China Warrior vs. Getting kicked in the crotch - which is better?

[Arkhan]

For all you shrimpdicks that can't even get past Jesse the Body Ventura:


ALL THE KUNGS.

ALL THE FUS.

Meh, the bosses are easy if you know what you're doing. The grunts in the first region are so freakin' simplistic. The first one is total cheese for punches and the second one is kick fodder. The corny bitches in the second part are suckers for punches. The Mantis fist boss is a total sucker for high/low punch combos. The drunken master can be disposed of with either kick-traps or with the "Game Of Death" jump kick. The only punks who are a real threat are the clones, and even they can be wiped out relatively fast by mastering the timing of Wang's flurry punch. Yeah... motherf*cker's name is Wang.

I can spam everyone easily except the clones and Drunken Master final boss...but this is totally lame. The boss fights should be genuinely satisfying (pinning a boss in the corner and spamming moves is LAME and shouldn't be possible).

This is like spamming bombs on a boss in a shoot-em-up instead of employing a thoughtful strategy + precision maneuvering to take down the bastard.

I don't like when a brainless strategy is rewarded and allows progress.

Now, for the record, I can beat most bosses in China Warrior without mashing buttons brainlessly, but this is self-imposed discipline.

The boss encounters in China Warrior, IMHO, warrants legitimate criticism.

The voters that selected 'Kick to the family jewels' clearly have no balls.

That's exactly what I was thinking. 

[Tatsujin]

Maybe they ar lil curls and therefore wouldn't care anyway.

I kind of like China Warrior...  It's not the WORST thing ever.  It's better than, like, Urban f*cking Champion.

Comrade, open your heart and you will find a home for the orphaned China Warrior.

Never speak of Urban Champion and China Warrior in the same breath again. You have warned.

Namaste.

I got to bump this. i really do.

This game is the ultimate and for Arkhan and esteban further cementing this fact proves that it is a game worth owning. i haven't beaten this game but i can tell you i've gotten to the drunken master ONCE and got my ass handed to me.
stacking that life is really where it is at. if it wasn't for that incredible music, excellent graphics, and control it would never leave the shelf forever in the bindings of the case.

I must immediately hug you and welcome you to the small cadre of folks who Understand the Truth.

Personally, I get my a$$ handed to me 70% of the time with Drunken Master. I really don't have a great strategy (It's a war or attrition, where I can win as long as I have enough life in reserve).

30% of the time, I just get lucky where I get a few hits in before Drunken Master chops away an entire bar of life (or two) before I can successfully land a hit or two.

I am pretty sure Old_Rover has a real strategy for dealing with DM, but I am happy with my reckless, ridiculous method. IT MAKES FOR A NAIL-BITING, SUPER-STRESSFUL FINAL BOSS ENCOUNTER. It is a primal ALL-OR-NOTHING, high-stakes moment that is missing from so many games (to work through an entire game, simply to lose to the final boss, is classic formula for TRAGEDY, which I'm a sucker for).

Maybe, one day, I'll actually figure it out...but I've been playing this game for a long time and I just revert to "auto-pilot" PANIC MODE...

Double hug from esteban! What a lucky user.

Yeah... motherf*cker's name is Wang.

i "got" china warrior and i think im beginning to understand the concepts of pulling out the huge fist and shotgun

[Bklyn4ever]

I do agree that there are other titles worth playing before checking this one out, however, this game will always hold a special place within my heart. It was the 1st game I received, played, & beat on the system. My brothers and I received Vigilante, the legendary axe, blazing Lazers, dungeon explorer and this one for Xmas one yr.

This reminds me that I need to try to beat this one again.
