Ah, you’re right, the training mode in those old fighters was like a living dojo. You could see every hit, feel the rhythm of the combos, and the instant feedback made it feel like a real training session. Modern fitness apps are data‑driven and convenient, but they’re missing that visceral connection. They give you step counts and heart‑rate graphs, but no one tells you, “Nice, that hit landed on target!” So while they’re great for consistency, they can feel a bit sterile compared to a pixelated sparring partner. But hey, if you want to practice footwork, a classic arcade cabinet still holds up best.
