Best of Best brings together eight characters of wildly varied backgrounds — from a Rambo-style fighter to one wearing a turban — in one-on-one bouts resolved best-of-three rounds, combining punches, kicks, and special moves within the mold Street Fighter II had made standard. It's a typical product of the mid-90s South Korean fighting-game boom, when several local studios tried their own take on the formula without Capcom's or SNK's budget.
It never left a small circuit and today is practically unknown outside the arcade preservation community, but it serves as a sample of how many small studios tried their luck with the fighting genre during its most commercially frenzied moment.
