Favorite Turbo/PCE fighting games

[Michael Helgeson]

(I am way pretty by the way, wowee)

I was trying to add to the discussion -- maybe it was me who was misguided, but thank the lord because I'm loving what this thread has become.

From the "How do you look thread":

This is from awhile ago, but I'm still approximately this sexy.

I guess I have a stalker.....

Sooooooooo..back on topic

Finally got around to trying Flash Hiders.  Fun game, very nice graphics, and music.  Decent speed to it, and cool characters.  Not mind blowing, but a solid fighter. Still havelove for SF II, though I am personally still in a SF "funk".  Played it so often, and for so long. Still a great game, and the PCE port is my fave.  Kabuki Itouryodan , is prob my fave fighter (at least so far).  Butter smooth animatuions, great graphics & sound...and it's got Kabuki=instant win.

Now that you have that Hori stick,you can nab up the rest of the fighters out there and put that sucker to real use. 




EDIT: No point in trying to play picture tag, Ill just host them myself, so it does you no good to pull them, relink to diff images with the same name, or swap the stuff around after I quote it from your original links Lochlan. You're just wasting you time.

I was knocked out by how smooth the Kabuki Itouryoudan animation is- the smoothest fighter I've seen so far on pce.

Loverboy Lochlan- here's a 7th point.

7) Maybe if you didn't find the cakewalk boss-rush in Bonk's Adventure so challenging- people might actually value your opinion on games' playability...

and for someone who loves his own little one-ring circus- you're pretty boring.  No tigers, no elephants, just you as the lone clown- one who likes to paint hearts, wear earrings, and seem more than pleased by self generated attention.  These traits leave you with more in common with my nieces than anyone here- although admittedly my nieces wouldn't find the Bonk's Adventure boss rush so challenging.

Ah, this site is always good for a little drama every now and then. 

[Lochlan]

I apologize for offending anyone, but this thread has become ridiculous.

Jesus, I posted a couple marginally inflammatory comments and Michael Helgeson resorts to posting pictures of me and my profile and making a variety of ad hominem attacks (thinking that reposting public info about myself that I made public was somehow going to embarass me?)

SO because I don't know the boss patterns to a platformer I never claimed to be an expert in, suddenly my opinions on fighting games are invalidated?  Someone else posts pictures of me and won't stop ranting about an unrelated forum, and this attention towards me is self-generated? (I've barely posted in this thread relative to the response I received.)  I wear earrings and made a couple MS-paint hearts and suddenly I'm emasculated and juvenile?  You're trolling me, and telling me this is my "one ring circus"?

The real irony here is that the very response I've received from Michael Helgeson is uniquely "Neo-Geo-esque", given his quickness to make personal attacks instead of criticizing what I said about video games.  Again, sorry if I offended anyone, but I don't know what the hell I did to deserve such a bizarre response from self-styled "friendly forum".  I'll try to keep the inflammatory comments to a minimum.

I don't love this thread because I'm some kind of egomaniac troll who loves being under a microscope, I just find the whole dynamic that evolved from this thread very amusing.

Then quit responding and post ABOUT GAMES.  The back and forth won't get you anywhere obviously.  Kepping it going makes you as bad as you claim Mike to be.

GAME ON

So anyways, I plan to try out Fatal Fury 2, and World Heroes 2 hopefully tonight

[nectarsis]

Just got done with some play time on World Heroes 2, and Fatal Fury 2.  Both are fun games that I have never tried before.  Fatal Fury 2 has very large character sprites, with a somewhat limited roster.  Sound effects, and music were both good (not great), controls well enough.   

World Heroes 2 has been a game I wanted shortly after I got back into PCE/Turbo.  FINALLY got around to playing it tonight   Wile the character sprites are smaller than those in FF 2, I PERSONALLY find the characters more likable (and the roster is slightly larger here).  The music and sound effects are good, a step up from FF 2, while the music is also good.  I find the controls decent, but seem a hair more "clunky" than FF2.

I like the Street Fighter II port on the system.  Very impressive for a PCE game though I still mostly play it on the Super Famicom.

Never spend much time with the SNK ports.  They look pretty good on the PCE but I have all of them for my Neo already and I prefer those versions (and the controller).

The Kabuki fighting game I think is the most impressive looking original fighting game on the system.  Great animation.

As has been said before the PCE is not really a fighter system but it does have respectable games from the genre.  After reading this thread I really want to try the Godzilla game.

Just talking about the one-on-one stuff here, not the brawlers.
 
List your top ten/five/two/one/whatever.  Here are my fab five:
 
#5 Godzilla
Excellent presentation, and controls that are much smoother than they're typically given credit for. 
 
#4 Kabuki Ittouryoudan
An SF2 clone, to be sure, but it feels great.  And, being a Kabuki Den fan, I love the cast of characters. 
 
#3 Street Fighter 2' CE
f*cking awesome port, though I can't help but yearn for the speed and audio of SNES Turbo. 
 
#2 Art of Fighting
Technically, this should be a couple spots lower, but it's kind of a personal favorite, as I really dig the gameplay.  Go figure.
 
#1 Asuka 120%
Gives me everything I could ask for in a fighter: fast gameplay, smooth controls, great music, accessible action, fun characters and attack moves, good multiplayer, and a few cute girls. 
 
I've played a bunch of others (Advanced VG, Fatal Fury Special and 2, Ranma 3, Fighting Street...), but those five are head and shoulders above them. 
 
Two that I haven't tried yet are Flash Hiders and World Heroes 2.  Some reshuffling may be in other after I get my hands on those. 

Flash Hiders is just awesome and one of my alltime favorite fighting games


I have to go with this lineup:


5.Fatal Fury special

4.Street fighter II

3.Kabuki

2.Asuka 120%

1.Flash Hiders

Too many long posts here, so back on topic :

actually, my favourite pce fighting games are not ports. Why? Just because when you play fighting game ports, they feel like they are ports. I mean, Fatal Fury Special is a very great port indeed but some of the backgrounds are not very nice (Andy Bogart's stage, for instance) while others are really well made and are really close to the original (Tung Fu Rue's stage is the most impressive to me). In a way, World Heroes 2 is the best Neogeo port for the PCE as it is the closest to the Neogeo version of the 4 Neogeo ports. Too bad it is a port of a Neogeo average game, even if I like it, though.

So here is my list :

1) Kabuki Itouryoudan : great graphics, great animation, smooth gameplay and you really feel it was developed exclusively for the PCE, as the backgrounds are not overdetailed as some backgrounds in FF Special.

2) Flash Hiders : many people I know don't like it. Some backgrounds I really poor graphic wise but I like the gameplay, the sounds and the animation.

3) Fatal Fury Special : great port. I enjoy playing this game even if I own the Neogeo version.

4) World Heroes 2 : the best Neogeo port on the system, in my opinion

5) Asuka : decent fighting game

I also kinda like Godzilla. It's really different from the usual fighting games but I think it is the best game based on the Godzilla characters of all times (not too hard).
