There was something satisfyingly chunky about the older RBFF sprites. The Garou ones are more 'KOF' or even leaning on Capcom-ish for an SNK game.
In terms of backgrounds SNK's pixel backgrounds were generally superb, at least until the company imploded after 2000.
Marco's stage in Garou was amazing in that it told you so much about Marco himself and you can tell so much from his character design, the visuals, his animations and the background graphics of his stage without reading a single line of text about him.
picrel is AOF2, and even then they just ooze 'soul' which I use because I really cannot think of any other way to describe this quality of them.
