There are no crouching attacks in SNK Heroines. Each character’s move lists barely cover the entire menu screen, with some characters having a few follow-up moves to specials being the only differentiating factor. Unlike Blade Strangers though, SNK Heroines does not have a robust number of system mechanics to complement the simplified control scheme. You also perform your super move, called a Dream Finish, with the press of a single button. Special moves are done by pressing the special button combined with up, down, left, or right directions, similar to Super Smash Bros. You can chain three light attacks together to perform the only auto combo option available in the game. You have light attacks, strong attacks, throws (and every character has air throws), and special moves. Similar to Blade Strangers, SNK Heroines has a simplified control setup.
It also doesn’t help that the screen is being constantly bombarded with obnoxious effects like teddy bears, candy, and flowers to try and accentuate the “cute” theme of the game. SNK Heroines does not have a strong graphical presence, being mostly character models lifted straight from KoF XIV, but the fighting is where the game truly suffers. Unfortunately, SNK Heroines delivers on none of those hopes, instead delivering a sub-par fighter that pleases neither the fighting game hardcore nor the casual audience they are trying to reign in. So when SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy was announced, fans like myself were hopeful that it would be a spiritual successor to Gals’ Fighter, with it being an all-female fighter with a simplified system compared to its big brother, King of Fighters.
One of SNK’s more obscure but fondly remembered titles was called SNK Gals’ Fighters, a 2D fighter in the vein of Pocket Fighter on the Neo Geo Pocket Color, which featured an all-female cast.

Their King of Fighters series is second only to Street Fighter in the legacy of franchises born in the arcades of the early ’90s. SNK has been in the game for a very long time.
