The Neo Geo Mini is a big improvement over the Neo Geo X, but that's not really saying much. This is the Japanese Neo Geo Mini, but SNK released many variants of it, which I'll no doubt get round to playing at some point in the future...

Playthrough with Krauser. By this game's standards, it wasn't quite as difficult to beat the game and fight Ryo with Krauser compared to other character's I've used. I mean, it's still really hard, but the he Krauser strats are very basic: use his blitz ball, then if the opponent jumps towards you, use his leg tomahawk move to hit them. On certain opponents just spamming blitz ball is enough.

Playthrough with Kain. He's the game's final boss but the player-controlled version is toned down compared to the CPU version. I didn't find him much fun to use either, other than him having a really good T.O.P. attack -if the opponent tries to block three of these attacks in a row, it'll break their guard.

Playthrough with Bob. Bob was a lot of fun to use in this game because his desperation attack is really good at breaking the stage objects, especially if the opponent blocks it. This leads to a lot of quick fights, as you can send the opponent out of bounds easily.

Playthrough with Rick. This game is the hardest of the Real Bout series, and if you want to fight the hidden boss not only do you need to not lose any rounds, you also have to connect with certain super moves several times. Rick's potential power move is the one to use, the CPU tends to get hit by it a lot.
