To each their own, but SNK vs Capcom: MotM on ngpc manages to be really good with only 2 buttons imho. Some fighters pull off the 2/3-button setup better than others.
Config preferences aside, I know most prefer WHP, but I always missed the death match modes from the previous WH games that made the series unique in the first place.
I remember really liking WH2 on the snes back in the days when it came out, so when I got a NeoGeo Cab, it was one of the first game I purchased! I guess I was just young and impressionable back then.
