friday, so right now I've got no Neo Geo to play except the NGPC. Put some time into MOTM and MS 2nd Mission today

My Neo CD is back in action so I played some Puzzle Bobble, Super Baseball 2020, and Last Resort with my brother today. Also put in some time on Pulstar before he got here.
Yesterday we played Metal Slug, Street Hoop, Real Bout Fatal Fury Special, Waku Waku 7, and The King of Fighters 99.
It's rare that we both have the same days off in a week AND his wife doesn't also have the day off, so we got to put in some major Neo Geo time.
And I replaced the screen lens on my NGPC today, so I put in a little MOTM time.
