This game has to have the craziest engine out of all of the Neo fighting games (especially for being released in 1995).
I haven't been able to specifically identify the universal standards/rules as far as what combos outside of basic links, but jeez.
A double jump (which can be buffered from a dash)
Links that can combo into chains.
Dash moves that combo off of links and chains.
The absurd juggles!
It's a lot to take in! I get why the game get's a bad rap (looks dated for 1995, doesn't meet aesthetic and thematic expectations for those looking for a Double Dragon "feeling" maybe).
Lastly, the presence of a lot of the crazy stuff in the engine isn't obvious. The off and on time I've spent with it throughout years, I've never really been able to do anything more than basic strings and two in one combos.
I've always defended the game as decent anytime I'd hear it get trashed, but I never knew how crazy it was. I mean...the game seems incredibly broken..so decent isn't a fitting term. I don't think 95% of peoples distaste for the game comes from a broken engine though.
Some of these combos appear so over the top that I'm suspicious of tool assists here

I'm very much a DD noob. Does anybody on the forum have a strong knowledge base?
