There are many more videos around, but... You get the picture.
If you have a good eye, you'll notice the real-time shadowing. Not like any other 2D game... The shadows from the trees actually interact with the individual limbs, due to invisible 3D models being used with the 2D sprites.

You can see animation even in detailed parts such as the hair, and the characters are animated even when they're crouching in neutral position, not doing any sort of attack. Up until now, Capcom's Street Fighter III series has been considered by many to be the epitome of 2D fighting game graphics. KOFXII is of the same caliber, but with much larger sprites.
