SNK and their influence in the burgeoning period of fighting games is a topic I've gone over while reviewing other tournament battlers, from their launches of Samurai Shodown, Fatal Fury, and Art of Fighting. Then it came time to make sequels, to see what the director and development staff learned from their previous offerings to shape potential…
