Summary
Best of the Best: Championship Karate lets you step into the ring with a roster of black‑belt kick‑boxing masters, each waiting for you to claim the championship title. The game feels like a true martial‑arts tournament, where every bout is a test of timing and strategy rather than just button‑mashing.
After picking a fighter, you allocate points to strength, stamina and resistance, then dive into a toolbox of 55 distinct moves. The real twist is the gym mode: training boosts those three stats, but a single loss chips them away, forcing you to balance preparation with competition. It’s a satisfying loop that rewards careful planning before each match.
Even martial‑artist actor Ron Yuan praised the title in a 1994 interview, calling it the best SNES fighting game from a technical martial‑arts perspective despite its low profile. That endorsement still rings true for anyone who appreciates a realistic, grind‑heavy fighting experience.
