You can sum up everything about CFE in one world. It just looks like a mess. Times were tough in 2004. Strike characters also look noticeably "out of place" when fighting against "smaller" characters from Darkstalkers or SFA, and especially because those character spritesĬontain far less frames of animation. The animation for the 3rd Strike characters sped up, making even their animations seem worse in this game. Capcom characters in backgrounds resemble 2D cardboard cutouts.
