As a .zip archive, installation is manual. You will need to extract the contents into your game's chars or mods folder. Note that there is no "auto-installer" included; you must manually edit your configuration files to recognize the new character. The sprites are typical of the 2018 era

A solid, "old-school" asset pack for fighting game enthusiasts. It’s a nostalgic piece of modding history that still functions well for those who prefer the classic 2D aesthetic.
