Yourself: I don't think anyone had a lunge forward with a sword so that is just outright misinformation. Really the only sense in which these AREN'T fighting game controls is that there is only one attack button rather than the three to six seen in arcade fighters of the time. The move variety here is on par with '90s fighting games like Street Fighter II or Fatal Fury - each character has a unique set of specials (down-up+attack, left-right+attack, jump-jump+attack, etc.), a unique projectile (mapped to its own button), a handful of combo variations (performed by holding the joystick in any of the four cardinal directions while mashing attack), multiple throws (directional or jumping), and a block. Yourself: This is where Guardians 'is the cake' so to speak. There aren't many beat-em-ups where I lose my character as often as I did in Guardians - it doesn't help that some enemies (and even one or two player characters!) are half the screen tall and a quarter of it wide, blocking a ton of real estate from view. That might look great on the drawing board or in a screen cap, but in practice the action is unnecessarily difficult to follow. So what we're going to do henceforth (starting with Guardians) is play each game twice - once from beginning to end as a 'demo' play (so that we can tell you about all the characters and stages and bosses) and a second time as a 'pro-run' with a fixed number of credits to be determined by our performance on the demo play.

There have been aspects of certain games (particularly the entirety of Growl) I've felt we may not have 'got' because we weren't trying hard enough to play well, or at least weren't being forced to. I haven't been super-happy with the occasions on which this's led us to write 'there might be more depth to the bosses, I didn't have enough time to learn in one playthrough'.
