Yeah, I said Gen is hard to play, doesn't mean I said that NOBODY can play

DO agree with you.  Nights, is the best game for Saturn.  It could have
been the best game ever if it had more levels.  Mario 64 is better than
Nights (IMO), even though it may have lots of more play mechanics,
such as double somersaults, sliding, etc. etc.  Crash just seems more
crazy and fun than Mario.  So Crash gets my vote.

Sakura, jump in and press medium kick, then two couching light punches, one

For Dan, you gotta play offensively and you must counter very well in order
to win.  Not a standing counter, but a couching counter.
