- My thoughts:
- Hitbox is beyond ridiculous
- You can’t move and strike?
- Feels like I always just miss
- Should be more like how it starts. More consistent changes to gameplay dictated by the story
- Prom Action
- Barter to have Miyagi take you to Okinawa
- The Minigames are a nice addition - EXCEPT that stone one.
