Ever played one of those weird, charming SNES fighting games that never made it outside Japan? SD Hiryu No Ken is exactly that—a chibi-style martial arts brawler where tiny warriors throw exaggerated punches and kicks like they're in a Saturday morning cartoon. The first thing you'll notice is how absurdly fast it is—characters zip across the screen, and matches are over in seconds if you're not careful.
There's something hilarious about watching these little guys pull off flashy special moves (one dude literally turns into a spinning tornado). The roster's small but weirdly balanced—I kept losing to the ninja until I figured out the samurai's reach advantage. It's janky in that classic '90s fighting game way, where half the fun is figuring out what actually works.
If you're into obscure retro fighters, this one's a blast with a friend. Just don't expect Street Fighter depth—it's more about chaotic, over-the-top energy.
