REVIEW:
Takuma can easily
be dubbed "just another guy in a karate uniform"... So if we're talking
about originality, Takuma doesn't have much of it. Nearly all of his
moves are shared by other fighting game characters and his generic white karate
gi is traditional, yet can be called boring.
On the other hand, Takuma's
alter-ego, Mr. Karate, does have a badass Tengu mask which certainly adds
a few points to his design. And thankfully, he has developed some pretty kickass karate
moves over the years. If you didn't know,
Ryo is also known as Mr. Karate in Neo
Geo Battle Coliseum... But Takuma is of course the original Mr. Karate.
