How well does El Chavo work as a fighting game?
The fun comes from recognizing two things at once. When El Chavo throws a fireball, you immediately know how much room to give him. Then you notice the courtyard stairs and the barrel in the background. The game keeps the pace of Street Fighter II, with one-on-one matches built around when to jump, block, or throw out a special move.
The moves will feel familiar to anyone looking for a round of classic Street Fighter II. The appeal is seeing how the characters and stages fit into that formula. Individual endings give you a reason to switch fighters after your first run, and Boss Edition adds four more characters to try.
Gerson Almeida created the Super Nintendo mod. SNES Forever lists the editions and update details.
