They really don't get enough love in these discussions. The character sprites, while not animated as fluidly as in games like Garou or SFIII, elicit an understanding of anatomy and a sense that each character was designed to conform to that understanding. On the topic of stylistic unification, this is a perfect example of it and each of these titles manage to (mostly) successfully use this throughline of character design to great effect in backgrounds so that the sprites are all believably there, both character and background character. To coincide with their focus on anatomical accuracy, their backgrounds borrow a lot from reality though they lend themselves to artistic interpretation just enough so that they're believable in the game world. Based SNK, and yes same SNKfag as >>6598683 .

The zoom-in introduction to pic related is fucking godly. The only good vid I could find of it has pisspoor audio quality, but here: https://youtu.be/PudOng5UR3I?t=132
