YMMV / Tobal

• Dancing Bear: Tobal 2 is a fairly average Japan-exclusive Tekken clone that has two big things going for it; It has character designs from Akira Toriyama, and it has a roster of exactly 200 playable characters, which is still the largest roster for a fighting game decades after its release.^note Unless you count Professional Wrestling games, which would have Fire Pro Wrestling Returns beat it out at 327.
• Just Here for Godzilla: Tobal No. 1 for its demo for Final Fantasy VII.
• Sidetracked by the Gold Saucer: Tobal No. 1 was a unique take on fighting games set in 3D back in the early days of the genre. While it was unique enough on its own to be fun, it also included a rather hard dungeon exploration mode with randomly generated dungeons, monsters to fight that would test your skills (and were not just reskins of the fighters available), and was genuinely fun. After the fighting was done, you could count on hours and hours of replay in the dungeon.
• Surprisingly Improved Sequel: Tobal No. 1 was an interesting, creative attempt by Squaresoft and Dream Factory at making a wholly original fighting game, but the graphics and the included Quest mode were on the simplistic side. Tobal 2 increased production value across the board, having much better-textured characters while maintaining its rock-solid 60 frames per second, fighter movesets were rebalanced and given projectiles, and the Quest mode evolved into a very thorough and lengthy experience, and its roster was magnitudes larger as you could eventually unlock over 200 characters to use!
• Visual Effects of Awesome: The in-game character models in Tobal 2 look terrific and perfectly represent Akira Toriyama's signature style. Characters even have fully rendered and defined facial features (including articulated eyes and mouths) as opposed to the common face texture overlaid across simple polygons usually seen on mid-90's PlayStation games, which is very impressive for a game released in 1997 (to get an idea, Super Mario 64 included Mario's fully-rendered head on the title screen specifically to show off the N64's superior graphical capabilities just one year earlier).
