I don't think I've ever played a game with such cheap game design. Even SNK games, notorious for cheap AI doesn't even approach the stuff in this game.
- AI that has no charge
- AI that has a full-screen 1 hit kill no warning where if you lose you are not allowed to continue
- AI that makes zoning impossible
- AI programmed with auto-grab
I want to like this game, but the SP is just,so badly designed with AI that wants you to find ways to cheese it than play legitimately that it's honestly just, awful. Not a fun experience at all.

I do like the attempts at story-telling and the mechanics themselves (whoever you can actually get a game in SF30th), but the SP has the worst kind of artificial difficulty imaginable.
Not sure how this got a 9 back in the day, seems like the reviewer was totally excusing the SP or standards were simply lower.
