YMMV / Genei Tougi

• Even Better Sequel: While Genei Tougi: Shadow Struggle is regarded as either So Okay, It's Average or "Meh", its Surprisingly Improved Sequel Critical Blow managed to attain better critical (no pun intended) acclaim.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Hagane Ichinomiya is someone who has a strong resemblance to Kazuya Mishima, physically and, to a lesser extent, characterization-wise. In an amusing turn of events Bandai, the company that published the Genei Tougi duology under its Banpresto subsidiary, would merge with Namco in 2006 to make Bandai Namco Entertainment. Thus, Hagane now is under the same corporate proverbial roof as the character from a franchise that he is modeled after.
• Sequel Displacement: Critical Blow is more well known than the prior game, Genei Tougi: Shadow Struggle. Case in point, on TV Tropes' Fighting Game page for a long time, Critical Blow was listed without any acknowledgement that it was the sequel of a prior game.
