A strange little side quest
The fun part of looking behind Library Kiss Flash is seeing how many older ideas are still alive in modern play.

And then there is this: Street Fighter II, released in 1991, turned head-to-head arcade fighting into a worldwide phenomenon and helped define the modern fighting-game genre. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Library Kiss Flash feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
