  "Michelle on the roof in Hong Kong."
 

 
PSOne Classics version on PS3. Nice graphical lift over T1 (see entry 1388), and control's slightly less clunky, except they nerfed mah throws (they come back a bit in T5). Music's still good. Lots of modes now, Team Battle Mode lets you play a one-off KOF-style team match--except with up to 8 characters per side, if you want! Even more characters than the first and even more to unlock.
 
Some impressive low-poly character and stage design. Lei's Hong Kong skyscraper rooftop, with its sharp skyline and colored lighting hitting the fighters from below, is a real standout.

Oh yeah, no sidestepping until the next game (except Kazuya's Mist Step, says Google?). Didn't get much from a quick re-mash here on pad; it didn't give me the cool background so it was a lot of very dark rooms and a washed-out field. Surprised it has pause-screen playlists; did they intentionally make them feel bigger than they are by having them stealth wrap as you scroll? They're actually pretty small, which generally I approve of. Circle button did nothing with Paul? Didn't double-check that at all though.
