    Kizuna Encounter: Super Tag Battle - Neo Geo box artwork. Not really a well-known game, this was a 1996 weapon-based tag-team fighting game by SNK for the Neo Geo arcade and home platform.

    Saw a Savage Reign artwork and it made me want to draw Rosa from the sequel Kizuna Encounter, one of the best designs SNK ever did but for some reason they never made her playable in other game. Might do proper lineart and color when I'm not busy #art

    Savage Reign Neo Geo MVS, 1995 SNK Happy Fighting Game Friday! While I much prefer its sequel Kizuna Encounter, Savage Reign is still interesting. I admire their dedication to silly characters, like Carol, who wields the deadliest weapon of all, the dreaded exercise ball. #crt #retrogaming #fgc

    Ending the night playing Kizuna Encounter on my Neo Geo MVSX, this was a game I used to waste so many quarters on trying to beat the final boss. #RetroGaming

    Released mere weeks before XvsSF, Kizuna Encounter is the first game to feature Tag-Mechanics! This sequel to Savage Reign, eschews it's hang-from-the-ceiling Lane-System, but maintains it's emphasis on Weapons and adds the aformentioned Tag-System It also features a bevvy of KOF Defensive Options

    Also, I ran into Gadie from Brandish 1 - who I totally don't remember at all, but whatever. Turns out he married Gayla (also from the first game). Gayla reminds me a bit of Rosa from Kizuna Encounter on the Neo Geo. Neat, I think. #retrogaming #snes

    I'm a fighting game historian. Ask me for a game suggestion and I'll point you in the direction of The King of Fighters If you want something a little more obscure however... Kizuna Encounter, Waku Waku 7, Battle Arena Toshinden 3, Yu Yu Hakusho Final, and either Power Rangers game on Game Gear

    Kizuna Encounter having heavy punch and kick mapped to 6A/6B makes me think it'd be ideal as a 6 button game.

    Game 045: Kizuna Encounter: Super Tag Battle Given the absurd amount of fighting games released in the arcades in the 90s, a lot of them were destined to obscurity. Among them, was one of my favorite old fighters, one with a very original tag system, impactful combat and fantastic sprite art.

    Kizuna Encounter: Super Tag Battle for the #NeoGeo is one of the most silky smooth #fighting games I've ever played. Every aspect of the mechanics are designed to help even a novice pull off combos and specials. When a fighting game makes you feel powerful, that's a good fighting game. #retrogaming

    Random videogame pictures from my phone in reverse-chronological order. Joker from Kizuna Encounter. Holy hell is this game great. One of those fighting games that you can just jump in, push buttons, and have instant fun. One of the earliest instances of a tag-fighter, but not the earliest.

    Time for the official announcement of the beard monthly: Kizuna Encounter! This game is a sick, fast paced 2v2 tag fighter which works under tekken tag rules in which if the active character gets KO'd then the round is over, and this is a one and done game.

    had a dream about Fatal Fury last night, and you better believe I was complaining about the game to someone. Also one of the upcoming characters was a female version of 'Joker' the rollerblading clown from Kizuna Encounter, now with edgy Pennywise teeth and no rollerblades due to design cowardice

    I believe Kizuna Encounter does have one (it’s a fighting game I want some time) but yeah I expect to own more MVS carts than AES carts. Like the cheapest KOF2000 AES I saw was $500 where as an MVS cart is like $75 lol

    Looking more into things, and I would've expected for DP to be Swery's maybe second game or so, and from some angles, it is. But this dude actually did design on fucking Kizuna Encounter and The Last Blade 1-2, that's insane.

    IIRC Totu_Q on twitter was really labbing that game (and its sequel Kizuna Encounter) the past couple of years. I miss them, they were posting a lot of neat Cyberbots and Bloody Roar things before that.
